The municipality of Longboat Key in Florida is unique in many aspects. There is the issue of being split across the jurisdiction of two Southwest Florida counties: Manatee in the north and Sarasota to the south. Then there is the unique beauty of the island shores and the dazzling white sands of the beaches. In terms of real estate, the Cedars East and West communities are as unique as Longboat Key and can’t be easily defined.

Some people call the residences of Cedars condos, although they are more like town homes or row houses built right on the beach. The Cedars community is located on the northern section of Longboat Key, tucked away from the luxury resorts and condominium towers located just a few minutes south. There are 149 residences at Cedars, and they sit majestically close to the beach. The Cedars neighborhood encompasses 66 acres of town houses, landscaping, vegetation, tennis courts, and other amenities.

The floor plans at Cedars are exactly what you would expect from Florida town homes by the beach. Modest and affordable one-bedroom units are priced at $400K. Three-bedroom town houses can be negotiated for $1 million dollars. The living spaces range from 1,274 to 2,813 square feet. Cedars East doubles as a tennis club with ten Har-Tru courts and a club house complete with pro shop. Cedars West residents enjoy a private fishing pier and a launch for small boats and kayaks, perfect for exploring the nearby Harris Bayou and Millar Bay. Cedars residents can lounge by the pool after enjoying a day at the beach, or they can entertain guests at the club house restaurant and bar area.

Shopping and dining can be conveniently accomplished without leaving the island, but expanded entertainment and cultural options are just across the bridges connecting Longboat Key to Bradenton and Sarasota.
