Among the various opportunities for beachfront living in Southwest Florida, Longboat Key stands as one of the crowning achievements of real estate development. Longboat Key is a long barrier island that forms part of the crowning jewels of Florida’s Gulf Coast: The Sarasota Keys. The sheer diversity of real estate options across this island is a dream come true for house hunters.
The town of Longboat Key is split among the counties of Manatee and Sarasota; it connects with the cities of Bradenton and Sarasota by a network of scenic causeways. The white sands of its gorgeous beaches and the island’s natural beauty attract many visitors from all around, but even during high tourist season it does not feel overcrowded thanks to the long stretches of coastline. This makes Longboat Key a perfect community for those looking for privacy and tranquility.
The Longboat Key lifestyle combines small town charm with the leisurely ambiance of a luxury beach resort. Many of the residential communities are elegant condominiums with private beach access and spectacular views of the Gulf of Mexico or the Sarasota Bay. Single-family homes and large estates with their own docks compete with maintenance-free villas and apartments. There’s even a country club that features a challenging golf course with great vistas.
Longboat Key is filled with amenities. Boating, fishing, golf, tennis, beach combing, socializing, and exploring nature are some of the most popular activities among residents. Longboat Key is by no means an isolated island; there are various seaside restaurants to discover as well as a centrally-located shopping center anchored by a Publix GreenWise Market that carries gourmet items. For a more comprehensive shopping and entertainment experience, the chic shops, bars and restaurants of St. Armands Circle are just a short drive away.
Snowbirds, retirees and families all enjoy the high quality of life at Longboat Key. Young residents may enroll in the Manatee or Sarasota public school districts depending on the location of their island neighborhoods.
