Longboat Key Real Estate

From the mangrove lined canals and bungalows in the historic Village on the north end to the shimmering towers of luxurious residences on the south end, all residents of Longboat Key have one thing in common – easy access to an 11 mile ribbon of sugary white sandy beaches that are among the best in the world.

The Longboat Key Club and Resort on the south end of the island sports a AAA Four Diamond rating and offers 45 holes of championship golf, 18 Har-Tru tennis courts, a fitness center, the Island House Spa, 5 restaurants, and Longboat Key Moorings, a 291 slip deep water marina. The Club offers several different levels of membership to meet a variety of needs and interests.

Real estate options run the gamut. Most of the gulf front residences are condominiums of various ages, sizes, building designs, amenity levels, and price ranges. The bayside of Gulf of Mexico Drive is a mixture of single family homes and condominiums. Many of the single family homes are on canals with easy access to Sarasota Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway.

Longboat Key is only a short drive away from all the attractions and amenities available in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, including the Sarasota Bradenton Airport, the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, The Asolo Repertory Theatre, The Ringling Museum, The South Florida Museum, Selby Gardens, Jungle Gardens, and more.

The island is only an hour away from major professional sports franchises including the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tampa Bay Bucs, and Tampa Bay Rays. The home of the Orlando Magic is also only a couple of hours away, along with the other countless Orlando attractions. Finally, don’t forget major league baseball spring training – you are in the heart of it with the Pittsburg Pirates in Bradenton and the Cincinnati Reds in Sarasota, plus dozens of other teams within a short afternoon’s drive.
