SARASOTA
NEIGHBORHOODS
Longboat Key
The northernmost of the Sarasota barrier islands, Longboat Key is located
half in Manatee County and half in Sarasota County. The 11-mile island
paradise is connected by bridge to Anna Maria Island to the north and Lido
Key to the south. Home of world-class golf and tennis resorts, Longboat
Key is a wonderland of manicured fairways and opulent highrise
condominiums lining the Gulf of Mexico.
Manasota Key
The southernmost island in Sarasota County, quaint Manasota Key has no
highrise buildings or traffic lights. It is accessible by two bridges,
one in Sarasota County and one in Charlotte County. A two-lane, canopied
road runs the length of the key with properties on both sides, many of
them spanning both the bayfront and gulf-front. Pristine beaches include
a state park and wildlife sanctuary on the far south end of the key.
Siesta Key
Home of the “world’s whitest sand beach,” Siesta Key is an eight-mile
island connected to the mainland by two bridges. The feel of an Old
Florida tropical island is enhanced with mature trees, lush foliage and
flowering plants. A mix of residential options range from waterfront homes
and mid-rise condominiums to quaint beach cottages.
