The quiet resort lifestyle makes Longboat Key a popular Florida destination for retired couples and families. Home owners never run out of things to do with all of the recreational and enriching opportunities this area has to offer. Longboat Key is home to stretches of soft white sand beaches that don’t get as crowded as some of the other Florida beaches. Water sports, boating, and fishing are real popular thanks to all of the water provided by the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay and bayous. Home owners can also be found biking, rollerblading, or golfing and playing tennis at the Longboat Key Country Clubs. Delicious restaurants and enticing shops provide additional entertainment.
With the city of Sarasota also just minutes away from Longboat Key, home owners have the convenience of a cultural haven. Residents enjoy the Performing Arts Center, Theaters, Ringling Museum and the Sarasota Opera House. For traveling outside of the island, Gulf of Mexico Drive is the main road running through Longboat Key, and the New Pass Bridge and Longboat Pass Bridge connect the island to Lido Key and Anna Maria Island respectively. These islands then provide access to the mainland in both Manatee County and Sarasota County. Many Longboat Key home owners use these routes to commute into Bradenton, Fort Meyers, Naples and Tampa. Most houses in this calm and quiet island community are located with easy access to these cities, making Longboat Key real estate favorable for those buying a home in Florida.
