Longboat Key, FL Real Estate
Longboat Key is a barrier island located just offshore of Florida’s West Coast, with Sarasota Bay to the east and the Gulf of Mexico on the island’s western side. Although the island has a permanent population of some 8,000 residents, including retirees and second-home owners, the Key’s desirability as a tourist destination can easily triple the population during the height of the winter tourist season.
Longboat Key has one main thoroughfare, Gulf of Mexico Drive (State Road 789), which runs north/south, and is connected to the mainland and other barrier islands by a series of bridges. There are some 500 single-family homes on the Key, and many more condominium units which are occupied by those full and part time residents who prefer a condo lifestyle.
Tennis and golf enthusiasts will appreciate first class facilities on the island. Longboat Key is the only barrier island in the Sarasota area with a golf course. The Longboat Key Club is a private club consisting of tennis and 45 holes of golf.
