Longboat Key

Spanning both Sarasota County and Manatee County, Longboat condos can only be glimpsed from Gulf of Mexico Drive as many are beyond gates. Single family homes, many with canals for your yacht, are also available. New construction features elegant, massive condos available for millions, or older homes well below. With one road and few bridges to the mainland, season is a challenge with traffic. The Longboat Key Publix is a delight with cheeses, wines, even candy not available in other Publix due to the affluent customer who is more demanding.  Condos with Bay views are quite reasonable. There are even condos where you can float your boat outside your back door. And for under $300k
