Live on an Island
Friday, November 14th, 2008Do you know what a “barrier island” is? Let me try to paint you a colorful picture of one. Sarasota is home to one of the most popular barrier islands, Longboat Key. On one side of the Bay you see nothing but beautify city lights while looking to the other side you see crystal clear waters and the Gulf of Mexico beaches. Longboat Key is connected to Sarasota at both ends by bridges allowing access to all the city amenities and attractions day or night. You will find the charm of the island scenery and shopping a most delightful and unique experience.
Longboat Key real estate has many beautiful neighborhoods with a huge selection of oceanfront homes and condominiums. The construction on the island has been maintained carefully with enough space for all residents that allow privacy for all. With only one main road being the Gulf of Mexico Drive, you are sure not to miss any of the splendors and beauty of the island. There are parks, golf courses, as well as undeveloped beaches along the island coast to help preserve Longboat Key’s island splendor. This also serves as a way to maintain the population and not have overcrowding as so many small islands or “Barrier Islands” will have.
With tropical breezes and sunshine year round, one could find themselves in a lifestyle of pure pleasure every day. Homes ranging from old Florida cottages to picturesque estates, from scenic rivers to bay waters you will soon see how the dream of waterfront living can become a reality for you and your family.
