The current market has opened up areas of town previously untouchable by "normal" homebuyers - those of us who do not have a million dollars lying around.
Once the playground of only the rich and famous, the hottest areas in Sarasota allow walking to the beach, proximity to all downtown has to offer, and scenic neighborhoods on the water.
Bird Key is home to multi-million dollar waterfront homes - but the homes in the middle of the Key, the "garden homes", have fallen to levels that make it completely affordable for families. Why is this Key so hot? The community is surrounded by water, is walking distance to both downtown Sarasota in one direction and St. Armands in the other - and HOA fees are a mere $380 per year! The Bird Key yacht club is available for additional amenities but is not a required expense. Lido Beach is an aggressive walk (20 minutes) or a very short drive across to Lido Key.
Just south of downtown is Bungalow Hill - an upscale bayfront neighborhood characterized by older homes, usually renovated beautifully, and situated on quiet, walkable tree lined streets. Within walking distance is Selby Gardens, the Sarasota Bayfront, Main Street, Towles Court and all of downtowns great events and amenities.
Lido Key (St. Armand's) and Siesta Key have always been favorites for those who want to walk to the beach - every day. Although very different in both personality and amenities, both Key offer what every beach lover craves - expansive, beautiful beaches and crystal water within minutes. And during season, its easy to see why beach bums want to live physically on the Key - no driving over the causeways, which can get very crowded. Both Siesta and Lido are attracting families like never before.
