In our post-pandemic world, emerging cities and coastal towns have seen an influx of traffic from outside areas and one in particular, Florida's West Coast, has blossomed into one of the hottest markets for luxury real estate.
From the endless sunshine, beautiful beaches and parks, to tax benefits, Florida has shifted from simply a vacation destination to a place to call home, no matter the season. One hidden haven located in both Sarasota and Manatee Counties is Longboat Key, a sophisticated, growing region off the West Coast of Florida that is nine miles northwest of Sarasota and almost 40 miles south of Tampa.
To live where you vacation can be a breeze with these top three developments in Longboat Key.
The Residences at The St. Regis Longboat Key Resort offers three six-story residential buildings with 69 luxury condominiums and ideal access to the highly regarded shopping district of St. Armand’s Circle. St. Armand’s Circle offers designer brands, luxury services and unique dining experiences, as well as an array of events such as art festivals, boat shows, holiday happenings and more.
For those looking for an oasis with luxurious exclusivity, Sage Longboat Key Residences is a brand new boutique condominium development featuring 16 private residences. Sage Longboat Key offers residents an extraordinary health-conscious lifestyle with direct views of the Gulf of Mexico and the Sarasota Bay. Designed with a focus on wellness, the four-level project will offer an array of resort-like amenities while offering a single home family feel, and services including a vanishing edge pool and spa, private full-service beach club, elite concierge service, meditation garden and yoga studio, a state-of-the-art fitness center and more.
The residences at Sage come delivered fully-furnished and finished, and each resilience will be designed with 12-foot ceilings, eight-foot entry doors, floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive private terraces. Interiors are curated with the finest finishes, from exquisite marble and wood flooring to custom concealed Italian cabinetry. Chef-inspired kitchens are equipped with state-of-the-art appliances, endless marble countertops and wine storage, while owners’ suites boast custom walk-in closets, midnight bars and spa-like baths. Outdoor living spaces are complete with summer kitchens and weather-resistant entertainment systems, perfect for entertaining while overlooking the stunning sands of the West Coast of Florida.
Just nine miles from Longboat Key is The Ritz-Carlton Residences Sarasota that offers 73 grand condominium residences in a 18-story waterfront tower located adjacent to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel and within The Quay Sarasota shopping and entertainment district. This project combines the relaxing beachfront with Sarasota’s contemporary downtown and convenient access to an array of attractions like the Circus Arts Conservatory, Sarasota Jungle Gardens, Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, Asolo Repertory Theatre and more.
