Location:
Longboat Key Florida is within a few miles of Sarasota but feels like another country. Commercial development has been controlled through careful planning, so signage, strip malls and roadside attractions have been restricted. Year round population is 8000 and peaks at 22,000.
The island's proximity to Sarasota provides cultural attractions, shopping and dining when needed and if required Sarasota also has the highly rated Sarasota General Hospital.
Recreation:
Longboat Key has a large wide concrete walk way for most of its 12-mile length for walking, jogging or slow bike riding. Bike lanes in each direction on Gulf of Mexico Drive accommodate more ambitious cycling. This also connects to keys in the north and south so longer rides are easy. For your enjoyment and convenience, the house also has two Raleigh bikes, new stainless steel gas grill, new washer and dryer, TV and Internet connection. |
