Real estate in Sarasota FL is found in a variety of neighborhoods, many of which appear on the region’s beautiful barrier islands. Perhaps one of the most prestigious and sought-after of these islands is Bird Key, located between Downtown Sarasota and Lido Key. Developed in the 1950s and 1960s, much of the original Bird Key real estate has been torn down to make way for new residences. Unlike a number of the other barrier islands, the gated community of Bird Key does not feature any high-rise condominium complexes. Instead, those who are interested in purchasing Bird Key Sarasota homes for sale are offered an exquisite selection of single-family luxury properties, ranging from 2,000 square foot ranch-style homes, to massive multi-level estates that are considered by many to be among the finest in Sarasota. In total, there are 510 homes in Bird Key, with over 300 being situated waterfront. Several of the properties feature private, deep water access to both the Sarasota Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Because of this, Bird Key is a boat lover’s dream.
