Siesta Key Real Estate
Have you ever considered owing real estate in Florida? Do you like the beach? Perhaps you love to live a culture filled lifestyle and attend live performances and visit art galleries and museums? Perhaps playing golf is one of your favorite things to do?
What if I told you there was a tropical island located off the mainland shore of Sarasota Florida that is home to the #2 beach in the US and this island is within a 30 minute drive to 8 of the best theaters, the fourth largest collection of classical art, 40 plus golf courses and the annual temperatures average 73 degrees?
Well there is such a place and the name of this beautiful island is Siesta Key.
Siesta Key is an 8 mile long island located just offshore from Sarasota Florida on the Gulf of Mexico. This island is host to a beach that has, according to the Great International White Sand Beach Challenge held in 1987, the whitest and finest sand in the world.
Sarasota Florida is a beautiful city filled with art and culture. The Ringling Museum of Art can be found here. This art collection was a gift to the city of Sarasota by John Ringling, an early 20th century entrepreneur and owner of the Ringling Brothers & Barnum Bailey Circus that was so profoundly dubbed the “Greatest Show on Earth”. The art within the museum is the fourth largest collection of classical art in the United States.
Siesta Key is Sarasota’s beach paradise and the island is home to more than 24,000 residents and vacationers during the winter season. For many vacation goers owning real estate on this paradise island is a welcome idea but without knowing what is available on the island, where do they start?
One Sarasota neighborhood that is worth considering is Siesta Cove. This neighborhood is centrally located on the island making it close to all the amenities Siesta Key has to offer. What is the best thing about Siesta Cove? It is within walking distance to the Siesta Key Beach.
Siesta Cove also features some amazing waterfront residences that provide boaters with direct access to the Intracoastal Waterway or ICW. Home prices in this neighborhood range in price form $500,000 to more than $5 million for the most opulent waterfront residences.
Siesta Cove can be found on the east side of Midnight Pass Road just north of the Beach Road intersection. Siesta Key Village is just a short drive away as are the two bridges that provide access to the mainland and shopping opportunities in Sarasota.
Sarasota Florida is a culture rich city that appeals to anyone wishing to escape the cold northern climates and enjoy a tropical waterfront lifestyle. Siesta Key is a gem in Sarasotas’ crown and Siesta Cove is one of the many facets that offer beautiful homes and a great place to live on the island.
