Siesta Key Florida - Own a Condo in Paradise

Siesta Key Florida has so much to offer, but the most desirable amenity is World famous Siesta Key Beach. Last year Doctor Beach moved Siesta Key up to the no. 2 spot on its Top Ten Best Beaches in the United States List and buyer’s returned to this hot destination, off the coast of Sarasota in Southwest Florida.

Real estate possibilities on Siesta Key Florida are endless from small beach cottages to mid-rise condominiums. If you are looking for newer condos, there are only a few new condominium complexes offering top amenities: Crescent, Summer Cove and Marina del Sol to name a few. A few smaller new buildings were built after 2000 and prices start around $449,000 and go up to over $3 million for these newer buildings. There just isn’t a lot of waterfront land available so many older condo buildings are refurbishing their resident areas and creating outdoor spaces for tropical living. Buyers are making offers and sellers are negotiating Siesta Key real estate. Deals are taking place and the best inventory is selling.

If you have an eye for design, you might consider refurbishing a condo on Siesta Key at Siesta Towers, Siesta Dunes or possibly Casarina. These popular buildings are priced far below their peak prices and negotiations are working. Make an offer and move in before the 2011 winter season. The dream of ownership at the beach just became affordable again.

You can find a canal homes, updated in the $400,000s now. There are approximately 50 homes for sale on the Siesta Key canals. Some of the homes offer boat docks, wide canal views and easy access to the mainland and Siesta Key Village. If you have a large boat, be sure to check the water depth and whether there is a bridge to the Bay. Prices range from $400,000s to over $9 million for these canal front homes.

Siesta Key residents enjoy downtown Sarasota, Florida’s cultural venues as well as the island’s beach, Siesta Key Village and excellent restaurants. Shopping on the mainland is a short drive from the Key also. Paradise is a phone call away.
