Find the Longboat Key condos that actually fit you

Ninety-two. The site profiles 103 Longboat Key communities and buildings, and the finder searches every one that has a published page and an estimated price range. The remaining eleven are held back because their specifics have not been confirmed against a primary source yet, and a result you cannot stand behind is worse than a shorter list.

Both from the county. Build years are taken from the Sarasota and Manatee certified tax rolls, and a range rather than a single year means the community was built out over time, which on this island is common. The island end is the assessing county: Longboat Key’s county line runs across the middle of the key, so a Sarasota-assessed building is on the south half and a Manatee one on the north. That is a checkable fact rather than a marketing boundary, which is also why there is no "mid-key" option.

Because the data does not exist yet, and pretending otherwise would be the worst thing this tool could do. Across 103 communities the recorded information covers pets on three, rental rules on nine, and a deeded slip on exactly one. Offering those as checkboxes would return a near-empty list and imply the other hundred had been checked and failed. They have not been. Send me the building you are considering and I will read the declaration.

They are estimates, labelled as such, and they come from the same table published at /longboat-key-cdd-hoa-fees rather than from a separate source, so the finder and the fee page cannot disagree. Before anyone writes an offer I pull the association’s current operating budget, its financial statements and its structural integrity reserve study, because on a building of this age the reserve position decides the real cost more than the view does.
