Bird Key Real Estate

Located between downtown Sarasota and Lido Key is the exclusive waterfront neighborhood of Bird Key. There are only about 510 fortunate residents that call Bird Key home. The John Ringling Causeway, the new fixed span bridge, allows residents of Bird Key to be just a few minutes away from the attractions and excitement of Downtown Sarasota, the beaches of Lido Key and Longboat Key, as well as the popular destination spot of St. Armands Circle.
Bird Key real estate is made up of bay front homes, canal homes and garden (non-waterfront) homes. This is one of the most sought after areas in Sarasota, Florida. You will notice that many of the homes on Bird Key are newer. The island was developed in the 1950's and 1960's yet the area is in such high demand that many of the older homes have been torn down to make way for newer ones.
If you are searching for a luxurious waterfront similar to Bird Key you should also explore Lido Key, Casey Key, Siesta Key and Longboat Key as well.

Bird Key Florida Homes
The Bird Key real estate area is much admired by serious boaters. The canal front and bay front homes on the island can accommodate both large yachts and sailboats, and the bay front estates offer unparalleled views of the water and downtown Sarasota. Bird Key also has its own private yacht club.
Bird Key Waterfront Homes
Homes on Bird Key essentially fall into three categories - Homes on the Bay, Canal homes and Garden (interior, non-waterfront) homes. Prices start around $400,000 and go up into the multi-millions.
Bird Key Homes on the Bay
I have heard it time and time again. I will be driving over the Ringling bridge west towards Lido Key with a potential buyer in the car and hear, "Wow, there are some pretty homes over there." They are of course referring to the bay front homes on Bird Key. They are usually commenting about the grandiose waterfront homes on the east side of Bird Key along Seagull Lane, East Royal Flamingo, Robin Drive and Meadow Lark Drive. The views from these homes overlook Marina Jack's, downtown Sarasota skyline and Sarasota Bay. They are some of the nice waters views that you can find in Sarasota, Florida. The bay homes on the west of Bird Key include those along Mourning Dove Drive, South Spoonbill Drive, West Royal Flamingo, Bird Key Drive, South & North Warbler Lane and Seagull Lane. These also have amazing water views. The bayfront homes to the west have stunning sunset views over the Sarasota Bay looking towards Lido Key and St. Armands Key. On the south end of the island the bay homes along South Spoonbill Drive and Mourning Dove Drive have amazing water views overlooking the north end of Siesta Key, south end of Lido Key and Big Pass. I challenge anyone to find a bad bay view on Bird Key.
Bird Key Canal Homes
Bird Key is blessed with wide deep canals that make it easy for boaters to navigate. There are no bridges to worry about so large yachts and sailboats are welcome. The Sarasota Bay and Gulf of Mexico are within a very short boat ride. The water views behind the Bird Key canal homes are pleasant. It is a great place to enjoy your morning coffee as well as a tasty dinner and drink with your family. Imagine jumping on the boat behind your house for a day on the water or a late day cruise to catch the magnificent sunsets.
Bird Key Garden Homes
These are the non-waterfront homes on Bird Key. These are great for those looking to get into Bird Key on the lower end of the price spectrum. Garden homes make great investments since they are surrounded by many multi-million dollar waterfront estates.
