A tropical paradise you can call home.
A gorgeous blend of past and present, this 225 home neighborhood offers a wide array of architectural styles that feature Old Florida, Mediterranean, and Contemporary design. As on many of Sarasota’s islands, artisan renovations have transformed earlier period homes into bay front mansions and sprawling estates.
Located west of downtown Sarasota and just north of Siesta Key, Lido Key is famous for its unhurried tropical lifestyle and island charm. Lido Key is connected to the mainland of Sarasota via St. Armands Key by bridge. A bridge also connects Lido and Longboat Key.
Lido Shores is formed by the Gulf of Mexico, Sarasota Bay, and New Pass. This picturesque setting provides the perfect backdrop for dramatic, upscale homes created by some of Sarasota’s most talented architects and designers. Deed-restrictions help preserve the serenity of this tropical paradise with its own private beach, accessible only to homeowners of Lido Shores.
With its locally flavored shops and restaurants, residents of Lido Key appreciate the island ambiance and skyline view which is protected by laws that limit the size and number of buildings. It’s probably for this reason that Lido Key has attracted artists, intellectuals and successful entrepreneurs from all over the world.
