Relative affordability in a sought-after waterfront location is definitely a selling point for condos for sale in Longboat Arms. This community is cradled by Cranes Bayou, a serene water course which is a few paddle strokes away from the charming Buttonwood Harbor extending onward to the waters of Sarasota Bay.

Longboat Arms condos for sale are directly opposite many of the pricey single family homes of the Buttonwood Harbor community across the bayou in the Bay Isles area of the gated Longboat Key Club. To take full advantage of its charming location at 3320 Gulf of Mexico Drive, this condominium was developed as a well laid-out cluster of low-rise townhouses basking amid a refreshing backdrop of well-manicured lawns and lovely gardens.

Major updates in place
