Bird Key

Welcome to Bird Key

One of the most sought-after neighborhoods in Sarasota, Florida, is an exceptional place to call home. If you are considering buying a home here, I welcome you. As a long-time Bird Key Realtor, I am happy to provide you with the information you need to make the best buying decision for your needs. This neighborhood guide to Bird Key is a solid starting point, and I’m confident you’ll love this beautiful, welcoming community with a true resort feel (those palm trees and waterfront views make it stunning).

I’m Bruce Myer, and I cannot wait to give you some excellent Bird Key real estate insights so you can determine if this is the ideal place for you to call home.

Bird Key is a 250-acre barrier island located in the heart of Sarasota Bay. The community is exclusive, with only 510 luxury homes to choose from, without any condominiums, high-rises, or busy hotels to spoil the beauty of this location. It is a treasure with its blue water, private marinas, and nearby crystal white Lido beaches, but what’s especially beneficial here is the lack of tourism. The secluded streets are lined with beautiful palm trees as owners and guests explore the area, walking and riding on golf carts over small canal bridges without the requirement of a vehicle. If you want privacy but still want to be conveniently close to Downtown Sarasota and the surrounding region, Bird Key is a solid choice.

To provide a bit about Bird Key’s history, consider that the first home here was built in 1917 after the owner, Lindsay Davie, accidentally made her way to the island years before as she was boating with a group of friends. Its name comes from the large flocks of birds that once called this area home.

The lifestyle here is welcoming, relaxing, and filled with good people, enjoyable amenities, and time out on your boat. As real estate agents, my team and I are always here to help you get a better look into what you can expect here.
