Lido Key Condos


In January, we showed customers from Delaware some Lido Key condos as well as Longboat Key. These units were priced at under $800,000 for a minimum of two bedrooms and two baths, all with Gulf views.

The winter selling season is over, and we thought an update of Lido Key condos under $800,000 was in order.

In the last six months, 8 Lido Key condominiums have sold. From data in the Sarasota MLS, the lowest priced condo to sell in this time period was a unit at Lido Presidential. The condo was listed at $199,000 and the selling price was $196,322. This was a short sale.

Lido Presidential was built in 1974, and residents are not allowed to have pets in this complex.

Others buildings showing sales of Lido Key condos under $800,000 in the last six months are: Lido Dorset, Lido Harbor Towers, Lido Shores, Lido Regency, Lido Surf & Sand, and Harbor Towers. For detailed sales data, please send us an email.

If your budget allows more than $1 million, wonderful views await you at condos on Lido Key at Ritz Beach Residences and Orchid Beach Club. These are the two newest buildings on the Key offering outstanding amenities as well as luxurious surroundings.

Lido Key has a European flavor, residents enjoy luxury condo life, long beach walks, relaxing on their balconies overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, and of course, all the amenities of St. Armands Circle! Experiencing a sensational Lido Key sunset is an everyday event.

Our showing schedules remain brisk for Lido Key condos, but we also have seen an uptick in Sarasota golf course homes, country club communities as well as estate homes on Casey Key.

If you are planning a trip to view condos on Lido Key, please call us well in advance to be added to our showing schedule.
