Longboat Key Outdoor Living

The Pinnacle of Gulf Coast Outdoor Living Design

Longboat Key represents the apex of the Sarasota-Manatee luxury real estate market. With median home values among the highest in Florida and a buyer demographic that includes ultra-high-net-worth primary residents, second-home owners, and discerning investors — the standard for outdoor living design on Longboat Key is simply higher than anywhere else in the region. Buyers at the $2M–$15M+ price point don't compare outdoor spaces — they compare estates, and outdoor living is a core estate element.

Longboat Key's dual-county position (spanning Sarasota and Manatee counties) and Town of Longboat Key's independent permitting authority create a unique regulatory landscape. Our contractor partners hold active relationships with the Town of LBK building department, understand Longboat Key's specific coastal setback requirements, and have coordinated numerous FEMA flood zone projects on the island — ensuring every outdoor living project is permitted correctly and built to the exacting standards Longboat Key demands.

From the north end Country Club communities to mid-key Gulf-front estates to the south end Sarasota Bay properties — SunWest coordinates outdoor living installations on Longboat Key that match the prestige and quality of the island itself.
