Sarasota Affordable Waterfront Boating Communities

The term Sarasota waterfront real estate conjures up thoughts of multi-millionaires or maybe "lifestyles of the rich and famous".

But there are Sarasota county real estate options for everyman, in quiet, tucked away communities that seem to have escaped notice.

In South Sarasota is the enclave colorfully named "Tropical Shores". The community of homes is located directly on boating water, and even has a resident boat dock and slips. The clubhouse is situated directly on the scenic waterway. All homes in the subdivision are walking distance to boating and fishing. And yet homes in this neighborhood currently range between $200,000 and $350,000,with the exception of a newly updated direct waterfront home with two boat docks.

Just south of Sarasota is Venice, and South Venice is another community located directly on the Intracoastal. With a boat ramp available to residents for only $75 per year; and non-deed restricted homes allow for boat parking on your property. Homes start less than $100,000 if you dont mind a little fixing up- and there are 175 homes under $200,000!

If you crave the boating lifestyle, these communities provide an excellent opportunity to purchase your little getaway for a steal!
