Surrounded by the emerald waters of Sarasota Bay, Bird Key is a single-family hcommunity of omes. Once the province of Northern retirees, its quiet streets and striking vistas of Sarasota Bay and the city skyline have drawn younger residents in recent years, including some celebrities.  Today, many of the 1950s style homes are being renovated or rebuilt, among them some of the biggest, most extravagant homes in town. 

 
Residents of Bird Key appreciate privacy and security of single-family homes with close proximity to world-class shopping at St. Armands Circle.  Developed in the 1950's by Arvida, the island is a boater's paradise, with many of its homes situated directly on the bay or on deep-water canals. Bird Key also boasts its own prestigious yacht club.
