Local Insight
This 1972 waterfront unit sits in an AE flood zone, which means flood insurance will be a significant ongoing cost that you need to factor into your true ownership expenses—definitely get quotes before committing. At $543/sqft for a property this age, you're paying a waterfront premium, but the no-HOA structure is a real advantage compared to most Longboat Key condos, giving you more control and potentially lower monthly costs. The 0.88-acre lot is generous for a condo, but given the age and flood positioning, budget for potential foundation or structural surprises during inspection.
