Local Insight
At $278/sqft for a waterfront unit built in 1984, you're paying a premium for the location and water views, but you'll want a thorough inspection since the building is 40 years old and older concrete structures in Sarasota often need significant work. The $315 monthly HOA is reasonable for a waterfront property, though verify what reserves are actually funded for—aging condo buildings can surprise owners with special assessments. Being in flood zone X is genuinely valuable here (lowest risk designation), so your insurance costs should stay manageable compared to nearby waterfront properties in higher zones.
