Local Insight
At $223/sqft, this 1993 condo is priced competitively for the Sarasota market, and the X flood zone (no flood insurance required) is a genuine advantage that keeps long-term costs down—worth verifying that water view doesn't come with drainage or moisture issues common to older units in this price range. The $315 monthly HOA is reasonable for a community amenity, but you'll want to review the reserve study since a 30-year-old building in Florida can have surprise special assessments for roof or foundation work. Location-wise, you're in an established neighborhood near solid public schools, though the square footage is modest, so this works best as a downsizer's move or investment play rather than a growing family purchase.
