The market for south Sarasota Fl real estate is made richer by properties like Hidden Bay in Osprey. This community is a condominium neighborhood composed of low-rise buildings located next to the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) and just off Tamiami Trail. Both serve as a fulcrum to numerous points of interest not only in Sarasota but also in neighboring southwest Florida areas.

Typically, the Hidden Bay residences that can found among Sarasota condos for sale are those that were built in 1997. Distinctive in their metal roofs and Key West architectural style, the condominium buildings were constructed facing an expansive lagoon with a fountain and section that is lush with mangroves. A walkway with a fishing pier was constructed at this mangroves area. Tropical palms and greenbelt areas further contribute to the community’s iconic Florida setting.

The charm of this tropics-inspired environment extends to the condos’ interiors. Choice Hidden Bay condos for sale feature floors of either bamboo slat design or wide wooden planks. The spacious lanais and open decks in these units allow full enjoyment of the awe-inspiring vistas at the ICW especially during sunset. The verdant and well-maintained landscaping around the residences adds to these wonderful features much-sought among Sarasota real estate for sale.
