Lido Shores Real Estate in Sarasota, FL

Lido Shores homes for sale sit on land John Ringling had zoned for single-family residences well before condominium towers took over much of Lido Key. Starting around 1940, a group of architects began building mid-century modern homes here, cypress wood walls, deep roof overhangs, vaulted ceilings, and oversized windows and sliding glass doors, all designed to work with Florida’s climate rather than fight it. Roughly 116 homes make up the neighborhood, built between 1947 and 2009, sizes running from 1,100 up past 9,000 square feet.

The private beach here is deeded to the mean high tide line, and homes along New Pass get direct boat access, though larger vessels do better on the bay side. Lido Shores sits between St. Armands Circle and Longboat Key on the island, so you’re minutes from boutique shopping and dining in one direction and quiet island roads in the other.
