        <title>Real Estate on Bird Key in Sarasota, Florida</title>
    <description> <![CDATA[ 
Bird Key is a Sarasota, Florida neighborhood rich in beauty, luxury, privacy, and history. In the early 1900s, Bird Key was purchased by Thomas Worcester of Cincinnati, Ohio. Worchester built the first expensive home on a Sarasota Bay island. In the 1920s, John Ringling of circus fame bought Bird Key and proceeded with the development of connecting Bird Key, Lido Key and St. Armands to mainland Sarasota. Arvida Corporation bought the Ringling properties and continued development of the 511 single family home sites. Today Bird Key real estate is among the most desirable in all of Sarasota.





Bird Key today is a beautiful boating community with just under 300 waterfront homes facing the bay or on interior canals. The remaining homes on Bird Key are not on the water and referred to as “garden homes.” You’ll find luxurious mansions on Bird Key, some “old Florida” style homes needing some “TLC” and possibly a refurbished beauty.


As a boating community, Bird Key is tops. The Bird Key Yacht Club is one of the most prestigious yachts clubs in Florida. The Club offers members an outstanding list of amenities as well as superior docking services with reciprocal agreements with other Yacht Clubs.
