Sarasota County, FL
Englewood
Overview
Englewood is a single community that spans the Sarasota-Charlotte county line, built along Lemon Bay with the barrier island of Manasota Key just offshore. It has kept a smaller-scale, less touristy feel than Venice or Siesta Key, centered on the shops and restaurants of historic Dearborn Street rather than a resort-style strip.
Housing includes beach homes and condominiums on Manasota Key, canal and bay-front properties on the mainland with direct access to Lemon Bay, and inland subdivisions further from the water. Because the community straddles two counties, it is worth confirming early whether a specific property falls in Sarasota or Charlotte County, since that affects taxes, schools, and permitting.
Legacy Real Estate Associates represents buyers and sellers throughout Englewood, working with the details particular to this split-county community, from flood zones on the key to the differences between county requirements on the mainland side.
Location
Englewood sits on Florida's Gulf Coast along Lemon Bay, with the community's mainland portion split between southern Sarasota County and northern Charlotte County. Manasota Key runs along the coast just offshore, connected to the mainland by bridge, with Venice and North Port a short drive north and Charlotte Harbor to the south.
