Living in Lido Key & St. Armands
Lido Key and St. Armands Key sit just across the John Ringling Causeway from downtown Sarasota. St. Armands Circle, the shopping and dining ring laid out by John Ringling, is the heart of the area, and Lido Beach is a short walk away.
Homes range from walkable St. Armands residences to Gulf-front condominiums on Lido and waterfront homes on nearby Bird Key. It is one of the few places on the coast where you can walk to the beach, dinner and shops, then be downtown in five minutes.
