The Bay Plaza Condominium is a property near the waterfront of Sarasota in southwestern Florida. More than the splendid Gulf Coast views that it affords, this community is nestled amid all the urban amenities and conveniences that the city has to offer. It also enjoys proximity to the many arts and cultural attractions that have turned Sarasota into a major US tourist destination.
The condominium complex is located at 1282 North Palm Avenue near the junction of two major Sarasota thoroughfares, Bayfront Drive and the North Tamiami Trail. A high-rise, the condo was built in 1982 but the property remains quite competitive versus newer Sarasota real estate developments. Most of the units here have been redeveloped to keep up with the needs and preferences of discriminating home buyers and condo investors.
The floor areas of Bay Plaza come in varying sizes and designs to fit specific owner requirements. Home sizes here range from 1,050 to 4,650 square feet. A residence with a floor area of about 1,600 square feet, two bedrooms and two bathrooms can be sales-listed in the mid- $200s. The asking price hits the $1-million level for units having floor plans of close to 3,500 square feet.
Ample amenities are available to the condo residents. Among these are a heated swimming pool and a well-equipped gym. Concierge services and valet parking are likewise available.
A slew of fine restaurants and bars are around the condominium complex. These include Ceviche Tapas Bar & Restaurant, Like in France, Café Epicure, Bijou Café, and Tropical Thai. These outstanding choices are echoed by several nearby venues extolling the arts and providing entertainment, like the Sarasota Opera House and the Florida Studio Theater.
Just across Bayfront Blvd. is another major point of interest in Sarasota, the Island Park and its Marina Jack trail with a complete loop ideal for strolls and sightseeing. Also within the area is the charming O’Leary Tiki Bar and Grill and the Enticer Water Sports, a rental shop for boats and skis among other equipment and services for water-based sports activities.
The convenience in shopping isn’t only limited to the Whole Foods Market and the LUBE of Sarasota a few blocks from the Bay Plaza. The North Gulf Stream Avenue where the condo is located links with the John Ringling Causeway, thus making for short and easy trips to the St. Armands Circle. Over 130 shops are located here along with superb venues for dining and entertainment that further enrich the condo lifestyle in Sarasota City.
