Edit
Longboat Key is a narrow barrier island stretched between the Gulf of Mexico and Sarasota Bay, split between Manatee and Sarasota counties in west-central Florida. Incorporated in 1955, this small coastal town carries a quiet, polished character that sets it apart from the busier resort areas nearby. The pace here is genuinely relaxed, shaped by miles of white-sand Gulf shoreline, sheltered bay views, and dense mangrove estuaries along the eastern edge.
The island sits just offshore from both Bradenton and Sarasota, putting residents within easy reach of two well-rounded metro areas. Sarasota, in particular, draws people with its arts scene, dining corridors, and downtown energy. Longboat Key's own identity leans upscale and understated, with a layout that blends low-rise waterfront communities, gulf-front condominiums, and gated residential enclaves. Renters will find a mix of apartment communities featuring coastal architecture, open-air balconies, and water or garden views.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
