Walk downtown, the bayfront or Selby Gardens. Ride your bike to the Legacy Trail or the beaches. Launch a kayak into the Hudson Bayou steps from your home. Make no mistake–if you have an active lifestyle and like a good bargain, Central Park II is the place for you. Cross the street into the ‘official’ downtown core, and the prices goes up by a third. This is one of the most popular communities in Sarasota, now ranked as the fifth best city in which to live, nationwide, according to US News &World Report. This particular condo is a corner unit that includes a side-window and a wood-burning fireplace. One of the two lanais has been equipped with windows–so the space can be converted into an office. Other upgrades exist throughout the unit, from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Also steps from the tennis court, swimming pool, hot tub and fitness room. Bike and kayak sheds are across the campus. Easy to rent. Great investment. VERY IMPORTANT: This unit faces the courtyard (grass, pond, pool, court, etc.) rather than noisy US 41. Huge difference.
