A half-hearted search for real estate in Florida can become an avid pursuit for home buyers and investors who come across purchase opportunities in the Serenoa Golf Club community. A stable performer in the Sarasota real estate market, this Sarasota Golf Club and residential community has been around since the early 1990s. Serenoa certainly is a masterful integration of a residential neighborhood built around a golf course and various other complementary community amenities.
The Serenoa real estate development has thrived over the years mainly because of its central location which is near-by a major highway, Interstate 75, and conveniently linked to the arterial Clark Road east of I-75. This places the golf community very close to the shops, restaurants, and entertainment districts of Sarasota as well as its centers for arts and culture. It likewise enjoys proximity to the fabulous Gulf Coast beach resorts, particularly those at Siesta Key which are a 15 minute drive away.
The Serenoa Golf Club, also near Twin Lakes Park, itself exudes a resort-style ambiance with the splendid scenery of woodlands, lakes, and marshlands within the golf enclave. This pristine environment is further enriched by the presence of birds drawn by the hospitable wildlife habitat that was created within the complex.
Hospitality takes onto an even higher level at Serenoa's clubhouse, a 17,000-square-foot facility with chic and spacious areas for dining. It has a 5,000-square-foot banquet room suited for large social functions, plus a 1,800-square-foot roofed deck which serves as a lakeside dining area.
