Long Beach sits at the historic northern tip of Longboat Key, where the streets feel less manicured and more lived-in than the resort stretches to the south. This is a walkable, water-close pocket of the island, with neighboring enclaves like Sleepy Lagoon, Emerald Harbor, and boater-friendly Dream Island shaping the character — a mix of cottages, canal-front homes, and Gulf access that draws people who want the island without the polish.
For a buyer today, this is a small, deliberate market: just 11 active listings with a median list price of $1,449,000 and asking prices running from $699,000 to $2,695,000. Homes take their time here — a median of 139 days on market — and over the last year 25 homes sold at a median of $900,000, with sellers netting about 91% of asking. That gap between list and sold price tells you there's real room to negotiate if you come prepared.
Long Beach is a community in Longboat Key, Florida.

Long Beach FAQs
Is Long Beach a good place to live?+
It suits buyers who want the older, walkable character of Longboat Key's north end over the resort feel to the south. You're near boating-focused enclaves like Dream Island and Gulf access, and assigned schools include Anna Maria Elementary, Martha B. King Middle, and Bayshore High. It's a quieter, established pocket of the island.
Is Long Beach expensive?+
Yes — this is island pricing, with a median list price of $1,449,000 and seven of the 11 active listings priced above $1 million. The average price per square foot runs $740, which is steep given the median home size of 1,761 square feet. Entry points do exist, though, with active asking prices starting around $699,000.
What do homes cost in Long Beach?+
Active listings range from $699,000 to $2,695,000 with a median list of $1,449,000. What's actually closing tells a more grounded story: 25 homes sold over the past year at a median of $900,000. The waterfront and pool homes tend to anchor the top of that range.
How is the market in Long Beach right now?+
It's a slow, patient market with just 11 homes for sale and a median of 139 days on market. Sellers are averaging 91% of their asking price, so buyers who negotiate carefully have leverage. With only 25 sales in the past year, this is a low-inventory, low-turnover neighborhood.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $467 per month, and median property taxes land near $9,600 per year. Costs vary by community — some of the Longboat Key enclaves carry different fee structures depending on amenities and waterfront access. Budget for both when comparing homes here.
