1520 Gln Oaks Dr E

Glen Oaks Gardens is a low-rise condominium complex built in 1975 and spread across three stories. The community primarily offers two-bedroom layouts alongside one-bedroom variations adapted for 55+ occupancy. Architectural character is modest mid-1970s garden-style: low-density walkways, covered parking, screened lanais and balconies that overlook landscaped courtyards and a sizeable central pool. Interiors commonly feature open plans, eat-in kitchens, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, built-ins, crown molding and ceiling fans; many units have been updated over time with laminate or tile flooring, refreshed baths and modernized windows or storm doors. Common areas include a renovated clubhouse with a kitchen and gathering spaces, game and card rooms, a fitness room, sauna, laundry facilities and an activities program geared to an active older-adult population. Outdoors the site provides barbecue/picnic areas, shuffleboard and bocce courts, a dog run, irrigation and outdoor showers; assigned covered parking and private storage are typical. HOA fees often cover utilities such as water and cable and the association operates on-site management. Located centrally in Sarasota, the complex sits near public transit, shopping, dining, Bobby Jones Golf Course and is within easy driving distance of downtown arts destinations, airports and Gulf Coast beaches.
