Forest Lakes is a low-rise, garden-style condominium community in Sarasota built in 1964 and mostly two stories tall. The complex is composed of horizontally arranged low blocks set around landscaped courtyards and a central community pool. Units are predominantly two-bedroom, two-bath residences with layouts that commonly pair an eat-in kitchen with an open living/dining area and an additional family or Florida room that opens to a screened lanai or balcony. Interiors typically include solid-surface counters, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, window treatments and laminate or wood-look flooring in many renovated units. Exterior features emphasize outdoor living and ease: private screened patios or lanais facing greenbelts, sliding doors, exterior storage, irrigation, sidewalk networks, and assigned carport parking with guest spaces nearby. On-site laundry buildings, shared trash removal, water and roof maintenance are handled by the association; cable is included in fees. The community rules commonly restrict rentals and are not age-restricted. Location advantages include proximity to UTC and Southgate shopping, dining, public transportation, short drives to downtown Sarasota and Siesta Key beaches, and nearby schools and recreational options.
