5174 Northridge Rd

A low-rise, garden-style condominium community built in 1999 across three stories and located in Sarasota’s Palmer Ranch area. Buildings are arranged around landscaped courtyards and resort-like circulation paths; units are primarily one-bedroom floorplans with features such as vaulted or cathedral ceilings, crown molding, open living/dining layouts, solid wood cabinetry, stone or solid-surface counters, walk-in closets and screened lanais or balconies. Exterior elements reflect Florida-oriented living: sliding doors to outdoor spaces, storage rooms, irrigation and exterior lighting, fenced property edges, and community amenities including tennis courts and outdoor grilling areas. Shared facilities emphasize recreation and convenience — two swimming pools and spas, a 24/7 fitness center, clubhouse and business/media rooms, playground and outdoor kitchens are commonly cited, and gated access with on-site management creates a controlled environment. Parking is handled via carports or detached garages (often available for an extra fee); some listings reference covered assigned spaces. The community is pet friendly, offers on-site laundry connections or in-unit hookups, and sits within walking distance to a Publix shopping center with quick access to I-75 and a short drive to Siesta Key, Legacy Trail and local dining, supporting both full-time residents and seasonal homeowners.
