Serenata is a low-rise, gated condominium community in Sarasota built in 2005 and organized around a landscaped lake with fountains. The complex is three stories tall and primarily offers one-bedroom residences with open floorplans, high or vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets and hurricane-resistant windows and sliders. Individual units commonly include features such as granite or stone-look counters, solid wood cabinetry, built-in shelving, screened lanais or balconies, in-unit laundry and interior finishes like crown molding and ceiling fans. The community emphasizes resort-style common areas: a heated pool and sundeck, clubhouse with media lounge, 24-hour fitness center, lighted tennis courts, picnic and grilling areas, walking paths around the lake and a dog run. Grounds are maturely landscaped with irrigation and exterior lighting; some buildings provide covered carports and gated access with card entry. Additional on-site conveniences often reported are storage on lanais, valet trash service and community Wi-Fi in clubhouse/pool areas. Located near University Parkway/University Town Center, Serenata places residents within minutes of shopping, dining, SRQ airport, I-75, downtown Sarasota and Gulf Coast beaches. The community is marketed as maintenance-free, pet-friendly (with restrictions) and oriented to leisure and active recreation rather than high-density urban living.
