935 Linden Road, Venice
South Venice, Florida
One of the most popular neighborhoods in Venice for those who do not want to live on "the Island" nor in an HOA community, South Venice is a desirable area to buy a home. South Venice is only a short drive over the bridge to "the Island" and it is west of the Tamiami Trail, so the neighborhood technically hugs the coastline. In fact, there is even a private neighborhood beach here for those who choose the optional membership! There's also a kayak / canoe launch and a boat launch for the neighborhood as well as the beautiful Shamrock Park, which includes basketball and tennis courts, playground area, butterfly garden, nature center and a ton of walking and biking trails.
While the neighborhood was established decades ago, the whole area wasn't 100% developed. To this day there are still wooded lots for sale. And due to the slow building over the years, you can actually find homes here in a variety of styles spanning decades - from the 1970's, 1990's...and even new construction. There is no HOA here, but there is an optional association that residents may choose to join, which includes the beach access ferry, kayak and boat launch.
