Leeward Key Condos for Sale

About Leeward Key

Leeward Key is one tower and the county roll makes its shape easy to read. Seventy residences sit in a single identifier series at 2936 Scenic Gulf Drive: four numbered on a first level and exactly six repeating on every level from the second to the twelfth. The parcels covering them measure roughly 96 feet north to south by 137 feet east to west, so this is a tall and narrow building rather than a spread out one, and the six residences on any given level are the whole of that level. The owners association holds one common parcel that the roll draws in two separate pieces and returns twice. One piece wraps the tower. The other lies on the far side of Scenic Gulf Drive and runs down to where the assessed land ends, with no owner recorded past it. A second association parcel, a sliver about 154 feet east to west and 10 feet north to south, sits north of the tower and is easy to confuse with the returned-twice one, which is how an earlier version of this page came to describe one parcel as two. Do not read the roll's land area figure for the two-piece parcel as the size of both pieces: it is close to the area of the seaward piece alone, and the ground the county draws under that one parcel number is several times larger. That is where the frontage is. Not one residence parcel touches the shore, and about 390 feet of the association's own ground lies between the tower and it. Measured across the whole of each parcel rather than at one point inside it, the seventy residence parcels lie entirely in the area of minimal flood hazard with no special flood hazard ground on any of them; across the road the association's ground falls in the coastal high hazard class instead, 15 feet at its outer edge and 12 feet inland. The county maps this ground in its Coastal Center district, adopted by ordinance in 2018, and the height rule it publishes for this planning area reads 50 feet, a figure a twelve level building plainly predates, so any question about rebuilding to the existing height belongs with the county rather than with a listing.
