Sue and I have had extended visits at Buckingham Club over the past few years. We have always found the residents to be very friendly and treated us as though we were one of them. The park offers a heated pool, great location near Stickney Point Rd and S. Tamiami Trail just 2.4 miles from Siesta Key Beach. It is a 55 and older community of just over 100 affordable manufactured housing units.
Recently the park underwent a change in ownership. The new owner and his family held a meeting with the home owners. We were privileged to be allowed to attend. At that meeting the new owner outlined the many new upgrades to the property that would occur in the coming months. I thought he was honest and forthright in presenting information and answering questions. Through his action he has shown the residents he is a man of his word. Painting all common buildings, on site management available 24/7 and Improvements in the landscape in just a few months.

While driving thru, again, the absolute perfect home had just gone on the market. Long story short, we purchased in April 2021, came back down in June to get home winter ready(đ¤Ł) and finally got here in October and have been loving it ever since! The managers of the park, Sandy & Mike Hanes are fantastic in every way. Mike (& Tom)keep the park in spotless condition & Sandy is so full of personality you just can't help but love her. The people we have met are so nice, plenty of activities, the pool is amazing, a great clubhouse for our social activities & a brand new bocce ball court. Oh, did I forget to mention that it's only about 3.5 miles to the #1 beach in America; Siesta Key. So giving Buckingham Club a 5- star rating just doesn't seem good enough, We'll give it a 10!!
