South Gate Homes For Sale | Sarasota, FL

South Gate Real Estate in Sarasota, FL

South Gate homes for sale were originally built in the mid-1950s. Previous to that period of development, the existing citrus groves were being worked by Minute Maid. It is an interesting fact that some of the original citrus trees still thrive in the back yards of some South Gate homes. The South Gate Community Center was designed by architect Victor Lundy, a member of the Sarasota School of Architecture. The building has actually been recognized as an Historic Structure by Sarasota County.
