South Gate Real Estate in Sarasota, FL
South Gate homes for sale sit on land that was once a Sunkist orange grove, construction starting in 1951 and continuing through the 2000s, now a well-established central Sarasota neighborhood of over 2,200 homes. Some backyards still hold original citrus trees from the grove era, sizes ranging from under 1,000 to over 4,000 square feet across mostly single-story mid-century ranch homes, many renovated over the years.
No mandatory HOA governs South Gate; the voluntary Community Association maintains a historic community center and pool on Phillippi Creek, designed by Sarasota School architect Victor Lundy and recognized as a historic structure by the county. Membership stays inexpensive and optional. You’re minutes from Siesta Key Beach, South Gate Mall, and downtown Sarasota, with Southside Elementary, Brookside Middle, and Sarasota High serving the area.
