If one is looking to make a good/great investment in a
home then wouldn't it be better to buy in neighborhoods
that would eventually be considered Classic/Historic?

What neighborhoods in Sarasota stand a chance
on becoming the "new" South Gate?

What are the most pronounced features/attributes that
make South Gate/ a South Gate home so desirable?

Would it be correct to assume that in about 100 years
there will be about a couple dozen of "South Gate" sized &
type neighborhoods? Would the rest of the non-South Gate
type homes be purchased by developers for golf courses, etc?


Roughly how may homes comprise the area of South Gate?

What Sarasota neighborhoods currently have a similar number
of homes and have a similar "South Gate" feel yet need further
enhancement of the area they are in?

Like Southgate type neighborhoods to invest in.

Realtors would probably better know on how to
answer which neighborhoods will eventually be
Southgate-ish.

Just curious--did Southgate ever go through a run down period? Or has it always been well maintained?

You're asking about 100 year from now, so I guess you're planning on leaving the property to your kids- otherwise wouldn't you really want to know what would happen in the next 20 years or so. Or are you planning on cryogenics?

Actually, back about 6 - 7 years ago there were a number of homes in foreclosure in the South Gate area and some of those were obvious because of the neglect of both the homes and the lawns. Investors bought a lot of the distress properties for fix and flips, although there are those that bought them for long term investments so are renting out the homes.



South Gate is an actual neighborhood with some deed restrictions (basically 1 page) established in 1956 and if you pay the modest annual membership dues plus just under $100 extra per year you can use the community pool located on the Tuttle roundabout just south of Webber. The community web site is: South Gate Community Association but they do not keep it updated.

However, many call that general area from Shade east to Lockwood, south of Bahia Vista and north of Bee Ridge "South Gate," grouping in other tiny neighborhoods in the area. These include a number of small neighborhoods such as Hyde Park, Cottages in the Pines, South Side Park, Loma Linda Park, Battle & Turner and Rustic Lodge, etc.

Some of the general South Gate area neighborhoods are located within the city limits, others are located within the county. Not all homes in this area are hooked up to central sewer yet, although it is available. Some homes on streets within the city limits, by Arlington Park, are located within flood zones. Although South Gate proper does have deed restrictions, the other nearby neighborhoods do not - so property standards for those homes will be the minimal property standards enforced by either the city or county, depending on location.

South Gate is popular for a variety of reasons, with location topping the list. It's a short drive from downtown Sarasota and the north bridge to Siesta Key, close to a major shopping center, close to a city park (Arlington). The school districts are well rated. Location, school districts are always a key factor for home buyers.

Arlington Park, Hyde Park, and South Gate are all neighborhoods that would have a range of housing in your price range.

I am a little confused. I get that people lump multiple neighborhoods together, but what are the actual boundaries of the actual South Gate neighborhood?

Is South Gate considered a classic/historic neighborhood, more so than something like Gulf Gate? Or more so than some of the neighborhoods by the bay north of downtown? This house was featured in the Trib today, and I would consider it to be pretty classic/historic.

If you listen to all of the experts in weather nothing in SW Florida will be worth anything with the rising sea level in 100 years.

100 years?
Your grandchildren's children may enjoy the house, if it's still standing, or not underwater.
