Homes in south Sarasota have the best of both worlds, just south of beautiful Downtown Sarasota and just inland from Siesta Key - all of the location at a fraction of the price! Bee Ridge Road and Clark Road are the two major roads leading to Siesta Key and encompass the communities of Phillippi Landings, Oyster Bay Estates, Ridge Wood Heights, Pelican Cove, South Gate Ridge and Gulf Gate Estates.
Esplanade by Siesta Key is not on the island of Siesta Key and it's beaches but it is just inland, east of the Tamiami Trail and near Stickney Point Road which leads over to Siesta Key. This newer community started construction of paired villas and single family homes in 2013 and now is complete with 247 residences. The villas and homes run from 2-3 bedrooms and 2-3 baths from 1,856 to 2,842 square feet, built by Taylor Morrison. It is a gated community on over 75 acres. Like other Esplanade communities such as the one in Lakewood Ranch, it has upscale resort-style amenities such as the heated lagoon pool and spa, clubhouse with a fitness center & catering kitchen, outdoor grill and fire pit area. There are also sports courts for beach volley ball, tennis and bocce ball. It also has a dog park. The quarterly fees also include lawn maintenance for all homes and roof maintenance is included for the villas.
Homes in the Gulf Gate communities are just minutes from the beaches of Siesta Key but are priced at a fraction of the price that you will find for homes on the island. There are 3 communities of Gulf Gate, Gulf Gate Woods and Gulf Gate East. All have low HOA fees that maintain the lakes and landscaping at the entrances and are patrolled by a voluntary security patrol 24 hours a day. At this time, Gulf Gate East is the only community with deed restrictions. All are near shopping, movie theaters, the South County YMCA and the Gulf Gate Library. There are bike lanes along Gulf Gate Drive and the communities are also near the Legacy Trail which has over 10 miles of paved trails spanning from South Sarasota to Venice.
Homes in these communities were built from the 1960's to the 1980's with Gulf Gate East being the newest, built in the mid-1980's with home sizes from 1,100 - 3,600 square feet. The larger homes were built on the cul-de-sacs in the rear of the Gulf Gate East neighborhood with some lots as large as an acre. Many homes have been updated over the years and current prices range from the low $200,000's to the mid-to-high $500,000's.
Find your waterfront estate home in this community west of the Trail with homes overlooking Oyster Bay, Roberts Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The community also hosts the Field Club, tennis, yachting and social activities. Homes feature 3 - 6 bedrooms, 3 - 5 baths from the high $700,000's to over $5 million dollars, most with private pools. Ideally situated near the beaches of Siesta Key and minutes from downtown Sarasota with it's gourmet restaurants, museums and nightlife.

Lisa Salvato - 5 stars! John is fabulous! He listened to what we wanted and emailed us only properties that applied. We live in New York and were interested in purchasing a Florida property. Having never met him prior to our visit to view the key properties of interest, from his e-mails, we didn't know what to expect . We feel like we hit the jackpot, John was professional, courteous and went out of his way to show us condos in a spread-out area. We have now closed on that purchase. Thank-you John for being a great negotiator and knowledgeable in your field. Your follow-through beyond the closing is appreciated and impressive. Thank-you Leslie for your work in the background to follow-up with all of the condo documents. We have sold and purchased homes before and John is at the top! February 2018
Robert Theofel — Above and beyond! Every aspect of the home buying process from initial search to closing went without a hitch due to Leslie and John’s expertise. When searching for a home, we received recommendations that were within our search criteria and the team was always available to show the homes that we selected. The recommendations we received during the negotiating, buying and closing process were excellent and we were able to close within a month of the initial viewing of the property. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home!
Curt Johnson — My wife and I needed to sell our house, however there was much to do to get it ready. John and Leslie let us know how to fix-up the house to get the best possible response at the showings. We got it done and sold our house within 2 days of listing it with them. I think one of the best things I walked away with from the experience is how I felt trusting them with my home knowing that they had my best interest at hand. I would recommend John and Leslie to anyone who wants to be successful in selling or buying a home.
Jennifer Pearson — Leslie and John went above and beyond to help us sell our home! We had relocated 1900 miles away as we were trying to sell our house. They were in constant contact with us regarding the house and showings. They helped us find maintenance people when needed and even completed some things themselves. We would highly recommend them and should we return to the area, we will definitely use them to purchase a home!
Valerie Bologna — 5 stars! John helped my husband and I find a condo in Sarasota while we are living in another state. If there was something that we were interested in, he would go out right away and take pictures of the place and e-mail them to us. He never made us feel like we were wasting his time even though our purchase was not a million dollar listing! In a few years we will be calling on John again to find us a permanent place to live instead of seasonally. My husband and I appreciate all that he and his wife Leslie have done for us to make this purchase go as smooth as possible and we feel like we have gained new friends as well!
Victoria Harlow — 5 stars! Leslie went above and beyond with advice on staging, open houses, and cleaning and caring for my property while I was absent. Her teammate and husband John make a stellar team. I was so happy to get a great offer so close to my asking price. Awesome work! Thank-you for being vigilant and for the awesome care you took with selling my house. Your are the best that I've encountered after selling three houses over the years!
Edy Campos — 5 stars! - Can't get any better than John! He helped me all the way until the end, gives great advice, works fast, follows up and doesn't waste time. If you are serious about finding a place to call "home", I really recommend John Gregory!
Nancy Gallagher — If you're looking for a new home in Florida, John is a tireless agent to have on your side! If he doesn't know the answer to a question (which is rare) he will find it and in a timely manner! I highly recommend his services.
