Gulf Gate including Gulf Gate East, Gulf Gate Gardens, Gulf Gate Manor, Gulf Gate Woods and Gulf Gate Pines.

Gulf Gate is one of Sarasota’s most well known, lightly deed-restricted communities, located in south Sarasota within the 34231 zip code.  The south of Clark Road location combined with affordable well built concrete block homes cannot be beat.  Gulf Gate Drive is the main drive and is a divided palm tree lined street that meanders east and west between Beneva Road and Tamiami Trail.  The quiet, well-maintained streets are lined with miles of lighted sidewalks.  You will often see folks out in the evening for an after dinner walk or a bike ride.   There are 1,562 single-family homes and these owners love the location.  It is just a quick 10 minute drive over the south Siesta Key bridge to the #1 ranked Siesta Key Beach and you just can’t get any closer to shopping for every need and service. 

Gulf Gate also has a semi-private golf course that is located at 2550 Bispham Rd. The course opened in 1965 and has an open guest  policy.  Players that reviewed the course say that play can be a surprisingly tough par 57 course.  There are two courses; an 18-hole 2,311 yard course and a 9 hole executive course.  You do not have to join the club to be a resident.
