Doctor Beach has ranked Siesta Key as #1 in the USA!! 5302 Cape Leyte in Siesta Isles subdivision, just a 10-minute walk to the public beach, is now under contract listed at $611,000, no pool, sold to Canadian investors. For homes off Siesta Key but near the beach, consider Gulf Gate, only a five-minute drive to Siesta Key.
Gulf Gate subdivision has mostly 2-bedroom block homes built in the early 1960’s. The average price is $250,000 without a pool, for 1,556 sq. ft. One-third of the recent sales were cash.
Gulf Gate Woods is ten years newer, built in the early 1970’s with mostly 3-bedroom block homes; homes sell for an average of $312,000 (half had pools) for 1,800 square feet. More people are financing homes in Gulf Gate Woods since it’s more costly than Gulf Gate subdivision; only one-fourth of the recent sales were cash.
Ready for an adventure? Visit Crowley Nursery, east of I-75 at the end of Fruitville Road. You’ll want to put this in your GPS because the last two miles are on two dirt roads. It’s so fun, you’ll pass several horse farms and I recommend that you stop and get some farm fresh eggs, herbs, and local honey; just watch for the signs. Crowley Nursery is a five-acre master gardener’s dream with hundreds of varieties of tropical plants. I left with several flowering, fragrant plants for my lanai, about half the price of Home Depot or Walmart. Mrs. Crowley is an organic gardener; this is country and they have a very clean out house for customers. J
