Southgate is an older suburb of [[Sarasota, Florida|Sarasota]], built in the early 1960s. Many homes in Southgate feature more "retro" styling, and almost all are one story.  The neighborhood is well kept-up, however, and is quickly becoming a place where more wealthy families reside. Property values in Southgate have skyrocketed in the last few years, and its close proximity to downtown Sarasota, beaches, and shopping makes it a very desirable place to live.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.southgatenews.net/modules/wfchannel/|title=Welcome to South Gate - Bringing Our Community Together!|website=www.southgatenews.net|access-date=2019-06-14}}</ref>
