Originally platted in the 1920s during one of Sarasota’s earliest real estate booms, DeSota Park was then considered the city’s outer boundary—an up-and-coming destination for a range of homeowners, from working families to retirees. When the real estate market faltered in 1926, Sarasota’s ambitious city limits were reined in, but DeSota Park remained, steadily growing into the established neighborhood it is today. Stroll through the flower streets, and you’ll see an eclectic mix of lovingly preserved historic homes and thoughtfully modernized properties—a testament to the neighborhood’s enduring appeal.
