Our History
Westlake Estates is a suburban community of Sarasota located on the northern edge of Gulf Gate Estates. It is west of South Beneva Road where it is accessible via Fox Run Road that loops around the community’s western section. The nature park Red Bug Slough Preserve is adjacent of Westlake Estates’ northern border,
Like many of the residential neighborhoods in this part of Sarasota, the acreage of Westlake Estates was a former orange grove. Some of the fruit trees still remain as well as the Australian Pines planted as wind buffer and frost protection of the groves in winter months. These grove remnants provide a refreshing environment for Westlake Estates
