West of Trail
Sarasota's most coveted mainland luxury corridor
About West of Trail
West of Trail is the stretch of mainland Sarasota between US 41 and the bay, and the core of it is the city's original neighborhood fabric: oak canopy and brick-accented streets laid out a century ago, with housing that runs from 1920s bungalows to new modern builds, often side by side on the same block. Cherokee Park, McClellan Park and Harbor Acres carry the estate streets toward the water; Avondale and Granada keep the original cottage scale, and Granada's quiet courts off Osprey Avenue still hold some of the city's best surviving 1920s bungalows. The center of daily life is Southside Village, the shopping and dining district along S Osprey Avenue anchored by Morton's Gourmet Market. Residents enjoy the convenience to Southside Village gourmet grocery and boutique dining with the comforts of mainland living: real lots, mature trees, the historic Southside School, and Sarasota Memorial Hospital a few blocks away. The bayfront, downtown and the Siesta Key bridges are all minutes out, which is why West of Trail remains the first place mainland buyers look and the last place owners want to leave.
