Venice Gardens Venice FL Homes for Sale in a Great Location

Recent news headlines around Venice indicate that this coastal city has been riding a wave of growth and prosperity in recent years, but this is hardly a recent phenomenon. Economists will tell you that the Venice housing market underwent significant expansion in the 1950s, a time when many World War II veterans settled with their families in Englewood and southwest Venice.

Development of Venice Gardens Venice Florida dates back to the 1950s. The VA had been issuing mortgage loans for almost a decade when the first few lots were platted, and developers introduced the Florida-ranch style home model for the purpose of welcoming veterans and their families into their new homes. Unlike other residential projects around the state from that time, the topography of Venice Gardens did not allow for construction of tract housing; the numerous lakes, creeks, and wetlands called for a greater diversity of construction, which in turn prevented a cookie cutter effect.

Venice Gardens is more than just an Old Florida neighborhood; it is an entire suburban district that feels like a gated community; there is even a recreation center complete with a swimming pool, a playground, small park, and clubhouse. The grounds surrounding a few lakes and ponds are maintained through reasonable HOA fees, and this allows residents to enjoy picnics by the water. The location of Venice Gardens is perfect for active families who wish to live close to the beach, city parks, and golf courses; plus, the nearby shopping strip on the Tamiami Trail gives you access to convenient stores such as Lowe’s, Winn Dixie, Office Depot, and many others. Caspersen Beach is less than 10 minutes away, and you also have the option of driving a few more minutes to the south and enjoy the more pristine Manasota Key Beach.

Pricing in Venice Gardens can be as low as $355K for a Florida ranch with three bedrooms, but listings can vary according to extras such as covered swimming pools. Proximity to the Pelican Pointe Golf Course and the Tamiami Trail can also be a pricing factor. Latest pricing at Venice Gardens Venice Florida will be found below if there is inventory.
