Paddocks Homes for Sale – Sarasota, Florida 34240

Paddocks is a large residential development in east Sarasota. Its acreage clings on the southeastern end of Fruitville to the south of Porter Road and east of Interstate 75, a locality host to some prime selections of Sarasota real estate properties.

Paddocks was originally planned in the early 1980s as an equestrian community (hence its name). This plan would have followed the tracks of two other vast properties developed earlier also east of the interstate but a bit to the north—Fox Creek Acres and Pine Valley Ranches.

The original plan for Paddocks, however, did not pan out when its development eventually began in the 1990s. Instead, its parcel was subdivided into the sister neighborhoods of Paddocks North, West, East, and Central.
