GeorgeTowne Subdivision

Is a single-family oriented neighborhood of working families, part-time and year-round retirees and offers safe and quiet living in a super convenient location. It is where neighbors care about each other and on any given day, you will find neighbors walking their dogs, taking their babies for a stroll, and children playing in their yards. You will find neighbors having a friendly visit in this family and pet friendly neighborhood.

Georgetowne was first developed in 1979 and finished out in 1986. Most of the 182 mid-size residences are some version of the Florida Ranch-style houses popular at the time, solidly built with concrete block, stucco exteriors and shingle roofs. But many have been renovated on the inside to create open floor plans, with kitchens overlooking the living areas along with patios and pools.

There are two entrances, one on Honore Avenue half a mile north of Fruitville Road, the other on 17th Street just west of Honore. Both have divided lane with attractively landscaped center islands. The interior road names are a combination of “Georgetowne” and Lane, Drive, Boulevard, Place or Circle. Some dead-end in small, round cul-de sacs. More than 20 homes lie on the large lake at the southern edge of the neighborhood and those homes share ownership of the lake.

Vegetation is mature, with large oaks, Norfolk pines, palms, bamboo trees and slash pine trees providing shade. The yards are well-kept, reflecting pride of ownership throughout the neighborhood.

The community is super convenient to Fruitville Park with baseball and soccer fields within walking distance. The much larger 17th Street Park with softball fields, soccer fields and a paw park for dogs is just next door to the west. An array of shopping on Fruitville Road to the south and University Town Center (UTC) is 10 minutes away to the north. Fruitville Road east will take you to I-75 and west to downtown Sarasota and the Gulf of Mexico is only 20-30 minutes away.

The Georgetowne Subdivision Home Owners Association, Inc. board is active in seeing that the community thrives and resident participation in the community is strongly encouraged.
