Port Charlotte is a great Florida real estate option that’s perfect for those seeking a smaller town feel, set among nature with 160+ miles of waterways. Yet, the town is just a short drive from stunning Gulf of Mexico beaches and centrally located between major cities of Sarasota and Fort Myers.

Those moving to Port Charlotte are attracted to the relaxed atmosphere with a mix of both older homes as well as new construction homes. There are some master-planned communities here as well that are full of amenities, or you may choose to live on the water where you can park your boat behind your home!

Just over the bridge across the Peace River is the charming town of Punta Gorda, with its historic areas, Fisherman’s Village and weekly farmer’s markets and events. Plus, the highly anticipated Sunseeker Resort just opened in Port Charlotte – offering entertainment for locals and visitors to the area.
