Small town charm in a beautiful tropical setting! Punta Gorda is
a charming and historic waterfront town. It is the county seat
and the only incorporated city in Charlotte County. Over 100 years old, Punta Gorda features a quaint downtown with
cobblestone streets
and gas street lamps, with a 19th century
Spanish charm. The city has acquired a State Historic District
status, but Punta Gorda has more than history to draw visitors
and new residents. The city's economy ranks highest in the
country, with a projected job growth rate of 16.3% between now
and 2004.. The population of Punta Gorda is approximately
14,326.
The city consists of two parts, the original historic district
with its old quaint homes and shops, and the newer real estate subdivisions
of Punta Gorda Isles, Burnt Store Isles real estate, and
Punta Gorda's Seminole Lakes.
Most of the Real Estate subdivisions are located on a network of deep salt
water canals, providing sail and power boat owners quick and
easy access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf of Mexico. These
are deed restricted communities with city water and sewers,
paved streets, as well as power, cable, and telephone service.
The canal lots all have concrete sea walls maintained by the
city. Residential improvements

very upscale and are tightly
controlled by the Punta Gorda building commission. The vast amount of the
land is zoned for single family residences with appropriately
sized and placed small areas
zoned for duplex or low rise condominiums. There are many shopping centers in the area, the most famous of
which is Fisherman's Village and
Marina with its upscale shops
and restaurants. Fisherman's Village is located right on the harbor for
either land or sea access. The community is noted as one of the
top art centers in Southwest Florida.
The Charlotte county Visual Arts Center is located in Punta Gorda adjacent to Fisherman's Village. Housing options in Punta Gorda real estate include the waterfront homes of Punta Gorda Isles, the exclusive community of Burnt Store Marina
Country Club, and a vast selection of newer and historic homes,
