Additionally Fort Myers to the south is just a little farther so it puts you in the center of reaching both within an hour and both have airports. PC also has an airport, a fairly new one. I lived on Siesta Key but it got way to overcrowded so we moved to Port Charlotte before coming here. I miss the boating and sand but hopefully the activities here will make up for that. Eg. You can get a 2400-2700 sf home, on canal, with pool, trey ceilings, granite, all tile for $250...older ones are less. Their market had not yet totally recovered.

Agree. We lived in The Riverwood Golf Club in Port Charlotte. Punta Gorda and the Charlotte Harbor just south, Englewood to the west, and Venice just north. Siesta Key Beach about 45 min. north but is getting a bit crowded. Hurricanes and cost of insurance in flood zones near the coast was part of our decision to move 9 years ago. The other was The Villages.
