North Port Florida Real Estate

A relatively new community incorporated in 1959, North Port has recently expanded from its original 76 square miles to 103 square miles in area to accommodate new growth. Residential and commercial developments are both on the rise in this well-balanced and attractive community.  Once considered a comfortable haven for retirees, the city has been attracting an increasing number of families in recent years.  One of the primary factors in this change in demographics is the area's excellent school system.  Newcomers are also drawn to the bright sunshine and comfortable weather conditions that create such a relaxed and leisurely style of living around the four seasons.  Many homeowners in North Port, even novice gardeners, showcase lush lawns graced by bright flower beds and artful landscaping.  The many canals and lakes make this an ideal location for anglers and boating or water-sport enthusiasts.
