North Port: An Up-and-Coming Community

North Port may have been known by the longer name “North Port Charlotte” had it not been for its dedicated residents, retirees, and a 1974 consensus. The more trendy and unique “North Port” moniker better fits this town, which is known for its local arts and refreshing mineral springs.

This city offers what many home buyers are searching for: plenty of outdoor amenities, rich arts and culture, community activities, and annual events. Discover why North Port may be the community of your dreams.

Recreation

North Port is known for its natural beauty and outdoor amenities. Many subdivisions are filled with sturdy oak trees, majestic pine trees, and beautiful palm trees. The city's 80 miles of canals and 9 miles of Myakkahatchee Creek are ideal for exploring. In addition, North Port is the only Florida city that is home to an entire state forest. It's no wonder that the city's most popular activities — kayaking, boating, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and mountain biking — take place outdoors.

Communities

North Port is located in southern Sarasota County and just north of Port Charlotte. When it was first developed in the 1950s, North Port was a remote area, filled with cattle land and pine trees. Today, it's a rapidly growing community of more than 62,000 residents in an area covering more than 100 square miles.
