North Port

For those who enjoy exploring a new, up and coming Florida community, the City of North Port – incorporated just 50 years ago, is located along Southwest Florida’s premiere coastline in Sarasota County between Tampa and Fort Myers. This Southwest Florida city, known for its youthful mind-set and unique natural environment, is tucked beneath a thick oak and pine canopy – rich with archaeological history, beautiful natural springs, and more than 95 miles of freshwater canals. As the fourth largest city in land mass in the state, North Port offers a rare opportunity to explore Southwest Florida’s lush natural canopy. FUN FACT: North Port is the only city in Florida that contains a state forest – the 8,000 acre Myakka State Forest. The pristine, undeveloped Myakka State Forest and “world famous” natural springs are just a few of the hidden treasures to be found. Warm Mineral Springs, which remains an 85 degree temperature year round, has one of the highest mineral contents in the world. While North Port is slightly inland, residents can still enjoy the beach life. Some of the best state beaches are within a short drive. The City of North Port gives avid boaters and fishing enthusiasts direct access to Charlotte Harbor and Boca Grande Pass, the world’s top tarpon fishing spot. North Port is well known for its country lifestyle and excellent year round climate while offering vibrant parks and a recreation division that provides year round family events and activities for all ages. In North Port, it is natural to feel vital and potential is unlimited. This city is one worth exploring.
