Overview

Living in Punta Gorda

Punta Gorda is a charming waterfront city where the Peace River meets Charlotte Harbor. It was settled in 1882, incorporated in 1887 and is the county seat of Charlotte County. About 19,500 people live here. The city has a historic downtown with brick streets, local restaurants and ten sites on the National Register of Historic Places.

The waterfront is the heart of daily life. The 2.4-mile Harborwalk runs along the harbor from downtown to Fishermen’s Village, passing parks, playgrounds and a pier. Fishermen’s Village offers shops, restaurants and a marina. Boaters enjoy easy access to Charlotte Harbor and the Gulf, and tarpon fishing is a big draw each spring and summer.

Punta Gorda Isles was created in 1959 with about 55 miles of canals, giving many homes a private dock with harbor access. Other popular areas include Burnt Store Isles and downtown townhomes. Recent median sale prices have been in the low $300s, with waterfront homes reaching $2.5M and up. Buyers like the small-town pace and the strong boating lifestyle.
