Punta Gorda Real Estate

Over the years I’ve traveled quite a bit, both in the United States and to other countries, and I’ve found some great vacation spots.  I think my most favorite would have to be Hiroshima, Japan.  The city itself is not extraordinary in a structural sense, but rather it is the way in which the city recovered after the atomic bomb disaster.  There is remarkable beauty and hardiness to the city and its people.  In addition, there are several scenic locations which are just as breathtaking as they were before the disaster.

Amongst my other favorites, I enjoyed Salt Lake City, Utah for the salt lake and just the general kindness of people in the town.  Toulouse, France is another favorite for its countryside.  For a tropical climate, Punta Gorda, Florida has golf, boating, and beautiful water, and I also like the structural characteristics of Punta Gorda homes.

In 2004 the western Florida coast was devastated by hurricane Charley.  I flew in to Florida to visit my mother and father about a day after the hurricane had been through.  My parents lived in Punta Gorda, and it was apparent that the town had been hit hard when I encountered a National Guard roadblock about fifteen minutes outside the town.  Though the damage to things like the gutters, street signs, and select buildings around the town was intense, my parent’s house had avoided all but cosmetic damage. 

Despite the imposing risk of hurricanes, the town as a whole proved quite durable.  One year later I visited my parents again, and the town appeared as if nothing had happened.  Punta Gorda real estate values were normal, all the visible damage had been removed or repaired, and residents I spoke with remembered the storm as just a passing memory.  It’s remarkable to encounter such resilient people.

A Sept. 18, 2008 article in U.S. News & World Report listed Punta Gorda, Fla. as one of the “best places to retire.” The article depicts the town as a thriving place with a small-town feel. Some of the enticing aspects listed for the retirement-age community were: warm winters, an abundance of golf courses, a cheaper cost of living than northern Florida, and a relatively quiet nightlife. The town has about 17,000 residents, and has been rebuilding itself (for the better, according to the article) since it was nearly destroyed in 2004 when Hurricane Charley, a Category 4 storm, swept through.Rebuilding has introduced new and eclectic businesses to the small town, and has allowed the residents to build everything in the traditional Florida style, to enhance the atmosphere of the community.

So it you’re looking for a quiet, thriving and warm place to spend your golden years, look into Punta Gorda, Florida homes.

Many people are finding themselves in the crest of leisure when they reach their retirement age, but if you’re anything like me, then you’ll know that you get restless really quickly.  A few months ago, I purchased a Punta Gorda property, but weeks into my retirement and I was bored.  As much as I like golfing and fishing – all activities here in Florida – I found that they really only filled a fraction of my week. 

Then last month, I decided to operate a website for my daughter’s independent bookstore, which, thanks in part to my boredom/diligence, includes an online store where people can order rare books.  The best part is that she lives in New York!  I don’t even have to leave my house and I get more done in a day than I have before – plus, I get to enjoy the beauty of Punta Gorda.

As the old adage goes, strike now while the iron’s hot.  While most cities are fast becoming overpopulated and overwrought with crime, families are finding themselves scattering to small, close-knit suburban communities.  One such place is Punta Gorda, FL.

Punta Gorda property is very hot at the moment.  The population is under 17,000 people and according to a 2003 FBI report, its crime rate is far below the national average that it’s nearly non-existent.  Additionally, 72% of the population are families, meaning that it’s a great place to raise your kids.  With those kinds of positive statistics, is there a reason NOT to move to Punta Gorda?
