Punta Gorda Real Estate

While the entire country is suffering from the current recession and a significant downturn in the housing market, some areas have fared better than others.  Florida, for example, is one of the areas hit hardest by the recession.  However, the good news is that most economists believe those areas hit hardest have bottomed out and are now on the path to recovery.  While some areas of the country will continue to decline, it’s believed that the areas most affected by the recession will recover first.  With hundreds of thousands of beautiful properties, Florida is one of the areas poised for an upturn in the housing market. 

Southwest Florida, in areas like Punta Gorda, have already started to see some signs of life despite the dour recession.  While the upturn in the real estate market is good news, even better news is that even the most beautiful Punta Gorda waterfront homes are now available at discount prices.  These homes have some of the most breathtaking views of the ocean in the entire world.  Don’t miss the once in a lifetime chance to own these one of these homes before they’re snatched up!

When I was a younger man, I visited my grandparents in Punta Gorda, Florida and spent a few weeks vacationing at their waterfront home.  Because my grandparents lived across the country (I lived in Los Angeles at the time) I didn’t see them much, but after a couple days in Punta Gorda, I could understand why they lived there.  Punta Gorda is beautiful, you can wake up to the sunset in the morning, take a swim in the crystal blue water, and then head into town for a delicious breakfast.  I loved spending time there, and knew that when I retired, I wanted to live there as well.

Turned out my dream came true faster than I had anticipated; when my grandparents passed, I inherited their Punta Gorda property on the waterfront.  As a freelance writer for several online publications, I could basically live wherever I wanted, so I moved to Punta Gorda and have lived here ever since.  There’s no place in the United States, and perhaps the world, quite like it!

 When considering moving to the Punta Gorda community of Florida one must decide whether they prefer the Punta Gorda Isles, Burnt Store Isles, Seminole Lakes or Burnt Store Meadows. These four communities all represent smaller enclaves within the Punta Gorda community.  It may also be wise to consider looking at Punta Gorda lakefront property. Beautiful lakefront homes dapple the shoreline of this village-like settling and sailboats dot the water.The old-fashioned downtown section of Punta Gorda has a small-town feel. Colorful paintings decorate the walls of shops and restaurants. Throughout the area there are many parks for children to play in and benches for tired parents to rest upon. The homes in this area also have an old-Florida charm. The streets are paved with cobblestone and lit with gas lamps. Punta Gorda is a great place to move to or simply visit.

Regardless of the climate of the real estate market, waterfront properties are among the most desirable listings that can be found. 

Southwest Florida waterfront property is appealing for its close proximity to the Everglades and the Gulf of Mexico, white sandy beaches, golf courses and many activities for those who enjoy the outdoors.

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.
