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.

Southwest Florida is one of the most scenic and beautiful locations in the world, and as such is a great place to retire or even raise a family.  One of the sure benefits of Southwest Florida would be its proximity to the Gulf of Mexico and to the various lakes and other bodies of water in the area.  Owning Southwest Florida waterfront property ensures gorgeous sunsets and sunrises.  In addition, you will have access to boating, fishing, swimming and snorkeling, and every other waterfront activity imaginable. 

For relaxation and respite, the Southwest Florida waterfront is also a great place to visit or vacation.  Once you’ve been here, you won’t want to leave!

There are some great golf courses in Southwest Florida, specifically near Punta Gorda and the surrounding area.  For a modern and updated course, the Tern Bay Golf and Country Club opened in 2007, and is located right inside Punta Gorda.  This course boasts 6,800 yards of beautiful greenery and a par of 71.  Another course of high acclaim in the Punta Gorda area is the Deep Creek Golf Course.  This course is a par of 70, and consistently receives high marks amongst golfers. 

Though these are only two examples, Punta Gorda golf courses are numerous and all reflect the unique beauty of Southwest Florida.
