    I don't know about what Port Charlotte are you talking , but in the summer the temperature is very often over 90 degrees and it's not only hot, it's f ... hot.
    And the real estate market became insane expensive compared with years ago, like the rest of the US.

    Missed Pro: Real Estate is dirt cheap. Vacant land is incredibly inexpensive (takes money though to develop so it will add up eventually, but still on cheaper end) and finished homes are usually on the cheaper end when compared to other places in Florida.
    Missed Cons: A lot of the properties are in flood zones. So not only will it flood with a heavy rain, but insurance costs will be higher. Also when discussing wildlife he forgot to mention Bobcats, Wild Boars, Water Moccasins and rattlesnakes. Seen all 4 in my travels and stays in Port Charolette.

    My grandparents have lived in port charlotte for a little over 15 years now and it’s built up so much, but I always thought the area was endearing. And lol you are right about all the critters; I’m from northern Illinois, so seeing wild bobcats, snakes, lizards, turtles and all the aquatic life was amazing as it’s so diverse! I really do appreciate that about the golf coast area :,)

    3 local hospitals and it will take great luck to find a surgeon in some specialties.....like gastroenterology or color rectal, heart, ( with the exception of 1 heart surgeon ). Put it this way, my cardiologists assistant called me prior to open heart surgery in punta gorda and IMPLORED me to NOT do it! Go top sarasota she said, go anywhere but don't do that here! Can you imagine? So factor that into your budget

    Lies about the heat!!! Temps might be in the eighties but feels like 114! Don't go to Port Charlotte Beach unless you want a disease. Housing prices are expensive compared to how much you make. You must have a double income. Mall is closing down and stores suck. Traffic is getting worse and the more people we have moving here doesn't help. There is no public transportation unless you are a senior. No night life. Nothing for the young people. The animals are bigger here than anywhere!!!! Mosquitos are disgusting bad and mosquito control is non existent. I've only heard of one bad hurricane here and that was Charley.

      Typical boys, there worried about meeting new people, getting part time work as well as schooling, there are both in college so transferring everything and starting a new life can be challenging. One is going to school to be an electrician and one is going to school for fire science.
      Looking for any advice as to relocating and and social activities for young adults that you know of, I seen on line a social group called Team Douggie, that has corn hole and volley ball tournaments, making a move and not knowing a soul can be challenging.

My advice is know the canals if you buy on the water. the canals closer to the main water ways will get you out to the lagoon and out to the charlotte harbor faster. if we would have moved on the other side of the circle we would have saved 15 minutes off our commute by water to charlotte harbor.

    Just got back from Port Charlotte a few weeks ago. We went out for seafood twice. Both times were told that they get their crab and lobster from the upper east coast and that the prices were too high right now for local business to acquires this food. So the suggestion that they are getting their seafood locally, is not accurate.
