Monday, 08 February 2010 00:00 Written by Administrator

Punta Gorda Floridas Best Kept Secret Punta Gorda has long been a hidden jewel nestled on Charlotte Harbor, located in the well known region of Southwest Florida, famous for perfect winter weather with average daily highs of 75 degrees.

The evidence of a new city is everywhere you look and what you see is impressive. Punta Gorda with a population of roughly 15 thousand residents that doubles in the winter, has all the charm of a small town but the feel of a much larger city without any of the drawn backs such as crippling traffic, crime or high taxes.

Punta Gorda future plans are being carefully crafted with a focus on continuing to make this city the very best place to choose to own your next home.
