NORTH PORT FLORIDA
Incorporated in June, 1959, North Port had 87,000 residentially platted lots, and 200-plus acres available for commercial development in their 76 square miles, prior to several recent voluntary annexations. Newly annexed parcels are becoming activity centers, with significantly more space available for commercial development. The population today is just over 34,000 and is expected to reach 56,287 by 2010, just a few short years away. The population is projected to eventually climb to 250,000 + people. Strategically located near the rapidly growing west coast of Florida, North Port is between Naples and Tampa. U.S. 41 passes through the center of town while I-75 is close by with two exits located in North Port, and a third exit planned in the near future.
North Port is conveniently located with easy access to three airports and close proximity to many area Gulf beaches, but is a city unto itself. Local cultural events abound, with an even larger variety only 40 minutes (Sarasota) to 1 hour (Fort Myers) away. The semi-tropical climate and nearly perfect weather conditions lend themselves well to North Port's comfortable leisurely style of living. Vegetation abounds and even novice gardeners maintain beautiful lawns and flower gardens. The areas many canals and lakes are sources of pleasure for fishermen and boaters.
