Not sure how it ranks with surrounding areas - but there seems to be a large homeless population in PC - there seem to be many encampments not too far off 41. And while Sunseekers is nice it will be interesting to see if the surrounding area will benefit from the business- hoping to see less vaping shops and massage parlors. I do live in PC (SGC) and do enjoy the area. It is not pretentious and is more affordable than some surrounding areas.
Thanks for your insight! FL dept of health has a website that shows the state estimates for homeless population by county but only shows 2023 for most recent. Charlotte was estimated at 427 people. Which is almost 3x what it was in 2022 so that may be why it seems like you see more than before. It is lower than Lee county but slightly higher than Sarasota county and Hendry is listed as only having 4. Sunseeker will likely have a significant positive impact for the surrounding area. Over the next few years you will see commercial buildings make updates and new buildings be built and with those improvements rents will increase and change the types of businesses in those buildings. South Gulf Cove is a great neighborhood! Glad you enjoy living here!!
@@barryfigel9957 it’s big and doesn’t really fit in with what’s around it but that’s because most of what is around it is old and run down. Similar to what was there before they bought it. So while it may stick out like a sore thumb now, and it may not be your style, I think it’s a huge upgrade from what was there before and it has already sparked some other nearby building owners to do upgrades to their buildings as well. So I personally think it was good for the area.
water, water , water. unreal insurance costs both homeowners and car. Taxes with new home owner property assessments, outrageous!, Public school rankings? unemployment rate? wages in comparison to up north in the usa? grocery costs? any large corporations in Port Charlotte? Crime rate? types of crimes? everyone have to commute to work? what choices are available for homeowners insurance? getting insurance costs on new ownership of a property prior to contract?
Living sw Florida Do you live in Charlotte county? Do you travel both sides of the harbor? Its 8:10 pm. My grandchildren are in town We are sitting at my pool listening to lennar run excavation equipment across the water from me The county and building department doesn't care Tge commissioners have allowed ove 210 homes to be built on this piece of property This traffic has killed people at Marathon and Gasparilla rd, not to mention what's it done to the traffic at sandimingo/Gaspirilla rd. Countys done nothing Our one route out in hurricane is river rd Ever heard of it. Complete joke. From one end to the other. This areas commerce has been destroyed in the last 2 years We have acres of abandoned trailers in placida that we're destroyed in Ian Over two years ago We are still looking at it Again I don't know how else to express it Charlotte county Florida sucks
I don't live in Charlotte county but spend a ton of time there for work as we sell many homes there. I'm sorry you aren't happy living there any more. It sounds like maybe we should help you find somewhere you would be more happy. Where would you like to move to?

3 100 year hurricanes in 19 years.Not bad.
Are 100 year storms even a thing still if they happen nearly every year somewhere in the world?
No public transportation.
Yes. It’s pretty much non existent throughout all of SWFL unfortunately.
It's known as port toilet.
Interesting! That’s the first time I’ve heard that.
