Englewood Offers Homes & Condos for Sale with Old Florida Charm

For all the attention that the Southwest Florida regional housing market gets these days, Englewood is an overlooked gem.  Spread across a coastal area of Sarasota and Charlotte Counties, Englewood is home to less than 50,000 residents who enjoy year-round balmy weather and some of the most pristine beaches in the Gulf of Mexico.  Some of these lucky Floridians live in opulent waterfront estates by the Intracoastal Waterway or the Manasota Key barrier island, or else they live in comfortable inland subdivisions where single-family homes range between $100,000 to $300,000.

Like other communities in Southwest Florida, Englewood is home to many seasonal residents and seniors.  In this regard, Englewood vacation homes experienced meteoric appreciation in value at the beginning of the century, but in the last few year prices have returned to normal levels.  Englewood is one of those rare communities that have managed to retain the Old Florida charm -something that makes it very attractive to some house hunters.

Planning officials of both Charlotte and Sarasota Counties share a common interest in preserving the natural beauty and small-town feel of Englewood.  To this effect, the high-rise condominium towers that are staples of many other Florida beaches are simply not allowed in Englewood, but this does not mean that residents live in complete isolation.  Englewood boasts a small tourism industry that features restaurants, art galleries, nature tours, and even a farmers market.

The fortunate home shoppers who acquire real estate in Englewood are treated to some of Florida’s most captivating natural beauty.  The Stump Pass Beach State Park in Charlotte County is a secluded beach that is home to manatees, egrets, turtles and other magnificent species.  Boating, fishing, kayaking, mountain biking, and hiking are some of the delightful activities in Englewood, which is not far from the metropolitan areas of Sarasota or Venice -two cities that offer suburban comforts, shopping, health care, cultural activities and more.
