The smart development of North Port is illustrated by the Heron Creek Golf & Country Club. In just 10 years since development began at Heron Creek, the small Florida town of North Port has been transformed into a very desirable place to live thanks to the high quality of life promoted by the premier community.

Heron Creek is the crown jewel of south Sarasota County. More than half of the 678 acres of the master development area have been set aside as nature preserves to ensure that the Southwest Florida ecosystem is allowed to thrive and be enjoyed by Heron Creek’s residents. There are several neighborhoods in different stages of development within Heron Creek. The floor plans currently available range from two-bedroom villas built on 1,666 square feet priced at $169,900, to premium 3,867 square feet four-bedroom estates priced under $500K.

The present country club amenities at Heron Creek include the impressive golf course, tennis courts, an elegant clubhouse, a heated pool, and a well-appointed fitness center complete with saunas. The golf course has three layouts comprising 27 holes for different levels of skill. The course’s fairways wind through wooded areas, streams and lakes.

The future of North Port as a community is highly dependent on Heron Creek. The new Town Center on the edge of Heron Creek will host all the North Port municipal operations from City Hall to the Police and Fire Headquarters. The development is already home to a burgeoning commercial district, with more business and medical centers coming up in the near future. Once the new Town Center is finished, Heron Creek residents will have a wide choice of amenities and conveniences located within walking distance.

The lucky families who choose to settle in Heron Creek can send their children to brand new public schools: Lamarque Elementary, Heron Creek Middle, and the progressive and high-tech North Port High School.
