Close to the Gulf of Mexico, yet set in a quiet setting apart from vacationers and tourists, is the city of North Port, Florida. While North Port is the 5th largest city in the state with over 100 square miles of land, only a small percentage of its land is developed, leaving plenty of room for growth, while maintaining many areas reserved for parks and recreation. Located between Sarasota and Ft. Myers, residents of North Port appreciate their good schools, low crime rate, low cost of living, comfortable year-round climate and excellent quality of life. The city prides itself in providing only the highest quality government services, with excellent police and fire protection, emergency medical service, libraries, schools and utilities.

North Port has recently completed some exciting economic development projects in response to the city's growth as a family community, with new shopping and consumer plazas, an impressive Performing Art Center and three new schools-- an elementary school opening 2004, Heron Creek Middle school opened in 2003, and North Port High School opened 2001. Due to the modern facilities, North Port is rapidly expanding as an ideal Florida city for young families.

North Port is an active community with many recreational opportunities. Easy access to the Myakka river through many waterways within the city, makes fishing and boating is a popular activity. There are several renowned golf courses within the community. The Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park has nature trails, while other parks have fields for soccer, baseball, football, tennis, basketball, and picnicing. The city maintains a beautification plan that has earned it the title as a Tree City USA.
