Port Charlotte

Port Charlotte, Florida Vacation Rentals Houses and Condos.

The Port Charlotte area was largely platted and developed by the now-defunct General Development Corporation, which also developed many other subdivisions and municipalities along Florida's west coast. Port Charlotte is not a chartered municipality, but the most-populated area in Charlotte County with many Port Charlotte, Florida vacation rentals by owner houses, condos, villas and cottages.

Port Charlotte was hard hit by Hurricane Charley on August 13, 2004. The hurricane, predicted to hit Tampa, took a last-minute hard right turn into Charlotte Harbor and caused severe damage in the city of Punta Gorda and in the Port Charlotte area. Many residents were caught by surprise because of many false alarms in recent years.

In the wake of Hurricane Charley, Port Charlotte faces the challenge of finding affordable housing for its service-industry workforce. With many homes and apartments destroyed or damaged beyond repair, many low-income residents who have lived in the area for years have been forced to seek housing elsewhere. As of 2005, property values have doubled and tripled in many areas in less than three years, especially in the wake of speculation following Hurricane Charley.

Water wars in the area are common between municipalities and counties, all fighting for a dwindling supply from local water management districts, wellfields, and the Peace River.

Port Charlotte has experienced a tremendous boom in land values between 2003 and 2005. About 800 acres of old platted lots in a portion of central Port Charlotte have been taken by the county by eminent domain and will be developed into a big mixed-use development by Stock Development Corp.

Port Charlotte's most famous resident is professional wrestler Jason Sanders who was cast as the main character in the real life inspired novel Backyard Empire. The story itself also takes place in Port Charlotte.
