dude - Punta Gorda sucks. It is boring as hell (lived there for 2 yrs.). It is on charlotte harbor, not the gulf.. You do NOt want to swim in charlotte harbor.

Florida = home of the newly wed and the nearly dead.

Re: West Coast FL help
 

Got it, Charlotte Harbor = bad

Re: West Coast FL help
 

put it this way, I had no idea the left coast of Florida was so full of WT rednecks aside from Naples and Sarasota...and I am from Nebraska! :jump:

Re: West Coast FL help
 

Pensacola Beach.... Move there. That way you are close to states that have something to do.

:popcorn:

Re: West Coast FL help

So what was in Charlotte Harbor? Turds n stuff?, old people walking around with bloated saggy diapers.......:giggling:

Re: West Coast FL help
 

Just move to Miami Beach or Key Biscayne.

I have been living in Fort lauderdale for three years now and love it - great beaches - great restraunts - good nightlife - good fishing - Bahamas an hour away on my boat - very few 'coffin dodgers' - good 30+ crowd and very cosmopolitan - lots of Europeans, Aussies, South Africans etc. - also home to some of the largest and best marinas on the East coast. It is not the "Spring break" capitol of the world anymore. Trump is building here as is Hilton, W hotels, Q and many more - need I say more.

Re: West Coast FL help
 

I wouldnt recommend Pensacola Beach....another 45 miles you can be in Destin and it is night and day.

We just got back from a last minute 1 week trip to the West Coast of FL. We basicly spent the whole week with a few freinds that live in Tampa looking at different towns. Here is what we thought in a quick overview:
Anything North of Tampa = Good Deals but not so sure it's for us. If you need a Great Realtor in the New Port Richey area, and I do mean Great We were lucky enough to meet John Durkin who put together a full day of house hunting with no notice. He is also a full bird in the Marine Corps Squad Leader and Top Gun Grad flying the F-18!! He truly is very helpful: http://www.thetopgunteam.com/
This is the best of what we found in our price range from North to South:

Hudson = New house, 3100SF, on end of Canal, 2 car OS Garage
(10ft doors) Elevator, 3 levels + roof top deck
Gulf Views $650,000

New Port Richie $699,000
4 Bed, 3 Bath
not on water but has mooring rights
3,617 Sq. Ft
MLS ID#: 7237975


We found a few propertiew in St Pete but we need more time there.
Our search will be St.Pete and South.
Lidia love this place:

I have never seen so many Homes For Sale. Some streets every Home was For Sale! For sure it's a buyers market. IMO for the next year is the time to steel a property in Florida. I heard stories like this a lot: House on market for $850,000, - price drop, price drop, price drop now on market for $695,000 just sold for $595,000!!
Let the pilaging begin! ;)
