Englewood Florida lies 30 minutes South of Sarasota on the Gulf of Mexico. Many refer to Englewood as Florida's best kept secret, and in 2009, AOL designated Englewood as it's number one selection for places to retire. Low cost of living, amazing weather, and a spectacular landscape of white sandy beaches speckled with swaying grasses have enticed many to call Englewood home. But not too many--which is another reason why Englewood is such a wonderful place to live. It has remained relatively unspoiled in contrast to much of Coastal Florida.

In Englewood you will find everything you need to consider it a self-sustaining community including hospitals, shopping, restaurants, gyms, nightlife, public and private organizations, outdoor recreation and much more. However, much of the draw comes from the miles of public beaches, incredible state parks, and unparalleled access to the Gulf of Mexico and the Intracoastal Waterway. Plentiful boat ramps and marinas keep even land-locked boaters flowing freely through the local waterways. Miles of pressure-free fishing along Lemon Bay and the Charlotte Harbor Estuary offer anglers a veritable wonderland of opportunity. Additionally, there are many professional golf courses as well as tennis and watersports of all kinds.
