PLACIDA FLORIDA is a small community located on the Southern Gulf Coast of Florida. It serves as the gateway to the barrier island Gasparilla and it's prestigious town, Boca Grande. Located in Charlotte County, most of Placida's homes are waterfront which provide valuable bridgeless access to the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico to it's residents. Touching the Northern end of Charlotte Harbor, Placida boasts gorgeous scenery and plentiful wildlife. For those who enjoy the outdoors, there are many options including boating, fishing, shelling, kayaking, hiking, cycling and bird watching.

There isn't much shopping or nightlife, but that is how the residents of Placida like it. It's quiet, relaxing, and encompasses everything expected of "Old Florida" living. Local businesses include: The Fishery Restaurant, Gasparilla Marina, Waterside Grill, Eldred's Marina and Ingman Marine.

Properties range in price from $1,000,000s for luxury waterfront single family homes, to $100,000s for small condos. These prices are a fraction of the cost of similar properties found on Boca Grande and offer a great value to buyers who would like a piece of Southwest Florida at an affordable price.

The office of Tarpon Real Estate is located in Placida which means you are dealing with a neighbor when you use Jennifer McLaughlin to help buy or sell your next home!
