The value play
North Port sprawls across the county's southern end and offers new-construction communities, spacious lots, and a price of entry well below its coastal neighbors.
Wellen Park
The city centers on Wellen Park, one of America's top-selling master-planned communities, with a lakefront downtown, year-round events, and Atlanta Braves spring training at CoolToday Park.
Nature
Nature lovers get Myakkahatchee Creek and Warm Mineral Springs, both within the city.
Getting around
The beaches of Venice and Manasota Key are 20 to 30 minutes away. North Port trades a longer drive for a lot more house — the classic value play on the Suncoast.
