Welcome
Welcome to North Port, the city where you can “Achieve Anything”!
I am a semi-recent transplant to the city of North Port, having been here for
about 6 years. I moved here from up north looking for warmer winters and the
endless possibilities that a growing city can offer. When I think back to picking up
my life and moving here, I am so happy that I made the decision to do so.
North Port has grown from being a tiny, bedroom community to having the largest population in Sarasota County
with over 70,000 residents. The city has become the home of many new businesses and other amenities since I moved
here including The Suncoast Technical College, Shannon Staub Public Library and CoolToday Park (the spring training
facility of the Atlanta Braves).
If you enjoy parks and recreation, there are some great places in the city. You can swim at the new North Port Aquatic
Center or take a dip in Warm Mineral Springs. There are also over 20 parks in the city that allow you to do various
things like walking your dog, kayaking, fishing, biking and much more. If you are more of an indoor person, the city has
2 indoor recreational centers for Basketball, Pickleball, fitness and other activities.
North Port is also a great place to do business. The economy has been favorable to opening new businesses and the
city has seen a ton of growth. New restaurants and shops are opening in the city on a constant basis. If you work from
home or have a mobile business, we have seen a huge increase in the amount of business happening in the city.
Schools are especially important. North Port has some of the best in the state. We have five public elementary
schools, two middle schools, a high school, a charter school that handles all grades as well as quite a few higher learning
facilities.
One of my favorite things about North Port is that there is so much to explore. There are always new things to see
and some of the best places in the world are just a short drive away. I am proud to say that North Port is my home. I
hope that you enjoy our city as much as I do.
Thank you,
