Submarket Overview The city of Punta Gorda is flanked by the waters of Charlotte Harbor on the Southwest Florida Gulf coast, a region known for unspoiled natural beauty, world-class boating, fishing, sailing, abundant nature explorations, pristine beaches, challenging golf, unique shopping and dining experiences and a thriving arts community. Located halfway between the city of Tampa, FL to the north and the city of Naples, FL to the south, Punta Gorda anchors a collection of nine charming coastal communities that surround Charlotte Harbor, the state's second largest harbor. Punta Gorda is the seat of Charlotte County, the laid back neighbor in a Southwest Florida coastal region of four counties - Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee and Collier - that increasingly function as one and which includes the more urban buzz of the city of Fort Myers 30 miles to the south of Punta Gorda, the rapid pace of fast-growing Sarasota 50 miles to the north, and everything in between. Punta Gorda is easily reached by car, as the entire Southwest Florida region is traversed north-south by Interstate 75 and Tamiami Trail (U.S. Highway 41). The Southwest Florida International Airport, servicing more than seven million passengers a year, is located 40 miles from the subject property, with service to major destinations throughout the country. The smaller Charlotte County International Airport in Punta Gorda provides commuter service to secondary destinations as far north as Niagara Falls, NY and Lexington, KY. A haven for outdoor enthusiasts, Charlotte Harbor has been named to SAIL magazine's 10 Greatest Places to Sail in the United States. The city of Punta Gorda has been named as one of the top Ten Places to Retire Healthy by U.S. News & World Report. Of course, this is Florida, so such accolades are to be expected as everyone knows that Florida means good weather year-round, world-class golf courses, beautiful beaches, scenic rivers, outstanding hospitals and affordable, reputable schools. To be sure, Punta Gorda is part and parcel to the best of Florida. Not surprisingly, Charlotte County has steadily been attracting relocation from other parts of the state and the country, due to its more affordable housing market. To that end, the table below gives a quick summary of the area's demographics. Charlotte County Demographic Highlights Charlotte County's population of nearly 162,722 ranks as the 29th largest among Florida's 67 counties Population grew nearly 15% between 2000 and 2012 Seventy-three percent of housing units were built since 1980 Per capita income is $26,241 v. state per capita of $24,990 Average household income is $56,738 One of every five residents is between 18 and 45 One of every three residents is age 65 or older Ninety percent of the population is white, non-hispanic Median value of owner-occupied housing is $133,640

Whether flying into Southwest Florida International, the Charlotte County Airport, or driving into town, nearly 300,000 visitors travel to Charlotte County annually. A Stage for the U.S. Navy Blue Angels - Punta Gorda is a household name for hundreds of aviation enthusiasts who flock to the Charlotte County Airport every year to watch breathtaking high-speed maneuvers, most recently by the famous U.S. Navy Blue Angels, frequent guest stars in the county's International Air Show. The show, held annually in Charlotte County for 32 years, has made Punta Gorda an indelible point in the map for aviation buffs. The two-day show reportedly draws an attendance of more than 50,000 spectators. A Setting for Filmmakers and Film Lovers - With a variety of backdrops that include breathtaking sun sets, lush tropical landscapes and laid back Southern charm, Charlotte County is a filming destination for feature films, documentaries and commercials.

In 2011 the festival honored Michael Uslan, Executive Producer of the Batman and Dark Knight movies, with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The festival also held the first ever global flash mob film screening and competition. The 2012 festival takes place in September and will introduce a new category for films shot with cell phones. A New and Improved Baseball Town - Charlotte County is back in the baseball business full swing. After bidding the Texas Rangers good-bye in 2002, spring training returned to Charlotte County in 2009 when the Tampa Bay Rays relocated there from St. Petersburg, Fla., after Charlotte County spent $27.2 million to rebuild Charlotte County Stadium - now renamed Charlotte Sports Park - and brought it up to modern state-of-the-art standards. The improved stadium, designed by HOK Sport, has a berm down each baseline, suites and a total capacity of 6,823 fixed seats. Renovations included construction of new administrative offices and a 44,000-square foot clubhouse. Charlotte Sports Park also is home of minor league team Charlotte Stone Crabs. The Stone Crabs are owned by Cal Ripken or Ripken Baseball, who bought the team in 2008 and moved them to Port Charlotte from Vero Beach, where they had spent the previous 28 seasons. A Region Full of College Students - Southwest Florida, while known as a retirement and second-home area, also is home to more than 35,000 students attending any of the 14 institutions of higher learning located in the area that stretches from Sarasota County on the north to Collier County on the South, with Charlotte County in the middle.

A Growing Music Festival Scene - After attracting a crowd of more than 2,000 music lovers in February 2012, the annual Punta Gorda Wine & Jazz Festival is growing into a three-day event at its next staging in February 2013. This festival has been growing since its creation in 2005, when the chamber of commerce organized it to draw the community back downtown after Hurricane Charley. Some 750 people attended the inaugural event, and the crowds have kept growing ever since, leading organizers to expand the event's scope into a three-day festival. Capitalizing on the area's receptiveness for music events, this year the chamber of commerce will hold its first Latin festival event, to be held Nov. 24, 2012, and featuring cross-cultural Latin guitarist and eight-time Grammy Award winner Jose Feliciano. The chamber is projecting an attendance of more than 5,000 people.
