North Port is a rapidly growing municipality containing very large-scale
residential subdivision along with an extensive network of streets. The municipality has annexed nearby
locales including the area known as Warm Mineral Springs, the location of a notable artesian spring as
well as its own significant residential subdivision.
North Port, Florida was established in 1959 and since then, it has become one of the most desired places
to live. Money Magazine agrees. Not long ago, they named North Port, Florida "The #1 Best Place to Live in the
South" two years in a row.
The city recently established a goal to diversify the city’s tax base with non-residential land uses. They
hope to achieve a healthy balance between residential, commercial, and industrial land. With the proposed
annexations, North Port will be the third largest city in Florida.
