Deep Creek is a community filled with lakes in "the city of Hibiscus," a nickname given to Punta Gorda as it's overflowing with red tropical flowers. This is only one of a few deed-restricted neighborhoods in the city, and people are drawn here for the manicured curb appeal. Deep Creek also has a public golf course, and almost every neighborhood street winds around a greenbelt. "There's usually green belts between homes maintained by the Homeowners Association, so you always have a decent view, which is nice," says lifelong resident Adrienne Andreae, a Realtor with Allison James Estates & Homes who hosts a YouTube channel devoted to Punta Gorda. Living in Deep Creek offers a fast track to the rest of the city as Interstate 75 and Kings Highway run along its western side. The downtown area is less than 8 miles south, with waterside restaurants and a popular city park.
Deep Creek is located inland of the Charlotte River but is not known to flood during storms.
Deep Creek enjoys easy access to Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda.

Lakeside properties in Deep Creek
Deep Creek's neighborhood streets spring with palm trees and end in cul-de-sacs. Houses were built mostly in Spanish and Mediterranean-inspired neo-traditional styles from the '80s to the present day. Some are painted in shades of gray, earth tones and pastels and have stately columns. Residents abide by Homeowners Association (HOA) agreements. "It's a mild HOA. It's like $175 a year, maybe $225 a year," says Dana Hile, a local Realtor with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage who's sold homes in the city for five years. "For renting you have to rent for at least a month at a time. If you build a fence, it can't be taller than four feet. You can't have outbuildings for lawnmowers. You have to attach it to the house," Hile says. Most homes are between 1,800 and 2,800 square feet and about half of them have backyard pools. Inland properties range from the low $300,000s to the mid $400,000s depending on square footage, age and condition. Lakeside properties go from $500,000 to over $700,000. Condos and townhouses, some also fronting water, price from the $170,000s to the high $200,000s. Deep Creep is in Flood Zone X, which means it's less prone to flooding than other areas. While Punta Gorda gets a regular influx of tropical weather, the last major hurricane was in 2022.
The lakes of Deep Creek are man made and well irrigated.

There's a nature preserve on Sandhill Boulevard
Deep Creek Golf Club offers a 6,000-yard course right at the center of the neighborhood, and professional golfers are on staff to help players level up. Locals can kayak in any one of the lakes surrounding homes. The southern section of Deep Creek also connects to Peace River. "Peace River is almost like a harbor in itself because it's so big, and it dumps right into Charlotte Harbor. It's hard to tell the difference between the two," Hile says. "Riding around on an air boat, where you can get into more shallow water, you see Islands with lawn chairs on them and picnic tables." On Sandhill Boulevard, there's a small nature preserve with dirt trails winding beneath tree canopies. Deep Creek Park offers multiple sports courts and a playground on the same road.
Local eateries from K’s Family Pizzeria to Watson's Ice Cream
Between Rio De Janeiro Avenue and Rampart Street, locals can grab a sweet scoop at Watson's Ice Cream and a cheesy slice at K’s Family Pizzeria and Restaurant. There are also some well-loved local spots at the intersection of I-75 and Kings Highway. With string lights hanging from the ceiling and comfortable chairs for sipping and reading, Mudslide Coffee serves specialty lattes in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Locals dig into everything from boneless wings to street tacos at Beef O' Brady's, a go-to sports bar. For nights in, there's a Walmart Supercenter within 3 miles. Andrea Andreae also mentions Peachland Street: "It's outside of Deep Creek, but it's very close, and there's a bunch of shops and restaurants. Fin Sushi is a big one." Downtown offers dock-and-dine restaurants, including Harpoon Harry's, known for its seafood. Box chains, including Target, are over 9 miles west.
JB's Corner Cafe offers coffee as well as freshly baked goods and sandwiches.
Harpon Harry's is located just minutes from Deep Creek and sits on the waterfront.

Interstate 75 is just west
“Some people are surprised by it because we are a small town, but I’ve had some people ask me if we have Uber. Uber, Lyft we have it all,” Andrea Andreae says. Deep Creek is accessible via two north and south exits off I-75. Punta Gorda Airport is around 9 miles away, following the highway. Though primarily used for general aviation, it offers connecting flights to 50 airports through Allegiant Air. However, the most direct way to fly is through Southwest Florida International, 40 miles south. When care is needed, HCA Florida Fawcett Hospital is over 7 miles west.
Buying potted flowers at the annual Hibiscus Festival
The annual Hibiscus Festival has been held downtown every May for the past 20 years. Gardeners set up booths at Gilchrist Park and sell flower varieties while live bands play on the main stage. A year-round farmers market also runs downtown every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. There's also live music happening at almost any bar on the weekends.
