Why Live in Gulf Cove
The Port Charlotte neighborhood of Gulf Cove is often called a boaters’ paradise thanks to the Myakka River, which runs along its east side. Miles of canals snake through the community, allowing some residents to hop on their boats from backyard docks and head out to the open waters. “You can get to the Gulf of Mexico,” says Leslie Brown, a Realtor with KW Coastal Living who sells throughout the area. “It might take you an hour to get there, but you can do it.” This community is made up by three communities: Gulf Cove proper, Gardens of Gulf Cove and South Gulf Cove. Gulf Cove proper and Gardens of Gulf Cove are similar in that both offer a mix of waterfront and inland lots. However, Gardens of Gulf Cove has a voluntary HOA with amenities. “There are two pools, tennis and pickleball courts and activities,” Brown says.
Home options in both communities are ranch-style from the ‘70s and ‘80s, and New Traditional styles built after 1990. Prices range from $230,000 to $600,000, with those at the upper end offering more square footage, water views or both.
South Gulf Cove is often more desirable for its higher concentration of waterfront properties. It also has a voluntary HOA. Most
