Venice/Englewood Venice, FL

Florida charm with easy access to Fort Myers

Commuter Charming Coastal

The peaceful waterfront community of Venice and Englewood sits on Florida’s west coast overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. Originally established to provide lemon groves, the town retains a natural Old Florida feel with few buildings reaching higher than three or four stories. Fort Myers and Sarasota lie within commuting distance, and Sarasota Bradenton International Airport lies just 30 miles away.

Dotted with charming 50s-style beach homes and vibrant apartment rentals, the area is quintessentially Florida. Back on the mainland, you'll find plenty of golf courses and several parks where residents and visitors can enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, cycling, and kayaking. With its stunning, unspoiled beaches and a pleasant year-round climate, you’ll feel as though you’re on a permanent vacation when you live in an Englewood/Venice apartment.

It's such a beautiful and rustic beach town! Filled with so many kind souls and it's not as congested as the neighboring towns. A beautiful place to raise a family.

Venice is a nice place to live. There are some great places to eat, beautiful beaches, and short commutes. In most cases the weather is nice. The downside of Venice is the over development of the area

Lived in Englewood and Venice areas for 12 years. Beautiful place, nice beaches very safe. BUT teens will be bored and unless you are a senior or a bar person you will end up very lonely. I moved to Bradenton Sarasota area a year ago and I will say there is a HUGE difference in diversity things to do and the friendly factor is way better in that area. Busier yes, more diverse yes. But the friendliness is amazing in Sarasota and Bradenton, Anna Maria Island. I go to Venice Englewood a couple x a week and it always reminds me why I don't ever want to live there again. No one even says hello. Besides nothing to do for teens, it's just a lonely place. Beautiful and safe yes. But for me friendliness is way more important
