About Englewood
Englewood is a relaxed coastal town located along the Gulf of Mexico in Southwest Florida, straddling both Sarasota and Charlotte counties. With a population of around 20,000 full-time residents, the community swells seasonally as snowbirds and vacationers are drawn to its warm weather, white-sand beaches, and friendly small-town feel.
Geographically, Englewood offers the best of both worlds — beachfront access to the Gulf of Mexico and the quiet waters of Lemon Bay, ideal for boating, kayaking, and fishing. Nature lovers enjoy nearby state parks, preserves, and trails, while locals and visitors alike frequent historic Dearborn Street, home to art galleries, restaurants, and community events.
