Our Community
Venice, Florida, is known for its friendly, small-town feel, its charming downtown shopping area and its elegant boulevards shaded by giant oaks. Business, culture and natural beauty all coexist peacefully in this region of the Gulf Coast, where the beaches and blue skies stretch for miles.
The South County area of Florida stands out as one of the most desirable spots; not too "citified," but still able to provide the facilities needed for comfortable living and a great place to open businesses and raise families.
Surrounding areas are South Venice, Nokomis, Laurel and Osprey.
