Englewood is situated on beautiful Lemon Bay setting on an area straddling unincorporated Sarasota and Charlotte counties, harbored by several small islands and outstanding beaches in the tropical south Florida setting. The Englewood Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) includes that portion of Englewood in Sarasota County.
While nourishing its small town atmosphere, Englewood also rises to the demands of growth and modernization, keeping up with new ideas and ways to maintain its way of life. In the late 1990s, residents and business and civic leaders raised concerns about the need to improve conditions in the area known as Olde Englewood. In 1998, after many public meetings, the Sarasota County Board of Commissioners approved the creation of the CRA as a public agency to promote improvements and redevelopment in the area.
Englewood is a community that thrives on its cultural events, nature parks, beaches, fishing, boating and hometown atmosphere.
