Wellen Park is North Port not Venice. That's not to say anything bad about Wellen Park because Wellen Park is rather nice but it is just NOT Venice. Wellen Park has also the Atlanta Braves winter stadium.

North port/ Wellen Park is not in Venice. This video is a developer marketing piece.

I lived in Englewood , 1 town over ... worked in Venice for many years , Other than the heat it<br>was great. Rt 41 has always been too dangerous , a thousand driveway entrances and exits <br>for a thousand stores etc.. while people drive about 50 + mph. There is a car accident about every hour of every day always. When they finally put in a Dunky's ... The line every<br>morning was so long that it went in to the traffic in to the main roads . Expansion n congestion got worse n worse and ruined it. I was there 5 years before I ever met someone <br>from Florida , Almost everyone is from MA , and some from MI .

I lived in Sarasota and Venice from 2011 to 2016. I was working and the traffic was bad then. If I was retired I probably would have stayed. It is an older community so if you are younger you may like a bigger town or city for more to do.

I live in Cape Coral, FL and have for over 35 years. Absolutely love visiting Venice for a mini vacation but don’t feel the price of buying there is worth it especially considering the limited dining and shopping options without traveling outside what is actually Venice!

Anyone interested in moving to Venice? Do yourself a HUGE favor and rent. DO NOT BUY! Venice (pop 29,900) has a whopping 1700 properties listed for sale, plus an additional 1574 properties for rent. FL is in the beginning of a big market correction that could take a couple years to bottom out.

Bought a house in Wellen Park. Sold it a year later. The taxes just keep increasing, as does the population and congestion.
