Founded in 1999, the neighborhood features private streets, sidewalks, mature landscaping, ponds and a quieter atmosphere just west of Interstate 75.

- Two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans

Small Gated Community
One of Charleston Park’s defining characteristics is its relatively small size.
The Charleston Park Homeowners Association currently identifies approximately 139 households within the gated community. Private streets and controlled access help limit through traffic while sidewalks and mature landscaping contribute to the established neighborhood setting.
Unlike many larger North Port master-planned communities, Charleston Park does not revolve around a large recreational amenity complex.
Charleston Park vs. Villas at Charleston Park
Charleston Park and Villas at Charleston Park are separate residential communities and should be treated as different real estate searches.

Villas at Charleston Park is a separate gated community with approximately 185 homesites and its own homeowners association. The Villas community provides additional recreational amenities including a clubhouse, heated pool and fitness facilities along with more extensive maintenance services.
This distinction is important because association fees, amenities and maintenance responsibilities differ between the two communities.
