Harbour Heights Civic Association

Harbour Heights Civic Association, Inc.

Welcome to Harbour Heights, a friendly community located on the Peace River just east of

Port

Charlotte!

Given its rapid growth rate due to the influx of “baby boomers” into southwest Florida, the

population of Harbour Heights

has

expanded in recent years to 700+ households. The

welfare of the community is monitored and promoted by an

active Harbour

Heights Civic

Association.

Its relatively secluded location at the eastern end of Harborview Drive makes Harbour Heights

a peaceful enclave free

from

traffic while still within close driving distance of local

supermarkets, banks, gas stations, and the commercial

activities of Kings

Highway and the

Tamiami Trail. The community is only one mile east of I-75, permitting quick travel

north to

Tampa or south to

Naples. Within reasonable driving distance are Sarasota and Fort Myers,

both of which

support a broad range of cultural

activities.

The principal attractions of Harbour Heights are environmental in nature. The community is

liberally criss-crossed by

navigable

canals, permitting boat owners immediate access to the

Peace River and thereby to Charlotte Harbor and the

Gulf of Mexico.

These activities are

further supported by a boat ramp and docks whereby even non-waterfront residents

of the

community can

get access to the water. Periodic nautical events are promoted by the

Harbour Heights Yacht Club.

Local wild life includes

dolphins, manatees, and the occasional

alligator spotted within the canals, as well as extensive

and colorful egret rookeries up

the

Peace River.

Numerous local golf courses with access by the public are available within a few minutes

driving distance. The local

community

park provides facilities for tennis, shuffleboard, and

volleyball. Other activities include meetings by the

Harbour Heights

Horticultural Society and

periodic social get-togethers hosted by the Civic Association.

As regards schooling, the Deep Creek Elementary School is located at the western entrance

to HH, while the Punta Gorda

Middle

and Charlotte High Schools are a short bus ride away.

Harbour Heights is a delightful place to live! If you are not already living here, we hope you

will consider becoming a

member of

our community and of the Civic Association!
