Hit the nail on the head. Great if you like a quieter style of living, Punta Gorda is very cheap to live and not bad for a family that doesn't want to deal with the "chaotic" bigger city life.
Punta Gorda is expected to grow too so that should motivate ya a bit.
But yeah probably the toughest to commute out of.
