Simple Life’s corporate roadmap includes a sizeable Charlotte County phased community marketed near the Punta Gorda / Burnt Store workforce corridor—with resort-style clubhouse programming similar to Lakeshore Oxford. Until a dedicated subdivision micro-site stabilizes, use the developer’s community locator plus recorded plat filings for fidelity.

Pads & tenancy snapshot

Leasehold cottages with bundled amenities dominate Simple Life economics; underwriting should mirror Lakeshore playbook with Charlotte County infrastructure surcharges researched independently.

Regional business press documented hundreds of pads on long-cycle approvals—expect marketing updates as phases release.
