Venice - South Venice - Nokomis - Osprey

Venice

Venice is not separated from the Gulf ocean by any barrier island. Preserving the original character of Venice, the city created the Historic Venice District and an Architectural Review Board to ensure that new construction or modification of existing buildings conform to the northern Italian renaissance style of the city's original architecture. Designation as a Florida Main Street City by the state further assures that Venice's heritage will be preserved

South Venice

Just beyond the Venice city limits lies South Venice. It is conveniently located on US 41, also known as Tamiami Trail and is a center for shopping and light manufacturing. This area is expanding and includes Manatee Community College’s South Campus, the new Venice Health Park, as well as many beautiful housing developments and golfing communities.

Nokomis stretches east from Casey Key to Interstate 75 and offers elegant residential neighborhoods, shopping, and all the amenities of today’s lifestyles. Breathtaking waterfront homes are tucked amid natural splendor along the miles of shoreline of the Gulf.
