Charlotte Ranchettes
Agricultural zoning allows residents to do what they want with their properties
Buyers in Charlotte Ranchettes can purchase existing homes or plots of land to build their dream estates. Land in the neighborhood is divided into 1.25-acre parcels, so most lots are 1.25 or 2.5 acres. The neighborhood has agricultural zoning, meaning residents can use their properties not only for residential purposes, but also for farming and small businesses. “A friend of mine bought a piece of land and put a manufactured home on it,” LeClair says. “He put in a steel building where he did music video shoots and rented it out as a space where you could go record music videos, and that’s because of the zoning.” Buyers in the neighborhood tend to build bungalows or new traditional homes. Recent sales prices range from $50,000 to $150,000 for 1.5- to 2.5-acre parcels of land and from $285,000 to $365,000 for already built homes. “As far as acreage goes, they’re pretty affordable for being that close to town,” LeClair says. Charlotte Ranchettes has a 1 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, below the national average of 4.Students attend a top 20 Florida school district

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
