There exists a special small-town charm amongst the traditionally styled homes that define Boca Grande’s Historic District. The Historic District homes represent authentic “Old Florida” architecture at its best, with the construction of many of these residences dating back to the old railroad days on Gasparilla Island and construction from the early 1900’s to the 1950’s. This area is the heart of the island, and homes are often within walking or golf cart distance of the quaint charm of the old commercial village.
