Depending on where you're coming from, living in North Port will be either everything you hoped, or it will take a bit of getting used to. If you're coming from a large city with a lot of hustle & bussle at all hours, North Port is going to sound and feel like everything has slowed down. In reality, it hasn't. It's just a lot quieter. Give it a week and you'll get used to the peace.
If you're coming from anywhere other than a big city, you'll feel right at home pretty quickly. The one thing that you'll find is that almost everyone comes from somewhere else.
