Rotonda is the largest community located in the Englewood Florida area. Rotonda West has obtained the "Sustaining Florida Community" title in 2000 from the Governor. The community of Rotonda is a large residential community with 6,500 homes on about 20,000 acres at the southern end of the Cape Haze peninsula. Comprised of a number of subdivisions, homes in Rotonda were erected based on their location. The inner circle of Rotonda includes homes that are only 1,600 square feet or larger, and the outer circle has only homes 1,200 square feet or larger.The original plans for Rotonda by the developers were to build a separate golf course for each of these subdivisions. There are six golf courses, including four operated by Rotonda Golf and Country Club and two by Pinemoor Golf Club. Thirty miles of picturesque canals, lakes and ponds wind through the community and offer fishing and boating opportunities for its residents. Many exotic and beautiful birds call Rotonda West home, as it is a designated Bird Sanctuary. Nearby recreation facilities, beaches, theaters, sporting events, and fine restaurants are available for all. Clubs, activities, and many volunteer opportunities abound for those who wish to become involved. Rotonda West Community has a website: www.RotondaWest.org and a Community Events Calendar Close to the beach, spoping and restaurants
