Cape Coral is one
of the largest planned communities in the nation. Founded in 1970, the city was
designed to be a “water wonderland” strategically located between Tampa and Miami.
Cape Coral is a 115 square mile city with 400 miles of canals and fresh water lakes
along the Caloosahatchee River.
Divided into four sections, the Cape is the fifth
fastest growing city in the country.
Most of the commercial and retail outlets are found along three main roadways, Del
Prado Blvd, Pine Island Road, and Cape Coral Pkwy. The Cape is a widely renowned
place to live and is a vibrant and youthful city, where businesses thrive, and life
is rich with educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities.
Cape Coral is home to more than 138,000 residents, 4,000 businesses and the growth
continues. Currently, the growth rate for business is 12 percent.
Cape Coral is the midpoint
city between Tampa and Miami. Almost 75 percent of Florida’s population is within
150 miles of Cape Coral and the city is easily accessible via I-75. The Cape is
10 miles from I-75 and close to U.S. 41. Southwest Florida International airport
is only 15 miles away. Downtown Cape Coral is a quaint district of pastel-painted
buildings, restaurants, shops, and boutiques.
Many of the oldest homes in Cape Coral
were built on the riverfront, only minutes
from the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico. This area is home to the Cape Coral Yacht Club, of which many homes here have "direct gulf access". Cape
Harbor offers a public waterfront with a marina, shops, and award winning restaurants.
Cape Coral’s southwest quadrant is known as the “hot spot.” The Pine Island corridor is known as North Cape Coral. It is a corridor
that links the barrier islands to the mainland. This is one of the up and coming
areas in Cape Coral, with new retail and office
properties popping up in the area daily. |
