About Cape Coral

Cape Coral has more than 400 miles of waterways, with 222 miles of saltwater canals and 156 miles of freshwater canals. It is a boaters dream especially since many of the Cape Coral canals provide access even direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Of course, we have other Florida luxuries too, such as golf courses, parks and beaches.

Cape Coral was built in the 1960’s by two land speculators by the name of Rosen Brothers who believed that the property’s location on the Gulf Coast provided abundant sunshine and almost endless opportunities for waterfront living. The Rosen Brothers pre-platted this land to approx 350,000 residential sites. Our standard build-able size lots consists of 2 lots that are approx 10000 SqFt (80×125) Some lots are bigger. The City was incorporated in 1970 and it’s population grows every year! Cape Coral is the 3rd largest city geographically in the state of Florida and is the 11th largest city in population.

The city is a large peninsula on the Gulf Coast of Florida and is bordered by the Caloosahatchee River on the east and Matlacha Pass on the west. The city is located about 2 Hours south of Tampa.

The year-round weather in Cape Coral and Southwest Florida is very sunny! While our summers are very warm, humid and rainy, the winters in Cape Coral are absolutely beautiful.
