Cape Coral Florida Real Estate Deals

Cape Coral, Florida was built about 40 years ago
by two land speculators who believed that the
property's location on the Gulf Coast provided
abundant sunshine and almost endless opportunities
for waterfront living.

The Rosen brothers purchased the property, platted
the community and created more than 400 miles of canals.

At 114 square miles, Cape Coral is the second largest
city in the state of Florida.

The brothers began a massive marketing campaign
that resulted in the sale of nearly all of the 350,000
residential building sites, the majority to people who
lived in other states.

One of the fastest growing areas in Florida

The City incorporated in August 1970, and its
population continues to grow rapidly.

With 155,000 residents, Cape Coral is one of the
fastest growing areas in Florida.

In fact, its ranked in the top 10 fastest growing
cities in America.

Cape Coral is the 2nd largest city geographically
in the state of Florida and is the 11th largest city
in population.

The city features thousands of waterfront residential
properties on canals, including many with direct,
saltwater access to the Gulf of Mexico and Charlotte
Harbor.

The supply and affordability of these waterfront sites
makes Cape Coral one of the most attractive communities
on the Gulf Coast.

The city is a large peninsula bordered by the Caloosahatchee
River on the east and Matlacha Pass on the west.

It is located between Sarasota and Marco Island.
