In just five decades, Cape Coral has developed into one of the largest cities in Florida. It has come far in its brief past, and will continue to improve and blossom into a vibrant urban city where people of all ages live, work, shop, be entertained, and enjoy the city's tropical lifestyle.

Cape Coral’s location on Florida’s Gulf Coast makes it a natural fit for work and play. Money Magazine ranked Cape Coral as the “6th Best Place to Live” out of 300 metro areas in the United States (July 2006). We’re famous for our great value in waterfront property and competitive cost of living. Newer homes are available for under $100,000.  

Cape Coral provides a remarkable diversity in housing, ranging from affordable apartments to luxurious waterfront mansions and gated golf communities. The majority of Cape Coral's homes and communities offer lavish swimming pools and extensive space for open air entertaining. Most of the city’s housing stock is single-family homes, and most of them are owner-occupied. Our newest communities, Cape Harbor and Tarpon Point, offer carefree, luxurious waterfront-condo living. 

The city’s landscape is laced with 400 miles of navigable canals – some leading to the Gulf of Mexico. This provides waterfront living throughout the city. Many properties offer a boat dock in their backyard. The city offers an impressive quality of life due to its outstanding climate, excellent health service, affordable real estate, relaxing tropical lifestyle, and competitive cost of living. Cape Coral is home to progressive education facilities and extensive parks and recreation facilities.
