A City Built Almost Entirely on Water

Cape Coral was not always here. It started as a planned community in the late 1950s. Before that, the Calusa people lived on this land and even carved a canoe canal across the peninsula.

Development later erased that old canal, but the modern canal system it inspired still shapes the city today. Today the canal network stretches over 400 miles, more than any other city on Earth. Canal type still drives price more than almost anything else.

Why So Many Buyers Choose Cape Coral

About one in five residents here live in Cape Coral only part of the year. These seasonal residents, often called snowbirds, come down to escape colder winters up north. That seasonal pattern affects rental demand and how fast homes move at different times of year.

Cape Coral has also drawn attention for its economy, not just its scenery. Forbes ranked it the top city in the country for future job growth in recent years. Business Insider separately named it one of the best cities to start a new business. Growth like that brings new buyers who want to live close to where they work.

Outdoor Life Beyond the Canals

Cape Coral is not only about boats and water views. Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve covers about 365 acres of trails, kayak launches, and birdwatching spots. The city also has more than seven golf courses, many open to the public.


It is also home to one of the largest burrowing owl populations in Florida, with about 1,000 nesting pairs. If you buy a vacant lot, ask whether owls are nesting there before you plan any construction.
