Cape Coral Waterfront Wonderland
Home to many boat enthusiasts, Cape Coral is a city of saltwater and freshwater canal homes and condos. And it’s the Cape Coral canal homes, condos, and parks that attract so many newcomers and is why CNNMoney voted Cape Coral FL one of the best places to retire in the nation, earning the #2 spot out of 25.
Most people buying Cape Coral real estate now are not ready to retire, but are purchasing Cape Coral waterfront homes or Cape Coral waterfront condos (or off water properties nearby) now while the prices are low and setting up a vacation home to enjoy now, for retirement later. Wise move.
The city of Cape Coral, Florida emerged in Southwest Florida during the late 50’s and 60’s, mostly as wetlands and has now grown into Lee County’s fastest growing city, as well as one of the safest cities in the nation. City officials estimate that the Cape’s current population is more than 132,000. Many of these residents are part time snowbirds that have purchased a winter get-away in this sunny city.
