Cape Coral in Cape Coral Florida

Because the vast, 60,000-acre sprawl of Cape Coral requires flood-controlling canals that crisscross every residential area, Cape Coral real estate agents can market just about anything as waterfront, even the narrowest canal or the smallest freshwater pond. But on or off the Caloosahatchee River, values for Cape Coral waterfront have increased since the 1990’s. The most expensive Cape Coral communities, including gated, private preserves and individual homes, face the Fort Myers shore a mile across the river. Wide canals also thread through the area, flowing into the river and often raising property values. The Rubicon, the Bimini and the Antigua are the widest and most prestigious Cape Coral canals and the most expensive.
