Cape Coral, Florida Area DemographicsCape Coral, Florida real estate is located near the Gulf of Mexico on a peninsula at the mouth of the wide Caloosahatchee River, on the river’s north bank a few miles west of Fort Myers, which sits on the river’s south bank. The city is separated from the gulf by barrier islands, including Pine Island, Sanibel Island, Captiva Island and Cayo Costa Island (Useppa Island). Matlacha Pass separates the mainland from the barrier islands and is a national wildlife refuge that is popular with boaters.
Situated south of Tampa Bay and Sarasota and north of the Florida Everglades, Cape Coral is the largest city in southwest Florida, with more residents than the older cities of Sarasota, Naples and Fort Myers.
Cape Coral has a population of 140,010 (2005 U.S. census estimate), an increase of more than 25 percent since 2000. With 115 square miles of land, Cape Coral ranks third in area among Florida cities, behind Jacksonville and Tampa. Cape Coral is part of the Florida Suncoast region, which stretches from Tampa to Naples along the gulf coast.
Fort Myers is the county seat of Lee County (population 544,758), which grew by more than 100,000 residents in the past five years, an increase of more than 24 percent, making it the 63rd fastest growing county (by percentage) in the nation.
Anyone with a taste for the sea and the sun will find it hard to resist the Cape Coral area, where striking sunsets and seemingly endless beaches with spectacular shelling and looming lighthouses draw both residents and visitors all year long.
Cape Coral’s balmy climate produces 90-degree days in summer months, but the average high in January is a comfortable 70 degrees. With the moderating influence of the gulf, freezing temperatures occur less than once per year on average. In August, 2004, Hurricane Charley smacked Lee County, causing extensive damage. The next year, Hurricane Wilma battered a wide area just south of Fort Myers all the way to Florida’s east coast.
Cape Coral, Florida History and CultureCape Coral, Florida real estate is a primary example of the state’s amazing growth. Founded in 1965 and incorporated in 1970, Cape Coral began as the vision of the Rosen brothers, 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. 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.
The city of Cape Coral features thousands of waterfront residential properties on canals, including many with direct, saltwater access to the Gulf of Mexico to the west and Charlotte Harbor to the north. The supply and affordability of these waterfront sites makes Cape Coral one of the most attractive communities on the Gulf Coast.
Cape Coral has witnessed profound changes during its history, which spans more than 10,000 years of human habitation, based on the discovery of ancient Indian mounds throughout the area. Spanish explorers landed north of Fort Myers near Sarasota almost 500 years ago. But unlike Fort Myers, which was originally built in 1850 and incorporated in 1886, Cape Coral is an upstart community that has quickly established itself as a wonderful place for families and retirees as well as a major tourist and recreational destination in Florida.
Cape Coral, Florida Attractions, Activities and AmenitiesCape Coral, Florida real estate provides unlimited opportunities for its residents and visitors. Whether you are interested in the arts, sports or a leisurely stroll along the beach, Cape Coral can accommodate you.

Everything from nature hiking to upscale shopping to just plain relaxing can be found on nearby Sanibel Island and the 20 miles of pristine, white, sandy beaches which comprise its shore. The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife refuge on Sanibel features 278 species of resident and migratory birds, observation towers, a wildlife drive, hiking and canoe trails, as well as fishing and crabbing. Shell collecting, or “shelling,” on Sanibel is considered world class. Water sports, including fishing and boating, are extremely popular.
For almost 70 years, Fort Myers has been famous for its professional baseball spring training.
