Reasons to Invest In a Cape Coral Waterfront Home

If you have money to invest in real estate, don’t sit on it. In the Cape Coral region of Florida, there are all sorts of investment options available, the longer you wait the less there will be! The following are just some of the reasons to make Cape Coral the first choice for the location of your new home:

 

1. Family-friendly neighborhoods

Owning a home in Florida is no longer just for people who are retired, Cape Coral is more family friendly and growing with younger families like never before. The crime rate in this town is at the lowest it has ever been. With almost 100 schools ranging from preschools, to public and private high schools Cape Coral is continuing to grow to support future generations. Clearly, any family will find Cape Coral to be both safe & educationally diverse enough for a home. Not many towns in the wider Florida a crime rate lower than in Cape Coral. Cape Coral also has many parks and is very close to Big Pine Island for weekend family trips to explore the natural beauty of Florida’s Gulf Coast.

 

2. Incredible Year Round Weather

When looking for a home for your family, one of the things you should consider is the climate of the area. While seasons can be nice, nobody likes shoveling snow or having the risk of black ice when driving to work or school, in Cape Coral we have a moderate subtropical climate. This means you can go to the beach year round, I have personally spent Christmas on the beach with my family building sandmen. There is no better feeling than hearing about your friends freezing up north while you’re spending a day at the pool or beach with your family. You will enjoy the elaborate network of  Gulf access canals that make this a fairly unique location to live. There are not that many places where you can buy a home with easy access to the Gulf of Mexico for a decent (arguably low) price tag. The canals move between rows of houses and drain into the Gulf of Mexico. The direct access canals are big and clear enough to allow boating using bigger vessels. If the ocean doesn’t interest you as much, freshwater canals are also very common throughout Cape Coral. If what you want is some water in your backyard or a place to go boating, paddle-boarding, and/or kayaking, homes with canals are very easy to find in Cape Coral.

 

3. Numerous Recreational Activities

How do you like to spend your leisure time? In Cape Coral, you will find all sorts of recreational activities such as golfing, fishing, and boating. But these are just some of the activities you can do in Cape Coral. Cape Coral is an integral part of the Gulf Coast of Florida. This means relaxing on a calm, sandy, and sunny beach is just a short drive away and is one of the many reasons to buy a home here.

Cape Coral is home to Sun Splash Family Waterpark where you can have a fun family day by going on rides such as, the log flume, tube rides, water slides, splash pads, and pools. At night, you can head off to the local theater where plays and musicals are performed.

For those who like boating, you can row your kayak right through the magnificent mangroves, or launch your own boat from your own backyard with a Gulf access canal. These are just a handful of the possible day to day activities available in Cape Coral.

 

4.  Southwest Florida Wildlife 

Florida is unlike any other state in the US when it comes to its unique wildlife. Cape Coral is a great representative of what Florida has to offer. Nowhere else in Florida will you encounter as many burrowing owls? In fact, there is a dedicated Annual Burrowing Owl Festival hosted by the Cape Coral Friends of Wildlife.The climate in Florida is sub-tropical, which is the reason lizards and iguanas thrive in Cape Coral. These kinds of wildlife can be seen virtually everywhere including the flower gardens, vines, atop trees, and in bushes. You don’t have to be afraid of them, given that they are harmless.

Alligators and crocodiles (yes, crocodiles, while very rare Florida does have a native species of crocodile) also call Southwest Florida their home. They inhabit the freshwater ponds, canals, bays, lakes, and marshes. It is incredibly easy to get a good view of the wildlife as they float on the water or bask in the sunshine. To avoid injuries to both yourself and the wildlife, you need to be extra careful whenever you are out on/in the water.Another kind of wildlife you will find in Southwest Florida are snakes of all types. While some of these snakes are venomous, you are safe as long as you avoid them however, interactions with snakes (especially venomous species) are few and far between. If you want to learn more about these snakes you can by visiting the Conservancy of Southwest Florida.
