 Cape
Coral was built about 40 years ago
by 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. At 114 square miles, Cape
Coral is the second largest city in the
state of Florida. 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. FBI reported Cape
Coral to be the 2nd safest city in Florida
with a population Between 75,000 and 125,000.

 The
City incorporated in August 1970, and its
population continues to grow rapidly. With
more than 100,000 residents, Cape Coral
is one of the fastest growing areas in Florida.
Cape Coral is the 2nd largest city geographically
in the state of Florida and is the 12th
largest city in population. The city features
thousands of waterfront residential properties
on canals, including many with direct, saltwater
access to the Gulf of Mexico and Charlotte
Harbor. The supply and affordability of
these waterfront sites makes Cape
Coral
one of the most attractive communities on
the Gulf Coast.  One
of the most attractive features of Cape
Coral and Southwest Florida is its terrific
year-round weather. The area averages
335 days of bright sunshine each year
(the other 30 days are just moderate sunshine).
While the summers are very warm, humid
and rainy, the winters in Cape Coral are
absolutely beautiful. Southwest Florida
receives about 53 inches of rain each
year, the majority of which falls from
May through September. During the summer
months, afternoon rains regularly roll
in with heavy downpours and stormy conditions
that may last only a couple of hours before
subsiding. Then the sun reappears, heat
and humidity return, and all is well until
the next day when the cycle begins again.
