REASONS TO LIVE IN CAPE CORAL

• Over 400 miles of canals weave through the city tying together backyards, the Caloosahatchee River, lakes, canals, and of course, the Gulf of Mexico.
• 300 plus days of sunshine-need I say more? if there is one thing I don't miss it is the cold weather and all that comes with it: snowblowers, sweaters, shovels, boots, etc..
• It is an amazing city, built out of the dreams of two brothers, Jack and Leonard Rosen, who had to bring in the world’s largest shipment of excavation equipment to help design this water wonderland. It is also a young city, the first house was built in 1958. Cape Coral is only about 33 percent developed with 100 square miles of city land, making it the second largest city by land mass in Florida.
• Beaches-Cape Coral has the Yacht Club beach, a simple, friendly easy access beach on the Caloosahatchee. Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel Beaches are just 20-40 minutes away.
