Living in Cape Coral, FL

Cape Coral is a sunny town in southwest Florida. Located along the Caloosahatchee River and just a few miles from the Gulf Coast, it was originally founded in the 1950s as a planned community. Today, it's one of the fastest-growing towns in the U.S., attracting renters from all around the country with its beautiful weather and waterfront scenery. Cape Coral's economy is growing, as well, with many local renters working in real estate and construction to accommodate these new developments. This city is also a particularly popular place to rent among nature lovers who enjoy the close proximity to wetlands and beaches. There are also many unique species of flora and fauna in nearby nature preserves, as well as places to go boating, hiking, biking and more. Plus, there are family-friendly cultural activities for renters to explore, including the Cape Coral Museum of History and performances at Cultural Park Theater. Downtown Cape Coral also has a growing collection of restaurants with a particular focus on seafood.

Cape Coral's allure is also found in its community-oriented lifestyle, with numerous family events and local gatherings that take advantage of the sunny climate. The town is known for its festive atmosphere during seasonal celebrations, such as the Cape Coral Festival of the Arts and the Holiday Boat-A-Long parade. The city's park system, including the Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve, provides residents with ample green space for recreation and relaxation.

Renting in Cape Coral, FL

Cape Coral offers renters a quiet, suburban environment. Unlike many other cities of its size, Cape Coral doesn't have an urban core. Instead, the downtown area consists mostly of strip malls. Meanwhile, residential areas are primarily comprised of single-family homes for rent, although there are also some mid-rise apartment communities concentrated around major arteries. In particular, many retirees rent in Cape Coral due to the area's warm weather, so you'll find many apartment communities geared toward older adults. Notably, many rentals in the area are white or brightly colored buildings with Mediterranean revival architectural details. There are also some rentals that feature mid-century modern architecture and date back to the town's inception. What's more, most rentals have access to plenty of outdoor space with huge yards and even pools. Cape Coral also has a large canal system.

To that end, Publix is the largest grocery chain in the area, but you'll also find Walmart Neighborhood Market and Aldi locations. There are also many Caribbean and Latin American markets in the area. And, on Saturdays, local renters can head to the Cape Coral Farmers' Market to check out fresh local produce.

Transportation in Cape Coral, FL
