Is This What Its Really Like To Live In Cape Coral Florida?
Living in Florida is not for everyone....living in Cape Coral Florida is a whole other experience. Cape Coral is a wonderful city to enjoy the Florida lifestyle. A ton of outdoor activities and so much water that you really can't get bored easily. However, there are some challenges that come with that. You may have heard about the Cape Coral Real Estate Market in the news. Yes, real estate in Cape Coral is different that other areas, but it is usually less expensive and there are more options than in many other areas of the state. Sit down and listen for a few as we discuss some of the good and bad of living in this tropical paradise.

In 1979 Dad and I built a house on SE 12th St, off Del Prado. It was my parents primary home. My wife and I lived in Nevada. Mom passed 4 years ago @ 91 Dad 3 years ago @ 92. I sold it last Nov. We had many good years in Cape Coral and a lot of very good times. I miss my good friends still there after all these years. I worry about them.

[@Maximum1A]

First let me say this was a GREAT AND INFORMATIVE VIDEO. THANK YOU CRAIG 👍👍 When my wife and I were looking to move to Cape Coral 2 1/2 years ago first place we looked was NW Cape because at that time that was where the vast majority of new homes were being built. We only wanted to buy a new home. We quickly learned about the assessments and the fact most of most of the area was going to go through that sewer & water construction nightmare. So retargeted our search to Southwest Cape. SO GLAD WE DID! As an aside, my flood insurance company was Superior Flood not only did it cover the house but ALL CONTENTS it was only &575.00 per year. Unfortunately, they pulled out of Florida so I had to go with FEMA this year which costs $4,000 per year thanks to their new Equity Pricing!

[@JackKnight-jk8hx]

Anyone who bought in that area knew full well that water and sewer would eventually be installed. My understanding is that homeowners do not pay up front but the city amortizes the bill over a number of years. Having water and sewer also increases the value of the home.

[@livinginfortmyersflorida]

I agree with all of your statements..... if they bought through me. I'm not sure that all buyers knew fully well what the timing of those assessments was going to be. I give an expectation and the buyer decides.

[@Randy-st9lb]

i just wish entering cape coral on the cape coral bridge didnt look like north korea. from the bridge to del prado all on both sides of the parkway needs to be torn down and updated.

[@TheKouellette77]

As always Craig, great video with an honest and genuine insight, on how things are progressing in Cape Coral. BTW that walk to the boat house.. 😅 😂 I’m sure some one will figure out a way to provide the 100 yard transportation. I’ll take the walk. 👍🏼

[@livinginfortmyersflorida]

The overflow parking down there is currently even further away and people make the walk. I will guess a trolley of sorts may be a possibility... or people can go somewhere else... lol.

There was a point in time when Crap Coral was an affordable alternative, much like golden gate was for Naples residents, after all the same developer. But now, yikes. Currently the inventory in the Cape is approximately 1,000 percent higher than it was in 2001. And if I was asked why I believe that to be the case I would say, A) price and B) lack of buyers. Basically somewhere along the timeline people forgot who their core buyers were. The same way that city hall forgot who their residents were. Best of luck.

[@Press1for]

Karen......lol.....

[@PostMasterNick]

I'ts funny how they colored the water in the yacht club "beach" photo blue - a tea color would have been more appropriate. There are no beaches in Cape Coral.

[@jared9962]

I'm curious with how "The Cove" will turn out.

[@dennishowland7495]

, but I think that they need to bring in companies that actually make stuff and they can ship out. I’m in the trucking industry in Florida is terrible for fright I think they need to concentrate on bringing in jobs that most people able to do manufacturing produce stuff and Cape Coral apartment Building renting is not gonna help the people may help the city

[@aaronbonatz8378]

I literally had to move back to NJ just to even be truck driver. No mega carrier would hire me since i was to far out and no freight comes out of FL.

[@tty3146]

@10:35 all the new houses in the video can withstand cat 5 hurricane? There is one house with flat roof. Is that more resistant to hurricane?

[@livinginfortmyersflorida]

That all have to pass the same standard, so yes, built to Miami Dade code... cat 5 resistant!

[@13juleslucky13]

I'm looking at a new build by Pascal Construction, moving from AZ and work remote so I'd love to hear about the new home you're trying to sell and details about assistance with assessment, etc.

[@michaeljoos9753]

Is the any concern regarding sinkholes? Heard that north of Clearwater sinkholes became a concern because of groundwater being used up, emptying underground limestone caverns, less support for homes above. Any concern in Cape Coral area?

[@livinginfortmyersflorida]

Sink holes are very rare in SWFL. The area they are found is north of us.... up by Tampa.

[@RenySouthCarolina]

Great content. Poor Kevin…hope he is able to sell his house!

[@DogWater2011]

I could be totally wrong but when I see the housing market that became super super hot to include the car market getting affected drastically, inflation, high rates, u.s debt through the roof, multiple wars happening at the same time, and the stock market exploding hitting record highs because of AI, in my experience something bad usually happens. Like I said, I could be totally wrong but my experiences tell me to be very cautious. Time will tell 🤷‍♂️

The horrible water coming down the river ruined our experience in Cape Coral, so we sold. It sounds like they are about to dump more crap and it is all coming through Cape Coral. If you line to be on the water, DO NOT chose the Cape !

[@livinginfortmyersflorida]

Once again, these kinds of blanket statements are irresponsible and inaccurate. Not all waterfront is affected and there are new measures to reduce the affects to riverside properties. If you want facts, Call, text or email....Let's talk!

[@jeffreylyon8323]

Every city goes through this.

[@Markham12thcentury]

No, most cities have the basic amenities AS they design neighborhoods - not 53 years later. Utterly corrupted and brazenly done on purpose. Chicago had a more advanced water system in the 19th century than Cape Toilet does in the 21st. (It's because of corruption)

SW of Del Prado and Kismet

[@user-iq9mn6lj6b]

Cape Coral’s been a dump forever! It’s just that whole Fort Myers/Cape Coral/Lehigh acres area that is just not very appealing. Including the people that live there. Back in the 90s they were promoting these areas heavily on TV in South Florida to get people to buy. You can already imagine what kind of people bought. I’m sure the food truck area that’s coming in. Is going to make the area much nicer. Lol. What a dumpster fire

[@livinginfortmyersflorida]

Why on earth would you even comment such trash? You most likely live nowhere near the Cape. I was going to ask what type of person trolls like this to put down hundreds of thousands of people because of where they live. And then, I see you are anonymous with your name.....tells the type of person.... class act....LOL.

@@livinginfortmyersflorida I have no clue? Um, I owned a house in Cape Coral for 13 years. Thanks for assuming.
