Cape Coral is the largest city in Lee County with a population of approximately 160,000 residents. It is Florida’s third largest city by land area with 115 square miles and is the 11th largest city in the state by population. More than 400 miles of salt- and fresh-water canals have earned the city the name, "The Venice of America," offering abundant and waterfront living for residents. An active community, Cape Coral has something for everyone: golf, tennis, fishing, community parks and even Sun Splash Family Waterpark. The past few years have seen tremendous growth in the business and residential communities. Reasonable labor costs, available land, workforce and quality of life will continue to fuel Cape Coral’s growth in the coming years. The city is a large peninsula on the Gulf Coast of Florida and is bordered by the Caloosahatchee River on the east and Matlacha Pass on the west. The city is located about 90 minutes south of Sarasota and about 60 minutes north of Naples.

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. 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.

One of the fastest growing areas in Florida

The City incorporated in August 1970, and its population continues to grow rapidly. With more than 160,000 residents, Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing areas in Florida. Cape Coral is the third largest city by land area in the state of Florida and is the 11th 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.

The city is a large peninsula bordered by the Caloosahatchee River on the east and
Matlacha Pass on the west. It is located between Sarasota and Marco Island.

Cape Coral also is one of only three cities in Florida that does not have public services
taxes. This results in considerable savings for residents. The public service tax charged by other cities can range up to 10 percent and is based on consumption of electricity, water, telecommunications, and bottled or metered gas.
