I would like Cape Coral to change with the Road, Bike, and Pedestrian Safety! There are a number of car crashes that occur every month that I have already lost track. Pedestrians are not safe even with areas with sidewalks, nor are bicyclists. The School District of Lee County could do a better job with the lunch offered in the public schools and the availability of service in their offices. The housing could be better if they understood how to make the neighborhoods more appealing. On the other hand, you will find family-friendly neighborhoods almost anywhere! The parks are beautiful and are almost always clean.
Cape Coral is a very large town. It is very safe and is growing in population every single day. Cape Coral is known for having the most canals in the country. Would I would like to see change in Cape Coral is the amount of things to do. It is an elderly centered town so there is not much to do for families. However, more and more families move to Cape Coral so maybe that will change in the near future. Cape Coral is a fairly safe area, but some areas are just not as nice looking as others, which is okay depending on what time a person you are!
Cape Coral is an okay place to live. Not much to do as far as night clubs, bars, and good restaurants. It has also gotten to be very expensive in recent years, housing in particular. Just for a new construction 3 bed/2 bath 2000 sqft house, you will probably be spending around $400,000 and that is most likely with no pool and not canal front. Another thing I’m not crazy about is that it is very far from the interstate. Job opportunities are not great within the city as well. A good thing about Cape Coral is that it is a relatively safe place to live for a city of its size. Another good thing is that it is a very ethnically diverse city and is getting even more diverse as the years go on. Also, if you love boating, Cape Coral has tones of canals, but probably only about 1/3 have access to the gulf. But again homes on gulf access canals are very expensive.
