Homes there can be very differents and ecclectics. There are several spanish style mansions on the water and typical floridian style houses as well. Also, lots of older properties, build in the 70's and 80's sit on the dry lots off Orchid Boulevard and go for about $375,000 up to $450,000.

This Neighborhood is truly a paradise for boaters with Great Gulf Access and the ability to handle just about any size style and length of boat. The only limit on height I see would be around 51 feet which would be the bridge clearance at the Cape Coral Parkway Bridge that connects Cape Coral to Fort Myers. That's the only bridge to pass under to the gulf of Mexico.

I know this is nothing to do with Real Estate. But you know how much I love animals. And since I’m in Cape Coral now, I had to tell about the owls. I use to prospect everyday in Cape Coral so I see lots of these birds using empty lots for their nests.

I was searching online for more info about them and found that the burrowing owl is one of Cape Coral’s most remarkable species of wildlife. With one of the largest nesting populations in the state of Florida (and the continued pace of residential development), the City of Cape Coral has a tough challenge ahead to maintain enough habitat to support the burrowing owls.

Aptly named, the owls seems either create new or make use of abandoned burrows to live in and nest. They stand approximately nine inches tall and weigh roughly four ounces (online sources). Active both during day and night, they can often be seen either peering out of their burrow or standing atop the small mound of sand over it. It’s truly an amazing scene to watch. And seems to be protected by law.

I took the picture above myself, but you may google for better pictures. They are beautiful birds. OK, enough said, let's get back on track and see if there is a homeowner who can use my help down the road :-)
