Cape Coral, Florida Real Estate
What Kind of Lots?

Gulf Access Lots:

There are two different types of gulf access lots available in Cape Coral. One is called direct or sailboat access. This means there are no bridges between you and the River. Owning a direct access lot gives you the freedom of having a boat as tall as you want with the canal allowing for deeper draft boat hulls. The other type of gulf access is called restricted access and means that there is a bridge between your lot and the River. You are restricted on the height of your boat since the bridges in Cape Coral range between an 8 and 11 foot clearance.

The purchase price of a sailboat access lot is generally higher than that of a restricted gulf access lot. The closer you are to the River the higher the price of the lot.

Freshwater Lots:

Freshwater canals lead to other freshwater canals and lakes within the city, but you cannot travel by boat from freshwater to gulf access canals without pulling your boat out of the water. People purchasing freshwater properties enjoy boating, fishing, wildlife, and fantastic views.

The purchase price of a freshwater lot is generally less expensive then a gulf access lot.

Dry Lot/Off Water Lots:

Just as the name indicates, a dry lot does not have direct access to either the freshwater canals or the gulf access canals.

The purchase price of a dry lot is typically less expensive than both the freshwater and gulf access lots.
