The different quadrants in Cape Coral

What are your specific needs and wants when searching for a home in Cape Coral FL? There is a familiar question we often get what is the difference between the 4 quadrants in Cape Coral? If you are new to the area or are searching online for a new home, this concept can be really confusing. Cape Coral is divided into 4 quadrants South West, South East, North West, and North East.  Each quadrant has its own distinct attributes, and qualities that makes it unique and special.

South East Quadrant

This is the first developed area in Cape Coral and is considered the heart of the city by most. It is positioned on the western bank of the Caloosahatchee River, with convince to Ft Myers Beach and Sanibel Island by way of the Cape Coral parkway toll bridge. SE Cape Coral’s first homes were built in the late 50’s and early 60’s, these original homes are usually smaller but don’t lack in old Florida charm and impressive native landscaping.  This area of Cape Coral is also highly sought after by water enthusiasts for its convenient and unrestricted water access; meaning any size vessel can easily maneuver through the canals, gaining quick access to the river and Gulf of Mexico. In the SE Cape many of the original homes, have been replaced with large lavish estates.  This and the fact that the utilities are in and paid demand some of the areas highest real estate values.

South West Quadrant

SW Cape was the second area to be developed.  It is the only quadrant that has access to the Spreader canal (spreads water from the canals through the mangroves) and is bordered by a beautiful preserve full of wildlife and native vegetation. 

Because SW cape is a relatively new area, it is full of large new homes and beautiful gated communities.  SW Cape does also have a lock system in place which allows easy access to salt water; it does however limit the size of vessel.  Water lots are either situated on fresh (no gulf access) or salt water.  The fresh water canal system is what you desire; it will lead you through a chain of canals and fresh water lakes that is optimal for fishing and taking in beautiful natural habitat.  Most of SW Cape Coral has the utilities in place; however some homes may carry a balance. 

The communities  and areas located in SW Cape are:

Cape Harbor

Emerald Cove

Tarpon Point

Sandoval

Pametto Pines

Heatherwood Lakes

Trafalgar Woods

North East Quadrant

The NE Quadrant is a relatively new area that is full of new construction and vacant lots ready for development and room for growth.   It is full of superstores such as Home Depot, Wal-Mart, Target and many restaurants; chain and local located on Pine Island Rd.   More major development is planned for the future, but for now there are plenty of services available for the residents of this area.  If you are a boater this area may not be a right fit for you. All canals and lakes in this area are fresh water; the Gulf of Mexico is not accessible from this area. Most homes in this area do not have utilities in place, hence the less expensive real estate values.  If county life is what you’re interested in, this quadrant has acreage available but still in close proximity to all the amenities.

Isles of Porta Vista

Coral Lakes

North West Quadrant

This area of Cape Coral is located with convent access to areas such as Pine Island, Matlacha Pass, and Charlotte Harbor.  If you are a boater and need direct access to salt water there is an area in the southern tip of this quadrant for convince.  In addition to direct access, this area also has fresh and salt water lots.  In this area you have easy access to Burnt Store Marina, an upscale boating and golfing community as well as Coral Oakes golf course. 

The city utilities have not been extended to this area yet, the homes will be on well and septic, which will require a water system and ongoing maintenance. In this area there is a large inventory of new construction homes, available at all price points.

The differences between Cape Coral canals

Cape Coral FL is a water lover’s paradise; there are more than 400 miles of canals in this area ready for fishing, boating, relaxing and fun. 

If you are unfamiliar with our area and the differences in the types of canal front homes it can be confusing as to what type of canal property will suit your needs.  What is the proximity to the river? The Gulf of Mexico? The ease of navigation?  Salt water or fresh
water?  It can be really confusing and hard to understand. 
Here are the differences below.

Gulf Access:

Direct Sailboat Access: direct often refers to sailboat access, and is the most desirable of the Cape Coral waterfront choices. These types of properties are in high demand and that is reflected in the greater asking price.  There are no bridges to contend
with so the size of your boat isn’t a factor.

Not Direct Access:

The difference is the time it takes to actually navigate to the river.  Some are quick and take just minutes, others are full of twists turns and no wake speeds that take more than an hour to actually reach open water.   

Gulf Access with Bridges:

There are bridges in your route to the river that have size restrictions. The bridge height restrictions DO accommodate most boats, but if you plan to have a sailboat or an extra large model this type may not be suitable.

Fresh Water Canals:

These canals are often for aesthetic purposes only. They have a great view, but no access to navigable waterways. These types of canals are not meant for major boating. Some of these canals do lead to a string of lakes that allow personal water crafts, and fishing boats.

Whatever your boating needs one of these canals can be right for you, if we can help answer any of your questions or help you find your dream home we would be happy to help.
