24/7 Wall St (April, 2016) listed Cape Coral as one of the
“happiest cities” in the country. In recent years, it has
become an especially popular destination for those wanting
an escape from northern winters. The area’s population has
grown by nearly 82,000 in the past five years, one of the
largest expansions anywhere in the country. Residents
have many reasons to be happy; unemployment and
violent crimes are less in Cape Coral than across the state,
and the average cost of goods and services in the metro
area is lower than it is across the state and the country.
One of the most attractive features of Cape Coral and Southwest Florida is its terrific year-round weather. The area
averages 265 days of bright sunshine each year. The summers are very warm, humid and rainy; the winters in Cape Coral
are absolutely magnificent!
