Oh I wish 58,000 people left.

Unfortunately only 8k or so have left so far.... I say let them leave and in with fresh blood (maybe some people under 90 wouldn't hurt either).

My opinion is you need to visit a place 3 times and feel that it's the best for you. Personally I visited Lee county for many years along with a lot of other places in Fla before I bought in the cape. A lot of friends have also moved there from other places in Fla. and beyond and feel the same. I don't regret landing there. I am also looking at more commercial and residential properties. I am comparing the cape to a lot of other states and cities and feel that it shines above others in quality of life, cost to own and now cost to buy. You don't need to get impulsive. There are and will be for a long time many available properties. If you research it well you will be comfortable with location and price. The better the location in your requirements mean higher price. Sunshine, water access, fishing, get to anything in 10 minutes or less, business opportunities all are good. The doom and gloom reports reflect faster and higher rise in values and faster and lower falls. Thats not a bad thing, just a condition righting itself, not unlike the rest of the world. There is a reason the Cape went from 30,000 people to 160,000 in 17 years, and it's not a bad one.

Are you still looking for a waterfront in the Cape? I have 3 I own that are for sale right now. 2 in the Southwest 1 in the Northwest. PM me if you want the addresses.

Thanks

Where in Indianpolis are you? We are on Geist Reservoir on the NE side. Have a vacation home in Punta Gorda on the canal ways. We also have about 200ft of waterfront (on a corner lot). We love it, plenty of room for out 48ft sedan bridge and 38ft Formula

Well we closed on a house today. After spending some time in the Ft Myers area this past winter we did settle on a home in SW Cape Coral just like many had suggested. Our home is on SW 54th Ter, just up the Street from Rum Runners in unit 64. Thanks everyone for all the unput. I think we are going to be a lot happier in this home than the one we were looking at last fall further up the river.

One thing though, we brought our jet skies down and were out on the water enough to figure out that it's a whole lot different boating down here than what we are used to. I think before I bring the Fountain down that I had better spend some time on the water in a slower boat until I get to know my way around. I was at first thinking a 22 to 24' bow rider would be the way to go but then others have said to go with a CC or deck boat with an egg beater. What do you guys use to get around when you are not in your go-fasts?

Thanks,


Robert

"my" ugly-betty tri-toon! everyone loves it! we can pull it right up on the beach and not worry about docking, denting, scratches etc. total stress-free boating vs. the go fast boat!

pokerrundiva

sorry the "my" might seem strange but thats how we refer to it - "his" spectre and "my" U-B toon as a joke!

oh one more thing about boating here - just stick to the sticks and you'll be fine till you get to know the spots - one inch away can be disasterous at times - esp. in miserable mile.
