The "Gulf American Land Corporation" was founded in 1957. It was created to develop the land owned by the brothers Leonard and Jack Rosen (they bought it for a total of $678,000). Fallow land and pastures were intersected by hundreds of miles of canals. In 1958 the first houses were built and the city grew rapidly. The Rosen brothers sold 350,000 building sites within a very short time. While the properties on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River cost between $3,000 and $5,000 at that time, investments today range from $650,000 to $950,000 - with an upward trend. Several bridges connect the up-and-coming City of Cape Coral with Fort Myers - just a stone's throw from Fort Myers International Airport. Detailed information about the history of the City of Cape Coral can be found on our vacation website.

One of the many ways the developers enticed potential residents to come over to the Cape for a look-see was to build a tourist attraction, Cape Coral Gardens, with hopes that some of the tourists it attracted would then buy a home and stay.

Cape Coral Gardens opened its gates in 1964 and included porpoise shows, a rose garden, animal exhibits, and Gunter Przystawik's "Waltzing Waters" dancing fountain shows.

You too can enjoy Caribbean flair and a relaxed lifestyle in one of our vacation homes during the most beautiful time of the year. Many of our vacation homes are located in the exclusive southwest part of Cape Coral, not far from the luxury homes in the Cape Harbour marina.

Cape Coral is one of the fastest growing cities in the United States, with one of the lowest crime rates in Florida. It is expected to have 400,000 inhabitants in 2030 at the final stage of the strategic plan (currently there are about 190,000 inhabitants as of 2019). In the course of medium-term urban planning, a "Downtown Cape Coral" concept was developed - an investment worth billions. Further information can be found on real estate Cape Coral. The prospects for growth and price increases in Cape Coral are therefore excellent. No wonder, every American dreams of retiring to Florida or at least owning a vacation home down here.
