Cape Coral Gated Communities
In recent years, gated communities have established a strong presence in Cape Coral. Gated communities represent a major housing evolution as the Cape was originally subdivided into individual house lots in the 1960s. Many of these communities are located in the northern and western sections of Cape Coral, which gained convenient access when Veterans Highway was opened. Cape Coral has several outstanding developments and residents enjoy the amenities and security of these deed-restricted, gated communities.
