Cape Coral In The News...Again

Wow, our city is once again receiving some of the highest rankings in the country. So what is all the big news?

After the nation-wide real estate debacle of previous years, the page has turned and now Cape Coral is getting continual top recognition from a wide variety of highly recognized media and organizations. At the end of last year, the National Association of Builders even rewarded Cape Coral the title of Most Improved Florida Housing Market. Whether its business, lifestyle, friendliness, real estate come back, growth, or retirement - Cape Coral ranks ahead of the crowd and as one of the top places to be.

Just in the last few months, Forbes placed Cape Coral on the top 200 list of Best Place for Business. Forbes also confirmed last year's Money Magazine's recognition of Cape Coral as one of the 25 Best Places to Retire in the nation. We even beat well known Florida cities like Fort Lauderdale and Miami and numerous other household names across the country. Considering that there are about 30,000 cities and municipalities around the country, it is not small news that we keep getting chosen as one of the best.

If you think that the Forbes reporters and researchers are biased, think again, because in 2012 Cape Coral also earned the honor of Best Mid-Sized Florida City for Job Growth from New Geography. Check out our website for our long history of top spot recognition. And the next time someone asks you why you opened your business here in Cape Coral, you can tell them about some of the advantages of our city as a natural fit for work and play!

I hope you have found this interesting.
