Southwest Florida Real Estate
Welcome to Southwest Florida – home to what is best about Florida's Gulf Coast region! Just imagine sun drenched white sand beaches, crystal blue warm waters and soft tropical breezes. That's what awaits you here in Southwest Florida. And, we believe you'll find this beautiful area and its lifestyle choices a wonderful place to live, just like we do.
On our site you'll find the knowledge and resources necessary for exploring the Southwest Florida real estate markets. The best place to start is by learning about the cities in our area and what they offer. Begin your investigation with the southern cities of Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Ft. Myers, and Naples. Then move north to Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, Sarasota and St. Petersburg. Each city has its own natural beauty and ambiance that is so unique to Florida, yet also offers their own special lifestyle that makes them such a desirable place to call home.
Southwest Florida's Coastal Region
Because there are so many beautiful "coasts" in Southwest Florida; we've managed to name them all! Each region offers its own weather, lifestyle, attractions and ambience – some are employment centers, others are still developing, and yet all include SW Florida's beautiful natural surroundings and waterways that attract all our new residents here in the first place.
The undisputed award winner is Southwest Florida's Lee Island Coast which includes Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, Estero, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, and the Islands of Sanibel and Captiva. Its recognition as the leading coastal area in SW Florida comes from an incomparable dedication to protecting the natural surroundings that make it a dream destination.
Immediately south of the Lee Island Coast is Naples and Marco Island – our Paradise Coast. Naples has long been established as the "Crown Jewel" of SW Florida with its 5th Avenue shopping, artists, world class resorts, mansions, and famous residents.
Traveling north from the Lee Island Coast is Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda and the Cape Haze Peninsula which includes Boca Grande, Englewood and Gasparilla Island – this Central Coastal area is being rapidly developed as it is where you can still find affordable Gulf access properties available. Then, just a bit further north, are the Cultural & Sun Coasts which include the larger cities of Sarasota and St. Petersburg. Both are employment centers and offer all the amenities of a big city located on the water and a coastline.
