San Carlos Island Multifamily Home for Sale

San Carlos Island in Cape Coral is a small island neighborhood known for its marine culture and tropical lifestyle. Residents often have boats in their backyards, with the beach just a short walk away. The island's population mainly consists of retirees and longtime locals, leading to many adult-oriented community options, such as bars. San Carlos Boulevard connects the island to the mainland, providing access to retail and dining options both on the island and in nearby Fort Myers Beach. The area features beach houses with two to six bedrooms, and while the market is recovering from hurricane damage, it remains relatively affordable compared to Fort Myers Beach. Homeowners should consider hurricane insurance due to the weather risks. San Carlos Island offers natural spaces with beach and boat access, though it lacks typical inland greenspaces and playgrounds. Recreational activities include boating tours and fishing. Dining options include the historic Dixie Fish Company and Bonita Bill's on the waterfront. For groceries, residents can drive to nearby stores like Aldi, Publix, and Walmart Supercenter. Students attend Lee County Public Schools, with Fort Myers High School being highly rated. The neighborhood is walkable, though many residential streets lack sidewalks. A 20-minute walk across the Matanzas Pass Bridge leads to Fort Myers Beach, and downtown Fort Myers is 14 miles away, typically a 40-minute drive.
