Palaco Grande, Cornwallis & Everest.

North of Savona are the neighborhoods of Palaco Grande, Corwallis, and Everest Pkwy (the general area is noted in the map to the right, and detailed better below). The characteristics of each of these neighborhoods are overall similar to that of Savona Pkwy.  Each is getting progressively further North, so note that they are getting a little further distance to the open Gulf, but realizing that not everybody’s exactly deep sea fishing(!),  buyers may wish to consider this area as it offers a nice balance between lower pricing and convenience- both by car and on the water. Though the neighborhoods are typically a bit older (ex: many homes from the 70s and 80s) they tend to show well. Also, nearly all offer very quick access to the open waters of the river (immediately to the East). Note: At the end of Everest is a public boat launch area, and there’s a marina further to the West too.  All homes in these communities are quite convenient to shopping, a number of restaurants and offer quick access to Ft Myers via either of the two bridges cutting across the river.

Chantrey Canal area.

The furthest spot up the river with unrestricted Sailboat access is the Chantrey canal area.  This location has the lowest priced unrestricted gulf access homes available in Cape Coral. Here you can get the most house for the dollar, as long as you are willing to accept the longer runs.  (Take into consideration that not all boating is necessarily in the gulf anyway. There’s plenty of fishing and relaxing boating to be found in the river itself. If that’s a possibility, take a look at this area). Later model homes from the $400s and 1980s era homes can be found in the $300s.

One of the 2 last sections to mention with unrestricted sailboat access (in Cape Coral) is the Matlacha Pass more towards the Northwest corner of Cape Coral. This area is totally different in almost all respects and requires detailed explanation. Only a portion of this area is unrestricted access, much of the area is behind bridges.  Of the properties that are direct access, the shortest run locations fall into an area called Matlacha Isles. It’s certainly a much older neighborhood and is more lax on restrictions (and conformity of homes), but offers excellent quick boating access.  There are also a handful of properties on the Southside of Ceitus Pkwy that offer new, direct access homes but they come with larger price tags.

One big difference is that heading out of Matlacha Pass takes you up to Charlotte Harbor.  Heading West through Charlotte Harbor provides your gulf access.  You also have the option of heading South when exiting Matlacha Pass and entering into the mouth of the Caloosahatchee River.

Burnt Store marina.

There is one final sailboat access spot to mention, Burnt Store Marina.  This is the very Northwest corner of Cape Coral, due East of Charlotte Harbor. This is one large master planned community with a variety of single family homes, villas, and condos. Here you’d be keeping your boat in the marina as opposed to directly behind your home though. Because this is so far to the Northwest it’s more likely you’d visit Punta Gorda rather than the Cape Coral/Fort Myers area for your shopping and daily activities.  This area is largely seasonal vacation homes for those looking for a getaway retreat.
