📸 Saturday Snapshot

Every city has a first neighborhood. For Cape Coral, it began near the Yacht Club.

This aerial photo shows Riverside Drive and Flamingo Drive, where Cape Coral’s first eight homes were built. Rather than creating rows of identical houses, the early developers promoted contemporary homes customized to individual tastes, part of their vision for attractive residential neighborhoods in the new community.

It’s remarkable to see just how sparse the landscape was, with a handful of homes, newly built roads, utility poles, and waterways surrounded by largely undeveloped land.

From these first eight homes, an entire city would grow.

Do you remember the early days of the Yacht Club neighborhood?
