Last week, we saw how there are several lesser-known, but amazing places for SWFL real estate. While you might not hear about these spots as often as places like Siesta Key, for example, they still represent affordable living in paradise. And in Southwest Florida, that’s what it’s all about… living in our own paradise. On the one hand, we have some of the best beaches in the world right at our fingertips. On the other hand, we have numerous other outdoor amenities, not to mention a budding food and entertainment scene. So, today, as your premier Southwest Florida Realtor, I’m bringing you three more places that are perfect for SWFL real estate.
Holmes Beach
Even though you may not have heard of the Holmes Beach area, I promise that it’s well worth a look. This little spot is nestled between Ana Maria Island and Bradenton Beach, and it’s something else. The shores are pristine, the people friendly, and there’s one more thing I love…. You’re just a short drive to places like Bradenton and Sarasota. This means that you can enjoy the beachside lifestyle, even as you have access to shopping, dining, and many other amenities. Also, while this area does get its share of tourists here and there, it mostly stays off the radar of the big crowds.
Longboat Key
Just down the road from Holmes Beach, there’s also Longboat Key. As a tiny strip of barrier island along the Southwest Florida coast, this one is pretty easy to miss. Yet, it boasts beautiful boardwalks to the sea, quiet communities, and attractive SWFL real estate. Here, just like Holmes Beach, you’re not far from Bradenton and Sarasota, and everything they offer. With only about 6,000 residents, this tiny island is a retreat that can be your own little paradise. Plus, you’re not far from the shops and dining in Holmes Beach and Ana Maria Island going north. When you head south, you’ll find St. Armand’s Circle for even more shops and dining close by.
North Cape Coral
Finally, for our lesser-known, but equally amazing areas for SWFL real estate, we have North Cape Coral. Now, we’ve seen how central Cape Coral is known as the Venice of the United States, with all the water access for boating and fishing. But as we turn north in Cape Coral, we find an area that has plenty of cost-effective lots and new construction that’s attractive and still connected to it all. Plus, in the next 5 or 10 years, it’s incredibly likely that these homes will increase greatly in value.
