Row Houses in Cape Coral
Before they were called town homes, a catchy term used to sell to a new generation of home buyers, they were known as row homes.
Cape Coral officials just might bring the row-home concept back, no matter what it is called.
They would be targeted to workers who don't have the income to buy homes in the Cape's pricey real estate market, but who do make a valuable contribution to the community.
Cape Coral would like to change the affordability of some housing by changing the zoning in appropriate areas to row house. This would allow the teachers, police officers, nurses and others to afford to live there. One way to lower the costs is to allow more homes to be built on remaining available land.
