Pine Island is a 17-mile-long stretch of land west of Cape Coral that includes the communities of St. James City and Bokeelia, with the community of Matlacha being just east, on a smaller island. This Island is typical of "old Florida," lifestyle, laidback and slow paced,and people are taking advantage of the lower prices in the real estate market to buy homes in this natural environment.

pine island: Foreclosures and short sales are not necessarily better deals - 11/01/09 02:09 PM
My area of Lee County, covers cities among others such as Cape Coral, Fort Myers, Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel, Pine Island 
and we know foreclosures and short sales. After all we are one of the counties with the highest percentage of Bank owned properties.
   
In the last year, as the average price of a home in Cape Coral and Fort Myers was pulled down by the flooding of short sales and foreclosures, we have seen of course, terrific deals for buyers, including auctions.

pine island: Is it art or great craftmanship? - 10/03/09 03:57 PM
 
  There are many ways to beautify a home or give it that personal touch. These piece were shot from Matlacha, Fort Myers Beach, Pine island and Cape Coral and  Floridians certainly don’t lack imagination.
Some exterior decorative pieces are plain whimsical, others tell something about the owner and others add this Floridian touch. What is beautiful is personal. There are no rules. One thing it does do is tell a story. Is it  southwest Florida art?
You be the judge. But then what is Art?

pine island: Where Is Old Florida? - 04/26/09 02:34 PM
You will find it on Pine Island, for one place.  The entrance to Pine Island is the artistic community of  Matlacha.  St. James City is located the southern end of the Island and Bokeelia on the northern tip facing Charlotte Harbor. Definitely not Sanibel or Captiva and still wonderfully free of the glitter and glam, the gated golf course condominiums and the strip malls.St. James City was established in 1885 by a group of sun-seeking New Englanders who brought their spruce-and white pine from Maine.  The oldest survivor in Bokeelia dates from 1904 and today houses a restaurant, Cap'n Con's.  Cap'n Con's has been the … (1 comments)
