Cape Royal 

 The history of Cape Royal, intertwined with Realmark's endeavors, showcases the dynamic growth of Cape Coral, where luxury and lifestyle meet amidst the backdrop of Florida's serene landscapes. The area's evolution, marked by Realmark's influence, continues to attract residents and visitors alike, drawn to the blend of high-end living and the tranquility of coastal life.

Cape Royal, a distinguished community within Cape Coral, Florida, has a rich history that mirrors the dynamic growth of the region. Conceived in 1983, it was envisioned as a haven of estate-sized lots and homes nestled among water features, preserve lands, and a championship golf course. The development of Royal Tee Golf Course began with the construction of ponds and the grading for the Royal Tee Golf Course in 1984, marking the start of what would become a highly sought-after residential area. By 1985, the first custom homes were built, and the lots were actively marketed, setting the stage for a thriving community. 

Over the years, Royal Tee Golf Course has faced challenges, including changes in ownership and the economic impacts that have affected many Florida communities. However, the resilience of the community is evident in its success story. In 2016, when the golf course faced closure, the residents banded together to secure the future of their community's centerpiece. 

Their collective efforts led to the acquisition of the property by Realmark, renovation of facilities, and the reopening of the golf club as Cape Royal, which has since flourished. Today, Cape Royal stands as a testament to community spirit and the enduring appeal of the Florida lifestyle, offering a blend of recreational activities, natural beauty, and a strong sense of community. It continues to be recognized for its excellence, having been named the “Best of Cape Coral” for Community and Golf Course in consecutive years. This community's journey from its inception to its current status is a compelling chapter in the broader narrative of Cape Coral's history, which began in 1957 with the vision of the Rosen brothers and has grown to become one of the fastest-growing areas in the country.
