Waterfront living is a real possibility in Cape Coral, Florida! Over 400 miles of both freshwater and saltwater canals meander through this coastal city, giving residents plenty of options for living on the water.
But as Cape Coral condo owners know, being situated on the coast does come with risks – even if your building isn’t on a canal. Protecting your assets with quality condo insurance is key to your peace of mind.
Understanding your risks is essential to getting the right coverage for your situation. In this article, we take a look at some of Cape Coral’s top perils, how those risks impact costs, and how we work to keep condo insurance affordable in Florida.
Let’s get started!
What risks do Cape Coral condo owners face?

Our condo insurance can help you if your condo is damaged by severe winds, fire, theft, or vandalism, as well as several other perils. However, most condo policies don’t apply to flood damage, but you can address your flood risk by purchasing separate flood coverage.
How risks impact condo insurance premiums
The risks we mention, particularly the weather risks, can cause high condo insurance premiums in Cape Coral to increase. Any time there is an elevated risk for property damage and insurance claims in a particular area, rates are usually higher.
But not everyone pays the same premium. Your condo insurance premiums also depend on characteristics unique to you and your building. Other factors that impact condo insurance costs include:
-
The age of your building.
-
The value of your personal belongings.
-
Your insurance score.
-
Your coverage selections.
