Live in Trafalgar

No public body draws a Trafalgar neighborhood. The name comes from Trafalgar Parkway and the two Trafalgar schools inside, and real-estate sites draw it their own ways. This guide is sixteen of the Gulf American Corporation's plat units, as the City maps them, west of Chiquita Boulevard from just south of Veterans Parkway up to Embers Parkway and out to Old Burnt Store Road, with the gated Sandoval, Lee County's own polygon and a guide of its own, cut out of the middle. The 2020 census counted 9,017 residents in 3,677 homes on 3,752 acres; the city has grown about 22% since.

Much of it is new. The City's parcel layer gives 1,598 of the 4,799 built parcels a certificate-of-occupancy year of 2020 or later, 407 in 2023 alone, and 1,512 parcels are still vacant lots. Nearly all of it is single-family houses on the plat's own lots.

The water is mixed. The parcel layer puts 758 lots on salt water and 891 on fresh. The salt lots are on two of the City's five navigation systems: 463 on SW-A, on the side where the City's Burnt Store Boat Ramp launches onto the North West Spreader and Matlacha Pass, and 295 on SW-B. Three bridges over salt water inside the line have clearances of 5.6 to 9 feet, and this guide has not traced which docks clear every bridge to open water, so it claims sailboat access for no lot. The freshwater lots have no route to the Gulf.

So is the exposure. FEMA's maps of November 2022 put 2,495 of the 6,311 parcels in a special flood hazard area, two in five. Lee County puts 2,637 residents in evacuation zone A, the first ordered out and often for any named Gulf storm, and 6,069 in zone B; 861 live in the City's Coastal High Hazard Area. Ian came ashore on Cayo Costa on 28 September 2022 with a maximum surge of 6 to 9 feet above ground at the river mouth, by the National Hurricane Center's account, and no layer read here records which streets took water. In the flood zone, repairs costing half a building's value bring it up to current flood rules.

The pipes have not reached everywhere. City water is available at 5,723 parcels. The 561 along Embers Parkway in the North 4 extension area, 356 of them built on, are on wells and septic tanks, and the City's map gives North 4 no date and no assessment; its latest areas, North 1 West and East, cost $33,367 and $32,288 a standard lot prepaid. The Cape Coral Breeze reported North 3's estimates at $35,264 and $41,029 before a 28 September vote this guide did not read. Many of the rest came in through North 2, at $18,032 prepaid, and an unpaid installment can still be on a bill.

No price index follows these units. Zillow's typical value for ZIP 33991, home to 8,243 of the residents, was $359,005 in August 2026, down 2.9%, but it also holds Lake Kennedy and Sandoval. At 15.3806 mills for 2025, thirteen levies and no fire district, a homesteaded buyer at that figure owes about $4,886 a year on the base exemption amounts, a landlord $5,522, plus about $1,063 of City fire, stormwater and solid waste assessments for 2026-27 that no exemption touches. Save Our Homes resets on a sale. The arithmetic is on the Cape Coral page.
