Looking at Fort Myers Real Estate? Here’s a Great Place to Get Started

Fort Myers, Florida is home to some of the most scenic real estate in the country as well as a rich history. The sunny Gulf Coast location includes beaches, fishing, shopping, and more. Friendly to families and retirees alike, residents and visitors enjoy touring the winter estates of Henry Ford (The Mangoes) and Thomas Edison (Seminole Lodge).

Fort Myers is also the county seat of Lee County – and most of the county’s commerce is situated there. It’s grown by over 15,000 residents since 2010. Named for Colonel Abraham Myers, the city has its own airport – Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW).

If you’re thinking about moving to Fort Myers with a family, you’ll be pleased to know that Fort Myers Senior High School is ranked by Newsweek as one of the best public schools in the United States.

In addition to Fort Myers real estate, I can also help you with home sales and purchases in:

Fort Myers Beach

Do you crave a beachy experience? Fort Myers Beach may be the right home for you. Notably, pet-friendly, Fort Myers Beach real estate is close to some of the best restaurants in the state, including cafes, ethnic cuisine, seafood, and phenomenal waterfront dining adventures. Grab your dog, cat, bird, and be hungry!

Bonita Springs

A growing spot for small and medium-sized businesses, Bonita Springs is full of history and beauty. Bonita Springs is a top location to consider if you want to move to a location with history and culture, and also still do some business.  

Lehigh Acres

Lehigh Acres is an area shaped heavily by property development. It wasn’t readily developed until the 1950s but had a building boom in the early 2000s, meaning homebuyers have a variety of modern home options with a touch of tradition!  I love this community because it’s great seeing all the growth and there’s always someone new to meet.

Babcock Ranch

Babcock Ranch is environmentally friendly by design: it’s the first solar-powered town in the United States. With lots of farm-to-table dining options and an emphasis on healthy living, Babcock Ranch truly has a personality of its own. WIth farmers markets on every corner and a community that’s focused on sustainability, you’re sure to enjoy not just living healthier but saving the environment as well. Fort Myers Real Estate has been doing really well in this location!

Estero

Did someone say oranges? Estoro has long been known as the citrus community, but now is also known for The Gulf Coast University and is an all-around relaxing place to visit and live. You can golf, shop, work, and even take a boat ride to see some amazing history of the community.  

Sanibel

If you’re looking for a home in Southwest Florida, this just might be the place for you. Sanibel is known for all the beautiful seashells that wash up on shore from the Gulf of Mexico. Life there is so slow and mellow there are even no traffic lights!  Sounds like heaven to me. 

Captiva

Located just off the coast of Lee County, Captiva is a shining gem of a tropical paradise. This island comes complete with a pirate legend of its own. Legend has it that the island earned its name from the pirate captain Jose Gaspar held his captives on the island. Several other tales of shipwrecks and legends give the island it’s exciting history. I would love to lay out on the beach with a book about the history of the island for a relaxing afternoon.

Cape Coral

Cape Coral could easily be the Venice of Florida. Canals cut across the land in even rows, which Cape Coral is famous for. The canals add a charm and sea life atmosphere to the town. Gentle Manatees call the canals home, which is a unique attribute that you will not find in any other city across the nation. Kayak routes lead eager visitors to the Matlacha Pass Aquatic Reserve, a haven for birds and other aquatic wildlife

Trafalgar

Trafalgar is a little town that I like to say is hidden off the beaten path, a genuine diamond amongst the rough wilderness of Florida. Located near Kissimmee, Florida, the Trafalgar region is another little nugget of treasure in Florida. Trafalgar Village is a resort community that is coveted real estate in the area.  

Tom Black Lake

Located just three miles from Cape Coral, Tom Black Lake is one of the highly sought after fishing holes for the avid angler. Come and catch the big one, each time I go fishing at Tom Black Lake, the fish get bigger, or it could be the fishermen stories that make the fish bigger, the biggest I’ve ever seen!

Mariner

Mariner is a little beach community located near Cape Coral, Florida. Renowned for its pristine waters and coveted sandy areas that are perfect for laying out and soaking up the sun all day. This community is perfect for vacation rentals or timeshares, filled with resort amenities.

Burnt Store Marina

Burnt Store Marina has long been hailed as the best marina along the Gulf of Mexico, and it’s with good reason. The Marina features a slew of amenities for the avid boater or sailor. Located on picturesque Charlotte Harbor, Burnt Store Marina features both wet storage and dry storage.Charlotte Harbor is the area’s best-kept-secret. Charlotte Harbor is one of the largest estuaries in the state and offers quick access to coveted waters along the west coast of Florida.  Amenities offered at Burnt Store Marina are varied and offer exclusive members-only perks. On-site management allows for a swift response to your boating storage needs.

Burnt Store

Burnt Store Lakes and Villages offer the kind of lifestyle you have been dreaming of. As a census-designated area that encompasses Burnt Store Marina is part of Lee County and the Cape-Coral Fort Meyers, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area. With avid fishing and boating waters nearby, the Burnt Store Marina, Lakes, and Village are a prime place to live.
