Fort Myers offers far more than one type of Florida lifestyle. Buyers can choose established neighborhoods near the Caloosahatchee River, waterfront and boating communities, golf and country club living, gated developments, downtown condos, newer construction and residential areas throughout South Fort Myers.
The right place depends on more than the house. Location, boating access, association and club costs, insurance, flood considerations, commute patterns and how you plan to use the property can all matter.
