North Fort Myers, Florida 

Area Information

The unincorporated community of North Fort Myers is often referred to as the "Gateway to Lee County."

Stretched along the Caloosahatchee, just northeast of Cape Coral and across the river from Fort Myers, the community's 40,000 + residents enjoy a variety of lifestyles from waterfront living to golf course communities, and everything in between, North Fort Myers is home to the historic Shell Factory, ECHO, Waltzing Water Show and the Lee County Civic Center where County residents can take in concerts, festivals and a variety of trade shows throughout the year.

The weather. The Summer's are HOT in the 90's and the Winter's just right in the 70's! During the winter the low may be between the 40's to the 60's! During the summer's we get a lot of rain, but it doesn't last long! Just enough to cool it down a little!

No Income Tax in Florida. While our property taxes may be a little on the high side, at least compared with previous years, one thing you don't have to pay is income tax. That's a savings! Also, our sales tax is only 6%.

Affordable Housing. Yes, there is affordable housing now. In the last few years speculators helped drive up prices, but the market has been in a decline this past year. Now is a good time to negotiate bottom prices. Could prices still drop? Who Knows! Sellers are very negotiable right now so you could possibly find some great investment opportunities. So as they say "Don't miss the boat!"

With kids in tow the Shell Factory Fun Park, just south of the US 41 fork, is a great way to keep everyone happy. It has activities for the entire family including shopping, miniature golf and bumper boats, a petting zoo and botanical gardens.

Education. Locally, our schools are rated based upon performance & you have school choice so you can choose a school in your zone based upon your preferences. You no longer have to attend a specific school because of where you live.
