Lee County

More than 400 miles of canals, four quadrants and the Caloosahatchee River on two sides: Cape Coral is the largest city in Lee County. Start with the water and the quadrant, then the house.

Downtown on the Caloosahatchee, royal palms on McGregor Boulevard and neighborhoods that reach inland toward I-75. Start with the part of Fort Myers that fits your day, then compare the homes.

Bonita Beach on the Gulf, the Imperial River through the old downtown and golf courses inland. Compare the side of the city that fits you before you narrow the house search.

Golf and gated communities around the spring-fed Estero River, with Koreshan State Park and Coconut Point close by. Choose the community first, then work through what the home itself offers.

Bigger lots, newer homes and room to build, inland and east of Fort Myers. Look past the listing photo to the lot, the road and the utilities.

The north shore of the Caloosahatchee, one bridge from downtown Fort Myers, with riverfront streets and room to spread out inland. Riverfront, inland and community living each ask different questions.

Cross Matlacha Pass from Cape Coral into Old Florida: the galleries and seafood restaurants of Matlacha, then Bokeelia, Pineland and St. James City on Pine Island. This is a different map from the Cape Coral canal grid.

Shell beaches, the Ding Darling refuge and a three mile causeway home. Sanibel is its own city, so its beach parks, refuge and utility system are Sanibel records, not Cape Coral records.

A beach town on Estero Island, with the Gulf on one side, Estero Bay on the other and a bridge at each end. The town runs its own Town Hall, utilities and flood office, and we read the elevation and rebuild records for every home you like.
