Review of Fort Myers Flor,


Home Values/Prices
Star Rating - 6/13/2005
The average home price in Fort Myers is much higher than listed here, $99,000 (though I did read the note that the prices indicated are from 2000). I live in the City of Fort Myers and purchased my modest 2BR/2BA home in April 2001 for $82,000. Comparable homes in this area are now selling for over $200,000. Within the last six months, one home down the street sold for $221,000 and one around the corner sold for $210,000, both vey similar to my own.

Overall in Lee County, the average price is now $275,000 - $300,000 for a standard 3BR/2BA/2GAR home.

First of all, no one is ever happy where they live. Fort Myers is like any city...good and bad parts. They are everywhere even in lovely Naples! Cost of living depends North to South Fort Myers is completely different. Jobs yes I have one & it's six figures so it depends on if you have a degree or not, just like most places. Hertz is building a high headquarter so that will make plenty of jobs available. It is sunny and beautiful everyday in SW Florida & we were voted the top best beaches in the country! Bonita Beach barefoot beach is always number one! I absolutely love living in this area and my 3350 sq ft home, I would have a much harder time affording in NY. And BTW with my large home utilities with 2 Ac units blah blah run $60. A month- that is it! I have no idea where 200-300 came from lol, don't believe everything you read!
