Fort Myers is Lee County’s urban and employment hub, combining River District dining and nightlife with established neighborhoods and growing suburbs. The city has major healthcare systems, sports and cultural venues, and broad housing variety. RSW is convenient for many neighborhoods, while winter traffic affects US-41, McGregor Boulevard, downtown streets, and bridge approaches. River and coastal flood awareness, drainage, wind coverage, and hurricane planning remain important. Public schools are part of The School District of Lee County.
