Fort Myers is Lee County’s urban and employment hub, combining River District dining and nightlife with established neighborhoods and growing suburbs. It suits people seeking city services, sports and culture, major healthcare systems, 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.
