Moving to Ft. Myers area...looking for housing (Cape Coral, Naples: gated, condos)

[dlfargher]

Moving to Ft. Myers area to work, could anyone kindly suggest the best areas to move to? One adult. Doesn't have to be in Ft. Myers. Prefer not to be too far from ocean. Looking for an apt/condo/house. How is Sanibel Island? Thank you for your time ! I appreciate your help.

Estero is a very nice area, just south of Ft Myers and north of Naples. We live in a gated community and are looking to sell our 2 bed/2 ba plus den corner until condo. Very nice. Let me know if interested.

Sanibel???? Are you rich????? Only the wealthy live there...

Do you have a job lined up yet? If not, you will have a hard time finding one. Hope you have reserves you can live on until then. If time and money allow, you should come down and scope the area yourself. Ft. Myers is large and the more south you go, the more expensive it is, including the beach areas and outter islands, even in these times. Especially for an Adminstrative type position, you will be surprised at the salaries to what you can afford in the way of housing. Be careful.

You can't touch property in sanibel unless you are very wealthy. But if you love sanibel, try the Mcgregor Iona area. There are great condos and houses all over the place and it's right by the sanibel bridge.

McGregor-Iona is nice and by Sanibel. Also look at SW Cape Coral as it can have great habor views and is just across the Cape Coral Parkway bridge to McGregor-Iona. Sanibel can be expensive, and as it is an outer island can have more evacuations in hurricane situations compared to inland more.
