Lehigh Acres Florida
Just 12 miles east of Ft. Myers and two-thirds of the way down the Florida peninsula; Lehigh Acres offers ponds, lakes and canals. The Gulf of Mexico is just 30 miles west, which means less than an hour to some of Florida's finest beaches. The Caloosahatchee River stretches north and east to Lake Okeechobee, from which boaters enjoy a direct channel west to the Gulf of Mexico and east to the Atlantic Ocean and north to mid-state Florida.
Within the community, residents enjoy year round freshwater fishing, golf at five championship courses, biking, tennis, walking and numerous activities at the various clubs and organizations. Travel to and from Lehigh Acres is easily accomplished on Lee Boulevard and Gunnery Road.
A semitropical climate may be Lehigh Acres' greatest asset. Sunny days are the rule, and temperature extremes rarely last very long. Sunshine warms the days from December through March. Summer showers cool the air and nourish an amazing variety of blooming plants and shrubs. In addition to a 88 bed fully accredited hospital and five modern schools, Lehigh Acres offers expanding shopping facilities, specialty shops and supermarkets. Many vacationers who explore Lehigh Acres return to settle here. The lifestyle is casual and a welcome change from the hustle and bustle of larger urban centers.
