Best hidden gems in Fort Myers
Longtime lurker here, I'm a college student here and It's a a smaller city city with about 91,730 people. Homes are going for about $351,600 on average. Median household income is $62,160, which feels about average for the area. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
Pros:
- Friendly people
- Low crime in most areas
- Diverse community
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Cold winters
- Rising rent prices
- Sprawl everywhere
- Boring for young people
