Ah, Fort Myers! Where sunshine is a daily affirmation, and your neighbors are as colorful as the tropical flora. Nestled along the Gulf Coast, this small town is Southwest Florida’s best-kept secret—a paradise for those who want to “snowbird” all year long. Just a stone’s throw from the renowned Sanibel Island, Fort Myers is the type of place where flip-flops count as formal wear and the term “rush hour” is used exclusively for Happy Hour at the tiki bar.
But it’s not all sipping piña coladas and perfecting your tan (although there’s plenty of that). Here, you’ll find some of the most jaw-dropping sunsets, perfect for Instagramming your friends into envy. Picture yourself exploring Thomas Edison and Henry Ford’s winter estates, now transformed into museums that scream, “Hey, even geniuses need a slice of paradise!” In Fort Myers, the living is easy, the fish are jumping, and the housing market is just as hot as our summer days. Come join us; your future self, donned in a Hawaiian shirt, will thank you.
