Fort Myers, also known as the 'City of Palms,' is located in Southwest Florida along the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. With white, sandy beaches and a relaxed vibe, the city encourages you to take in all it has to offer at your own pace.
From beaches and parks to outdoor activities, such as sailing, cycling and deep-sea fishing, you'll find plenty to see and do here. Fort Myers' near-tropical climate encourages residents to spend as much time outside as possible.
Renting in Fort Myers gives you easy access to Naples and nearby Sanibel and Captiva islands. Fort Myers is a very bike-friendly city, so many commuters and residents choose to cycle from place to place. Commuters also hop on the LeeTran bus lines or drive the major thoroughfares, which include the Sanibel Causeway and the Midpoint and Cape Coral Parkway/Colonial Bridge.
Prices of apartments for rent in Fort Myers hover right around the national average, so you'll get a decent amount of space for your money. If you want the sand and surf of a beachside community, without the sky-high rents of some of the more popular tourist cities, this could be a great fit for you.
