Welcome
to Lehigh Acres, an ever changing and diverse community
of approximately 45,000 residents who have exchanged
their more structured lifestyles in other states,
other areas in Florida and around the globe for the
enviable quality of life here.
One
of Florida's fastest growing communities, Lehigh has
doubled and tripled in Housing Permits over the past
18 months. Many of Florida's leading developers see
Lehigh as the next Cape Coral.

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 at Bonita Beach, Ft. Myers Beach, Captiva
and Sanibel Islands. The Caloosahatchee River stretches
north and east to Lake Okeechobee, from which boat enthusiasts
enjoy a direct channel west to the Gulf of Mexico and
east to the Atlantic Ocean and north to mid-State Florida. |

Acres is situated on the highest ground in Lee County,
ranging from 27 to 30 feet above sea level. 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. The average annual temperature is 74
degrees Fahrenheit, with summer highs in the low 90's
and the winter lows in the high 40's. Sunshine warms
the days from December through March. Summer showers
cool the air, keep the landscape a lush green, and nourish
an amazing variety of blooming plants and shrubs. |

Many
of the early settlers brought their best traditions
with them and established new ones. They formed
local chapters of national organizations, created
clubs and civic groups, and built a strong sense
of community spirit.
In
addition to a state of the art 88 bed fully accredited
hospital, superior rated congregated living and
nursing centers, and five modern schools,

Many
vacationers who explore Lehigh Acres return to settle
here. The lifestyle is a casual and a welcome change
from the hustle and bustle of larger urban centers.
