Edison Park Multifamily Home for Sale

Historic Edison Park is a classic old Florida community of stately single-family homes located south of downtown Fort Myers. Named for famed inventor Thomas Edison, who vacationed here in the 19th and 20th centuries, this neighborhood is sought after as much for its location as its vintage vibes. “The market is pretty steady here. You’re close to everything -- downtown, schools, Lee Memorial Hospital,” says Realtor Brehna Hovland of Hovland Realty, who has more than 5 years experience in southwest Florida. “That’s really all there is to it, the historic charm and how convenient it is,” says Re/Max Realtor Adam Sheets, a Fort Myers local with over 10 years experience. Prices in Edison Park start at just under $300,000 for midcentury ranches and quickly rise to about $1.2 million for large estate homes in styles like early 20th-century Mission, Spanish Eclectic and Monterey. “All of the houses have a lot of character. Not one of them is cookie-cutter, so there’s a lot of charm,” Sheets says. Edison Park’s 10- to 20-foot elevation means it is one of the few Fort Myers communities not in a flood zone. “It’s close to the water, but not too close,” Hovland says. The Lee County Public
