Cypress Lake offers a quieter lifestyle and an array of golf courses
Centered around several golf courses and across two dozen ponds, Cypress Lake offers a quieter lifestyle just 7 miles from downtown Fort Myers in southwest Florida. Locals here enjoy a host of nifty amenities under the Sunshine State's palm-laden streets, from strong schools and acclaimed eateries to community parks and shopping options. "We have Rutenberg Park. We have a bunch of shops and dining. There’s a library. There’s all sorts of stuff to do," says local Realtor Jason Lipsher of Re/Max Realty Group, who has been selling real estate for nearly 20 years. "There’s stuff for all age demographics."
Cypress Lake residents enjoy relaxed sunny mornings walking around the neighborhood.
Cypress Lake residents can find several well-equipped golf courses within the neighborhood.

Neighboring the middle school is Cypress Lake High School, which earns an A-minus Niche grade and houses the Center for the Arts, offering programs from dance and theater to media and visual arts. Its athletics program also stands out, producing world-class athletes including NFL linebacker De'Vondre Campbell.

Golfers book tee times at Cypress Lake Golf Club
Golf is king in Cypress Lakes, and locals can hit the green at several courses including Golfview Golf & Racquet Club, Myerlee Country Club and Cypress Lake Golf Club, which has been an area favorite since the early 1960s. Athletes of all ages flock to Rutenberg Park to play tennis or watch their children run the bases. Meanwhile, lovers of the outdoors frequent Lakes Park to kayak or hike along its network of trails. Due to alligators lurking in the water, however, swimming is not advised. Lakes Park also offers a playground, splash pad and the Railroad Museum of South Florida, which features mile-long rides on its miniature locomotive. For live entertainment, Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall and Suncoast Credit Union Arena at the Florida SouthWestern State College campus feature musicals, concerts and dance performances.
Cypress Lake golfers have a selection of clubs and courses available in the neighborhood.

Locals can shop at Market Square or grab a slice from Pizza Pub
Locals can visit a number of neighborhood restaurants after a day in the sun. Deep Lagoon Seafood is an area favorite for its wide selection of seafood staples and views of the water. Residents also enjoy a fresh slice from Pizza Pub, which also serves Italian entrees from chicken Parmesan to fettuccine Alfredo. For groceries, locals often stop by Publix to pick up fresh meats and veggies while Costco sits on Cypress Lake Drive. Market Square also contains a host of retail stores including Target and Barnes & Noble.

McGregor Boulevard connects residents to downtown Fort Myers
Cypress Lake locals are largely car-dependent, though they can catch a ride on the LeeTran bus, which includes stops along Winkler Road and Cypress Lake Drive. To get to downtown Fort Myers, many travel north on Winkler and merge onto McGregor Boulevard, which feeds directly into the city center. Residents can also dock at Freedom Boat Club or fly out of Southwest Florida International Airport, which sits 13 miles east. "I’d say it’s close proximity to everything,” Lipsher says. "It’s 20 minutes to downtown Fort Myers, 20 minutes to the beach and 20 minutes to the airport."
Cypress Lake residents can find public transportation throughout the neighborhood.
Cypress Lake is conveniently only 20 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport.

Residents are wary during hurricane season
Stationed on Florida's Gulf Coast, Cypress Lake is routinely threatened by major storms during hurricane season. Much of Southwest Florida was ravaged by Hurricane Ian in 2022, and while many homes and local businesses have been rebuilt, it's not uncommon to still see buildings with major structural damage.
Cypress Lake is a 20-minute drive from Fort Myers Beach.
Freedom Boat Club is a private mooring and storage facility for Cypress Lake boaters.
