Metro Park attractive to investors
Metro Park is a central Fort Myers community with a mix of multifamily homes and commercial space. Developed in the late 2010s, it’s one of those areas that seemed to pop up overnight. The cost and newness of units make it attractive to investors, especially seeing as more than 80% of the community rents. “Sometimes low prices mean high HOA fees, but those aren’t bad there either,” says longtime Fort Myers resident Laura Vance, a Realtor with Robert Slack. The neighborhood is bound by several main thoroughfares, including its namesake Metro Parkway, which provides a direct route to the industrial hub south of Fort Myers. The neighborhood is also less than 5 miles from downtown, making it a convenient spot for those living and working in the city.
Metro Park has commercial parks with office space and work spaces for companies.

Snowbird season traffic in Fort Myers
Although nearby LeeTrans bus stops provide public transportation, most use personal vehicles to get around the city. Vance emphasizes that traffic patterns are quite different in the summer versus winter when snowbird residents arrive in droves. “In season, traffic doesn’t get as bad as Naples’s, but you should give yourself at least an extra 15 minutes compared to what your GPS says.” Metro Park is 3 miles from downtown, Interstate 75 and the closest hospital, Lee Memorial Hospital. Southwest Florida International Airport is about 15 miles away.
