Hurricane Risk
Southwest Florida is prone to hurricanes, and Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers in 2022. The Category 5 storm was the costliest in Florida’s history and brought widespread damage to the area. Westminster’s inland location provides protection from stronger storms, but Lee County still recommends that homeowners elect into the National Flood Insurance Program. “Lehigh Acres is on the rise,” says Lisa Vagner, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Fort Myers. “More homebuyers are considering Lehigh Acres a safer neighborhood for hurricane season.”
Recreation at The Club at Westminster
