Waterfront living across from downtown Fort Myers
The Waterway Estates neighborhood offers canal views and lakeside living across the river from downtown Fort Myers. Though located near a major city, life here moves at a slower pace. The area especially appeals to those “looking for that type of boating, relaxed atmosphere,” explains Kayla Boyd-Jones of RE/MAX Trend, a Realtor living in Fort Myers and selling properties in Waterway Estates.
Community amenities, El Rio Golf Club and county parks
How residents of the Waterway Estates neighborhood spend their free time depends on the subdivision in which they live. For those living in Moody River Estates, outdoor options like tennis, water aerobics and pickleball are steps away from home.

When choosing a green space, there’s no need to worry about quality. “All of our county parks that you see on the map are kept up with and utilized,” Boyd-Jones says.
