Lee County community with access to many amenities without the high price tag
San Carlos Park, about 20 miles from downtown Fort Myers, is a mostly residential community surrounded by amenities, including big shopping centers, large parks and a university. “A lot of people have been displaced from Naples because of the home prices, and they are moving to this area. The market has just exploded here,” says Timothy Blackford, a Realtor with Premiere Plus Realty who sells throughout Southwest Florida.
Florida Ranch style homes are quite common in San Carlos Park.
San Carlos Park has a variety of home styles.

Suburban streets lined with ranch and new traditional style homes
This area features winding suburban streets lined with single-family homes. Older ranch-style homes are most common, along with new traditionals built after 2000. Front yards are often landscaped, while some backyards feature pools. While the median price is about $375,000, Blackford says, “Generally, you’re looking at a range of $300,000 to $500,000 for a single-family home.” This is much lower than nearby Naples, whose median price for single-family homes is about $850,000. Other home options include a small selection of manufactured homes and townhouses. The median price for townhouses is about $230,000. A perk of living in San Carlos Park is one that many of those living in Florida don’t get. “There are no HOAs like a lot of southwest Florida communities that restrict what you can do with your boat or your home,” Blackford says.
San Carlos Park is a traditional suburban neighborhood with single family homes on private lots.
