North Fort Myers, FL ?s...SM
Posted: Apr 5, 2014
I'm thinking of relocating from New England in the next 1-2 years. My father and stepmother lived at Del Turra for over 20 years, and I visited every year and really liked the place. My father predeceased my stepmother, and she left the house to her niece, so I was out of luck there. Anyway, does anyone in the area know of over- 55 manufactured home developments they could recommend? I'd even consider a condo if the price was right. I don't want to restrict myself to Del Turra, although I am leaning strongly toward it. I've done web searches already but would really like personal recommendations. It is too early to contact realtors directly, as I am going to have to sell my house here first before I know what I can afford. Thanks for any ideas.

[ In Reply To ..]I am planning on moving to the Ft. Myers area in the next year or two myself. Although I won't be able to afford to buy anything, I'd have to rent, I'm curious about rents down there and maybe what areas to avoid.
I googled and found lots of rental info...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]I entered "North Fort Myers apartment rentals" and got lots of information. There seem to be more rentals in Fort Myers and Cape Coral though. I just looked quickly and saw rents in the $600s to $1100 dollar range. Check it out.
Thank you - mt2north
[ In Reply To ..]for the information. I will definitely go online and look at apts in the area.

[ In Reply To ..]I lived there for years. In general avoid the NE Ft Myers area and Tice. The rest of the area including Cape Coral is okay.
Warning though. The summer months are almost unbearable. The humidity is extremely high and the mosquitos are horrific. The summer weather is much more bearable in the central and northern parts of the state.
Ft. Myers - Hatchery
[ In Reply To ..]Husband and I are thinking of retiring to Ft. Myers in 2 years, and sister too. Googling lots of apartments and "apt. reviews" to get the scoop on which are good. It seems a nice one-bedroom is $700ish. I've read about Del Turra and Tara Woods and Solstice Serendipity mfg. home communities and they look nice. Husband is not interested because the land is leased and he said it could be expensive land leasing fees. I said lets take a look at them, because the homes are very reasonable. I loved vacationing a few weeks ago at Ft. Myers Beach. Gorgeous sunsets and powdery beach sand!
Del Turra lot lease...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]The houses are reasonable, anywhere from $29,000 to $100,000 depending on the age of the manufactured home and the shape its in. Lot leases vary a lot too. I saw a few listed in the older parts of Del Turra for between $400 and $700 a month but most are in the $800-$900 range. The last time I was there, 4-5 years ago, the facilities were still beautifully maintained, and it's a gated community.
We'll check out Del Turra! - Hatchery
[ In Reply To ..]Thanks for the great info about Del Turra. We'll check it out next time we go to Ft. Myers. $400-$700 is reasonable, especially without a mortgage to pay. Another friend said mfg. homes aren't sturdy, but they look nice to me. I also was looking at Landmark in Naples -that looked really nice, too.
Another suggestion - nn
[ In Reply To ..]I just relocated back to FL from the Midwest (was gone for about 10 months). NFM is not a bad area, but I would also check out Port Charlotte or Punta Gorda -- smaller areas, but still close to FM. Good luck with your search.
Thanks for the suggestion...SM - Old Anon
[ In Reply To ..]I have spent time in both areas, and yes they are very nice. My stepmother's cousin has/had a house in Punta Gorda, and we used to drive up to Port Charlotte to go the Olive Garden once in a while. There was also an outlet mall somewhere in that area. North Fort Meyers seems to be a good base point for going either north or south for activities/shopping, and I tended to head north more often because there was less traffic and a smaller town feel than Fort Myers. Thanks again.
