Lehigh Acres reminds of one's small-town roots and foretells great things to
come. Rural inland landscapes are giving way to a pleasant mix of amenities.
Low-priced land and housing sell lots like hotcakes to working U.S. families and
retiring Europeans. Close to the coast, yet comfortably affordable, Lehigh
surprises as a Southwest Florida find. Lee Boulevard whisks residents to and
from I-75 and metropolitan Fort Myers in minutes. National retailers and
hundreds of mom and pop shops gather and flourish. Local services complete the
picture, from schools to churches, manufacturing to financial institutions,
daycare to healthcare. Recreation and relaxation mark Lehigh's sunny social
environment. Community golf tournaments, a festival of trees and an annual
come-one-come-all pig roast make you feel happily at home. Town theatre,
concerts and the arts join youth sports and senior entertainments. In Lehigh,
you'll find a fun something for everyone. Big-city cultural treats await you in
nearby Fort Myers and Naples, Florida. Professional theater, barrier island
arts, touring dance troupes and two area symphonies beautify life year-round.
Six universities and colleges nurture students of all ages. Plentiful continuing
education classes uncover talents and light the imagination. A cohesive
community of neighborhoods, Lehigh's year-round population of 32,000 should soar
to 90,000 residents by 2010. Winter brings 12,000 visitors. Will you be among
them? Many like it so well they stay. If you're feeling bound by urban pressures
and yearning for a relaxing change of tempo, Lehigh Acres can make your wish
come true.
