Hi Meg
Not sure if you are still looking but we are selling our 3 bed 2 bath pool home in South Ft Myers, the Iona/McGregor area. The location sounds perfect for you, near the beaches, close to shopping, restaurants, churches, hospital library etc. We have a large yard in addition to the pool area and great sidewalks in our neighborhood to walk our dog. There is a ton of properties to choose from, but it sounds like our area is tailor-made for you!

Meg,
My husband and I are in our 70s and have a second home in Sun City Center, Florida, just south and east of Tampa. it's a fantastic community, not only easy to drive around and with nearby stores of every variety (home improvement, huge CVS, new giant Walmart, big Publix,etc) but one is also permitted to drive a golf cart on the streets within the community of Sun City Center. There are golf courses, a softball field, bocci ball, tennis, pools, . . . the list goes on and on but definitely a nice fenced in dog park. The price range of $250-300,000 is perfect for a lovely large 3-4 bedroom newer home.
I'm a Realtor in Michigan but have many friends in real estate in that area. I would be happy to refer your parents to someone. I'm easily reached at 800-923-3245. Barbara

Hi Meg,
I work the Fort Myers, Bonita Springs area as well as the rest of Lee County and yes you can fine something nice in your price range. I can also give you access to the MLS for all the area through Listingbook for you to search. Would you like to be near the water or would you prefer a golf course. Please check out my website.

Try looking in the Venice area....smaller, quaint, easy beach access with designated dog beach, less traffic during the season and loads of activities for seniors. There are some terrific deals here that could save your parents a lot of money. Check out our website

Hi Have you thought about Cape Coral? It is a very nice and quite community, great for elderly as they have a wonderful seniors center with activities. It's also very family friendly. You can get quite a bit of house right now for 250k to 300k. I would be happy to send you some properties over the internet and go out and take photos of neighborrhoods etc if you are interested. Check out my website and feel free to contact me if you see anything you like or have any questions. www.nancydrealtor.net
Have a great day,

I work all of Lee county and north Collier......You seem to be asking about Estero. Actually....the community I have in mind has a ranch 4 bed 2 bath 2 car garage available with almost 2300 square feet. Across the street is a Publix(grocery), 2 minutes down the street is the Library and the Brand new Estero Community Park with a dog park. The area is in between Naples and Fort Myers and is 10 minutes to the Southwest Florida International Airport....It also has more shopping than any area in all of Florida per square mile.

Please email me and I will begin to send you some of the homes available via e-mail and in particular the one home I think fits the bill off the top of my head. I look forward to hearing from you.

By the way I actually went to high school in Farmington.....gorgeous area......COLD in the winter though!

Hi Meg,

I would actually suggest looking a little further north of Ft Myers in Port Charlotte or North Port. North Port has a great library and there is a dog park about 20 minutes away in Venice. There is not much traffic in North Port and has a brand new Home Depot, Publix and WalMart. They could get a very nice home in the $250,000-$300,000 range.

Please contact me to discuss the properties available and I can send them by email.
