Apartments for Rent in Buckingham FL

One of the few rural communities left in rapidly urbanizing Lee County, Buckingham sits about 11 miles east of Fort Myers where farmland, stables, and open fields still define daily life. Large lots separate neighbors, quiet roads stretch into the countryside, and the pace here is noticeably slower than the metro just down the road. Palm Beach Boulevard keeps residents connected to the Fort Myers waterfront, while Interstate 75 provides quick access to the broader Cape Coral-Fort Myers area.

The housing stock matches the setting: ranch-style homes and contemporary bungalows on multi-acre lots that are for rent, plus newer subdivisions like Remington Oaks and Buckingham Park offering Mediterranean-influenced estates and traditional rental homes. There is no dense high-rise rental market here; this is a community of spacious, spread-out properties with a few apartment communities among the rental homes.

Florida Gulf Coast University's Buckingham Center brings an academic presence to the area, and the Historic Buckingham School stands as a reminder of its long-standing roots. Bordering the community, Manatee Park draws visitors and residents alike with paved trails, kayak rentals, an amphitheater, and reliable manatee sightings.
