With fantastic views of the Caloosahatchee River, Downtown Fort Myers is everything you love about Florida with an urban twist. As Lee County’s commercial hub, the downtown area is home to a variety of offices and government buildings. It is also home to Centennial Park, a riverside park that is home to the Downtown Farmers Market. As a hub for the arts, Downtown Fort Myers features the ArtFest Fort Meyers, the Fort Myers Film Festival, the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center, and the Florida Repertory Theatre. Several of Florida’s favorite beaches are located just minutes from downtown, including Fort Myers Beach, Sanibel Island, and Captiva Island.
When you rent in Downtown Fort Myers, you’ll be living where legendary magnates such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Harvey Firestone spent their vacations in the early 20th century. In fact, much of the community remains occupied by beautifully preserved buildings and homes well over a century old (the Edison and Ford winter estates are now among the most popular attractions on the waterfront). Amid this timeless setting, you’ll find a thriving urban atmosphere, with brick-paved streets and palm trees adding unique character to the city blocks full of cafes, nightlife hotspots, galleries, specialty shops, and theaters. Whether you’re starting your day with a fresh cup of coffee at Green Cup Café, catching a performance at the legendary Arcade Theatre, or enjoying the nightlife at the 86 Room, you’re sure to find your new favorite hangout (plus plenty of honorable mentions) just a short walk away from home.
