Located about 30 miles east of Fort Myers, LaBelle is a charming small town nestled on the southern banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Surrounded by vast stretches of citrus farms, LaBelle exudes a tranquil atmosphere amid majestic oak-tree-lined streets.
Renting an apartment in LaBelle means enjoying a strong sense of community, which is fostered by annual events like the highly anticipated Swamp Cabbage Festival. In addition to a small-town sense of community, LaBelle residents delight in the town’s secluded feel.
Although LaBelle feels tucked away, the town offers a wide variety of restaurants and locally owned shops stretched along Main Street and Hickpochee Avenue. Hickpochee Avenue eventually turns into Palm Beach Boulevard, connecting LaBelle residents to nearby Tice as well as Fort Myers.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
