On vacation last year, we took a drive through the south east corner of Lehigh Acres. I was looking into buying an empty lot as a small investment. Lots of potential there, but nothing really going on. So many partially built homes, abandoned homes, etc. This took away its appeal for me. Now I’m thinking retirement home. And one of those empty blocks would be great to build on in a few years. I live in DC metro area so I’m used to 1-1/2 to 2 or more hour commutes. But I do commercial fire alarm, and doesn’t look like there’s much of that going on there. lol. Anyways, still an idea for me as an investment. Thanks for the modern update!! 👍🏻

There are tons of partially built homes that are actively under construction but very few if any abandoned that I have seen. It may have appeared that way at the time because that was not long after the hurricane and everyone was still very much in clean up mode so most contractors were working on either their own homes or cleaning up others homes. There aren’t a ton of commercial buildings in Lehigh but it’s growing and if 1.5-2hrs drive isn’t a big deal, you can get to a ton of different bigger cities from Lehigh in that amount of drive time. Depending on where in Lehigh you can get as far as Tampa or Miami within 2hrs.

The skate park in Veterans Park on Homestead Road in Lehigh Acres is pretty slammin'.

Awesome! Thanks for the info. I honestly had no idea there was a skate park there!

Along with the skate park they also have covered basketball courts with lights; every time I drive by it’s packed 👍🏻

@2:25 I think you mean south of SR 80

Yes correct. I have a bad habit of saying 82 when I mean 80 because I say 82 so much more often. Thank you. Good catch!

There is no pro to living in LA. Trust me. Lived there 2013-2017. Dodgy characters, Dollar Tree and Dollar General are landmarks. Home was burglarized, LCSO took 2hrs to respond, surprising crooks were never caught. Drug users and dealers crawling around. Total nightmare. Cheap cost of living and lack of police presence allow crime to really thrive here.

Sorry you had to deal with your home being burglarized. I’ve been there. It’s scary and frustrating because even though there is no longer a threat (which is what the police look at when prioritizing calls and why it seems to always take forever for them to respond to calls like this in every city/town) it doesn’t feel that way to you as the person it happened to. And it’s totally understandable why you feel the way you do about Lehigh. Where did you move to? And do you like it better there?

Lack of public transportation is actually a plus as that is a socialist system. No public services means lower taxes. Trust me, you don't want socialist programs in your city. Buy a car instead.

From what I’ve been told it seems most people disagree with you but if that’s a pro for you then that makes Southwest Florida even more for you because it’s pretty much nonexistent.
