Area
Ft. Myers is a fun and exciting place to be these days. We have anything from a day of relaxing in the sun-drenched atmosphere to a shopper’s paradise with a great night life. Ft. Myers is known for its sophisticated charm and elegant dining. All of this and more can be experienced living at College Club Apartments!
Nestled along the scenic shoreline of the Caloosahatchee River, the city has become an interesting blend of young and old. Sporting the youngest population in Lee County, with a median age of 32, the City of Fort Myers is also home to the historic winter residences of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford. Extensive renovation of the historic downtown waterfront is underway, with new restaurants, nightclubs, apartments, and artistic venues providing energy and growth.
Throughout the year, Southwest Florida residents and visitors enjoy cultural events overlooking the river at Centennial Park and the Fort Myers Yacht Basin. http://www.fortmyers.org/fort_myers.htm
