Lehigh Acres Communities

Established in 1954 at the spot with the highest elevation in Lee County, Fl; Lehigh Acres was once a sprawling ranch owned by Lee Ratner. Today, it is a large but gently populated neighborhood in southwest Florida roughly 20 miles inland from Fort Myers beach. This expansive community is carved out of a pre-plotted subdivision on 61,000 acres, just under 600 of which is water.
