Key takeaways for Lehigh Acres buyers

Data updated: October 2026.

• The county recorded 3,741 single-family-type sales in Lehigh Acres in the latest 12-month county window at a $305,649 median. That is 2,815 sales of homes the roll already codes as single family ($300,000 median) plus 926 new homes on parcels the January 1, 2026 roll still coded as vacant lots ($310,000 median).
• Single-family sales on the roll had a middle range (25th to 75th percentile) of $265,000 to $345,000. Of the 2,815, 2,761 were resales at a $300,000 median and 54 were builder-direct by the county tool's definition, an estimate, at $335,495.
• Vacant lots are the largest category on the roll: 68,544 of the 122,278 parcels. The county recorded 2,871 lot sales at a $22,800 median (25th to 75th percentile $18,000 to $28,000), and the median sold lot was 0.25 acre.
• Condos recorded 159 sales at a $162,500 median, and 156 of them were in ZIP 33936. Duplexes, triplexes and quads recorded 179 sales at a $450,000 median, and 117 of them were in ZIP 33973.
• Pool homes recorded 234 sales at a $347,500 median, against 2,581 homes without a pool at $300,000.
• ZIP 33972 had the highest single-family median at $345,000 and ZIP 33936 the lowest at $250,000. ZIP 33974 recorded the most single-family sales, 789.
• Most of Lehigh Acres runs on private wells and septic. Lee County's 2024 water study scope puts FGUA public water at under 50 percent of Lehigh Acres and central sewer at about 38 percent, and a February 2025 county staff report found sewer extension not feasible for 110,795 Lehigh Acres parcels under current conditions.
• Lehigh Acres is inland, and its flood history is rain and drainage rather than storm surge. Hurricane Irma dropped up to 17.5 inches of rain in parts of the drainage district in 2017.
• At 2025 rates, a $300,000 Lehigh Acres home carries $3,008.72 in property tax with a homestead exemption and $3,456.27 without, before the fire district and drainage district assessments, which are billed separately.
• The 2026 FHA one-unit limit is the $541,287 national floor, which a loan-limit lookup shows for Lee County, and the conforming limit is $832,750, both above the price of most Lehigh Acres sales.

The map frame is approximate. It is drawn around the Lehigh Acres parcels on the county roll, so a few listings on its edges may show a Fort Myers or Alva city; check the city and ZIP on each listing. Live inventory, list prices and days on market come from the search itself, and we do not print them on this page. To tour a home, call Domain Realty Group at 239-441-2816. Before a first showing, Florida practice since August 17, 2024 is a short written buyer agreement that states how your agent is paid, and it can be limited to one home.

Search Lehigh Acres by home type

Start with single family if you want a house on its own lot: sales of homes the roll codes as single family were 2,815 of the 3,741 single-family-type sales, and newer homes finished after the roll date appear in the same single-family search when they are listed. Choose condos if your budget sits near the $162,500 condo median, and use the newer-homes link for homes built in 2025 or later. Lots and duplexes are in the all-listings search: all Lehigh Acres listings, including land. Each link opens the same map with a different filter, so you can compare without starting over. If you want a parcel record rather than a listing, a Lehigh Acres property search by owner or address runs on the Lee County Property Appraiser's site, which is listed in our sources.

What do homes sell for in Lehigh Acres?

The median single-family sale in Lehigh Acres was $300,000 on 2,815 sales of homes the county roll codes as single family, in the latest 12-month county window. Adding 926 new homes finished after the roll date, at a $310,000 median, gives 3,741 single-family-type sales at a $305,649 median. Condos, duplexes and lots are counted separately.

Data updated: October 2026.

Two numbers do most of the work for a Lehigh Acres buyer. The $300,000 resale median is the figure to hold a listing against, because it covers houses that were already on the January 1, 2026 roll. The $310,000 median for new homes on vacant-coded parcels describes homes finished after that date: the roll still codes the parcel as a vacant lot, but the deed recorded an improved sale. We infer that most of those 926 are new builds, sold either by a builder or built on a buyer's own lot, and we never count them as lot sales.

The spread around the median is narrow. Half of the single-family sales on the roll fell between $265,000 and $345,000, a band $80,000 wide. The ZIP, the decade a home was built and its size are the first things to compare when listings differ in price.

Lehigh Acres home prices by ZIP code

ZIP 33972 led with a $345,000 single-family median and ZIP 33936 had the lowest at $250,000. ZIP 33974 recorded the most single-family sales, 789, and also the most new homes on vacant-coded parcels, 289. ZIP 33973 is small: 866 single-family parcels and 35 single-family sales in the latest 12-month county window.

ZIP	Single-family parcels	Single-family sales	Single-family median	Median heated sq ft (sold)	Sold homes built 2020 or later
33936	9,355	448	$250,000	1,396	27

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, over $5,000, the latest 12-month county window; DOR use code 01 (single family). One further sale had a blank ZIP on the roll ($349,900), so the ZIP rows add to 2,814 of the 2,815.

The second table shows the new homes that the roll still codes as vacant lots. These are separate sales, not part of the table above.

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, over $5,000, the latest 12-month county window: improved sales on parcels the January 1, 2026 roll codes as vacant residential (DOR 00). The combined column is our arithmetic (both tables added); we do not print a combined median by ZIP because the county cut does not give one.

In 33936 the new-home median of $299,999 is $49,999 above the single-family median of $250,000, a sign that the older housing in that ZIP sells for less than what is being finished there now. In 33973 the 23 new-home sales had a $482,300 median, well above the ZIP's $280,000 single-family median; the sample is small, so treat it as a direction, not a price for a specific street.

How Lehigh Acres prices moved, 2016 to 2026

The single-family median rose from $137,500 in 2016 to $320,000 in 2025, then sat at $300,000 for the part of 2026 in the county's file. Sales counts peaked in 2023 at 4,948 and fell to 3,618 in 2025.

Year	Single-family sales	Median
2016	2,381	$137,500
2017	2,398	$153,000
2018	2,642	$164,000

2024	4,611	$313,500
2025	3,618	$320,000
2026 (partial)	1,931	$300,000

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, single family (DOR 01), by calendar year. Month-precision records are included in the yearly rows, so these counts do not match the day-dated 12-month window exactly. 2026 runs only to the file date.

Read the table as direction. The biggest single-year jump was 2021 to 2022, when the median went from $190,000 to $253,000. The 2026 partial-year median of $300,000 is $20,000 below the 2025 median of $320,000, and it matches the $300,000 median of the latest 12-month county window. A partial year mixes fewer months and different home types, so ask us for a comparable-sales report on the exact plat section before you draw a conclusion about one street.

What sells in Lehigh Acres, by home type

Single-family homes dominate: 2,815 sales of homes on the roll at $300,000 plus 926 newer homes at $310,000. Condos recorded 159 sales at $162,500, duplexes and other small multi-family 179 at $450,000, and vacant lots 2,871 at $22,800. The roll recorded no mobile home or cooperative sales in Lehigh Acres in the window.

Home type	Recorded sales	Median	Notes
Single family on the roll	2,815	$300,000	2,761 resale at $300,000; 54 builder-direct (estimate) at $335,495
New homes on vacant-coded parcels	926	$310,000	finished after the January 1, 2026 roll date

A pool is the clearest single feature in the data. Pool homes sold at a median $47,500 above homes without one, and 5,831 of the 44,934 single-family parcels on the roll, or 13.0 percent, have a pool. Bedrooms tell a similar story, with one caution: the roll does not carry a bedroom count for many sold homes, so the "not on roll" row is large.

Not on roll	1,595	$318,900	n/a

The three-bedroom median of $280,000 on 801 sales is the most useful row for a typical search. A four-bedroom home added $39,450 to the median, and a two-bedroom home was $70,000 below the three-bedroom figure. The median heated area of all single-family parcels on the roll is 1,559 square feet.

Is Lehigh Acres a city, and what does this page cover?

No. Lehigh Acres is an unincorporated census-designated place governed by Lee County, with no city government. Permits, roads, zoning and most taxes run through the county, while two special districts handle fire service and drainage. This page covers the 122,278 parcels the county roll lists with a Lehigh Acres site city, across six ZIP codes.

Data updated: October 2026.

Because there is no city hall, the questions a buyer would take to a city go to different bodies here. Lee County issues building permits and maintains the roads. The Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District provides fire and rescue service and bills a per-parcel assessment. The Lehigh Acres Municipal Services Improvement District (LA-MSID), created by the Florida Legislature on June 10, 2015, runs the canals, drainage and water control, and the Florida Governmental Utility Authority (FGUA) supplies central water and sewer to the part of Lehigh Acres it serves. Whether Lehigh Acres is a good place to live depends on your priorities, so this page sticks to facts you can check: recorded prices, utilities, flood history, taxes and drive routes.

A few edge cases are worth knowing. On the county roll, 120,555 of the Lehigh Acres parcels sit in the Lehigh Acres Fire and Lehigh Acres Light districts, 684 are in the Tice Fire district, and 1,027 parcels with a Lehigh Acres site city sit in the City of Fort Myers taxing district. A small part of the wider Lehigh Acres area lies in Hendry County, which has its own tax stack and is outside this page. Check the taxing district on the property record of any parcel you consider.

What ZIP codes are in Lehigh Acres?

The six delivery ZIP codes are 33936, 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974 and 33976. ZIP 33970 is a P.O. Box ZIP with no street delivery, so check the property's street address and its delivery ZIP. ZIP 33936 is the largest by land area, about 36.1 square miles, and 33973 is the smallest, about 3.8 square miles.

ZIP	Land area (sq mi)	Single-family parcels	Vacant lots on roll	Single-family median, latest 12-month county window

Source: land area from zip-codes.com (USPS and Census files, SUPPORTING); parcels, lots and medians from the Lee County Property Appraiser roll and recorded sales, the latest 12-month county window. ZIP areas reach past the census boundary of Lehigh Acres, so the land column will not add to the census figure.

Three of the six ZIPs are newer. ZIPs 33973, 33974 and 33976 carry a USPS introduction date of June 2007, while 33936, 33971 and 33972 predate October 2004. A ZIP is a postal convenience, not a neighborhood: the old plat sections, the gated communities and the scattered new-home lots all share these six codes, and the price table earlier on this page shows how far apart they can sit. The vacant lot counts explain a lot about each ZIP. In 33974 there are 24,564 vacant lots against 8,253 single-family parcels, while in 33936 there are 2,998 lots against 9,355 homes.

How big is Lehigh Acres, and how was it built?

The 2020 Census counted 114,287 people in Lehigh Acres on 92.69 square miles of land, about 94 square miles in total with water. Development began in 1954 on former ranch land, sold as small platted lots. Today the county roll counts 68,544 vacant residential lots among 122,278 parcels, so more than half of the parcels are still vacant lots.

Data updated: October 2026.

The history explains the grid. Published accounts say Lee Ratner bought eastern Lee County ranch land known as the Lucky Lee Ranch around 1951 and began Lehigh Acres in 1954 with partners including Gerald H. Gould, and that the community was initially called Leeland Heights, a name that survives in Leeland Heights Boulevard and in the Leeland Heights plat section. Gould suggested selling half-acre lots for small down payments, and a 2009 Tampa Bay Times account describes terms of "$10 down and $10 a month." Lee County's own planning page describes Lehigh Acres as a pre-platted residential community of mostly quarter-acre and half-acre single-family lots. The Times also reported that more than 13,000 homes were built from 2004 to 2006. Those are historical accounts, labelled as such, not county figures.

The county roll shows the result today. Vacant residential lots are 68,544 of the 122,278 parcels, or 56.1 percent by our arithmetic, and single-family homes are 44,934. The rest are 3,424 duplex, triplex and quad parcels, 1,368 condominium parcels and about 4,000 parcels under other use codes (122,278 minus 118,270 by our arithmetic), including vacant commercial, common-area and government land. Most homes sit on the original small lots.

Lot size under single-family homes	Homes

The median single-family parcel is 0.25 acre, about 10,000 square feet, and only 939 homes sit on an acre or more. The age of the homes follows the grid's building waves. The largest group by far was built in the 2000s, and the 2020s already account for 8,711 single-family parcels.

Homes built in the 2000s are 17,653 of the 44,934 single-family parcels, or 39.3 percent, and homes built in the 2020s are 19.4 percent. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s trade near $210,000 to $213,210, about $100,000 below the 2020s median of $315,000. Older homes come with the inspection questions covered in the buying section: roof age, a four-point inspection, the septic permit and the well.

What can I buy in Lehigh Acres at each price point?

Most Lehigh Acres single-family-type sales fall between $250,000 and $349,999: 2,304 of 3,741, or 61.6 percent, in the latest 12-month county window. Under $250,000 accounted for 549 sales and $350,000 and up for 888. Each band below names the ZIPs, decades built and communities whose county medians fall in it.

The bands are narrow at both ends. Only 197 single-family-type sales closed under $200,000 and only 44 at $500,000 or more. The two middle bands together hold 2,304 sales, which is why the community and ZIP medians below cluster so tightly.

Under $250,000

This band held 549 sales, 14.7 percent of the total. ZIP 33936's $250,000 single-family median sits exactly on this band's upper line, at the bottom of the next band. Homes built in the 1950s ($225,000), 1960s ($213,210), 1970s ($210,000) and 1980s ($228,000) trade here, and so do two-bedroom homes at a $210,000 median. Communities and sections whose medians fall in this band include Beacon Square ($142,500), Ibis Landing across all of its plats ($209,998), Vistanna Villas ($215,000), Wedgewood ($225,000), Leeland Heights ($226,500), Parkwood ($235,000) and Olympia Pointe ($235,500). Condos, at a $162,500 median, are the other main path under $250,000. At this level, roof age, the septic system and the association documents matter as much as the price.

$250,000 to $299,999

This band held 1,140 sales, 30.5 percent of the total. Homes built in the 1990s ($275,000), 2000s ($273,250) and 2010s ($277,500) trade here, and so does the three-bedroom median of $280,000. ZIP 33973's single-family median of $280,000 is in this band. Asher Park ($267,000), Caloosa Lakes ($268,000), Westminster ($280,000) and Savanna Lakes ($299,999) have medians here, and the new-home median on vacant-coded parcels in 33936 is $299,999. Builder "from" prices for several scattered-lot programs also start in this range, as shown in the builder section.

$300,000 to $349,999

This is the largest band, 1,164 sales or 31.1 percent. Four ZIP medians fall in it: 33974 ($300,000), 33971 ($304,950), 33976 ($309,000) and 33972 ($345,000). Homes built in the 2020s ($315,000) and four-bedroom homes ($319,450) sit here, as do pool homes at $347,500 and builder-direct sales at $335,495. Community and section medians in this band include Town Lakes ($300,000), Southwood ($304,000), Country Club Estates ($310,000), Mirror Lakes ($315,000), Greenbriar ($317,000), Whispering Lakes ($319,490), Varsity Lakes ($324,500), Lehigh Park ($325,000) and Twin Lake Estates ($325,000). New homes on vacant-coded parcels in 33971 ($305,000), 33974 ($306,000), 33976 ($310,000) and 33972 ($343,275) also land here.

$350,000 to $399,999

This band held 636 sales, 17.0 percent. Five-bedroom homes ($365,000) and six-bedroom homes ($374,950, on 2 sales) have medians here, and so does Sherwood at the Crossroads at $362,000, on a small sample of 3 sales. In this band the difference usually comes from size, a pool, a newer build year or a larger lot: the 939 homes on an acre or more are a small group, so a larger parcel at this price is worth checking against the lot-size table.

$400,000 and up

This band held 252 sales, 6.7 percent: 208 from $400,000 to $499,999 and 44 at $500,000 and up. The Lehigh Estates plat section, with its main ZIP in 33973, had a $445,000 median on 153 improved sales, a figure that mixes duplex, triplex and quad sales with houses (33973 holds 2,423 of the 3,424 duplex-type parcels), so read it as a mixed median, not a single-family price. New homes on vacant-coded parcels in 33973 had a $482,300 median on 23 sales. Duplexes, triplexes and quads, which are not in the single-family band table, had a $450,000 median and are covered in their own section below.

How do Lehigh Acres communities and sections compare?

Recorded medians in the latest 12-month county window run from $142,500 in Beacon Square to $445,000 in the Lehigh Estates plat section, where duplex-type sales are part of the mix. Ibis Landing recorded the most sales of any named community, 210, at a $209,998 median that mixes condos, villas and homes. The table counts improved sales only; vacant-lot sales are excluded.

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll and recorded sales, DOR-qualified, over $5,000, matched on the county's legal descriptions; built homes are single family, condo and small multi-family parcels (DOR 01, 04 and 08); improved sales only. The rows marked "platted section" are platted sections of the original grid, not HOA communities. Rows can overlap and should not be added together.

Two cautions apply to every row. First, a legal-description match follows the recorded plat names, so a community's marketing name and its plat names do not always line up. Second, small samples move fast: Sherwood at the Crossroads and Beacon Square have 3 and 4 sales, so one sale can shift the median. The larger rows (Ibis Landing, Savanna Lakes, Mirror Lakes, Lehigh Estates and Southwood) are the most stable reads.

Ibis Landing

Ibis Landing is Lennar's master-planned golf community in ZIP 33936, with an 18-hole course designed by Gordon B. Lewis and a golf membership that Lennar's 2023 and 2024 announcements said is bundled with each of its homes there; confirm it with Lennar. The county recorded 210 improved sales across its plats in the latest 12-month county window at a $209,998 median, a figure that mixes condos, villas, carriage homes and single-family homes.

Lennar's own collection names are Executive Homes (single family), Villa Homes, Carriage Homes and Terrace Condominiums, and the Manor Homes collection is sold out. On the county roll the same community appears under several recorded plat names, including Terrace I at Ibis Landing, Terrace II at Ibis Landing, and Carriage Homes I and Carriage Homes II at Ibis Landing. Over 24 months, the legal-description prefixes recorded 122 sales under "Ibis Landing as described in" a 2023 instrument, 73 under "Ibis Landing", 55 under Terrace II, 43 under Terrace I, 22 under Carriage Homes I and 19 under Carriage Homes II.

On October 29, 2026, Lennar's pages listed Terrace Condominiums from $154,990, Villa Homes from $204,990, Carriage Homes from $205,990 and Executive Homes from $289,990. Those are builder marketing prices, not recorded sales. Lennar's amenities list includes a resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, a clubhouse and the Ibis Grille. Lennar lists an approximate HOA fee on its Ibis Landing pages (period not stated), so ask for the current figure and what it covers before you write an offer. The welcome center is at 20800 Copperhead Drive.

Westminster

Westminster is a golf community in ZIP 33973 built around The Club at Westminster, a semi-private 18-hole championship course at 2199 Berkley Way that is open to the public year-round and offers memberships. The county recorded 33 improved sales in the latest 12-month county window at a $280,000 median, with a median heated area of 1,812 square feet.

The Westminster community website describes a guard-gated, deed-restricted community of 620 residential doors made up of single-family homes, twin villas and condominium units in four neighborhood associations: Governor's Run 1, Governor's Run 2, Villas at Fairloop Run and Somerset Ridge Condominiums. The county roll counts 656 parcels matched to Westminster, 617 of them built. The club lists a practice range, pro shop, restaurant, bar, instruction and leagues. Because a home there can sit under both a master and a neighborhood association, ask for both sets of documents and both budgets.

Savanna Lakes, Mirror Lakes, Whispering Lakes and Asher Park

Among the named communities (not the platted sections), these four recorded the most sales after Ibis Landing in the latest 12-month county window: Savanna Lakes 127 at $299,999, Mirror Lakes 107 at $315,000, Asher Park 79 at $267,000 and Whispering Lakes 62 at $319,490. Three are active new-home communities; Mirror Lakes is an older platted area that is still filling in.

• Savanna Lakes (33974). Lennar sells here from a welcome center at 12451 Amber Waves Road, with Executive Homes plans from the Aura at 1,343 square feet to the Nova at 3,041 square feet and a published range of $244,990 to $359,990 on October 29, 2026 (builder marketing, not a recorded sale). Lennar lists a pool, fitness center, playground and pond. The county matched 707 parcels, 455 of them built, and the sales median of $299,999 came with a large median heated area of 2,316 square feet. East Lee County News reported in November 2023 that an expansion along Homestead Road South was approved for 1,468 single-family homes and 100,000 square feet of commercial space.
• Mirror Lakes (33974). The county matched 2,202 parcels here but only 667 built homes, so more than two of every three matched parcels were not coded as built on the January 1 roll. The 107 improved sales had a $315,000 median and a median heated area of 1,644 square feet. New homes and older homes sit side by side, so compare by build year as well as by street.
• Whispering Lakes (33936 on the county roll). M/I Homes sells a 290-home single-family community with a sales office at 247 Silent Lake Drive, and Centex also builds there; Centex's page describes the community as gated with a pool, cabana and dog park, lists "Central utilities" and states "NO CDD." The county matched 308 parcels, only 56 of them coded as built on the January 1 roll, which suggests that most of its 62 recorded sales are new homes finished after the roll date.
• Asher Park (33971). D.R. Horton builds single-family homes and townhomes here, with a sales center at 8065 Cedar Key Way near SR 82 and Buckingham Road. The builder describes a gated entry, pool, cabana, fitness center and playground, and listed homes from $297,990 on October 29, 2026. The county matched 292 parcels, 94 of them built, and recorded 79 sales at $267,000.

Olympia Pointe, Town Lakes, Varsity Lakes and the villa communities

These are established communities with mostly built-out parcels and small yearly sales counts: Olympia Pointe 18 sales at $235,500, Town Lakes 11 at $300,000, Varsity Lakes 8 at $324,500, Vistanna Villas 11 at $215,000 and Beacon Square 4 at $142,500. Small samples move quickly, so a single comparable sale matters more here than the median.

The county figures sort these communities mostly by home size. Town Lakes in 33972 had the largest median heated area of the group at 2,232 square feet, with 422 of its 453 parcels built. Varsity Lakes in 33971 recorded a 1,744 square foot median and Olympia Pointe, also in 33971, 1,384 square feet. The two villa-and-townhouse communities record the smallest homes: Vistanna Villas in 33936 at a 1,357 square foot median, with 289 of 310 parcels built, and Beacon Square in 33936 at 1,009 square feet, with 136 of 139 built. Caloosa Lakes in 33936 recorded 19 sales at $268,000 with a 1,747 square foot median, and Sherwood at the Crossroads in 33971 recorded 3 sales at $362,000 with 2,267 square feet. Twin Lake Estates in 33974 recorded 37 sales at $325,000, with 425 built homes on 1,216 parcels. We do not print association fees for any of these communities; dues, rules and what the fee covers come from each association's own documents, and live listings show the current figures.

The original grid: Lehigh Estates, Southwood, Greenbriar and the platted sections

Most of Lehigh Acres is not a planned community at all. It is the original grid of recorded plats, sold lot by lot, and these platted sections of the original grid are not HOA communities. Lehigh Estates recorded 153 improved sales at $445,000, Southwood 101 at $304,000, Greenbriar 83 at $317,000 and Lehigh Park 59 at $325,000 in the latest 12-month county window.

The plat names are how the county records the grid, and they are what you will see in a legal description. Over 24 months the generic "Lehigh Acres" legal prefix recorded 11,156 sales, far more than any named section, followed by Lehigh Estates (532), Southwood (429) and Greenbriar (365). The sections differ in how built-out they are. Greenbriar in 33972 has 4,951 parcels and 1,255 built homes, and Southwood in 33974 has 2,835 parcels and 1,130 built. Lehigh Estates in 33973 is further along, with 2,596 built homes on 4,447 parcels and a median heated area of 2,316 square feet; its built-home count includes small multi-family parcels, and 33973 is also where 2,423 of the 3,424 duplex-type parcels sit. The older sections in 33936, Leeland Heights ($226,500), Parkwood ($235,000), Wedgewood ($225,000) and Country Club Estates ($310,000), are mostly built out (77 to 98 percent of parcels built) and record smaller homes, from 1,243 to 1,878 square feet at the median.

On the grid, the lot next door may be vacant and may be built on later, a road may or may not be paved, and water and sewer can differ from one parcel to the next. That is why the checks in the lots and water sections below matter more on a grid lot than in a planned community.

Are there condos and villas for sale in Lehigh Acres?

Yes, though condos are a small share of Lehigh Acres sales. The county recorded 159 condo sales in the latest 12-month county window at a $162,500 median, with a middle range of $125,000 to $199,000. Of those, 156 were in ZIP 33936 at a $160,000 median and 3 in ZIP 33973 at $225,000.

Data updated: October 2026.

The roll counts 1,368 condominium parcels in Lehigh Acres, against 44,934 single-family parcels, so condo inventory is thin and concentrated. Most condo sales happen in 33936, which is also where Lennar's Terrace Condominiums at Ibis Landing are being built. Villas and townhouses are not always recorded as condominiums: Lennar, for example, lists its Ibis Landing villas and carriage homes as multi-family homes, separate from its terrace condominiums, so check how a listing is recorded and which association documents come with it. Use the condo search link at the top of this page to see what is listed today.

Condo prices rose from a $50,000 median in 2016 to $179,000 in 2025, and the partial 2026 median is $159,000. New construction is part of the recent mix. On October 29, 2026, Lennar listed Terrace Condominiums at Ibis Landing from $154,990, with Arbor, Birkdale and Carolina plans of 1,120 to 1,301 square feet, plus Villa Homes from $204,990 and Carriage Homes from $205,990 (builder marketing, not recorded sales). At Westminster in 33973, the community website names Somerset Ridge Condominiums and Villas at Fairloop Run among its four neighborhood associations. Vistanna Villas and Beacon Square, both in 33936, recorded the smallest median heated areas in the community table, 1,357 and 1,009 square feet. One insurance note: the Citizens flood requirement that reaches most Citizens homeowners on January 1, 2027 exempts condo unit owners.

What Florida condo law gives a Lehigh Acres condo buyer

Florida's condominium statute, section 718.503, sets the paper you can ask for and the time you get to read it. On a resale, the buyer may request in writing the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone inspection summary, the structural integrity reserve study (or a statement that there is none), the turnover inspection report, the frequently asked questions sheet and the governance form.

A resale contract is voidable by the buyer within 7 days, excluding weekends and legal holidays, after signing and receiving those documents, unless the buyer received them more than 7 days before signing; the right ends at closing. On a developer sale, such as a new Ibis Landing terrace condo, the contract must say it is voidable, and the buyer has 15 days after signing and receiving the required items; the developer may not close inside those 15 days unless the buyer agrees. Florida Realtors updated its Condominium Rider (CR-7_A, 12/24) for the 718.503 changes effective December 31, 2024. For a villa or townhouse inside a homeowners association rather than a condominium, section 720.401 applies instead: the seller must give an HOA disclosure summary before you sign, and if it comes late you may void the contract by written notice within 3 days after receiving it or before closing, whichever comes first. Read the budget, the reserve study and the last minutes, and confirm with a Florida attorney which rules apply to your purchase. This is general information, not legal advice.

Can you buy a lot and build in Lehigh Acres?

Yes. Vacant residential lots are 68,544 of the 122,278 parcels on the Lehigh Acres roll, and the county recorded 2,871 lot sales in the latest 12-month county window at a $22,800 median, on a median sold lot of 0.25 acre. Building on one depends on water, septic, drainage and permit rules for that exact parcel.

Our Lehigh Acres land for sale page covers lots by ZIP and size, zoning, water and septic, and the fees to build. ZIP 33974 has the most lots, 24,564, and recorded the most lot sales, 964, at the lowest ZIP median, $19,500. ZIP 33973 recorded the highest lot median, $49,500, on 71 sales. In 33936 and 33972 the median sold lot was half an acre, which matters for the well and septic rule below. Out-of-state or foreign owners hold a large share of the land: 21,598 of the 68,544 vacant lots, or 31.5 percent by our arithmetic, mail their tax bills outside Florida or abroad.

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser recorded sales, DOR-qualified, deed recorded vacant (lots then or since built on), by calendar year, month-precision records included; 2026 runs only to the file date. The series mixes lot sizes and conditions; read it as direction, not appraisal.

The lot median more than tripled from $6,700 in 2016 to $23,000 in 2025, and lot sales jumped from 2,032 in 2020 to 6,674 in 2021. Lot sales slowed to 3,587 in 2025 while the median held at $23,000.

The lot is the smallest cost of a build. Lee County's impact fees for a single-family detached home in unincorporated Lee County, as shown in the county's table dated May 18, 2023, were collected at 52.5 percent of the adopted base fee: road $5,248, community park $464, regional park $342 and school $2,879, plus fire (up to $766 in that table, varying by district) and EMS ($55). That table totals $9,754, about $10,047 with the 3 percent administrative fee. Fire fees were amended by Ordinance 26-01, adopted February 3, 2026, so treat the 2023 totals as a snapshot and ask the county for the current schedule. Impact fees are due when the building permit is issued.

Two more checks belong in every lot budget. The LA-MSID requires a District permit to connect to, cross or place structures on its canals and rights-of-way, and new or improved single-family parcels over one acre need a District permit. And Lee County DOT says plainly that building houses on an unpaved road does not trigger paving: roads join a paving wait list (email Paving@LeeGov.com) and are ranked by condition and the number of homes on them.

Well and septic or utility water and sewer: how to tell for a lot

Start with FGUA's "check your address" map on fgua.com, which shows whether central water and sewer reach the parcel, and ask FGUA in writing for any connection charges. If the lot is outside FGUA service, plan for a private well permitted by Lee County's Division of Natural Resources and a septic system permitted by the Florida Department of Health in Lee County.

The rules then turn on two facts: the lot's size and its plat date. Under section 381.0065 of the Florida Statutes, a lot served by a private well plus septic needs at least one-half acre, while a lot on public water may have up to four lots per acre. Lots platted before 1972, however, "are not subject to lot size requirements," though they still need a 50-foot setback from surface water. Most Lehigh Acres lots were platted in the 1950s and 1960s according to historical accounts, but the plat date must be checked lot by lot.

Next, the nitrogen rule. Since July 1, 2023, a new septic permit on a lot of one acre or less inside a Basin Management Action Plan (BMAP) area without sewer requires an enhanced nutrient-reducing system, and in unincorporated Lee County the system must be designed by a Florida-licensed engineer. Lee County is subject to the Caloosahatchee and Everglades West Coast BMAPs, and the LA-MSID describes southwest Lehigh Acres as draining to the Caloosahatchee through the Orange River basin. Run the address through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's BMAP septic lookup and ask the health department. Since January 1, 2024, a new septic system is not allowed in a BMAP area where sewer is available.

What a buildable Lehigh Acres lot needs

A buildable lot in Lehigh Acres needs a confirmed water and wastewater path (FGUA service, or a permitted well and septic), a size and plat date that meet the septic rule, a road you can live with, drainage that fits the LA-MSID rules, and a building permit with impact fees paid. Each item has its own office and fee.

1. Utilities. Check the FGUA address map. If sewer is available in a BMAP area, a new septic is not allowed.
2. Well permit. If there is no FGUA water, apply to Lee County's Division of Natural Resources.
3. Septic permit. The Florida Department of Health in Lee County charges a $390 application fee for a new septic construction permit, $155 for a site evaluation when required, and $465 for a performance-based treatment system application. Installation cost is separate, and no official cost range for an enhanced system is published.
4. Lot size and plat date. Half an acre for well plus septic, unless the lot was platted before 1972.
5. Drainage district. An LA-MSID permit if the work connects to or crosses District canals or rights-of-way, and for single-family parcels over one acre.
6. Building permit. Lee County issues it, and impact fees are paid at issuance.
7. Flood. Check the FEMA flood zone, and get an elevation certificate if the lot is in a Special Flood Hazard Area.

Ask for the plat date, the survey, and a written utility answer before you close on the lot, not after. A lot priced at the $22,800 median can still be the wrong lot if it fails one of these seven checks.

Are there duplexes and multi-family homes for sale in Lehigh Acres?

Yes. The county recorded 179 sales of duplexes, triplexes and quads (multi-family under 10 units) in the latest 12-month county window at a $450,000 median, with a middle range of $380,000 to $510,000. Most are in ZIP 33973, which holds 2,423 of the 3,424 such parcels and recorded 117 of the 179 sales.

The duplex median climbed from $155,000 in 2016 to $500,000 in 2024 and $515,990 in 2025, and the partial 2026 median is $450,000, the same as the latest 12-month county window. Sales counts peaked at 564 in 2021 and were 273 in 2025. The 2024 and 2025 medians likely reflect newer construction in the mix, so compare a listing with sales of the same build year.

We describe duplexes here as buyer inventory only. We do not estimate rents, returns or rental income, and nothing on this page is investment advice. For financing, HUD's 2026 national floor FHA limit is $693,050 for a two-unit property, $837,700 for three units and $1,041,125 for four, and the one-unit FHA limit is the $541,287 national floor, which a loan-limit lookup shows for Lee County; confirm the multi-unit figure and owner-occupancy rules with your lender. A duplex also carries the same well, septic, flood and assessment checks as a house, and on a two-unit parcel the septic system and the water supply serve both units.

Who is building new homes in Lehigh Acres?

Builders sell across Lehigh Acres, both in communities and on scattered grid lots. The county record shows about 980 new-home sales in the latest 12-month county window by our estimate: 926 new homes on parcels the roll still coded as vacant, at a $310,000 median, plus 54 builder-direct sales on single-family parcels at $335,495.

The "no HOA" lines apply only to the programs that state them. D.R. Horton's no-HOA statement covers its Spot Lots program; its Avalon community is gated with an HOA listed, and its Asher Park community is gated (the builder page does not state an HOA). Lennar's scattered-homesite program and Maronda state no HOA fees, and Maronda's page also offers building on a buyer's own lot or a lot it helps find. Only Centex states "Central utilities" for its homes; for any scattered-lot new home, confirm whether the lot is on FGUA water and sewer or on a well and septic before you sign. Builder warranties are contractual and differ by builder: Holiday Builders publishes a one-year transferable warranty and a 10-year limited structural warranty, and M/I Homes a "10-Year Transferable Structural Warranty." Under the 2023 change summarized by Florida law firms, the time limit to sue over construction defects is generally 7 years from the earliest of the certificate of occupancy or a similar trigger, after a Chapter 558 notice of at least 60 days for a single-family home. Lee County as a whole authorized 15,411 new housing units in 2024 and 13,547 in 2025, according to Census Bureau permit data.

Do Lehigh Acres homes have city water and sewer?

Many do not. Lee County's 2024 water study scope says less than 50 percent of Lehigh Acres is served with FGUA public water and about 38 percent has central sewer, and that most residents are served by domestic wells and septic tanks. Some homes are on FGUA service, so confirm the exact address on FGUA's map.

Data updated: October 2026.

There is no city utility because there is no city. Central water and sewer in Lehigh Acres come from the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, a public body formed by interlocal agreement that acquired the Lehigh Acres system in 2003. Lee County Utilities' own page names North Fort Myers and North Lee County service, not Lehigh Acres. Never assume "city water" from a listing; ask for the seller's utility bills and check the address.

Sewer is not coming to most streets on any schedule we can find, and we do not tell buyers otherwise. Lee County's February 5, 2025 staff report, prepared under the 2023 state law HB 1379, lists 110,795 Lehigh Acres parcels and marks sewer extension "not feasible" under current conditions, with no timeline. FGUA's fourth-quarter 2026 capital report shows a Lehigh Acres septic-to-sewer project only at the "evaluating alternatives" stage along Lee Boulevard (census tract 403.05), and a Milwaukee Boulevard water main extension that is designed and permitted but on hold pending funding. If sewer ever does reach a property, Florida law (section 381.00655) requires connection within 365 days after written notice for a working septic system, or within 90 days if the system needs repair, and the utility must give at least one year's notice before service begins.

FGUA's capacity is growing where it does serve. Water Treatment Plant No. 2, a reverse osmosis plant, completed its 1.65 million gallon per day first phase and was producing water as of August 2026 on a $65.56 million State Revolving Fund loan, with Phase 2 set to begin in late fall 2026. The Lehigh wastewater plant's membrane bioreactor expansion is due by the end of 2026. Boil water notices are posted on FGUA's site and tend to be local: on October 27, 2026, a 2-inch main break on Joel Boulevard and Gerald Avenue put 106 customers under a precautionary notice, with service restored the same day.

FGUA Lehigh Acres monthly charge	Effective Oct 1, 2025	Effective Oct 1, 2026

Source: FGUA "FY 2027 Lehigh Acres" rate sheet; the rates page says a Board Resolution prevails if the sheet differs. The FGUA rates page lists ZIPs 33913, 33936, 33971, 33972, 33973 and 33974 for this sheet.

As an example by our arithmetic, not an FGUA figure: at the October 1, 2026 rates with a 5/8 x 3/4 inch meter and 5,000 gallons, water is $18.94 plus 5 x $6.93, or $53.59, and sewer is $31.77 plus 5 x $10.95, or $86.52, for about $140.11 a month before taxes or other charges. A new FGUA customer pays a $25 initial connection charge and deposits of $75 for water, $95 for sewer or $170 for both on a standard residential meter, which may be waived with good credit history.

On a home with septic, order your own inspection. A septic permit transfers with the title, and state law says an inspection "may not be mandated" by government at the point of sale, so nobody will require one for you. Ask the seller for the original permit date; the health department's repair permit costs $350 and asks for that date. On a home with a private well, the Florida Department of Health in Lee County strongly recommends testing for bacteria and nitrate every year, and it will test for bacteria and interpret the results. Lehigh Acres wells draw on the Sandstone and Mid-Hawthorn aquifers. In April 2020 the South Florida Water Management District issued a water shortage order for unincorporated Lee County limiting landscape irrigation to one day a week, and Lee County reported that domestic wells had gone dry, so ask about the well's depth, pump and history as well as its water.

Is Lehigh Acres in a flood zone?

It depends on the parcel. Lehigh Acres is inland, so its flood history comes from heavy rain and drainage rather than storm surge, and flood zones vary from lot to lot near canals, creeks and sloughs. Unincorporated Lee County kept Community Rating System Class 5, worth a 25 percent discount on NFIP premiums in high-risk zones, after FEMA's July 2024 review (WGCU reporting); confirm the current class with your insurance agent.

Data updated: October 2026.

Check every address on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center and ask the seller for an elevation certificate. FEMA's FloodSmart site explains that zones beginning with A or V are high-risk Special Flood Hazard Areas, and that B, C and X are moderate to lower risk. Zone X does not mean no flood insurance: FEMA says almost one-third of NFIP flood claims from 2014 to 2024 came from outside high-risk areas, and some lenders require flood coverage outside those areas even though the federal mandatory-purchase rule applies only in Special Flood Hazard Areas with a federally backed mortgage.

The county's discount nearly changed in 2024. FEMA notified Lee County and four cities on March 28, 2024 that their CRS standing would drop to Class 10, with no discount, effective October 1, 2024, over post-Ian permitting and substantial-damage monitoring; on July 19, 2024 FEMA placed them on probation instead and the discounts stayed (WGCU and Business Observer reporting). Lee County joined the NFIP in September 1984. Most NFIP policies carry a 30-day waiting period, with exceptions tied to a loan closing, so buy flood coverage before closing, and NFIP premiums on a primary residence can rise up to 18 percent a year under the statutory cap.

Flood zone and evacuation zone are different maps

A flood zone comes from FEMA's flood insurance maps and drives insurance and lender rules. An evacuation zone comes from storm surge modeling and drives the county's evacuation orders. Lee County's zones A to E are based on National Hurricane Center surge modeling, so a Lehigh Acres address can sit in one map's category and not the other's.

Check both for any home you consider: the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the flood zone, and Lee County's evacuation zone map for the evacuation zone. We do not print an evacuation zone for Lehigh Acres as a whole; check your address on Lee County's evacuation zone map. Ahead of Hurricane Ian in 2022, Lee County's orders also covered all mobile and manufactured homes countywide, regardless of zone, according to WGCU's report of the orders.

Storm and flood history in Lehigh Acres

The defining event is rain. Hurricane Irma made landfall on September 10, 2017 and dropped up to 17.5 inches of rain in parts of the LA-MSID drainage district, about two weeks after Invest 92L brought almost 10 inches, and the Orange River and Bedman Creek corridors flooded. Hurricane Ian's deadly 2022 surge was coastal, far west of Lehigh Acres.

Data updated: October 2026.

Event	Date	What the record says
Invest 92L rains	late August 2017	almost 10 inches, close to a 100-year rain event, about two weeks before Irma (LA-MSID)
Hurricane Irma	September 10, 2017	up to 17.5 inches in parts of the district; a county assessment called it a 1,000-year storm, and LA-MSID says its system cut the effect to about a 25-year storm (LA-MSID post-Irma report)

The drainage system is the practical lesson. The LA-MSID maintains 311 miles of canals and more than 100 weirs, 30 of them with telemetry and electric gates, and moves water between canals during heavy rain. It has added storage since Irma: the Southwest Lehigh weirs added at least 754 acre-feet of stormwater storage across about ten square miles, and Lee County bought the 625-acre Frank Mann Preserve in April 2019 for $3.9 million. When you look at a home, ask the seller what happened to the property in Irma and in heavy summer rain, look at the lot's elevation against the street and the nearest canal, and read the seller's flood disclosure.

Florida flood disclosure for Lehigh Acres buyers

Since October 1, 2025, every Florida seller of residential property must give the buyer a flood disclosure at or before the time the contract is signed, under section 689.302. The form asks whether the seller knows of flooding that damaged the property during their ownership, filed any flood insurance claim, including with the NFIP, or received any flood assistance, including from FEMA.

The form applies in every flood zone, including Zone X, and it contains no flood-zone question, so it does not replace your own map check. The 2025 amendment dropped the word "federal" from the assistance question, so state, local or private help counts too. A parallel rule in section 83.512 requires landlords to give a separate flood disclosure for leases of one year or longer, and a tenant who suffers substantial loss after a missing disclosure may terminate within 30 days. If you plan to insure with Citizens Property Insurance, note its schedule: flood coverage is already required in Special Flood Hazard Areas and, outside them, for dwellings with replacement cost of $400,000 or more since January 1, 2026, and on January 1, 2027 it reaches every remaining Citizens personal residential policy with wind coverage, except condo unit owners and tenant policies.

What do property taxes, insurance and assessments cost in Lehigh Acres?

At 2025 rates, a $300,000 Lehigh Acres home inside the Lehigh Acres Light district pays $3,008.72 in property tax with a homestead exemption and $3,456.27 without, on a combined 11.5209 mills. Fire and drainage are billed separately as assessments, not millage. Insurance depends on the parcel's flood zone, roof age and mitigation features.

Data updated: October 2026.

Outside the 1,027 Lehigh Acres-addressed parcels in the City of Fort Myers taxing district, a Lehigh Acres parcel pays county, unincorporated and special district levies but no city millage. Two of the most visible lines on a Lehigh Acres bill are not property taxes at all: the fire district switched from millage to a per-parcel assessment after a 2014 referendum, and the LA-MSID's charter bars it from levying ad valorem tax. A worked example follows, with every line shown.

A worked property tax bill for a $300,000 Lehigh Acres home

The example uses the adopted 2025 rates (fiscal year 2025-26), the most recent full year we could source, and assumes the assessed value equals $300,000. With homestead, school tax is $1,462.72 and non-school tax $1,546.00, for $3,008.72; without homestead it is $3,456.27. In practice a first-year assessed value is often below the price paid.

The homestead exemption saves $447.55 in this first-year example, and the gap grows in later years because Save Our Homes caps the annual increase in a homesteaded home's assessed value at the lower of 3 percent or the change in the consumer price index. For 2026, Florida's Department of Revenue set the exemptions at $25,000 plus up to $26,411 against non-school levies, and the Lee County school rate fell to 5.271 mills in news reports of the adopted 2026-27 budget; on the same $300,000 home, with the Hyacinth rate at its 2026 level of 0.0190 mills and the other lines held at 2025 rates, the homestead total is about $2,991.20, an illustration until the full 2026 county stack is published. Amendment 3 on the November 3, 2026 ballot would change homestead exemptions if approved; check after November 3.

Three timing rules matter after you buy. A sale resets the assessed value to just value on the next January 1, so the seller's bill is not your bill; Florida's required property tax disclosure says buyers should not rely on the seller's current taxes. Homestead applications are due on or before March 1. And bills go out in November, with discounts of 4 percent in November, 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January and 1 percent in February; taxes are due March 31 and delinquent April 1. Paying the homestead example in November at the 4 percent discount would bring $3,008.72 to $2,888.37. If you had a Florida homestead in any of the 3 preceding years, portability may let you carry up to $500,000 of your Save Our Homes difference to a new homestead.

Fire and LA-MSID assessments on a Lehigh Acres bill

Two flat-style assessments appear beside the millage. The Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District charges, for 2026-27, $224.31 per parcel plus $1.28 per $1,000 of building value (Resolution 26-06-01, adopted June 30, 2026); the 2025-26 bill year carried $209.64 per parcel plus $1.20 per $1,000 (Resolution 25-07-01). The LA-MSID's Finance page posts a drainage assessment of $172.48 per acre; the page does not state the year.

Data updated: October 2026.

The fire assessment replaced a 3.0 mill fire tax after voters approved the switch in 2014, and the district receives no funds from county taxes. On a home with $250,000 of building value, the 2026-27 assessment works out to $224.31 plus $320.00, or $544.31 (2025-26: $209.64 plus $300.00, or $509.64), plus the small district and Tax Collector notice charges ($5.00 and $1.45 in the district's 2024-25 formula), and the district builds a 4 percent adjustment into the assessment to cover the early-payment discount. The assessment applies to every parcel, vacant lots included, so take the exact number from the parcel's actual bill. Qualifying adjoining lots can receive a curtilage exemption from the fire assessment.

The LA-MSID, created in 2015 to replace the East County Water Control District, maintains canals, drainage, water control, roads and bridges, and parks across about 70,000 acres, and it is funded by non-ad valorem assessments collected on the county bill. At $172.48 per acre, a quarter-acre lot works out to about $43.12 by our arithmetic. The district's charter says it may not impose ad valorem taxes, and streetlights, sidewalks, water and sewer are not among its current powers. Solid waste is also billed on the tax bill; ask for the parcel's current bill to see every assessment line.

Homeowners and flood insurance

We do not quote premiums, because a Lehigh Acres premium swings with elevation, flood zone, roof age, wind mitigation and carrier. What we can give you are the rules that move it. Under section 627.7011, an insurer may not refuse to write or renew a home solely because the roof is under 15 years old, and an older roof with an inspection showing at least 5 years of life left is also protected from refusal on age alone.

Citizens Property Insurance requires a four-point inspection on homes more than 20 years old and proof of at least five years of remaining life for shingle roofs over 25 years and tile or metal roofs over 50 years. Florida law requires insurers to offer discounts for documented wind-loss features under section 627.0629, and the wind mitigation inspection form changed to OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26) for inspections on or after April 1, 2026. The state's My Safe Florida Home program advertises free wind mitigation inspections and grants of up to $10,000 when funds are available. The statewide market has turned toward decreases: Citizens cut its 2026 homeowners multiperil rates by an average 8.8 percent statewide, and the state insurance regulator counted 17 new insurers since the reforms. Get the four-point, roof and wind mitigation reports early, and get both a homeowners and a flood quote before your inspection period ends.

Closing costs for a Lehigh Acres buyer

Florida sets several closing charges by statute. On a $300,000 purchase with a $285,000 loan, the buyer's documentary stamp tax on the note and mortgage is $997.50 (35 cents per $100) and the intangible tax is $570.00 (2 mills), and recording runs $10 for the first page and $8.50 for each additional page.

Data updated: October 2026.

The deed carries documentary stamps of 70 cents per $100, or $2,100.00 on $300,000, which by custom is a seller cost, though the contract controls. Title insurance premiums in Florida are state-promulgated, so the rate is fixed by rule rather than shopped, and Lee County is described in a 2015 Attorneys' Title Fund article as a traditional seller-pay county for the owner's policy, which is negotiable. A cash buyer pays no note stamps or intangible tax. Lender fees, settlement fees, prepaid taxes and insurance, and escrow deposits come on top; your lender's loan estimate and the title company's settlement statement are the final word.

How do you buy a home in Lehigh Acres?

Get a lender pre-approval, sign a short written buyer agreement before touring, compare recorded sales for the exact plat section, then write an offer with an inspection period. The Florida As-Is contract defaults to a 15-day inspection period and a 30-day loan approval period when left blank, so a financed closing using those defaults runs about 30 to 45 days, though the contract sets the actual date.

Data updated: October 2026.

The steps are the same as anywhere in Florida, with Lehigh-specific checks layered on. Before the first showing, Florida practice since August 17, 2024 is a written buyer agreement that states how your agent is paid. Ask for the disclosures listed below at or before contract. Use the inspection period for the four-point, roof, wind mitigation, septic and well checks, and use the loan approval period to lock the insurance binder, which on an older Lehigh Acres home often needs the four-point, roof and wind mitigation reports. Florida's common law (Johnson v. Davis, 1985) also requires a seller who knows of facts materially affecting value that are not readily observable to disclose them. This is general information about buying a home in Lehigh Acres, not legal, tax, lending or insurance advice.

Loan limits and programs for 2026

For 2026, the FHA one-unit limit is the $541,287 national floor, which a loan-limit lookup shows for Lee County, and the conforming limit is $832,750, both effective January 1, 2026. Veterans with full VA entitlement have no VA loan limit. Florida's Hometown Heroes program offers eligible first-time buyers up to 5 percent of the first mortgage, from $10,000 to a $35,000 maximum.

Hometown Heroes reopened in July 2026 with $50 million, according to news reports, and funding is first come, first served, so it may already be used up; ask a Florida Housing participating lender whether 2026 funds remain. Florida Housing says there is no cost to apply. For USDA loans, we do not say whether any Lehigh Acres address is eligible: check the address on USDA's eligibility map, save the dated result, and have your lender confirm it.

Disclosures you will receive in Florida

Florida law requires several disclosures on a residential sale, most of them at or before the contract. The flood, radon, property tax and energy-efficiency notices apply to resales generally; the HOA summary applies only to homes in a mandatory association, and condo resale documents only to condominiums.

Disclosure	Statute	What it covers	Timing and remedy
Flood	s. 689.302	known flood damage during ownership, flood insurance claims, flood assistance	at or before the contract, since October 1, 2025
Radon	s. 404.056(5)	notice that radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas	on at least one document at or before the contract
Property tax	s. 689.261	"buyer should not rely on the seller's current property taxes"	at or before the contract
Energy efficiency	s. 553.996	information on the option for an energy-efficiency rating	at or before the contract
HOA disclosure summary	s. 720.401	mandatory membership, covenants, assessments, possible special district assessments	before signing; if late, buyer may void within 3 days after receipt or before closing, whichever first
Condominium resale documents	s. 718.503(2)	declaration, budget, milestone inspection summary, reserve study and more	voidable within 7 days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receipt
Condominium developer sale	s. 718.503(1)	contract must state it is voidable	15 days after signing and receipt

Inspections that matter on a Lehigh Acres home

The Lehigh Acres checklist goes beyond a general home inspection because of the housing age, the well and septic mix and the platted grid. Order the four-point, roof and wind mitigation reports for insurance, inspect and pump the septic, test the well, search municipal liens and open permits, survey the lot, and verify wiring instructions by phone.

• Four-point inspection. Citizens requires one on homes more than 20 years old: roof, electrical, plumbing and HVAC, by a Florida-licensed inspector. Many homes built in the 2000s, the largest group in Lehigh Acres, are now past that line.
• Roof. Shingle roofs over 25 years and tile or metal roofs over 50 years need proof of five years of remaining life for Citizens; under section 627.7011, roofs under 15 years cannot be the sole reason for a refusal.
• Wind mitigation. Use form OIR-B1-1802 (Rev. 04/26), required for inspections on or after April 1, 2026, to document roof shape, straps and opening protection for premium credits.
• Septic. Order an inspection and pump-out, ask for the original permit date, and learn the drainfield location; the state cannot require a point-of-sale inspection, so it is up to you.
• Well. Test for bacteria and nitrate at a certified lab, and have the pump and well inspected; ask Lee County Natural Resources for the well permit record.
• Drywall. The Consumer Product Safety Commission says problem drywall reports centered on homes built in 2006 to 2007; ask your inspector to look for darkened copper on wiring, plumbing and AC coils.
• Municipal lien search and open permits. A municipal lien search is separate from the title search and turns up code liens, unpaid utility charges, open or expired permits and special assessments that title policies exclude.
• Survey. On a grid of small lots, a boundary survey confirms the house, fence, driveway, pool and sheds sit on the lot you are buying.
• Wire fraud. Wiring instructions never change by email. Call your title company at a number you already have before sending funds; the FBI's IC3 counted more than $275 million in 2025 real estate fraud losses, as reported by the National Association of Realtors. If money goes to the wrong account, call your bank and file at ic3.gov the same day.

What schools serve Lehigh Acres homes?

The Lee County School District runs 15 district schools with Lehigh Acres addresses, counting Elementary L, which opened in August 2026 on a temporary campus: 9 elementary or K-8, 4 middle and 2 high schools. Two charter high schools are also there, and a new high school is set for August 2027. Confirm the assigned school with the district.

Data updated: October 2026.

Two new schools are dated. "Elementary L" opened its first year in August 2026 on a temporary campus at 900 Gunnery Road North, between Lehigh Senior High School and Varsity Lakes Middle School; its permanent campus at 17250 State Road 82 is set to open for 1,000 students in August 2028, and the district names its three finalist names as Bright, Green Meadow and Lucky Lee Elementary. "High School NNN," at 21700 Tuckahoe Road, which the district gives an Alva address, opens August 2027 with capacity for 2,000 students. Final names are set by the School Board, so check the district's announcements.

Assignment in Lee County depends on the address. Elementary and middle school assignment is proximity based, and high school uses choice zones with subzones and a ranked application. The School Board approved the 2026-27 Plan for Student Enrollment on December 1, 2025; open enrollment for 2026-27 opened January 20, 2026 and ran fully online, and news reports say district busing is not provided to students living under two miles from school. Confirm the zone for the exact address with the district's Student Enrollment office before you sign a contract. Florida publishes a letter grade for each public school every summer, and the 2025-26 grades were released July 1, 2026; check the Florida Department of Education's school grades for the year rather than relying on any summary. The East County Regional Library, part of the Lee County Library System, is at 881 Gunnery Road North.

What is changing in Lehigh Acres?

Roads, water plants, retail and health care are moving. FDOT is widening SR 82 east of Lehigh Acres, with completion set for spring 2027. FGUA finished phase one of a new water plant in August 2026, Sembler announced two shopping centers at Daniels Parkway and SR 82 in July 2026, and Lee Health plans an outpatient center for 2027.

Data updated: October 2026.

Roads. SR 82 is already four lanes divided from Alabama Road to Homestead Road and to the Lee and Hendry county line, both completed under FDOT projects archived in 2022, and the next segment east, from the Hendry County line to Gator Slough Lane, about 3.8 miles, is under construction at $52 million with completion set for spring 2027. Lee County's road budget carries the Alico Road Connector from Alico Road to SR 82 opposite Sunshine Boulevard at a $441,948,004 project total; news reports give phase dates, but we do not print a completion date without a county schedule. Inside Lehigh Acres, Lee County DOT maintains about 1,500 miles of paved roads, and the department says it receives more than 1,000 paving requests a year. In December 2024 the county approved converting 62 unpaved road segments, 13.9 lane miles, for $1 million, and in November 2024 it approved repaving 25.1 lane miles of northern Lehigh Acres for $1.7 million; in March 2026, WGCU reported more resurfacing contracts covering 15.63 lane miles.

Water and drainage. FGUA's Water Treatment Plant No. 2 began producing water in August 2026, and the Lehigh wastewater plant expansion is due by the end of 2026. The LA-MSID's CREST Phase III storage and treatment project carried a final completion date of September 30, 2026, after a schedule extension; we have not confirmed that it finished. None of this extends sewer to the grid; see the water section above.

Retail. On July 28, 2026, The Sembler Company announced Gateway Marketplace, about 245,000 square feet on about 40 acres anchored by a 54,964 square foot Publix and a 135,000 square foot Home Depot, and Creekside Marketplace, about 250,000 square feet on about 41 acres, at Daniels Parkway and SR 82, which Sembler calls one of the two main entrances into Lehigh Acres. Lee Boulevard remains the main retail corridor, with the Walmart Supercenter at 2523 Lee Blvd.

Health care. HCA Florida Healthcare completed its purchase of Lehigh Regional Medical Center from Prime Healthcare, announced February 27, 2025, and renamed it HCA Florida Lehigh Hospital: a 53-bed hospital at 1500 Lee Blvd with 24-hour emergency care. Lee Health announced in August 2026 an outpatient center at The Forum, off SR 82, with primary care, Lee Convenient Care and lab services and space for up to eleven providers, scheduled to open in 2027.

Schools, fire and broadband. Elementary L is on its temporary Gunnery Road campus for 2026 to 2027 and a new high school is set for August 2027, as above. The Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District opened its seventh station, Station 107 at 5105 Leonard Blvd S, on September 12, 2024. Comcast announced a network expansion reaching more than 11,000 Lehigh Acres homes in August 2025.

Approvals. East Lee County News reported in November 2023 that the Lehigh Acres planning district had 38 active developments totalling 8,012 residential units, 2,645,134 square feet of commercial and 438,400 square feet of industrial space, including the 1,468-home Savanna Lakes expansion and 810 remaining homes at Sunniland Town Center. Those are approvals reported by a newspaper, not built homes; check the county's records for current status.

How does Lehigh Acres compare with North Fort Myers, Alva, Cape Coral and Fort Myers?

On the same county basis, Lehigh Acres had the lowest single-family median of the five Lee County roll cities compared here: $300,000 on 2,815 sales, against $319,900 in North Fort Myers, $379,750 in Cape Coral, $390,000 in Alva and $416,950 for the Fort Myers mailing city.

Utility and lot facts for Lehigh Acres from Lee County and the county roll; CRS classes from WGCU reporting (July 19, 2024). "Not compared here" means we did not source that fact for that place on this page.

The comparison is about housing, not people. If your need is a house on its own lot near $300,000, Lehigh Acres had the lowest single-family median of the five places compared here. If Cape Coral is also on your list, see our Cape Coral homes for sale page, where Cape Coral's 5,238 single-family sales at a $379,750 median sit in their own context. Alva recorded 278 sales at $390,000 and North Fort Myers 1,004 sales at $319,900; we name both without a separate page for now. Whatever the place, compare the same things: utilities for the exact parcel, flood zone, assessments and the drive you will make every day.

Parks, golf and recreation in Lehigh Acres

Lehigh Acres' largest natural area is Harns Marsh, 578 acres owned and managed by the LA-MSID and open dawn to dusk. Veterans Park and Recreation Center on Homestead Road South covers about 95 acres, according to a Florida guide. Golf comes from two 18-hole clubs, Ibis Landing and The Club at Westminster, plus a 9-hole course at the Lehigh Resort Club.

Data updated: October 2026.

Harns Marsh was farmland that became a stormwater facility in the early 1980s, and the LA-MSID lists more than 140 bird species there, including snail kites and limpkins. It is reached off Sunshine Boulevard via Olive Avenue North and 38th Street West, and it closes in high water. The district also manages the Greenbrier, Halfway Pond and Meadowbrook Park preserves, and Lee County's 625-acre Frank Mann Preserve is part of the drainage system described in the flood section. Visit Florida also lists the Hickey Creek Wildlife and Environmental Area, Wild Turkey Strand and the Lehigh Acres Trailhead Park.

On the county roll, 1,383 Lehigh Acres parcels are flagged with golf frontage, 2,193 with lake frontage and 58 with canal frontage, out of 122,278. The 311 miles of LA-MSID canals are part of the drainage and water-control system, and the canal rights-of-way behind lots are District-maintained land, so a fence, dock or crossing on District land needs an LA-MSID permit.

Where is Lehigh Acres, and how far is it from the airport?

Lehigh Acres is in eastern Lee County, about 15 miles east of Fort Myers, roughly 25 to 30 minutes by car according to Visit Florida, which puts Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) about 20 miles and 30 minutes away via I-75 and Colonial Boulevard. Because Lehigh Acres covers about 94 square miles, your drive depends on your corner.

Data updated: October 2026.

Three corridors connect Lehigh Acres to I-75. Lee Boulevard runs west and becomes Colonial Boulevard to I-75 Exit 136. Gunnery Road runs south and becomes Daniels Parkway, which reaches I-75 at Exit 131 and the airport by way of Treeline Avenue, about half a mile east of the interstate. SR 82, which forms the southern edge of Lehigh Acres, reaches I-75 at Exit 138; the SR 82 and Gunnery Road junction became Florida's first continuous-flow intersection in July 2019. For the Fort Myers side of the region, see our Fort Myers homes for sale page; Gateway, at Daniels Parkway and SR 82, sits just southwest of Lehigh Acres.

What does the Census report for Lehigh Acres housing?

The 2020 Census counted 114,287 people in the Lehigh Acres census-designated place, on 92.69 square miles of land, or 1,232.9 people per square mile. The Census Bureau's American Community Survey for 2020 to 2024 reports an owner-occupied housing rate of 70.0 percent and a median owner-occupied home value of $292,400.

These are survey estimates with margins of error. The $292,400 ACS home value is a different measure from the $300,000 recorded single-family median on this page: the ACS asks owners to estimate their own home's value over five years, while the county records closed sales in one 12-month window.

What we do on a Lehigh Acres purchase. For this page we tracked every qualified Lehigh Acres sale in the Lee County file: we tracked 3,741 single-family-type sales and 2,871 vacant lot sales in the latest 12-month county window. On every Lehigh Acres home or lot, we work through the same five checks before you remove your inspection contingency:

1. Confirm the utilities for the exact parcel. We check FGUA's address map and the seller's bills to see whether the home is on FGUA water and sewer or on a private well and septic, because under half of Lehigh Acres has FGUA water and about 38 percent has central sewer.
2. Read the septic permit and its age. On a septic home we ask for the original permit date and the system's history, and we schedule an inspection and pump-out, because no point-of-sale inspection is required by law.
3. Check the LA-MSID and fire assessment lines. We pull the parcel's current tax bill to read the drainage district and fire district assessments, which are not millage and do not show up in a simple tax estimate.
4. Pull the recorded sales for the exact plat section. We compare the home with county-recorded sales in its own plat section and build decade, not just the ZIP median, because medians move from $142,500 to $445,000 across the sections in the community table, and some rows mix condos or duplexes with houses.
5. Check the lot's plat date before you buy to build. On a vacant lot we confirm the plat date and size against the half-acre well and septic rule and its pre-1972 exemption, and we check the nitrogen-reducing septic rule for the address.

What county is Lehigh Acres in?

Lehigh Acres is in Lee County, Florida. It is unincorporated, so Lee County handles permits, roads and zoning, and the county roll lists 122,278 parcels with a Lehigh Acres site city. A small part of the wider Lehigh Acres area lies in Hendry County, which has its own tax stack and is not covered on this page.

Is Lehigh Acres its own city?

No. Lehigh Acres is an unincorporated census-designated place with no city government. Lee County governs it, the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District provides fire service, and the LA-MSID, created by the Legislature on June 10, 2015, handles canals and drainage. The 2020 Census counted 114,287 people there.

What ZIP codes are in Lehigh Acres?

Lehigh Acres covers six delivery ZIP codes: 33936, 33971, 33972, 33973, 33974 and 33976. ZIP 33970 is a P.O. Box ZIP only. In the latest 12-month county window, 33974 recorded the most single-family sales (789) and 33973 the fewest (35).

How much is a lot in Lehigh Acres?

The county recorded 2,871 vacant lot sales at a $22,800 median, with a middle range of $18,000 to $28,000, and a median sold lot of 0.25 acre. ZIP medians ran from $19,500 in 33974 to $49,500 in 33973. The lot median was $6,700 in 2016 and $23,000 in 2025.

Can I build on a Lehigh Acres lot?

Usually, if the lot passes its checks. You need a water and wastewater path (FGUA service or a permitted well and septic), a lot that meets the half-acre well and septic rule or was platted before 1972, the nitrogen-reducing septic rule where it applies, any LA-MSID permit, and a Lee County building permit with impact fees, which were about $10,047 in the county's 2023 table.

Do Lehigh Acres homes have city water?
