It's a solid pick for families who want space and a range of nearby schools, including Gateway, Sunshine, and Harns Marsh elementary campuses. The area is quiet and residential, with large lots typical of Lehigh Acres. With 601 homes sold in the past year, it's an active, established community rather than a sleepy outpost.

Not by Southwest Florida standards — the median list price is $344,990 and homes run about $218 per square foot. Listings range widely from $49,900 up to $2,200,000, but only 3 active homes are priced above $1M, so the market skews affordable. See current Lehigh Acres homes for sale for the full spread.

The median sold price over the last 12 months was $325,000, just below the current median list of $344,990. With a median home size of 1,633 sqft, most buyers are landing three-bedroom homes in the low-to-mid $300s. There are also 49 waterfront and 30 pool listings if you want to reach higher.

It's balanced and steady — homes sell in a median of 51 days, and sellers are getting about 98% of their asking price. With 480 active listings and 267 of them new construction, buyers have real choice and some negotiating room. Watch the live map to track what's coming on and going under contract.

Property taxes are low here, with a median of just $795 per year. HOA fees run a median of $400 per month, largely tied to the newer and gated communities — of which there are 39 active gated listings. Always confirm the specific HOA structure on any home, since many resale properties in the zone carry no association at all.
