Bonita Springs, Estero & South Lee

I-75 / US-41 South

The affluent southern corridor of Lee County along I-75 and US-41, stretching from San Carlos Park south through Estero to Bonita Springs at the Collier County line. Estero, incorporated as a village in 2014, is anchored by Coconut Point and Miromar Outlets shopping, FGCU (Florida Gulf Coast University), and Hertz Arena. Bonita Springs blends beach-town charm along Bonita Beach Road with gated golf communities and preserves like the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve. San Carlos Park is a large unincorporated residential area south of Fort Myers proper. This region serves as the metro's upscale southern gateway.
