    Fort Myers Beach North End

    Even though the island of Fort Myers Beach is only 7 miles long,the city limits go physically beyond  Estero island. It is also composed of its small sister, San Carlos Island,  along the north bridge or Matanza pass and in the South end of the island it carries on a few miles towards Bonita Springs. Simply put Fort Myers Beach  goes beyond  both north and south bridge.

    On the major island of Estero island of Fort Myers Beach, there are many different areas with its own style and distinct qualities. Physically its divided  into three major areas. North end, middle island and south end. North End is located just north of Town Square, ergo the name.

    It is a strongly sought after location due to the fact that the at the very end of the beach there is a preserve,and,  before that, a famous resort called The Pink Shell smack on the gulf. Besides a few more condos and single homes on the gulf side, Bay homes in Fort Myers Beach are also located along a few streets and circles along the East side on the North End of the Island. The views of the bay are wide and spectacular. Other streets have gulf access canals. One of these areas is along San Carlos Circle shown on the video.

       What makes a good investment on the island? What is a Fort Myers Beach buyer looking for? There are no real bad street in Fort Myers Beach.

        A few major factors will make for a better deal In Fort Myers Beach. A good elevation, a strong roof, no mold please, a sound structure, electrical and plumbing and comparables which show that it is a good deal. Close to the beach is of course a plus, but you don’t want to be smack next to Estero Blvd, unless you miss the sound of the city.

    Lloyd's top 10, Part I, 12/04/08, 4 single homes, Fort Myers Beach

      This list is part of a system I started roughly a year ago...

    Due to the positive response I will add similar posts in the future which will focus on different style of homes, condos, waterfront properties and foreclosures in different areas and communities of Southwest Florida. You will be able to find them with the Title "Lloyd's Top Ten" , with the date and the type of property.

    Note: These favorite picks reflects only my point of view, they are above all based on location, price and overall strength of the property. The following represent my top 10 in Fort Myers Beach for single homes under $325,000 on dry lot.These are the first four as of the 12/04/08.  You may contact me for my custom made services and direct private access to the MLS through the following link among others:

    Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931-2604  - 
    Listing Price: $190,000 

    County: Lee -

    Realtor's note: At first when I saw this home I thought"what is this?" Its not particularly pretty, its small with only 557 square feet and a garage of 160 square feet, and the lot is only 40' x 80' , which, even though not unusual on the island, is a bit stingy.The I looked more carefully and saw that a deck was added in 2002, and one may have our own business on the property. It is located in the business district of Fort Myers Beach.

    The pilings are ridiculously small in height  but I will give it a pass, as at least it not built smack on ground level.Its all about the price and as of today its one of the lowest priced single homes on the island and this home makes a lot of sense just because you can rent it very easily as is or upgrade it, raise the pilings for example and make it larger.For the money its a good investment.  Courtesy of Re/Max

     


    Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931-3237
    Listing Price: $245,000

    County: Lee -

    Agent's note: When I saw the picture I was turned off by the odd design.I drove by and it amazing how pictures usually make a home look better. Not in this case. The home is actually located on a very decent street , very close to the beach, maybe 3 mn walk, and the overall design is in fact quite pleasant.It has 1196 square feet, quite normal for the island, and has a one bedroom legal unit on the first floor.Now now, this is getting more and more interesting. They can get $800 for the top and $400 for the 1st floor.

      Great for investors or new homesteaders who want a bit of an income. The exposed beans in the living room are pretty cool. The owner is giving a $1200 for carpet and is considering holding a partial note.

    Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931-3236

    Listing Price: $269,000

    County: Lee -

    Agent's notes: The inside is hot hot hot.Completely remodeled up to the studs and they did a good job.Don't take my word for it, take a look.New plumbing, wiring, raised ceiling, new kitchen, bathrooms et...ok, that is good.The square footage is so-so at 1024 square feet, but again one could add for example a lanai and that would work very well. I am not crazy about the roof, but then one could get a new one for $4000-$5000...unless you want to do it yourself with your nephew! Great for the high tech buyers.Each room is set up for cable and Internet access.Was at $319K in July 2008. Courtesy of Sellstate Premier Realty Network



    Fort Myers Beach, FL 33931-4138
    5536 Palmeto St

    Agent's notes: clean exterior on pilings build in 1989, this home of 1348 square feet allows weekly rentals with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Its has a bonus office room.Also a workshop. Bathrooms have been updated and the whole home is pretty much turn keep.

    The counter tops in the kitchen are mediocre but overall a good investment with a 2 car garage under the home. It has a fair amount of floor tiles. A nice street. Courtesy of lahaina Realty.


    Listing Price: $299,900
