The Paradise Coast in Lee and Collier Counties

Imagine living in a cosmopolitan area where you can find dynamic growth, strong work ethics, community kinship, arts, culture, sports, and luxury all in consistent 75 degree sunny weather! Welcome to Lee and Collier counties – The Paradise Coast.

Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Naples and Estero used to be seasonal destinations. Today, with more companies expanding and relocating major facilities to the area, it has become a year round spot still with a resort like feel. Recognizing the on-going growth, the Lee County Port Authority funded with grants from the Federal Aviation Administration and the Florida Department of Transportation invested $438 million dollars to re-build the new and improved South West Florida Airport which has quickly become a corporate traveler’s dream with its frequent flights to major hubs.
These delightful areas not only attract the retired CEO, but younger entrepreneurs and executives, many who maintain homes and offices in the North. Proud of its many colleges and universities such as Florida Gulf Coast University, Ave Maria, and Edison and International colleges, there is also an abundance of professors and faculty flocking to the area.

There is a huge range of housing prices depending on what type of amenities you require such as water front, boat docks, golf course, gated community and/or acreage. There are no skyscrapers here, but you don't need a giant metropolis to find all the benefits of a city like Naples. Fort Myers is revitalizing its downtown, but it already has some big draws, including the historic Edison & Ford Winter Estates and the City of Palms Park, where the Boston Red Sox play during spring training. And while the Paradise Coast is known in general for the upper housing values, there is plenty of affordable housing whether it lies East of Interstate 75 (the main North-South route) or in some of the smaller rural areas.
If you are lucky enough to relocate to the Paradise Coast, throw away your winter coats and buy yourself a good pair of sunglasses. Not only are there many valuable resources and friendly people who will help you make an educated decision which town to live, simply ask the President of OneWorld Relocation who works and lives in Naples, Florida.
