Residents enjoy Eagle Ridge’s casual and convenient lifestyle

Eagle Ridge is a golf course community with a prime location, about 10 miles south of Downtown Fort Myers. “The city has like 50 golf courses, but I always tell people Eagle Ridge is a great one to live on if you want a casual and convenient lifestyle,” says Linda Dwyer, a sales associate with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty who has sold several houses in the area. Locals often spend their days playing in golf leagues with their neighbors, driving golf carts along palm tree-lined streets and hanging out at HOA-maintained recreational spaces. The neighborhood is also near Southwest Florida International Airport, MLB training centers and several major thoroughfares, like County Road 876, locally known as Daniels Parkway. “A lot of families and retired folks move here because it’s near the center of Fort Myers’ action, but the neighborhood itself is really quiet,” Dwyer says.

Eagle Ridge Golf Club is the neighborhood's social hub

Small Lakes and native trees dot Eagle Ridge Golf Club’s 18-hole course, which offers public tee times and membership options. “There’s no fancy clubhouse or restaurant, but that simplicity keeps it from being a busy golf destination,” Dwyer says. Although residents aren’t required to join, many choose to. “It’s the social heart of the neighborhood,” Dwyer says. “People ask their neighbors to play a few rounds, or they join the leagues, and that’s how everyone gets to know each other.” Residents do have to pay monthly HOA fees to help maintain landscaping and recreational spaces, which include swimming pools, tennis courts and playgrounds.

MLB spring training facilities are nearby

The Minnesota Twins have spring training at the Lee Health Sports Complex near Eagle Ridge’s west side. The six-diamond facility is also home to the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels, a Minor League Baseball team. “People love living near that complex because watching any sort of baseball in Fort Myers is just as popular as golfing,” Dwyer says. JetBlue Park, about 5 miles east, hosts the Boston Red Sox’s spring training. Lakes Park, the city’s largest green space, is less than 6 miles west and has hiking paths, fishing spots and paddleboat launches. The white sand shoreline of Fort Myers Beach is about 15 miles south.
