r/FortMyers

I recently got accepted into a doctorate program at FGCU and will be moving down to Fort Meyers.

Im ballin' on a MEGA budget to get through more schooling. Any housing recommendations or places I should stay away from?

The Grove/Portofino is offering 2007/mo rent at the moment and I am looking to split that with 2 others. So that would bring my base rent down to 600-700ish.

Budget: Low as possible while still being in a safe area.
Anything I don't spend on rent is what I am then able to use to buy food, essentials, and gas.

This is just a season of tight spending - so I am willing to stay somewhere kinda crappy if its safe enough!

Any advice or thoughts?

THANKS!

I’m trying to decide between Pink Shell and Lani Kai resorts in Ft. Myers.

This trip will be just 2 adults, no kids. A weekend trip to just have drink, eat good food and relax.

Thank you for any insight!

Where would a man acquire a case of BUSCH APPLE 🍎? Looked at the Walmart off colonial and

they didn't have it. Suggestions of where to go?

I'd appreciate it! Thank you

Hi guys

I just got a job in the Fort Lauderdale area and unfortunately have to move. I do have a lease here that I need someone to take over for me. It is a 2/2 by the intersection of daniels and 6 mile. Really good location and I loved the place. I lived here for almost 3 years now and if I ever move back will absolutely move into this apartment complex again.

You will have a roommate, 27M, and the rent is 1600 + utilities. We split the rent 750/850 with the larger room paying more. Current roommate is open to taking either room. You will just have to pay your rent portion and $250 security upon move-in. Room is available starting May 1st and lease ends Feb of 2027.

Please reach out if you have any questions! Thanks!

Anyone know where I can get live blue crabs locally?

I have prior experience in retail and light administrative/dispatching type work, but would be very interested in learning how to do automotive detailing or pressure washing work.

I need minimum 30 hours a week, and minimum $16/hr, can start immediately and would be happy to send a resume!

*Ideally looking for Monday to Friday anywhere between 9am and 6pm, saturday mornings negotiable.

I’ve lived here several years but my friend is coming next month for 5 days. We’ve never been able to have this much time together in fort Myers/cape and I want to show her my new home.

Ideas for restaurants/bars/hangouts and a bit of touristy stuff too? It’ll be memorial weekend so that might help with events

Hello! I am currently working at a corporate chain and looking to transition into a more community-focused pizzeria with an emphasis on quality. I genuinely enjoy making pizzas and have experience in fast-paced kitchen environments. I can share some videos of myself throwing dough to show my skill level if needed. I am in the Cypress Lake area and have lived in SWFL my whole life. If you are hiring or can point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

I'm researching the long-term impact of hurricanes on local wildlife and infrastructure and was wondering whether anyone on this subreddit has insights into the lasting impact of Ian on shellfish life on Sanibel or birdlife in places like Ding Darling. Have things basically recovered, and if so, by around when? Can you still notice differences, and if so, what? Thanks!

Who have you used to fix your washer? It's a 2-yr old Whirlpool stacked w/d unit getting stuck in drain/spin mode. No way to shut it off when this happens - have to unplug which makes dryer useless. Looking for show up when they say they will and reasonable pricing. TIA for any leads!

I felt as if I owe you all an update!

I’ve been doing a lot of silent politicking between the School District of Lee County, LeeTran, and FGCU. At the time of writing I am 27 pages into my official research paper on the topic. Once I finish my paperI will present it to the public!

I have spoken to the Head of LeeTran, several county managers, the student body president of FGCU, School District of Lee County educators and administrators, as well as members of the community on the topic. They all loved it! I’ll be meeting each respective stakeholder separately discussing the topic before bringing them all together for one final series of discussions.

So I’d like to thank you all for your support and giving feedback on the goal! Hopefully this will be finalized and benefit all of Lee County.

Sincerely, Dominic Hendricks.

Do you know anyone who does lasers for concerts?
