Lehigh Acres is one of the fastest growing communities and covers much of eastern Lee County. Lehigh Acres is known for its variety of heritages that include Hispanic, German, Caribbean, Oriental and Black. Many younger families are calling Lehigh Acres home due to its affordable home prices. For those who can afford more, there are more upscale developments on golf courses.
The hub of Lehigh Acres is Homestead Road to Alabama Road. Here you will find most of the shopping, restaurants, the hospital and other services. Lehigh Acres has many leagues for youth sports, a senior citizens center with activities, and a regional library. Lehigh Acres was a private ranch until 1954, when it was turned into a residential development by its owner Lee Ratner. |
