Lehigh Acres, Florida is a very close knit community with a "hometown" atmosphere. It is a town that prides itself in the traditional family values and the small hometown spirit that many of its residents cherish from their childhood in the northeast and Midwest. It is a community of aspiring young families and active retiree families.
With the families are children of all ages that quickly prompted new schools along with football, soccer and other sports. We have many functions for the retirees including four (and soon to be five) 18 hole championship golf courses.
