Town & River is a well-established and highly desirable waterfront community in Fort Myers, known for its scenic canals and direct access to the Caloosahatchee River—making it a true boater’s paradise. Most homes sit on deep-water canals, many with private docks, giving you effortless access to the open waters and Gulf beyond. The neighborhood blends peaceful residential charm with luxury coastal living, where beautifully updated homes and classic Florida character coexist. Its location along historic McGregor Boulevard puts you minutes from everyday conveniences and local attractions, while still feeling like a serene retreat right on the water.

Whether you’re watching boats float by at sunset or enjoying morning coffee with river views, Town & River feels like the best of both worlds—relaxing and tranquil, yet perfectly positioned to explore all Southwest Florida has to offer.

Why It’s the Best of Both Worlds: Town & River offers guests the serenity of waterfront living—quiet canals, boating access, and scenic streets—while keeping you close to everything you want to experience in Fort Myers. You’re just minutes from lively downtown dining, local bars, and cultural experiences, and a short drive to Sanibel Island, Captiva Island, and pristine Gulf beaches. It’s the perfect combination of a peaceful vacation escape and easy access to adventure, exploration, and fantastic food.

Fort Myers & Sanibel are easy to navigate, and this neighborhood offers excellent access to beaches, dining, and local attractions. Fort Myers & Sanibel Beaches are just a short drive away, making it convenient for day trips, sunset strolls, and waterfront dining.

For guests who prefer not to drive, the Fort Myers Beach Trolley (LeeTran) is a great option. It runs along the Fort Myers Beach corridor, offering an affordable and stress-free way to reach the beach, avoid parking challenges, and explore the island.

Uber and Lyft are also readily available in this area, perfect for quick rides to restaurants, marinas, shopping, or the beach during busy times.

While a rental car provides the most flexibility—especially for visiting Sanibel, Captiva, downtown Fort Myers, and surrounding areas—you’ll find plenty of convenient transportation options to make getting around simple and enjoyable.
