Southwind Amenities
Residents of Southwind love that they’re so close to dozens of popular South Fort Myers destinations but live in a community that feels miles away from the city.
Just outside the private entry gates, Southwind owners can get to countless restaurants featuring every style of cuisine, supermarkets, pharmacies and big box retailers, doctor and other medical provider’s offices, banking and brokerage firms and much more.
But the key to this great setting may be the easy 15-minute drive to spend the day having lunch along the Gulf of Mexico on Fort Myers Beach or take the kids to tropical Sanibel Island.
Residents can greet arriving guests at the Southwest Florida International Airport in about 25 minutes from home or enjoy a live performance at the Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall or a spring training baseball game at the Minnesota Twins complex, each just 15 minutes away.
Southwind is the perfect place to call home, whether you’re retiring to enjoy the Florida good life or want a secure, secluded spot for your young family.
