On this page, East Fort Myers means the Lee County area east of the City of Fort Myers along Palm Beach Boulevard, including the Tice census-designated place and the Orange River area, using ZIP Code Tabulation Area 33905 as the mailing ZIP. It does not include the rural area farther east in the Buckingham and Alva guide. Whether a house sits inside the City of Fort Myers is decided parcel by parcel.
What counts as East Fort Myers
The boundary is informal, so this page uses one written definition and sticks to it. East Fort Myers here means the Lee County area east of the City of Fort Myers along Palm Beach Boulevard, including Tice and the Orange River area, with 33905 as the mailing ZIP this guide uses. It stops short of the area in the Buckingham and Alva guide. A Fort Myers mailing city does not, by itself, mean the parcel is inside the city. Check Lee County GIS and the city boundary map for the address.
Areas inside this definition
Tice
The Census Bureau 2020 place list records Tice as a census-designated place in Lee County. A CDP is a statistical area, not a city.
Orange River
The Orange River is the waterway buyers name when they look at this side of Fort Myers. Flood zone and frontage are parcel facts. This page does not describe a subdivision called Orange River.
Palm Beach Boulevard
Palm Beach Boulevard is the corridor in this definition. State Road 80, Interstate 75, and State Road 31 are the highways to check for a commute. This page does not publish drive times.
Home types and ages
Year built and property type are on the Lee County Property Appraiser record for the address. This page does not summarize them. The area is not one subdivision, and no age range was verified for it.
River, flood zone, and insurance
The Caloosahatchee River and the Orange River are the water to ask about. They do not put every parcel in one flood zone. A countywide explanation of how to read a zone is in the Southwest Florida flood zone guide.
- Open the FEMA Map Service Center and search the street address.
- Read the zone for that parcel. Do not copy a neighbor's zone.
- Get an insurance quote for the same address.
Commute
From this definition, the roads to check are Palm Beach Boulevard, State Road 80, Interstate 75, and State Road 31. No drive time is stated here, because it depends on the house and the hour.
Schools
Lee County assigns schools by address. Use the zone lookup at Lee County Schools for the house. This page does not name a campus.
