Homes and wiring in Fort Myers

Fort Myers sits on the Caloosahatchee River in southwest Florida, with historic homes in Dean Park and along McGregor Boulevard, mid-century neighborhoods and fast-growing subdivisions. In September 2022, Hurricane Ian devastated the area, with storm surge flooding homes along the river and on Fort Myers Beach and leaving most of Lee County without power.

Many homes were rebuilt or repaired after Ian, often with new panels raised above flood level. Older homes may still have original panels or brands insurers question, and pools and docks add their own circuits.
