4175 Castilla Circle, Unit 204, THE VILLAS AT VENEZIAFort Myers, FL 33916Rental Price: $1,399

Villas at Venezia, a community centrally located in the Metro Park area of Fort Myers. The living areas are finished in tile with carpet only in the bedrooms, giving you easy-maintenance main living space and a softer, quieter feel where you actually want it. The screened lanai looks directly out over the community pool, a genuine view rather than a parking lot, and one of the better outdoor spots in the community. The lanai also includes a storage closet, which is a real advantage in a condo where closet space is at a premium. Being on the second floor means no foot traffic overhead and added privacy. Residents enjoy a community pool, clubhouse, and fitness center. Pets are welcome. Trash removal is included with your rent. The location puts you minutes from I-75 and US 41, so almost anywhere in Lee County is a straightforward drive. Parkway Center is under half a mile and Metro Plaza is a short walk, with Edison Mall and the Bell Tower Shops close by. Downtown Fort Myers and the River District are a short drive, along with the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, the Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium, and the Imaginarium. Southwest Florida International Airport is about eighteen minutes out. The community is served by the School District of Lee County, with Ray V. Pottorf Elementary and Colonial Elementary, Fort Myers Middle Academy and Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle School, and Fort Myers High School and Dunbar High School in the proximity zone. Hodges University is roughly two miles away, Florida SouthWestern State College about fifteen minutes, and Florida Gulf Coast University twenty-five. Lee County uses a school choice assignment system, so applicants should verify current availability directly with the district.
