Although these neighborhoods may harbor (overt) criminals, I have visited each one as a home health clinician since 2007 and never felt unsafe (in the daytime). The people I have met have all been generally nice but struggling with low income issues.
He's only showing the very worst parts of the city, Suncoast is the largest trailer park in the United States of America, of course there is poverty and crime, same in any ghetto. This guy might have stayed here awhile but the way he's talking he's never LIVED here
I spent nearly two decades of my life living in Ft Myers, FL. I've been to every single place you mentioned and have lived in four of them and I can honestly say that some of the realest people I've ever met in my life till this day came from these neighborhoods and I'm still friends with majority of them many years later as I live on the opposite side of the country now in the mountains. Great video, it brought back alot of memories. ✌🏼🌴
Wow, we were told by a Cape Coral dude that Punta Gorda had a crime problem, so we moved to Punta Gorda. Yup, all these retired white people and their gangs in golf carts. Sometimes there are even people making noise playing pickle ball. It's horrific.

Being born and raised in E Ft Myers off Nuna Ave., for 30 years of my life I can tell you everything in this video spot on. It used to not be like this though. It was a great place to grow up in but over the last twenty years it’s horrible here.
HI Cindy! My twin and I lived over on Tice Street. It was a great place to live, but yeah, not anymore. I really think that its how we were raised. If we even thought out of line, mom would bring the Wrath of God down on us.
Ma’am can’t agree, just the streets and hoods he named do not correlate with each other, and using film from other parts of fort myers for different neighborhoods, you can tell this man is only making a video and not from here
You missed some location sir. I was raised in the hood all of my life from left corner, E-state, Habitat, the old & new projects, michigan links, john walker, the bottom, harlem lake, harlem heights, sabal palm, the trap, and many more. Back in the day the place was identified as little pakistan and fort misery. It has gotten extremely better than the past. Lehigh Acres is becoming more crime infested now more than ever. Pine Minor and Naples Minor ( The Twin Minors) always have been full of criminality since the 1980s.
Thank you...From VA looking for a house and decided to go check out Fort Myers area and good thing i saw this Video..your commentary had me crackin up as well.
you dont know what bad police is buddy. go play games in Elmore county Alabama where i used to live .. these cops are regular folk.. you forget to call a cop in alabama SIR before you open your mouth.. i dont understand why you bother police thats pathetic. real crooks are in backwoods towns dont see you going there they make you disappear and than join the search team to help find you.
Royal palm ave was never considered Dunbar that was considered central ... born and raise there. My dad lives behind this flea market. My granddad lives on Nuna.
north fort myers in the woods i have gone in there but no camera on. scary crap. we were looking at a condo and in the woods there were homeless right there.. we passed
I live in Tice also known East Ft. Myers, you were so close to my house lol! and you described it %1000! Just sub'd to your channel, found it by accident but glad I did!
Very good infomation. You got my subscription with your line "There is not alot of home ownership but there is alot of gun ownership" about Crime Manor. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for this video. I am originally from Hernando county but have been away from FL since 2005. I got hired at a job in Lehigh Acres and will be moving down in a few months. This is helpful.
I lived on Wren back in the eary to mid 80's. It was a dirt road and I had no neighbors. Went by there last year and wow. Packed and not a place I would want to live now.
Ironically, the region just across the street from Pine Manor is a pretty nice area. The community of Villas and all its subdivisions are nice places to live. Children from nearby neighborhoods come here during Halloween since it's actually safe to walk around and trick or treat here.
Good job on your video sir lots of good information ,everyone on here have a nice life and try to be nice to our fellow human beings and animals ,God Bless all who see this comment.
It is really sad to see the condition of Fort Myers. I lived there for a few years in the early 90's and then 98-2000. I haven't been back since I left in 2000. I was told that the city had doubled in size. I'm sure it is even bigger now. When I lived there, I lived in a complex on Colonial. Lehigh Acres was a small working class community way inland with a lot of greenery between Fort Myers and Lehigh Acres. San Carlos was working class, quiet neighborhood.
Man please !!!! I moved down here from Detroit... Fort Myers doesn't know what a hood is, so stop making it sound like it's bad. And you forgot the most important part . What is making these places turn into shit....
I been to Detroit and its got great suburbs my wife is from there. After living 20 Years down here i dont know whats making it bad since its improved alot
2 through 10 weren’t bad. Not exactly ideal but very livable. Number 1 was on an entirely different level. Many of those trailers were a disgraceful. No American should be living like that.
San Carlos Park isn’t a bad neighborhood, I’ve lived here for 8yrs, the people are decent, the water is safe to drink, the Gulf Coast Mall is here, new developments are being built for the wealthy/well to do. There is student housing, but it’s pricey & the kids are focused on their education & not criminal activity It’s a far better neighborhood than the others listed.
The Park is filled with drugs though you must know that. From constitution to winged foot all the way to three oaks in the back. Lots of raids over the years. And people have been murdered all over the Park. Just saying. You may not hear about it because they try to keep Park trouble on the DL because it's not all bad as you said but it is what it is. I lived there on constitution for years and years and I saw with my own eyes. But you have to be a street person to really be in it and see it up close or you have to at least be family with the long timers who grew up in the Park. No offense. Just saying a neighborhood can look okay but three doors down can be the exact opposite. It's not the worst hood in Lee county but it's definitely nowhere near the best either. It's a middle class hood in some areas and a low income in the rest.
@@soulstorm8806 spent damn near 23 years there growing up and returning home after leaving and yeah SCP was and still is shit, just a few new homes and fresh paint lol. not to mention i worked for the morgue and yeah it was right up there with cape coral for how much homicides they dont tell the people
You must stay in the house and not watch the news. I had to survey the drainage in your neighborhood for about 4-6 months and after being in so many peoples backyards/having encounters with many of your “lovely neighbors” I know that’s false, and that’s not including all the newsworthy crime that happens in that community. My guess is you live on the golf course. There are some pockets that are nice, well maintained with nice people, but a majority of it is drug infested. If you don’t open your door and see that yet then you’re lucky but if I were you I’d be looking at selling my house and moving while the gettin’s good cause you’re about to be in the hood. It’s not the worst place to live in the county but it’s definitely not a good place and it’s getting worse
I've lived in San Carlos Park since 1992. It has DEFINITELY gone downhill. I want out so bad but, it's too expensive to move anywhere for the same or less than I pay to live here.
My ex boyfriend from many, many years ago lived off Calvin Blvd. SO hood! I have lived in SWFL for 44 years and completely agree with your assessments. Your commentary is hilarious!!! 😆
Palm Beach Blvd has some of the best Latin Food restaurant's !!! You nailed it on your list I remember when Daniel's Road was still dirt before i-75 even came to Southwest Florida
It’s a shame, Lehigh acres used to be a quiet little town. It started to go south after they tore down the Michigan Links Housing Projects and pushed many of those people out to Lehigh
its VERY SAFE. I live near there. the school RIVERDALE is bad tho.. look at the news.. all type of bad crap. the gas stations are bad at night, but.. its gated and safe INSIDE of portico. i wish i could live there. its okay, not far from bad areas like Palm Beach west of 75.. but i go there all the time. NEW PUBLIX, thats a plus. I live out here 1 year and NO ISSUES at all. if i could live INSIDE of portico.. thats good. its very diverse too, a rare find for gated communities. GO FOR IT. be careful with the high school tho.. its not the best
I've been on buses in Fort Myers for over 20 years and I feel your statements are accurate. Anyway you'll do a video of the 10 best neighborhoods? (Non gated community?)
I lived in north fort Myers for 4 years and moved to alva till this year and we left and now live in Missouri. Much colder weather but I grew up in Illinois so it's no big deal.
I grew up in all of these neighborhoods. Tice, Michigan links, palmona park, pine manor. Went to Dunbar when it was a middle school. Went to just about every school in lee county in the early mid 90's. Michigan elementary. Lee middle fort myers middle Alva orange river elementary we moved about evert 2 to 3 years. There is trouble everywhere. Just know who you're rolling with and keep out of everyone's business and mind your own and you typically don't have issues. Lived in Suncoast for years. Lived in the neighborhood behind ortiz free-market. Knew a lot of people from all over there. Been out about 10 years now still miss it at times
I went to few different ones too in the 90s. Lee Middle (no longer there), Dunbar Middle, Fort Myers Middle, Suncoast Middle, Riverdale High, North High
We're unfamiliar with the area and were wondering if we should be concerned with the area near the Jamaica Bay neighborhood off of Rt. 41 near Mercedes Benz of Ft. Myers?
Lmao the fact you started with SCP where I grew up fucked me up for a second there 😂. But yeah, alot of shit has gone down through there. Have many stories to share just from people I know and grew up with.
@@jayproudlove178 its lots of student rentals. Starbucks, traffic is unbearable going towards naples or fort myers its three lanes each way. You might like buckingham its probably like what san carlos was back than. Its jammed between naples and fort Myers two fast growing places. Definitely “urban” now. North Fort Myers is about the same kinda poor white and calmer. But san carlos its insane an empty lot is $100,000
you can find a house for under 200,000 in Fort Myers shores i would buy there right now in this market. its middle of the ground, and not insanely over priced. my sister a realtor here you can email me if you need her contact or some other local realtor.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I'll buy in pretty much every area in Lee and Collier County except for the ghetto areas.. Lehigh excluded as it growth is exploding. Sure, I'm always looking for realtor to bring me off market deals.
thats not the best. its not the worst. the CONDOS that are like 100k are cheap for a reason if thats what you mean. go for cypress lake area much better
@@danielwymer1580 the poorest areas in SWFL are white, like trailer parks. North Fort myers, homeless and addicts.. all white areas. if anything latinos are helping clean up those parts. YOU GOT ISSUES
I thought you did make it yourself. I liked it. Well produced, man. I would have liked to enjoy a full listening experience of the full composition of it, for enjoyment purposes only; and not for monetary gain or to profit from its musical qualities. Peace be to you
My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed the musical work which you put forth in this one, my friend. I thank you kindly for producing it and sharing it, and appreciate it, man. Excellent musical expressions held therein, yea.
Buckingham is getting pretty congested, crime from lehigh is coming in, and accidents are a daily occurrence.. I'm so sad for my little town.. I'm looking at moving north because of all of this..
I grew up off of Michigan Avenue between seaboard in the cemetery. I went to school in Dunbar. I’ve lived in East Fort Myers, in Lehigh off of gunnery, and in North Fort Myers.And I’ve spent plenty of time in all of the other areas. Poor neighborhoods are never the good neighborhoods. Poverty sucks.
I was born and raised in Ft. Myers and it wasn’t like this at all. When I go home to visit it breaks my heart. I lived in East Ft. Myers and always felt safe.
san carlos resident: they have a really good taco truck behind the gas station next to the circle k at the corner of sanibel and s. tamiami-- and theres also a good hotdog/ice cream place right across from that 🤞
This is shameful. Poor people barely managing to afford a home are not “bad” people, nor are their neighborhoods “bad”. And using the expression “hoods” just underscores what you’re really thinking. If you want to reframe this as an investment potential video, that might be a little less racist.
Los taquitos food truck on marsh & palm beach is the one 👌 Funny to see my neighborhood as #3 i would rank harlem lakes, the tat,michigan & brookhill higher but thats just me
I am from SW Florida so i have lived in a lot of these area's Palm Beach and NFM never had a problem but i also don't go around looking for a problem. Now I'm currently living in Cape Coral:)
As an Exterminator, I’ve been to a lot of these homes and neighborhoods. They ain’t that bad . I’m from Northern New Jersey . You want rough town , try Camden , try Newark , try Paterson . The giant water bugs / toe biters ain’t no joke though .
@zak @southern life Hello from Taxachusetts! We moved to ft misery (I thought I was the only one who said that)😆 back in '73 too, I absolutely HATED it. Myerlee... no other kids there, rules & more rules, fake grass, ugh. My brother and I (13/14) had to stay at Fountain Court for 6 mo's waiting for the condo to finish. I went back to Boston as fast as I could, only coming back for a very short stint at new college (Sarasota) which was marginally better. Too many rules -- go to the beach and read signs with 20 things you can't do (like have fun) I'll take Cape Cod anytime over the beaches there, lined with high rises, but my parents stayed around myerlee 40+ yrs till they both passed recently and called it their "Paradise"! I hated going to visit but wish they were still around so I could see them 😕 I also thought segregated areas like "Harlem heights" even sounded racist, it's too bad it's gotten worse since 1973! PS: Today is 81 -- 2 days ago 36 (at night) -- I still prefer it to the heatstroke weather down there! Be well 🙂 👋👋
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Have you been to West End, I heard it's the worst hood, also there's Airport Highlands and Airport Hills also Gate City which is the projects.
Yup San Carlos park was the place to be back in the late 90s, Homes were decently priced and it was in a good location to get to work hitting 41. Id say if you cant afford some place like "pelican preserve" "old hickory" or some other gated place, be careful. There are still nice neighborhoods, but looks are decieving in Florida lol.
depends on what section you live. some sections are quiet. my section is awesome but i can hear gunshots from the east section of me and music till 2 am as well. were lucky we got a quiet corner cuz i ride my ATV and some parts are scary as crap
Funny thing is I lived on sunshine in Lehigh with my dad when I was in elementary school and went to went to Edgewood academy. I then moved to Lely high school and was in Naples Manor all the time. Had a lot of friends that lived there and was in and out 24/7. I lived in the habitat for humanity neighborhood right behind the walmart at the collier Blvd/US 41 intersection. My dad started renting in Pine manor of Fort Myers when I was in highschool. Started off on 4th street now in 8th. I lived there a couple times with him lol I didn’t get set up or anything shady happen on those streets tho it happened in some other well known spots. I terms of Pine manor you need to watch out for the police who will try to search your car after accusing you of rolling through a stop sign. Lee Sheriff is something else man
Yeah when I first moved to ft.myers back in 96. I moved to San Carlos. It wasn't as bad then. Then I moved Harlem heights. That was ghetto. Then moved to crime manor. Very hood. Then moved to cape coral. Turning into hood. Good stuff
I feel like this video really showcases the class divide in Fort Myers. A large majority of the town is in awful shape. There are places like whiskey creek and mcgregor or just across the water Cape coral that just scream “unattainable” to people like me who work really hard but came after the massive price hikes.
Been to Ft. Myers many times had friends in Slumcoast and Cape Coral which is also doing its best to make your list in the future. Every Metropolitan Area in the US. unfortunately is just as bad. If you cant afford $400.000 you gonna be living in not so desirable areas, me personally id go down to the Naples Hood of Golden Gate with an acre or two and Fortify the place before moving in with my Dobermanns.
Im From Sun Coast like 50 years ago and it’s wasn’t like this back then! It could have been a great place however, back then the investors didn’t want to build it up..🤷🏼♀️ it’s sad to see the potential go down the drain…..I haven’t been back there in decades because how bad it’s has gotten.
Can't disagree at all. One thing that is notable is how over the years Dumbar has improved while Lehigh has declined. Could that be due to many that left Dunbar relocated to Lehigh? I moved to SWFL in '73 and the change throughout to whole region is amazing. Side note: If you ever rare to come into N Ft Myers again and hit up Hogbodys look me up. 🍻
I asure you we will go there!!! Sadly were still recovering from covid so we gotta wait. I have herd great things about this place expect me there as soon as were back to normal!

@@Tom-zs6bbyep. Areas like Dunbar are gentrifying, but those old renters didn’t just disappear. So they likely went to Lehigh Acres, with some going to North Fort Myers.
I live in North fort Myers it’s not that bad but #1 suncoast is in north fort Myers and it’s really bad forsure this video actually pointed out every hood in the area I’m 30 and have lived in Lee county my whole life
North Fort Myers was way worst i remember the first time we went up there for a field trip to the water park it was very hood and it was a bus full of rich kids from Naples 😂😂😂😂 best place to grab a quick bite?
I moved here from cape coral because we wanted to buy our first house like 5 years ago and everything was so expensive in cape so we decided to move to north fort Myers we looked at houses in Lehigh and tice that were in our price range but we found a nice house off bay shore and 41 with 1 acre and besides homeless people at every store it’s ok lol we like to eat at hooks in fort Myers but we love cowboy crab the place you pulled into in the video lol
My grandparents live of of Tice street. Me and my dad stay there when he’s in town. Tbh it’s not as bad as it was when my dad was a kid(60s- mid 80s) unless your afraid of loud music and people walking around

It’s not the worst place to live in the county but it’s definitely not a good place and it’s getting worse
That apartment complex at minute 5 is a hell of party at night going on there
I've lived in San Carlos Park since 1992. It has DEFINITELY gone downhill. I want out so bad but, it's too expensive to move anywhere for the same or less than I pay to live here.
You wont find crap dont.
My ex boyfriend from many, many years ago lived off Calvin Blvd. SO hood! I have lived in SWFL for 44 years and completely agree with your assessments. Your commentary is hilarious!!! 😆
Palm Beach Blvd has some of the best Latin Food restaurant's !!! You nailed it on your list I remember when Daniel's Road was still dirt before i-75 even came to Southwest Florida
Thats awesome
Mucho Taco off Palm Beach Blvd is the best
East fort myers has changed so much in the past 20 years and it’s much better now and there’s prime Realestate in East Fortmyers too.
when i remake this list, its changing for sure.
It’s a shame, Lehigh acres used to be a quiet little town. It started to go south after they tore down the Michigan Links Housing Projects and pushed many of those people out to Lehigh
Good video. Now, how about doing the 10 best hoods for regular people....safety, etc.
Is the area where the New Lennar Neighborhood Portico a good safe area? Know a friend that is looking there.
its VERY SAFE. I live near there. the school RIVERDALE is bad tho.. look at the news.. all type of bad crap. the gas stations are bad at night, but.. its gated and safe INSIDE of portico. i wish i could live there. its okay, not far from bad areas like Palm Beach west of 75.. but i go there all the time. NEW PUBLIX, thats a plus. I live out here 1 year and NO ISSUES at all. if i could live INSIDE of portico.. thats good. its very diverse too, a rare find for gated communities. GO FOR IT. be careful with the high school tho.. its not the best
I've been on buses in Fort Myers for over 20 years and I feel your statements are accurate.
Anyway you'll do a video of the 10 best neighborhoods? (Non gated community?)
That sounds like a good idea
I lived in north fort Myers for 4 years and moved to alva till this year and we left and now live in Missouri. Much colder weather but I grew up in Illinois so it's no big deal.
How you like alva? I near there now.
I grew up in all of these neighborhoods. Tice, Michigan links, palmona park, pine manor. Went to Dunbar when it was a middle school. Went to just about every school in lee county in the early mid 90's. Michigan elementary. Lee middle fort myers middle Alva orange river elementary we moved about evert 2 to 3 years. There is trouble everywhere. Just know who you're rolling with and keep out of everyone's business and mind your own and you typically don't have issues. Lived in Suncoast for years. Lived in the neighborhood behind ortiz free-market. Knew a lot of people from all over there. Been out about 10 years now still miss it at times
I went to few different ones too in the 90s. Lee Middle (no longer there), Dunbar Middle, Fort Myers Middle, Suncoast Middle, Riverdale High, North High
We're unfamiliar with the area and were wondering if we should be concerned with the area near the Jamaica Bay neighborhood off of Rt. 41 near Mercedes Benz of Ft. Myers?
No its safe. Around pine manor its the bad part of us41
Mostly good. Trailer parks near river flood
Lmao the fact you started with SCP where I grew up fucked me up for a second there 😂. But yeah, alot of shit has gone down through there. Have many stories to share just from people I know and grew up with.
its bad now, changed for the worst. does have good sections tho
whats san carlos like now? thinkin of comin back sick of georgia and had 3o. Yrs of bs in tennessee
@@jayproudlove178 its lots of student rentals. Starbucks, traffic is unbearable going towards naples or fort myers its three lanes each way. You might like buckingham its probably like what san carlos was back than. Its jammed between naples and fort Myers two fast growing places. Definitely “urban” now. North Fort Myers is about the same kinda poor white and calmer. But san carlos its insane an empty lot is $100,000
@@jayproudlove178 fancy and lots of shopping
@@jayproudlove178 check out Sebastian or port st joe before buying in san carlos. Thats kinda what san carlos was like back than.
I'm an Investor and Flipper in the Area and I 100% agree with this video
you can find a house for under 200,000 in Fort Myers shores i would buy there right now in this market. its middle of the ground, and not insanely over priced. my sister a realtor here you can email me if you need her contact or some other local realtor.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I'll buy in pretty much every area in Lee and Collier County except for the ghetto areas.. Lehigh excluded as it growth is exploding.
Sure, I'm always looking for realtor to bring me off market deals.
From FM and this is not only SPOT ON but 😂also 💯
How is the area around Edison mall? Are any of these neighborhoods close ?
thats not the best. its not the worst. the CONDOS that are like 100k are cheap for a reason if thats what you mean. go for cypress lake area much better
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS thanks for your quick response. New subscriber. I’ll check on cypress lake.
@@robhapp6802 my sister is a realtor here too (239)248-4793 Susana Rodriguez she can help you find someone good.
@@danielwymer1580 the poorest areas in SWFL are white, like trailer parks. North Fort myers, homeless and addicts.. all white areas. if anything latinos are helping clean up those parts. YOU GOT ISSUES
I love your humor.
Hell yes. SUNCOAST finally got a number one spot somewhere...as a 30 year resident of the COAST ...I'm honored to say "I LIVE THERE"..lol
What is the music you feature in this video called; can I get a link if available? I thank you kindly
The music we use is made by us for us and is not to be used for any other purpose.
I thought you did make it yourself.
I liked it. Well produced, man.
I would have liked to enjoy a full listening experience of the full composition of it, for enjoyment purposes only; and not for monetary gain or to profit from its musical qualities.
Peace be to you
@@livelystone i make them on fl studios just for my videos. Its alot of work
My wife and I both thoroughly enjoyed the musical work which you put forth in this one, my friend.
I thank you kindly for producing it and sharing it, and appreciate it, man.
Excellent musical expressions held therein, yea.
From and currently living in Fort Myers. SPOT ON! Maybe Crime Manor could be higher on the list but other than that this is 100% accurate.
I was a little surprised Crime Manor wasn't higher too 🤣
We lived on the orange river 20 years ago,has that area gone downhill?
Right by the exit its bad as crap. But towards Buckingham better.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS thank you
Buckingham is getting pretty congested, crime from lehigh is coming in, and accidents are a daily occurrence.. I'm so sad for my little town.. I'm looking at moving north because of all of this..
@ 11:35 the white van never stops and it looked as if he was going to get pulled over. It also looked like the sheriff was going to run the stop sign.
it was my turn to go not the cops!
That’s FMPD for ya
I grew up off of Michigan Avenue between seaboard in the cemetery. I went to school in Dunbar. I’ve lived in East Fort Myers, in Lehigh off of gunnery, and in North Fort Myers.And I’ve spent plenty of time in all of the other areas. Poor neighborhoods are never the good neighborhoods. Poverty sucks.
I went to school near there called success academy off of Michigan I think it was
I was born and raised in Ft. Myers and it wasn’t like this at all. When I go home to visit it breaks my heart. I lived in East Ft. Myers and always felt safe.
Wild now
It was straight before the Spanish people took over.
I lived in East Ft Myers all my life. When I go home it makes me very sad to see what has happened to my old neighborhood. I always felt very safe.
san carlos resident: they have a really good taco truck behind the gas station next to the circle k at the corner of sanibel and s. tamiami-- and theres also a good hotdog/ice cream place right across from that 🤞
This is shameful. Poor people barely managing to afford a home are not “bad” people, nor are their neighborhoods “bad”. And using the expression “hoods” just underscores what you’re really thinking. If you want to reframe this as an investment potential video, that might be a little less racist.
I go to school back next to that redbone at success academy and it’s even worse than you think I’m puttin tice at 4 rather than 6 or wtv it was
i had to come here after my friend told me he had to do work on a 6 million dollar house thats on the market near the lee memorial hospital.
Los taquitos food truck on marsh & palm beach is the one 👌
Funny to see my neighborhood as #3 i would rank harlem lakes, the tat,michigan & brookhill higher but thats just me
The hurricane flooded to I-75 😳 good luck Ft Myers 😢🙏
Great video… tell ya wife it’s Mr. Pugh from Dunbar High
Alright! 😅
Reminds me of Fort Pierce man I never felt safe in Fort Pierce ever
I remember on the news the land for the Ortiz flea market was sold, so that market is no longer there 😔
Lies
The market is still their where you getting your imformation
How's Metro Park?
I am from SW Florida so i have lived in a lot of these area's Palm Beach and NFM never had a problem but i also don't go around looking for a problem.
Now I'm currently living in Cape Coral:)
😂😂😂💯💯💯 so glad SCP made the list!
your thuggin now LOL
Commentary is HILARIOUS 🤣😂 "It looks like West Virginia and Alabama had an inbred baby and left it here to it's own devices" 😂🤣💀
we try
I used to work at the Edison Mall; not a nice area either!
Facts
As an Exterminator, I’ve been to a lot of these homes and neighborhoods. They ain’t that bad . I’m from Northern New Jersey . You want rough town , try Camden , try Newark , try Paterson . The giant water bugs / toe biters ain’t no joke though .
I was born in Fort Myers and I was wondering why you are not showing the big picture.
What about the Riverside of McGregor boulevard like the Seminole Park historic district how's that...???
Better but not cheaper
Traffic main issue

@zak @southern life Hello from Taxachusetts! We moved to ft misery (I thought I was the only one who said that)😆 back in '73 too, I absolutely HATED it. Myerlee... no other kids there, rules & more rules, fake grass, ugh. My brother and I (13/14) had to stay at Fountain Court for 6 mo's waiting for the condo to finish. I went back to Boston as fast as I could, only coming back for a very short stint at new college (Sarasota) which was marginally better. Too many rules -- go to the beach and read signs with 20 things you can't do (like have fun) I'll take Cape Cod anytime over the beaches there, lined with high rises, but my parents stayed around myerlee 40+ yrs till they both passed recently and called it their "Paradise"! I hated going to visit but wish they were still around so I could see them 😕 I also thought segregated areas like "Harlem heights" even sounded racist, it's too bad it's gotten worse since 1973! PS: Today is 81 -- 2 days ago 36 (at night) -- I still prefer it to the heatstroke weather down there! Be well 🙂 👋👋
Can you do a video of top 10 Birmingham's worst Neighborhoods, I can give you a tour of them, if you want to come Alabama again.
Too far. I kinda saw most of bham we did videos there alot
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I know, I saw, but I never see you do a top 10 neighborhoods for Birmingham
@@hunterivey which hoods would you suggest? Send a few recommendations and i could make
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Have you been to West End, I heard it's the worst hood, also there's Airport Highlands and Airport Hills also Gate City which is the projects.
Yup San Carlos park was the place to be back in the late 90s, Homes were decently priced and it was in a good location to get to work hitting 41. Id say if you cant afford some place like "pelican preserve" "old hickory" or some other gated place, be careful. There are still nice neighborhoods, but looks are decieving in Florida lol.
I live in Lehigh Acres 😂😂😂 it's getting real bad around here.
depends on what section you live. some sections are quiet. my section is awesome but i can hear gunshots from the east section of me and music till 2 am as well. were lucky we got a quiet corner cuz i ride my ATV and some parts are scary as crap
Funny thing is I lived on sunshine in Lehigh with my dad when I was in elementary school and went to went to Edgewood academy. I then moved to Lely high school and was in Naples Manor all the time. Had a lot of friends that lived there and was in and out 24/7. I lived in the habitat for humanity neighborhood right behind the walmart at the collier Blvd/US 41 intersection. My dad started renting in Pine manor of Fort Myers when I was in highschool. Started off on 4th street now in 8th. I lived there a couple times with him lol I didn’t get set up or anything shady happen on those streets tho it happened in some other well known spots. I terms of Pine manor you need to watch out for the police who will try to search your car after accusing you of rolling through a stop sign. Lee Sheriff is something else man
Yeah I grew up off sunshine and 23 it's getting bad out there
Dam I literally live in Pina Manor still and we've lived here for like 7-8 years now 😂
Invite me to the party amigo!
Yeah when I first moved to ft.myers back in 96. I moved to San Carlos. It wasn't as bad then. Then I moved Harlem heights. That was ghetto. Then moved to crime manor. Very hood. Then moved to cape coral. Turning into hood. Good stuff
Harlem not that bad these days
I feel like this video really showcases the class divide in Fort Myers. A large majority of the town is in awful shape. There are places like whiskey creek and mcgregor or just across the water Cape coral that just scream “unattainable” to people like me who work really hard but came after the massive price hikes.
I live in tice and may I just say, I was not surprised to see it on this list
i still like TICE. good people but poor area. you will see me around for sure. we go on palm beach for latin food ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Been to Ft. Myers many times had friends in Slumcoast and Cape Coral which is also doing its best to make your list in the future. Every Metropolitan Area in the US. unfortunately is just as bad. If you cant afford $400.000 you gonna be living in not so desirable areas, me personally id go down to the Naples Hood of Golden Gate with an acre or two and Fortify the place before moving in with my Dobermanns.
I recommend having your 2A if you buy a home in these areas.
Lehigh Acres is the ugliest most desperate looking place I've ever seen.
And imagine a 1 hour or more commute to work 6 days a week
Thank goodness your not there. Hmm.
@@toniesedrick691 no shit
It’s miami
Im From Sun Coast like 50 years ago and it’s wasn’t like this back then! It could have been a great place however, back then the investors didn’t want to build it up..🤷🏼♀️ it’s sad to see the potential go down the drain…..I haven’t been back there in decades because how bad it’s has gotten.
Fort Myers born and raised. Pretty spot on but I'd be much more afraid to walk down the street at night on palm beach than Suncoast.
Someone stole a golf club from
Me in fort myers but we caught them. 😆 - clearly they were gonna use it as a club and not a golf anymore 🤣
Can't disagree at all. One thing that is notable is how over the years Dumbar has improved while Lehigh has declined. Could that be due to many that left Dunbar relocated to Lehigh? I moved to SWFL in '73 and the change throughout to whole region is amazing. Side note: If you ever rare to come into N Ft Myers again and hit up Hogbodys look me up. 🍻
I asure you we will go there!!! Sadly were still recovering from covid so we gotta wait. I have herd great things about this place expect me there as soon as were back to normal!

Section 8 housing was relocated from Ft. Myers to Lehigh.
@@Tom-zs6bbyep. Areas like Dunbar are gentrifying, but those old renters didn’t just disappear. So they likely went to Lehigh Acres, with some going to North Fort Myers.
@@hornetguy9063 Did my last year at the S/O in Lehigh. I felt like I was back home.
I grew up in Fort Myers but have been gone for many years. I don't even recognize most of these places except for Dunbar. Sad.
I live in North fort Myers it’s not that bad but #1 suncoast is in north fort Myers and it’s really bad forsure this video actually pointed out every hood in the area I’m 30 and have lived in Lee county my whole life
North Fort Myers was way worst i remember the first time we went up there for a field trip to the water park it was very hood and it was a bus full of rich kids from Naples 😂😂😂😂 best place to grab a quick bite?
I moved here from cape coral because we wanted to buy our first house like 5 years ago and everything was so expensive in cape so we decided to move to north fort Myers we looked at houses in Lehigh and tice that were in our price range but we found a nice house off bay shore and 41 with 1 acre and besides homeless people at every store it’s ok lol we like to eat at hooks in fort Myers but we love cowboy crab the place you pulled into in the video lol

My grandparents live of of Tice street. Me and my dad stay there when he’s in town. Tbh it’s not as bad as it was when my dad was a kid(60s- mid 80s) unless your afraid of loud music and people walking around
Wow I worked there in the fields 55 years ago and looks like another planet
Spent alot of time in some of those areas. Hung out alot in Suncoast as a teen.
