Richmond sits on the quiet, eastern side of Lehigh Acres, where wide skies, canal views, and a steady rhythm of new-home growth set the tone for everyday living. Residents appreciate quick access to the SR 82 corridor, turning errands and commutes into easy drives to Fort Myers and flights out of Southwest Florida International Airport. The neighborhood’s grid of residential streets makes morning jogs and evening strolls feel effortless, while nearby commercial pockets cover essentials without the hassle.
Outdoorsy locals gravitate to the wildlife-rich trails at Harns Marsh Preserve, a favorite for birding, photography, and peaceful sunsets. Weekend recreation also spans local ball fields and playgrounds managed by Lee County, with seasonal programs that make it easy for families to plug into the community. Dining is a mix of low-key eateries and Latin-Caribbean spots, with more options a short hop west.
Schools are a strong anchor here. Lehigh Senior High School offers acclaimed academic and arts programs, and younger readers find a second home at the bright, activity-packed East County Regional Library. With attainable housing, everyday conveniences, and nature preserves close at hand, Richmond balances value and breathing room—ideal for first-time buyers, growing households, and anyone seeking a laid-back base within greater Lee County.
