She can't say this so I will. There are some pretty sketchy areas in and around Ft Myers that you want to stay away from. If purchasing a home in ft myers, you have to be very careful about what is close by. Not so much in Naples to the south or Punta Gorda to the north.
The oceanfront houses are so beautiful but so expensive! Its ridiculous. Not meant for us normal working people..... Even houses further inwards of Naples and comparable places still cost towards the million....
Sort of like the difference between West Palm and just plain Palm Beach right? Naples is more for rich people right and Fort Myers is more affordable? Tallahassee has that on its own. The North side is for the rich people and the south and west side is for regulars. It took me 53 years to make it to the north but I was able to retire at that age too, so cool!
@@livingsouthwestflorida9317 Is Fort Myers Florida a overall good place to live in???. Like how is the crime in the city and is it a good place to raise a family. And what is the average home price to buy a Home in Fort myers Currently in 2022.
A little confused as a non native looking to relocate. The video was comparing Naples and fort Meyers but you kept referencing collier and Leigh. I Don’t know which is in which county. Would have been a little easier to follow if you stuck with saying Naples vs fort meyers throughout the video. Thanks for the video.
Hi Macy! Sorry for any confusion. Lee county would be Fort Myers (includes Cape Coral, Estero, Bonita Springs, Lehigh Acres). Collier would be Naples (includes Marco Island, Goodland, Immokalee). Thank you for the feedback, and let me know if any other questions.
Naples is in Collier County, and Fort Myers is in Lee County. I use to live in Fort Myers and Bonita Springs. I didn't like it. We were there 25 yrs. Moved back up north in 2006. Good decision.
Traffic is horrible, especially during tourists season and when snowbirds come down. We sold our home outside Naples in 2006 and came back to Midwest! Not sorry....
Hi Kayla. Wonderful video. Thank you for the great info. Very helpful. My wife and I will be looking for a house, on a canal near Ft Meyers. I will keep you in mind moving forward.
Hi Jamie, thank you for watching! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need any recommendations. Looking forward to speaking with you both.
Were are getting close to retiring and moving to florida we have been to Naples several times our biggest concern is Naples literally shuts down early we are a very active couple and enjoy our nights out is fort myersb the same
Fort myers definitely use to be sleepy, and has came quite a way from that. Only getting better. And Naples has changed quite a bit also. Love both areas for different reasons!
Which is better? Is this for real🤦♂️ No comparison that’s how alike these 2 happen to be. I’ll nutshell it without a clip, Ft. Meyers absolutely sucks. Now Naples🙂

Hi Kayla, this was a great video that touched on a lot of different points. I'm looking at the SW coast and this is helpful!

Great video. I don’t think I could ever live in Ft Myers especially after living in Naples for the last 30 years or so.
Hello, yes I hear that all the time or it’s the opposite. Both cities have a different feel to them!

Naples is better. If you can afford it. Use to live there.

Well as of today, September 29th 2022, I’d think even Gary, Indiana would be a better place to live.

Excellent descriptions and info. Thanks. Are either city affected by powerful storms like the East Coast of Florida is.
@Careful Consumer I think you have your answer
@@goldenparachute392 No joke!
@@carefulconsumer8682 Both were affected as you know 😢

Learn how to spell Ft. Myers!
Beautifully presented.
Good video, very informative.... thank you.
Very well done. Thanks for the info
Sent an email to Kayla - never got a response!

No. I use to live there. But I didn't like it.
I live in Fort Myers and work in Naples... this video is amazing for so many reasons. Great job Kayla!
Great info
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Great video, Kayla! I love both Fort Myers and Naples.
Just was there in c.c ftm lot of traffic.
You are WAY off on the temperatures. And rarely are there morning "showers".
And NO, it's not paradise.
The traffic is horrible.
Wages are low, living is expensive.
Naples is better but pricey. Ft. Myers used to be a sleepy little town, now it's...Ft Myers has Little Times Square ⬜ and Naples has Tin City.
Fort myers definitely use to be sleepy, and has came quite a way from that. Only getting better. And Naples has changed quite a bit also. Love both areas for different reasons!
Thanks for commenting! Have a great day!
Fort Myers is a small city. Naples is a resort.
Can you compare similar houses in both county's as far neighborhood and all other amenities. Not just average.
Hi Victor! Of course, I will add soon to the channel!
Are you kidding ??? There is no comparison!!! Naples doesn’t have a MLK Blvd. !!!!
Fort Myers is better the people in Naples are so stuck up and rude and the traffic seems better a bit in Fort Myers
Naples and it's not even close.
Naples is far better. Too much crime in Fort Meyers.
Which is better? Is this for real🤦♂️ No comparison that’s how alike these 2 happen to be. I’ll nutshell it without a clip, Ft. Meyers absolutely sucks. Now Naples🙂
Cut your intro down
Thank you Frank for the feedback. Appreciate it. We have actually shortened it since this video was posted. 😃
