Frequently asked questions
- What is McGregor Boulevard known for?
- McGregor Boulevard is Fort Myers' signature historic street, famous for the rows of royal palms first associated with Thomas Edison and for the grand riverfront estates and the Edison & Ford Winter Estates along its route.
- Are homes along McGregor Boulevard historic?
- Many are. The McGregor corridor includes historic homes and grand riverfront estates alongside newer construction. Some properties near the river sit in higher-risk flood zones, so I check the flood zone, elevation and any historic-district rules for a specific home.
- How close is McGregor to the beaches?
- McGregor Boulevard runs southwest from downtown toward the Sanibel Causeway and Fort Myers Beach, so the beaches are an easy drive while you live in one of the city's most established neighborhoods.
