Lehigh Acres is the largest unincorporated community in Lee County, Florida — roughly 96 square miles of inland subdivision platted in the mid-1950s by Lee Ratner and Gerald Gould through Lee County Land and Title Company, with approximately 152,000 quarter-acre lots laid out across what was once the Lucky Lee Ranch. Today, Lehigh is Lee County's most affordable entry point into homeownership and a leading market for new infill construction, with a median sale price well below the Lee County median and an active builder roster including D.R. Horton, Lennar, Adams Homes, and Maronda. The community is governed by Lee County Board of County Commissioners (Lehigh sits in District 5 with Commissioner Trish Petrosky as of December 2025), with two Lehigh-specific special districts handling drainage and emergency services — the Lehigh Acres Municipal Services Improvement District (LA-MSID, created June 2015) and the Lehigh Acres Fire Control & Rescue District, which at 142 square miles is the largest fire district in Lee County with an ISO PPC 3 rating. Water and sewer service is split across FGUA, Lee County Utilities, and private well-and-septic on the outer two-thirds of parcels. Inside the platted grid are several master-planned and gated communities — Westminster Golf & Country Club, Ibis Landing Golf & Country Club, Copperhead Golf & Country Club, Savanna Lakes, Olympia Pointe, Asher Park, and others — alongside an extensive single-family rental and build-to-rent footprint. McGreevy and Comisar's team have built a real estate practice across all four Lehigh buyer profiles: affordability-driven first-time buyers, vacant-lot speculators and tax-deed investors, single-family-rental and B2R operators, and owner-occupied families looking for value in Southwest Florida.
