North Fort Myers is the unincorporated stretch across the Caloosahatchee from downtown, strung along US 41 and Bayshore Road. Its housing is older than most of the county: 1960s and 1970s concrete block ranches near the river, manufactured-home communities off Pine Island Road and Littleton Road, and larger lots with ranch homes out toward Bayshore. Shingle is the common roof, with metal on many of the rural homes and on manufactured units.
Hurricane Charley in August 2004 came up the river and hit North Fort Myers harder than most of the county, and a wave of roofs was replaced in 2005. Those roofs are now twenty years old. Ian in 2022 pushed surge up the river into the neighborhoods closest to the water and took shingle across the rest. Insurers ask about roof age here more than almost anywhere in Lee County.
Fort Myers Roofers connects North Fort Myers homeowners with an independent local roofing contractor.
A 2005 shingle roof with a renewal letter is a roof inspection first. Florida law lets an inspection showing five years of useful life keep a policy in place, and some post-Charley roofs still qualify. A roof that does not is a roof replacement permitted through the county. Metal on a manufactured or rural home is its own repair skill, and the roofing materials page covers the choice.
North Fort Myers has no city hall; permits go through Lee County. The community's public center is the county's North Fort Myers Park and Recreation Center on North Recreation Park Way, which has served as a point of distribution after storms.
