The Orange River Elementary zone sits on the western side of Lehigh Acres, closer to the Fort Myers line and the river corridor that gives the school its name. It's a spread-out, still-growing pocket of Southwest Florida where new rooftops keep going up next to established streets, and where you can find room for a pool without living on top of your neighbors. Buyers comparing it to nearby zones like the Gateway Elementary School and Harns Marsh Elementary School areas will notice this one leans heavily toward brand-new construction.
Right now there are 269 active listings across the zone, with a median list price of $359,000 and options running from $140,000 up past $2 million. New construction dominates the market with 123 of those homes, so much of what you'll tour is move-in ready. Homes are selling at a steady clip — 327 closed in the past year — so it pays to browse Lehigh Acres homes for sale and check the live map before you tour.
Orange River Elementary School is an attendance zone in Lehigh Acres, Florida.
