8805 Lateen Ln. #203

Rarely available in Paddle Creek, a residential community in the Cypress Lake area of South Fort Myers, this one bedroom, one bath townhome-style condo lives considerably larger than its bedroom count suggests. A spiral staircase leads up to an open loft, flexible space that works as a home office, den, studio, or guest area, and gives the unit a second level of usable square footage most one-bedrooms simply don't have.

The interior has been recently repainted throughout and has no carpet anywhere, so it shows clean and stays easy to maintain. A screened lanai extends the living space outdoors for shaded, bug-free mornings and evenings. One covered, assigned parking space comes with the unit, right out front.

Water and sewer are included with your rent. Cats are welcome. Please note the unit is a second-floor townhome with interior stairs, plus the spiral staircase to the loft.

The location is one of the strongest in South Fort Myers. Lakes Park, with its walking trails, botanical garden, and weekly farmers market, is minutes away. Shopping and dining are within a short walk, and the Bell Tower Shops and Gulf Coast Town Center are a quick drive. Park Royal Hospital is under two miles, Southwest Florida International Airport about twenty minutes, and the beaches at Sanibel and Fort Myers Beach are an easy drive down Summerlin.

The community is served by the School District of Lee County, with Tanglewood Elementary and Villas Elementary, Cypress Lake Middle School, and Cypress Lake High School and South Fort Myers High School in the proximity zone. Cypress Lake High operates a well-regarded Center for the Arts program with audition-based admission. Florida SouthWestern State College is just over three miles away, with Florida Gulf Coast University about twenty-five minutes. Lee County uses a school choice assignment system, so applicants should verify current availability directly with the district.

A qualified guarantor may be accepted with approval, which can make this a workable option for first-time renters, and anyone still building rental history.

In an effort to STOP internet fraud, we highly recommend that you DO NOT send funds to someone who cannot allow you to enter the home for a showing. If you live out of the state and cannot verify a rental, we urge you to perform a Google search on the address. This should reveal the true rental listing agent. You may want to drive by the property to see if there is a sign indicating the true rental listing agent, although many association communities do not allow signage.
