Lee County Reviews
Rating 4 out of 5 17 reviews
Great place to live but expensive in regards to homes and live expenses. There is very little to do on any given day. The driving is great as there are very little drivers for a big part of the year. Very seasonal. Little work, mostly for retirement
Lee county is a nice place to be in. many restaurants, parks, businesses. Very family friendly. I lived here almost all my life and i never felt like i was in a terrible place. I made many friends, done lots of things. There is so many schools here. It really does feel like home. However, I would want to see more entertainment. Something to get kids and teens out f the house and make new and more friends. I often drive to different cities to do cools things. Don't get me wrong, there are attractions in Lee County, In would just like to see more. I want to see my generation spending most of their time lout of the house rather than inside. Besides that. Lee county is my home.
I have been here for 22 years and have seen the area grow tremendously. Unfortunately the growth for housing is booming, but the roadways are not. Public transportation seems to be geared towards low income people. I am not seeing how the government is addressing this issue, when overpasses or more direct traffic flow patterns take forever in the planning stages and the growth of fixing or updating the roads are 10 years or more behind . When I am sitting in traffic, I look at the vehicles passing by and I would estimate 95% are single-passenger vehicles (myself included). There needs to be more encouragement of public transportation and/or better commuting ideas to help alleviate the traffic problems.
