Iona, FL 132 Apartments for Rent

Iona, where aliens come to watch the Superbowl! An alleged UFO sighting occurred here on Superbowl Sunday in 2012, as five unidentified crafts flew into the air shortly after the Giants won. Seems like they were Patriots fans.

Iona is an unassuming coastal area in South-West Florida, great for beach access and for those who like the quieter life. The area lies next to the city of Fort Myers, with Cape Coral and Sanibel Island in close proximity. There are approximately 15,000 people in Iona, with over 60,000 in Fort Myers. The climate, as one would expect in Florida, is generally hot and quite humid, with summer temperatures averaging 83 degrees.

Living in Iona

Most of the homes for rent in the area lie within the designation of Fort Myers, where the price can vary considerably depending on whether it's a condo or apartment, number of bedrooms, and whether it has a pool. Other nearby areas with apartments to rent include Cape Coral and Winkler.

If you're thinking about moving to Iona, there are a few things to consider first. You won't grow old on the road! Most people who live here have a relatively short commute to work; most jobs in the area are in Fort Myers, which make the daily grind that little bit easier. Similarly, schools and colleges are located in the city and around the region, so travel should never be too much of a headache. Pricing is an issue for most people (and if it isn't, they probably don't live in Iona!), but there's something here to suit almost every budget. It's also a good idea to find apartments online first and make some viewing appointments for the most suitable.

Neighborhoods

Fort Myers is where most of the home rentals can be found. This old fort city is large enough to have all the amenities one would expect from a city and small enough to get around quickly and easily. $$-$$$$

Cape Coral is a bigger city on the other side of the bay from Iona and Fort Myers. The city has more canals than any other city in the world, most of which remain in constant use. Cape Coral is the largest city between Miami and Tampa and house prices reflect its importance. $$$-$$$$$

Winkler is a designated Safe Neighborhood and has a variety of apartments in shared complexes. $

Getting around

Well, you'll need an automobile, but then what American doesn't have a car? There is some public transport, but most people drive to work and school. With everything you need within a 10 mile radius, including two cities, you won't spend much on gas or take too long to get anywhere, so you'll have more time and money to spend at the beautiful beaches in and around Iona.
