Area Information
Children’s stories are rife with magical entryways hidden in plain sight (Platform 9 ¾, anyone?), but we’ve stumbled upon a real one, too, a road off of U.S. 41 in south Fort Myers.This community is the hidden gem.
At its junction are a tire and auto shop, a veterinary clinic and a water systems place—a perfect commercial masquerade. Hendry Creek Drive is squeezed in between the buildings, a two-lane road marked with an unobtrusive blue street sign. Cars speed past, drivers unseeing. But if you’re lucky enough to find it, you’ll turn west and head straight ahead, noticing first the yellow road sign with tractor insignia and then the parcels of still-undeveloped land and then the entrance into Hendry Creek, and Philips Creek neighborhood of 83 homes. Nobody knows it exists
“
The neighborhood was developed in the ’80s before environmental rules might have regulated the construction along the waterfront The houses look as if they sprouted organically along the creeks; the yards are big with lots of foliage, both hand-planted and naturally occurring trees.
The headwaters for Hendry Creek originate at Lakes Regional Park, a mile north. The creek is deep enough for small boats; if you follow it far enough, you’ll eventually wind up at the Gulf.
The creeks hasn’t been dredged in a long time In addition to the creek are two deep lakes where morning mist lends an air of mystery and where afternoon breezes offer relief from Southwest Florida’s heat. Lots of shade from mature trees.
Along the water means living with various critters, furred, feathered and finned: osprey, hawks, bald eagles, pileated woodpeckers, herons (great blue, tricolor, white and green), armadillos, gators. Even bull sharks have been spotted. The otters are among the neighborhood favorites, and so are the ibises, which regard the creek as a commuter route. Every night, just before sunset, they fly home to Lakes Park, turning the sky white.
It doesn’t feel like a typical Florida neighborhood. If you need trees and greenery This is for you
It’s got that feel, of Old Florida
