Shoppers in Southwest Florida are excited with the news that a Nordstrom Rack is coming to Bell Tower in Fort Myers.

Bell Tower Shops in Fort Myers has been getting all sorts of new shops and restaurants lately and I am thrilled at the news of the addition of a Nordstrom Rack! I’ve always been a fan of Nordstrom, making that a regular stop at Woodfield Mall when I lived in the Chicago suburbs. There is a location at Mercato in Naples. But for those of us living further north, having one to shop at in Fort Myers is SO exciting. In a press release, the company announced that it will be opening this fall. This location will also offer customers online order pick up from both Nordstrom.com and NordstromRack.com. Returns can also be done easily at this store.

If you’re unfamiliar with Nordstrom Rack, the store offers customers up to 70% off apparel, accessories, beauty, home and shoes from many of the top brands sold at Nordstrom stores and online. I have found the best sunglasses there, sometimes for hundreds of dollars off. Great shoe selection too! I can’t wait to do some shopping.

The addition of Nordstrom Rack at Bell Tower joins a great variety of stores and restaurants. The Fresh Market, Talbots, Congress Jewelers, Ulta Beauty, Bath & Body Works, Fleet Feet and Claire’s just to name a few. Restaurants at Bell Tower include DaRuMa, Grimaldi’s Pizzeria, Burntwood Tavern, McGregor’s Public House, La Ola Surfside and more. There’s also a Dave & Buster’s and Regal Cinemas.

The Most Affordable Cities In Florida to Buy a House

  • 139: Miami Beach, FL

    No joke, I had to scroll all the way down to number 139 on the list to find a city in Florida listed. And then the surprise of – Miami Beach? According to their findings, Miami Beach has a 95% affordability with a monthly homeowner cost of $3,634. But this is Miami Beach, right? Well, you can buy a house there, but perhaps it’s a bit shy of the “dream home” you may have planned on. Here’s a cozy 640 square foot, well, it’s essentially a walk in closet with a bathroom, that you can get for $300,000.

  • 152: Ocala, FL

    Ocala has an affordability of just under 95% with a monthly homeowner cost of $3,691. Ocala is in between Orlando and Gainesville and nope, no beaches. But, you can get a pretty decent spot for around $300K. If you stay away from the golf course developments, you can even avoid HOA fees.

  • 156: Daytona Beach, FL

    I always thought of this more as a party spot, but I guess you can live there, too. With a monthly homeowner cost of $3,700 it looks to be an ok place to be. You can even get some yard and be set back from the road for just over $300K.

  • 161: Deltona, FL

    Deltona has a monthly homeowner cost of $3,734. There’s also some great fishing in the area. I found this listing for under $300K and it even has a pool!

  • 176: Jacksonville, FL

    I actually know someone who moved from Southwest Florida to go to Jacksonville to save money. With just over 94% relative affordability and a monthly homeowner cost of $3,811, he was quite happy with his move. J-Ville is a much bigger city, so you’ll need to be extra cautious of the neighborhood you buy in to, but there’s some affordability here. I found this one for less than $300K and $13 a month HOA.

  • Southwest Florida

    So where does Southwest Florida end up on this list? Not good. But we already knew that. Cape Coral comes in at number 452 on the list. There are 451 other cities in America that are cheaper to live. The relative affordability is 90% and the monthly homeowner cost is $5,253. Let’s scroll down to number 460 on the list. Fort Myers. A similar relative affordability with a monthly homeowner cost of $5,298. 

    Let’s go up the coast a bit. Bradenton is at number 560. Their monthly homeowner cost is $6,015. Sarasota is number 606. It’s $6,401 a month to live there. 

    Bonita Springs. Number 686 on the list. A relative affordability of 83% and a monthly homeowner cost of $7,760. You know some of those expensive little towns in California? Bonita Springs is right there with them. 

    Where’s Naples? The population cutoff on this list was 50,000 people, so Naples wasn’t surveyed. But I’m sure it would not have been good.

  • But can I buy a house in Naples for less than $300K?

    Sure you can. If you’re not too picky. This might be a good place to do one of those home restoration shows.
