Living in Alva

Alva is one of Southwest Florida's most storied communities — the first settlement in Lee County, established in the 1800s along the northern bank of the Caloosahatchee River. Named by Danish sea captain Peter Nelson for the white flowers growing along the riverbanks, Alva has maintained its intimate rural character even as the surrounding region has grown dramatically.

Today, Alva attracts buyers seeking large-lot homes, riverfront estates, equestrian properties, and master-planned communities like River Hall — all within 20 minutes of Fort Myers and Southwest Florida International Airport. The community offers a rare blend of Old Florida character and modern convenience.
