SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

Haley Gatins has been sharing a

house with roommates and her dog, but
she really wanted a place of her own,
and a place where she could spend quality time with her hound-mix Natalie.
She finally found that place when
she signed up to be one of the first to
move into Spectra in South Fort Myers.
I am most excited about it for my
dog because it has a dog park in the
neighborhood, Gatins said.
Gatins said it is hard to find apartments in the area because there are not
many of them, and there are even fewer that are new. She said shes excited
about living in a gated community in a
brand new apartment.
It is really especially nice having
something so close to school, added
Gatins, who is a junior forensics major

at Florida Gulf Coast University. I

move in in November. I am very excited.
For Peter Lugo, finding Spectra is
like a dream come true. He is a disabled, retired New York City police officer and a 9-11 rescue worker. Lugo
had been searching for a place that met
his specific needs.
They are helping me, Lugo said.
This is the first one that will supply me
with the option of a walk in shower.
They are helpful for the handicapped
and disabled.
Lugo said Spectra designed his
apartment not only with a walk in shower rather than a tub shower, but they
also put railings in the bathroom for
him.
It is hard to find an apartment that
is new with everything that is modern
and with all the USB ports. This is a
modern facility. It is a beautiful apart-

Lugo is also excited about the dog
park. He said it will make it easier to
walk his mixed hound breed service
dog, Pebbles.
That is the best thing, he said. I
had been going to Buckingham to the
dog park and that is quite a ride. Having
a dog park helps out a lot of people.
Lugo said he plans to use the fitness
center and the on demand classes. He is
also looking forward to walking around
the community and enjoying the scenery.
It is amazing, Lugo exclaimed. I
think it is the place I am going to be for
the rest of my life.
Cat Cardoza, community manager
for Spectra who is part of Greystar, a
property management company, said
the apartments will appeal to a wide vaSee Apartments, Page 2F
