The Indianhead Lehigh Acres Neighborhood Association works to maintain and enhance the character and spirit of our community as a well-maintained, safe, friendly neighborhood.

Neighbors of Indianhead-Lehigh work with city and county governments to develop specific plans which encourage safe traffic patterns for all vehicles and pedestrians, providing access throughout the neighborhood and into surrounding areas.

The Indianhead Lehigh Neighborhood Association board meets on a regular basis (every month or every other month, depending on need, on the first Thursday of the month at 7pm). The agenda for the next meeting is sent via email. If you would like to be added to the neighborhood email list, please subscribe here. If you have a concern, comment or interest in joining the board, feel free to contact the board or any of the officers listed below at this email address: email hidden; JavaScript is required.
