That matters in Creekside for a specific reason. The county deed record shows that Creekside prices reset: the 11 qualified Creekside deeds recorded from November 2021 through July 2024 ran from $2,435,000 to $3,605,000, while the 13 recorded since September 2024 ran from $1,650,000 to $2,545,000. A listing agent who prices a Creekside home off a 2022 sale, or off a Bonita Bay average, can miss the market by a wide margin in either direction.
Recent Creekside track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months Creekside has seen 6 resales in the Lee County qualified-deed record (December 2025 through the newest recorded Creekside deed, June 16, 2026), totaling $12,195,000, and the highest-priced Creekside sale in that window was $2,250,000. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows the same six closings with a median of 22 days on market and a median sale-to-list ratio of 94.4%. Six is fewer than ten, so we list every sale instead of leaning on a median, and we will walk you through each one.

Creekside at Bonita Bay, section by section. Each link below jumps to its part of this guide, from the market snapshot and the association layers to the flood record, the comparison with Woodlake, the seller section and the sources behind every figure.
Living in Creekside means owning a detached estate home and its land inside Bonita Bay’s gates: a private pool and lanai, a lot that backs to the Creekside golf course, a lake, preserve or the Spring Creek corridor, and five quiet streets that carry no through traffic. The 103 homes date from 1991 to 2002, with a median heated area of 3,777 square feet on the county roll.
That is fundamentally different from living in one of Bonita Bay’s eight high-rise towers. A Creekside owner holds fee-simple title to the house and the ground under it, maintains the home and the yard (subject to Bonita Bay’s design review), and walks out the back door into a natural setting rather than waiting for an elevator. Heated living areas on the county roll run from 2,947 to 6,498 square feet with a median of 3,777, and bedroom counts run three (45 homes), four (49 homes) or five (9 homes).
The Bonita Bay Community Association’s Street and Neighborhoods document lists five streets under Creekside, and the Lee County roll places all 103 Creekside homes on them.
Creekview Drive is the village spine and carries 48 of the 103 homes, split across Bonita Bay Unit 9 (25 homes) and Unit 27 (23 homes). Depending on where a home sits on Creekview Drive, the lot may face the Creekside course fairways, a lake or the natural creek-and-preserve corridor that gives the village its name.
Oak Hammock Court carries 27 homes, all in Unit 9. The name is ecologically precise: oak hammock is the term for a hardwood forest dominated by live oak (Quercus virginiana) on slightly higher, well-drained ground between wetlands in Southwest Florida.
Osprey Nest Court carries 20 homes, 19 of them in Unit 30. Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) breed in Bonita Bay, and the tidal creek beside the village offers the shallow water and surface-swimming fish they hunt.
Pond Apple Court carries 4 homes. Pond apple (Annona glabra) is a native freshwater swamp tree that grows at the margin between standing water and dry land, the same transition that defines the edge between many Creekside lots and the creek corridor.
Red Oak Court carries 4 homes and completes the village.
Creekside is mid-sized by Bonita Bay standards. The county roll counts 103 single-family homes on the five streets. Bonita Bay as a whole covers about 2,400 acres with 3,346 residences, according to the Bonita Bay Community Association’s January 2026 media brochure.
That scale shapes daily life. With a hundred homes on private lots backing to preserve, golf course, lakes or the creek corridor, Creekside does not feel like a dense complex. Four of the five streets are courts, so traffic is residents, guests and service vehicles. When a correctly priced home comes to market here, it moves: the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 22 days on market for the six Creekside closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026.
Every Bonita Bay home, Creekside included, is equipped with Fiber-To-The-Home technology, and Hotwire’s Fision TV+ service delivers television, according to the Bonita Bay Community Association’s own description of the community (BBCA Style of Living). For buyers who work remotely or stream heavily, fiber delivered at the community level is a practical differentiator. Whether the service fee is part of the master assessment or billed separately is not published; it appears in the association documents provided in the sale.
Creekside’s 103 homes inside Bonita Bay recorded six resales in the last 12 months at a $2,047,500 median, and none was actively listed on the September 2026 MLS pull date, with one under contract.

Data updated: September 2026. Creekside home prices come from two records on this page: the Lee County qualified-deed file, which runs through September 2026 and is our primary recent-sales source, and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull. County deed records are through September 2026 and the MLS pull is dated September 30, 2026, so every figure below names its window and its source.
The Lee County Property Appraiser’s qualified-sale file (DOR-qualified, improved sales only, index built September 29, 2026) shows 13 Creekside sales in the 24 months since September 2024, the first window with ten or more sales. All 13 were resales; there is no builder-direct sale because Creekside was completed by 2002.
Creekside, Lee County qualified deeds | Sales | Median | Low | High | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
24 months since September 2024 | 13 | $2,000,000 | $1,650,000 | $2,545,000 | $26,040,000 |
Last 12 months (since September 2025) | 6 | $2,047,500 | $1,800,000 | $2,250,000 | $12,195,000 |
The 24-month median is the seventh of 13 sales, an observed deed at $2,000,000 (n = 13, odd). The 12-month median is the mean of the middle pair, $2,000,000 and $2,095,000 (n = 6, even). The newest recorded Creekside sale in the county file is dated June 16, 2026.
Because the last 12 months hold fewer than ten sales, here they are individually, by recording date and street:
Recorded | Street | Qualified deed price |
|---|---|---|
December 2025 | Creekview Drive | $2,095,000 |
December 2025 | Creekview Drive | $2,000,000 |
January 2026 | Oak Hammock Court | $1,950,000 |
January 2026 | Creekview Drive | $2,100,000 |
April 2026 | Osprey Nest Court | $1,800,000 |
June 2026 | Creekview Drive | $2,250,000 |
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull (Development BONITA BAY, sales closed October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2026) records six closed Creekside sales:
The county file and the MLS agree here, which is not always true. The six deeds recorded between December 2025 and June 2026 add to $12,195,000, the same total implied by the MLS mean, and the county’s middle pair gives the same $2,047,500 median. When the two records disagree on a future update, we will publish the deed figure as the sale price and name the MLS figure once with its date, because the county records deed consideration while the MLS records the reported closing price.
Across the six closings the median sale-to-list ratio was 94.4%. One more Creekside home, listed at $2,000,000 with 9 days on market, was under contract on the pull date.
The longer county record is the most important context a Creekside seller or buyer can have. The 11 qualified Creekside deeds recorded from November 2021 through July 2024 ranged from $2,435,000 to $3,605,000; the 13 recorded since September 2024 ranged from $1,650,000 to $2,545,000. Each deed is one home in one condition, so we do not average across the two periods or assign a cause from the deed file alone. What the record does show is that a Creekside price built from a 2022 or 2023 sale is out of date.
The yardstick below is each village’s Lee County qualified-deed median in the window named beside it (the first window with ten or more sales), with the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 median alongside. Data updated: September 2026.
Bonita Bay single-family village | Homes (county) | Built | Median heated sq ft | County window: sales, median | MLS Sep 2026: closed, median, DOM |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Creekside | 103 | 1991 to 2002 | 3,777 | 24 mo: 13, $2,000,000 | 6, $2,047,500, 22 |
108 | 1985 to 2025 | 3,231 | 24 mo: 18, $1,750,000 | 5, $1,792,000, 47 | |
35 | 1990 to 1997 | 2,231 | 36 mo: 12, $1,237,500 | 6, $1,237,500, 6 | |
62 | 1995 to 1998 | 1,986 | 24 mo: 11, $875,000 | 7, $832,500, 210 |
Creekside carries the largest median home and the highest 24-month county median of the four. Woodlake’s five MLS closings include two sales above $4,500,000, and its county range reaches $5,945,000; its $1,792,000 MLS median sits close to its $1,750,000 county median.
Creekside buyers are shopping a small, tight market: six sales a year on the recent record and no home actively listed for sale on the September 2026 pull date. When a well-positioned golf-front or creek-side home comes to market at a realistic price, it moves, as the 22-day median shows. The 2024 to 2026 reset also means today’s prices sit well below the 2022 and 2023 deeds, which is a real opportunity for a buyer who is ready.
Cash remains common in this segment and removes the appraisal contingency, which is a meaningful negotiating tool alongside a flexible closing date. If you want recent sold comps or a specific home’s price history, call or text Jesse McGreevy at (239) 898-6072 or Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873. We tracked every one of the 13 qualified Creekside deeds in the last 24 months for this guide, and we will walk you through each one.

Creekside came to be as one of the single-family villages the Bonita Bay Group created inside Bonita Bay, the 2,400-acre community it began in the mid-1980s. The Lee County plats are Bonita Bay Unit 9 (Plat Book 46, Pages 1 to 4), Unit 27 (Plat Book 55, Page 29) and Unit 30 (Plat Book 55, Page 42), and the homes followed from 1991 to 2002.
A common misconception is that Bonita Bay was built by WCI Communities. It was not. Bonita Bay was developed by the Bonita Bay Group, a privately held, locally based company whose legacy is now presented by Phoenix Bay Ventures. The community association was organized in January 1985 (Florida document N07041), and the original Declaration of General Protective Covenants and Restrictions for Bonita Bay was recorded on April 3, 1985 at Official Records Book 1778, Page 3516.
The founding philosophy was low density. The Bonita Bay Community Association describes a community of 2,400 acres “with less than half of the available land developed” (BBCA Style of Living), and it counts 3,346 residences today. That choice is why Bonita Bay looks the way it does: roads that wind through oak and pine, preserve buffers between villages, 12 miles of recreational paths, and Estero Bay Park’s 5,000-year-old Native American shell mounds inside the gates.
Creekside was built out over a decade. The county roll shows its homes by year built as five in 1991, five in 1992, eight in 1993, five in 1994, 15 in 1995, 18 in 1996, 16 in 1997, 12 in 1998, eight in 1999, six in 2000, three in 2001 and two in 2002. No Creekside home on the roll predates 1991, and more than half were completed from 1995 to 1998.
By the time the high-rise towers along Bonita Bay Boulevard were rising in the late 1990s and 2000s, Creekside was established, the golf courses were open, and the community’s identity was set. Bonita Bay is effectively built out, so the only way to own a Creekside home today is to buy one from an existing owner.
The chain of naming runs from waterway to golf course to village. Spring Creek runs along Bonita Bay’s northern border, and one of the three Arthur Hills courses on the Club’s Bonita Springs campus is the Creekside course, which “offers wide fairways leading to elevated, well-protected greens,” in the Club’s own words (Bonita Bay Club golf). The residential village beside that course and that creek took its name from both, and its street names (Osprey Nest, Pond Apple, Oak Hammock, Red Oak, Creekview) follow the same habit of naming streets after what was preserved.
Creekside homes are now 24 to 35 years old on the county roll. That is the point in a Florida home’s life where roof age, window type, wind mitigation and mechanical systems drive both price and insurance. Many Creekside homes have been renovated since they were built; the county roll records the original year built, not the date of the latest remodel, so a buyer reads the permit history and the inspection, not the year alone.
A Creekside home is a detached single-family estate home on its own lot: 103 homes on the county roll, all coded single-family (use code 01), with heated living areas from 2,947 to 6,498 square feet, a median of 3,777, and three to five bedrooms. There are no villas, coach homes or condominiums inside the Creekside plats.
The Lee County roll settles the product question. All 103 residential parcels in Bonita Bay Units 9, 27 and 30 on the five Creekside streets carry the single-family use code; the remaining six parcels in the plats are rights of way, a retention area and a tract on Country Club Drive. The BBCA’s street table lists Creekside among Bonita Bay’s single-family neighborhoods.
Heated living area runs 2,947 to 6,498 square feet on the county roll, and the six Creekside closings in the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull had a median of 3,825 square feet and $521 per square foot. Bedroom counts on the roll: 45 homes with three bedrooms, 49 with four and nine with five. Screened pools and lanais are the norm for Bonita Bay single-family homes of this era, and private outdoor living is the defining difference between Creekside and the tower condominiums.
Concrete block and stucco walls with tile roofs are the norm for Bonita Bay single-family homes of this era; confirm the construction of a specific home in the inspection and the property appraiser’s building record. Concrete block is generally favorable for wind and fire. Homes built before the 2002 Florida Building Code may have original non-impact windows with shutters added later, which is why a wind mitigation inspection (roof shape, roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachment and opening protection) is the single most important insurance document on a Creekside purchase. The current code is the Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), effective December 31, 2023 (Florida Building Commission).
The Creekside course runs beside the village, and the Club describes its wide fairways; beyond golf, lots nearer Spring Creek look to the waterway and preserve. The view from a specific lot is a parcel-level question:
The county roll does not record a lot’s view, so view premiums are priced from individual comparable sales and a site visit, not from a village average.
Spring Creek is the tidal waterway that runs along Bonita Bay’s northern border beside the Creekside village, and it flows west to Estero Bay, Florida’s first aquatic preserve. The Bonita Bay Community Association calls it “one of the area’s most pristine waterways” and keeps Spring Creek Park on its banks for resident kayak and canoe access.
The Bonita Bay Community Association describes Spring Creek as “one of the area’s most pristine waterways cascading along the northern border of the community” (BBCA parks). That is largely true: this is a real tidal creek running beside an Audubon-certified community and into a state aquatic preserve, with dolphins, manatees, osprey and snook in the estuary system.
Here is what the brochure description leaves out, in the interest of buyer transparency: the marine segment of Spring Creek (waterbody ID 3258HA) is listed in the CHNEP Water Atlas as impaired for one or more water-quality parameters, meaning Florida’s water-quality standards are not currently met for at least one measure. That does not make the creek unsafe to paddle, and it is common for Estero Bay tributaries; it is simply a documented fact most descriptions of this village skip.
The creek is also tidal, flowing both ways with the tides, rainfall and storm surge. That makes for an interesting paddle rather than a static pond, and it means the creek’s edge behaves differently from a freshwater lake or canal.
Spring Creek flows west to Estero Bay, designated Florida’s first aquatic preserve in 1966 and managed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, with seagrass beds, mangrove islands, tidal flats and oyster bars across the protected estuary (Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve Management Plan).
For Creekside owners, the practical result is a paddle from the Spring Creek Park launch, down the tidal creek, through the mangrove-fringed creek system and out to the open water of the preserve. West Indian manatees and bottlenose dolphins use tidal creeks throughout the Estero Bay estuary.
The Bonita Bay Community Association keeps Spring Creek Park on the creek for resident water access, and every Creekside owner has access as an association member. The BBCA lists its amenities as kayak and canoe storage racks and a launch dock, a bocce court, a basketball hoop, a playground and picnic area, a pet water station, nature trails, a gazebo and an observation deck (BBCA parks). Rack availability and any waiting list are set by the association.
Whether a particular Creekside lot may add a private dock or launch on Spring Creek is not stated in any public source we found. Several layers would govern it: the recorded plat for the lot, the master Declaration’s architectural review (no improvement may be built without prior written BBCA approval), state and federal permitting for any structure in tidal waters, and the downstream protections of the Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve. If dock access matters to your purchase, make it a written condition of your inspection period and read the plat and the BBCA design approval history for that address before you are bound.
Creekside’s natural setting is one of the main reasons buyers choose it over a comparably priced home elsewhere: herons, egrets, wood storks, ospreys and alligators are documented around Bonita Bay’s ponds, and the Spring Creek and Estero Bay corridor adds manatees, dolphins and snook, all within a community the BBCA describes as a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary.
A resident scientist’s published photographic series on one Bonita Bay retention pond (EvergladesArk) documents the Wood Stork (Mycteria americana, federally threatened), Great Blue Heron, Great Egret, Tricolored Heron, a group of about twenty White Ibis, an Anhinga catching a Mayan cichlid, and an Osprey watching from a nearby tree.
Expected along the Spring Creek and Estero Bay corridor: Snowy Egret, Little Blue Heron, Roseate Spoonbill, Sandhill Crane, Bald Eagle, Red-shouldered Hawk, Barred Owl, Belted Kingfisher and, in winter, Painted Bunting. Audubon’s Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary lies inland in the same watershed.
Why the Wood Stork matters: it is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, and its presence as a forager in Bonita Bay’s pond system is a marker of prey and habitat quality.
The same pond series records snook, bluegill, tilapia, largemouth bass and the invasive Mayan cichlid. Expected in the tidal segment of Spring Creek: redfish, juvenile tarpon, sheepshead, mullet, spotted seatrout and blue crab.
Every Creekside home comes with automatic membership in the Bonita Bay Community Association, the master association that maintains Bonita Bay’s roads, grounds, lakes and stormwater system, three waterside parks, 12 miles of paths and the gulf-front Private Beach. Golf, tennis and the Club’s fitness and dining are a separate, optional membership in the Bonita Bay Club.
The BBCA puts it plainly: “When purchasing property within the gates of Bonita Bay, all homeowners automatically become ‘members’ of the Community Association, the entity responsible for maintaining common areas: grounds, roads, streetlights, lake and storm water management, plus all of our recreational parks including the Private Beach” (BBCA Community Association). Its realtor page adds that homeowners “instantly gain exclusive membership and access to all Community Association Amenities” (BBCA realtor and buyer resources).
Bonita Bay is gated, and the BBCA runs a Community Patrol inside the gates alongside its professionally staffed Design Review Department (BBCA Community Association). Law enforcement for the City of Bonita Springs is the Lee County Sheriff’s Office. Guest and vendor access procedures are set by the association.
Estero Bay Park, in the northwestern corner of the property, covers 13 acres of historical and archaeological significance: an 800-foot boardwalk through coastal mangroves ending at a private pier over Estero Bay, a Monarch Way-Station Butterfly Garden, nature trails, a screened pavilion, playground, picnic areas with gas grills, a pet water station and 5,000-year-old Native American shell mounds.
Riverwalk Park, along the Imperial River on the southern edge of Bonita Bay, offers direct boating access to Estero Bay, a boat ramp, a bocce facility with outdoor pavilion, renovated pickleball courts, a basketball court, a 5-station Parcourse fitness trail, kayak storage and launch, pet water stations, a playground and picnic areas.
Spring Creek Park, on Spring Creek at the northern border, is the park nearest the Creekside streets, with kayak and canoe racks and a launch dock (all three parks per BBCA parks).
The BBCA-owned Private Beach is a privately owned gulf-front facility about “10 minutes from gate to gate,” with year-round shuttle service for residents (BBCA Private Beach). Hurricane Ian caused its total destruction; it was rebuilt with breakaway walls and reopened on November 13 (the BBCA page does not print the year).
Bonita Bay has 12 miles of recreational paths connecting the villages, parks and Club campus (BBCA Media Brochure, January 2026). The association programs year-round events and life-long learning, and it describes Bonita Bay as a Blue Zones Recognized Community and as the first gated community nationwide to donate more than one million dollars to United Way. The BBCA’s awards list includes Audubon certification and a run of grounds awards from 2010 to 2025 (BBCA Awards and Recognitions 2026).
The Bonita Bay Marina gives Creekside owners a boating option that their own lots do not: a semi-private, full-service marina on the Imperial River with direct access to Estero Bay and the Gulf, created and owned by a group of Bonita Bay resident investors and operated separately from both the association and the Club, with its own fees.
The BBCA lists 326 dry storage spaces for boats up to 36 feet and 98 wet slips for vessels up to 16,000 pounds, with a ship’s store, boat launch, bait, fuel and on-site repair; additional fees apply (BBCA marina page). The BBCA’s January 2026 brochure confirms that the Marina and the Club “operate as separately owned and managed member-exclusive entities.” Spotlight News reported that 39 resident investors bought the marina and restaurant in July 2013 (Spotlight News).
The marina sits on the Imperial River at the southern edge of Bonita Bay, the opposite end of the community from Creekside, so Creekside boaters use it for a slip or dry storage rather than walking to it daily. Backwater Jacks, the waterfront restaurant at the marina, is open for dining to all residents (BBCA realtor and buyer resources). Slip and storage fees are not published.
The Bonita Bay Club is an optional, separately owned private club inside Bonita Bay, with five championship golf courses on two campuses, a sports center, the Lifestyle Center and dining. Buying a Creekside home does not make you a Club member and does not require you to join; membership is a separate decision with its own fees.
No. Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership, and no Bonita Bay document requires a Creekside owner to join. The Club states that “Bonita Bay Club is a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay” (Bonita Bay Club, Our Community), and the BBCA’s realtor page describes the Club as something homeowners may consider “for those who wish to further engage in golfing or other sporting activities” (BBCA realtor and buyer resources). The recorded master Declaration treats the golf facilities as privately owned and operated by persons other than the association, with Club fees outside the Declaration.
Members bought the Club from the developer in 2010 (Business Observer, April 2, 2010). A Club release says members approved a $110 million clubhouse project in May 2026 and describes the Club as Florida’s largest member-owned private golf club (Club release via Hunter PR).
The Club has five championship courses: three Arthur Hills designs (Bay Island, Marsh and Creekside) on the Bonita Springs campus inside the gates, and two Tom Fazio designs (Cypress and Sabal) on its Naples campus (Bonita Bay Club golf). That is 90 holes of championship golf across the two campuses.
Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership. The Club does not publish initiation fees or dues on its public website; the Club’s membership office provides the current schedule. Figures quoted on third-party websites are not Club documents, so a buyer should rely only on the schedule the Club provides.
Creekside owners pay the Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment, plus any village-level assessment the documents create, and Bonita Bay has no CDD. The BBCA does not publish its master assessment or resale charges on its public website, so the real numbers come from the estoppel certificate and the disclosure summary in the sale.
Bonita Bay Community Association does not publish its master assessment or resale charges on its public website. Every owner pays the master assessment plus any neighborhood or condominium association assessment. Current figures, including any charge due at closing, appear in the estoppel certificate and the §720.401 disclosure summary provided in the sale (Section 720.401, Florida Statutes).
The BBCA (Florida not-for-profit corporation, document N07041, active, filed January 10, 1985) operates as a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, Florida Statutes. Its assessment funds the common areas and roads, streetlights, lake and stormwater management, the three parks, the Private Beach, the Community Patrol, the Design Review Department and community programming. The dollar amount is not published.
No Creekside entity tied to Bonita Bay appears on the Florida Division of Corporations register; name searches in September 2026 returned only unrelated entities elsewhere in Florida. Some Bonita Bay estate villages have no separate village association and pay only the master assessment, but that is not verified for Creekside. Until a primary document settles it, confirm any village-level association and assessment in the estoppel certificate before you are bound.
Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership, and the Club does not publish its initiation fees or dues. It is a cost only if you choose to join.
Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district. Lee County’s list of special districts names nearby CDDs, including Bay Creek, Bayside Improvement, the two Brooks of Bonita Springs districts, Bonita Landing and Saltleaf, but no district for Bonita Bay (Lee County special districts). The Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District on that list is an independent fire district covering the area, not a Bonita Bay district.
Property taxes are set by the City of Bonita Springs, Lee County and the other taxing authorities on the Lee County bill; the parcel’s TRIM notice from the Lee County Tax Collector itemizes every line for a specific home. Insurance (homeowners, wind and flood) is the other major carrying cost and is covered in the flood section below.
The recorded 2011 master Declaration contains a buyer-paid resale reserve assessment, and a later BBCA written statement describes a different formula; no recorded amendment reconciling the two has been located. We therefore do not publish either figure as the current charge. The estoppel certificate states what is due at a Creekside closing.
Creekside homes are governed by the master Declaration for Bonita Bay, the BBCA By-Laws and the association’s Rules and Regulations and Design Guidelines. The current master Declaration is the Second Amended and Restated Declaration of General Protective Covenants and Restrictions for Bonita Bay, recorded June 22, 2011 as Lee County Instrument 2011000142834.
The Lee County Clerk’s search portals block automated access, so a buyer or title agent retrieves these by instrument number at the Clerk.
Under §9.2 of the master Declaration, no improvement may be built, altered, planted or removed without prior written BBCA approval; submittals run in two stages; unapproved work can be removed at the owner’s cost, including the association’s attorney fees; and the association’s standards may be stricter than city or county codes. The BBCA’s professionally staffed Design Review Department administers it for every neighborhood, Creekside included. There is no separate Creekside review board on the public record.
The detailed list of what triggers review (paint colors, roofs, additions, fences, pools, outdoor kitchens, driveways, lighting and landscaping) lives in the BBCA Design Guidelines, which are not public. A 1999 Urban Land Institute case study of Bonita Bay described a community-wide standard that landscaping use at least 50% native vegetation; confirm the current requirement in the Design Guidelines before you plan a landscape change.
Creekside is not described as a 55-and-over community in any Bonita Bay document we reviewed: neither the BBCA’s public pages nor the recorded master Declaration’s provisions summarized on this page set an age restriction, and the county roll and the Southwest Florida MLS record no age-restricted product inside the Creekside plats.
If an age restriction ever mattered to a purchase or sale, it would have to appear in recorded documents, so confirm it in the documents delivered with the sale rather than relying on marketing.
A Creekside owner can lease the home subject to the Bonita Bay governing documents: the recorded master Declaration sets no minimum lease term, no cap on leases and no lease approval, but it binds every tenant to the governing documents, and any more restrictive neighborhood rule controls. In practice Creekside is an owner-occupied village with no MLS rental records.
The master Declaration’s leasing language provides that “any lease of a Unit shall provide or be deemed to provide that the tenant and all occupants of the leased Unit are bound by” the governing documents. Day-to-day use rules sit in the BBCA Rules and Regulations, which are not public. That is not the same as “no rental restrictions”: read the Rules and Regulations and any village-level document before you sign a lease.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull returned no Creekside rental record, active or leased in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and the June 2026 pull showed the same. Rentals essentially never reach the open market here. We do not invent a rental rate where none exists, and at Creekside’s price point, with layered carrying costs, we frame it as a lifestyle and long-term hold, not an income property.
No public Bonita Bay document we reviewed authorizes nightly or weekly rentals, and the absence of any MLS rental history in Creekside is consistent with owner occupancy. Treat short-term renting as not available until the current Rules and Regulations say otherwise in writing.
Pet rules at Creekside come from the BBCA Rules and Regulations and any village-level documents, not from the recorded master Declaration, which contains no pet provision. As a single-family village, Creekside carries none of the building-level weight or breed limits a condominium tower may impose, but leash, waste and nuisance rules apply in Bonita Bay’s common areas, parks and paths.
Each Bonita Bay park lists pet water stations, and the 12 miles of paths are a daily dog-walking route for many residents. Keep dogs leashed and away from pond edges, where alligators live. Under federal fair housing law, properly documented assistance animals are protected regardless of any pet rule. Confirm the current pet rules in the association documents delivered during your inspection period.
Hurricane Ian made landfall at Cayo Costa as a Category 4 storm on September 28, 2022, and it hit Bonita Bay hard: the BBCA’s gulf-front Private Beach, outside the gates, was totally destroyed and rebuilt, and the Bonita Bay Club reported flooding and bridge damage on its Bonita Springs courses. No Creekside-specific home flooding record was found in a primary source.
The official record of the storm is the National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Cyclone Report (NHC, Hurricane Ian). In Bonita Springs, surge came up the river and flooded homes along the river and creeks (WUSF, October 1, 2022). The City’s recovery pages are at City of Bonita Springs, Hurricane Ian.
The Bonita Bay Club’s October 13, 2022 update reported that the Cart Barn flooded (the carts had been moved first), most tennis courts and lighting were in rough shape, and “with some exception on Creekside,” the course bridges on Bay Island and Marsh were structurally undrivable (Bonita Bay Club, Hurricane Ian update). The Naples campus was back to normal after cleanup, and two courses, half the courts, dining and the Lifestyle Center reopened first.
The resident scientist’s pond series cited above records seawater at about 10.3 feet above mean sea level at one Bonita Bay retention pond during Ian. That is one measurement at one pond, not a Creekside address, but it is worth reading next to Creekside’s 10-foot base flood elevation below.
Helene made landfall in Florida’s Big Bend in late September 2024, and Milton came ashore on the Gulf coast in early October 2024 (NHC, Helene; NHC, Milton). The City of Bonita Springs recorded Milton’s coastal surge, tornadoes and wind damage citywide (City of Bonita Springs, Milton). No Bonita Bay or Creekside-specific damage from either storm was found in a primary source.
Creekside sits in FEMA Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 10 feet (NAVD88) at every Creekside address point we tested, on FIRM panel 12071C0652G effective November 17, 2022, inside the City of Bonita Springs (NFIP community 120680) and Lee County Evacuation Zone A. The City’s CRS Class 5 rating gives a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies.
On September 29, 2026 we geocoded five Creekside address points with the US Census geocoder, three on Creekview Drive, one on Oak Hammock Court and one on Osprey Nest Court, and queried FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (FEMA NFHL). All five returned Zone AE, coastal floodplain, static base flood elevation 10 feet, on panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022, in the City of Bonita Springs political area. No unshaded minimal-hazard Zone X was found anywhere in Bonita Bay, so no Creekside lot should be assumed to sit outside the flood zone.
Flood zones are set per structure and per parcel, and the geocoder places points on the street in front of each address. Confirm the zone for a specific home with an elevation certificate and the FEMA or City flood map for that address. Flood insurance is federally required for a federally backed mortgage on a structure in an AE zone (Lee County mandatory flood insurance information).
FEMA’s Letter of Final Determination dated September 2, 2026 sets a March 2, 2027 effective date for a revision affecting six unincorporated Lee County panels (0576, 0577, 0578, 0579, 0581 and 0583); none is a Bonita Bay panel (Lee County, 2026 FEMA map changes). The countywide Flood Insurance Study volume in that series lists the City of Bonita Springs as community 120680 (FIS Volume 1). Check the address again in 2027.
The City of Bonita Springs holds Community Rating System Class 5, a 25% discount on NFIP flood insurance policies, and FEMA confirmed on November 21, 2024 that the City keeps its rating after the post-Ian review (City of Bonita Springs CRS; City release). The City also notes that each foot a home is elevated above the required base flood elevation cuts the annual flood premium by nearly 50%, and each foot below it doubles the rate (City flood protection information). City floodplain rules are in Ordinance 22-05.
Lee County’s evacuation layer returns Zone A at Creekside address points (Lee County evacuation zones). Zone A is the first area ordered to evacuate and is often ordered for any named storm coming from the Gulf (Zone A fact sheet).
We do not publish premium estimates, because the only reliable number is a quote on the specific address. The variables that move a Creekside premium most are (1) wind mitigation features documented in a wind mitigation inspection, (2) roof age and condition, (3) the home’s elevation relative to the 10-foot base flood elevation, shown on an elevation certificate, and (4) coverage amount and carrier. Get quotes from independent Florida-licensed agents during your inspection period, not after closing. Florida’s My Safe Florida Home program offers hardening grants to eligible homesteaded owners.
Creekside families choose Lee County public schools within their proximity zones rather than being placed at a single school by address: under the district’s most recent published plan, nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High. Confirm an address’s zones with the School District of Lee County before relying on them.
Bonita Bay families rank Lee County public schools within their proximity zone; nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High. Confirm an address’s zone with the School District of Lee County. Under the district’s most recent published plan (2025-2026), the elementary proximity zone that holds the Bonita Springs schools is Zone Q (Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos, Spring Creek and Three Oaks elementary schools), the middle proximity zone is Zone GG (Bonita Springs Middle and Three Oaks Middle), and high school uses the South residential choice zone with sub-zones (2025-2026 Student Enrollment Plan). The School Board approved the 2026-2027 plan on December 1, 2025 (School District of Lee County, school zones); use the district’s school zone locator for a specific Creekside address.
School sites: Bonita Springs High and Bonita Springs Middle.
Families also consider private schools in Naples and Lee County, including Community School of Naples and Seacrest Country Day School. Most Creekside buyers are second-home or empty-nest buyers, but for primary-resident families the proximity zones above are the starting point.
Building permits for Creekside homes are issued by the City of Bonita Springs Community Development Department, not by Lee County, because Bonita Bay lies inside the incorporated City of Bonita Springs (incorporated in 1999). Exterior work also needs Bonita Bay design review approval before the City permit is pulled.
Two approvals apply to most exterior projects on a Creekside home: (1) BBCA Design Review under §9.2 of the master Declaration, and (2) a City of Bonita Springs building permit for structural, roofing, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, pool and similar work (City of Bonita Springs, apply for a building permit; City Community Development). The City’s online services guide covers its Citizen Access permit portal (how to use online services). Fire plan review for applicable work runs through the fire district’s application (Bonita Springs Fire application), and substantial improvement of a home in the flood zone follows the City’s 50% rule (City substantial improvement toolkit).
Creekside is surrounded by the rest of Bonita Bay: the Bonita Bay Club’s Bonita Springs golf campus, lakes and preserve inside the gates, Spring Creek along the community’s northern border, and the US 41 commercial corridor along its eastern edge. Zoning and land use are set by the City of Bonita Springs, which maps Bonita Bay as a planned development area.
The City’s Zoning District Map Book shows zoning districts by map sheet within city limits, and the Future Land Use Element of the City Comprehensive Plan sets the policy framework. Zoning ordinances and resolutions are indexed on the City site (zoning ordinances; zoning resolutions). Because Bonita Bay is built out, the practical questions for a Creekside buyer are changes on the Club campus and along US 41, not new homes inside the village.
Daily life at Creekside runs on City of Bonita Springs services: Florida Power and Light for electricity, Bonita Springs Utilities for water and sewer, Waste Management curbside collection, and the Bonita Springs Fire Control and Rescue District for fire and emergency response, with the Bonita Bay Community Association handling roads, gates, patrol and common grounds.
Creekside homes have private attached garages and driveways, with guest parking at the home. EV charging goes in the owner’s own garage, subject to a City of Bonita Springs electrical permit; there are none of the shared-garage constraints a tower owner faces.
Bonita Bay is a gated community. Guest and vendor access procedures, resident credentials and contractor rules are set by the association and delivered with the association documents.
Creekside sits inside Bonita Bay on the west side of US 41 in Bonita Springs, ZIP 34134, between Estero to the north and North Naples to the south, with Interstate 75 reached from Bonita Beach Road and Southwest Florida International Airport to the north in Fort Myers. Shopping, medical care and beaches are all a short drive.
Drive times depend heavily on season and time of day along US 41, so we do not publish minute figures; test the drives that matter to you during a winter visit.
Creekside compares with Bonita Bay’s other neighborhoods on land, price and product: it is a large single-family estate village with the biggest median home of the single-family villages in our table, a 24-month county median of $2,000,000, and fee-simple ownership, where the eight towers offer condominium living with elevation and views.
High-rise towers: eight towers on Bonita Bay Boulevard (Horizons, Vistas, Estancia, Tavira, Azure, Esperia South, Seaglass and Omega) with condominium ownership, bay and Gulf views and lock-and-leave convenience, subject to Florida’s condominium structural and reserve laws. Their Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 medians range widely, from about $925,000 at Esperia South to $2,250,000 at Azure.
Single-family estate villages: Creekside and Woodlake, each with more than 100 homes, private pools and lanais and fee-simple land.
Smaller single-family villages: Riviera, 35 homes on one cul-de-sac, and Bay Harbor, 62 homes, both at lower price points on the county record.
Coach homes, carriage homes and villas: the two-story condominium and villa neighborhoods, at the entry price points of Bonita Bay.
Buyers choosing between Creekside and a tower are choosing between ownership models. Creekside offers fee-simple land, a private pool and lanai and no exposure to condominium structural-integrity reserve assessments. The towers offer elevated water views, lock-and-leave living and no yard to maintain. At the top of the tower market the price bands overlap Creekside’s.
Pelican Landing, another Bonita Springs community on Spring Creek, has its own beach and amenity model. Mediterra, another Bonita Bay Group community to the south, pairs two Tom Fazio courses with a Naples club culture. Creekside’s combination of tidal-creek access, a golf village setting and Bonita Bay’s three parks and Private Beach is the differentiator.
Creekside and Woodlake are Bonita Bay’s two large single-family estate villages, 103 and 108 homes. Creekside’s homes are newer and more uniform (1991 to 2002, median 3,777 square feet) and trade in a tighter band around $2,000,000; Woodlake is older with rebuilds (1985 to 2025, median 3,231 square feet) and a much wider price range.

Choose Creekside if you want a 1990s estate home in a consistent price band, a golf village beside the Creekside course and Spring Creek, and a market where 13 sales in two years give a clear read on value. Choose Woodlake if you want the widest range of choices, from an original mid-1980s home to a new rebuild, and are prepared to price each home on its own because the spread runs from about $1.2 million to nearly $6 million. Buyers who want a smaller, lower-priced single-family street should also look at Riviera.

Owning in Creekside means a 1990s estate home on its own land inside a gated, low-density community, with golf and a tidal creek at the door and no CDD, balanced against Zone AE flood exposure, unpublished association costs and homes old enough that roofs, windows and insurance drive value. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we would rather you make the right decision than the fast one.
The setting is fixed. Creekside’s position beside the Creekside course and the Spring Creek corridor cannot be reproduced, and Bonita Bay is built out: no new homes can be added to this village.
Fee-simple land ownership. You own the house, the pool and the ground, and you are outside the condominium reserve and structural-inspection regime that applies to the towers.
Spring Creek access. Kayak, canoe or paddleboard from Spring Creek Park into a tidal waterway that reaches Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve, Florida’s first (1966).
Documented conservation. An Audubon-certified community where less than half the land was developed, with wood storks and ospreys on the record.
No CDD. Bonita Bay has no community development district and no special taxing district.
A clear, current price band. Thirteen county-recorded resales in 24 months, a $2,000,000 median and a 22-day MLS median give buyers and sellers a readable market.
Association costs are not published. The master assessment, any village-level assessment and the resale charge must be read from the estoppel certificate; budget for them before you offer.
Flood exposure is real. Every Creekside point we tested is Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation, inside Evacuation Zone A, and Ian flooded parts of Bonita Bay, including the Club’s Cart Barn.
Homes are 24 to 35 years old. Roof age, windows and wind mitigation drive insurance and resale value; budget for updates on an original home.
Prices reset after 2024. The 2022 and 2023 deeds were much higher than today’s; buyers benefit, but an owner who bought at the peak should price from the current record.
Spring Creek carries a state impairment listing for at least one water-quality parameter, despite the BBCA’s “pristine” description.
Tight inventory cuts both ways. Six sales a year and no active listing on the September 2026 pull date mean buyers must be ready to act when the right home appears.
If you’re searching for a Creekside listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need someone to sell my Creekside home…’, start with the record: 13 qualified Creekside deeds in 24 months at a $2,000,000 median, six in the last 12 months at $2,047,500, and a 22-day MLS median. McGreevy and Comisar price, prepare and market Creekside homes from that record, not from a Bonita Bay average.
Our credentials as your Creekside listing agent:
In the last 12 months Creekside has seen 6 resales in the Lee County qualified-deed record, at $2,095,000, $2,000,000, $1,950,000, $2,100,000, $1,800,000 and $2,250,000, for $12,195,000 in volume. Over the 24-month window the record shows 13 resales and $26,040,000 in volume. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 22 days on market for the six closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and a median sale-to-list ratio of 94.4%.
Four things. First, the price reset: a Creekside price has to be built from the 2024 to 2026 deeds, not the 2022 peak. Second, condition dominates in a 1990s village, so the roof, windows, wind mitigation report and permit history set the price as much as square footage. Third, Bonita Bay’s open house and sign rules are specific: open houses need 72 hours’ notice to the BBCA with the listing agreement, run Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, use the BBCA sign standard, and allow no SOLD signs (BBCA Open House Guidelines). Fourth, buyers will ask about the Club, flood and association costs on the first call, and we answer with documents.

Price it from the 13 qualified Creekside deeds since September 2024, weighted toward the six recorded since December 2025 at $1,800,000 to $2,250,000, and adjust each for size, condition, roof, windows and lot. Then check it against Woodlake on the same yardstick. A price built from a 2022 or 2023 deed will overshoot the current market.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 22 days on market for Creekside’s six closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, one of the faster figures among Bonita Bay’s single-family villages. Correctly priced homes move; homes priced off the old peak sit.
The Bonita Bay Community Association estoppel certificate, the §720.401 disclosure summary, your wind mitigation and four-point reports, roof documentation, your elevation certificate, City of Bonita Springs permit history and any post-Ian repair records. Having them ready at listing shortens the buyer’s review and protects your price.
BBCA membership passes to the buyer automatically at purchase, and no village association was found on the public record. Any approval step would come from the governing documents, which we read at listing so nothing surprises your closing date.
Club membership is optional and separate from the home, so it neither blocks nor completes the sale. How a member’s own membership ends or transfers is set by the Club’s membership documents, which are not public; ask the Club’s membership office before you list.

Creekside is a village where specifics decide the price: which of the five streets, which side of Creekview Drive, what the lot looks out on, how old the roof is, and whether the home has been updated since the 1990s. Buyers moving from out of state often decide from photos, video and documents before they visit, so the listing has to explain the golf, creek and preserve setting, the flood record and the association layers in plain language. That is the work we do on every Bonita Bay listing.

The best Creekside buyers we work with ask the most questions before the offer and the fewest after closing. Order the estoppel early, get insurance quotes during your inspection period, and use the disclosure periods Florida law provides. There is no obligation and no cost for an initial conversation.
These are the questions buyers ask us about Creekside at Bonita Bay, answered from the county record, the recorded Bonita Bay documents, FEMA and the City, and the Southwest Florida MLS.
Creekside is a single-family estate village inside Bonita Bay, the 2,400-acre master-planned community in Bonita Springs, FL 34134. Its 103 detached homes sit on Creekview Drive, Oak Hammock Court, Osprey Nest Court, Pond Apple Court and Red Oak Court, recorded as Bonita Bay Units 9, 27 and 30, beside Spring Creek and the Club’s Creekside course.
The Lee County roll counts 103 single-family homes on the five Creekside streets: 48 on Creekview Drive, 27 on Oak Hammock Court, 20 on Osprey Nest Court and 4 each on Pond Apple Court and Red Oak Court.
From 1991 to 2002 on the county roll, with more than half completed from 1995 to 1998 (61 of 103). No Creekside home on the roll predates 1991. Many homes have been renovated since.
Heated living area runs 2,947 to 6,498 square feet on the county roll, median 3,777, with three, four or five bedrooms. The six Creekside closings in the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull had a median living area of 3,825 square feet.
Concrete block and stucco with tile roofs is the norm for Bonita Bay single-family homes of this era; confirm a specific home in the inspection and the property appraiser’s building record. A wind mitigation inspection is the key insurance document.
The Bonita Bay Group, not WCI Communities. The Group developed Bonita Bay from the mid-1980s and later developed other Southwest Florida communities, including Mediterra.
The Lee County qualified-deed record shows 13 Creekside resales in the 24 months since September 2024 at a $2,000,000 median, range $1,650,000 to $2,545,000, and six in the last 12 months at a $2,047,500 median. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull matches those six, with a $521 median price per square foot.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 22 days on market for Creekside’s six closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026. Well-priced homes move quickly.
Prices on the county record reset from the 2022 and 2023 deeds ($2,435,000 to $3,605,000) to the 2024 to 2026 band ($1,650,000 to $2,545,000), and no Creekside home was actively listed on the September 2026 MLS pull date. Buyers get today’s prices but must be ready to act.
Not published. Bonita Bay Community Association does not publish its master assessment or resale charges on its public website; the estoppel certificate and the §720.401 disclosure summary provided in the sale give the current figures.
None was found on the Florida Division of Corporations register. Confirm any village-level association and assessment in the estoppel certificate.
No. Bonita Bay Club membership is optional and separate from home ownership. The Club says it is “a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay,” and it does not publish initiation fees or dues. No Bonita Bay document requires a Creekside owner to join.
No. Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district, per Lee County’s official special districts list.
No Creekside-specific residential damage record was found in a primary source. The Club reported the Creekside course’s bridges fared better than Bay Island’s and Marsh’s, and the BBCA’s Private Beach was destroyed and rebuilt. Ask for the seller’s disclosure, claim history and permit history.
Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation at all five Creekside address points we tested on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022. Confirm the specific home with an elevation certificate.
Yes. The City of Bonita Springs holds CRS Class 5, a 25% discount on NFIP flood policies, confirmed by FEMA on November 21, 2024.
Lee County Evacuation Zone A, the first zone ordered to evacuate.
Yes, from Spring Creek Park, the BBCA park on Spring Creek with a kayak and canoe launch dock and storage racks. The tidal creek flows west to Estero Bay Aquatic Preserve.
Not established by any public source. Any dock needs BBCA design approval and state and federal permits for tidal waters; make it a written condition of your inspection period if it matters.
Wood storks, great blue herons, great egrets, tricolored herons, white ibis, anhingas, ospreys and alligators are documented around Bonita Bay’s ponds, and the Spring Creek and Estero Bay corridor adds manatees, dolphins and snook.
Yes. The BBCA’s Private Beach is a privately owned gulf-front facility about 10 minutes from the gates, with year-round shuttle service. It was destroyed by Hurricane Ian and rebuilt.
The Creekside course runs beside the village on the Club’s Bonita Springs campus. Playing it requires Bonita Bay Club membership, which is optional and separate.
No public Bonita Bay document authorizes nightly or weekly rentals, and the MLS shows no Creekside rental record in the last year. The master Declaration binds tenants to the governing documents; read the Rules and Regulations before any lease.
Yes, subject to the BBCA Rules and Regulations; the master Declaration itself contains no pet provision. Leash and waste rules apply in the parks and on the paths.
Lee County uses proximity-based school choice: nearby options include Spring Creek Elementary, Bonita Springs Middle and Bonita Springs High. Confirm an address’s zones with the School District of Lee County.

These are the questions Creekside owners ask us before they list, answered from the Lee County deed record, the recorded Bonita Bay documents, FEMA and the City of Bonita Springs, and the Southwest Florida MLS.
Your Creekside home is worth what the current record supports for its size, condition and lot, and the current record is the 13 qualified Creekside deeds since September 2024: a $2,000,000 median and a $1,650,000 to $2,545,000 range. A larger, updated home with a newer roof sits toward the top of that band; an original home needing work sits toward the bottom. We build a Creekside valuation from those deeds, adjusted for your home, and check it against Woodlake on the same yardstick.
Six Creekside homes recorded qualified sales in the last 12 months: $2,095,000 and $2,000,000 in December 2025, $1,950,000 and $2,100,000 in January 2026, $1,800,000 in April 2026 and $2,250,000 in June 2026. That is $12,195,000 in volume at a $2,047,500 median. The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows the same six closings, with a median of 22 days on market and a $521 median price per square foot.
The Lee County deed record shows the drop but not its cause. The 11 qualified Creekside deeds from November 2021 through July 2024 ran from $2,435,000 to $3,605,000; the 13 since September 2024 ran from $1,650,000 to $2,545,000. Each deed is one home in one condition, so we do not average the periods. For pricing, what matters is that buyers compare your home with the recent deeds, not the peak.
The six qualified Creekside deeds recorded from December 2025 to June 2026 carry the most weight, followed by the other seven since September 2024. We match each to your home by street, heated square footage (the village runs 2,947 to 6,498 square feet), year built, roof and window updates and what the lot looks out on. A price built from one sale, or from a Bonita Bay average, misses the market.
For the last year, yes. The six Creekside deeds recorded from December 2025 to June 2026 total $12,195,000 with a $2,047,500 median, and the Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull reports six closings with the same median and the same implied total. When the two ever disagree, the county records deed consideration while the MLS records the reported closing price, and we publish the deed figure.
The Southwest Florida MLS, September 2026 pull shows a median of 22 days on market for Creekside’s six closings in the 12 months to September 30, 2026, and no Creekside home was actively listed on the pull date. A correctly priced, well-presented home can go under contract quickly; a home priced off the 2022 and 2023 deeds will sit. Inspection, estoppel and insurance timelines then set the closing date.
On the county record, Creekside’s 24-month median of $2,000,000 across 13 sales sits above Woodlake’s $1,750,000 across 18 sales and well above Riviera’s $1,237,500 over 36 months. Creekside homes are larger on the roll (median 3,777 square feet against 3,231 and 2,231) and more uniform in age. Buyers cross-shop Woodlake most, so we price a Creekside home with both villages in view.
The county roll does not record a lot’s view, so no public dataset isolates a Creekside view premium. In practice, buyers pay for what the lanai looks out on: Creekside course fairways, a lake, preserve or the Spring Creek corridor. We price the view from individual Creekside comparables with similar outlooks and show it in photography, video and the listing description.
Yes. Creekside homes were built from 1991 to 2002, so buyers compare roofs, windows, wind mitigation and mechanical systems more than floor plans. A 1995 home with a newer permitted roof and impact glass competes with the best recent sales; one with original systems competes on price. Pull your City of Bonita Springs permit history before listing so the upgrades are documented.
Heated area on the county roll runs from 2,947 to 6,498 square feet, median 3,777, and the six trailing-year MLS closings had a median of $521 per square foot on a 3,825 square foot median home. Size matters, but condition and lot often matter more at Creekside, so we adjust each comparable for both rather than applying a single price per square foot.
It can. Creekview Drive carries 48 of the 103 homes and most of the recent sales; Oak Hammock Court (27 homes), Osprey Nest Court (20), Pond Apple Court (4) and Red Oak Court (4) are courts with less traffic. Four of the six sales in the last 12 months were on Creekview Drive. We compare your home first with sales on its own street, then across the village.
McGreevy and Comisar, the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, with over $900 million in personal sales. For this guide we tracked every qualified Creekside deed since 2021, measured the flood zone at five Creekside addresses and read the recorded Bonita Bay documents, and we bring that same record to pricing and marketing your home.
Yes, under the Bonita Bay Community Association’s Open House Guidelines. Open houses run Monday to Saturday 9 to 5 and Sunday 1 to 4, and the listing agreement and request go to the BBCA by email with at least 72 hours’ notice. The BBCA sign standard applies. We handle the notice and scheduling for every Creekside open house we hold.
Only a sign that meets the BBCA sign standard in its Open House Guidelines. The guidelines allow no SOLD signs and no signs on the golf courses, on the bike paths, on US 41 at Bonita Bay Boulevard or on Bonita Bay Boulevard at Country Club Drive. That is why Creekside marketing leans on online reach, video and our buyer network rather than roadside signs.
Bonita Bay Community Association membership passes automatically to the buyer at purchase, and no separate Creekside association was found on the state register. Any approval step would have to come from the governing documents, and no public Bonita Bay document we reviewed imposes one on single-family buyers. We read the current documents at listing so no approval step surprises your closing date.
Section 12.13 of the recorded master Declaration requires the owner transferring title to obtain and deliver to the buyer the disclosure summary required by §720.401, Florida Statutes. Florida also expects you to disclose known material defects, including flooding or water intrusion and prior storm damage. We assemble the disclosure summary, the estoppel certificate and your inspection reports before the first showing.
The estoppel certificate is the association’s statement of what is owed on your home at closing: the current master assessment, any unpaid amounts, any special assessment and any charge due at transfer. Because the BBCA does not publish its assessment or resale charges, the estoppel is the document that gives your buyer the real numbers. Ordering it early keeps the closing on schedule.
The recorded 2011 master Declaration contains a buyer-paid resale reserve assessment, and a later BBCA written statement describes a different formula; no recorded amendment reconciling the two has been located. We therefore do not quote a figure. The estoppel certificate states what is due at a Creekside closing and who pays it under your contract.
The Bonita Bay Community Association master assessment, which every owner pays, plus any village-level assessment the documents create for Creekside. Neither is published, and no Creekside association appears on the state register. Have your latest BBCA statement ready and order the estoppel early, so buyers see real numbers rather than guesses from websites.
Club membership is optional and separate from the home, so the sale of a Creekside home neither requires nor completes a Club transfer. How a member’s own membership ends, transfers or is resigned is set by the Club’s membership documents, which are not public. Ask the Club’s membership office before you list so you can answer golf buyers accurately.
Some will, because some older third-party websites said a Social Membership was mandatory. The Club itself says it is “a separate entity within the community of Bonita Bay,” and the BBCA presents membership as a choice for those who want golf or sports. We tell buyers that clearly, which widens your buyer pool to non-golfers.
No. Bonita Bay has no Community Development District and no special taxing district; Lee County’s official special districts list names nearby CDDs but none for Bonita Bay. Your buyer will see city, county and other taxing-authority lines on the Lee County bill, and the parcel’s TRIM notice itemizes them.
Every Creekside address point we tested on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer is Zone AE with a 10-foot base flood elevation on panel 12071C0652G, effective November 17, 2022. Disclose known flooding, water intrusion and flood claims. An elevation certificate showing your home’s floor above the 10-foot base flood elevation is one of the strongest documents you can hand a Creekside buyer.
A buyer using a federally backed mortgage must carry flood insurance on a structure in Zone AE, and every Creekside point we tested is Zone AE. Cash buyers usually insure anyway. The City of Bonita Springs’ CRS Class 5 rating gives a 25% discount on NFIP policies, and each foot above the base flood elevation cuts the premium by nearly half, per the City.
Lee County’s evacuation layer returns Zone A at Creekside, the first zone ordered to evacuate and often ordered for any named storm from the Gulf. Out-of-state buyers do ask. We answer with the county’s own Zone A fact sheet, the home’s elevation certificate and its wind mitigation report, which together show how the specific house is built for storm season.
Ian hit Bonita Bay in September 2022: the BBCA’s gulf-front Private Beach was destroyed and rebuilt, and the Club reported flooding and damaged course bridges, with some exception on Creekside. No Creekside-specific home damage record was found in a primary source. Disclose any water intrusion, claims and repairs, and have the City permits for those repairs ready.
Yes. Creekside homes were built from 1991 to 2002, and insurers price them heavily on roof shape, roof-to-wall connections, roof deck attachment and opening protection. A current wind mitigation report lets a buyer get real insurance quotes during the inspection period, which protects your contract from falling apart over an unexpected premium.
Roof age is one of the first questions a Creekside buyer’s insurer asks, because the homes are 24 to 35 years old on the county roll. A newer, permitted roof widens the buyer pool and supports a price near the top of the $1,650,000 to $2,545,000 band; an old roof usually becomes a credit or a price cut. Have the roof permit and any inspection report ready.
Yes. Creekside is inside the City of Bonita Springs, so roofs, windows, additions, pools and post-storm repairs are permitted by the City, not Lee County. Buyers and insurers check the permit history, and open or missing permits delay closings. We pull the history at listing and fix gaps before a buyer finds them.
Yes. Under §9.2 of the recorded master Declaration, no improvement may be built, altered, planted or removed without prior written BBCA approval, and unapproved work can be removed at the owner’s cost. Paint, landscaping, a new roof or new windows before listing all go through the BBCA Design Review Department first, then the City permit.
It depends on the gap between your home and the recent deeds. The six sales in the last 12 months ran from $1,800,000 to $2,250,000, and condition explains much of that spread. Targeted work buyers and insurers value (roof, impact windows, wind mitigation) usually pays; a full remodel rarely returns its cost before a sale. We run the numbers with you before you spend.
Yes, subject to the lease itself. The recorded master Declaration sets no minimum lease term and binds every tenant to the governing documents. Creekside has no MLS rental record in the last year, so most buyers expect to occupy the home; we read your lease at listing and plan showings, notice and the closing date around its terms.
Creekside sells year-round on the recent record: the six deeds in the last 12 months were recorded in December, January, April and June. A listing ready before the winter season, with photos, video and documents done, is in front of seasonal buyers while they are in town. The right price matters more than the month.
Many Creekside buyers decide from photos, drone video and documents before they visit, so we show the golf, lake, preserve and Spring Creek setting from the air, explain the association, Club and flood facts in the listing, and put the estoppel, elevation certificate and wind mitigation report in front of serious buyers early. Bonita Bay’s sign rules make that online reach essential.
Because we price from the record, not a guess. We tracked every qualified Creekside deed since 2021, measured the flood zone at Creekside addresses ourselves and read the recorded Bonita Bay documents, and we are the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a Creekside valuation built from the deeds.
Every Creekside fact on this page comes from a recorded plat or instrument, a county, city, state or federal record, the Bonita Bay Community Association or Bonita Bay Club’s own published pages, a named news report, or the Southwest Florida MLS figures pulled on September 30, 2026.
