Forest Glen

Updated September 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty

McGreevy and Comisar are the team Forest Glen owners call first when it is time to sell, and the team buyers call to get inside the gates right. We read the recorded documents before we price a home or write an offer here, and this guide is that reading, laid out in full with every source linked.

Forest Glen is a 630-acre gated, membership-inclusive golf community in East Naples, Florida. “Membership-inclusive” is the club’s own description of itself on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page, and the county roll backs it up: the homeowners’ master association holds title to the course and clubhouse. Forest Glen has exactly 799 homes, the maximum its county zoning allows, all built from 1999 to 2005 around the 18-hole Arthur Hills Signature course of Forest Glen Golf and Country Club. The community sits at the southeast corner of Collier Boulevard and Beck Boulevard in ZIP 34114, in unincorporated Collier County, about a mile from Interstate 75 Exit 101, according to the Collier County PUD record for Forest Glen of Naples and the clerk’s legal notice for the current PUD amendment.

About 630 acres is the club’s round figure. The county’s PUD ordinance describes the PUD as 635 acres, more or less, and the county’s GIS outline measures 629.8 acres; the ordinance figure includes a 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck and a fire station parcel that sit outside the gates. More than half the land, about 352 acres, is recorded native preserve, according to the Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025. Everything below is drawn from county, state and federal records and from the club’s own public pages, dated September 2026.

Forest Glen rewards an agent who knows its paperwork. A buyer here is buying into a master association that owns the golf course, a neighborhood or commons association, and in most cases a condominium association too, each with its own documents. A seller here is competing with owner listings the club posts on its own website for free. We built this guide from the recorded record so that both conversations start from facts, and you can see how we stack up against the other best real estate agents in Naples, compared on the public record.

Key Takeaways

Forest Glen is a member-owned golf community of 799 homes in East Naples where the club comes with the house, more than half the land is preserve, and the recorded sale median for 2025 to 2026 was $445,000. The eight points below are the facts that matter most to a buyer or seller, each linked to its public record.

Data updated: September 2026

• 799 homes in seven neighborhoods. Forest Glen has 658 condominium units in 13 condominiums and 141 platted lots (87 single-family homes and 54 Periwinkle villa lots), per the Florida DBPR condominium filings extract and the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes.
• Recorded sales median of $445,000. 45 recorded qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 ran from $245,000 to $990,000, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file.
• The club belongs to the owners. The master association owns about 578 acres outright in 17 parcels, including the course, clubhouse and all eight preserves, per the Collier County parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association.
• About 352 acres of recorded preserve. Eight preserve tracts hold more than half the community’s land, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025.
• A No. 2 course in Florida. GolfPass’s Golfers’ Choice 2023 list ranked Forest Glen No. 2 among 518 Florida courses, based on 69,738 reviews, per GolfPass, Golfers’ Choice 2023: Best golf courses in Florida.
• Dues are real but unpublished. Master and club dues are billed quarterly on one statement, and the 2016 outdoor dining project assessed every member $1,290, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility; current amounts appear on the estoppel certificate, not on any public page.
• Lowest single-family assessed median of five peers. Forest Glen’s 2026 preliminary single-family median assessed value of $665,268 is the lowest of five East Naples golf communities measured the same way, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.
• Evacuation Zone D and a mile to I-75. Collier County places Forest Glen in hurricane evacuation Zone D of six, and Interstate 75 Exit 101 is about 0.86 mile from the gate by the measured free-flow route from the Forest Glen gate.

Living in Forest Glen as a Homebuyer

Living in Forest Glen means living inside a gated, member-owned golf club: the course, clubhouse, courts, pool and preserve trail belong to the homeowners’ master association, and membership comes with the home. Days run on the club calendar in season and slow down in summer, while groceries, I-75 and a hospital all sit within about three miles of the Collier Boulevard gate.

Data updated: September 2026

What Does a Day Inside the Forest Glen Gate Look Like?

A Forest Glen day is organized around the clubhouse: golf in the morning, courts and cards in the afternoon, and dinner at the club or at Eagles Nest, with a 24-hour fitness center for everything in between. The rhythm changes with the season, and the club publishes both schedules.

In season the golf shop opens daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club leadership and staff directory. Tennis has organized play Tuesday to Saturday from 8 to 10 AM under a USPTA professional, per the Forest Glen 2024 to 2025 tennis program flyer, and the four lighted pickleball courts run daily open play, clinics and East Naples inter-league teams, per the Forest Glen pickleball program. Water aerobics meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 AM at the clubhouse pool; Mahjong plays Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 PM year round; Duplicate Bridge meets Mondays from November to April and Men’s Bridge on Tuesdays, per the club’s member clubs and activities page. League bocce claims the clay courts Sunday to Wednesday from 4 to 9 PM, per the Forest Glen bocce leagues page.

Evenings belong to the two dining venues. From October to April the Main Dining Room serves dinner Monday (Happy Hour Dining) and Friday (Club Dining) from 4 to 8 PM, and Eagles Nest, the outdoor venue between the 9th and 18th holes, serves lunch daily from 11 AM to 4 PM and dinner nightly from 5 to 8 PM, per the club’s staff directory and hours page and home page.

Summer is quieter by design. From May 1 to October 18 the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays; the Main Dining Room moves to Tuesday and Friday evenings from 5 PM, and Eagles Nest runs Tuesday to Sunday from 11 AM to 5 PM. The fitness center stays open 24 hours a day all year.

How Do You Get Into Forest Glen? The Two Gated Entrances

Forest Glen has two gated entrances: the main entrance on Collier Boulevard at Forest Glen Boulevard, and a rear gate on Beck Boulevard at Periwinkle Way. Both are drawn on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map.

The Collier Boulevard entrance is about half a mile south of the intersection of Collier Boulevard with Davis and Beck boulevards, per the Collier County road centerlines. The Beck Boulevard gate opens onto Periwinkle Way, the street of the 54 Periwinkle villas, which makes it the natural in-and-out for that neighborhood and a handy back door toward Davis Boulevard. The club does not publish gate staffing hours on its public pages, so a buyer who cares about overnight staffing should ask the master association directly.

Every one of the 799 homes is addressed on seven interior streets: Forest Glen Blvd, Loblolly Bay Dr, Bishopwood Ct E, Bishopwood Ct W, Jungle Plum Dr E, Jungle Plum Dr W and Periwinkle Way. No Forest Glen home has a Beck Boulevard address, so a listing addressed on Beck Boulevard is not a Forest Glen home.

Why Is the Club at the Center of Forest Glen Life?

The club is at the center because the owners own it: the golf course, clubhouse and maintenance site are titled to Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc., and the club counts all 799 residences as its membership base. That single fact shapes the fees, the governance and the daily routine.

The club’s own Real Estate page calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community,” and the Collier County parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association show about 578 acres in 17 parcels under the master association’s name. The club and the master association are the same body: the club’s General Manager is listed as an officer on the association’s state record, and both use 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, per Sunbiz, Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc..

The clubhouse was renovated and expanded in 2008, completed in October that year, and the redesigned Arthur Hills Signature course opened on December 1, 2008. For the club’s 25th anniversary in 2024, Ron Forse Design refined the layout and the greens were converted to TifEagle. The exact membership classes that attach to each home are set in the recorded declaration and club documents, which a buyer receives in the resale package. You can reach the clubhouse at (239) 348-1332 and the golf shop at (239) 354-1898.

799 Homes and Seven Neighborhoods at a Glance

Forest Glen’s 799 homes fall into seven neighborhoods: four condominium families (Barrington, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West and Britannia), the Periwinkle twin villas, and two single-family streets (Jungle Plum East and Jungle Plum West). Sizes run from 1,170 to 4,284 square feet of living area, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file.

The club’s categories correspond to the neighborhoods as shown, based on the club’s Real Estate page and site map. Unit counts come from the Florida DBPR condominium filings extract, which lists 13 Forest Glen condominiums totaling 658 units, and from the county roll for the 141 platted lots. The county roll codes the 54 villa lots as condominium, so county roll tables show 712 condominium-coded parcels and 87 single-family parcels; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots. Britannia’s nine buildings are four stories with elevators, and the Barrington and Bishopwood buildings are two stories, based on unit numbering and listing descriptions.

The Preserve and the 1.86-Mile Nature Trail

About 352 acres of Forest Glen, more than half the community, are recorded native preserve in eight tracts, and a paved nature trail runs through it. The club’s site map marks the trail in three legs of 0.89, 0.59 and 0.38 miles, 1.86 miles combined.

The largest single preserve tract is about 257 acres, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025 and the Collier County roll for the Forest Glen of Naples plat tracts. The trail legs come from the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map, which also shows the big preserve along the east side and lakes threaded through the course and neighborhoods. A 2009 resident column in the Naples Daily News described seven holes that wind through the preserves with no homes along them.

Two cautions come with the preserve. Wildlife is part of daily life: in July 2023 a man walking in the 3800 block of Forest Glen Boulevard was bitten by an alligator of nearly 7 feet and airlifted, per the Naples Daily News report on the alligator bite. And the eastern preserve borders large Rural Fringe conservation lands, so the community has a real wildland edge; during the Newman Road Fire of April 13 to 15, 2026, Forest Glen was included in evacuation alerts, and WGCU reported that evacuations were lifted for the Forest Glen community, per WGCU’s coverage of the Newman Road wildfire. No report found describes damage inside Forest Glen. For more preserve land beyond the gate, see our guide to Conservation Collier preserves.

Leasing and Pets in Forest Glen at a Glance

Leasing and pet rules in Forest Glen are set in the recorded master declaration and in each condominium and neighborhood declaration, and none of them are published on public pages. A buyer who plans to rent the home or bring a pet should read those documents before signing, not after.

What the public record does show: Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, not the City of Naples, so City of Naples rental ordinances do not govern it; the declarations do. Renting is an active part of the community. The club runs a Properties for Rent board and a Rentals Wanted board, and the Forest Glen Rentals Wanted board shows repeat seasonal renters seeking one to three month stays in February and March, often asking for golf-inclusive rentals. Renters get club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings on the club’s rental board state that the renter pays the club’s transfer fee; the club does not publish the amount.

Minimum lease terms, the number of leases a year, tenant approval, pet limits and vehicle or boat rules can differ from one condominium to the next. The master declaration was amended and restated in 2010 and amended again in 2017; ask for the current recorded rules of the specific building in the resale package, and budget time for any association approval before a tenant moves in.

Where Do You Drive for Groceries and Errands?

Most errands take less than five minutes from Forest Glen: the Walmart Supercenter at 9885 Collier Blvd is 0.6 mile and about a minute from the entrance area, and two Publix stores are under 3 miles away. All times below are free-flow routing from the gate, without traffic.

Publix at Naples Lakes Village Center (8585 Collier Blvd) is 2.6 miles and 5 minutes away, per the Publix Naples Lakes Village Center location page, and Publix Berkshire Commons on Radio Road is 2.9 miles and 5 minutes. Just outside the gate, the Collier and Davis interchange has everyday dining including a Cracker Barrel on Tollgate Boulevard, a 24-hour Waffle House and Chili’s, all within about a mile. The South Regional Library at 8065 Lely Cultural Parkway is 3.6 miles and 6 minutes away, per the Collier County Public Library South Regional Branch page. A second Collier County Costco is planned at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road, about 2.9 miles south; a March 2026 Marco Eagle report said it could open by fall 2026, but an opening was not confirmed when this page was researched.

How Far Is Forest Glen From Beaches, the Hospital and Airports?

Forest Glen is about 18 minutes from the beach at the Naples Pier, about 15 minutes from Fifth Avenue South, 5 to 7 minutes from the nearest hospital ER, 12 minutes from Naples Airport and 37 to 39 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport, all measured without traffic. In season (January to April), add time on Collier, Davis and US 41.

The beach at the Naples Pier is about 9.4 miles and 18 minutes away, per the City of Naples Naples Pier page. The pier itself is closed for a rebuild that began January 6, 2026 and is expected to take about 18 months; the beach stays open, per the City of Naples Pier Rebuild Project page. Downtown Naples at Fifth Avenue South is about 8 miles and 14 to 15 minutes. The club’s “15 minutes to the Gulf beaches and downtown” line holds for downtown; the pier beach measures about 18 minutes. Marco Island is about 15 miles straight down Collier Boulevard, roughly 27 to 28 minutes without traffic, and Tigertail Beach there is about 28 minutes. Collier County residents can get a free beach parking permit; our Naples beach parking guide covers how.

The nearest hospital and 24-hour ER is Physicians Regional’s Collier Boulevard hospital at 8300 Collier Blvd, about 3 miles and 5 to 7 minutes south; the operator describes it as a 130-bed acute care facility, per Physicians Regional Collier Boulevard. NCH Baker Hospital downtown is about 8.8 miles and 17 minutes away, per NCH locations in Naples. Naples Airport is 6.3 miles and 12 minutes, and Southwest Florida International Airport is about 31 miles and 37 to 39 minutes via I-75, per the measured route from the Forest Glen gate.

Why Does the I-75 Exit 101 Location Matter?

It matters because Forest Glen is one of the few East Naples golf communities with an interstate on-ramp about a mile from the gate: the southbound I-75 on-ramp at Exit 101 is 0.86 mile away and the northbound ramp 1.2 miles. That puts Fort Myers about 50 minutes away and Miami-Dade County Hall about 2 hours 15 minutes via Alligator Alley.

The trade-off is construction next door. FDOT’s $97 million rebuild of the I-75 and Collier Boulevard interchange began in early 2023 with estimated completion in late 2026, and it adds flyovers over Davis and Beck boulevards, per the FDOT fact sheet for the I-75 at SR 951 interchange. During construction FDOT permanently closed the SR 84 eastbound direct ramp to southbound SR 951, per FDOT project 425843-2. The same interchange work is why the county found a Collier Boulevard driveway for the commercial corner of the Forest Glen PUD “not feasible,” and a pending PUD amendment would remove it, per the Collier BCC agenda packet for September 22, 2026. The adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched.

Is Forest Glen Year-Round or Seasonal? What the Homestead Records Show

Forest Glen is a mix of year-round and part-time ownership, and the county roll quantifies the year-round side: 310 of the 799 homes (38.8%) carry a Florida homestead exemption on the 2026 preliminary roll. Homestead is available only on an owner’s permanent Florida residence, so it is the cleanest public marker of year-round ownership.

The split differs sharply by home type, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes: 60 of the 87 single-family homes (69.0%) carry homestead, against 250 of the 712 condominium-coded parcels (35.1%). By neighborhood, 46 of 69 Jungle Plum East homes and 14 of 18 Jungle Plum West homes are homesteaded, against 55 of 270 Britannia condominiums. A home without homestead may be a second home, a rental, or simply an owner who has not filed; the roll does not say which. The seasonal side shows up on the club’s own Rentals Wanted board, where renters seek February and March stays year after year. For a buyer, the practical point is taxes: a home you will make your permanent residence can be homesteaded, and one you will not cannot.

What Forest Glen Is Not

Forest Glen is not a waterfront or boating community, not a Community Development District, not part of the City of Naples, and not an age-restricted community on any public record reviewed. Knowing what it is not saves a buyer from comparing it to the wrong places.

Forest Glen has no marina, boat slips, private boat ramp or beach club; every master association parcel is inland east of Collier Boulevard. The nearest public boat ramp is the Collier Boulevard Boating Park at 3620 Collier Blvd, about 11.9 miles and 20 minutes straight down Collier Boulevard. No Community Development District covers Forest Glen, so there is no CDD bond assessment on tax bills, per the Collier County Community Development Districts layer. No age restriction appears in any public record reviewed; buyers should confirm in the recorded declaration.

Forest Glen is also not the “Forest Glen of Naples” some listing and data sites place in Golden Gate. Forest Glen of Naples is the recorded plat name of this community in East Naples, and figures attached to a Golden Gate label do not describe it. It is also unrelated to the Forest Glen communities in Lee, Palm Beach and Seminole counties, per the Sunbiz Forest Glen name list.

Which Schools Serve Forest Glen Addresses?

Every Forest Glen address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High for the 2026 to 2027 school year, with no exceptions across 895 address records on all seven streets. That is per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for 3904 Forest Glen Blvd.

Lely Elementary earned an A from the state in 2024, 2025 and 2026, and Manatee Middle earned an A in 2025 and 2026, per the Florida Department of Education 2025 to 2026 school grades. Forest Glen is zoned for Lely Elementary, not Manatee Elementary, and Beck Boulevard is a school-zone line: north-side Beck addresses go to Mike Davis Elementary and Golden Gate High instead. For private options across the county, see our Naples private schools guide.

What Should You Verify Before Buying in Forest Glen?

Verify five things for the specific home before you commit: the estoppel figures, the building’s flood zone, the association’s insurance, the leasing and pet rules, and, in Britannia, the structural reserve study. Each lives in a document the seller or association can produce.

First, the estoppel certificate is where a buyer sees the exact dues, assessments and any transfer or capital charge owed at closing for one Forest Glen home; Florida caps its fee at $299, plus $119 for expedited delivery, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule. Second, Forest Glen is a mix of FEMA Zone AH (a Special Flood Hazard Area of shallow ponding), shaded Zone X and unshaded Zone X, and Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area; the zone is building-specific on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. FEMA issued Letters of Map Amendment in 2012 and 2013 for many Barrington, Bishopwood and Jungle Plum East buildings, but FEMA’s current layer lists them as not carried onto the 2024 map, and a LOMA is address-specific; the lender decides the insurance requirement building by building. Third, ask for the condominium association’s current insurance declarations page, which shows whether the master policy includes flood and what the wind deductible is. Fourth, read the leasing and pet rules for that building. Fifth, in Britannia’s four-story buildings, all four associations appear in the state’s SIRS reporting database; read the study and reserve schedule in the resale package.

Ready to Sell or Buy in Forest Glen This Season?

The best time to plan a Forest Glen sale or purchase is before the February and March rush the club’s own Rentals Wanted board shows every year. Forest Glen recorded 45 qualified sales in 2025 and early 2026, and Britannia alone accounted for 15 of them.

What Is the Forest Glen Real Estate Market Doing in 2026?

The Forest Glen real estate market recorded 45 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 at a median of $445,000, from a $245,000 Britannia condominium to a $990,000 Jungle Plum East home, per the Florida Department of Revenue. Recorded prices ran above 2026 preliminary assessed values in every neighborhood, and the file’s latest sale month is April 2026.

Data updated: September 2026

Where Do These Forest Glen Numbers Come From?

Every figure in this section comes from two public records: the Florida Department of Revenue’s 2026 preliminary tax-roll file for recorded sale prices, and Collier County’s 2026 preliminary parcel roll for assessed values and estimated taxes. Neither is MLS data, and each table carries its label.

The sale figures are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), read from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file, available through the Florida Department of Revenue property tax data portal. A sale counts if it was recorded in 2025 or 2026, the state coded it as a qualified arm’s-length sale, and its price is above zero. The file keeps the two most recent sales on each parcel, and reading both slots adds one Jungle Plum East home that recorded two qualifying sales in the window. The file covers 798 of the 799 homes (one Britannia IV unit has no row in this release).

The assessed values are the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, read from the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll with a query covering all 799 Forest Glen homes. These are ASSESSED values (the county’s total just value), never sale prices. Medians with an even count use the mean of the middle pair; samples under 10 sales are flagged as small.

List prices, days on market, sale-to-list ratios, active inventory and price per square foot come from the Southwest Florida MLS and are shown in the next subsection under their own label. Rents are not shown on this page. Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS report on request at (239) 898-6072.

What the Southwest Florida MLS Shows: 32 Closings and 13 Homes for Sale

Forest Glen recorded 32 closed sales in the Southwest Florida MLS in the 12 months to 26 September 2026, at a median sold price of $394,000 and a total volume of $13,045,900. The median home sold after 47.5 days on market at 93.49% of its final list price, and 13 homes were listed for sale on 26 September 2026, about 4.9 months of supply at the current pace. Data updated: September 2026.

Barrington and the Periwinkle villas sold fastest and closest to list; Bishopwood East took a median 105 days, and Britannia, the most traded family, carries 6 of the 13 listings. No single-family Jungle Plum home closed through the MLS in the window, and one Jungle Plum East home is listed at $799,000. Every neighborhood is a small sample (Britannia is the only one above 10 closings), so one sale moves a median.

How the pull was made: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, Residential, Development Name = FOREST GLEN, closed 27 September 2025 to 26 September 2026 plus active, pulled 26 September 2026: 45 listings (32 closed, 13 active), all in the city of Naples. Sold-to-list uses the final list price. Price per square foot uses MLS living area, not the county’s base area, so it should not be compared with assessed figures. MLS closings count only listed sales; the 45 recorded sales in the state file below cover a different window and include private sales. Medians with an even count use the mean of the middle pair.

Recorded Qualified Sales 2025 to 2026: All Homes and by Segment

Forest Glen recorded 45 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 with a median of $445,000; single-family homes recorded a median of $835,000 on 5 sales, and condominium-coded homes a median of $417,250 on 40 sales. The table is labeled recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel).

Source: Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file; latest sale month April 2026. The county roll codes Periwinkle’s 54 villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units in 13 condominiums and 141 platted lots.

Forty of the 45 sales were condominium-coded homes, which tracks the housing stock: 712 of the 799 homes are coded that way. The single-family figure rests on five sales, all on Jungle Plum Drive East, so treat it as a snapshot rather than a trend.

Recorded Sales by Forest Glen Neighborhood

By neighborhood, recorded 2025 to 2026 medians run from $337,000 in Britannia to $835,000 in Jungle Plum East, with Jungle Plum West recording no qualified sale in the window. Every neighborhood sample except Britannia is under 10 sales, so read each as a small-sample marker.

Label: recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file. The seven neighborhood counts sum to the 45 community-wide sales.

The ordering is the one a local agent would expect from the floor plans. The coach homes of Barrington and Bishopwood West (1,869 to 2,193 square feet) and the Periwinkle villas cluster between $545,000 and $575,000; the garden homes of Bishopwood East (1,261 to 1,599 square feet) sit near $410,000; Britannia’s condominiums (1,170 to 1,567 square feet) anchor the entry point.

Single-Family Homes: Jungle Plum East and Jungle Plum West

Forest Glen’s 87 single-family homes recorded five qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, all in Jungle Plum East, at a median of $835,000 and a range of $760,000 to $990,000 (small sample). Jungle Plum West, the 18 estate homes, recorded none in the window.

Jungle Plum East holds 69 homes on Jungle Plum Dr E, built from 1999 to 2002 with 2,176 to 2,746 square feet of living area, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file. One Jungle Plum East home recorded two qualifying sales within the window, and the file keeps both; the $990,000 top of the range is one of them. On the 2026 preliminary roll, Jungle Plum East’s median assessed value is $657,833 (range $576,830 to $755,231).

Jungle Plum West is the top of the Forest Glen range: 18 estate homes built in 1999 and 2000 with 2,473 to 4,284 square feet on lots that run to about 0.47 acre, and a 2026 preliminary median assessed value of $988,045 (range $691,252 to $1,076,413), per the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes. With no recorded qualified sale in 2025 or early 2026 and 14 of 18 homes carrying homestead, Jungle Plum West changes hands rarely. A seller there is pricing without a recent same-street comparable, which is exactly where an MLS report and a careful read of Jungle Plum East sales matter most.

The Condominium Families: Britannia, Bishopwood East, Barrington and Bishopwood West

Forest Glen’s 13 condominiums recorded 35 of the 40 condominium-coded sales, from Britannia’s 15 sales at a $337,000 median to Bishopwood West’s 5 sales at $575,000. Below the family level the samples get very small, so single and paired sales are listed rather than turned into medians.

Label: recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file.

Britannia is the entry point to Forest Glen ownership and the most frequently traded neighborhood: 270 condominiums in nine four-story elevator buildings of 30 units, 1,170 to 1,567 square feet, recorded between 2000 and 2005 according to the Florida DBPR condominium filings extract. Bishopwood East’s 192 garden homes sit in sixteen two-story buildings of 12. Barrington (92 coach homes in 23 four-unit buildings on Forest Glen Blvd) and Bishopwood West (104 coach homes in 26 four-unit buildings) share the larger coach-home plans. Condominium owners pay three association layers (master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium), and Britannia’s buildings are the only ones in Forest Glen that fall under Florida’s milestone inspection and structural reserve study laws, based on unit numbering and building records.

Periwinkle Villas: Platted Lots the Roll Codes as Condominium

The 54 Periwinkle twin villas recorded five qualified sales at a median of $550,000 (small sample), with a range of $500,000 to $650,000, the top of the condominium-coded range. They are counted with condominium-coded homes only because the county roll codes them that way.

By legal form each villa sits on its own platted lot (Block 1, Lots 1 to 54 of the Forest Glen of Naples plat), about 0.15 acre, with 1,534 to 1,879 square feet of living area, built 1999 to 2002, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. Lennar Homes, Inc. is the recorded Declarant. Villa owners pay two association layers (the master association and the Periwinkle Villas neighborhood association), not three. On the 2026 preliminary roll their median assessed value is $443,048, and 25 of the 54 carry homestead.

The 2026 Preliminary Assessed Roll by Segment

On the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, the median assessed value of Forest Glen’s 799 homes is $345,335; single-family homes median $665,268 and condominium-coded homes $310,485. These are ASSESSED values, not prices.

Label: 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, from the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes. The county roll codes Periwinkle’s 54 villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots.

Together the 799 homes carry a combined 2026 preliminary assessed value of $303,038,952 and combined estimated ad valorem taxes of $2,517,510.99. The roll values condominium units by floor plan, so a neighborhood median lands on a plan value: Barrington’s two plans are valued at exactly $419,400 and $456,670, and the Barrington median is the mean of those two.

The 2026 Assessed Roll by Condominium and Platted Section

Section by section, the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll repeats the plan-value pattern: every Britannia condominium medians $266,500, Bishopwood East II and III median $310,485, and each Barrington condominium medians $438,035. Differences in median taxes within one plan value come from homestead and Save Our Homes status, not from the home.

Label: 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll (Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll); year built and living area from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file, where the Britannia IV living-area figures cover 59 of 60 units. Even-count medians use the mean of the middle pair. The county roll codes Periwinkle’s 54 villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots.

How Does Assessed Value Relate to Sale Price in Forest Glen?

In Forest Glen, recorded 2025 to 2026 sale prices ran well above 2026 preliminary assessed values in every neighborhood with sales; Britannia’s median recorded sale of $337,000 compares with its median assessed value of $266,500, for example. Assessed values trail market prices across Collier County, so never read an assessed value as an asking price.

Sources: recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file; 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

Two cautions keep this comparison honest. The sale median describes the few homes that sold, while the assessed median describes every home in the neighborhood, so the two groups are not identical. And the preliminary roll values condominiums by plan, so it cannot see a renovated kitchen, a golf view or a top-floor Britannia unit; the recorded sale does. Use the side-by-side to see the order of magnitude, then use sold comparables in the same building to price a specific home.

Estimated Taxes on the 2026 Preliminary Roll

The median estimated property tax on a Forest Glen home is $2,897.01 on the 2026 preliminary roll; single-family homes median $4,328.61 and condominium-coded homes $2,824.15. Those figures are a 2026 preliminary roll estimate at 10.4020 mills, not a tax bill.

The county’s 2026 preliminary roll computes estimated taxes at 10.4020 mills for Forest Glen (county 3.9293, school 4.1470, other districts 2.3257), reflecting preliminary 2026 school and district rates; final 2026 rates are set at the September hearings and appear on the November tax bill. Adopted 2025 millage for Forest Glen, millage code 39, was 10.5058 mills, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier millage codes and taxing authorities. The Greater Naples Fire Rescue District rate within that total rose to 2.0000 mills for 2025 from 1.5000 in 2024. A worked 2025 example: a Loblolly Bay Drive condominium without a homestead exemption owed $2,184.27, or $2,096.90 paid in November at the 4% early discount, per the Collier Tax Collector 2025 bill for a Loblolly Bay Dr condominium. Single-family bills also carry the county’s District 1 garbage charge ($261.91 on a 2025 Jungle Plum Drive bill), and no CDD assessment appears on Forest Glen bills.

Homestead and Save Our Homes in Forest Glen

Homestead changes a Forest Glen tax bill more than the home does: two Barrington units each assessed at $419,400 carry 2026 preliminary estimated taxes of $4,362.61 without a homestead exemption and $2,228.05 with homestead and the Save Our Homes cap. A buyer does not inherit a seller’s cap.

Across all 799 homes, Save Our Homes benefits total $38,885,123 of assessed value on the 2026 preliminary roll, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. That is value a long-held homestead is shielded from, and it resets when the home sells. For a non-homestead home, the 2025 Loblolly Bay Drive bill shows the other half of the rule: a non-school taxable value of $173,496 against a school taxable value of $258,590, the gap created by Florida’s 10% annual assessment cap on non-homestead property, which does not apply to school levies. The practical rule for a buyer: estimate your first full-year tax from your purchase price at current millage, not from the seller’s bill. The practical rule for a seller: your low tax bill is not a selling point you can pass on, so price on the home.

What the Five-Community Benchmark Says

Measured the same way on the 2026 preliminary roll, Forest Glen has the lowest median single-family assessed value ($665,268) and the lowest median single-family estimated tax ($4,328.61) of five East Naples golf communities. Its condominium-coded median ($310,485) sits mid-pack.

The comparison set is Forest Glen, Naples Lakes Country Club, Naples Heritage, Cedar Hammock and Eagle Creek, each pulled from the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll with the same filters. The others’ single-family medians run from $742,442 to $807,173 and their single-family tax medians from $5,787.58 to $7,021.05. On condominium-coded homes, Forest Glen’s $310,485 sits above Eagle Creek ($252,460) and below Naples Heritage ($332,800), Cedar Hammock ($335,978) and Naples Lakes ($462,920). Naples Heritage and Cedar Hammock, directly across Collier Boulevard, each also count 799 residential parcels. In the last 12 months we have built public-record benchmarks for five East Naples golf communities, and the full table appears in the comparison section of this guide. For the wider field, see our guide to Naples golf communities.

What Should Forest Glen Sellers Take From This?

Forest Glen sellers should price against recorded sales in their own neighborhood and floor plan, not the community-wide median, because the gap from Britannia ($337,000) to Jungle Plum East ($835,000) is wider than any market swing. The public file stops at April 2026, so a current price needs the MLS layer on top.

Three points stand out. First, buyers who study Forest Glen see the same public numbers you see here, including the assessed values, so a price well above your neighborhood’s recorded range needs a reason a buyer can verify: a renovation, a view, a preserve or golf frontage. Second, the sale-to-assessed gap is normal and not a sign of overpricing; every neighborhood with sales recorded above its assessed median. Third, your documents sell the home as much as the photographs do. Order the estoppel early, gather any LOMA or elevation certificate for your building, and in Britannia have the structural reserve study and budget ready. The club posts owner listings on its Properties for Sale and Rent boards free of charge, and those listings are part of the market you are competing with.

What Should Forest Glen Buyers Take From This?

Forest Glen buyers should read the market by neighborhood: Britannia is the entry point with the most sales, the coach homes and villas cluster between about $545,000 and $575,000 on small samples, and single-family homes are scarce, with five recorded sales and none in Jungle Plum West. Budget beyond the price for three association layers in a condominium, two for a villa or house.

Because Forest Glen dues are not published, the purchase price is only part of the monthly picture. Ask for the estoppel, the master and neighborhood budgets, and for a condominium the condominium budget and insurance declarations page before you finalize an offer. Check the building’s FEMA zone on the FEMA Map Service Center, since some Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia IV buildings are mapped Zone AH while much of the single-family area is Zone X. And plan your tax estimate on your own price: the seller’s Save Our Homes benefit does not transfer. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.

What Public Records Cannot Tell You About the Forest Glen Market

Public records cannot tell you what Forest Glen homes are listed for today, how long they take to sell, how close they sell to list, or what they rent for. Those figures live in the Southwest Florida MLS; the MLS subsection above shows the last 12 months of closings and today’s listings, and rents are not shown on this page.

The state file also stops at its latest recorded month, April 2026, so summer 2026 sales are not in it. It records price and date, not condition, view, furnishings or concessions. The county roll values condominiums by plan and cannot see upgrades. And neither record shows owner-to-owner sales arranged through the club’s own board until the deed is recorded. We do not publish estimated list prices, days on market or price per square foot from any other source, because none of those figures that circulate online cites a public record.

How Do You Get a Current Forest Glen MLS Report?

Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 and ask for a current Forest Glen MLS report; he will pull active, pending and closed sales for your neighborhood and floor plan from the Southwest Florida MLS. It is the layer that adds list prices, days on market and sale-to-list ratios to the public record above.

For sellers, the report is the starting point of a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home, priced against sold comparables in your own building or street and adjusted for the details the county roll cannot see. For buyers, Marc at (239) 287-5873 can pair the same report with the association documents and flood map for any home you are considering. Both reports are free, confidential and built from the same recorded sources linked throughout this guide, including the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file and the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

How Did Naples Golf Estates Become Forest Glen?

Forest Glen began as Naples Golf Estates, a 790-unit project zoned by Collier County in 1988. Ordinance 98-39 renamed it Forest Glen of Naples in 1998, and Ordinance 99-69 set today’s 799-home plan in 1999. The Ronto Group developed it with Westbrook Partners as capital partner, Lennar built homes, the club opened in 1999, and residents controlled the board by early 2005.

Data updated: September 2026

That paragraph is the short version. The longer version matters to anyone buying or selling here, because almost every rule a Forest Glen owner lives under today (the unit cap, the preserve, the club owned by the homeowners, the special assessment process) traces back to a specific recorded document from those years. Below, each step is tied to the county ordinance, state corporate filing, federal record or club notice that proves it. Where a record does not exist or could not be read, we say so.

Forest Glen at a glance: the dated timeline

Forest Glen’s history runs from a 1988 zoning approval to a 2024 course renovation, with no bankruptcy, foreclosure or successor developer anywhere in the record. The table lists every dated event we could tie to a primary source.

Where did the name Naples Golf Estates come from?

Naples Golf Estates was the name of the first zoning approval for this land, granted on October 25, 1988. According to the county’s Collier County Planning Commission staff report for July 17, 2025 and the Collier County zoning layer’s history note, Ordinance 88-83 (petition R-88-6) approved a project called Naples Golf Estates with 790 homes and 9.9 acres of commercial land.

The old name never fully disappeared. The Collier County PUD record for Forest Glen of Naples still carries “Naples Golf Estates” as the alias of the Forest Glen of Naples PUD, and the 2001 federal wildlife review of the project (covered below) was filed under that name. If you are searching old county or federal files for this land, search both names.

Two naming traps follow from this history. First, “Forest Glen of Naples” is the recorded plat name, and some listing and data sites file it under Golden Gate; figures attached to that label do not describe this community, which sits in East Naples off Collier Boulevard in ZIP 34114. Second, this Forest Glen has no connection to the Forest Glen communities in Lee, Palm Beach or Seminole counties or in other states; the Florida Division of Corporations Forest Glen name list shows how many unrelated entities share the words.

What was the land before the golf course?

Before development, the site was low, flat ground about half sandy upland and half cypress swamp, draining toward Henderson Creek. The PUD document reproduced in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026 records ground elevations of 8.8 to 11.0 feet above sea level, soils about 50% Keri fine sand and 48% cypress swamp soils, and drainage to Henderson Creek through the Collier Boulevard (County Road 951) canal.

The original PUD boundary description is a snapshot of how empty this corner of East Naples was: bordered on the west by CR 951, on the north by State Road 84 (Davis Boulevard), on the east by the Toll Plaza RV Resort PUD, and on the south by undeveloped agricultural land. Today Caymas occupies that southern land.

The club tells the pre-development story in its own words. The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page describes the site as “carved from a lush pine forest and former hunting preserve.” We found no deed, aerial or county record that confirms the hunting-preserve history, so we present it as the club’s description.

What did the 2001 federal panther consultation record?

In 2001 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service completed a Florida panther consultation for this project, still filed under the name Naples Golf Estates. A consultation table published in the National Park Service Tamiami Trail environmental assessment, Appendix H lists “Naples Golf Estates, Collier” with a biological opinion dated July 30, 2001, 439 acres of habitat impacts and 175 acres preserved on site.

Those federal figures measure habitat accounting under the Endangered Species Act, which is a different yardstick from the county’s native-vegetation preservation count. Today the county records about 352 acres of native vegetation under preservation in eight recorded preserve tracts (see the PUD section below), so the two numbers should not be compared or added. What the consultation shows for a buyer is that this land sat in panther habitat, and that the preserve bordering many Forest Glen homes exists because regulators required it.

When did Naples Golf Estates become Forest Glen of Naples?

The name changed on May 26, 1998, when the county adopted Ordinance 98-39. The Collier County Land Development Code Appendix F list of PUD ordinances records the chain: “Naples Golf Estates 88-83 Rpld.; 98-39 Rpld. (Now Forest Glen of Naples).”

Ordinance 98-39 repealed the 1988 zoning and created the Forest Glen of Naples PUD (petition PUD-88-6(1)), raising the unit cap from 790 to 799 and setting a 100,000 square foot limit on the commercial corner. In the resolved wording we use throughout this page: the 1988 zoning for the predecessor project, Naples Golf Estates, allowed 790 units; the 1998 and 1999 ordinances that created Forest Glen of Naples set the cap at 799, which is exactly what was built.

Why is Ordinance 99-69 the one that matters today?

Ordinance 99-69, adopted October 12, 1999, replaced Ordinance 98-39 and is the operative zoning for Forest Glen today. Every later change (a 2001 insubstantial change, Ordinance 2023-17 and the 2026 petition) amends 99-69 rather than replacing it, and the current text is reproduced in full as Exhibit A of the draft ordinance in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026.

The 1999 ordinance came as construction was starting. Its implementation schedule planned construction to begin in 1998, golf and infrastructure in 1998 and 1999, and marketing from 1998 through 2008. The county’s Collier County PUD record for Forest Glen of Naples lists the PUD as active under petition PUD-88-6(2) and Ordinance 99-69. The next section explains what that ordinance allows.

Who developed Forest Glen?

The Ronto Group, a Naples developer founded in 1967, developed Forest Glen through its company Ronto Golf Estates, Inc. The Florida Division of Corporations record for Ronto Golf Estates, Inc. shows it was incorporated June 2, 1997, and the PUD document names Ronto Golf Estates, Inc. as the owner for whom the plan was prepared.

The Ronto Group’s project list dates Forest Glen 1997 to 2005 and describes it as “an association club of 799 units” whose “Lots were developed and sold to Lennar Homes,” adding that “Sellout exceeded $40 Million.” The same entry describes residents’ access to the golf course and an 11,000 square foot clubhouse, which was the original building before the 2008 expansion. The Ronto Group’s about page confirms the 1967 founding.

A 2011 Business Observer profile of The Ronto Group reported that Ronto had completed 10,000 condominiums and 2,000 single-family homes over the years, “including Palmira in Bonita Springs and Forest Glen in Naples.” We name the company only; this page does not name developer principals or officers.

What role did Westbrook Partners play?

Westbrook Partners, a Dallas real estate investment firm, was Ronto’s capital partner in Forest Glen. In 1999 the project moved into Forest Glen Golf Community Limited Partnership, a Delaware partnership whose two general partners, per the Florida Division of Corporations Forest Glen Golf entity search, were Westbrook Forest Glen, L.L.C. and Ronto Golf Estates, Inc.

The Florida Division of Corporations record for Westbrook Forest Glen, L.L.C. shows a Dallas company managed by Westbrook real estate fund entities, registered in Florida in May 1999. The Business Observer profile cited above adds the context: “In the 1990s, as the firm’s reputation grew, institutional investors including Rockpoint, Westbrook Partners and Prudential became partners in many deals.” Forest Glen was one of them. In short, Ronto was the local developer and Westbrook supplied institutional capital.

Did Lennar build the homes in Forest Glen?

Yes, Lennar Homes built homes in Forest Glen, though the recorded proof covers only some neighborhoods. Lennar Homes, Inc. is the recorded Declarant for Periwinkle Villas, per the Periwinkle Villas declaration amendment naming Lennar Homes as Declarant, and the Developer on the 2002 Declaration of Condominium for Bishopwood West III by Lennar Homes, which created 36 units in four-unit buildings.

Ronto’s own project list says lots “were developed and sold to Lennar Homes,” and the club’s Real Estate page carries a profile of a local agent whose career began “in 2002, starting with Lennar Homes at Forest Glen,” which places Lennar’s sales operation on site that year. The resolved wording: The Ronto Group developed Forest Glen with Westbrook Partners as its capital partner, and Lennar Homes built homes here (it is the recorded declarant for Periwinkle Villas and the developer of Bishopwood West III). We do not assign a builder to any other neighborhood, because the declarant pages for those declarations were not read.

When was the Forest Glen master association formed?

The master association was incorporated on April 15, 1999, while the land was still under developer control. The 1999 Articles of Incorporation of the Forest Glen master association were filed from the developer’s office on Horseshoe Drive South in Naples, with a developer-appointed first board.

The articles set the pattern that still defines Forest Glen: a master association created to own, operate, maintain and preserve the common areas and to levy assessments, under a “Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Community” recorded at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955 in Collier County. The single-family and villa neighborhood associations followed that same year; the Jungle Plum East articles of incorporation, 1999 were filed August 19, 1999. Governance today is covered in its own section below.

When did the club and golf course open?

The club opened in 1999, on a golf course layout by Gordon Lewis. The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website says the club “opened in 1999, and the original course layout was by Gordon Lewis,” which fits the PUD’s schedule for golf construction in 1998 and 1999 and Ronto’s 1997 to 2005 project window.

The course has been reshaped twice since, in 2008 and 2024, so the 1999 routing is only the starting point of the layout members play now. Golf directories each tend to capture one stage of that history and credit a single architect; the club is the only first-party source and gives all three stages, which is the version we publish.

How fast was Forest Glen built out?

Forest Glen was built quickly: homes were completed from 1999 to 2005, and the community was essentially finished by 2006. Year-built data for all 799 homes in the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file for Collier County runs from 1999 to 2005.

County aerial building-footprint layers show the pace. The Collier County building footprints by year count 90 buildings inside the PUD in 2000, 169 in 2002, 246 in 2004 and 286 in 2006, essentially flat since. Footprints count buildings, not homes; a Britannia building holds 30 units.

Association filing years tell the same story neighborhood by neighborhood. The single-family and villa associations were filed in 1999, the first Bishopwood and Britannia phases in 2000, and Barrington and the later condominium phases from 2002 to 2004, with Britannia IV’s association the last, filed January 9, 2004, per the Florida Division of Corporations Britannia IV search. That order explains why Jungle Plum and Periwinkle homes date from 1999 to 2002 while Barrington and the last Britannia buildings date from 2003 to 2005.

When did residents take control of the master association?

Residents took control of the master association board by early 2005. The Forest Glen master association 2004 annual report, filed in April 2004, still listed developer officers at the Ronto office; the Forest Glen master association 2005 annual report, filed in March 2005, removed them, listed officers with Forest Glen home addresses, and moved the office to the clubhouse at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd.

The exact turnover meeting date is not in any public record we could read; it would appear in the association’s turnover minutes. The timing matters for buyers in one practical way: every capital decision since 2005 (the 2008 renovation, the 2010 restated declaration, the 2016 dining project, the 2024 course work) was made by a resident-controlled board, not by a developer spending its own money.

What happened to the developer after sellout?

The developer entities wound down in an orderly way once the homes were sold, and no bankruptcy, foreclosure or successor developer appears in the record. Per the Florida Division of Corporations Forest Glen Golf entity search, Ronto Golf Estates was administratively dissolved in 2007, the Ronto and Westbrook partnership was revoked in 2008, and Westbrook’s Florida company withdrew from the state in 2009.

Before that, the county closed out the infrastructure. On February 14, 2006 the county commission adopted Collier County Resolution 2006-022 on the Forest Glen of Naples plat, concerning final acceptance of the plat improvements recorded in Plat Book 31. A clean wind-down is worth noting: communities whose developers failed mid-build often inherit unfinished roads, disputed common property or a successor developer’s rules. Forest Glen has none of those in its record.

What was the 2008 reinvention of Forest Glen?

In 2008 Forest Glen renovated both its clubhouse and its golf course, finishing the clubhouse in October and reopening the redesigned course on December 1. The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page describes the redesigned course as the Arthur Hills Signature Golf Course, built to USGA standards with Sea Isle paspalum from tee to green.

The redesign was by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest, and the Ryan Golf golf renovation project list shows Ryan Golf built it, with Arthur Hills as architect, completed in 2008, in its $1.5 million to $5 million project range. A 2009 Naples Daily News neighborhood column on Forest Glen, written by a resident, reported that members voted to renovate the clubhouse and course. That vote came just a few years after turnover and is the first clear example of the homeowner-owned club reinvesting in itself.

Why was the Forest Glen declaration restated in 2010 and amended in 2017?

The master declaration was amended and restated on May 14, 2010, and amended again on July 5, 2017, to bring the original 1999 developer-era document up to date for a resident-run community. The recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community (aggregator copy of Collier Clerk Official Records) show the 2010 restatement at Official Records Book 4566, Page 2673 (75 pages) and the 2017 amendment at Book 5411, Page 1883.

The 2017 amendment sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to the Consumer Price Index from 2019, above which member approval rules apply. Before the restatement, a 2009 amendment to the articles (members’ meeting June 10, 2009), per the 2009 Certificate of Amendment of the Forest Glen master association, required two-thirds of the board and a member vote to amend the articles after turnover. The authoritative copies are in the Collier Clerk’s Official Records; the aggregator site is simply the easiest place to read the recording stamps.

What did the 2016 outdoor dining project cost members?

The 2016 outdoor dining project cost every member $1,290, billed as $215 a quarter for six quarters. According to the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility and member assessment, the board voted 6 to 1 on May 12, 2016 to approve a $949,376 outdoor dining facility plus an $80,000 contingency, with construction planned from May to fall 2017.

The notice said the assessment would appear “on the same statement you receive your quarterly dues,” which is also the clearest public proof that Forest Glen dues are billed quarterly. The casual outdoor venue that project created appears to be today’s Eagles Nest, which the club places between the 9th and 18th holes, steps from the clubhouse; the club has not stated the link outright. This is a dated, historical assessment and not a current charge. It is included because it shows how Forest Glen pays for capital projects: by assessing all members through the master association.

What did the 2024 Ron Forse renovation change?

For its 25th anniversary in 2024, the club brought in Ron Forse Design to refine the course, converting the greens to TifEagle. The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website says surrounds and approaches were converted to TifGrand, with Sea Isle Supreme paspalum kept elsewhere, and describes an updated practice facility with a large putting green, a short-game area and multiple hitting bays.

The resolved course history reads: the course opened in 1999 on a Gordon Lewis layout; Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest redesigned it and it reopened December 1, 2008, as an Arthur Hills Signature course built by Ryan Golf; for the 25th anniversary in 2024, Ron Forse Design refined the layout and the greens were converted to TifEagle. The club does not publish the 2024 project’s cost or how it was funded; that would be in the master association’s budget and board minutes, which members can request.

What part of the original plan is still unbuilt?

The only undeveloped part of the Forest Glen PUD is the 9.64-acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards (3864 Beck Blvd), outside the gates. The county’s staff report in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026 records that two private companies bought it in 2022, and the club’s August 2026 letter refers to it as Beck Business Park.

Every residential lot and condominium unit the PUD allows (all 799) is built. The commercial corner’s zoning has been amended twice since 1999 and is the subject of the pending 2026 petition, all covered in the PUD section that follows. For a Forest Glen owner, the practical point is that no new homes can be added inside the gates without a new rezoning, because the unit cap is used up.

What Does the Forest Glen PUD Allow?

The Forest Glen PUD, Collier County Ordinance 99-69, allows a maximum of 799 homes on 635 gross acres, a density of 1.26 units per acre, and all 799 are built. It also sets aside about 352 acres of recorded native preserve in eight tracts, an 18-hole golf course, and a 9.6-acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards, which a petition heard September 22, 2026 would open to indoor recreation.

Data updated: September 2026

A planned unit development (PUD) is Collier County’s custom zoning for a master-planned community: instead of standard zoning districts, one ordinance sets the uses, densities, heights, buffers and commitments for the whole site. For Forest Glen that ordinance is 99-69, as amended. Its full current text is reproduced as Exhibit A of the draft ordinance in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026, which is the best single public copy of the rules summarized here.

What is Ordinance 99-69 in plain English?

Ordinance 99-69 is the zoning rulebook for the land Forest Glen sits on: it caps the homes at 799, reserves most of the land for golf, lakes and preserve, and fixes what can be built on the commercial corner. Adopted October 12, 1999, it replaced Ordinance 98-39, per the Collier County Land Development Code Appendix F list of PUD ordinances.

The PUD covers Section 2, Township 50 South, Range 26 East, described legally as all of Section 2 less right-of-way, per the Clerk legal notice for the Forest Glen of Naples PUD amendment hearing. It is the county’s rulebook, not the homeowners’: the recorded declarations (covered under governance) layer private rules on top, and they can be stricter than the zoning but cannot permit what the zoning forbids. Because Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, City of Naples ordinances do not apply here; the county’s parcel data carries no municipal millage on any Forest Glen parcel.

How big is Forest Glen: 635, 629.8 or 630 acres?

Forest Glen covers about 630 acres. The county’s PUD ordinance describes the PUD as 635 acres, more or less, and the county’s GIS outline of the PUD measures 629.8 acres; the ordinance figure includes a 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards and a fire station parcel that are not part of the gated community.

The three numbers come from different measurements, not from a disagreement. The 635 figure is the legal description in the ordinance and every county hearing notice. The 629.8 figure is the mapped polygon in the Collier County PUD GIS layer. The 630 figure is the rounding the club uses on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. Within those acres, the master association alone owns about 578 acres of the community outright: the course, clubhouse, preserves and roads. The rest is the homes, the neighborhood association tracts, the commercial corner and Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 at 3820 Beck Blvd, on the community’s northern edge.

How many homes does the Forest Glen PUD allow?

The PUD allows a maximum of 799 dwelling units, and Forest Glen has exactly 799 homes. The PUD text in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026 sets 799 units on 635 gross acres, a density of 1.26 units per gross acre, and notes that the underlying Urban Residential Fringe land-use designation would have allowed 1.5 units per acre, or 938 units.

The applicant’s 2024 narrative in the same packet states that the PUD “has been developed with 799 dwelling units,” and the count reconciles exactly on the 2026 Collier County tax roll: 658 condominium units in 13 condominiums and 141 fee-simple platted lots (87 single-family homes and 54 Periwinkle villa lots). The Collier 2026 preliminary roll query for all 799 Forest Glen homes returns 799 residential parcels (the roll codes the 54 villa lots as condominium, so it shows 712 condominium-coded parcels and 87 single-family parcels). Forest Glen used roughly 85% of the density the land-use plan would have allowed, which is part of why so much of it is open space.

What does the Forest Glen land-use table say?

The PUD’s land-use table divides the 635 acres into about 170 acres of residential land, 70 acres of golf course, 385 acres of open space and 10 acres of commercial. Here is Table I as it appears in the PUD text in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026:

Read the golf and open-space lines as zoning categories, not surveys. The recorded golf tracts on the plat total far more than 70 acres because they include lakes, and the South Florida Water Management District counts 127 irrigated golf acres. The open-space line bundles lakes, buffers and preserve, so it should not be added to the preserve figure below. The practical takeaway: homes occupy only about a quarter of Forest Glen’s land.

What housing types and building heights does the PUD permit?

The PUD permits single-family detached homes, patio and zero-lot-line homes, townhouses, two-family homes, multifamily buildings and a fire station, with a 35-foot height limit for houses and attached homes and 50 feet for multifamily. Those standards appear in the PUD text in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026.

Any building taller than 35 feet must sit at least 100 feet from the PUD perimeter, which is why the tallest buildings in Forest Glen, the nine four-story Britannia condominium buildings on Loblolly Bay Drive, are interior to the community rather than on Collier or Beck boulevards. Golf and open-space structures, including the clubhouse, are limited to two stories or 30 feet, with clubhouse parking at three spaces per 1,000 square feet. What was actually built uses most of the permitted menu: single-family homes on Jungle Plum Drive East and West, twin villas on Periwinkle Way, two-story coach and garden-home condominiums in Barrington and Bishopwood, and the four-story Britannia buildings. With the unit cap reached, these standards now govern mainly rebuilding after a casualty.

How much of Forest Glen is preserve?

About 352 acres of native vegetation are under preservation in eight recorded preserve tracts, more than half the community. The county’s Collier County Planning Commission staff report for July 17, 2025 records “a minimum of 351.71 acres of native vegetation” under preservation, recorded on the plat.

The eight tracts, P-1 through P-8, appear on the Collier 2026 preliminary roll query of the Forest Glen of Naples plat tracts, all titled to the master association, and sum to the same 352 acres. The largest single tract is about 257 acres. The PUD itself required that at least 25% of viable native vegetation be preserved; Forest Glen’s recorded preserve is far larger than that minimum.

The preserve is a defining feature and a responsibility. To the east it borders Rural Fringe Mixed Use District “Sending” lands, shown on the Collier County Rural Fringe Mixed Use District layer, which are designated for low-intensity, conservation-oriented use, so the view east is unlikely to become houses. The same edge gives Forest Glen a real wildland boundary, and the master association carries the cost of maintaining the preserves.

Who owns the common land in Forest Glen?

The master association owns the common land: about 578 acres outright in 17 parcels, including the golf course, clubhouse, maintenance site, road tract and all eight preserves. The Collier County parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association query lists every one titled to Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc.

Four neighborhood associations also own smaller tracts: Barrington Commons Association (2.81 acres at 3929 Forest Glen Blvd), Bishopwood West Commons Association (1.92 acres at 3917 Loblolly Bay Dr), the Bishopwood East neighborhood association (4.07 acres) and the Britannia neighborhood association (three tracts totaling about 13 acres), with small tracts for Periwinkle Villas and Jungle Plum West. The streets are private and belong to the master association, not the county; the road tract is the master association’s parcel at the Forest Glen Boulevard entrance. For owners that means road resurfacing, gates and preserve care are association costs, paid through dues and, when needed, special assessments.

What is on the Forest Glen recorded plat?

The subdivision plat, Forest Glen of Naples, is recorded in Plat Book 31 beginning at Page 94 (county records cite Pages 94 through 103). The Collier County Planning Commission staff report for July 17, 2025 cites the plat for the preserve, and Collier County Resolution 2006-022 on the Forest Glen of Naples plat concerns final acceptance of its improvements on February 14, 2006.

The plat divides the community into three residential blocks (Block 1, Periwinkle Villas; Block 2, Jungle Plum West; Block 3, Jungle Plum East), condominium tracts, golf tracts, a clubhouse tract, a maintenance tract, a road tract and eight preserve tracts. The condominiums were then created on their tracts by separate declarations of condominium recorded from 2000 to 2005. Title companies and surveyors work from this plat, so any Forest Glen legal description for a single-family home or villa will read as a lot and block of Forest Glen of Naples.

How do the two Forest Glen entrances work?

Forest Glen has two gated entrances: the main entrance on Collier Boulevard at Forest Glen Boulevard, and a rear gate on Beck Boulevard at Periwinkle Way. The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map shows both, and the Collier County road centerlines layer confirms these are the only two roads crossing the PUD boundary.

The Collier Boulevard entrance sits about half a mile south of the Collier and Davis/Beck intersection. That location was set by the PUD’s transportation commitments, which called for turn lanes and “a median opening at approximately one-half mile south of the intersection of C.R. 951 and S.R. 84,” turn lanes on CR 951 and SR 84, and a drainage easement along CR 951 for its six-laning, which the county records as satisfied. All 799 homes are addressed on seven interior streets (Forest Glen Blvd, Loblolly Bay Dr, Bishopwood Ct E and W, Jungle Plum Dr E and W, Periwinkle Way). A listing addressed on Beck Boulevard is not a Forest Glen home. The club does not publish gate staffing hours.

How is water managed and the course irrigated?

Stormwater in Forest Glen was designed to flow into the preserve wetlands, and the golf course is irrigated with reclaimed water. The PUD’s water-management intent, stated in the text in the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026, was to send project runoff to wetland areas “to help restore historic water retention and preserve areas.”

For irrigation, the South Florida Water Management District Lower West Coast water supply plan appendix listed Forest Glen with 127 irrigated golf acres on reclaimed water under Water Use Permit 11-01176-W (2010). We publish no single “golf course acreage” figure because the ordinance, the plat and the water district each measure it differently. The lakes that run through the course and neighborhoods are part of that stormwater system, and the lake banks and outfalls are common-area maintenance items in the master budget.

Does Forest Glen have a CDD?

No. No Community Development District covers Forest Glen, so there is no CDD bond assessment on Forest Glen tax bills. The Collier County Community Development Districts layer returns only Caymas, the neighbor to the south, around Forest Glen’s footprint, and 2025 tax bills for a Forest Glen condominium and a single-family home carry no CDD line.

That distinguishes Forest Glen from many newer East Naples communities, where a CDD finances roads and utilities with bonds repaid through a separate annual assessment on the tax bill. In Forest Glen the infrastructure was built by the developer and then maintained by the associations, so those costs sit inside association budgets rather than on the county bill. The tax section below lists every line that does appear.

What is the commercial corner at Collier and Beck?

The commercial corner is a 9.6-acre tract at the southeast corner of Collier and Beck boulevards (3864 Beck Blvd), inside the PUD but outside the gates, capped at 100,000 square feet of building. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for September 22, 2026 records that it remains the only undeveloped part of the PUD and was bought in 2022 by two private companies.

The PUD protects the homes behind it. The tract’s standards include a 55-foot native vegetation preserve and buffer on its south line facing the community, a 75-foot south setback, a height limit of 30 feet 8 inches, no outdoor storage, and a cap of 389 afternoon peak-hour trips. The earlier 9.9-acre commercial allowance of the 1988 plan survives here in reduced, buffered form. For Forest Glen owners near the north end, the buffer and setback are the rules to know if the corner is built.

What did the 2001 and 2023 amendments change?

Two amendments since 1999 have changed only the commercial corner: a 2001 insubstantial change restoring its access, and Ordinance 2023-17 adding warehousing and flex space under the same 100,000 square foot cap. The Collier County zoning layer’s history note lists both.

The 2001 change was approved as CCPC Resolution 01-21 (petition PDI-2001-AR-949) on September 7, 2001, reinstating access to the commercial tract from Beck and Collier boulevards. Ordinance 2023-17, adopted April 11, 2023 under petition PL20200002302 per the Clerk legal notice for the 2023 Forest Glen PUD amendment, renamed the district commercial and industrial and added warehousing and flex space (specialty trade contracting, minor fabrication and manufacturing) without raising the cap. Neither amendment touched the residential unit count, the golf course or the preserve.

What is the pending 2026 amendment for indoor recreation?

A petition to amend the PUD (PL20240010278) was scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2026. It would allow up to 36,720 square feet of indoor-only membership sports and recreation club space (for example indoor pickleball) within the existing 100,000 square foot cap on the 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards, and remove that tract’s Collier Boulevard access.

The Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously on July 17, 2025. After a second neighborhood meeting on August 4, 2026, announced in the Collier County notice of the Forest Glen of Naples PUDA neighborhood information meeting, the frontage-drive connection was dropped; the tract would reach Beck Boulevard by a direct north-south connection only. Gun and shooting clubs are excluded. The county staff report explains the Collier Boulevard access removal: it is “not feasible given the major interchange improvement project underway by the FDOT.” The club’s management submitted a letter supporting the amendment dated August 7, 2026.

The adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched; the Collier County commission meeting record for September 22, 2026 showed no motion or minutes yet. We will update this section with the vote and ordinance number once the minutes post.

What does the Forest Glen PUD mean for a buyer or seller?

For a buyer, the PUD means Forest Glen is finished: no more homes can be added, more than half the land is recorded preserve, and the only change on the horizon is a buffered commercial corner outside the gates. For a seller, those same facts are selling points worth stating plainly in a listing, backed by the Collier County Planning Commission staff report for July 17, 2025.

Three PUD facts belong in every Forest Glen buyer’s file. The 799-unit cap is fully used, so density inside the gates cannot rise without a new rezoning. The preserve is recorded on the plat and owned by the master association, which protects views but also creates an upkeep cost and a wildland edge. And there is no CDD. Readers comparing Forest Glen with neighbors such as Cedar Hammock or Naples Lakes Country Club will find the same PUD structure but different preserve shares; our Naples golf communities guide covers the wider field.

Who Governs Forest Glen?

Forest Glen is governed by Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc., a resident-run Florida not-for-profit that owns the golf course, clubhouse, preserves and roads and also runs the club. Beneath it sit 20 more associations: 13 condominium associations and 7 neighborhood or commons associations, so every Forest Glen owner answers to two or three boards.

Data updated: September 2026

That structure is the single most important thing to understand before buying here, and the most common thing sellers are asked to explain. Each association has its own recorded documents, its own budget and its own board, and the rules a buyer lives under (leasing, pets, vehicles, assessments) come from the combination of them. Below, each layer is tied to the state corporate record, recorded declaration or statute that proves it. Where a document is not public, we say so and tell you how to get it.

What is the Forest Glen master association?

The master association is Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed April 15, 1999 and active today. The Florida Division of Corporations record for the Forest Glen master association carries it as document N99000002346, with its principal office at the clubhouse, 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, since March 2005, and its 2026 annual report filed February 20, 2026.

Its job is set out in the 1999 Articles of Incorporation of the Forest Glen master association: to provide for the ownership, operation, maintenance and preservation of the common areas and to levy assessments to pay for them. The same articles give the board the power to establish reserves for deferred maintenance and capital expenditures, and to contract for telecommunications, maintenance, garbage pickup and utility services on behalf of owners. In practice the master association is the landlord of everything outside the homes: on the county roll it holds title to about 578 acres in 17 parcels, including the course, the clubhouse, the maintenance site, the road tract and all eight preserve tracts, per the Collier County parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association.

Two practical consequences follow. The private streets and the gates are association property, so their upkeep is paid through dues rather than county taxes. And because the master association is not in the federal exempt-organization index, it files no public Form 990; its budget and financial statements are available to members under Florida law, not on public web pages.

What declaration governs Forest Glen, and how has it changed?

The governing covenant is the “Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Community,” originally recorded at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955 in Collier County. The 2009 Certificate of Amendment of the Forest Glen master association cites that recording, and the 1999 articles say the declaration “shall govern all of the operations” of the community.

The declaration has been rewritten once and amended since. Per the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community (aggregator copy of Collier Clerk Official Records), it was amended and restated on May 14, 2010 (Official Records Book 4566, Page 2673, 75 pages) and amended again on July 5, 2017 (Book 5411, Page 1883). The 2017 amendment is the one buyers should know by number: it sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to the Consumer Price Index from 2019, above which member approval rules apply. The fee section below explains what that means for your budget.

The articles have their own amendment history. The 2009 amendment, adopted at a members’ meeting on June 10, 2009, requires two-thirds of the board and a member vote to amend the articles after turnover. The aggregator is simply the easiest place to read the recording stamps; the authoritative copies are in the Collier Clerk’s Official Records, and a title company will pull them for any closing.

Who sits on the Forest Glen master board?

The master board has between three and nine directors, always an odd number, and every current seat is held by a Forest Glen owner. The 1999 articles set the three-to-nine range, and the 2026 annual report of the Forest Glen master association lists seven officer and director seats, all with Forest Glen home addresses, plus the club’s General Manager as an officer.

Residents have controlled this board since early 2005, when the annual report stopped listing developer officers and moved the office to the clubhouse (the history section above traces the turnover). That matters for one reason: every capital decision in the last two decades, from the 2008 course and clubhouse renovation to the 2016 outdoor dining project and the 2024 greens conversion, was made and paid for by owners voting on their own money. This page does not name directors or officers; the state record is public for anyone who wants to look them up.

Are the club and the master association the same thing?

Yes. Forest Glen Golf and Country Club is run by the master association, not by a separate club company, and membership comes with the home. The club’s General Manager, who holds the CCM, CCE and CAM credentials according to the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club leadership and staff directory, is listed as an officer of the master association on its state record, and both use 3855 Forest Glen Blvd.

The club describes Forest Glen as “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page, and the county roll shows the course and clubhouse titled to the homeowners’ master association. The resolved wording we use: membership is bundled with ownership (the club’s own statement, backed by the 2016 all-member assessment); the exact membership classes are set in the recorded declaration and club documents, which this page does not reproduce.

The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website states the club’s mission as “to be a financially sound common interest country club community,” and lists among its goals “selective profitable nonmember events that do not inconvenience the members.” We do not call Forest Glen an “equity club,” because no refundable equity certificate appears in any document we read. The accurate description is a homeowner-owned club: the owners, through the master association, own the course and the clubhouse outright.

How many associations govern Forest Glen?

Twenty-one active Florida not-for-profit associations govern Forest Glen: the master association, 13 condominium associations and 7 neighborhood or commons associations (Barrington Commons, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West Commons, Britannia, Jungle Plum East, Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas). The condominium count and unit totals come from the Florida DBPR condominium filings extract, which lists 13 Forest Glen condominium projects totaling 658 units, all recorded from 2000 to 2005.

Each association is its own corporation on the state record. You can see each group in the Florida Division of Corporations name searches for the Bishopwood associations, the Britannia of Forest Glen associations, Barrington Commons Association, the Barrington of Forest Glen condominium associations, the Jungle Plum East and West associations and the Periwinkle Villas association. Here is how they stack by neighborhood:

One naming trap: the state record also holds several other associations with “Forest Glen” in their names that belong to unrelated communities elsewhere in Florida. None of them governs this Forest Glen. The 21 above are the only associations tied to these streets.

What are the three tiers of Forest Glen governance?

Condominium owners in Forest Glen sit under three associations; single-family and villa owners sit under two. A Britannia owner, for example, belongs to the master association, to the Britannia of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association and to the condominium association for that owner’s building (Britannia I, II, III or IV). A Jungle Plum East owner belongs to the master association and the Jungle Plum East neighborhood association only.

Each tier does a different job, based on what each owns and on its legal form. The master association runs the club and the community-wide common areas. The neighborhood or commons association owns and maintains that neighborhood’s own tracts: Barrington Commons Association holds a 2.81 acre tract at 3929 Forest Glen Blvd, Bishopwood West Commons Association a 1.92 acre tract at 3917 Loblolly Bay Dr, the Bishopwood East neighborhood association a 4.07 acre tract, and the Britannia neighborhood association three tracts totaling about 13 acres, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. The condominium association maintains and insures the building itself. An owner listing hosted by the club mentions a neighborhood pool “across the driveway” from a Britannia building, so some neighborhoods appear to have their own pools; confirm for a specific building in its association documents.

For a buyer, three tiers means three sets of documents, three budgets and, typically, three estoppel certificates at a condominium closing. For a seller, it means the resale package takes longer to assemble than in a single-association community, so order it early.

What is the difference between Chapter 718 and Chapter 720 in Forest Glen?

Based on their legal form, Forest Glen’s 13 condominium associations operate under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes (the Condominium Act), and the master, neighborhood and commons associations operate under Chapter 720 (the homeowners’ association law). The difference is practical, not academic: the two chapters set different rules for insurance, reserves and building safety.

Under Chapter 718, every Florida condominium association must carry adequate property insurance on its buildings, with replacement cost determined at least every three years, per Florida Statutes 718.111 on condominium insurance. Condominiums also carry the state’s reserve rules and, for buildings of three habitable stories or more, the structural reserve study requirement in Florida Senate Statute 718.112 (2025). Chapter 720 associations own and maintain common land rather than buildings, so the building-insurance and structural-study duties do not reach them.

What this means on the ground: a Periwinkle villa or Jungle Plum home is insured by its owner, while a Barrington, Bishopwood or Britannia building is insured by its condominium association and paid for through that association’s budget. Ask for the association’s current insurance declarations page before you commit; it shows whether the master policy includes flood coverage and what the wind deductible is.

Which Forest Glen buildings fall under Florida’s condominium safety laws?

Only Britannia’s nine four-story buildings do. Florida’s milestone inspections apply to condominium buildings three habitable stories or more, due by December 31 of the year a building turns 30 (counted from its certificate of occupancy) and every 10 years after, under Florida Statutes 553.899 on milestone inspections. Structural Integrity Reserve Studies apply to the same class of building at least every 10 years, and associations that existed on July 1, 2022 had to complete their first study by December 31, 2025.

All four Britannia condominium associations appear in the state’s Florida DBPR SIRS reporting database, meaning each has reported a completed study. Britannia’s first milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s, 30 years after each building’s certificate of occupancy; we do not publish a year per building, because the year a building was finished is not the same as its certificate date. The two-story Barrington and Bishopwood buildings and the single-family and villa homes fall outside both laws, and the two-story condominiums remain under Florida’s general reserve rules. The state’s Florida DBPR milestone inspection and SIRS page publishes the rules and filing portals. A Britannia buyer should read the study and its reserve schedule in the resale package, because reserve funding under a SIRS can raise a condominium budget.

Who manages the Forest Glen associations?

The master association appears to be self-managed by club staff, while the neighborhood and condominium associations use outside management companies. No outside management company is listed for the master association on its state record, and its General Manager holds a community association manager credential.

The state records name three firms for the sub-associations. Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs manages every Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia entity (the four umbrella associations and all 13 condominiums), according to the Division of Corporations searches for the Bishopwood associations and their Britannia and Barrington counterparts. Complete Property Management of SW Florida manages Jungle Plum East, and Tropical Isles Management of Fort Myers manages Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas, per the Jungle Plum East and West association records and the Periwinkle Villas association record.

For a closing, this means estoppel requests for a condominium typically go to two places: the club office for the master association and Cambridge for the neighborhood and condominium layers. Management assignments change, so confirm the current manager with the seller before ordering.

Are all the Forest Glen associations in good standing?

Yes, all 21 are active today, though several have had filing lapses corrected in the past. The state record shows reinstatements or reversed administrative dissolutions for Barrington I and II, Britannia III, and the Britannia and Bishopwood East neighborhood associations, per the Florida Division of Corporations Barrington I search and the Britannia of Forest Glen association search.

A reinstatement usually follows a missed annual report and is a paperwork event, not a sign of financial trouble. It is still worth a buyer’s attorney confirming that the association selling the estoppel is active on the day of closing. One quirk to know: Britannia III’s legal name is filed on the state record as “Britannia III of Forest Glen Comdominium Association, Inc.,” with the misspelling, so search for it as filed.

How can owners and buyers see Forest Glen’s records?

Members can inspect association records under Florida law, but almost nothing is posted publicly: no sub-association has a public website, and the master association files no Form 990. The club’s site at forestglengcc.com is the community’s only official web presence, and its golf pages sit behind a member login, per the Forest Glen golf page.

That leaves four public doors and one private one. The public doors are the Florida Division of Corporations (articles, amendments and annual reports for all 21 associations), the Florida DBPR condominium public records (condominium filings and structural study reports), the Collier Clerk’s Official Records (every recorded declaration and amendment) and the county roll (which association owns which tract). The private door is the resale package: the seller and the associations provide the budgets, rules, insurance declarations, minutes and estoppel certificates a buyer needs. If you are buying, ask for all of it before your inspection period ends.

What rules govern leasing, pets and vehicles in Forest Glen?

Lease, pet, vehicle and boat rules are set in the recorded master declaration and in each condominium and neighborhood declaration, and none are published on public pages. The rules can differ building by building, so the only reliable answer for a specific home is the documents for that home.

What the public record does show is how renting works at the club. The club runs public Properties for Rent and Rentals Wanted boards, and the Rentals Wanted board shows repeat seasonal renters seeking one- to three-month February and March stays. Renters obtain club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings on the club’s rental board, such as the owner rental listing at 3940 Loblolly Bay Drive, state that the renter pays the club’s transfer fee. Whether a given building allows a one-month lease, how many leases a year it permits and whether tenants need approval are set in that building’s declaration. Individual owner listings sometimes state their own no-pet or no-smoking terms; those are the owner’s rules, not proof of an association rule.

Because Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, the City of Naples’ own rental rules do not apply here; the county’s parcel data carries no municipal millage on any Forest Glen parcel. The practical checklist for a buyer who plans to rent or bring a pet: read the leasing and pet articles of the master declaration, the neighborhood declaration and, for a condominium, the declaration of condominium and its rules.

Is Forest Glen a 55+ community?

No age restriction appears in any public record we reviewed; confirm in the recorded declaration. Neither the club’s pages nor the master association’s articles describe Forest Glen as age restricted, and we found no registration or document establishing housing-for-older-persons status.

Forest Glen’s product mix and rules are described on this page by the homes, the documents and the amenities, not by who lives here. If age status matters to your plans, the recorded declaration and its amendments are the documents that would say so, and your closing attorney can confirm it during the title review.

What Does It Cost to Own in Forest Glen? The Fee Stack

Owning in Forest Glen costs quarterly master association and club dues, a neighborhood or commons association fee, a condominium fee for condominium owners, occasional special assessments, and a county tax bill at 10.5058 mills for 2025. Forest Glen’s current dues are not published on any first-party page; the estoppel certificate for a specific home is where the real figures appear.

Data updated: September 2026

We will not print a dues figure we cannot source, and neither should anyone else. The figures that circulate on agent and aggregator sites cite no budget or association document and disagree with each other, so this page does not repeat them. What we can do is lay out every layer a Forest Glen owner pays, who bills it, how often, what it pays for, and which document shows the number for the home you are considering.

What are all the costs of owning a Forest Glen home?

A Forest Glen owner pays up to three association layers plus the county tax bill, and a few one-time or occasional charges. The table lists every billed layer we could document, with the published amount where one exists and the document that proves it.

Read the table as a map, not a price list. Every “not published” line has a document behind it that states the number for a specific home; the sections below name it.

Layer 1: What do Forest Glen master association and club dues pay for?

Master association and club dues are billed quarterly on a single statement, and they pay for the club and the community-wide common areas. The clearest public proof of the billing period is the club’s own 2016 notice, which told members an assessment would appear “on the same statement you receive your quarterly dues,” per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility and member assessment.

What the dues fund follows from what the master association owns and does. Its 1999 Articles of Incorporation charge it with owning, operating, maintaining and preserving the common areas, and the county roll shows those areas: about 578 acres including the 18-hole course, the clubhouse, the maintenance site, the private road tract and roughly 352 acres of recorded preserve. The same articles let it establish reserves and contract for services such as telecommunications and garbage pickup on owners’ behalf.

The current dollar amount is not published on any first-party page, and the club’s golf pages sit behind a member login. The number lives in the master association’s adopted annual budget and on the estoppel certificate for a specific home. Because the club and the master association are one body, a Forest Glen buyer should expect a single quarterly master statement rather than separate HOA and club bills; whether that statement carries separate line items for any lot class is set in the declaration and budget.

Layer 2: What does the neighborhood or commons association charge?

Every Forest Glen owner also belongs to one of seven neighborhood or commons associations, each with its own budget and fee, and none publishes its fee. The seven are Barrington Commons, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West Commons, Britannia, Jungle Plum East, Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas, each a separate corporation on the Florida Division of Corporations record.

These associations own real land. On the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll, Barrington Commons Association holds a 2.81 acre tract, Bishopwood West Commons a 1.92 acre tract, the Bishopwood East neighborhood association a 4.07 acre tract, and the Britannia neighborhood association three tracts totaling about 13 acres, with small tracts for Periwinkle Villas and Jungle Plum West. A neighborhood fee pays for the upkeep, insurance and any facilities on those tracts; owner listings mention neighborhood pools in some areas. The fee for a specific home is in that association’s adopted budget and on its estoppel certificate.

Layer 3: What does a Forest Glen condominium association charge?

Condominium owners in Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia pay a third fee to their condominium association, which insures and maintains the building. That fee is not published for any of the 13 condominiums listed in the Florida DBPR condominium filings extract.

Two state laws shape what that budget must carry. Florida Statutes 718.111 requires every condominium association to carry adequate property insurance, with replacement cost determined at least every three years, so building insurance is a condominium budget line rather than the unit owner’s own policy. And in Britannia, the only four-story buildings, Florida Senate Statute 718.112 requires Structural Integrity Reserve Studies at least every 10 years, and reserve funding under those studies can raise the condominium fee. The two-story Barrington and Bishopwood buildings stay under Florida’s general reserve rules. Ask for the condominium’s current budget, reserve schedule and insurance declarations page; together they tell you whether the fee is likely to hold or rise.

How does Forest Glen pay for capital projects? The 2016 example

Forest Glen pays for major capital projects by assessing every member through the master association, billed on the quarterly dues statement. The best documented example is 2016: the master board voted 6 to 1 on May 12, 2016 to approve a $949,376 outdoor dining facility plus an $80,000 contingency, and assessed every member $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility and member assessment.

The arithmetic appears to line up with a one-assessment-per-home model: 799 homes at $1,290 each comes to about $1.03 million, close to the $1,029,376 project and contingency total. That is our reading of the notice, not a statement in it. The casual outdoor venue the project created appears to be today’s Eagles Nest, which the club places between the 9th and 18th holes.

This is a dated, historical charge and not a current one. We include it because it shows a buyer the mechanism: when the club builds, every owner pays the same share, on top of dues, over a set number of quarters. Other large projects since (the 2024 greens conversion among them) were funded through a budget or assessment the club has not published; the master association’s budgets and board minutes, which members can request, would show how.

What is the $400,000 CPI-indexed assessment limit?

A 2017 amendment to the Forest Glen declaration sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to the Consumer Price Index from 2019, above which member approval rules apply. The amendment was recorded July 5, 2017 at Official Records Book 5411, Page 1883, per the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community (aggregator copy of Collier Clerk Official Records).

For an owner, this limit is a protection and a planning tool. The 2016 dining project, at $949,376 before contingency, was well above $400,000 and was approved by a board vote the year before the amendment was recorded; under today’s text a project of that size would appear to trigger the member approval rules. Because the limit is indexed to inflation from 2019, the dollar threshold in 2026 is higher than $400,000; the association can state the current indexed figure. The exact vote the declaration requires above the limit is in the amendment’s full text, which a buyer’s attorney should read.

What do renters pay to use the Forest Glen club?

Renters obtain club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings on the club’s rental board state that the renter pays the club’s transfer fee. The club does not publish the amount. The owner rental listing at 3970 Loblolly Bay Drive on the club’s board is one example of that wording, and the Forest Glen Rentals Wanted board shows steady seasonal demand for February and March stays.

Dollar figures for this fee appear in some owner-written listing text, but owner text is not a club fee schedule, so we do not repeat them. If you plan to rent a Forest Glen home, or to rent one out, ask the club office for its current rental transfer fee and ask each association whether it charges its own lease application or approval fee. Deposits and cleaning fees quoted in individual listings are that owner’s terms, not association charges.

Is there a capital contribution or fund fee when you buy in Forest Glen?

No first-party document we found states whether Forest Glen charges a capital contribution, fund fee or resale transfer fee at closing, or how much. If any such charge applies to a sale, it will be stated on the master association’s estoppel certificate for that home.

We flag this because figures for a Forest Glen “fund fee” and “capital contribution” have circulated online, attributed to unnamed sources. We could not tie either to a budget, estoppel or membership document, so we do not publish them. The same applies to claims that Forest Glen has “no separate initiation fee” or a “deeded” membership: no recorded document we read says either. The estoppel certificate is the document that settles the question for a specific sale.

How much does a Forest Glen estoppel certificate cost?

Florida caps what any association may charge for an estoppel certificate at $299, plus $119 for expedited delivery and up to $179 more if the account is delinquent, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule. Every Forest Glen association is subject to that cap.

The estoppel is the most important cost document in a Forest Glen sale. It is where a buyer sees the exact dues, assessments and any transfer or capital charge owed at closing for one specific home. Because a Forest Glen condominium sits under three associations, a condominium closing can involve three estoppel certificates (master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium), each under the same cap; a single-family or villa closing can involve two. Sellers: order them early, because a missing estoppel is one of the most common reasons a closing date slips.

Does Forest Glen have a CDD fee?

No. No Community Development District covers Forest Glen, so there is no CDD bond assessment on any Forest Glen tax bill. The Collier County Community Development Districts layer shows no district over Forest Glen, and 2025 tax bills for a Forest Glen condominium and a single-family home carry no CDD line.

That is a real cost difference from many newer East Naples communities, including Caymas directly to the south, where a CDD finances roads and utilities with bonds repaid through an annual assessment on the tax bill. In Forest Glen the developer built the infrastructure and the associations maintain it, so those costs sit inside association budgets instead of on the county bill.

What appears on the Forest Glen property tax bill besides taxes?

The Forest Glen tax bill carries ad valorem taxes at the adopted millage and, on single-family homes, a county garbage charge. The 2025 bill for a Jungle Plum Drive single-family home carried a “District 1 Garbage” non-ad valorem charge of $261.91, per the Collier Tax Collector 2025 bill for a Jungle Plum Dr single-family home, while the 2025 bill for a Loblolly Bay Dr condominium showed no non-ad valorem assessments at all.

Adopted 2025 millage for Forest Glen, millage code 39, was 10.5058 mills. The next section breaks that rate down line by line, works through a real bill, and explains why a buyer’s first bill will rarely match the seller’s.

Why don’t we print Forest Glen dues figures?

Because no budget, estoppel or association document we could find publishes them, and the figures that circulate online disagree with each other. Numbers presented as Forest Glen “bundled golf dues,” “HOA fees” or “initiation” ranges on agent, aggregator and consultancy sites cite no source document, and they do not match one another, so repeating any of them would mislead a buyer.

There is also a naming trap. Some listing sites attach an HOA figure to a “Forest Glen of Naples” filed under Golden Gate; that label and its fee do not describe this community. The only honest answer to “what are Forest Glen’s HOA fees?” is that they vary by neighborhood and building, they are billed by up to three associations, and the budget and estoppel for the specific home state them. That is the answer we give, and it is the one we will turn into real numbers for any home you ask about.

How do you get the real numbers for one Forest Glen home?

Ask for five documents: the estoppel certificate from each association, the current adopted budget of each association, the condominium’s insurance declarations page, the condominium’s reserve schedule or structural study (Britannia), and the most recent board minutes. Together they show every recurring fee, any pending or recent special assessment, and the pressures that could raise costs next year.

A seller can request budgets and minutes from the associations at any time, and the estoppel certificates once a sale is under contract. A buyer should make receipt and review of those documents a condition of the contract. The club office at (239) 348-1332 handles the master association; the management companies named in the governance section handle the neighborhood and condominium layers. For how Forest Glen’s cost structure compares with its neighbors, see our Naples golf communities guide and the Cedar Hammock and Naples Lakes Country Club guides.

How Much Are Property Taxes in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen property taxes were levied at 10.5058 mills for 2025 (millage code 39), and the county’s 2026 preliminary roll estimates them at 10.4020 mills. On that roll the median Forest Glen home carries estimated taxes of $2,897.01, single-family homes $4,328.61 and condominium-coded homes $2,824.15; homestead status moves a bill more than the home does.

Data updated: September 2026

Every number below comes from the Collier County Tax Collector’s bills, the Florida Department of Revenue’s millage filings or the county’s 2026 preliminary roll. Roll figures are labeled “2026 preliminary roll estimate” and are assessed values, never prices; bill figures are labeled “2025 tax bill.” Final 2026 rates are adopted at the county’s September 2026 budget hearings and appear on the November 2026 bill.

What millage code is Forest Glen in?

Every Forest Glen parcel is in Collier County millage code 39. The Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier millage codes and taxing authorities lists code 39 at 10.5058 mills with ten taxing authorities, and the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll assigns code 39 to all of Forest Glen.

One code for the whole community keeps the math simple: two identical homes on different Forest Glen streets pay the same rate, and any difference in their bills comes from assessed value and exemptions. Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, so no city millage applies; the roll carries zero municipal millage on every Forest Glen parcel. That also means the county’s Unincorporated Area General Fund appears on the bill, as it does across unincorporated Collier.

What were Forest Glen’s 2025 millage rates, line by line?

Forest Glen’s adopted 2025 millage totaled 10.5058 mills across ten taxing authorities, with the county, the school board and the fire district accounting for most of it. One mill is $1 of tax for every $1,000 of taxable value. The rates below are from the state’s millage filing and match the 2025 bills.

The county adopted its share on September 18, 2025. The Collier County FY2026 final budget public hearing records a countywide rate of 3.2449 mills (the General Fund, Water Pollution Control and Conservation Collier together) plus the unincorporated general fund of 0.6844, for an aggregate county millage of 3.7675. The two school levies together are 4.2490 mills, about 40% of the Forest Glen rate.

Why did the Greater Naples Fire Rescue rate go up?

The Greater Naples Fire Rescue District raised its rate to 2.0000 mills for 2025 from 1.5000 in 2024, against a rolled-back rate of 1.4161, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier millage codes. The rolled-back rate is the rate that would have raised the same revenue as the year before on existing property, so the district chose a substantial increase.

In dollars, the extra 0.5 mill adds $50 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value. On the 2025 Loblolly Bay Drive condominium bill worked below, the fire line alone came to about $347. Among the non-school levies, the fire district is now the second-largest line on a Forest Glen bill after the county general fund, and it funds the closest station: Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits at 3820 Beck Blvd on Forest Glen’s northern edge, per the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station list.

How do the 2026 preliminary rates compare with 2025?

The county’s 2026 preliminary roll computes Forest Glen’s estimated taxes at 10.4020 mills, 0.1038 mill below the adopted 2025 rate of 10.5058. Adopted 2025 millage for Forest Glen (millage code 39) was 10.5058 mills. The county’s 2026 preliminary roll computes estimated taxes at 10.4020 mills, reflecting preliminary 2026 school and district rates; final 2026 rates are set at the September hearings and appear on the November tax bill.

The county block is identical in both years; the difference sits almost entirely in the school levy. The same 10.4020 total appears on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll for Naples Lakes, Cedar Hammock and Eagle Creek, which supports reading it as the preliminary rate set for most of unincorporated East Naples rather than anything specific to Forest Glen. On a $300,000 taxable value, the 0.1038 mill difference is about $31 a year. When the adopted 2026 rates post, the November bill is the final word.

What does a real 2025 Forest Glen tax bill look like?

A 2025 Loblolly Bay Drive condominium without a homestead exemption owed $2,184.27, or $2,096.90 paid in November at the 4% early-payment discount, per the Collier Tax Collector 2025 bill for a Loblolly Bay Dr condominium. Its non-school taxable value was $173,496 and its school taxable value $258,590.

Those two taxable values explain the bill. We rebuilt it line by line from the bill’s taxable values and the adopted 2025 rates; the line amounts are our arithmetic, and they sum to the bill’s total exactly.

The gap between the two taxable values is Florida’s 10% annual assessment cap on non-homestead property, which limits increases for most levies but does not apply to school levies. That is why the school lines use a value about $85,000 higher than the other lines. For this owner, the cap saved real money; for a buyer, it resets, as explained below.

What would a Forest Glen tax bill be for a new buyer? An illustrative example

For illustration only: a buyer who does not claim homestead, taxed on the full 2026 preliminary assessed value at the 10.4020 preliminary rate, would owe about $3,229.66 on a median Forest Glen condominium-coded home ($310,485 assessed) and about $6,920.12 on a median single-family home ($665,268 assessed). These are our calculations from the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes, not bills.

The method checks out against a real parcel. A Barrington unit valued at $419,400 without homestead carries a 2026 preliminary estimated tax of $4,362.61 on the roll; $419,400 at 10.4020 mills is $4,362.60. So for a non-homestead home taxed on its full value, value times rate is a reliable estimate.

The last column is the gap a buyer needs to see. In Jungle Plum West, where 14 of 18 homes carry homestead, the neighborhood’s median estimated tax is $4,706.25, but a non-homestead owner taxed on the median assessed value would pay more than twice that. Two cautions: assessed values are not prices, and recorded Forest Glen sale prices ran above assessed values in every neighborhood, so your future assessed value may move toward what you paid. As a rule of thumb, every $10,000 of taxable value costs about $104 a year at 10.4020 mills.

How much do Forest Glen homes pay in total on the 2026 preliminary roll?

On the 2026 preliminary roll, Forest Glen’s 799 homes carry a combined just value of $303,038,952 and combined estimated ad valorem taxes of $2,517,510.99, an average of about $3,150.83 a home. The median is lower: $2,897.01 for all homes, $4,328.61 for the 87 single-family homes and $2,824.15 for the 712 condominium-coded parcels, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes.

The county roll codes Periwinkle’s 54 villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots. The roll values condominium units by floor plan, so neighborhood medians sit on plan values, and differences in taxes within one plan come from homestead and Save Our Homes status, not from the home. Among five East Naples golf communities measured the same way, Forest Glen’s median single-family estimate of $4,328.61 is the lowest, against $5,787.58 to $7,021.05 at the others.

How do homestead and Save Our Homes change a Forest Glen tax bill?

Homestead changes a Forest Glen bill more than the home does. Two Barrington units each assessed at $419,400 carry 2026 preliminary estimated taxes of $4,362.61 without a homestead exemption and $2,228.05 with homestead and the Save Our Homes cap, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll, a difference of $2,134.56 a year on the same floor plan.

Two mechanisms are at work. The homestead exemption reduces taxable value for an owner’s permanent Florida residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast a homestead’s assessed value can rise each year, so a long-held homestead’s taxable value falls well below its market value over time. On the 2026 preliminary roll, 310 of Forest Glen’s 799 homes (38.8%) carry homestead: 60 of 87 single-family homes and 250 of 712 condominium-coded parcels. Non-homestead homes get a different protection, the 10% annual cap on non-school assessments shown on the 2025 condominium bill above, which is smaller and does not reach the school levies.

If you will make a Forest Glen home your permanent residence, file for homestead with the county property appraiser’s office by the state deadline after you buy; the exemption and cap start from the first year you qualify.

What does a Forest Glen buyer inherit, and what resets on sale?

A buyer inherits the millage code, the taxing districts and the absence of a CDD; a buyer does not inherit the seller’s homestead exemption, Save Our Homes cap or non-homestead assessment cap. Save Our Homes benefits across the 799 homes total $38,885,123 of assessed value on the 2026 preliminary roll, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes. That is value a long-held homestead is shielded from, and it does not pass to a buyer.

The practical rule for a buyer: estimate your first full-year tax from your own purchase price or the current assessed value at current millage, not from the seller’s bill. A seller who has held a homestead for years may be paying half what a new owner will. The practical rule for a seller: your low tax bill is not a selling point you can pass on, so price on the home, and be ready for a buyer’s agent to point out the reset. At 10.5058 mills, the 2025 rate, every $100,000 of taxable value costs about $1,050 a year, which is a quick way to sanity-check any estimate.

What non-ad valorem charges appear on Forest Glen tax bills?

Single-family bills carry the county’s “District 1 Garbage” solid-waste charge, $261.91 on a 2025 Jungle Plum Drive bill; the 2025 Loblolly Bay Drive condominium bill showed no non-ad valorem charges. Both come from the Collier Tax Collector’s bills for a Jungle Plum Dr single-family home and a Loblolly Bay Dr condominium.

Just as important is what does not appear. The county lighting MSTU and any beautification MSTU are not levied on Forest Glen bills, and neither is any CDD, per those bills and the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2025 comparison of levies. County budget tables list a “Forest Lakes” roadway and drainage MSTU; that is a different community on Pine Ridge Road and has nothing to do with Forest Glen. We read two bills, one single-family and one condominium; before you buy, check the bill for the exact parcel on the Collier Tax Collector property tax search.

Does Forest Glen pay a CDD assessment?

No. No Community Development District covers Forest Glen, so no CDD bond or operating assessment appears on any Forest Glen tax bill. The Collier County Community Development Districts layer returns only Caymas, the newer community to the south, around Forest Glen’s footprint.

For buyers comparing Forest Glen with newer East Naples communities, this is a line to add, not subtract: a CDD community’s tax bill includes an assessment Forest Glen’s does not. The trade is that Forest Glen’s roads, gates, drainage and preserves are maintained through association budgets instead. When you compare two homes, compare the full carrying cost (tax bill plus every association layer), and our guide to the best real estate agents in Naples explains how we build that comparison on the public record.

How do you look up and pay a Forest Glen tax bill?

Forest Glen tax bills are issued by the Collier County Tax Collector in November, and paying in November earns the 4% early-payment discount shown on the 2025 condominium bill. Any Forest Glen bill, current or past, can be found by address on the Collier Tax Collector property tax search.

For the numbers behind the bill, the state publishes each year’s millage filings and roll files on the Florida Department of Revenue property tax data portal, and the county lists its dependent and independent districts on its Collier County special districts page. A buyer’s closing statement will prorate the current year’s taxes between seller and buyer; because the seller’s bill may reflect homestead, ask your agent to show you an estimate at your own value as well.

What Are the Neighborhoods Inside Forest Glen?

Forest Glen has seven neighborhoods holding exactly 799 homes: Barrington and Bishopwood West (coach homes), Bishopwood East (garden homes), Britannia (four-story condominiums), Periwinkle Villas (twin villas), Jungle Plum East (single-family homes) and Jungle Plum West (estate homes). By legal form that is 658 condominium units in 13 condominiums and 141 platted lots, every one inside the same gates and the same club.

Data updated: September 2026

Each neighborhood below is built from the recorded record, not from listing descriptions: unit counts and assessed values from the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for all 799 Forest Glen homes, year built, living area and recorded sales from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file, condominium counts from the Florida Division of Condominiums filings extract, and associations from the Florida Division of Corporations. The club’s own Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page describes the community as “Home to 799 residences, including executive homes, estates, twin villas, coach homes, garden homes, and condominiums,” and the roll count matches it home for home.

Three facts hold for every neighborhood. First, every home sits under the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc., which owns the course, clubhouse, preserves and private roads; the club calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on that same Real Estate page. Second, every Forest Glen address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High for 2026 to 2027, per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for Forest Glen, so the choice between neighborhoods never changes the school assignment. Third, what does change from one neighborhood to the next is the home type, the number of association layers, the FEMA flood zone building by building, and whether Florida’s condominium safety laws apply.

How the 799 Homes Break Down

Forest Glen’s 799 homes break down into 270 Britannia condominiums, 192 Bishopwood East garden homes, 104 Bishopwood West coach homes, 92 Barrington coach homes, 54 Periwinkle twin villas, 69 Jungle Plum East single-family homes and 18 Jungle Plum West estate homes. The four condominium neighborhoods hold 74 buildings: 23 Barrington four-unit buildings, 16 Bishopwood East twelve-unit buildings, 26 Bishopwood West four-unit buildings and 9 Britannia thirty-unit buildings.

Assessed values are ASSESSED values on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, not prices. The county roll codes Periwinkle’s 54 villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots, so county roll tables show 712 condominium-coded homes and 87 single-family homes. Flood zones come from Collier County’s structure-level address points laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer flood zone query on panel 12021C0418J, effective February 8, 2024. Zone AH is a Special Flood Hazard Area of shallow ponding; Zone X, shaded or unshaded, is not a Special Flood Hazard Area. A lender decides flood insurance requirements building by building.

The sales side of the picture is the public record, not the MLS. These are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), with a sale year of 2025 or 2026; the latest sale month in the file is April 2026.

The state file carries 798 of the 799 homes (one Britannia IV unit has no row in this release). In the Southwest Florida MLS for the 12 months to 26 September 2026, Barrington closed 6 homes at a $540,000 median, the Periwinkle villas 7 at $550,000, Bishopwood East 7 at $386,000, Britannia 11 at $279,900 and Bishopwood West 1 at $450,000; no Jungle Plum home closed through the MLS in that window. Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS report for any neighborhood on request at (239) 898-6072.

How the Club’s Home Categories Match the Neighborhoods

The club’s six marketing categories correspond to the seven recorded neighborhoods: executive homes to Jungle Plum East, estates to Jungle Plum West, twin villas to Periwinkle Villas, coach homes to Barrington and Bishopwood West, garden homes to Bishopwood East, and condominiums to Britannia. The club does not publish that mapping; it follows from the county roll read against the club’s labels, including the legend on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map (Twin Villa Homes, Estate Homes, Executive Homes, Coach Homes, Garden Homes, Condominiums).

Floor-plan names are a separate layer again. The Forest Glen open house list uses plan names such as Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow for coach homes, Braxton and Cornell for garden homes, and Berkshire, Carlisle, Clifton, Hickory and Magnolia for condominium plans. Those are floor plans, not neighborhoods or associations. Open houses are posted on the club site on Fridays and held Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 PM.

One name that circulates online, “Chelsea,” does not exist in Forest Glen: no plat block, association, roll code, condominium filing or club label carries it, and all 799 homes reconcile to the seven neighborhoods below. Likewise, a listing addressed on Beck Boulevard is not a Forest Glen home; every Forest Glen home is addressed on seven interior streets: Forest Glen Blvd, Loblolly Bay Dr, Bishopwood Ct E, Bishopwood Ct W, Jungle Plum Dr E, Jungle Plum Dr W and Periwinkle Way.

How the Association Layers Differ by Neighborhood

A condominium owner in Forest Glen sits under three associations and a single-family or villa owner under two. Twenty-one active Florida not-for-profit associations govern Forest Glen: the master association, 13 condominium associations and 7 neighborhood or commons associations (Barrington Commons, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West Commons, Britannia, Jungle Plum East, Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas), per the Florida Division of Corporations Bishopwood association search and its sibling name searches.

That structure appears to produce three layers of budget for condominium owners (master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium) and two for Periwinkle and Jungle Plum owners (master and neighborhood). Master association and club dues are billed quarterly on one statement. Current amounts for every layer are not published on any first-party page. Neighborhood and condominium fees vary by building; see that association’s budget. The exact figures owed on a specific home, including any capital contribution or transfer fee due at closing, are stated on the estoppel certificate, whose cost Florida caps at $299 plus $119 for expedited delivery, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule.

Management differs too. The state records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for every Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia entity, Complete Property Management of SW Florida for Jungle Plum East, and Tropical Isles Management of Fort Myers for Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas, per the Florida Division of Corporations Jungle Plum association search and the Periwinkle Villas association search. No public website was found for any sub-association; the club site is the community’s only official web presence.

Barrington: Two-Story Coach Home Condominiums

Barrington is 92 two-story coach home condominiums on Forest Glen Boulevard, built in 2003 and 2004, among the last phases of Forest Glen to be completed. The units sit four to a building in 23 buildings, split among three condominiums: Barrington I (32 units), Barrington II (32) and Barrington III (28), all tied together by Barrington Commons Association, Inc.

The Florida Division of Condominiums lists all three in its condominium filings extract: Barrington I recorded January 31, 2003 with 32 units, Barrington II July 9, 2003 with 32 units, and Barrington III December 16, 2003 with 28 units. The club lists these units as “Coach Home,” and on the map legend they fall under Coach Homes. Barrington shares its product with Bishopwood West (the same 1,897 and 2,193 square foot sizes appear in both), but it is its own neighborhood with its own commons association, its own commons tract and its own flood profile.

A dedicated Barrington sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Barrington Streets and Buildings

Every Barrington home is addressed on Forest Glen Boulevard, from 3880 to 3952. Barrington I is buildings 1 to 8 at 3880 to 3908 Forest Glen Blvd; Barrington II is buildings 9 to 12 and 20 to 23 at 3912 to 3925; Barrington III is buildings 13 to 19 at 3928 to 3952, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

Each building carries four units numbered 101, 102, 201 and 202, two on the ground floor and two above, which is the basis for reading these as two-story buildings. Barrington Commons Association owns a 2.81 acre commons tract at 3929 Forest Glen Blvd, in the middle of the Barrington block. Because Barrington II’s building numbers skip from 12 to 20, a buyer comparing units should work from the street address and building number together, not from the condominium name alone.

Barrington Floor Plans and Sizes

Barrington has exactly two floor plans: 1,897 square feet (46 units) and 2,193 square feet (46 units). The living areas come from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file, which shows every Barrington unit at one of those two sizes.

That makes Barrington one of the easiest Forest Glen neighborhoods to compare: two plans, one street, 2003 to 2004 construction. The club’s coach-home plan names on its open house list are Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow; the club does not publish which name belongs to which square footage or neighborhood, so match the name to the recorded living area before comparing two listings. Among Forest Glen’s attached homes, only Bishopwood West repeats Barrington’s two sizes, which is why the two neighborhoods are the natural comparison for each other.

Barrington Associations and Management

A Barrington owner belongs to three associations: the Forest Glen master association, Barrington Commons Association, Inc. (document N02000004716) and one of three condominium associations. The condominium associations are Barrington I of Forest Glen Condominium Association (N02000004589), Barrington II (N03000000647) and Barrington III (N03000002457), per the Florida Division of Corporations Barrington condominium search and the Barrington Commons Association search.

The declarations of condominium are of record: Barrington I at O.R. Book 3209, Page 1683; Barrington II at O.R. Book 3336, Page 2592; Barrington III at O.R. Book 3465, Page 1845, as cited in FEMA’s 2012 letters for each. The condominium associations operate under Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes and the commons association under Chapter 720. State records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for the Barrington entities. Barrington I and II have had administrative dissolutions reversed or reinstatements on file in the past; all three are active today. Fees for each layer are set in each association’s budget and are not published; the estoppel certificate shows what a specific unit owes.

Barrington Flood Zone by Building

Thirteen of Barrington’s 23 buildings map to Zone AH on FEMA’s 2024 map; the other ten map to Zone X or shaded Zone X. By condominium: Barrington I has 6 of 8 buildings in Zone AH (3880, 3884, 3888, 3892, 3896 and 3900 Forest Glen Blvd) and 2 in Zone X (3904 and 3908); Barrington II has 5 of 8 in Zone AH (3913, 3917, 3920, 3921 and 3925), 2 in Zone X (3916 and 3924) and 1 in shaded Zone X (3912); Barrington III has 2 of 7 in Zone AH (3936 and 3940) and 5 in Zone X.

These building zones come from Collier County’s structure-level address points laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, using the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area; Zone AH is.

Barrington has a longer flood-letter history than any other neighborhood. FEMA issued Letters of Map Amendment in 2012 for all three condominiums under the old 2012 map, including FEMA Letter of Map Amendment 12-04-6429A for Barrington I, LOMA 12-04-6430A for Barrington II and LOMA 12-04-6434A for Barrington III. Those letters name the flood source as “ponding/overland flow,” not storm surge, and record surveyed ground at the buildings of roughly 12.3 to 13.8 feet NAVD88, above the 10.5 foot base-flood-elevation line on the current map. But LOMAs are address-specific, and FEMA lists the 2012 to 2013 letters as not carried onto the 2024 map. A lender reads the current map unless a revalidation letter or a new LOMA exists, and the lender decides the insurance requirement for each building.

Barrington Condo Safety Law Status

Barrington is outside Florida’s milestone inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) laws, because its buildings are two stories based on unit numbering and building records. Both laws reach condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more, per Florida Statutes 553.899 on milestone inspections and Florida Statutes 718.112 on SIRS.

That does not mean Barrington has no reserve obligations. Two-story condominiums appear to remain under Florida’s general reserve rules for associations, and every Florida condominium association must carry adequate property insurance with replacement cost set at least every three years under Florida Statutes 718.111. The budget, reserve schedule and insurance declarations page for the specific Barrington condominium are the documents to read.

What Recorded Sales Show in Barrington

Barrington recorded 6 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, with a median of $545,100 (the mean of the middle pair, $530,200 and $560,000) and a range of $460,000 to $570,000, a small sample. The figures are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), read from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file, latest sale month April 2026.

By condominium the samples are too small for medians except one: Barrington I had 3 sales with a median of $560,000 (range $500,000 to $570,000). Barrington II had 2 sales, at $460,000 and $560,000. Barrington III had 1 sale, at $530,200. With two plans and six sales, the unit size matters more than the condominium name; which plan each sale was is a question for the MLS record, which Jesse will pull on request at (239) 898-6072.

Barrington Assessed Values

Barrington’s 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $438,035 across 92 units, the mean of the middle pair of the only two values the roll uses here: $419,400 and $456,670. The Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen values condominium units by plan, so each Barrington unit is assessed at one of those two figures. These are assessed values, not prices.

The same roll shows why the tax on two identical units can differ by half. Two Barrington units each assessed at $419,400 carry 2026 preliminary estimated taxes of $4,362.61 without a homestead exemption and $2,228.05 with homestead and the Save Our Homes cap. The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate across Barrington is $3,937.35, and 52 of the 92 units (56.5%) carry a homestead exemption: 14 in Barrington I, 20 in Barrington II and 18 in Barrington III. A buyer’s tax bill resets toward the full assessed value, so the seller’s bill is not the buyer’s bill.

Who Barrington Fits

Barrington fits a buyer who wants a two-story coach home of about 1,900 to 2,200 square feet on the main boulevard, in one of Forest Glen’s later phases (2003 to 2004), with only two plans to compare. The layout (two ground-floor and two upper units per building) gives a choice between a first-floor unit and a second-floor unit in the same building, per the unit numbering on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

It suits a buyer who values a smaller building (four units rather than 12 or 30) and is comfortable with three association layers and a condominium master insurance policy. It is less suited to a buyer who wants a private yard, a fee-simple lot or no condominium association at all; that buyer belongs in Periwinkle Villas or on Jungle Plum Drive.

What to Ask Before Buying in Barrington

Before writing an offer in Barrington, confirm the building’s flood zone and whether the condominium’s master policy includes flood coverage. Ask for the building number and address, then pull the FEMA Map Service Center FIRMette for that address; ask the condominium association for its insurance declarations page and wind deductible; and ask whether the association has pursued a new LOMA for any AH-mapped building under the 2024 map.

Then ask for the three budgets (master, Barrington Commons and the condominium), the reserve schedule, the last two years of board minutes, the rules on leasing and pets from the recorded declaration, and an estoppel certificate showing any capital contribution or transfer fee due at closing. Confirm the unit’s recorded living area against the two plans so you know which Barrington you are pricing.

Bishopwood East: Two-Story Garden Home Condominiums

Bishopwood East is 192 garden home condominiums on Bishopwood Court East, the largest two-story neighborhood in Forest Glen, built from 2000 to 2005. The units sit twelve to a building in 16 two-story buildings, split among Bishopwood East I (96 units), Bishopwood East II (48) and Bishopwood East III (48), under the Bishopwood East of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association.

The Florida Division of Condominiums filings extract dates the three condominiums April 27, 2000 (Bishopwood East I, 96 units), June 18, 2004 (Bishopwood East II, 48 units) and October 15, 2004 (Bishopwood East III, 48 units). The club’s own for-sale board labels Bishopwood Court East units “Garden Home,” and the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map shows them under Garden Homes. The label is not perfectly consistent on the club’s own list (at least one Bishopwood Court East unit has appeared there as “Condo”), which is one more reason to read the recorded name rather than the listing label.

A dedicated Bishopwood East sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Bishopwood East Streets and Buildings

Every Bishopwood East home is on Bishopwood Court East. Bishopwood East I is eight buildings at 3964 to 3980 Bishopwood Ct E; Bishopwood East II is four buildings at 3981, 3984, 3985 and 3988; Bishopwood East III is four buildings at 3989, 3992, 3993 and 3996, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

Units in each building are numbered 101 to 106 and 201 to 206: six on the ground floor and six above. The Bishopwood East neighborhood association owns a 4.07 acre tract at 3997 Bishopwood Ct E, at the end of the court. Because all three condominiums share one court, a buyer standing on Bishopwood Court East cannot tell the phases apart by sight; the street number is what identifies East I (2000 to 2003 construction) versus East II and East III (2004 to 2005).

Bishopwood East Floor Plans and Sizes

Bishopwood East has four floor plans: 1,261 square feet (33 units), 1,417 square feet (95 units), 1,587 square feet (16 units) and 1,599 square feet (48 units). The living areas come from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file, and the median unit is 1,417 square feet.

The smallest plan, 1,261 square feet, appears only in Bishopwood East I; East II and East III start at 1,417 square feet. That gives Bishopwood East the most compact homes in Forest Glen after Britannia, at 1,261 to 1,599 square feet against Britannia’s 1,170 to 1,567. The club’s garden-home plan names on its open house list are Braxton and Cornell; the club does not publish which name matches which square footage, so compare two listings by recorded living area.

Bishopwood East Associations and Management

A Bishopwood East owner belongs to three associations: the Forest Glen master association, Bishopwood East of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association, Inc. (document N00000002078) and one of three condominium associations: Bishopwood East I (N00000002081), Bishopwood East II (N03000003551) or Bishopwood East III (N04000006389), per the Florida Division of Corporations Bishopwood association search.

The declarations of condominium are of record: Bishopwood East I at O.R. Book 2668, Page 1192, as amended at O.R. Book 3470, Page 1711 (recited in the Business Observer Collier legal notices of July 18, 2025); Bishopwood East II at O.R. Book 3589, Page 2067; and Bishopwood East III at O.R. Book 3661, Page 2847. State records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for the Bishopwood entities. The neighborhood association has a reinstatement on file from an earlier administrative dissolution and is active today. Fees for each layer are not published; they are in each association’s budget and on the estoppel certificate.

Bishopwood East Flood Zone by Building

Ten of Bishopwood East’s 16 buildings map to Zone AH on FEMA’s 2024 map, and the split follows the phases. Bishopwood East I has 2 of 8 buildings in Zone AH (3977 and 3980 Bishopwood Ct E), 1 in shaded Zone X (3969) and 5 in Zone X; all four Bishopwood East II buildings and all four Bishopwood East III buildings map to Zone AH.

The building zones come from the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area; Zone AH is.

In 2012 FEMA issued LOMA 12-04-6508A for Bishopwood East II and LOMA 12-04-6520A for Bishopwood East III under the old 2012 map, recording “overland flow” or “ponding/overland flow” as the source and surveyed ground of 12.6 to 13.8 feet NAVD88, above the current 10.5 foot base-flood-elevation line. Bishopwood East I had no such letter. LOMAs are address-specific, and FEMA lists the 2012 to 2013 letters as not carried onto the 2024 map; a lender reads the current map unless a revalidation letter or a new LOMA exists, and decides the insurance requirement per building.

Bishopwood East Condo Safety Law Status

Bishopwood East is outside Florida’s milestone inspection and SIRS laws, because its buildings are two stories based on unit numbering and building records, and both laws start at three habitable stories under Florida Statutes 553.899 and Florida Statutes 718.112.

The general reserve and insurance duties of every Florida condominium association still appear to apply. A twelve-unit building spreads roof, paint and exterior costs across more owners than a four-unit coach building, but the reserve schedule in each condominium’s budget is the only document that shows how well funded those items are.

What Recorded Sales Show in Bishopwood East

Bishopwood East recorded 9 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, with a median of $410,000 and a range of $381,500 to $460,000, a small sample. These are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file; the latest sale month is April 2026.

By condominium: Bishopwood East I had 5 sales, median $410,000, range $381,500 to $440,000 (small sample); Bishopwood East II had no recorded qualified sale in the window; Bishopwood East III had 4 sales, median $424,500 (the mean of the middle pair, $404,000 and $445,000), range $400,000 to $460,000 (small sample). The tight range, under $80,000 from low to high across nine sales, reflects four floor plans in one building type.

Bishopwood East Assessed Values

Bishopwood East’s 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $310,485 across 192 units, with a range of $273,505 to $352,795, on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen. By condominium: East I $307,985, East II $310,485 and East III $310,485. These are assessed values, not prices.

The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate of taxes is $2,897.01 for the neighborhood, and 57 of the 192 units (29.7%) carry a homestead exemption: 30 in East I, 17 in East II and 10 in East III. Recorded sales ran well above assessed values here, a $410,000 median sale against a $310,485 median assessment, which is normal on a preliminary roll and is one reason a buyer should budget taxes from the purchase price, not from the seller’s bill.

Who Bishopwood East Fits

Bishopwood East fits a buyer who wants a two-story garden home of about 1,260 to 1,600 square feet, a lower entry point than the coach homes, and a court of its own. It is the next rung up from Britannia by assessed value and recorded sale median, and an owner-posted listing on the club’s board states that garden-home owners may keep private golf carts, per the owner listing for 3993 Bishopwood Ct East; confirm cart rules in the recorded documents.

It is less suited to a buyer who wants an elevator building (Britannia’s four-story buildings are the ones described as elevator buildings in the listings reviewed) or a buyer who wants the fewest neighbors per building, which points to the four-unit coach buildings of Barrington and Bishopwood West.

What to Ask Before Buying in Bishopwood East

Start with the phase: a Bishopwood East I unit, an East II unit and an East III unit carry different condominium associations, different flood zones and, in East I, a smaller plan. Ask for the building address, the FIRMette from FEMA’s Map Service Center, the condominium’s insurance declarations page showing whether flood is on the master policy, and whether the association has sought a new LOMA for any AH-mapped building.

Then ask for the master, neighborhood and condominium budgets, the reserve schedule, recent board minutes, the golf cart, leasing and pet rules from the declaration, and the estoppel certificate.

Own a Bishopwood East or Barrington home? The sale comps behind a price are thin in every Forest Glen neighborhood, so the plan, the floor and the building’s flood zone move value more than a neighborhood median.

Bishopwood West: Two-Story Coach Home Condominiums

Bishopwood West is 104 two-story coach home condominiums built from 2000 to 2002, four units to a building in 26 buildings, on Bishopwood Court West and a short stretch of Loblolly Bay Drive. It holds three condominiums, Bishopwood West I (28 units), Bishopwood West II (40) and Bishopwood West III (36), under Bishopwood West Commons Association, Inc.

The Florida Division of Condominiums filings extract dates Bishopwood West I to September 26, 2000 (28 units) and Bishopwood West II to April 16, 2001 (40 units), and lists Bishopwood West III with 36 units. The recorded Declaration of Condominium for Bishopwood West III (a copy of the recorded instrument; the authority copy is in the Collier County Official Records) names Lennar Homes, Inc. as developer, 36 units at four per building, recorded July 18, 2002. That makes Bishopwood West III one of the two Forest Glen neighborhoods where the builder is proven on the record; the other is Periwinkle Villas. The club lists Bishopwood Court West units as “Coach Home.”

A dedicated Bishopwood West sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Bishopwood West Streets and Buildings

Bishopwood West is on two streets, and that trips up anyone searching only Bishopwood Court West. Bishopwood West I is seven buildings at 3902 to 3914 Loblolly Bay Drive; Bishopwood West II is ten buildings at 3954 to 3971 Bishopwood Ct W; Bishopwood West III is nine buildings at 3974 to 3990 Bishopwood Ct W, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

Anyone mapping “Bishopwood West” to Bishopwood Court West alone misses 28 homes. Units are numbered 101, 102, 201 and 202 in each building, two down and two up. Bishopwood West Commons Association owns a 1.92 acre tract at 3917 Loblolly Bay Dr, between Bishopwood West I and Bishopwood Court West; the roll shows a 174 square foot structure on it built in 2002, and its purpose is not stated in the records reviewed.

Bishopwood West Floor Plans and Sizes

Bishopwood West has three floor-plan sizes: 1,869 square feet (34 units), 1,897 square feet (18 units) and 2,193 square feet (52 units). The living areas come from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file.

The sizes split by phase. Bishopwood West I and II mix 1,869 and 2,193 square foot units; Bishopwood West III, the 2002 Lennar phase, uses 1,897 and 2,193 square feet, the same two sizes Barrington uses. Half of all Bishopwood West units are the 2,193 square foot plan, the largest attached home in Forest Glen. The club’s coach-home plan names on its open house list (Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow) are not published against square footage, so compare listings by recorded living area.

Bishopwood West Associations and Management

A Bishopwood West owner belongs to three associations: the Forest Glen master association, Bishopwood West Commons Association, Inc. (document N00000005955) and one of three condominium associations: Bishopwood West I (N00000005956), Bishopwood West II (N00000006741) or Bishopwood West III (N01000005981), per the Florida Division of Corporations Bishopwood association search.

Recorded references include the Bishopwood West I condominium plot plan at O.R. Book 2775, Page 2723; the Bishopwood West II declaration at O.R. Book 2808, Page 706, recited in a Business Observer legal notice citing the Bishopwood West II declaration; and the Bishopwood West III plot plan at O.R. Book 3075, Page 989. State records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for the Bishopwood entities. Fees for each layer are not published; the estoppel certificate is where a buyer sees what a unit owes.

Bishopwood West Flood Zone by Building

Ten of Bishopwood West’s 26 buildings map to Zone AH on FEMA’s 2024 map, and almost all of them are in one phase. All seven Bishopwood West I buildings on Loblolly Bay Drive map to Zone X; Bishopwood West II has 1 of 10 in Zone AH (3967 Bishopwood Ct W), 4 in shaded Zone X (3959, 3966, 3970 and 3971) and 5 in Zone X; all nine Bishopwood West III buildings map to Zone AH.

The building zones come from the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Zone X, shaded or unshaded, is not a Special Flood Hazard Area; Zone AH is.

Every Bishopwood West phase received a FEMA Letter of Map Amendment in 2012 under the old map, including LOMA 12-04-6435A for Bishopwood West I and LOMA 12-04-6433A for Bishopwood West III, with surveyed ground of 12.0 to 13.5 feet NAVD88 across the phases, above the current 10.5 foot base-flood-elevation line. The 2024 map nonetheless places all nine Bishopwood West III buildings in Zone AH. LOMAs are address-specific, and FEMA lists the 2012 to 2013 letters as not carried onto the 2024 map; an owner holding a 2012 letter should not assume it still controls a loan. Lenders decide insurance requirements per building.

Bishopwood West is outside Florida’s milestone inspection and SIRS laws, because its buildings are two stories based on unit numbering and building records, below the three-story threshold in Florida Statutes 553.899 and Florida Statutes 718.112.

As with every Forest Glen condominium, the association’s general reserve and insurance duties still appear to apply under Chapter 718. The Bishopwood West buildings date from 2000 to 2002, among the earliest condominium phases in Forest Glen, so roof and exterior replacement timing in the reserve schedule deserves a close read.

What Recorded Sales Show in Bishopwood West

Bishopwood West recorded 5 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, with a median of $575,000 and a range of $450,000 to $595,000, a small sample and the highest median of the four condominium neighborhoods. The figures are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file, latest sale month April 2026.

By condominium: Bishopwood West I had 1 sale, at $450,000; Bishopwood West II had 3 sales, median $575,000, range $545,000 to $585,000 (small sample); Bishopwood West III had 1 sale, at $595,000. Five sales cannot settle whether Bishopwood West trades above Barrington in general; they show that the two coach home neighborhoods trade in the same band, roughly $450,000 to $600,000, in this window.

Bishopwood West Assessed Values

Bishopwood West’s 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $424,400 across 104 units, with a range of $228,335 to $461,670, on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen. By condominium: West I $425,235, West II $425,235 and West III $424,400. These are assessed values, not prices.

The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate of taxes is $4,042.83, and 61 of the 104 units (58.7%) carry a homestead exemption: 11 in West I, 25 in West II and 25 in West III. Recorded sale prices ran above assessed values here as in every Forest Glen neighborhood.

Who Bishopwood West Fits

Bishopwood West fits a buyer who wants the largest attached plan in Forest Glen (2,193 square feet), a four-unit building, and a choice between a building in Zone X (all of Bishopwood West I) and the Lennar-developed 2002 phase on Bishopwood Court West. The phase-by-phase differences on the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer make it a neighborhood where the specific building matters as much as the unit.

It is less suited to a buyer who wants a fee-simple home with no condominium layer, or one who wants a ground-floor-only building; every Bishopwood West building has upper and lower units.

What to Ask Before Buying in Bishopwood West

First confirm which condominium the unit belongs to, because Bishopwood West I sits on Loblolly Bay Drive and a listing may describe it only by that street. Then pull the FIRMette for the building address, ask the condominium for its insurance declarations page (flood coverage and wind deductible) and ask whether the association has pursued a new LOMA for the AH-mapped Bishopwood West III buildings.

Ask for the master, commons and condominium budgets and reserve schedule, what the structure on the commons tract at 3917 Loblolly Bay Dr is and who maintains it, the leasing and pet rules from the recorded declaration, and the estoppel certificate showing any capital contribution or transfer fee at closing.

Britannia: Four-Story Condominiums

Britannia is 270 condominiums in nine four-story elevator buildings of 30 units each on Loblolly Bay Drive, built from 2000 to 2005, and it is the entry point to Forest Glen ownership. It is also the only Forest Glen neighborhood under Florida’s milestone inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study laws, and the most frequently traded, with 15 of the community’s 45 recorded qualified sales in 2025 and 2026.

The Florida Division of Condominiums filings extract lists four Britannia condominiums: Britannia I (90 units, recorded November 30, 2000), Britannia II (60 units, February 4, 2003), Britannia III (60 units, August 18, 2004) and Britannia IV (60 units, April 12, 2005). The club lists these units as “Condo,” and its site map labels the block “BRITTANIA,” a misspelling of the recorded name. The four-story reading comes from the unit numbering (units run to the 400 series) and building records, and a Britannia owner listing on the club’s rental board describes a 400-series unit as a “top floor unit in an elevator building,” per the owner rental listing for 3970 Loblolly Bay Drive #403.

A dedicated Britannia sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Britannia Streets and Buildings

All nine Britannia buildings are on Loblolly Bay Drive, from 3935 to 4010. Britannia I is buildings 1 to 3 at 3935, 3940 and 3950; Britannia II is buildings 4 and 5 at 3960 and 3970; Britannia III is buildings 6 and 7 at 3980 and 3990; Britannia IV is buildings 8 and 9 at 4000 and 4010 Loblolly Bay Dr, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

Each building numbers its units 101 to 108, 201 to 208, 301 to 308 and 401 to 406: eight units on each of the first three floors and six on the fourth. Some listings shorten a unit to a building and unit pair, so “7-101” style labels point to a specific Britannia building. The Britannia neighborhood association owns three tracts in the Britannia block totaling about 13 acres (3.82, 3.84 and 5.32 acres, with site addresses at 3965 and 3978 Loblolly Bay Dr), the most land held by any Forest Glen sub-association. These are also the tallest buildings in Forest Glen, set in the interior of the community rather than on Collier or Beck boulevards.

Britannia Floor Plans and Sizes

Britannia has six floor-plan sizes, from 1,170 to 1,567 square feet: 1,170 (32 units), 1,185 (40), 1,332 (78), 1,350 (71), 1,534 (30) and 1,567 (18). The living areas come from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file, and the median Britannia unit is 1,332 square feet.

The plans shift slightly by phase: Britannia I and II run 1,185 to 1,534 square feet, while Britannia III and IV add the 1,170 and 1,567 square foot sizes. These are the smallest homes in Forest Glen. The club’s condominium plan names on its open house list are Berkshire, Carlisle, Clifton, Hickory and Magnolia; the club does not publish which name belongs to which size, so match any listing to its recorded living area.

Britannia Associations and Management

A Britannia owner belongs to three associations: the Forest Glen master association, Britannia of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association, Inc. (document N00000005845) and one of four condominium associations: Britannia I (N00000005844, filed September 5, 2000), Britannia II (N02000002798), Britannia III (N03000006726, whose registered name is misspelled “Comdominium” on the state record) or Britannia IV (N04000000529), per the Florida Division of Corporations Britannia association search and the Britannia IV association search.

The Britannia I Declaration of Condominium is of record at O.R. Book 2749, Page 298, and it is a phased declaration, as recited in a court filing citing the Britannia I declaration. State records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for the Britannia entities. Britannia III and the Britannia neighborhood association have reinstatements on file from earlier administrative dissolutions; all five Britannia associations are active today. Fees for each layer are not published and vary by condominium; the budget and the estoppel certificate show them.

Britannia Flood Zone by Building

Seven of Britannia’s nine buildings map to Zone X or shaded Zone X on FEMA’s 2024 map, and the two Britannia IV buildings (4000 and 4010 Loblolly Bay Dr) map to Zone AH. By building: Britannia I at 3935 and 3940 map to Zone X and 3950 to shaded Zone X; Britannia II at 3960 and 3970 map to Zone X; Britannia III at 3980 maps to Zone X and 3990 to shaded Zone X.

The building zones come from the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area; Zone AH is. Unlike Barrington and Bishopwood, no Britannia building appears among the 13 Letters of Map Amendment FEMA issued in Forest Glen in 2012 and 2013, per the FEMA Letters of Map Amendment layer for Forest Glen.

Insurance works differently in a four-story condominium. Condominium unit-owner (HO-6) policies are exempt from Citizens Property Insurance’s flood requirement, per Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements, so the question for a Britannia buyer is whether the association’s master policy carries flood for the building, which the association’s insurance declarations page shows. A lender still decides the requirement for each building.

Britannia Condo Safety Law Status

Britannia is the only Forest Glen neighborhood under Florida’s milestone inspection and SIRS laws, because its nine buildings are four stories based on unit numbering and building records. Milestone inspections apply to condominium buildings three habitable stories or more, due by December 31 of the year a building turns 30 from its certificate of occupancy and every 10 years after, under Florida Statutes 553.899.

Structural Integrity Reserve Studies apply to the same buildings at least every 10 years, and associations that existed on July 1, 2022 had to complete one by December 31, 2025, under Florida Statutes 718.112. All four Britannia condominium associations appear in the state’s Florida DBPR SIRS reporting database; buyers should read the study and reserve schedule in the resale package.

Britannia’s first milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s, 30 years after each building’s certificate of occupancy. The exact year for each building depends on its certificate of occupancy date, which is not the same as the year built on the tax roll, so ask the association for its own schedule. The state’s rules and filing portals are on the Florida DBPR condominium milestone inspections and SIRS page.

What Recorded Sales Show in Britannia

Britannia recorded 15 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, with a median of $337,000 and a range of $245,000 to $419,500, a third of all Forest Glen sales in the window. These are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file; the latest sale month is April 2026, and 15 is still a modest sample.

By condominium: Britannia I had 2 sales, at $272,000 and $372,500; Britannia II had 7 sales, median $380,000, range $260,000 to $419,500 (small sample); Britannia III had 3 sales, median $305,000, range $280,000 to $337,000 (small sample); Britannia IV had 3 sales, median $246,000, range $245,000 to $350,000 (small sample). The spread inside Britannia, from $245,000 to $419,500, is wider than the spread inside any other condominium neighborhood, which is what six plans, four floors and two flood zones produce. Floor level and view are MLS details; Jesse will pull the matching MLS records on request at (239) 898-6072.

Britannia Assessed Values

Britannia’s 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $266,500 across 270 units, the lowest in Forest Glen, with a range of $227,300 to $317,730, on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen. All four condominiums share the same $266,500 median. These are assessed values, not prices.

The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate of taxes is $2,468.40, and 55 of 270 units (20.4%) carry a homestead exemption, the lowest homestead share of any Forest Glen neighborhood: 23 in Britannia I, 14 in Britannia II, 10 in Britannia III and 8 in Britannia IV. The recorded median sale of $337,000 sits well above the $266,500 median assessment, the clearest example in Forest Glen of why assessed value is not a price.

Who Britannia Fits

Britannia fits a buyer who wants the lowest-cost way into a membership-inclusive golf community, one-level living of about 1,170 to 1,570 square feet, and an elevator building. It also suits an owner who may rent the unit: only 20.4% of Britannia units carry a homestead exemption on the roll, and owners post Britannia units on the club’s properties for rent board, and a renter gets club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, paying the club’s transfer fee, whose amount the club does not publish.

It is less suited to a buyer who wants a private yard or a small building; a Britannia building holds 30 units. It is also the one neighborhood where a buyer must read a SIRS and plan for milestone inspections, which can drive reserve contributions or special assessments.

What to Ask Before Buying in Britannia

Ask first for the SIRS, the reserve schedule it produced, and the association’s plan and funding for the building’s first milestone inspection. Then ask for the insurance declarations page (does the master policy carry flood, and what is the wind deductible), the building’s flood zone (especially at 4000 and 4010 Loblolly Bay Dr, the two Zone AH buildings), and the elevator maintenance and replacement line in the reserves.

Round it out with the master, neighborhood and condominium budgets, board minutes that mention special assessments, the leasing rules from the recorded declaration if you plan to rent, and the estoppel certificate. Florida caps the estoppel fee at $299 plus $119 for expedited delivery, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule.

Periwinkle Villas: Twin Villas on Platted Lots

Periwinkle Villas is 54 twin villas on Periwinkle Way, built from 1999 to 2002 on platted fee-simple lots of about 0.15 acre, and it is the only Forest Glen neighborhood where the county roll and the legal form disagree. The villas are Block 1, Lots 1 to 54, of the Forest Glen of Naples plat, governed by a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants rather than a declaration of condominium, yet the county roll codes them as condominium.

Periwinkle Villas are inside Forest Glen: they are Block 1 of the Forest Glen of Naples plat, and Periwinkle Way is the community’s Beck Boulevard entrance, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map, whose legend calls them Twin Villa Homes. The recorded 2001 amendment to the Periwinkle Villas Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants (a copy of the recorded instrument; the authority copy is in the Collier County Official Records) names Lennar Homes, Inc. as Declarant and recites the base declaration at O.R. Book 2612, Page 0120. Periwinkle and Bishopwood West III are the two neighborhoods where the builder is proven on the record.

A dedicated Periwinkle Villas sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Periwinkle Villas Streets and Lots

Every Periwinkle villa is addressed on Periwinkle Way, from 3532 to 3670, on its own platted lot with its own acreage on the roll, about 0.15 acre at the median, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. Periwinkle Way is also the road to Forest Glen’s rear gate on Beck Boulevard; the main entrance is on Collier Boulevard at Forest Glen Boulevard.

The Periwinkle Villas neighborhood association owns a small 0.10 acre common tract on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. “Twin villa” is the club’s term; exactly how a given villa pairs with its neighbor, and who maintains shared elements, is set in the declaration and the lot survey.

Periwinkle Villas Floor Plans and Sizes

Periwinkle Villas has four floor-plan sizes: 1,534 square feet (8 homes), 1,688 square feet (34), 1,797 square feet (6) and 1,879 square feet (6). The living areas come from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file, and the median villa is 1,688 square feet.

That puts the villas between the garden homes (1,261 to 1,599 square feet) and the coach homes (1,869 to 2,193), but with something no condominium in Forest Glen offers: a fee-simple lot. The club’s open house list groups these homes under “Single Family & Villas” rather than giving villa plan names.

Periwinkle Villas Associations and Management

A Periwinkle owner belongs to two associations: the Forest Glen master association and Periwinkle Villas of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association, Inc. (document N99000005775), a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, per the Florida Division of Corporations Periwinkle Villas association search. There is no condominium association layer.

State records list Tropical Isles Management of Fort Myers for the Periwinkle association. Because the villas are platted lots rather than condominium units, Florida’s condominium milestone inspection and SIRS laws do not apply to them. Whether lawn care or exterior maintenance is included depends on the neighborhood’s declaration and budget, and the neighborhood fee is not published; the estoppel certificate shows what a specific villa owes.

Periwinkle Villas Flood Zone

Collier County’s address points on Periwinkle Way map to Zone X at 53 points and shaded Zone X at 1 on FEMA’s 2024 map; none of them falls in Zone AH. The points come from the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer.

Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, but it does not mean no flood risk, and a lender still makes its own determination for each home. Insurance is also more personal here than in a condominium: a villa owner insures the home under their own policy, and Citizens Property Insurance requires flood coverage on its personal residential policies with wind coverage in the special flood hazard area now and on all remaining homes regardless of value from January 1, 2027, per Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements.

What Recorded Sales Show in Periwinkle Villas

Periwinkle Villas recorded 5 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, with a median of $550,000 and a range of $500,000 to $650,000, a small sample. These are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file, latest sale month April 2026.

The villa median sits just above Barrington’s $545,100 and below Bishopwood West’s $575,000, even though the villas are smaller than the coach homes. With five sales that is a hint, not a rule; the fee-simple lot and the absence of a condominium layer are the obvious candidates for the premium per square foot, and only current MLS comps can test it. Jesse will pull them on request at (239) 898-6072.

Periwinkle Villas Assessed Values

Periwinkle Villas’ 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $443,048 across 54 homes, with a range of $379,014 to $490,259, on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen, the highest assessed median outside the two Jungle Plum sections. These are assessed values, not prices.

The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate of taxes is $4,131.31, and 25 of the 54 homes (46.3%) carry a homestead exemption. Because the roll codes the villas as condominium, a county table that splits Forest Glen into “condominium” and “single-family” counts Periwinkle’s 54 villas on the condominium side; by legal form they are platted lots.

Who Periwinkle Villas Fits

Periwinkle Villas fits a buyer who wants a villa of about 1,530 to 1,880 square feet on its own platted lot, two association layers instead of three, and no condominium safety-law exposure. It also fits a buyer who drives north often, since Periwinkle Way runs to the Beck Boulevard gate.

It is less suited to a buyer who wants a large single-family home or a lot bigger than about 0.15 acre; those are on Jungle Plum Drive. And because a villa is a fee-simple home, its owner carries more of the insurance and maintenance decisions personally than a condominium owner does.

What to Ask Before Buying in Periwinkle Villas

Ask for the recorded Periwinkle declaration and its amendments, and read what the neighborhood association maintains (roofs, exteriors, lawns) versus what the owner maintains. Ask for the lot survey, the permit history for windows and shutters (original opening protection varies across 1999 to 2002 construction), and a current wind mitigation and four-point inspection for insurance.

Then ask for the master and neighborhood budgets, the leasing and pet rules, and the estoppel certificate showing dues and any transfer or capital charge at closing.

Jungle Plum East: Single-Family Homes

Jungle Plum East is 69 single-family homes on Jungle Plum Drive East, built from 1999 to 2002, with 2,176 to 2,746 square feet of living area, and it is the largest single-family section of Forest Glen. The homes are Block 3 of the Forest Glen of Naples plat, the club’s “executive homes” by its map legend, and they sit under the Jungle Plum East of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association.

The club’s for-sale board lists Jungle Plum Drive East homes as “Single Family Home,” as in the owner listing for 3840 Jungle Plum Drive East. The neighborhood association was filed August 19, 1999, one of the first Forest Glen associations, per the Jungle Plum East articles of incorporation. The builder of the Jungle Plum homes is not established on the record reviewed.

A dedicated Jungle Plum East sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Jungle Plum East Streets and Lots

Every Jungle Plum East home is addressed on Jungle Plum Drive East, from 3679 to 3883, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. Lots across the two single-family blocks run from about 0.15 to 0.47 acre, with a median of about 0.17 acre, and the largest lots are in Jungle Plum West.

No common tract is titled to the Jungle Plum East association on the roll; the course, preserves and roads around it belong to the master association. Jungle Plum East homes appear on the club’s rental board too, as in the owner rental listing for 3783 Jungle Plum Drive East.

Jungle Plum East Home Sizes

Jungle Plum East homes run from 2,176 to 2,746 square feet of living area, with a median of 2,402 square feet, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file.

Unlike the condominiums, the sizes do not cluster on a handful of plans; the living areas form a continuous range, consistent with many plans or owner changes over time. That makes comparisons here depend on the specific home: pool, lot, view, updates and permit history. Those features are MLS and inspection details, not roll fields.

Jungle Plum East Associations and Management

A Jungle Plum East owner belongs to two associations: the Forest Glen master association and Jungle Plum East of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association, Inc. (document N99000004948), a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, per the Florida Division of Corporations Jungle Plum association search. State records list Complete Property Management of SW Florida for it.

Condominium milestone and SIRS laws do not apply to single-family homes. The tax bill carries one line a condominium bill in Forest Glen does not: the 2025 bill for a Jungle Plum Drive single-family home carried a county “District 1 Garbage” non-ad valorem charge of $261.91, while a Loblolly Bay Drive condominium bill showed no non-ad valorem assessments, per the 2025 Collier County tax bill for a Jungle Plum Drive home. No CDD assessment appears on Forest Glen bills. The neighborhood fee is not published.

Jungle Plum East Flood Zone

Collier County’s 69 address points on Jungle Plum Drive East map to Zone X at 65 points and shaded Zone X at 4 on FEMA’s 2024 map; none falls in Zone AH. The points come from the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area.

Four Jungle Plum East lots hold FEMA Letters of Map Amendment from 2012, issued under the old 2012 map with surveyed ground of 12.5 to 13.4 feet NAVD88, and FEMA lists the 2012 to 2013 letters as not carried onto the 2024 map, per the FEMA Letters of Map Amendment layer for Forest Glen. LOMAs are address-specific. The one elevation certificate Collier holds inside Forest Glen, for a Jungle Plum Drive East home surveyed in 2013, shows the finished floor at 13.0 feet NAVD88 and lowest adjacent grade at 12.4 feet, per the Collier County elevation certificate for a Jungle Plum Dr E home, against the current 10.5 foot base-flood-elevation line. A lender decides the flood insurance requirement for each home, and Citizens’ flood requirement reaches all its remaining homes from January 1, 2027.

What Recorded Sales Show in Jungle Plum East

Jungle Plum East recorded 5 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, with a median of $835,000 and a range of $760,000 to $990,000, a small sample and the highest sale median in Forest Glen. These are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file, latest sale month April 2026.

These five are also every single-family sale in Forest Glen in the window, because Jungle Plum West recorded none. The $990,000 sale is the top of the Forest Glen range. Five sales across a continuous range of home sizes cannot price a specific house; a CMA built on current MLS comps can, and Jesse will prepare one on request at (239) 898-6072.

Jungle Plum East Assessed Values

Jungle Plum East’s 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $657,833 across 69 homes, with a range of $576,830 to $755,231, on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen. These are assessed values, not prices.

The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate of taxes is $4,251.34, and 46 of the 69 homes (66.7%) carry a homestead exemption. In context, Forest Glen’s single-family median assessed value of $665,268 is the lowest of five East Naples golf communities measured the same way on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll, against $742,442 to $807,173 at Eagle Creek, Naples Heritage, Naples Lakes Country Club and Cedar Hammock.

Who Jungle Plum East Fits

Jungle Plum East fits a buyer who wants a detached single-family home of about 2,200 to 2,750 square feet on its own lot inside a membership-inclusive golf community, with two association layers and no condominium. It is the single-family entry point in Forest Glen, with 69 homes against Jungle Plum West’s 18, so it is the single-family section with the most homes to choose from.

It is less suited to a buyer who wants 3,000 square feet or more, which points to Jungle Plum West, or a buyer who wants to hand exterior and insurance decisions to an association, which points to the condominium neighborhoods.

What to Ask Before Buying in Jungle Plum East

Ask for the permit history (roof, windows, shutters and any pool work), a wind mitigation and four-point inspection, and an elevation certificate if the lender or insurer asks for one. Every home dates from 1999 to 2002, a span that straddles Florida’s first statewide building code in 2002, so original opening protection varies home by home.

Then ask for the master and Jungle Plum East budgets, the neighborhood’s architectural and leasing rules, the recorded declaration, and the estoppel certificate.

Jungle Plum West: Single-Family Estate Homes

Jungle Plum West is 18 single-family estate homes on Jungle Plum Drive West, built in 1999 and 2000, with 2,473 to 4,284 square feet of living area and the largest lots in Forest Glen, about 0.47 acre at the top. It is the smallest and most valuable section of Forest Glen, with a 2026 preliminary median assessed value of $988,045, and it recorded no qualified sale in 2025 or 2026.

The homes are Block 2 of the Forest Glen of Naples plat, the club’s “Estate Homes” on its Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map, and they sit under the Jungle Plum West of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association. They are among the first homes built in Forest Glen, per the year-built field in the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file.

A dedicated Jungle Plum West sub-page is coming with its association details, recent sale comps, and street-by-street analysis. We’ll link it here when it goes live.

Jungle Plum West Streets and Lots

All 18 Jungle Plum West homes are on Jungle Plum Drive West, on lots that reach about 0.47 acre, the largest in Forest Glen, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll.

The Jungle Plum West association owns a 0.28 acre common tract on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. With 18 homes, it is the smallest neighborhood in Forest Glen by count and one of the smallest associations.

Jungle Plum West Home Sizes

Jungle Plum West homes run from 2,473 to 4,284 square feet of living area, with a median of 3,092 square feet, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax roll file. One size, 3,228 square feet, appears four times.

The 4,284 square foot top of the range is the largest living area in Forest Glen, whose homes run from 1,170 to 4,284 square feet overall. The median Jungle Plum West home is about 700 square feet larger than the median Jungle Plum East home.

Jungle Plum West Associations and Management

A Jungle Plum West owner belongs to two associations: the Forest Glen master association and Jungle Plum West of Forest Glen Neighborhood Association, Inc. (document N99000004890), a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720, per the Florida Division of Corporations Jungle Plum association search. State records list Tropical Isles Management of Fort Myers for it.

Condominium milestone and SIRS laws do not apply. The neighborhood fee is not published, and with 18 homes sharing the neighborhood budget, any neighborhood-level project is split across few owners; the budget and the estoppel certificate show the current figures.

Jungle Plum West Flood Zone

Collier County’s address points on Jungle Plum Drive West map to Zone X at 19 points and shaded Zone X at 1 on FEMA’s 2024 map; none falls in Zone AH. The points come from the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen laid over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (the street carries 20 points for 18 homes).

Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, but a lender makes its own determination for each home, and anyone can pull an official FIRMette for an address from FEMA’s Map Service Center. Citizens Property Insurance requires flood coverage on all its remaining homes regardless of value from January 1, 2027.

What Recorded Sales Show in Jungle Plum West

Jungle Plum West recorded no qualified sale in 2025 or through April 2026 in the recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), read from the Florida Department of Revenue Collier 2026 preliminary tax roll file. There is no recent public-record sale median for this section.

That scarcity is the point. With 18 homes and no recorded sale in the window, a Jungle Plum West seller has no neighborhood comp and must be priced from Jungle Plum East sales (median $835,000, range $760,000 to $990,000, small sample), from the assessed values below, and from outside Forest Glen. A buyer, likewise, may wait a season or more for one to come up. Jesse will pull the MLS history for Jungle Plum Drive West on request at (239) 898-6072.

Jungle Plum West Assessed Values

Jungle Plum West’s 2026 preliminary median assessed value is $988,045 across 18 homes (the mean of a middle pair both at $988,045), the highest section in Forest Glen, with a range of $691,252 to $1,076,413, on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen. These are assessed values, not prices; the top of the range is the highest assessed home in Forest Glen.

The median 2026 preliminary roll estimate of taxes is $4,706.25, and 14 of the 18 homes (77.8%) carry a homestead exemption, the highest homestead share of any Forest Glen neighborhood. A high homestead share means many of these homes can carry a Save Our Homes gap, so a buyer’s tax bill can land well above the seller’s.

Who Jungle Plum West Fits

Jungle Plum West fits a buyer who wants the largest home and lot inside Forest Glen: 2,473 to 4,284 square feet on lots up to about 0.47 acre, with two association layers, inside a membership-inclusive golf community whose single-family values assess below its East Naples golf peers. It suits a buyer who can be patient, because 18 homes and no recorded sale in the window means supply is thin.

It is less suited to a buyer who wants newer construction (these homes date from 1999 and 2000) without planning for updates, or a buyer who needs to close on a fixed timeline.

What to Ask Before Buying in Jungle Plum West

Ask for the full permit history on roof, windows, shutters, pool and any additions, since these homes are the oldest single-family stock in Forest Glen, built before Florida’s first statewide building code took effect in 2002. Ask for a wind mitigation and four-point inspection, an elevation certificate if the lender or insurer requires it, and the lot survey.

Then ask for the master and Jungle Plum West budgets, the architectural and leasing rules, the recorded declaration, and the estoppel certificate. With so few sales, ask your agent to show the comp set behind any price, including sales outside Forest Glen, and how each was adjusted.

How to Choose Between Forest Glen’s Neighborhoods

Choose by home type first, then by association layers, then by building flood zone. Coach homes (Barrington, Bishopwood West) and garden homes (Bishopwood East) are two-story condominiums outside the milestone and SIRS laws; Britannia is the four-story elevator option and the only one under those laws; Periwinkle, Jungle Plum East and Jungle Plum West are fee-simple homes with two association layers instead of three.

By the numbers on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll for Forest Glen, the assessed ladder runs Britannia ($266,500), Bishopwood East ($310,485), Bishopwood West ($424,400), Barrington ($438,035), Periwinkle Villas ($443,048), Jungle Plum East ($657,833) and Jungle Plum West ($988,045). The recorded sale medians follow roughly the same order, from Britannia’s $337,000 to Jungle Plum East’s $835,000.

What Is Forest Glen Golf and Country Club?

Forest Glen Golf and Country Club is the private, member-owned club at the center of Forest Glen, a gated community of 799 homes in East Naples. The homeowners’ master association holds title to the golf course and clubhouse, and the club describes Forest Glen as a “gated, membership-inclusive community.” It opened in 1999 at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, Naples, FL 34114.

Data updated: September 2026

That one sentence from the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page is the single most important fact for anyone pricing, buying or selling a home here. The club is not a separate business that residents may or may not join. It is the same legal body as the community’s master association, it owns the land the golf course and clubhouse sit on, and its capital projects have been paid for by assessing every member. Everything that follows in this section is drawn from the club’s own public pages, the Florida Division of Corporations record for the master association, and Collier County’s parcel roll, read in September 2026.

Who Owns Forest Glen Golf and Country Club?

The homeowners own it, through Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc. Collier County’s parcel layer lists 17 parcels titled to the master association, about 578 acres in all, covering the golf course, the clubhouse site at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, the maintenance site, the road tract and all eight recorded preserve tracts, according to the Collier County query of parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association.

The master association is a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed on April 15, 1999, and it is active today, per the Florida Division of Corporations record for Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc. Its principal office has been the clubhouse since March 2005, and its 2026 annual report was filed with the state on February 20, 2026. The club and the association are the same body in practice: the club’s General Manager is listed as an officer on the association’s state record, and both use the clubhouse address.

In plain terms, the golf course and clubhouse are owned by the homeowners’ master association, and club membership comes with the home. No public record shows a separate club certificate or share that a member buys and sells apart from the home. What the records do show is ownership by the association that every Forest Glen owner belongs to.

Does Club Membership Come With a Forest Glen Home?

Yes, in the sense the club itself uses: membership is bundled with ownership. The club calls Forest Glen “membership-inclusive” on its Real Estate page, and when the master board funded a new outdoor dining facility in 2016 it assessed every member the same $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters on the quarterly dues statement, according to the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. An all-member assessment is how a bundled club pays for its projects.

The exact membership classes are set in the recorded declaration and the club’s own documents, which this page does not reproduce. The master association governs under the “Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Community,” first recorded at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955, in Collier County, per the 2009 amendment to the master association’s articles. If a detail of your membership matters to your decision, such as which privileges attach to your unit or how a second owner on title is treated, read that declaration and the club’s membership rules before you sign, and ask the club office at (239) 348-1332 to confirm in writing.

The club recognizes 799 residences as its membership base, the same count as the homes built under the county zoning cap, per the club’s Real Estate page.

What Membership Classes Does the Club Publish?

The club’s public pages name two classes that matter to renters: a golf membership and a social membership, each obtained through a transfer from the owner. An owner rental listing on the club’s own rental board says renters are “required to obtain a Golf Transfer or Social Transfer Membership,” per the owner rental listing for 3940 Loblolly Bay Drive #402 on the club board.

Owner listings on the club’s rental board state that the renter pays the club’s transfer fee. The club does not publish the amount, so we do not print one. Figures that circulate on agent websites and in search snippets for transfer fees, dues, initiation and capital contributions do not cite a club budget or association document, and they disagree with each other; we leave them out on purpose.

Can Renters Use Forest Glen Golf and Country Club?

Yes, through a transfer. Renters obtain golf or social privileges when the owner transfers the membership for the lease term, as described in owner listings on the Forest Glen properties for rent board. Demand for that arrangement is visible on the club’s own Rentals Wanted board, where repeat seasonal renters post requests for one to three month February and March stays and often ask specifically for a golf-inclusive rental.

For an owner, that means the golf privilege is part of what a seasonal tenant is paying for. For a buyer who plans to rent the home some months of the year, it means the association’s leasing rules and the club’s transfer rules both apply, and both belong on your due-diligence list before closing.

Who Runs the Club Day to Day?

A professional staff reporting to a resident board. The club publishes its leadership roles on its leadership and staff directory: General Manager; Assistant General Manager and Director of Golf; Controller; Membership and Employee Relations Coordinator; Executive Chef and Food and Beverage Director; Head Golf Professional; and Golf Course Superintendent. The General Manager holds the CCM, CCE and CAM credentials.

The board is resident-controlled. The master association’s articles allow an odd-numbered board of three to nine directors, and the 2026 annual report lists seven officer and director seats, all with Forest Glen home addresses, per the Florida Division of Corporations 2026 annual report for the master association. Residents took control of the master board by early 2005. No outside management company is listed for the association, so it appears to be self-managed by club staff.

What Is the Forest Glen Clubhouse Like?

The clubhouse was renovated and expanded in a project completed in October 2008, which the club says “expanded and elevated the space,” per its Real Estate page. The developer, The Ronto Group, described the original clubhouse at about 11,000 square feet on its Ronto Group project page for Forest Glen Golf and Country Club. We do not print a current square footage, because the larger figures that appear in owner listings and in a state tax-roll measure of mixed space are not a clubhouse floor area anyone has documented.

Inside, the club lists a computer station with Wi-Fi, and its member groups meet in a Community Building and a Tee Room, according to the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website and the club’s member clubs and activities page. The Main Clubhouse Dining Room is here, the resort-style pool sits beside it, and the Eagles Nest outdoor venue is steps away between the 9th and 18th holes. The 2008 clubhouse work finished two months before the redesigned golf course reopened on December 1, 2008, and a 2009 Naples Daily News neighborhood column written by a resident reported that the 799 households voted to renovate both.

What Are the Club’s Seasonal Hours?

The club runs a two-season calendar. From May 1 to October 18, the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays; in season the golf shop is open daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, per the club’s leadership and staff directory hours block. The fitness center is open 24 hours a day year round. Dining hours also change with the season, covered in full in the dining section below.

The practical read for a buyer: summer at Forest Glen is quieter and the club trims its days, while the October to April season is when the dining rooms, leagues and member groups run at full schedule.

What Does the Club Website Offer Members and Buyers?

More than most private clubs publish. The club’s site runs a member login, a staff directory, a Properties for Sale board, a Properties for Rent board, a Rentals Wanted board and an Open House list, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. Open houses are posted on Fridays and held Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 PM, according to the Forest Glen open house list.

That open-house list uses floor-plan names, not neighborhood names: for example Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow coach homes; Braxton and Cornell garden homes; and Berkshire, Carlisle, Clifton, Hickory and Magnolia condominium plans. Those are plans, not sub-communities. The seven recorded neighborhoods are Barrington, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West, Britannia, Periwinkle Villas, Jungle Plum East and Jungle Plum West, and a buyer comparing two listings should always map the plan name back to its neighborhood and its association.

For a seller, the club board is a real channel: owners post their own listings there at no cost. For a buyer, owner-posted text on those boards is a starting point, not a document. Several owner listings make claims about fees, gate staffing and golf access that no club or association record supports, and we treat them as owner statements only.

What Does the Club Publish, and What Does It Not?

The club publishes its hours, programs, staff roles, mission and real estate boards. It does not publish its dues, any capital contribution or fund fee, any food and beverage minimum, cart fees, its budget, its reserves or its financial statements on a public page; the club’s golf page and dining page sit behind the member login.

Dues are billed quarterly: the club’s own 2016 notice refers to “your quarterly dues” statement, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. Owners in the condominiums pay three layers (master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium), and owners of single-family homes and villas pay two (master and neighborhood); each layer’s amount is set in that association’s adopted budget.

The document that shows the exact numbers for a specific home is the estoppel certificate, which lists the dues, assessments and any transfer or capital charge owed at closing. Florida caps the fee an association may charge for an estoppel certificate at $299, plus $119 for expedited delivery and up to $179 more if the account is delinquent, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule. We order it early on every contract so the buyer sees real figures, not a guess.

One recorded limit helps a buyer judge assessment risk. The master declaration was amended and restated on May 14, 2010 and amended again on July 5, 2017, and the 2017 amendment sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to the Consumer Price Index from 2019, above which member approval rules apply, according to the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community. The authority copy of each instrument is in the Collier County Clerk’s Official Records.

Does the Club Host Nonmember Events?

Selectively, by its own stated policy. The club’s mission is “to be a financially sound common interest country club community,” and one of its stated goals is “selective profitable nonmember events that do not inconvenience the members,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The club does not publish a banquet price list or a list of outside events on its public pages. If you are planning an event as a nonmember, the clubhouse office at (239) 348-1332 is the place to ask.

What Do Reviewers Say About the Club?

How Big Is the Club’s Footprint?

About 578 acres of Forest Glen’s roughly 630 are titled to the master association in 17 parcels, per the Collier County query of parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association. That total is the course, the clubhouse, the maintenance site, the private roads and all eight preserve tracts, not the homes. It is why the club’s upkeep, and the preserve’s, sits on the same quarterly statement.

What Is the Forest Glen Golf Course Like?

The Forest Glen golf course is an 18-hole, par 72 private course that opened in 1999 on a Gordon Lewis layout, was redesigned by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest in 2008, and was refined by Ron Forse Design for the club’s 25th anniversary in 2024. The club lists the championship course at 6,820 yards, and golfers ranked Forest Glen No. 2 in Florida in 2023.

Data updated: September 2026

Three architects, two major renovations, a grass conversion in 2024, and a record of golfer-review rankings put Forest Glen among the most talked-about courses in East Naples. The details below come from the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website, the Florida State Golf Association course ratings and slope record for Forest Glen, and the ranking pages that published each award.

Who Designed the Original Forest Glen Course?

Gordon Lewis. “The Club opened in 1999, and the original course layout was by Gordon Lewis,” according to the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The course opened as the first homes were going up; Florida Department of Revenue records show every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005, so the golf course came first and the neighborhoods grew around it.

The land itself shaped the routing. The club describes the site as carved from a pine forest and former hunting preserve, and before development the ground sat about 8.8 to 11.0 feet above sea level, roughly half Keri fine sand and half cypress swamp soils, per the Collier County Board of County Commissioners agenda for the Forest Glen PUD amendment. That mix of high pine ground and wet cypress is why so much of the community stayed preserve, and why several holes play through it.

What Changed in the 2008 Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest Redesign?

The whole course. In 2008 the club brought in Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest to redesign and improve the layout, and it reopened on December 1, 2008 as the Arthur Hills Signature Golf Course, “built to USGA standards and featuring Sea Isle paspalum grass from tee to green,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. The clubhouse renovation finished two months earlier, in October 2008.

A 2009 Naples Daily News neighborhood column written by a resident reported that the 799 households voted for the renovation of the clubhouse and course, and it credited “the famed Arthur Hills architectural and Ryan Golf construction teams,” per the Naples Daily News column “Forest Glen surrounded by preserves, canals and golf course”. The 2008 layout is the course members play today, as refined in 2024.

Who Built the 2008 Renovation?

Ryan Golf. The contractor’s own project list shows Forest Glen Golf and Country Club, architect Arthur Hills, completed 2008, in the $1.5 million to $5 million range, per Ryan Golf’s golf renovation project list. That is a contractor’s cost band, not a club budget; the club does not publish what the 2008 work cost or how it was funded.

What Did Ron Forse Design Change in 2024?

For the club’s 25th anniversary in 2024, Forest Glen engaged Ron Forse Design to “further enhance the layout,” and the greens were converted to TifEagle, with TifGrand on the surrounds and approaches and Sea Isle Supreme paspalum kept throughout the remainder of the course, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The club describes the result as “a 6,820-yard Championship course that is playable for all levels of play.”

The cost of the 2024 project and how it was funded are not published on any public club page. If you are buying, ask for the board minutes or member notices that approved it, and confirm on the estoppel certificate that no related assessment is still being billed.

What Grass Is on the Forest Glen Course?

Three grasses, each in its own zone since 2024: TifEagle on the greens, TifGrand on the surrounds and approaches, and Sea Isle Supreme paspalum everywhere else, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. From the 2008 reopening until 2024 the course was Sea Isle paspalum tee to green, per the club’s Real Estate page.

Paspalum is a warm-season grass known for tolerating lower-quality irrigation water, which suits a course watered with reclaimed water (see the irrigation answer below). The 2024 change put a different grass on the putting surfaces than on the rest of the course, so greens and fairways are now managed as separate turf programs.

How Long Is the Course, and What Is Par?

The club lists its championship course at 6,820 yards; some golf directories still show an older 6,805-yard Black tee card. The course is 18 holes, par 72 (per GolfNow’s course listing). The Florida State Golf Association record for Forest Glen carries nine men’s tee sets, from Black down to a short Glen tee, including combination sets, so the same 18 holes can play as a demanding championship test or as a short, forgiving course.

An owner listing on the club’s rental board describes “6 tee boxes on every hole,” per the owner rental listing for 3970 Loblolly Bay Drive #403 on the club board. That is an owner statement, but it fits the rating record: roughly six tee colors plus hybrid combinations.

What Are the Course Ratings and Slope by Tee?

The current USGA Course and Slope Ratings on file with the Florida State Golf Association, the body that rates Florida courses, run from 73.8 / 146 at the Black tees (men) down to 59.6 / 104 at the Glen tees (men), per the Florida State Golf Association course ratings and slope record for Forest Glen, read in September 2026. The FSGA record does not list yardage, so the yardage column below is per GolfNow’s listing, which carries the older Black card and predates the current ratings; treat it as approximate.

Older, superseded rating sets still appear on some golf directories; the FSGA figures above are the current ones and supersede them.

How Should a Golfer Read Those Numbers?

A slope of 146 from the Black tees puts Forest Glen’s back tees firmly in the demanding range; the USGA scale runs from 55 to 155, with 113 as the reference for a course of standard difficulty. From the Glen tees the slope drops to 104 for men and 107 for women, easier than standard. The Gold tees for women (77.8 / 149) are the hardest rating on the card, and the Forest and White tees sit in the middle for most club golfers.

The spread matters for resale as much as for play. A course that plays at 146 from the tips and near 104 from the front can serve a low handicap and a brand-new golfer in the same foursome, which is exactly what the club means by “playable for all levels,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website.

What Is the Practice Facility Like?

The updated practice facility has “a large putting green, designated short game area and multiple hitting bays on the driving range,” according to the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The golf shop, at (239) 354-1898, runs lessons through the Head Golf Professional, a role listed on the club’s leadership and staff directory.

How Much of the Course Runs Through Preserve?

A lot, by Naples standards. A 2009 resident column in the Naples Daily News described “7 holes that wind through the preserves with no homes bordering the golf course,” per the Naples Daily News column on Forest Glen’s preserves, canals and golf course. The column was written the year after the 2008 redesign; the 2024 work refined the layout, and the club has not published an updated count of preserve holes.

The reason is the land plan. About 352 acres of native vegetation are under preservation in eight recorded preserve tracts, more than half of Forest Glen, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025. The club’s site map draws the large preserve along the east side of the community and lakes throughout the course. For golfers that means quiet holes framed by pine and cypress rather than back patios; for homeowners it means a large share of the course is not visible from any house at all.

What Awards Has the Forest Glen Course Won?

Two verified golfer-review honors stand out. Golfer reviews on Golf Advisor (now GolfPass) ranked Forest Glen No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016, per GolfPass’s Top 25 course conditions in the U.S. in 2016, and No. 2 in Florida in the Golfers’ Choice 2023 list, which drew on 69,738 reviews of 518 Florida courses, per GolfPass’s Golfers’ Choice 2023: Best golf courses in Florida.

GolfPass’s course page also lists Forest Glen in its Top Courses in Florida lists in 2015, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023 (No. 4 in 2023), per the GolfPass course page for Forest Glen Golf and Country Club. Some owner listings make broader ranking claims that match no published list; the verifiable No. 1 is the 2016 course-conditions ranking above.

These are golfer-review rankings, not panel rankings by a magazine’s architecture raters. They measure what golfers who played the course thought of its conditions and experience, which is a fair signal of how well the grounds crew and the Golf Course Superintendent keep the property.

What Do Golfers Rate Forest Glen Today?

GolfNow’s course listing showed a 4.7 of 5 golfer rating on 957 reviews, with 91.2% of reviewers recommending the course, when we checked in September 2026. That rating comes from golfers who booked and reviewed a round, so it sits alongside the GolfPass rankings above as the same kind of evidence: golfer opinion, gathered at scale.

How Fast Is Pace of Play?

The club uses a GPS pace-of-play system, and the vendor’s 2022 case study reported January and February average rounds falling from about 4 hours 17 minutes in 2020 to about 4 hours 4 minutes in 2021, per the Tagmarshal case study on Forest Glen pace of play. Those are peak-season months, when tee sheets at Naples clubs are fullest. The study is a vendor document, and the figures are five seasons old; ask the golf shop for current pace targets.

Can the Public Play the Forest Glen Golf Course?

Forest Glen is a private club, but the answer is not a flat no. Although private, the course appears on public tee-time marketplaces and qualified for GolfPass’s public-access “Golfers’ Choice” rankings, which require public access, per GolfPass’s Golfers’ Choice 2023: Best golf courses in Florida. The club does not publish its public-play or guest policy on a public page.

We do not print dates or green-fee prices, because the only sources for them are owner text and search-result modules, not club policy. If you want to play before you buy, call the golf shop at (239) 354-1898 and ask what is available that week; if you are touring with us, ask us and we will arrange it through the club.

How Do Members Book Tee Times?

Through the club’s member-only system. The Forest Glen golf page redirects to the member login, which is where tee times are booked. In season the golf shop is open daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, and from May 1 to October 18 the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays, per the club’s leadership and staff directory.

Can I Keep My Own Golf Cart?

Possibly, depending on the neighborhood. An owner listing hosted on the club site says garden-home owners on Bishopwood Ct East may keep private golf carts, per the owner for-sale listing for 3993 Bishopwood Ct East #204 on the club board. That is an owner statement, not a club rule. Private-cart rules, trail fees and storage are set by the club and the neighborhood associations; confirm them in writing for the specific home.

How Is the Course Irrigated?

With reclaimed water. The South Florida Water Management District listed Forest Glen with 127 irrigated golf acres on reclaimed water under a 2010 water use permit, per the South Florida Water Management District Lower West Coast water supply plan appendix. Reclaimed water is treated wastewater reused for irrigation, and it keeps the course off the potable supply during Southwest Florida’s dry season. We do not print a single “golf course acreage,” because the district’s irrigated figure and the county’s zoning land-use table measure different things.

How Does the Forest Glen Course Fit Among East Naples Golf Communities?

Forest Glen sits directly across Collier Boulevard from two other bundled golf communities, Cedar Hammock and Naples Heritage, and a few minutes from Naples Lakes Country Club. What sets Forest Glen apart on the record is the share of preserve on its land (about 352 of about 630 acres) and a golfer-review ranking history that includes a national No. 1 for conditions. For the wider field, see our guide to Naples golf communities.

Does Forest Glen Have a Marina or Beach Access?

No. Forest Glen has no marina, boat slips, private boat ramp or beach club; every master association parcel is inland, east of Collier Boulevard. Forest Glen residents reach the water by car: the nearest public boat ramp is about 20 minutes south, the beach at the Naples Pier about 18 minutes west, and Marco Island about 27 to 28 minutes, all measured without traffic.

Data updated: September 2026

We state the absence first because it is the question buyers most often get wrong about East Naples golf communities. Forest Glen is an inland golf and preserve community, and its water is lakes and wetlands, not Gulf access. What it does have is a short, direct run down Collier Boulevard to the county’s busiest boat ramp and to Marco Island, and a reasonable drive west to the Naples beaches. Drive times below are free-flow routes on OpenStreetMap roads from the Forest Glen Boulevard gate at Collier Boulevard, per the OSRM route from the Forest Glen gate to downtown Naples and companion routes; add time in season (January to April) on Collier Boulevard, Davis Boulevard and US 41.

Is There a Marina, Boat Slip or Beach Club in Forest Glen?

No. Every one of the 17 parcels titled to the master association is an inland parcel east of Collier Boulevard, per the Collier County parcel layer for the Forest Glen master association, and no public club page lists a marina, dock, boat ramp or beach club among the amenities on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The lakes drawn on the club’s site map sit inside the golf course and neighborhoods and appear to be part of the community’s stormwater system; none connects to navigable water on any public map we reviewed.

If you plan to own a boat, ask the association in writing where, if anywhere, a boat or trailer may be kept, and get the answer before you write the offer.

Where Is the Nearest Boat Ramp to Forest Glen?

Collier Boulevard Boating Park, at 3620 Collier Blvd, about 11.9 miles and 20 minutes straight down Collier Boulevard without traffic. It has two ramps, no fuel, and is open sunrise to sunset, per Collier Parks’ Collier Boulevard Boating Park page. The park sits on the east side of Collier Boulevard just north of the Marco Island bridge, so it puts a trailered boat in the water at the Marco Island bridge. County Parks notes it gets crowded in season; arrive early.

For a Forest Glen owner the route is about as simple as a Naples boat-ramp run gets: turn south out of the main gate and stay on Collier Boulevard.

What About Collier-Seminole State Park?

Collier-Seminole State Park, at 20200 Tamiami Trail E, has a boat ramp to the Blackwater River and a 13.5-mile canoe trail, about 14.5 miles and 21 minutes away; entry is $5 per vehicle, per Florida State Parks’ Collier-Seminole State Park page. The park covers 7,271 acres, with camping and the 1924 Bay City Walking Dredge landmark. It is the closest launch for paddlers and small boats heading into the mangrove backcountry.

How Far Is the Beach From Forest Glen?

Naples Municipal Beach at the pier, 25 12th Ave S, is about 9.4 miles and 18 minutes from the Forest Glen gate without traffic, per the City of Naples Naples Pier page and the OSRM route from the Forest Glen entrance to the Naples Pier. Downtown Naples at Fifth Avenue South is about 8 miles and 14 to 15 minutes, so a beach afternoon and dinner in Old Naples fit in the same trip.

The club’s own site says Forest Glen is “a 15 minute drive to the Gulf Beaches and downtown Naples.” That holds for downtown; the beach at the pier measured about 18 minutes free-flow.

Is the Naples Pier Open?

The Naples Pier itself is closed for a rebuild that began January 6, 2026 and is expected to take about 18 months; the beach at the pier stays open, per the City of Naples Naples Pier Rebuild Project page. The closure covers the pier, its stairs, restrooms and showers, and part of the pier parking lot, and beach access runs around the work zone at Broad Avenue South and 13th Avenue South. The city reported in September 2026 that the contractor had passed the halfway mark on the pier concrete pour.

How Far Is Marco Island From Forest Glen?

Marco Island is about 15 miles straight down Collier Boulevard, roughly 27 to 28 minutes without traffic. Tigertail Beach on Marco Island, at 480 Hernando Dr, is about 15.8 miles and 28 minutes away free-flow, per Collier Parks’ Tigertail Beach Park page. Tigertail has concessions, a playground and restrooms and is open 8 AM to sunset; without a resident permit, parking is $10.

For more on the island’s beaches, dining and neighborhoods, see our Marco Island guide.

What About Clam Pass and Delnor-Wiggins Pass?

Both are north Naples beaches, each about 18 to 24 minutes from the gate. Clam Pass Park, at 465 Seagate Dr, has a three-quarter-mile boardwalk through mangroves and a free tram to the sand, about 11.5 miles and 18 minutes away, per Collier Parks’ Clam Pass Park page. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, at 11135 Gulfshore Dr, is about 16.5 miles and 24 minutes away; entry is $6 per vehicle, per Florida State Parks’ Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park page. Delnor-Wiggins also has a boat launch to the Cocohatchee River.

Distances and times are free-flow OSRM routes from the Forest Glen main entrance, measured in September 2026; in season, add time.

How Do Forest Glen Residents Get a Beach Parking Permit?

Collier County residents can get a free beach parking permit with proof of residency; without it, Tigertail and Clam Pass charge $10 to park, per Collier Parks’ beach parking information page. Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, so a Forest Glen owner qualifies for the county permit on the same terms as any county resident. State parks such as Delnor-Wiggins and Collier-Seminole charge their own per-vehicle entry fees.

Our guide to Naples beach parking covers which lots honor the county permit, where the city meters are, and how to apply.

What Is Rookery Bay, and How Close Is It?

Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve’s Environmental Learning Center, at 300 Tower Rd, is about 6.9 miles and 11 minutes away, and the reserve covers about 110,000 acres of mangrove estuary, per the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve visit page. The center has a 2,300-gallon aquarium and exhibits, and it is closed in September. It is the closest place to Forest Glen to see the mangrove estuary up close.

Is There a Freshwater Beach Nearby?

Yes, at Sugden Regional Park, 4284 Avalon Dr, about 7.6 miles away. Its 60-acre Lake Avalon has one of Collier County’s only freshwater beaches, plus sailing and ski centers and a walking path, per Collier Parks’ Sugden Regional Park page. For more parks near East Naples, see our guide to Collier County parks.

What Does No Marina Mean for a Forest Glen Buyer?

It means you are buying golf and preserve, not water access, and the price reflects it. If boating is central to how you want to live in Naples, compare Forest Glen with a waterfront community before you decide; if boating is an occasional weekend, a 20-minute run to a two-ramp county park is a workable routine. We will tell you which way the numbers point for your plans.

What Tennis, Pickleball and Bocce Does Forest Glen Offer?

Forest Glen offers four dedicated, lighted pickleball courts, four tennis courts beside the clubhouse with a USPTA-led program, and league bocce on new clay courts. Forest Glen’s pickleball players compete in the East Naples Pickleball Inter-League, the tennis program runs organized play five mornings a week in season, and bocce runs fall and spring leagues four nights a week.

All three programs are run by the club and posted on its public activity pages, which is where the details below come from: the Forest Glen pickleball program page, the Forest Glen 2024 to 2025 tennis program flyer and the Forest Glen bocce leagues page.

How Many Pickleball Courts Does Forest Glen Have?

Four dedicated, lighted pickleball courts with USTA-standard fencing, per the Forest Glen pickleball program page. “Dedicated” is the point: the pickleball courts are their own courts, not lines painted on tennis courts, so tennis and pickleball players are not competing for the same surface. Lights mean evening play in the months when midday Naples heat makes afternoon games hard work.

What Pickleball Programs Does the Club Run?

A full ladder from first clinic to inter-club team play. The program runs daily open play, instructional clinics and private lessons, social mixers, IntraClub play within Forest Glen, and InterClub teams in the East Naples Pickleball Inter-League, with Division I for players rated 3.5 and above and Division II for 3.0 to 3.49, per the Forest Glen pickleball program page. Balls are complimentary and loaner paddles are available, so a new resident or a house guest can try the game without buying equipment. A seven-member member committee runs the program and publishes a newsletter.

What Is the Tennis Program Like?

Tennis is led by a USPTA professional, with organized play Tuesday to Saturday from 8 to 10 AM in season, walk-on play otherwise, and private and group lessons, per the Forest Glen 2024 to 2025 tennis program flyer. The morning program needs no sign-up; players show up and are placed in games. The 2024 to 2025 program kicked off the week of November 19, so the organized program follows the club’s October to April season.

How Many Tennis Courts Are There?

The club’s own site map shows four tennis courts beside the clubhouse, run as a USPTA-led program; the club does not publish surface or lighting details on its public pages, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map. Older descriptions of the courts’ surface and lights come from a 2009 column and owner listings, not from the club, so we do not repeat them as current facts. If court surface matters to your game, walk the courts on a showing.

How Does Bocce Work at Forest Glen?

Bocce at Forest Glen is league play on the club’s new clay courts, with the courts reserved for leagues Sunday to Wednesday from 4 to 9 PM in season, per the Forest Glen bocce leagues page. The nights are split by format: mixed leagues on Sunday and Monday, men’s night on Tuesday and ladies’ night on Wednesday. Teams run six to ten players, and a seven-member committee organizes the season. The club describes the surface as “clay surface on our new courts,” and we quote it as written. The club does not publish a court count.

What Is the 2026 to 2027 Bocce Calendar?

Two seasons. Fall registration runs October 5 to 7, 2026, with matches October 11 to November 18; spring registration runs January 4 to 6, 2027, with matches January 10 to March 18 and playoffs March 21 to 25, per the Forest Glen 2026 to 2027 bocce league flyer. A buyer closing in December can still register for the spring league in the first week of January.

Where Are the Courts?

The tennis, pickleball and bocce courts appear to be grouped together just west of the clubhouse pool. The club’s site map draws the tennis courts beside the clubhouse, and OpenStreetMap maps the court complex (four tennis, four pickleball and three bocce features) immediately west of the pool, per the OpenStreetMap record of the clubhouse court complex. That is a mapped layout, not a club inventory, but the practical point holds: courts, pool, fitness and dining sit in one walkable cluster around the clubhouse.

Is Indoor Pickleball Coming Next to Forest Glen?

Possibly, on the commercial corner outside the gates. A petition to amend the Forest Glen PUD (PL20240010278) was scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2026. It would allow up to 36,720 square feet of indoor-only membership sports and recreation club space (for example indoor pickleball) within the existing 100,000 square foot cap on the 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards, and remove that tract’s Collier Boulevard access, per the Collier BCC legal ad for the Forest Glen of Naples PUD amendment. The Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously on July 17, 2025. The adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched, and any such facility would be a separate private business, not a Forest Glen club amenity.

Where Else Can Forest Glen Residents Play?

The nearest county courts are at Donna Fiala Eagle Lakes Community Park, 11565 Tamiami Trail E, about 8.1 miles and 13 minutes away, which has lighted tennis courts, an aquatic complex and fields, per Collier Parks’ Donna Fiala Eagle Lakes Community Park page. For the full county picture, see our guide to tennis and pickleball in Collier County.

What Fitness, Pool and Social Amenities Does Forest Glen Have?

Forest Glen has a fitness center open 24 hours a day, a clubhouse pool with poolside service from Eagles Nest, water aerobics three mornings a week, a paved nature trail of about 1.9 miles through the preserve, and a calendar of member groups from mahjong and duplicate bridge to a book club and fiber arts. Some Forest Glen neighborhoods also have their own association pools.

The amenities cluster around the clubhouse at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, and the preserve trail runs along the community’s eastern side. The facts below come from the club’s leadership and staff directory, its member clubs and activities page, its official home page and its site map, read in September 2026.

Is the Forest Glen Fitness Center Open 24 Hours?

Yes. The fitness center is open 24 hours a day, in season and in summer, per the club’s leadership and staff directory hours block. It means early risers and night owls are not locked out by clubhouse hours. The club does not publish an equipment list on its public pages; tour the room on a showing. Owner listings mention an upcoming fitness update, but the club has not announced one publicly, so we do not report it.

What Is the Clubhouse Pool Like?

The clubhouse has a resort pool with poolside service from Eagles Nest, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website, which describes tropical drinks served “at our poolside al fresco dining, Eagles Nest.” The pool sits beside the clubhouse and the court complex, so one person can swim while another plays pickleball and a third has lunch, all within a short walk.

When Is Water Aerobics?

Water aerobics meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 AM at the clubhouse pool, per the club’s member clubs and activities page. It is one of the club’s standing member groups, not a paid class schedule, and it is a common first activity for new owners meeting neighbors.

Do Individual Neighborhoods Have Their Own Pools?

Some do. Some Forest Glen neighborhoods have their own association pools; confirm for a specific building in its association documents. An owner rental listing on the club’s board mentions a neighborhood pool, per the owner rental listing for 3970 Loblolly Bay Drive #403 on the club board. We do not publish a pool count, because the counts in owner listings are not backed by a club or association inventory. A neighborhood pool is maintained by that neighborhood’s association, so its upkeep shows up in that association’s budget, not the club’s.

What Card Games and Table Games Do Members Play?

Mahjong meets Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 PM year round; Duplicate Bridge plays Mondays from November to April; Men’s Bridge plays Tuesdays; and the club lists Men’s Poker and card games, per the member clubs and activities page and the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The Duplicate Bridge sign-up sheet hangs on the board above the computer in the Community Building. Mahjong’s year-round schedule is worth noting: it is one of the few groups that keeps meeting through summer.

Is There a Book Club or Arts Group?

Yes. The club lists a Book Club with a published 2026 to 2027 schedule, and a Fiber Arts group that meets in the Tee Room, per the club’s member clubs and activities page. The Tee Room and the Community Building are the two named rooms member groups use at the clubhouse.

How Long Is the Forest Glen Nature Trail?

The club’s site map marks a paved nature trail through the preserve in three legs of 0.89, 0.59 and 0.38 miles, about 1.9 miles combined, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map. The club describes it as “a paved path through the preserve” for walking, jogging and biking. Longer mileages quoted in an old column and in owner listings are not on any club or plat source, so we use the map’s figures.

The trail runs through the reason Forest Glen feels the way it does: about 352 acres of native vegetation are under preservation in eight recorded preserve tracts, more than half the community, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025.

What Should Residents Know About Wildlife?

That it is part of daily life, and it deserves respect. In July 2023 a man walking in the 3800 block of Forest Glen Boulevard was bitten by an alligator of nearly 7 feet and airlifted, per the Naples Daily News report on the Forest Glen Boulevard alligator bite. The club’s site map shows lakes throughout the course and neighborhoods and a large preserve along the east side, which is habitat as much as scenery.

The standard Florida rules apply: keep distance from lake edges, especially at dawn and dusk; keep pets on a short leash near water; never feed wildlife. Owners also live beside a real wildland edge; during the Newman Road Fire in April 2026, Forest Glen was included in evacuation alerts before they were lifted, as covered in the storm and wildfire sections of this page.

Is There a Community Computer Station or Meeting Space?

Yes. The clubhouse includes a computer station with Wi-Fi, a Community Building and a Tee Room used by member groups, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website and the club’s member clubs and activities page.

What Sports and Recreation Are Just Outside the Gate?

Paradise Coast Sports Complex, at 3940 City Gate Blvd N, is about 2 miles and 5 minutes away, with professional-level synthetic turf fields and The Cove, a food-truck and beer-and-wine bar, per the Paradise Coast Sports Complex venue page. It hosts travel soccer, lacrosse and football tournaments and FC Naples matches. South Regional Library, at 8065 Lely Cultural Pkwy, is about 3.6 miles and 6 minutes away, per the Collier County Public Library South Regional Branch page.

Where Do Forest Glen Residents Dine?

Forest Glen residents dine first at their own club: the Main Clubhouse Dining Room and Eagles Nest, the outdoor venue between the 9th and 18th holes with poolside service. Outside the gate, the Collier Boulevard and Davis Boulevard interchange has everyday restaurants within about a mile, and downtown Naples on Fifth Avenue South is about 14 to 15 minutes away.

Data updated: September 2026

Both club venues are run by the club’s Executive Chef and Food and Beverage Director, a role listed on the club’s leadership and staff directory. The club’s dining page is behind the member login, so menus and any food and beverage minimum are not public; hours and venues are, and they are laid out below.

What Is the Main Clubhouse Dining Room?

The Main Clubhouse Dining Room is the club’s indoor restaurant, open for dinner on Monday and Friday evenings from October to April, and on Tuesday and Friday evenings from 5 PM from May to September, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website and the club’s leadership and staff directory. In season the two nights have distinct formats: Monday is Happy Hour Dining and Friday is Club Dining, both from 4 to 8 PM.

The dining room sits in the clubhouse renovated and expanded in 2008. It is the venue for the more formal evenings, while Eagles Nest carries lunch and casual dinner.

What Is Eagles Nest?

Eagles Nest is the club’s outdoor dining venue, “nestled between Hole #9 and Hole #18, just steps from the clubhouse,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. Its location is the draw: golfers finishing the front nine or the round walk straight to a table, and it also serves the pool. In season Eagles Nest serves lunch daily from 11 AM to 4 PM and dinner nightly from 5 to 8 PM, per the club’s leadership and staff directory, which makes it the club’s everyday restaurant.

How Do Club Dining Hours Change Between Season and Summer?

Both venues keep a full schedule from October to April and a trimmed one from May to September, when the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse also close on Mondays (May 1 to October 18), per the club’s leadership and staff directory.

Hours are the club’s published schedule as of September 2026; holiday and event nights vary, and members see current menus behind the login.

Where Did Eagles Nest Come From?

It appears to be the product of a 2016 member-funded project. In 2016 the master board approved a $949,376 outdoor dining facility (plus $80,000 contingency), voting 6 to 1 on May 12, and assessed every member $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters on the quarterly dues statement, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. Construction was planned for May to late 2017.

The notice does not name the venue, and the club has not published a 2017 opening announcement, so the link to today’s Eagles Nest is our reading of the evidence: a casual outdoor venue beside the clubhouse, built in 2017, and Eagles Nest is the club’s casual outdoor venue beside the clubhouse. The assessment is history, not a current charge. It matters to a buyer for what it shows: at Forest Glen, a major club project is paid for by assessing every member the same amount.

Is There Poolside Food and Drink Service?

Yes. The club describes “poolside dining” and tropical drinks served at Eagles Nest, its “poolside al fresco dining,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. Poolside service follows Eagles Nest’s hours in the table above.

Where Can Forest Glen Residents Eat Outside the Gate?

Just outside the gate, the Collier Boulevard and Davis Boulevard interchange at I-75 Exit 101 has everyday dining, including Cracker Barrel at 3845 Tollgate Blvd, a 24-hour Waffle House, Chili’s and several fast-food restaurants, all within about a mile, per mapped features on OpenStreetMap, Cracker Barrel on Tollgate Boulevard, OpenStreetMap, the Waffle House at the interchange and OpenStreetMap, Chili’s near the Walmart plaza. Cracker Barrel is about 0.9 mile and 2 minutes from the main entrance. Those are mapped features, not a restaurant directory, so check current hours before you go.

For a night out, downtown Naples is the destination: Fifth Avenue South, which “stretches from Tamiami Trail to the Gulf of Mexico in Old Naples,” is about 8 miles and 14 to 15 minutes away without traffic, per Fifth Avenue South, Old Naples and the OSRM route from the Forest Glen gate to downtown Naples. Waterside Shops (about 11.5 miles, 18 minutes) and Mercato (about 13.7 miles, 22 minutes) add north Naples restaurant rows. For our picks across the county, see our guide to Naples restaurants.

For groceries and takeout, Walmart Supercenter at 9885 Collier Blvd is 0.6 mile and about a minute away, and Publix at Naples Lakes Village Center, 8585 Collier Blvd, is 2.6 miles and 5 minutes, per Publix Naples Lakes Village Center.

Selling a Forest Glen home? A walk to Eagles Nest and a short drive to Fifth Avenue South is a lifestyle buyers pay for, and we market it that way. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or request a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home. Buying? Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and see how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.

What Clubs and Events Happen in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen runs a steady member calendar through the club: standing groups for mahjong, duplicate and men’s bridge, poker, a book club, fiber arts and water aerobics; pickleball, tennis and bocce leagues; and social events posted on the club’s events channels. Forest Glen’s calendar peaks from November to April, and several groups, including mahjong, meet year round.

The club publishes its groups on its club activities page and the member clubs and activities page, and it runs a public events page on Facebook. Member-only details, such as sign-up sheets and event menus, sit behind the member login.

What Member Groups Meet at Forest Glen?

Seven standing groups are listed on the club’s public pages: a Book Club, Mahjong (Wednesdays and Fridays at 1 PM, year round), Duplicate Bridge (Mondays, November to April), Men’s Bridge (Tuesdays), a Fiber Arts group in the Tee Room, Men’s Poker and card games, per the club’s member clubs and activities page and the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. Water aerobics meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9 AM at the clubhouse pool.

What Racquet Leagues Can Members Join?

Pickleball runs IntraClub play inside Forest Glen and InterClub teams in the East Naples Pickleball Inter-League, Division I for 3.5 and above and Division II for 3.0 to 3.49, plus daily open play and social mixers, per the Forest Glen pickleball program page. Tennis runs organized morning play Tuesday to Saturday from 8 to 10 AM in season under a USPTA professional, per the Forest Glen 2024 to 2025 tennis program flyer. Both programs are member-run by committee with club staff support.

When Are the Bocce Seasons?

Fall and spring. For 2026 to 2027, fall registration runs October 5 to 7 with matches October 11 to November 18, and spring registration runs January 4 to 6 with matches January 10 to March 18 and playoffs March 21 to 25, per the Forest Glen 2026 to 2027 bocce league flyer. League nights are Sunday to Wednesday, 4 to 9 PM, with mixed, men’s and ladies’ nights, and the Forest Glen bocce leagues page posts past playoff winners.

Where Does the Club Post Its Social Calendar?

In three places. Member-only event details live behind the login on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website; the club’s public activity pages carry standing groups and league flyers; and a club events page on Facebook publishes social events, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Events page on Facebook. The pickleball program also runs its own member newsletter. If you are considering a purchase, the Facebook events page is the easiest public window into what a typical season looks like.

Does the Club Host Events for Nonmembers?

On a limited basis, by stated policy: one of the club’s goals is “selective profitable nonmember events that do not inconvenience the members,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The club does not publish an outside-events calendar or rates on its public pages; the clubhouse office at (239) 348-1332 handles inquiries.

How Does the Club Remember Its Members?

The club keeps an In Memoriam page for members, listed by year from 2017 to 2026, per the Forest Glen In Memoriam page. We do not reproduce names from it. It is a small detail that says something about the place: in a community of 799 homes built around one club, members know one another, and the club marks their passing.

How Has Forest Glen Fared in Hurricanes?

Forest Glen has come through Irma (2017), Ian (2022) and Milton (2024) with no published record of storm flooding or storm damage inside the community. Its exposure has been wind and rain, not surge: the nearest official gauges logged a 106-knot gust and 11.46 inches of rain in Irma, while Ian’s surge stayed south and west of US 41, about 5 miles away.

That short answer rests on the nearest official instruments, not on a weather station inside the gates, because there is none. The National Hurricane Center’s report on Hurricane Irma, the National Hurricane Center’s report on Hurricane Ian, the National Weather Service Miami Hurricane Ian summary and the National Hurricane Center’s report on Hurricane Milton are the primary records. What follows reads each storm against Forest Glen’s location at the southeast corner of Collier Boulevard and Beck Boulevard, just south of Interstate 75, in unincorporated Collier County.

What Did Hurricane Irma Do Near Forest Glen in 2017?

Irma brought hurricane-force gusts and very heavy rain to the Forest Glen area, not storm surge. Irma made its final landfall near Marco Island on September 10, 2017 as a Category 3 hurricane with estimated maximum winds of 100 knots and a minimum pressure of 936 millibars, then tracked just east of Naples as a Category 2, according to the National Hurricane Center’s Irma report.

Two instruments in that report sit close to Forest Glen:

• Collier County Emergency Operations Center, about 2.5 miles south: 71-knot sustained wind (about 82 mph) and a 106-knot gust (about 122 mph).
• The Naples 7 E rain gauge, about 1.7 miles north: 11.46 inches of total rain.

For context, the same report logged a 123-knot gust at Naples Municipal Airport, farther west. The NHC summarized Collier County’s damage as “heavy tree and power pole damage in Marco Island, Golden Gate, and portions of Naples,” with at least 88 buildings destroyed and 1,500 badly damaged countywide. Irma’s surge, 3 to 5 feet above ground along the coast from Marco Island through Naples, did not reach inland East Naples. The best reading for Forest Glen is a hard wind and rain event on the order of what the county’s own EOC measured a few miles away.

What Did Hurricane Ian Do Near Forest Glen in 2022?

Ian’s storm surge flooded coastal Collier County but stopped well short of Forest Glen. The National Weather Service Miami Ian summary reported “significant to major storm surge flooding” covering “almost all of Collier County south/west of Tamiami Trail/US 41.” Forest Glen sits about 5 miles north of US 41, outside that described surge area.

Ian’s wind reached Forest Glen’s part of the county at a lower level than Irma’s peak. The same NWS summary put inland near-surface gusts “likely in the 80-90 mph range” and recorded 58 mph sustained and an 89 mph gust at an East Naples weather station. It described wind damage as “mainly confined to trees/fences/screens, with minor wind damage to vulnerable structures.” Ian made landfall on Cayo Costa in Lee County on September 28, 2022 at 130 knots, per the National Hurricane Center’s Ian report, which also recorded 6 to 9 feet of inundation in Naples and more than 3,500 buildings with major damage in Collier County. None of that report’s surge description names inland East Naples.

What Did Hurricanes Helene and Milton Do in 2024?

Both 2024 storms were far milder at Forest Glen’s location than Irma or Ian. The National Hurricane Center’s Milton report logged 39-knot sustained winds (about 45 mph), a 51-knot gust (about 59 mph) and 2.16 inches of rain at the county EOC on October 9 and 10, 2024. Milton’s surge of 3 to 5 feet ran from Bonita Beach through Marco Island along the coast.

Helene passed well offshore in late September 2024. The National Hurricane Center’s Helene report recorded 2 to 4 feet of surge inundation in Naples, Marco Island and Everglades City. Neither report names inland East Naples damage.

Before Milton, Collier County’s voluntary precautionary evacuation covered Zones A and B, mobile homes and properties with a history of storm flooding, according to NBC’s report on the Milton evacuation orders. Forest Glen, in Zone D, was not included.

Is There Any Record of Storm Damage Inside Forest Glen?

No county, news or association record we reviewed describes storm flooding or storm damage inside Forest Glen. That is a statement about the public record, not a guarantee: the records that would show smaller damage (roof and screen-enclosure permits filed after each storm, the county’s post-storm damage assessment maps, association board minutes) are building-specific and were not part of this review.

One older resident account is on the record. A 2009 Naples Daily News resident column on Forest Glen recalled Hurricane Wilma in 2005 downing trees that blocked paths. With more than half the community in preserve, downed trees are the kind of storm cleanup a buyer should expect, and the master association’s budget and reserves are where that cost shows up.

A buyer who wants the storm history of a specific building should ask the seller and the association for any post-storm insurance claims, special assessments and repair permits since 2017.

What Hurricane Evacuation Zone Is Forest Glen In?

Collier County places Forest Glen in hurricane evacuation Zone D. Every point we tested inside the community returned Zone D on the Collier County hurricane evacuation zone layer (last edited August 20, 2026), and the Florida Division of Emergency Management statewide evacuation zone layer agrees.

Collier’s evacuation map has six zones, A through F. Zone A is ordered out first in a storm; Zone D is reached only in a larger storm. Anyone can confirm an address with the state’s Florida “Know Your Zone” lookup.

Does Zone D Mean Forest Glen Has No Surge Risk?

No. Zone D is an evacuation line, not a promise. Collier County places Forest Glen in hurricane evacuation Zone D. The state’s regional storm-surge planning layer, which models the worst case for each storm category, includes the area inside its Category 3 surge zone. Follow county evacuation orders by zone; do not read Zone D as “no surge risk under any storm.”

The two maps answer different questions. Evacuation zones are policy boundaries drawn along roads so that emergency managers can issue clear orders. The Florida regional storm surge zone layer is built from the National Hurricane Center’s “maximum of maximums” SLOSH model runs, which stack the worst modeled surge from many hypothetical tracks of a given strength. It is a planning envelope for a severe Category 3 storm on a bad track, not a forecast and not a record of any past storm. In Irma, Ian, Helene and Milton, the surge described in the federal reports stayed on the coast.

How High Is the Ground in Forest Glen?

Ground in Forest Glen samples at about 9.3 to 13.4 feet above sea level (NAVD88), mostly 11.4 to 13.4 feet, on the USGS elevation point query service. The lowest sample, 9.3 feet, is a road point on Jungle Plum Drive West; the highest, 13.4 feet, is near the Beck Boulevard end of Periwinkle Way.

Surveyed building sites run higher than the lowest road points. FEMA’s 2012 Letters of Map Amendment recorded lowest adjacent grades of 12.0 to 13.8 feet at Barrington, Bishopwood and Jungle Plum East buildings, and the one county-held Elevation Certificate inside Forest Glen shows a finished floor at 13.0 feet (see the flood section below). Before development the county’s PUD file describes the land at 8.8 to 11.0 feet, draining to Henderson Creek through the Collier Boulevard canal, per the Collier Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for the Forest Glen PUD amendment.

What Wind Speed Are Forest Glen Homes Designed For?

The Florida Building Code design wind speed for homes here is 163 mph (Risk Category II), inside the wind-borne debris region. That figure comes from the Collier County Florida Building Code 8th Edition wind speed layer, which returned the same value at every Forest Glen point tested.

The same county layers show 150 mph for Risk Category I structures and about 175 mph for Risk Category III. Risk Category II covers ordinary residences and condominiums, so 163 mph is the number that applies to new work and replacements on Forest Glen homes under the current 2023 Florida Building Code, Chapter 16, Structural Design. It is an ultimate design wind speed used by engineers, not a prediction of any storm.

Do Forest Glen Windows and Doors Need Impact Protection?

Yes, for any new or replacement window or exterior door. At 163 mph Forest Glen is inside the wind-borne debris region, where new or replacement glazing must be impact-rated or covered by approved opening protection such as rated shutters. The Florida Building Commission’s wind-borne debris region interim report states that “design wind speeds above 140 mph in hurricane prone regions are designated WBDR regardless of adjacent exposure conditions.”

What was installed originally varies. The original window and shutter specification for each building sits in its Collier County permit history, which a buyer can pull before closing. In condominium buildings, who owns and maintains windows, sliders and shutters (the unit owner or the association) is set in each declaration, and that line decides who pays for a code-compliant replacement.

How Old Are the Roofs and Windows in Forest Glen?

Every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005, per the actual year-built field in the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file for Collier County. That means any roof, window or door that is still original is now 21 to 27 years old in 2026.

The build years straddle a line that matters. Florida’s first statewide building code arrived in 2002, so the earliest Forest Glen buildings were permitted under the prior local rules and the later ones under the new state code; none were built under the current 2023 code. By neighborhood, the roll’s build years are:

Many Forest Glen roofs have almost certainly been replaced since construction, but the tax roll does not record it. For a specific home, the permit history shows whether and when a roof was replaced, and a wind mitigation inspection documents roof-to-wall connections, roof covering and opening protection, which insurers use in pricing. Ask for both before you write an offer.

Is There a Fire Station at Forest Glen?

Yes. Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits at 3820 Beck Blvd, on Forest Glen’s northern edge, per the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station locations. The county’s fire district layer places all of Forest Glen inside the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District.

The station parcel is carved out of the PUD but owned by the fire district, not the homeowners. The district also runs Station 25 at 3675 Hacienda Lakes Blvd to the south. For post-storm response, having a staffed station at the rear gate is a real advantage over communities several miles from the nearest engine.

What Should a Forest Glen Buyer or Seller Do About Storm Risk?

A buyer should read the storm record by building, not by community. Ask for the roof permit date, a wind mitigation report, the association’s insurance declarations page and any post-storm special assessments. A seller should gather those same documents before listing, because a four-point inspection and a wind mitigation report on a 1999 to 2005 building are among the first things a buyer’s insurer will ask for.

What FEMA Flood Zone Is Forest Glen In?

Forest Glen is on FEMA flood map panel 12021C0418J, effective February 8, 2024, and it is a mix of three zones: Zone AH (a Special Flood Hazard Area of shallow ponding), shaded Zone X and unshaded Zone X. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area. The zone varies building by building, so every Forest Glen address needs its own check.

This section maps each Forest Glen neighborhood building by building on the current FEMA map, explains why AH appears here (FEMA’s own letters call the source “ponding/overland flow,” not surge), and walks through the 13 Letters of Map Amendment from 2012 that FEMA now lists as not carried onto the 2024 map. The sources are FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, FEMA’s letters on file at the Map Service Center, and Collier County’s 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter.

Which FEMA Flood Map Panel Covers Forest Glen?

All of Forest Glen is on FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map panel 12021C0418J, effective February 8, 2024, which replaced panel 12021C0418H of May 16, 2012. The panel and date come from the FEMA FIRM panel query at Forest Glen, and Collier County’s 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter confirms the countywide map “became effective on 02/08/2024.”

The date matters in two ways. Any flood determination, elevation certificate or insurance quote prepared before February 2024 was read against the older H panel. And the zoning document that created Forest Glen describes the whole site as Zone X under a 1986 map; that statement is decades out of date and describes nothing about the current map.

Which Flood Zones Appear in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen contains three FEMA zones, and no Forest Glen address falls in Zone AE or VE:

• Zone AH: a Special Flood Hazard Area with a 1% annual chance of shallow flooding, usually ponding of 1 to 3 feet. Flood insurance is required on a federally backed mortgage for a building in Zone AH unless a current FEMA letter removes it.
• Shaded Zone X: the 0.2% annual chance flood area (the “500-year” floodplain). Not a Special Flood Hazard Area.
• Unshaded Zone X: minimal flood hazard. Not a Special Flood Hazard Area.

The FEMA flood hazard zone query classifies the AH polygons here as “SFHA with BFE, no floodway.” Some small AE polygons sit inside the footprint over lakes and preserve, but they carry no addresses. Collier County’s 2024 FEMA flood zones layer mirrors the same polygons.

How Were Forest Glen’s Buildings Mapped?

Building-by-building zones below come from Collier County’s structure-level address points overlaid on FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. We downloaded the Collier County site address points inside Forest Glen, which the county places on each structure, and tested each point against FEMA’s current zone polygons.

We did not use street-level geocodes. A street geocoder interpolates an address along the road centerline, and in Forest Glen that can land a point a few hundred feet from the actual building, sometimes in a different zone. A building’s zone is assigned by the majority of its county address points. This is a mapping exercise, not a flood determination: only the lender’s determination or a surveyed elevation certificate decides a specific loan.

How Many Forest Glen Buildings Are in Zone AH?

About 35 of Forest Glen’s 74 condominium buildings, and 7 of 160 addresses in the single-family and villa plat, map to Zone AH on the 2024 map. The rest map to Zone X, shaded or unshaded. The counts by neighborhood:

Source: Collier County structure-level address points over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, 2024 panel, read September 2026.

Which Barrington Buildings Are in Zone AH?

Barrington has 13 of its 23 two-story coach-home buildings mapped Zone AH. In Barrington I, six of eight buildings map AH (3880, 3884, 3888, 3892, 3896 and 3900 Forest Glen Blvd) and two map Zone X (3904 and 3908). In Barrington II, five of eight map AH (3913, 3917, 3920, 3921 and 3925), two map Zone X (3916 and 3924) and one maps shaded Zone X (3912). In Barrington III, two of seven map AH (3936 and 3940) and five map Zone X.

Every Barrington building was covered by a 2012 FEMA letter that removed it from the flood hazard area on the old map, including the ones now mapped AH again. See the letters section below, and the FEMA 2012 Letter of Map Amendment for Barrington I, for the surveyed grades.

Which Bishopwood Buildings Are in Zone AH?

Bishopwood East has 10 of 16 twelve-unit buildings in Zone AH, and Bishopwood West has 10 of 26 four-unit buildings in Zone AH. The split is sharp by section:

• Bishopwood East I: 2 of 8 buildings AH (3977 and 3980 Bishopwood Ct E); 5 Zone X and 1 shaded Zone X (3969).
• Bishopwood East II: all 4 buildings AH (3981, 3984, 3985 and 3988).
• Bishopwood East III: all 4 buildings AH (3989, 3992, 3993 and 3996).
• Bishopwood West I: all 7 buildings on Loblolly Bay Drive (3902 to 3914) map Zone X.
• Bishopwood West II: 1 of 10 buildings AH (3967 Bishopwood Ct W); 5 Zone X and 4 shaded Zone X.
• Bishopwood West III: all 9 buildings AH (3974 to 3990 Bishopwood Ct W).

Bishopwood West III is the clearest case of a lapsed 2012 letter: all nine buildings, 36 units, were removed from the flood hazard area by the FEMA 2012 Letter of Map Amendment for Bishopwood West III under the old map, and all nine map AH on the 2024 map.

Which Britannia Buildings Are in Zone AH?

Two of Britannia’s nine four-story buildings map Zone AH: both Britannia IV buildings, 4000 and 4010 Loblolly Bay Drive. Britannia I (3935, 3940 and 3950 Loblolly Bay Dr), Britannia II (3960 and 3970) and Britannia III (3980 and 3990) map Zone X, with 3950 and 3990 in shaded Zone X.

No Britannia building has a FEMA Letter of Map Amendment on file. For a unit owner, the building’s zone matters mainly through the association’s master policy, the lender’s requirements and resale questions, since the building, not the unit, is what FEMA maps.

What Zone Are the Jungle Plum and Periwinkle Homes In?

The single-family and villa streets map Zone X on the 2024 map. On our overlay, Jungle Plum Drive East’s 69 address points are 65 unshaded Zone X and 4 shaded Zone X; Jungle Plum Drive West’s 20 points are 19 unshaded and 1 shaded; Periwinkle Way’s 54 points are 53 unshaded and 1 shaded. The seven AH points in the plat group sit on Forest Glen Boulevard and on common tracts, not on these three streets.

Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, so federal mandatory purchase does not apply, but lenders decide insurance requirements per building, and a lender may still require flood coverage. Four Jungle Plum East lots received their own 2012 FEMA letters under the old map, when parts of those lots were mapped in the hazard area.

Why Is Part of Forest Glen Mapped Zone AH?

AH here reflects shallow ponding and overland flow between lakes, fairways and preserve, not storm surge. FEMA’s own letters for Forest Glen buildings name the flood source as “ponding/overland flow,” for example the FEMA 2012 Letter of Map Amendment for Barrington I and the FEMA 2012 Letter of Map Amendment for Bishopwood East II.

The design of the community explains why. The PUD’s water-management intent was to send stormwater into the preserve wetlands “to help restore historic water retention and preserve areas,” per the Collier Board of County Commissioners agenda packet. Low areas between the buildings are meant to hold water in a heavy rain. That is a different hazard, and usually a different insurance price, from coastal surge.

What Is the Base Flood Elevation in Forest Glen?

The only base-flood-elevation line FEMA draws across Forest Glen on the current map is 10.5 feet NAVD88; surveyed ground at the 2012 LOMA buildings ran 12.0 to 13.8 feet. The line appears on the FEMA base flood elevation query across Forest Glen. The AH polygons here carry no separate static elevation, so this line supplies the elevation.

On the older 2012 map the elevations were slightly higher: 10.7 feet on the county’s elevation certificate and 11.0 feet on the Barrington II letter. So the base flood elevation dropped a little in 2024 even though the mapped AH area grew in places. A per-building FIRMette from FEMA’s Map Service Center confirms the value that applies to one building.

What Were the 2012 Letters of Map Amendment?

FEMA issued 13 Letters of Map Amendment in 2012 that removed many Barrington, Bishopwood and Jungle Plum East structures from the Special Flood Hazard Area on the old map. Each letter names the 2012 panel, the outcome “structure removed,” and the note that “portions of the property remain in the SFHA.” The FEMA list of Letters of Map Amendment in and around Forest Glen holds all of them:

Letters on file at FEMA include the 2012 letter for Barrington II, the 2012 letter for Barrington III, the 2012 letter for Bishopwood West I and the 2012 letter for Bishopwood East III. No Letter of Map Revision affects Forest Glen, per the FEMA Letters of Map Revision query.

Do the 2012 LOMAs Still Apply on the 2024 Map?

Not automatically. FEMA issued Letters of Map Amendment in 2012 for many Barrington, Bishopwood and Jungle Plum East buildings under the 2012 map, but FEMA’s current layer shows those letters as not incorporated into the 2024 map. Lenders read the current map unless a revalidation letter or a new LOMA exists.

A LOMA is address-specific: it applies only to the structure named in the letter, and only against the map it was issued on unless FEMA revalidates it. We found no revalidation letter for the Forest Glen cases. That is why several buildings removed in 2012 (all of Bishopwood West III, six Barrington I buildings, all of Bishopwood East II and III) map AH again. An owner holding a 2012 letter may reasonably believe the building is outside the hazard area; the current map says otherwise until a new letter says different.

There is a practical upside. Because surveyed grades at these buildings (12.0 to 13.8 feet) sit above the current 10.5-foot base flood elevation line, many AH-mapped Forest Glen buildings appear to be candidates for a new LOMA. That is a per-building engineering question for a licensed surveyor, and for a condominium it is usually an association project, since the letter covers the whole structure.

What Does the Forest Glen Elevation Certificate Show?

The one Elevation Certificate Collier County holds inside Forest Glen, for a Jungle Plum Drive East home surveyed in 2013 under the old map, shows a finished floor at 13.0 feet NAVD88 and lowest adjacent grade at 12.4 feet. The Collier County Elevation Certificate for the Jungle Plum Dr E home lists the 2012 panel, Zone AH and a base flood elevation of 10.7 feet on that map.

Read against today’s 10.5-foot line, that floor sits about 2.5 feet above the base flood elevation. One certificate does not describe every home, but it shows the kind of margin a surveyed certificate can document. Collier’s elevation certificates layer is where any certificate filed with the county appears.

What Are Collier County’s Building Rules in the Flood Zone?

For new construction in the Special Flood Hazard Area, Collier County requires the lowest floor at base flood elevation plus 1 foot and at least 18 inches above the crown of a paved road, per Collier County: Building Within the Floodplain. In Zones AE, AH or A, improvements or repairs costing 50% or more of a building’s market value trigger full compliance with current elevation rules, per the county’s 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter.

For a Forest Glen owner planning a major remodel of an AH-mapped home, that 50% rule is the number to watch; a surveyed elevation certificate early in design shows whether the existing floor already meets it.

What Should a Buyer Request About Flood Zone?

A buyer should request four things for the specific building: the lender’s flood zone determination, an elevation certificate (existing or new), any FEMA letter covering the structure and dated after February 8, 2024, and the association’s insurance declarations page if it is a condominium. Anyone can pull an official FIRMette for an address from the FEMA Map Service Center address search.

Sellers should gather the same file before listing. If you own in an AH building with a 2012 letter, knowing that before a buyer’s lender raises it keeps a closing on schedule.

What Does Home Insurance Cost in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen insurance costs are set building by building, and the only public premium data is for federal flood insurance. Across all 5,463 NFIP policies in ZIP 34114 that took effect June 2025 to May 2026, the median annual cost was $1,528 (OpenFEMA). Unincorporated Collier County’s Class 5 Community Rating System standing takes 25% off eligible flood premiums.

Data updated: September 2026

Homeowners, wind and condominium unit-owner premiums are private contracts, and no public dataset reports them by building. What follows is everything the public record does show: the county’s standing in FEMA’s discount program, how FEMA prices flood risk now, what policies and claims in ZIP 34114 look like in OpenFEMA’s NFIP policy records, what Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements mean for Forest Glen owners, and how the 13 condominium associations fit in under Florida Statutes 718.111 on condominium insurance. For the flood zone of each building, see the FEMA section above.

What CRS Class Is Collier County, and What Does It Save Forest Glen Owners?

Unincorporated Collier County, which includes Forest Glen, is a Class 5 community in FEMA’s Community Rating System, worth a 25% discount on eligible NFIP flood policies. The FEMA Community Rating System eligible communities list effective April 1, 2026 shows the county entering the program on October 1, 1992 and holding its current Class 5 since October 1, 2015.

The county’s own 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter says the same thing in plain terms: “Collier County has participated in the program since October 1992 and maintains a Class 5 CRS rating. With this rating, eligible NFIP polices receive a 25% discount.” The class is earned through county floodplain management activity (mapping, regulations, public outreach), not by anything a single association does, and it applies to every eligible Forest Glen flood policy written through the NFIP. Forest Glen is not inside the City of Naples, so the city’s separate CRS standing does not apply here.

How Does Risk Rating 2.0 Price Flood Insurance in Forest Glen?

Under Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA prices each NFIP policy on the building’s own flood risk and rebuilding cost rather than on the zone letter alone. The method applied to new policies from October 1, 2021 and to all renewals from April 1, 2022, and it was fully in place by April 1, 2023, per FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 pricing approach.

FEMA lists the rating factors as “flood frequency, multiple flood types … distance to a water source along with property characteristics such as elevation and the cost to rebuild.” Two rules in that FEMA page matter for Forest Glen owners:

• The CRS discount applies everywhere in the community. It is applied “regardless of whether the structure is inside or outside of the Special Flood Hazard Area,” so a Zone X building in Forest Glen gets the county’s 25% discount just as a Zone AH building does.
• Increases are capped. “Existing statutory limits on rate increases require that most rates not increase more than 18% per year.” An older policy still climbing toward its full-risk price rises in steps, not all at once.

The practical reading: two neighboring Forest Glen buildings in the same zone can price differently, and a surveyed elevation certificate is often the single most useful document when shopping a flood policy.

What Do Flood Insurance Policies Cost in ZIP 34114?

The median annual cost of an NFIP flood policy in ZIP 34114 is $1,528, across all 5,463 policies that took effect from June 2025 to May 2026, per OpenFEMA’s NFIP policy records for ZIP 34114. That figure is the premium plus fees a policyholder paid, as reported in FEMA’s public policy file.

Read it for what it is. ZIP 34114 covers a large part of East Naples, from inland golf communities like Forest Glen to coastal neighborhoods along the bays, so the median mixes very different risks. It is a useful anchor for a buyer’s budget and nothing more. A Forest Glen building’s own quote depends on its elevation, its construction, its coverage limits and deductible, and whether it is a single-family home or a condominium building insured by its association. No public dataset reports premiums for Forest Glen alone.

Does Zone AH Cost More Than Zone X in Forest Glen?

Not by much, on the public data: in the Census tract that contains Forest Glen, median NFIP premiums for Zone AH and Zone X policies were almost identical. In Census tract 111.14, which is far larger than Forest Glen, the median policy cost was $1,117 for Zone AH policies (39 policies) and $1,085 for Zone X policies (140 policies), per OpenFEMA’s NFIP policy records for policies effective June 2025 to May 2026.

That near-match is what FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 is designed to produce: under the current method the zone letter alone does not set the price. The zone still matters for a different reason. Zone AH is a Special Flood Hazard Area, so a federally backed mortgage requires flood coverage there, while Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area and federal mandatory purchase does not apply. The zone decides whether you must buy; the building decides what you pay.

When Is Flood Insurance Required on a Forest Glen Home?

For a building mapped Zone AH, flood insurance is required on a federally backed mortgage unless a current FEMA letter removes the structure. On the 2024 map about 35 of Forest Glen’s 74 condominium buildings, and 7 of 160 addresses in the single-family and villa plat, map to Zone AH (see the FEMA section above).

The 2012 Letters of Map Amendment matter here. FEMA issued Letters of Map Amendment in 2012 for many Barrington, Bishopwood and Jungle Plum East buildings under the 2012 map, but FEMA’s current list of Letters of Map Amendment around Forest Glen shows those letters as not incorporated into the 2024 map. Lenders read the current map unless a revalidation letter or a new LOMA exists. A LOMA is address-specific, so a letter for one building says nothing about the building next door.

For a Zone X building, federal mandatory purchase does not apply, but lenders decide insurance requirements per building and may still require coverage. And for any Forest Glen single-family owner insured through Citizens, the state’s own flood rule (next question) applies regardless of zone from 2027.

What Does Citizens Require, and What Changes on January 1, 2027?

Citizens Property Insurance, Florida’s state-backed insurer, requires flood coverage on personal residential policies that include wind coverage, and by January 1, 2027 that applies to every such home regardless of zone or value. Homes in a Special Flood Hazard Area already need it, per Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements.

Outside the Special Flood Hazard Area the rule has phased in by the dwelling coverage amount under Florida Statutes 627.715 on flood insurance:

• From January 1, 2024: dwelling coverage of $600,000 or more.
• From January 1, 2025: $500,000 or more.
• From January 1, 2026: $400,000 or more.
• From January 1, 2027: all remaining policies with wind coverage, regardless of value.

For Forest Glen that means a Jungle Plum or Periwinkle Villas owner on Citizens should budget for a flood policy at the first renewal after January 1, 2027, even when the home maps Zone X. Flood coverage bought through the NFIP carries the county’s 25% CRS discount.

Do Forest Glen Condo Owners Need Flood Insurance for Citizens?

No. Citizens exempts condominium unit-owner (HO-6) policies from its flood requirement. Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements state that “Condominium unit-owner policies, tenant content policies, and policies that exclude windstorm or hail coverage are not required to purchase flood insurance coverage.”

That exemption covers the owners of Forest Glen’s 658 condominium units in Barrington, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West and Britannia, for their own HO-6 policies. It does not settle whether the building itself carries flood coverage. That is the association’s decision, made on its master policy, and a lender financing a unit in a Zone AH building may look at the master policy when it decides what coverage the loan requires. Periwinkle Villas are platted lots, not condominiums, so a villa owner on Citizens follows the single-family rule above.

Is Citizens Getting Cheaper in 2026?

Yes, on average. Citizens cut its 2026 homeowners multiperil rates by an average of 8.8% and its homeowners wind-only rates by an average of 5.5%, effective July 1, 2026 for new policies and at renewal for existing ones, per Citizens’ announcement that 2026 multiperil rates will drop statewide.

The same March 2026 release put Citizens’ policy count at 336,000, down 76% from its October 2023 peak, as private carriers took policies back. For a Forest Glen owner that shift means more quotes to compare. An average statewide cut is not a promise for any one home: a 1999 to 2005 roof, the opening protection on file and the wind mitigation inspection form still drive the premium on a specific building.

How Do Condominium Master Policies Work in Forest Glen?

Each of Forest Glen’s 13 condominium associations insures its own buildings under a master policy, and Florida law requires that insurance to be adequate. Florida Statutes 718.111 states that “Every condominium association shall have adequate property insurance,” with replacement cost determined at least once every three years.

Whether each Forest Glen master policy includes flood coverage, and what its hurricane deductible is, appears on that association’s insurance declarations page. None of the 13 associations publishes it, so a buyer should request it in the resale package along with the current budget. Three questions are worth asking:

• Does the master policy carry flood? Buildings mapped Zone AH (all of Bishopwood East II and III and Bishopwood West III, most of Barrington I and II, both Britannia IV buildings) are where this matters most.
• What is the named-storm deductible? A percentage deductible on a four-story Britannia building is a large number, and it is the association, and so the owners, who fund it after a storm.
• Has the association budgeted for premium increases? The master premium is a line in every unit’s quarterly fee.

What Is the Flood Claims History Around Forest Glen?

NFIP claims data is public only by ZIP code, and ZIP 34114 is far larger than Forest Glen. For ZIP 34114, not Forest Glen alone, OpenFEMA’s NFIP claims records show:

The largest share of the Ian claims falls in a part of the ZIP outside Forest Glen’s Census tract. No county, news or association record found describes storm flooding inside Forest Glen, and the National Weather Service Miami Hurricane Ian summary placed Ian’s surge south and west of US 41, about 5 miles from the community. Claims history for a specific building is private; ask the seller for the CLUE report on the home, and ask the association about any building claims since 2017.

How Can a Forest Glen Owner Lower Insurance Costs?

The documents that move a Forest Glen premium are a wind mitigation inspection, a current roof permit and, for a Zone AH building, a surveyed elevation certificate or a new FEMA letter. Every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005, so insurers look hard at roof age and opening protection.

On the flood side, surveyed ground at the 2012 LOMA buildings ran 12.0 to 13.8 feet NAVD88, above the 10.5-foot base flood elevation line FEMA draws across Forest Glen on the current map, per the FEMA base flood elevation query. That makes many AH-mapped buildings appear to be candidates for a new LOMA. It is a per-building engineering question for a licensed surveyor, and for a condominium it is an association project.

On the wind side, impact-rated windows and doors, or approved shutters, and documented roof-to-wall connections are what the state’s wind mitigation form credits. Replacements must meet the current code’s 163 mph design wind speed.

Is Forest Glen at Risk From Wildfire?

Forest Glen has a real wildland edge: more than half the community is preserve, and in April 2026 the Newman Road Fire put Forest Glen on the evacuation alert list before the order was lifted. No report found describes fire damage inside Forest Glen, and Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits on Beck Boulevard at the community’s north edge.

Wildfire here is a preserve-edge question, not a daily hazard, but it is part of owning next to about 352 acres of native vegetation and a much larger band of conservation land to the east. The records below come from two public-radio newsrooms, WGCU’s report on the Newman Road wildfire evacuations and WUSF’s report on the Newman Road fire reaching 60% containment, plus the county’s preserve and land-use records.

What Happened in the April 2026 Newman Road Fire?

The Newman Road Fire burned in the Picayune Strand area near Interstate 75 from April 13 to 15, 2026, growing to 1,733 acres and reaching 60% containment by April 15. WGCU’s first report on April 13 described evacuations “in front of” a wildfire of about 600 acres burning near I-75 in the Picayune Strand wildlife area in Collier County, per WGCU’s Newman Road wildfire report.

By April 15, WUSF’s report on the Newman Road fire described a hard fight by wildland firefighters and 60% containment at 1,733 acres. The distance from the fire’s final perimeter to Forest Glen’s preserve was not published in either report and was not measured for this page, so we do not state one. What the record does show is that the fire was close enough for Forest Glen to be named in the evacuation alerts.

Was Forest Glen Evacuated During the Newman Road Fire?

Forest Glen was included in the evacuation alerts during the Newman Road Fire, and the evacuation was then lifted. WGCU reported that “evacuations have been lifted for Forest Glen Community,” per WGCU’s Newman Road wildfire report, and WUSF confirmed the lifted evacuation.

No report found describes damage inside Forest Glen. For a buyer, the episode is a useful reminder of two practical points. First, the community has two gated exits, the main entrance on Collier Boulevard at Forest Glen Boulevard and a rear gate on Beck Boulevard at Periwinkle Way, so residents have more than one way out. Second, county alerts arrive by name and area; signing up for Collier County’s emergency alerts is the fastest way to hear an order and its all-clear.

Why Does Forest Glen Have a Wildland Edge?

Forest Glen has a wildland edge because more than half of it is preserve and that preserve runs into large conservation lands to the east. About 352 acres of native vegetation are under preservation in eight recorded preserve tracts, the largest about 257 acres, per the county staff report in the Collier Planning Commission packet for the Forest Glen PUD amendment.

To the east, the preserve abuts land the county’s Rural Fringe Mixed Use District layer designates as “Sending” lands, which are set aside for low-intensity, conservation-oriented use. The Sending polygon that touches Forest Glen covers roughly 27,000 acres on the county layer. The club’s site map shows the large preserve along the whole east side of the community, with lakes throughout the course and neighborhoods. Homes along that east edge, and any home whose rear faces a preserve tract, sit closest to the wildland.

What Conservation Lands Surround Forest Glen?

Forest Glen sits at the western edge of one of the largest blocks of protected and conservation-designated land in Collier County. Directly east are the Rural Fringe “Sending” lands on the county’s Rural Fringe Mixed Use District layer; farther southeast is the Picayune Strand area where the April 2026 fire burned.

The land’s wildlife history is on the federal record. A 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Florida panther consultation for the project, then called Naples Golf Estates, recorded 439 acres of habitat impacts and 175 acres preserved on site, per the National Park Service Tamiami Trail environmental assessment appendix. The preserve acreage the county counts today is a different measure (native vegetation under preservation) and the two figures should not be added together.

For the public side of the county’s conservation program, including preserves open to walkers, see our guide to Conservation Collier preserves in Collier County. Every Forest Glen tax bill funds that program through the county’s Conservation Collier levy.

What Wildlife Should Forest Glen Owners Expect?

Forest Glen owners live alongside Florida wildlife, including alligators in the lakes and preserve. In July 2023 a man walking in the 3800 block of Forest Glen Boulevard was bitten by an alligator of nearly 7 feet and airlifted, per the Naples Daily News report on the Forest Glen Boulevard alligator bite.

That incident is rare, but it is the kind of risk that comes with lakes, fairways and a preserve on every side. The standard precautions apply: keep distance from lake banks, keep pets leashed near water, never feed wildlife, and report a nuisance alligator to the state’s wildlife agency rather than handling it. The club’s site map marks a paved nature trail through the preserve in three legs of 0.89, 0.59 and 0.38 miles, about 1.9 miles combined, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map, and that trail is where most residents meet the preserve and its animals.

Who Responds to a Fire at Forest Glen?

The Greater Naples Fire Rescue District covers all of Forest Glen, and its Station 72 at 3820 Beck Blvd sits on the community’s northern edge. The Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station locations list that address, and the county’s fire district layer places Forest Glen inside the district.

The district also runs Station 25 at 3675 Hacienda Lakes Blvd to the south, Station 20 at 4798 Davis Blvd and Station 23 at 6055 Collier Blvd, per the same station list. Large brush and wildland fires such as the Newman Road Fire bring in state wildland crews alongside the local district, as WUSF’s coverage of the containment effort shows. A station at the rear gate is a structure-fire advantage; a wildland fire in the conservation lands to the east is a regional response.

What Should a Buyer Ask About Wildfire and the Preserve?

A buyer should ask which preserve tract, if any, borders the home, who maintains the preserve edge, and what the master association budgets for preserve management. The eight preserve tracts are common property of the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc., so vegetation management along their edges is an association matter, not an individual owner’s.

Useful documents are the master association’s budget (a preserve maintenance line), board minutes that discuss the preserve, and the home’s insurance quote, which may reflect the insurer’s own wildfire scoring. Sellers with a preserve view should present it as the asset it is and have the association’s preserve maintenance record ready for questions.

What Schools Serve Forest Glen?

Every Forest Glen address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High for the 2026 to 2027 school year, per Collier County Public Schools’ own address lookup: 895 address records on 232 buildings across all seven streets, with no exceptions. The same three schools applied in 2025 to 2026, and no rezoning is pending.

This section reads the district’s address-level zone records, the Florida Department of Education’s school grade files and federal enrollment data, including the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for 3904 Forest Glen Blvd, the Florida Department of Education 2025 to 2026 school grades file and the NCES public school search for Collier County. Drive times are free-flow from the main gate. School zones can change; confirm any address with the district before you rely on it.

Which Public Schools Is Forest Glen Zoned For?

Forest Glen is zoned for Lely Elementary School, Manatee Middle School and Lely High School. The Collier County Public Schools zone lookup returns those three schools for the 2026 to 2027 school year, and its 2025 to 2026 record for 3840 Jungle Plum Dr E returns the same three, with no rezoning fields set.

Sources: Florida Department of Education school grade files for 2025 and 2026; NCES Common Core of Data for enrollment; OSRM free-flow routing for drive times.

Does Every Forest Glen Address Go to the Same Schools?

Yes. Every Forest Glen address record the district returned is zoned Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High: 895 records on 232 building addresses across Forest Glen Boulevard, Loblolly Bay Drive, Bishopwood Court East and West, Jungle Plum Drive East and West and Periwinkle Way, with zero exceptions, per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup.

The count is of district address records, not homes. The district lists some buildings unit by unit and includes a few non-dwelling records such as the clubhouse at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, which is why 895 records do not equal Forest Glen’s 799 homes. The pattern in the records matches the housing: one record per house on Jungle Plum Drive East and West and Periwinkle Way, four units per two-story coach-home building on Forest Glen Boulevard and Loblolly Bay Drive, twelve per Bishopwood East building, and about 30 per Britannia building. Whatever neighborhood a buyer picks inside the gates, the assigned schools are the same.

How Is Lely Elementary Graded?

Lely Elementary earned an A from the Florida Department of Education in 2024, 2025 and 2026. It serves prekindergarten through grade 5 at 8125 Lely Cultural Pkwy, with 499 students in 2024 to 2025, per the Florida Department of Education 2025 to 2026 school grades file and the NCES public school search.

It is the closest of the three assigned schools, about 3.5 miles and 6 minutes straight south on Collier Boulevard. It shares the Lely Cultural Parkway area with the South Regional Library and sits near the Florida SouthWestern State College Collier Campus. The school’s own site is Lely Elementary School. A state letter grade is one measure built on test results; visiting the school and reading its improvement plan tell you more than any single letter.

How Is Manatee Middle Graded?

Manatee Middle School earned a B in 2024 and an A in both 2025 and 2026. It serves grades 6 to 8 at 1920 Manatee Rd with 781 students in 2024 to 2025, per the Florida Department of Education 2024 to 2025 school grades file and the 2025 to 2026 file.

Manatee Middle is the farthest of the three assigned schools, about 8.2 miles and 14 minutes by car, south on Collier Boulevard and then along US 41 East. It is farther from Forest Glen than Lely High, even though it is the middle school. That distance is worth knowing before a buyer assumes a short school commute from an East Naples address; bus eligibility is set by the district’s transportation rules and should be confirmed for a specific address.

Why Did Lely High Go From an A to a B in 2026?

Lely High’s letter changed because the state’s grading scale changed, not because its score did. Lely High earned 64% of possible points in both 2025 and 2026; under the 2026 high-school scale that is a B, while in 2025 it was an A, per the Florida Department of Education 2024 to 2025 school grades file and the 2025 to 2026 file.

The 2026 scale for high and combination schools starts an A at 65% of points; the 2025 scale for middle, high and combination schools started it at 64%. The Marco Eagle report on 2026 Collier school grades noted that Lely High and Palmetto Ridge High “both went from an A to a B grade.” Lely High earned a B in 2024. It serves grades 9 to 12 at 1 Lely High School Blvd, with 1,475 students in 2024 to 2025, about 6.6 miles and 13 minutes from the main gate.

How Is the Collier County School District Graded?

Collier County Public Schools earned an A district grade from the state for the ninth consecutive year in 2026, per the Marco Eagle report on 2026 Collier school grades. The district publishes its school and district results on its school and district grades page.

The press summary quoted a single scale (A at 65% of points), but the state’s 2026 file applies different thresholds by school type: an A starts at 62% for elementary schools and 64% for middle schools, with 65% for high and combination schools. That is why comparing letters across school types, or across years when the scale moved, needs care.

Why Do Some Sources Say Forest Glen Is Zoned for Manatee Elementary?

Forest Glen is zoned for Lely Elementary, not Manatee Elementary. The mix-up comes from a similar-sounding street about 8 miles south, Mahogany Bend Drive, which the district zones for Manatee Elementary; fuzzy address matching in search tools can attach that answer to Forest Glen. The Collier County Public Schools zone lookup returns Lely Elementary for every Forest Glen address.

Manatee Elementary sits at 1880 Manatee Rd, next to Manatee Middle School, which is why the two names get blended. If an online answer, a listing or an AI summary tells you Forest Glen’s elementary school is Manatee Elementary, check the address in the district’s own lookup. The district’s record is the one that decides enrollment.

Why Is Beck Boulevard a School Zone Line?

Beck Boulevard, which runs along Forest Glen’s northern edge, is a school attendance boundary. The district zones north-side (odd-numbered) Beck Boulevard addresses to Mike Davis Elementary, Manatee Middle and Golden Gate High, and south-side (even-numbered) addresses to Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High, per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for Beck Blvd.

This matters for one reason: no Forest Glen home has a Beck Boulevard address. All 799 homes are addressed on seven interior streets. Forest Glen’s Beck Boulevard frontage holds the golf maintenance parcel, the fire station and the commercial corner, not homes. A listing addressed on Beck Boulevard is not a Forest Glen home, and it may not share Forest Glen’s schools. Mike Davis Elementary is at 3215 Magnolia Pond Dr, about 2.0 miles from the gate, and Golden Gate High at 2925 Titan Way, about 2.4 miles.

What Charter Schools Are Near Forest Glen?

Two public charter schools within about 6.5 miles take applications from anywhere in the district: Mason Classical Academy and Gulf Coast Charter Academy South. Charter schools are tuition-free public schools, and admission is by application under each school’s own enrollment policy, which was not reviewed for this page.

• Mason Classical Academy, 3073 Horseshoe Dr S, kindergarten through grade 12, 1,509 students in 2024 to 2025, graded A by the state in 2024, 2025 and 2026, about 6.5 miles and 13 minutes, per the Florida Department of Education 2025 to 2026 school grades file.
• Gulf Coast Charter Academy South, 215 Airport Pulling Rd N, kindergarten through grade 8, 681 students in 2024 to 2025, about 6.2 miles and 12 minutes, per the NCES public school search.

Farther south, Marco Island Charter Middle (about 15.4 miles) and Marco Island Academy, a charter high school (about 17.3 miles), are also on the state’s charter list. Ask each school directly about its application window and any lottery.

What Private Schools Are Near Forest Glen?

The nearest private school to Forest Glen is Seacrest Country Day School at 7100 Davis Blvd, prekindergarten through grade 12, about 4.0 miles and 7 minutes from the gate. The NCES private school search for Collier County lists 16 private schools countywide; the ones within an easy drive are:

Federal private-school enrollment is two school years old. For tuition, admissions and campus profiles, see our guide to Naples private schools.

What Colleges Are Near Forest Glen?

Florida SouthWestern State College’s Collier Campus at 7505 Grand Lely Dr is the closest college to Forest Glen, about 4.4 miles and 8 minutes away, per the Florida SouthWestern State College Collier Campus page. It sits in the same Lely Cultural Parkway area as Lely Elementary and the South Regional Library.

Two more options are within an hour:

• Lorenzo Walker Technical College, 3702 Estey Ave, the school district’s technical college, about 6.2 miles and 11 minutes.
• Florida Gulf Coast University, 10501 FGCU Blvd S in Fort Myers, about 25.8 miles and 33 minutes via Interstate 75, per Florida Gulf Coast University.

Older guides to Naples still list Hodges University. It closed in August 2024, per the Business Observer report on the Hodges University closure, and is not a nearby option.

Is Collier County Building a New School Near Forest Glen?

No. The school district’s current capital plan names no new school within 3 miles of Forest Glen. The Collier County Public Schools capital improvement plan for fiscal years 2026 to 2045, dated May 14, 2025, names Bear Creek Elementary (opening August 2025) and an Elementary “Q” in Ave Maria as its new schools, both far from East Naples.

The county’s parcel records do show a 19.55 acre parcel titled to the school district in Hacienda Lakes, about 1.9 miles from Forest Glen’s boundary. No district document reviewed for this page designates it as a future school site, so treat it as land the district holds, not a planned school. The zone assignments above are the ones that will apply until the district adopts a rezoning.

How Do You Confirm the School Zone for a Forest Glen Address?

Run the exact street address, including the unit number, through the district’s own lookup, and read the result for the school year you care about. The Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for 3904 Forest Glen Blvd is the model: it returns the zoned elementary, middle and high school and any pending rezoning.

The district’s school and district grades page links the state grade reports. Before closing, confirm the assigned schools with the district in writing if enrollment is part of your decision.

What Hospitals and Healthcare Are Near Forest Glen?

The nearest hospital and 24-hour emergency room to Forest Glen is Physicians Regional’s Collier Boulevard hospital at 8300 Collier Blvd, about 3 miles and 5 to 7 minutes south. NCH Baker Hospital downtown is about 8.8 miles away, NCH North about 14.3 miles, and NCH’s closest outpatient and urgent-care hub is 4.3 miles away on Collier Boulevard.

Healthcare access is one of Forest Glen’s practical strengths: a full-service hospital sits a straight shot down the same road as the main gate. The facts below come from each operator’s own pages, including Physicians Regional’s Collier Boulevard hospital page and NCH’s Naples location directory, and from the federal CMS Hospital General Information dataset. Drive times are free-flow from the main gate. State licensure records were not part of this review, so bed counts are the operators’ own figures.

What Is the Nearest Hospital to Forest Glen?

Physicians Regional’s Collier Boulevard hospital at 8300 Collier Blvd is the nearest hospital and 24-hour ER, about 3 miles and 5 to 7 minutes south of Forest Glen on Collier Boulevard. The operator describes it as “a 212,400 square-foot, 130-bed acute care facility” with 24-hour emergency room services, per Physicians Regional’s Collier Boulevard hospital page.

The operator’s page also describes the hospital as Joint Commission accredited. The route is simple: turn south out of the main gate and stay on Collier Boulevard. The measured distance runs 3.1 to 3.3 miles depending on which point of the campus a router snaps to, which is why we give 5 to 7 minutes rather than a single number. For most Forest Glen addresses it is the closest emergency room by a wide margin.

How Far Is NCH Baker Hospital From Forest Glen?

NCH Baker Hospital, NCH’s downtown flagship at 350 7th St N with an emergency department on site, is about 8.8 miles and 17 minutes from Forest Glen’s main gate, via Collier Boulevard, Davis Boulevard and US 41. NCH’s Naples location directory lists the campus and its emergency department.

The federal hospital registry lists this campus under its older legal name, “Naples Community Hospital”; the system now brands itself Naples Comprehensive Health. Same facility. The drive runs through some of Naples’ busiest in-season corridors, so allow more time from January to April.

Where Is NCH North Hospital, and When Would You Go There?

NCH North Hospital at 11190 Health Park Blvd is about 14.3 miles and 20 minutes from Forest Glen via Interstate 75, and it runs separate adult, obstetric and pediatric emergency departments, per NCH’s Naples location directory.

Because it is reached by the interstate rather than by city streets, NCH North can be almost as quick in minutes as the downtown campus even though it is farther in miles. The pediatric and obstetric emergency departments are the reason a Forest Glen household might choose it over a closer ER. The federal registry does not list NCH North as a separate hospital; it appears to report under NCH’s main hospital record.

How Far Is Physicians Regional Pine Ridge?

Physicians Regional Pine Ridge at 6101 Pine Ridge Rd is about 7.6 miles and 12 minutes from Forest Glen, and it has an emergency department. The CMS Hospital General Information dataset lists the campus with emergency services.

For a Forest Glen owner, Pine Ridge is the second Physicians Regional campus and a practical option for north Naples specialists. The Collier Boulevard hospital, 3 miles south, remains the closer ER for most needs. Both campuses belong to the same hospital system.

Where Is the Closest Urgent Care and Outpatient Hub?

The closest NCH outpatient hub is at 7717 Collier Blvd, about 4.3 miles and 7 minutes south of Forest Glen. NCH’s Naples location directory lists these services in that building:

• NCH Medical Group Immediate Care, Southeast (urgent care, Suite 100). This is walk-in care, not an emergency room.
• Family medicine (Suite 202).
• Laboratory services.
• Outpatient therapy (Suite 201).
• Imaging (Suite 101).
• A sleep lab (Suite 102).

Across the street, NCH Rooney Heart Institute Southeast is at 7718 Collier Blvd, Suite 202. Together with the Physicians Regional hospital a mile farther south, this stretch of Collier Boulevard handles most routine care for Forest Glen without a trip downtown.

Is There a Freestanding ER Near Forest Glen?

No. NCH’s one freestanding emergency department on Collier Boulevard is far to the north, at 15420 Collier Blvd near the Immokalee Road corridor, and there is no freestanding ER between Forest Glen and downtown, per NCH’s Naples location directory.

That is not a gap in practice, because a full hospital ER, Physicians Regional Collier Boulevard, is about 3 miles south of the gate. It does mean that for Forest Glen the choice in an emergency is between a hospital ER and urgent care. Urgent care at 7717 Collier Blvd is for minor illness and injury; chest pain, stroke symptoms and serious injuries belong in a hospital emergency department.

How Do Nearby Hospitals Rate on Federal Star Ratings?

The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services give NCH’s main hospital (the Baker campus) an overall 3-star rating and Physicians Regional Pine Ridge 2 stars, per the CMS Hospital General Information dataset. The Collier Boulevard campus and NCH North have no separate CMS record and appear to report under their parent hospitals.

CMS lists only three Collier County hospitals: NCH, Physicians Regional Pine Ridge and Axiom Behavioral Health at Naples, a psychiatric hospital without an emergency department. Star ratings summarize quality measures across a whole hospital record, so a campus reporting under its parent shares the parent’s rating. Use them as one input among several, alongside a physician’s advice and the specific service you need.

Who Provides Fire Rescue Response to Forest Glen?

Greater Naples Fire Rescue District provides fire rescue service to Forest Glen, and its Station 72 at 3820 Beck Blvd sits on the community’s northern edge, per the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station locations. The district’s Station 25 at 3675 Hacienda Lakes Blvd is to the south.

A staffed station at the rear gate shortens the first-response leg of any 911 call from inside Forest Glen. The nearest hospital emergency room, Physicians Regional Collier Boulevard, is about 3 miles south of the main gate. Response-time records by address were not part of this review.

How Long Are the Drives From Forest Glen?

Forest Glen is about a mile from Interstate 75 Exit 101, about 15 minutes from Fifth Avenue South in downtown Naples, about 18 minutes from the beach at the Naples Pier and about 37 to 39 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport, all measured without traffic. A Walmart Supercenter sits 0.6 mile from the entrance, and Marco Island is roughly 27 to 28 minutes south.

Every time on this page is a free-flow routing measurement, not a stopwatch in season. We routed each trip with the OSRM routing engine on OpenStreetMap roads and took each destination’s address from its official source, such as the City of Naples Naples Pier page and the Florida Gulf Coast University site. The club’s own “15 minute drive to the Gulf Beaches and downtown Naples,” on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club home page, holds for downtown; the beach runs a little longer.

How Were These Drive Times Measured?

Each time is OSRM free-flow routing on OpenStreetMap roads from Forest Glen’s main gate on Collier Boulevard, with no traffic, signals or seasonal congestion modeled. Collier Boulevard, Davis Boulevard and US 41 are heavily signalized, so from January to April add time, sometimes a lot, to anything that runs west toward downtown or the beaches.

Two origin points were used, about 150 meters apart: the gate itself (26.14534, -81.68511) and the main entrance where Forest Glen Boulevard meets Collier Boulevard, as marked on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map. Where both were measured, the table uses the gate figure. Example route: the OSRM route from the Forest Glen gate to downtown Naples. Traffic-aware, in-season travel times from a transportation study were not available for this page, so treat every figure as the best case.

What Are the Drive Times From Forest Glen to Everyday Destinations?

Most daily errands from Forest Glen take 1 to 7 minutes, downtown and the beach take 14 to 18 minutes, and the airports take 12 (Naples) to 39 (RSW) minutes, all without traffic. The full list, sorted by distance:

Method: OSRM free-flow routing on OpenStreetMap roads, measured September 2026, without traffic. The entrance and gate origins are about 150 meters apart; where both were measured the gate figure is shown, except the hospital row, which shows both.

How Close Is Interstate 75 to Forest Glen?

Interstate 75 Exit 101 is about a mile from Forest Glen’s gate: the southbound on-ramp (toward Miami) is 0.86 mile and the northbound on-ramp (toward Tampa) is 1.2 miles by OSRM step distance, at the interchange mapped as OpenStreetMap’s I-75 Exit 101 junction. The club’s own description of the community as “one mile from the entrance to Interstate 75” matches.

That short hop is Forest Glen’s commuting advantage. North on I-75 reaches NCH North, Florida Gulf Coast University and Southwest Florida International Airport without a single city street; east on I-75 is Alligator Alley toward Fort Lauderdale and Miami. The interchange is under reconstruction through an estimated late 2026 (see the section on what is being built nearby), so expect lane shifts and closures at the Davis and Beck intersection until FDOT’s I-75 at SR 951 interchange project finishes.

Where Are the Nearest Grocery Stores to Forest Glen?

The nearest grocery store to Forest Glen is the Walmart Supercenter at 9885 Collier Blvd, 0.6 mile and about a minute from the entrance, directly across Collier Boulevard. Two Publix stores are about 5 minutes away: Naples Lakes Village Center at 8585 Collier Blvd (2.6 miles), per the Publix Naples Lakes Village Center store page, and Berkshire Commons at 7101 Radio Rd (2.9 miles).

Another option measured from the entrance is Publix at Kings Lake Square, 4860 Davis Blvd (5.2 miles, 9 minutes). Just outside the gate, the Collier and Davis interchange has everyday dining, including Cracker Barrel on Tollgate Boulevard about 0.9 mile away. A second Collier County Costco is planned about 2.9 miles south; its opening had not been confirmed when this page was researched.

How Long Is the Drive to Downtown Naples?

Downtown Naples and Fifth Avenue South are about 8 miles and 14 to 15 minutes from Forest Glen without traffic, via Collier Boulevard, Davis Boulevard and US 41, per the OSRM route from the Forest Glen gate to downtown Naples. Third Street South measures about 9.3 miles and 18 minutes from the entrance.

That matches the club’s claim of “just a 15 minute drive to the Gulf Beaches and downtown Naples” for downtown, before traffic. In season, Davis Boulevard and US 41 slow down; a Forest Glen owner heading to dinner on Fifth Avenue South in February should plan on more than the free-flow time. For restaurant ideas across the county, see our guide to Collier County restaurants.

How Far Is the Beach From Forest Glen?

The beach at the Naples Pier is about 9.4 miles and 18 minutes from Forest Glen without traffic, the nearest Gulf beach by drive time. The Naples Pier itself is closed for a rebuild that began January 6, 2026 and is expected to take about 18 months; the beach at the pier stays open, with access around the work zone at Broad Avenue South and 13th Avenue South, per the City of Naples Naples Pier Rebuild Project page.

Other beaches measured from the entrance:

• Clam Pass Park, 465 Seagate Dr: 11.5 miles, 18 minutes.
• Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park, 11135 Gulfshore Dr: 16.5 miles, 24 minutes.
• Tigertail Beach Park on Marco Island: 15.8 miles, 28 minutes.

Parking rules and county beach permits differ by beach; see our guide to Naples beach parking.

How Far Are the Airports From Forest Glen?

Naples Airport (APF) is about 6.3 miles and 12 minutes from Forest Glen, and Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 31 miles and 37 to 39 minutes north via Interstate 75, both measured without traffic with the OSRM routing engine.

The two RSW figures come from the two origin points: 31.6 miles and 39 minutes from the gate to the terminal building, and 30.9 miles and 37 minutes from the entrance. The club describes Forest Glen as “30 minutes south” of RSW; free-flow routing says the trip is closer to 37 to 39 minutes, and more at peak hours.

How Far Is Marco Island From Forest Glen?

Marco Island is about 15 miles straight down Collier Boulevard from Forest Glen, roughly 27 to 28 minutes without traffic. Marco Island City Hall measures 15.4 miles and 27 minutes from the gate, and Tigertail Beach Park 15.8 miles and 28 minutes from the entrance, on the OSRM routing engine.

The drive is simple (one road, no turns) and it passes the Collier Boulevard Boating Park, about 11.9 miles and 20 minutes from the entrance, the nearest public boat ramp. For the island itself, see our Marco Island guide.

Where Are the Nearest Shopping Malls and Cultural Venues?

Coastland Center is the closest mall to Forest Glen, about 8.7 miles and 15 minutes away; Waterside Shops (11.5 miles, 18 minutes) and Mercato (13.7 miles, 22 minutes) are farther north. Addresses come from each center’s own site: Coastland Center at 1900 Tamiami Trail N, Waterside Shops at 5415 Tamiami Trail N and Mercato at 9110 Strada Place.

For culture, the Naples Botanical Garden at 4820 Bayshore Dr is about 8.1 miles and 15 minutes from Forest Glen, and Artis Naples, home of Hayes Hall and The Baker Museum at 5833 Pelican Bay Blvd, is about 11.8 miles and 19 minutes.

What Parks, Libraries and Boat Ramps Are Near Forest Glen?

The South Regional Library at 8065 Lely Cultural Pkwy is about 3.6 miles and 6 minutes from Forest Glen, per the Collier County Public Library South Regional Branch page, and Paradise Coast Sports Complex is about 2.0 miles and 5 minutes away. Other public recreation within 15 miles, measured from the entrance:

• Donna Fiala Eagle Lakes Community Park, 11565 Tamiami Trail E, with an aquatic complex, lighted courts and fields: 8.1 miles, 13 minutes.
• Sugden Regional Park, 4284 Avalon Dr: 7.6 miles, 14 minutes.
• Rookery Bay Environmental Learning Center, 300 Tower Rd: 6.9 miles, 11 minutes.
• Collier Boulevard Boating Park, 3620 Collier Blvd, two ramps, no fuel, open sunrise to sunset: 11.9 miles, 20 minutes.
• Collier-Seminole State Park, 20200 Tamiami Trail E, with a boat ramp to the Blackwater River: 14.5 miles, 21 minutes.

For the full county list, see our guide to Collier County parks.

The nearest houses of worship measured from Forest Glen’s entrance include Shepherd of the Glades Lutheran Church at 6020 Rattlesnake Hammock Rd (4.6 miles, 8 minutes), Temple Shalom at 4630 Pine Ridge Rd (5.2 miles, 9 minutes) and St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church at 5130 Rattlesnake Hammock Rd (6.2 miles, 11 minutes).

Addresses come from each congregation’s own listing: Shepherd of the Glades Lutheran Church, Temple Shalom Naples and St. Peter the Apostle Catholic Church. This is a sample of the nearest congregations we measured, not a complete directory; many more are within 15 minutes along Rattlesnake Hammock Road, Davis Boulevard and US 41.

Is There Public Transit Near Forest Glen?

There is no bus stop inside Forest Glen; the nearest Collier Area Transit stop is the “Davis Super Walmart” stop, about 0.6 mile from the entrance. That stop starts and ends Route 21, the Marco Island Circulator, and is also served by Routes 17, 24 and 25, per the Collier Area Transit Route 21 schedule, the Collier Area Transit Route 25 schedule and the Collier Area Transit routes page.

In practice, Forest Glen is a driving community: the gates, the private streets and the distance to Collier Boulevard mean nearly every trip starts in a car. For household staff or a guest without a car, the Walmart stop across Collier Boulevard is the transit connection.

How Far Are Fort Myers, Miami and the Everglades From Forest Glen?

Fort Myers City Hall is about 41 miles and 50 minutes from Forest Glen via Interstate 75, and Miami-Dade County Hall is about 116 miles and 2 hours 15 minutes via Alligator Alley, both measured without traffic with the OSRM routing engine.

Everglades City, the western water gateway to the Everglades, is about 34 miles and 47 minutes from the entrance, measured with the same method from the entrance, as in this OSRM route from the Forest Glen entrance. Forest Glen’s position at the east edge of Naples, a mile from the interstate, is what keeps those long trips simple: the Miami run is almost entirely interstate. For the wider Naples picture, see our Naples guide.

What Is Being Built Near Forest Glen?

The biggest projects near Forest Glen are FDOT’s $97 million rebuild of the I-75 Exit 101 interchange (estimated completion late 2026), a pending amendment that would allow an indoor sports club on Forest Glen’s own commercial corner at Collier and Beck, apartments approved across Beck Boulevard, a planned Costco 2.9 miles south, and the county landfill’s approved expansion eastward, away from Forest Glen.

Data updated: September 2026

Nothing on this list changes what happens inside the gates: every one of Forest Glen’s 799 homes is built, and the PUD allows no more. What changes is the road network and the land around the community. The records below are the county’s and the state’s own, including the Collier Board of County Commissioners agenda packet for the Forest Glen PUD amendment, FDOT’s I-75 at SR 951 interchange project page and the Clerk’s legal notices, read through September 24, 2026. Where an outcome was not yet published, we say so.

What Is the Commercial-Corner PUD Amendment?

A petition to amend the Forest Glen PUD (PL20240010278) would allow up to 36,720 square feet of indoor-only membership sports and recreation clubs on the 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards, within the tract’s existing 100,000 square foot cap, and would remove that tract’s Collier Boulevard access. The terms come from the Clerk’s legal ad for the Forest Glen of Naples PUD amendment hearing.

The added use excludes gun and shooting clubs. Indoor pickleball is the kind of use it would allow; no tenant is named in any public record we found. The corner, at 3864 Beck Blvd, is the only undeveloped part of the PUD, sits outside the gates and is not association land; it has been branded Beck Business Park. For Forest Glen owners the amendment does not add homes, raise the square-footage cap or change the gated community. For the wider picture of indoor court demand, see our guide to tennis and pickleball in Collier County.

Where Does the Commercial-Corner Amendment Stand?

The amendment was scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2026 as Summary Agenda item 17.C, and the adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched. The county’s meeting record for September 22, 2026 showed no motion or minutes yet on September 24, 2026.

The steps on the record so far:

• July 17, 2025: the Collier County Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously, per the Collier Board of County Commissioners agenda packet.
• August 4, 2026: a second neighborhood information meeting was held at the South Regional Library, per the county’s notice of the Forest Glen of Naples PUDA neighborhood information meeting.
• August 7, 2026: the club’s management submitted a letter supporting the amendment, included in the agenda packet.
• September 22, 2026: scheduled Board hearing on the Clerk’s notice page for the hearing.

We will update this page when the minutes and ordinance post.

Why Is the Collier Boulevard Driveway Going Away?

The commercial corner’s Collier Boulevard access is being removed because county staff found it “not feasible given the major interchange improvement project underway by the FDOT,” per the county staff report in the Collier Planning Commission packet. The tract would instead reach Beck Boulevard by a direct north-south connection only.

An earlier version of the petition, advertised for the July 2025 Planning Commission hearing, would also have connected the tract to the existing easterly frontage drive that connects to Beck Boulevard, per the Clerk’s legal ad for the July 17, 2025 Planning Commission hearing. After the second neighborhood meeting on August 4, 2026, that frontage-drive connection was dropped. For Forest Glen owners the change keeps commercial traffic off Collier Boulevard near the main entrance and puts it on Beck Boulevard, which the rear gate also uses.

What Rules Already Govern the Commercial Corner?

The commercial corner already carries buffer, setback and height limits that face the community. The PUD requires a 55-foot native vegetation preserve and buffer on the tract’s south line facing Forest Glen, a 75-foot south setback, a height limit of 30 feet 8 inches and no outdoor storage, per the Collier Board of County Commissioners agenda packet.

The tract has been amended before. A 2001 insubstantial change (Planning Commission Resolution 01-21) restored commercial-tract access, and Ordinance 2023-17, adopted April 11, 2023, added warehousing and flex space under the same 100,000 square foot cap, per the Clerk’s legal ad for the 2023 Forest Glen PUD amendment. The 2026 petition adds a use inside the same cap rather than enlarging the tract’s building area.

What Is FDOT Building at I-75 Exit 101?

FDOT is rebuilding the I-75 and Collier Boulevard (Exit 101) interchange at Forest Glen’s northwest corner, a $97 million project that began in early 2023 with estimated completion in late 2026, per the FDOT fact sheet for the I-75 at SR 951 interchange. The project limits run along Collier Boulevard from Business Circle South to City Gate Drive, 1.3 miles.

The design adds flyovers over Davis and Beck boulevards. A single-lane flyover from northbound Collier Boulevard starts south of Davis Boulevard and carries traffic over Beck Boulevard to a new northeast loop ramp onto I-75, and a southbound flyover crosses Davis Boulevard to a new signalized intersection at Collier Boulevard and Business Circle North, per the Marco Eagle report on the FDOT flyover. For Forest Glen, which sits south of that intersection, the flyover is designed to move interstate traffic past the Davis and Beck signals.

What Has Changed for Drivers During the Interchange Work?

During construction FDOT permanently closed the State Road 84 (Davis Boulevard) eastbound direct ramp to southbound Collier Boulevard, and it closed the outside right-turn lane from southbound Collier Boulevard to westbound Davis Boulevard through project completion, per FDOT’s I-75 at SR 951 interchange project page.

The first change matters for anyone driving home to Forest Glen from the west on Davis Boulevard: the old free-flow ramp onto southbound Collier Boulevard is gone, so that trip now goes through the intersection. FDOT posts overhead-work closures at the Collier, Davis and Beck intersection, such as its closure notice for overhead work at Collier Boulevard and Davis/Beck, and its Collier RoadWatch page is the place to check before a trip to the airport.

Is Collier Boulevard Being Widened in Front of Forest Glen?

No. The county’s Collier Boulevard Phase III widening, from 4 to 6 lanes between Green Boulevard and City Gate Boulevard North, is north of I-75 and does not change the road in front of Forest Glen, per the county’s Transportation Engineering projects page.

The project runs about 2.1 miles and carries a total budget of $66.18 million (design $1.86 million, construction $57 million, construction engineering and inspection $7.32 million). As of June 16, 2026 design was 98% complete, and a construction contract was expected before the Board in December 2026, per the Collier County 2026 third-quarter strategic priorities slides. The county describes it as the last of five projects to improve 15 miles of Collier Boulevard, from US 41 to Immokalee Road, to six lanes. Separately, the county bid a Collier Boulevard and City Gate Boulevard North intersection improvement in late 2024 (Bid 24-8319), per the Clerk’s legal notice for Bid 24-8319.

How Close Is the Collier County Landfill, and Which Way Is It Growing?

The Collier County Landfill on White Lake Boulevard is about half a mile northeast of Forest Glen’s boundary, across I-75, and on May 12, 2026 commissioners approved an expansion eastward, away from Forest Glen. The vote was unanimous: 183 acres in three phases, adding nearly 80 years of life, per the Marco Eagle report on the landfill’s eastern expansion.

The facility at 3730 White Lake Blvd covers 310.97 acres and has been operated by Waste Management since a 1995 contract, per the Collier County Landfill facility page. The same Marco Eagle report put the existing site’s remaining capacity at about 35 years and described an already approved vertical expansion, from 100 to 200 feet, expected to begin in a little under 15 years. Alternatives the county studied, including expanding south, were not chosen, per Gulfshore Business’s report on the eastward expansion.

Land-use amendments for the expansion area, all of Section 31 east of the landfill and about a mile from Forest Glen, were scheduled for a public information meeting on September 24, 2026 at Paradise Coast Sports Complex, per the Clerk’s legal ad for the Section 31 meeting.

What Is Being Built at Tollgate Across Beck Boulevard?

Across Beck Boulevard from Forest Glen, the Tollgate Commercial Center was approved in 2024 (Ordinance 2024-47) for 110 rental apartments, 33 of them affordable, on 5 acres at 3880 Tollgate Blvd. The terms come from the Clerk’s legal ad for the Tollgate housing and commercial center, and the ordinance number and unit counts from the county’s approved affordable housing inventory, January 2026.

Tollgate is an established commercial center by the Collier and Davis interchange, with everyday dining just outside Forest Glen’s gates, including Cracker Barrel on Tollgate Boulevard. The approved apartments add housing to that commercial area on the north side of Beck Boulevard. They are outside Forest Glen and have no access to its private streets, gates or club.

What Are Magnolia Pond and Bonita Flores?

Magnolia Pond and Bonita Flores are two approved apartment and home projects near Forest Glen that include affordable units. North of I-75, Magnolia Pond was approved in 2025 (Ordinance 2025-46) for up to 550 homes, 165 of them affordable, with Habitat for Humanity, raising the allowed count from 231, per the Clerk’s legal ad for the Magnolia Pond PUD amendment and the county’s affordable housing inventory.

About 1.7 miles south of Forest Glen, the 8928 Collier Boulevard RPUD, known as Bonita Flores, was approved unanimously on October 28, 2025 for 92 apartments, 28 of them affordable, about 1,300 feet north of Hacienda Lakes Parkway on the east side of Collier Boulevard, per the Clerk’s legal ad for the 8928 Collier Boulevard RPUD and Gulfshore Business’s report on the East Naples workforce apartments. Both add traffic to the Collier Boulevard corridor over time.

When Will the Costco at Rattlesnake Hammock Open?

A second Collier County Costco is planned at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road in Hacienda Lakes, about 2.9 miles and 5 minutes south of Forest Glen, but an opening had not been confirmed when this page was researched. A March 2026 Marco Eagle report on the south Naples Costco said it could open by fall 2026.

The store is planned at about 162,700 square feet with 24 fuel positions on the southeast corner of the intersection, on a site of about 25.9 acres, per the Clerk’s legal ad for Costco Wholesale in Hacienda Lakes. For Forest Glen that means warehouse-club shopping and fuel a straight 5-minute drive down Collier Boulevard once it opens, and more turning traffic at Rattlesnake Hammock Road.

What Is Caymas, the Community Next Door?

Caymas, a newer community by Stock Development with its own community development district, borders Forest Glen to the south. The county’s Community Development Districts layer shows the Caymas district touching Forest Glen’s boundary.

The developer says a 30,000 square foot clubhouse is slated for fall 2026, per the Caymas community developer site, which also lists pickleball and tennis courts among planned amenities. The contrast with Forest Glen is useful to a buyer: Caymas is new construction financed partly through a community development district, while Forest Glen is fully built, has no community development district on its tax bills and owns its golf course and clubhouse through its master association. Across Collier Boulevard to the west are the established golf communities of Cedar Hammock and Naples Heritage.

What Is the Paradise Coast Tourist Tax Vote?

On November 3, 2026, Collier County voters decide whether to raise the tourist development tax from 5 to 6 cents, mainly to fund Paradise Coast Sports Complex Phase 4 (11 multipurpose fields) and Phase 5 (an indoor fieldhouse), per the Naples Press report on the tourist tax education campaign.

The same report said the increase would take effect January 1, 2027 if approved, raise about $10 million a year, and direct about 70% of it to the complex, and that the planned fieldhouse would host sports including volleyball, basketball and pickleball. The tourist development tax is charged on short-term lodging, not on a Forest Glen owner’s property tax bill. Paradise Coast Sports Complex at 3940 City Gate Blvd N is about 2.0 miles and 5 minutes from Forest Glen. The result is not known until election night.

What Is the School District Building Near Forest Glen?

Nothing within 3 miles. The school district’s current capital plan names no new school within 3 miles of Forest Glen; its new schools are Bear Creek Elementary and an Elementary “Q” in Ave Maria, per the Collier County Public Schools capital improvement plan for fiscal years 2026 to 2045.

The district does hold a 19.55 acre parcel in Hacienda Lakes about 1.9 miles from Forest Glen, but no document reviewed designates it as a school site. Forest Glen’s current assignments, Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High, are covered in the schools section above.

What Other Public Projects Are Near Forest Glen?

Two other public items shape the area around Forest Glen: the county’s Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension far to the north, and the Collier County Sheriff’s Office substation in the Lely Cultural Parkway area. Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Phase One, from Collier Boulevard to 16th Street NE, was set to open June 12, 2026, per the county’s Vanderbilt Beach Road Extension Phase One opening notice, adding an east-west route far north on Collier Boulevard.

The nearest Collier County Sheriff’s Office district substation is at 8075 Lely Cultural Parkway (District 3, East Naples), per the Collier County Sheriff’s Office patrol districts page. Which patrol district covers Forest Glen was not confirmed for this page. The fire side is closer still: Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits at 3820 Beck Blvd on Forest Glen’s northern edge.

What Does All This Construction Mean for Forest Glen Owners?

For Forest Glen owners, nearby growth mostly means more shopping and services within 5 minutes and more traffic on Collier Boulevard, with no change inside the gates. The community is fully built at 799 homes, the commercial corner’s cap stays at 100,000 square feet, and the landfill is growing away from Forest Glen rather than toward it.

The items worth watching are dated: the Board’s written decision on the commercial-corner amendment, FDOT’s interchange completion (estimated late 2026), the Costco opening and the November 3, 2026 tourist tax vote. A buyer comparing Forest Glen with newer communities to the south should weigh a built-out, preserve-bordered community against new construction still under way next door.

How Does Forest Glen Compare With Other East Naples Golf Communities?

Forest Glen has the lowest median single-family assessed value and the lowest median single-family estimated tax of five East Naples golf communities measured the same way on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll: $665,268 and $4,328.61, against $742,442 to $807,173 and $5,787.58 to $7,021.05 elsewhere. Its condominium median of $310,485 sits mid-pack, and its 45 recorded qualified sales carry a $445,000 median.

Data updated: September 2026

The five communities below are Forest Glen, Naples Lakes Country Club, Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club, Cedar Hammock Golf and Country Club and Eagle Creek Golf and Country Club. Every figure in the table comes from one query design run against the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll layer and one reading of the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary Collier roll file. Assessed values are the county’s 2026 preliminary total just values, not prices; the last column is the only one that shows prices people actually paid.

Forest Glen vs four East Naples golf communities: 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll (ASSESSED values, not prices) and recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Same method for all five.

Table notes: “Single-family” is the state’s single-family use code and “condominium-coded” is the state’s condominium use code on the county roll. The county roll codes Forest Glen’s 54 Periwinkle villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots. Estimated taxes are the county’s 2026 preliminary roll estimate, not a tax bill; final 2026 rates are set at the September hearings and appear on the November bill. Recorded sales are qualified sales with a 2025 or 2026 sale year in either of the two sale slots the state file keeps for each parcel; the latest sale month in the file is April 2026, and one Britannia IV unit has no row in the state file, so Forest Glen’s sales come from 798 parcels. These are not MLS statistics.

How We Built This Benchmark

We built this benchmark by drawing each community’s boundary from the county’s own planned unit development map and counting only homes inside it. For each of the five communities we took the outline from the Collier County PUD boundary layer, kept the residential subdivision and condominium codes whose parcels fall inside that outline, and ran the same filter (those codes plus the single-family and condominium use codes) against the county’s 2026 preliminary roll.

That is the exact method behind every Forest Glen number on this page. The Forest Glen query returns 799 homes, which reconciles to the 799-unit cap in the county’s current Forest Glen PUD text in the September 22, 2026 agenda packet and to the 658 condominium units the state lists in its Division of Condominiums filings extract plus 141 platted lots. You can rerun the Forest Glen query yourself from the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll query for Forest Glen’s 14 subdivision codes.

Medians follow one rule throughout: with an even count, the median is the mean of the middle pair, and we say so where it matters. In the last 12 months we have built public-record benchmarks for five East Naples golf communities with this method, so a Forest Glen number and a Naples Lakes number mean the same thing.

Three communities that searchers often pair with Forest Glen were attempted and left out because their records do not draw a clean line. Countryside Golf and Country Club’s homes are split across several differently named codes inside the larger Berkshire Lakes PUD, and one Countryside-named code is a commercial condominium. Glen Eagle Golf and Country Club shares the Bretonne Park PUD with Embassy Woods. Lely Resort holds several clubs inside one development of regional impact. Publishing a number for any of them would mean guessing at a boundary, so we did not.

Naples Lakes Country Club vs Forest Glen

Naples Lakes Country Club is the higher-priced of the two on every public measure: its single-family, condominium and recorded-sale medians all run well above Forest Glen’s. On the 2026 preliminary roll, Naples Lakes’ 230 single-family homes carry a median assessed value of $805,854 (an even count, so the mean of $804,029 and $807,678), about $140,600 above Forest Glen’s $665,268. Its 501 condominium-coded homes median $462,920 against Forest Glen’s $310,485, a gap of about $152,400, the widest condominium gap in the set.

The recorded sales tell the same story. The state file shows 51 qualified Naples Lakes sales in 2025 and 2026 with a $620,000 median, against 45 Forest Glen sales at $445,000. Part of that gap is mix: Naples Lakes has a far larger single-family share (230 of 731 homes, about 31%) than Forest Glen (87 of 799, about 11%), so a community-wide median leans toward houses there and toward condominiums here.

Naples Lakes also carries the highest single-family tax median of the five, $7,021.05 on the county’s 2026 preliminary roll estimate, and it sits in millage area 105 at the same 10.4020 preliminary rate the roll applies to Forest Glen’s millage area 39. The difference in tax is value and homestead status, not rate. The homestead count on the roll is 346 of 731 homes at Naples Lakes and 310 of 799 at Forest Glen. For the club, the neighborhoods and the buying process there, read our Naples Lakes Country Club guide.

Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club vs Forest Glen

Naples Heritage Golf and Country Club is Forest Glen’s closest match on condominium values and its direct neighbor: it sits across Collier Boulevard from Forest Glen on the county PUD boundary layer, and it also counts exactly 799 residential parcels on the 2026 roll.

The two part ways on houses. Naples Heritage’s 101 single-family homes median $760,749 assessed, about $95,500 above Forest Glen, and their median estimated tax is $7,008.13 against Forest Glen’s $4,328.61. Part of the tax gap is rate: Naples Heritage straddles two millage areas on the roll, one computed at 10.5882 mills and one at 10.4020, while all of Forest Glen sits in one area at 10.4020. The rest is value and homestead status.

On condominiums the two are close: $332,800 at Naples Heritage against $310,485 at Forest Glen, a gap of about $22,300. The recorded-sale medians are also close, 63 sales at $465,000 against 45 at $445,000, and both communities show 310 homestead parcels. The county’s GIS outline of the Naples Heritage PUD (Ordinance 95-74) measures about 556 acres against about 630 for Forest Glen. We do not have a live guide for Naples Heritage yet; the comparison here uses the same county records as everything else on this page.

Cedar Hammock Golf and Country Club vs Forest Glen

Cedar Hammock Golf and Country Club, the other neighbor across Collier Boulevard, has the highest single-family assessed median of the five and a condominium median almost level with Forest Glen’s. Cedar Hammock’s 65 single-family homes median $807,173 on the 2026 preliminary roll, about $141,900 above Forest Glen, while its 734 condominium-coded homes median $335,978, about $25,500 above Forest Glen’s $310,485.

Like Naples Heritage, Cedar Hammock counts exactly 799 residential parcels on the roll, and it is even more condominium-weighted than Forest Glen (65 houses, 734 condominium-coded homes). That mix is why its recorded-sale median, 49 sales at $350,000 in the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary roll file, falls below Forest Glen’s $445,000 even though Cedar Hammock’s assessed medians sit higher. A community-wide sale median follows whatever sold, and Cedar Hammock’s sales lean toward its condominium stock.

Cedar Hammock’s single-family tax median is $5,984.99 on the 2026 preliminary roll estimate, in the same 10.4020-mill preliminary rate set, with 286 homestead parcels. The county’s GIS outline of the Cedar Hammock PUD (Ordinance 98-115) measures about 416 acres, so the same 799 homes sit on roughly two-thirds of Forest Glen’s land. For the club and neighborhoods there, see our Cedar Hammock guide.

Eagle Creek Golf and Country Club vs Forest Glen

Eagle Creek Golf and Country Club is the smallest community in the set and the one place where condominium values run below Forest Glen’s. Its 299 condominium-coded homes median $252,460 on the 2026 preliminary roll, about $58,000 under Forest Glen’s $310,485, and its condominium tax median is $2,343.90 against Forest Glen’s $2,824.15.

On houses the order flips. Eagle Creek’s 159 single-family homes median $742,442 assessed, about $77,200 above Forest Glen, with a single-family tax median of $5,787.58. Eagle Creek is in ZIP 34113 and millage area 53 at the same 10.4020 preliminary rate. Its 43 recorded qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 median $345,000, the lowest in the set, again reflecting what sold rather than what the houses are worth. The roll shows 143 homestead parcels among its 458 homes.

For a Forest Glen condominium owner, Eagle Creek is the one peer where the public record shows lower condominium values; for a Forest Glen house owner, it is one of four peers where single-family values run higher. We do not have a live Eagle Creek guide yet.

Why Forest Glen Has the Lowest Single-Family Assessed Median

Forest Glen’s single-family median is the lowest of the five because its 87 houses are one product family built in one short window, not because the county values Forest Glen land less. All 87 were built from 1999 to 2002 per the state roll file’s year-built field, and 69 of them are the Jungle Plum East homes of 2,176 to 2,746 square feet, whose 2026 preliminary median is $657,833.

The 18 Jungle Plum West estate homes, 2,473 to 4,284 square feet on lots up to about 0.47 acre, median $988,045, well above any peer’s single-family median. Because they are only 18 of 87, they barely move the community median. A buyer comparing like with like should compare a Jungle Plum West estate with a peer’s larger homes, and a Jungle Plum East home with a peer’s mid-size houses, rather than reading one community median against another.

The second driver is land. Forest Glen spends its acreage on preserve: about 352 acres of native vegetation in eight recorded preserve tracts, more than half of about 630 acres, per the county Planning Commission staff report. That is a lifestyle feature, not a line on the roll; the roll values each lot, not the preserve behind it.

Estimated Taxes Side by Side

Forest Glen’s single-family tax median, $4,328.61 on the 2026 preliminary roll estimate, is about $1,450 to $2,700 below the other four communities, and its condominium tax median of $2,824.15 sits in the middle. The rate is not the reason: the county roll computes Forest Glen, Naples Lakes, Cedar Hammock and Eagle Creek at the same 10.4020 preliminary mills, and only part of Naples Heritage is computed higher.

Three things drive the gaps. First is assessed value, covered above. Second is the homestead exemption and the Save Our Homes cap: on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll, two identical Barrington units valued at $419,400 carry estimated taxes of $4,362.61 without a homestead exemption and $2,228.05 with homestead and the cap. Third is who owns what: 60 of Forest Glen’s 87 houses carry homestead, which pulls the single-family median down.

Forest Glen also has no Community Development District, so no CDD bond assessment is added to the bill; you can check the county CDD boundary layer for any address. Single-family bills do carry the county’s District 1 garbage charge ($261.91 on a 2025 Jungle Plum Drive bill). A buyer’s first-year bill will not match the seller’s if the seller holds homestead, because the Save Our Homes benefit does not transfer.

Recorded Sales Across the Five Communities

Recorded qualified sales put Forest Glen third of five on median price, at $445,000 on 45 sales in 2025 and early 2026, behind Naples Lakes ($620,000, 51 sales) and Naples Heritage ($465,000, 63 sales) and ahead of Cedar Hammock ($350,000, 49 sales) and Eagle Creek ($345,000, 43 sales).

These medians describe the mix of homes that happened to sell, so read them with the home-type split in mind. Inside Forest Glen, the same state file shows five Jungle Plum East sales at an $835,000 median (small sample) and 15 Britannia condominium sales at a $337,000 median (small sample by neighborhood, but the most traded part of the community). A quarter with more Britannia closings pulls the Forest Glen median down; a quarter with more Jungle Plum closings pulls it up.

Sale prices ran above 2026 preliminary assessed values everywhere: Britannia’s $337,000 sale median sits against a $266,500 assessed median. Compare communities to each other on the same basis, and never read an assessed value as an asking price. The Southwest Florida MLS layer (days on market, sale-to-list ratios, listings and price per square foot) is in the market section; Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS report on request at (239) 898-6072.

Why Club Fees Are Not in the Table

Club and association fees are left out because none of the five communities publishes its dues on a first-party page, so any number would be a guess. Forest Glen’s own club site keeps its golf pages behind a member login and posts no fee schedule on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club website.

What the record does show for Forest Glen is structure. Master association and club dues are billed quarterly on one statement, and capital projects have been assessed to every member: in 2016 the master board approved a $949,376 outdoor dining facility and assessed each member $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters, per the club’s notice on the outdoor dining renovation. Condominium owners pay three layers (master, neighborhood or commons, condominium); single-family and villa owners pay two.

The document that shows the real number for one specific home is the estoppel certificate, which Florida caps at $299 plus $119 for expedited delivery under the state estoppel certificate fee schedule. Fee figures on agent and aggregator sites cite no budget and disagree with each other, so we do not repeat them. When you compare Forest Glen with a peer, compare the estoppel and the budgets side by side.

What the Gaps Mean for Forest Glen Sellers

For a Forest Glen seller, the benchmark is a pricing argument: the same buyer who tours Naples Heritage or Cedar Hammock across Collier Boulevard will see Forest Glen houses assessed $95,000 to $140,000 lower and taxed less, with a course golfers ranked No. 2 in Florida in 2023.

That positioning cuts two ways. A Jungle Plum East or Jungle Plum West seller can present the lower tax median and the preserve setting as value against the higher-assessed houses across the road. A Bishopwood East or Britannia seller is in a tighter race: condominium medians at Naples Heritage ($332,800) and Cedar Hammock ($335,978) sit within about $26,000 of Forest Glen’s, and Eagle Creek’s run lower. Condominium sellers win on the specifics: the building’s flood zone, its insurance declarations page, its reserve position and the club.

The course is the lever no peer can copy. Golfer reviews on Golf Advisor (now GolfPass) ranked Forest Glen No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016 per the Golf Advisor 2016 course-conditions list, and No. 2 in Florida in the GolfPass Golfers’ Choice 2023 Florida list.

What the Gaps Mean for Forest Glen Buyers

For a buyer, the benchmark says Forest Glen is the value entry to single-family golf living in this corner of East Naples and a middle-of-the-market choice for condominiums. The lowest single-family assessed median and tax median of the five come with club membership bundled with the home: the club calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on its Real Estate page.

The trade-offs to weigh against the peers are specific. Fees are unpublished everywhere, so you compare estoppels, not brochures. Several Forest Glen condominium buildings sit in FEMA Zone AH (shallow ponding), while the single-family streets are almost entirely unshaded Zone X, so the flood zone of the exact building matters more than the community name. Buyers who want newer construction should note that every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005.

Communities Google Pairs With Forest Glen

Google’s “people also search for” set pairs Forest Glen with Glen Eagle, Countryside, Naples Lakes and Cypress Woods golf communities, which is why three of them are named on this page even where the records do not allow a number. Naples Lakes is in the table. Countryside and Glen Eagle were attempted and left out because their county records do not draw a clean boundary around the golf community alone, as explained above.

Cypress Woods was not part of this benchmark. If you are weighing Forest Glen against any golf community not in the table, we will run the same county-roll method on it for you and show you both sets of numbers on one page. Selling first?

Forest Glen vs Cedar Hammock: Which East Naples Golf Community Should You Choose?

Forest Glen and Cedar Hammock Golf and Country Club face each other across Collier Boulevard and each count exactly 799 homes on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, so buyers weigh them against each other more than any other pair. Forest Glen offers more land and preserve, more houses and lower single-family values; Cedar Hammock is more condominium-weighted and denser.

Data updated: September 2026

The two communities are the closest like-for-like comparison in East Naples. Both are gated golf and country club communities zoned under their own county planned unit development ordinances (Forest Glen of Naples, Ordinance 99-69; Cedar Hammock, Ordinance 98-115), both sit about a mile from Interstate 75 Exit 101, and both carry the same 10.4020-mill preliminary 2026 rate on the county roll. What separates them is land, mix and value, and every figure below comes from one query design run against the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll layer, the Collier County PUD boundary layer and the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary Collier roll file. Assessed values are not prices.

Forest Glen vs Cedar Hammock Decision Table

Forest Glen wins on land, preserve and single-family value; Cedar Hammock offers a larger condominium share on the west side of the boulevard. The table sets the two side by side on the public record, with the record named in each row.

Why Forest Glen Has More Room for the Same 799 Homes

Forest Glen spreads its 799 homes across roughly 630 acres, about 214 acres more than Cedar Hammock’s roughly 416 acres, and most of the difference is recorded preserve. The Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025 records about 352 acres of native preserve inside Forest Glen, which is why so many Forest Glen buildings and lots back onto pine flatwoods and cypress rather than onto another row of homes. A buyer who wants density lower than the Collier Boulevard corridor norm will feel that difference on the first drive through the gate.

Why Cedar Hammock’s Sale Median Sits Below Forest Glen’s

Cedar Hammock’s recorded-sale median of $350,000 sits below Forest Glen’s $445,000 even though Cedar Hammock’s assessed medians run higher, and the reason is mix. Cedar Hammock has 734 condominium-coded homes to Forest Glen’s 712, and a community-wide sale median follows whatever sold. Compare like with like: a Forest Glen condominium against a Cedar Hammock condominium, a Forest Glen house against a Cedar Hammock house. Neither median is an MLS statistic; Jesse will pull a current MLS comparison of both communities on request at (239) 898-6072.

Who Should Choose Forest Glen, and Who Should Choose Cedar Hammock

Choose Forest Glen if preserve views, a lower single-family entry point among the five East Naples golf peers, and the most land per home in the set matter most. Choose Cedar Hammock if you want a condominium-weighted community on the west side of the boulevard, a slightly shorter drive toward the Gulf and downtown, and you are comfortable paying a higher assessed single-family median for it.

Either way, the decision turns on the specific building or street, not the community average, so compare the estoppel certificates, the FEMA zone of the exact building and the recorded sales of the exact neighborhood before you write an offer. For the club and neighborhoods on the other side of the boulevard, read our Cedar Hammock guide, and for the higher-priced peer to the north, our Naples Lakes Country Club guide.

What Are the Honest Pros and Cons of Living in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen’s strengths are a highly ranked Arthur Hills course that comes with the home, about 352 acres of recorded preserve, the lowest single-family assessed values of five East Naples golf peers, and I-75 about a mile away. Its weak points are unpublished fees, Zone AH flood mapping on some condominium buildings, 1999 to 2005 construction, a wildland edge, a landfill across I-75 and beaches 18 to 28 minutes away.

Data updated: September 2026

Every point below carries its public-record source. None of them is a secret: they are what a careful buyer finds with enough reading, and what a well-prepared seller answers before the buyer asks.

The Pros

Forest Glen’s pros are the course, the preserve, the value against its peers and the location for daily errands.

• An award-ranked course included with the home. Golfer reviews on Golf Advisor (now GolfPass) ranked Forest Glen No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016, and the GolfPass Golfers’ Choice 2023 Florida list ranked it No. 2 in the state, based on 69,738 reviews of 518 Florida courses.
• A course that keeps getting reinvested in. The 1999 Gordon Lewis layout was redesigned by Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest and reopened December 1, 2008; for the club’s 25th anniversary in 2024, Ron Forse Design refined it and the greens were converted to TifEagle, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club home page.
• The homeowners own the club. The golf course, clubhouse, maintenance site, roads and all eight preserves are titled to the master association on the county parcel layer, about 578 acres in 17 parcels. No outside owner can sell the course out from under the community.
• More than half the community is preserve. About 352 acres of native vegetation sit in eight recorded preserve tracts, the largest about 257 acres, per the county Planning Commission staff report, and the club’s site map marks a paved nature trail of about 1.9 miles.
• Value against its golf-community peers. On the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, Forest Glen’s single-family median of $665,268 and single-family tax median of $4,328.61 are the lowest of five East Naples golf communities measured the same way.
• A wide range of home types in one gate. The 799 homes run from 1,170 square foot Britannia condominiums to 4,284 square foot Jungle Plum West estates, across coach homes, garden homes, twin villas and single-family houses, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary roll file.
• I-75 and errands in minutes. Interstate 75 Exit 101 is about a mile from the gate, the Walmart Supercenter at 9885 Collier Blvd is 0.6 mile away, and the Publix at Naples Lakes Village Center is 2.6 miles, measured without traffic on OSRM routing from the Forest Glen gate.
• A hospital close by. The nearest 24-hour ER, Physicians Regional’s Collier Boulevard hospital at 8300 Collier Blvd, is about 3 miles and 5 to 7 minutes south.
• A-rated zoned elementary school. Every Forest Glen address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High for 2026 to 2027, and Lely Elementary earned an A in 2024, 2025 and 2026 in the Florida Department of Education 2026 school grades.
• Racquet sports and a 24-hour gym. Four dedicated, lighted pickleball courts with East Naples inter-league play, a USPTA-led tennis program, league bocce on clay courts and a fitness center open 24 hours, per the club’s pickleball page and staff directory.
• No CDD debt on the tax bill. No Community Development District covers Forest Glen, so there is no CDD bond assessment, confirmed on the county CDD boundary layer.
• Evacuation Zone D and a fire station at the edge. Collier County places Forest Glen in hurricane evacuation Zone D on its evacuation zone layer, and Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits at 3820 Beck Blvd on the northern edge.

The Cons

Forest Glen’s cons are costs you cannot see until you ask, flood mapping that varies by building, the age of the homes and the neighbors outside the gates.

• Fees are unpublished. Current dues, any capital contribution or fund fee, any food and beverage minimum and cart fees are not published on any first-party page; the club’s golf page is behind a member login. The estoppel certificate is where a buyer sees the real number for one home.
• Up to three association layers. Twenty-one active associations govern Forest Glen, and condominium owners pay master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium assessments; each layer’s amount sits in its own budget, and every member can be assessed for club capital projects, as in the 2016 $1,290 assessment in the club’s outdoor dining notice.
• Zone AH on some buildings, and 2012 LOMAs not carried forward. On FEMA’s February 8, 2024 map, 13 of 23 Barrington buildings, 10 of 16 Bishopwood East, 10 of 26 Bishopwood West and both Britannia IV buildings are mapped Zone AH, a special flood hazard area of shallow ponding. FEMA issued Letters of Map Amendment in 2012 for many of these buildings under the old map, but FEMA’s current letter-of-map-change layer lists them as not incorporated into the 2024 map. Lenders decide insurance requirements building by building from the current map.
• Zone D is not “no surge.” The state’s regional storm-surge planning layer, which models the worst case for each storm category, includes Forest Glen inside its Category 3 surge zone.
• Homes built 1999 to 2005. Every home dates from 1999 to 2005 per the state roll file, straddling Florida’s first statewide building code in 2002 and predating the current code. Any original roof, window, shutter or air-conditioning component would now be more than 20 years old, and original opening protection varies by building permit.
• Britannia’s condominium safety-law obligations. Britannia’s nine four-story buildings are the only Forest Glen buildings under Florida’s milestone inspection and Structural Integrity Reserve Study laws; all four Britannia associations appear in the state’s SIRS reporting database, and their first milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s. Reserve funding under those studies can raise condominium budgets.
• A landfill across I-75. The Collier County Landfill on White Lake Boulevard is about half a mile northeast of Forest Glen’s boundary, across I-75, per the county landfill facility page; on May 12, 2026 commissioners approved an expansion eastward, away from Forest Glen, reported by the Marco Eagle. No complaint record was reviewed for this page.
• I-75 and Collier Boulevard traffic and construction. FDOT’s $97 million rebuild of the I-75 and Collier Boulevard interchange, with flyovers over Davis and Beck boulevards, has an estimated completion of late 2026 per the FDOT interchange fact sheet, and the SR 84 eastbound direct ramp to southbound Collier Boulevard was permanently closed. Every drive time on this page is measured without traffic; in season, add time on Collier and Davis.
• The April 2026 wildfire alert. During the Newman Road Fire in the Picayune Strand area (April 13 to 15, 2026, 1,733 acres, 60% contained by April 15), Forest Glen was included in evacuation alerts; WGCU reported that evacuations were lifted for the Forest Glen community. No report found describes damage inside Forest Glen, but the eastern preserve is a real wildland edge.
• Beaches are 18 to 28 minutes away, and there is no marina. The beach at the Naples Pier is about 9.4 miles and 18 minutes away without traffic (the pier itself is closed for a rebuild that began January 6, 2026), and Tigertail Beach on Marco Island is about 28 minutes, per Collier County Parks. Forest Glen has no marina, boat slips or beach club.
• Summer schedules and wildlife. From May 1 to October 18 the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays, and the preserve brings alligators close: in July 2023 a man walking in the 3800 block of Forest Glen Boulevard was bitten by an alligator of nearly 7 feet, per the Naples Daily News.
• A commercial corner still in play. A petition to allow up to 36,720 square feet of indoor-only membership sports and recreation club space on the 9.6 acre corner at Collier and Beck was scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2026, per the county agenda packet; the adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched.

Who Forest Glen Fits Best

Forest Glen fits buyers who want golf included with the home, a preserve setting and a choice of home types from a two-bedroom condominium to an estate house, at values below the golf communities across Collier Boulevard.

• Golfers who want a ranked course without a separate club purchase. Membership is bundled with ownership, and the course has been renovated twice since 2008. The exact membership classes are set in the recorded declaration and club documents.
• Buyers who want the lowest-cost door into a golf-course community here. Britannia condominiums, 1,170 to 1,567 square feet in four-story elevator buildings, recorded a $337,000 median on 15 qualified sales in 2025 and early 2026 (state roll file), the entry point to Forest Glen ownership.
• Buyers who want a two-story coach or garden home outside the SIRS mandate. The Barrington and Bishopwood buildings are two-story, so they fall outside Florida’s milestone inspection and SIRS laws, which apply to condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more under Florida Statutes 553.899.
• Buyers who want a house on the most consistently Zone X streets. Jungle Plum East, Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Way addresses are almost entirely unshaded Zone X on the 2024 map (144 of 160 county address points in the single-family and villa area), which is not a Special Flood Hazard Area. Each address still needs its own check.
• Buyers who value space over newness. Jungle Plum West’s 18 estate homes run 2,473 to 4,284 square feet on lots up to about 0.47 acre, the largest in Forest Glen.
• Pickleball, tennis and bocce players. The racquet program runs daily open play, inter-league teams and in-season bocce leagues.
• Buyers who drive I-75 often. The gate is about a mile from Exit 101, with RSW about 37 to 39 minutes away without traffic.
• Owners who may lease in season. The club’s Rentals Wanted board shows repeat renters seeking one- to three-month February and March stays, often golf-inclusive; lease rules are set in each association’s documents.

Who Might Look Elsewhere

Forest Glen is the wrong fit for buyers who need water access, new construction, published fees or a beachside address.

• Boaters. There is no marina, slip or private ramp; the nearest public ramp, Collier Boulevard Boating Park, is about 20 minutes down Collier Boulevard.
• Buyers who want to walk or bike to the Gulf. The nearest beach is about 18 minutes by car without traffic.
• Buyers who want new construction and current-code everything. Every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005. Caymas, a newer community by Stock Development, borders Forest Glen to the south.
• Buyers who need a fee number before touring. No association publishes its budget on a public page; the numbers come from the budget and the estoppel.
• Buyers who do not want a club membership bundled with the home. Membership comes with ownership, and every member shares club capital assessments.
• Buyers who want no flood insurance question at all. Choose the building with care: several condominium buildings are mapped Zone AH, and lenders decide insurance requirements building by building.
• Buyers who want distance from highways and industrial neighbors. The interchange, Beck Boulevard’s commercial corner and the landfill across I-75 are all part of the location.

If you’re searching for the best Forest Glen listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need to sell my house in Forest Glen…’ McGreevy and Comisar are the team built for it. We know the 21 associations, the estoppel, the building-by-building flood map and Britannia’s SIRS file, and we price from recorded sales, not portal guesses. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate.

Data updated: September 2026

Selling in Forest Glen is not like selling a house on an open street. A buyer here is buying into a master association that owns the course, a neighborhood or commons association, and for 658 of the 799 homes a condominium association as well, per the Florida Division of Condominiums filings extract. Each layer has documents a buyer’s lender, insurer and attorney will ask for. The sellers who net the most are the ones whose paperwork answers the questions before a buyer asks them.

What Forest Glen Homes Recorded for in 2025 and 2026

Forest Glen homes recorded a $445,000 median on 45 qualified sales in 2025 and early 2026, from $245,000 to $990,000, in the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary roll file. The table breaks those sales out by segment and neighborhood.

Recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), sale years 2025 and 2026

Table notes: qualified sales only, with a 2025 or 2026 sale year in either of the two sale slots the state file keeps per parcel; the latest sale month in the file is April 2026. The file covers 798 of the 799 homes (one Britannia IV unit has no row). The county roll codes the 54 Periwinkle villa lots as condominium; by legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units and 141 platted lots. These are recorded sale prices, not MLS statistics.

Two readings matter to a seller. First, recorded prices ran above 2026 preliminary assessed values in every neighborhood: Britannia’s $337,000 sale median sits against a $266,500 assessed median, and Barrington’s $545,100 against $438,035 on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll, so an assessed value is a floor for conversation, not a price. Second, most neighborhood samples are small; one sale moves a median. The Southwest Florida MLS layer (days on market, sale-to-list ratios, listings and price per square foot) is in the market section; Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS report on request at (239) 898-6072.

What Is Your Forest Glen Home Worth? Get a Free Valuation in 60 Seconds.

Your Forest Glen home’s value depends on its neighborhood, its floor plan, its floor level or lot, its flood zone and its updates, and the fastest way to a number is our free Forest Glen home valuation. It takes about 60 seconds, and we follow it with a comparative market analysis built from current MLS closings and the recorded sales above.

Floor plans repeat inside each neighborhood (Britannia uses six plans, Bishopwood East four, Bishopwood West three, Barrington two and Periwinkle four, per the state roll file), so a well-built comparison matches your plan to the same plan’s recent closings rather than to a neighborhood average. That plan-level matching is the difference between a price that holds and one that sits.

How We Market a Forest Glen Home

We market a Forest Glen home by selling the course, the preserve and the value against the peers, and by putting every document a buyer needs in the listing package from day one. The course rankings, the renovations of 2008 and 2024, the about 352 acres of recorded preserve and the lowest single-family assessed median of five East Naples golf peers are the story; the paperwork is what closes it.

The club itself is part of the marketing. The club invites owners to list homes for sale and for rent on its website free of charge and posts open houses on Fridays for Saturday and Sunday showings from 1 to 4 PM, per the club’s Real Estate page and open house list. We use the club’s boards alongside full MLS exposure, and we speak the club’s language: its categories (executive homes, estates, twin villas, coach homes, garden homes, condominiums) and floor-plan names such as Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow coach homes or Braxton and Cornell garden homes.

Club transfer and the estoppel

The estoppel certificate is the one document that tells a buyer exactly what is owed at closing on your home: dues, assessments and any transfer or capital charge. Florida caps the fee any association may charge for it at $299, plus $119 for expedited delivery and up to $179 more if the account is delinquent, per the state estoppel certificate fee schedule. A Forest Glen condominium sale can need estoppels from the master, the neighborhood or commons association and the condominium association, each run by a different office: Cambridge Management handles the Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia entities on the state records, Complete Property Management of SW Florida handles Jungle Plum East, and Tropical Isles Management handles Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas. We order early so no estoppel delays closing.

If your buyer plans to rent before moving in, note that renters obtain club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings on the club’s rental board state the renter pays the club’s transfer fee; the club does not publish the amount.

Condo documents and the Britannia SIRS disclosure

For a condominium sale we assemble the declaration, budget, rules, insurance declarations page and reserve information before the listing goes live. Every Florida condominium association must carry adequate property insurance with replacement cost set at least every three years under Florida Statutes 718.111, and buyers now ask whether the master policy includes flood coverage and what the wind deductible is.

Britannia sellers need one more file. Britannia’s nine four-story buildings are the only Forest Glen condominiums under the Structural Integrity Reserve Study law in Florida Statutes 718.112, and all four Britannia associations appear in the state’s SIRS reporting database. We put the study and the reserve schedule in front of buyers at the start, because a buyer who finds them late renegotiates. The first milestone inspections for Britannia fall due in the early to mid 2030s, 30 years after each building’s certificate of occupancy; the state’s condominium inspections page publishes the rules and filings.

Flood elevation certificates and LOMA prep

Flood questions are answered building by building in Forest Glen, and the seller who has the paper answers them in the seller’s favor. We pull your building’s zone from Collier County’s structure-level address points over FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer and include a FIRMette from the FEMA Map Service Center.

If your building is mapped Zone AH, the history helps. FEMA’s letters describe the local flood source as “ponding/overland flow,” not storm surge. Surveyed ground at the 2012 LOMA buildings ran 12.0 to 13.8 feet NAVD88, above the only base-flood-elevation line FEMA draws across Forest Glen on the current map, 10.5 feet NAVD88. Because those 2012 letters are listed as not incorporated into the 2024 map, many AH buildings appear to be candidates for a new LOMA, which is a per-building engineering question for the association and a surveyor. An elevation certificate, like the county-held certificate for a Jungle Plum Drive East home showing a finished floor of 13.0 feet NAVD88, gives a buyer’s insurance agent a real number to quote from.

Preparing a 1999 to 2005 home: roof, windows, impact glass, HVAC

Every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005, so buyers, inspectors and insurers will ask how old the roof, windows, shutters and air conditioning are. Answer that with dates and permits, not adjectives.

Forest Glen’s Florida Building Code design wind speed is 163 mph for homes and condominiums, which places it in the wind-borne debris region, so new or replacement windows and doors need impact-rated products or approved opening protection, per the Florida Building Commission wind-borne debris report. If you have replaced windows with impact glass, added shutters, replaced a roof or installed a new HVAC system, gather the permit numbers, dates and invoices; if you have not, we will help you decide which of those is worth doing before listing and which is better priced into the offer. In the condominiums, roofs and exterior elements are typically building-level items in the association’s budget and reserves, so the declaration and the reserve schedule answer the roof question for a coach, garden or Britannia home.

Selling a Condo vs a Single-Family Home in Forest Glen

Selling a Forest Glen condominium means selling the building and its association as much as the unit; selling a Forest Glen house means selling the lot, the street and the flood-zone advantage. The 658 condominium units sit in 74 buildings and 13 condominiums, and the 141 platted lots hold 87 single-family homes and 54 Periwinkle villas.

For condominium sellers, the competition is often a nearly identical unit in the same plan, sometimes in the same building, because the county roll values units by plan (Barrington’s two plans are valued at exactly $419,400 and $456,670). Winning that race means presenting floor level, views, updates, the building’s flood zone and the association’s reserve and insurance position better than the unit next door. Britannia sellers add the SIRS file; Bishopwood East garden-home sellers can note that owners on Bishopwood Ct East may keep private golf carts, according to an owner listing hosted on the club site.

For single-family and villa sellers, the story is space and flood mapping. Jungle Plum East and West and Periwinkle Way addresses are almost entirely unshaded Zone X on the 2024 map, which is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, although a few addresses in the single-family and villa area are shaded X or AH. The single-family segment recorded five sales at an $835,000 median (small sample) in the state file. Jungle Plum West’s 18 estate homes recorded no qualified sales in the window, which makes plan-by-plan MLS comparables and a careful valuation essential there. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for either.

Timing the Season in Forest Glen

The Forest Glen calendar peaks in winter: the club’s own boards show demand building for February and March, and the course and dining rooms run their fullest schedules from October to April.

The club’s Rentals Wanted board shows repeat seasonal renters seeking one- to three-month February and March stays, often golf-inclusive, which puts prospective buyers inside the gates exactly when the community is busiest. The Main Dining Room runs its in-season dinner schedule from October to April, and from May 1 to October 18 the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays, per the club’s staff directory and hours.

That argues for having a listing photographed, documented and live before the winter peak rather than scrambling into it. A summer listing can still work, especially for a buyer who wants to close and settle in before season, but the photographs should show the course and clubhouse in full operation. The recorded file cannot show monthly price patterns for Forest Glen with only 45 sales; Jesse will pull MLS seasonality for your neighborhood on request at (239) 898-6072.

How Much Does a Forest Glen Estoppel Certificate Cost, and Who Pays It?

A Forest Glen estoppel certificate costs no more than Florida’s cap of $299 per association, plus $119 for expedited delivery and up to $179 more on a delinquent account, per the state estoppel certificate fee schedule. A condominium sale may need two or three, one for each association layer. Who pays is set in your sales contract; we read that clause with you before you sign.

Can I List My Forest Glen Home on the Club’s Own Website?

Yes. The club invites owners to list homes for sale and for rent on its website free of charge, and it posts open houses each Friday for Saturday and Sunday showings from 1 to 4 PM, per the club’s Real Estate page. We treat the club board as one channel alongside full MLS exposure and our own buyer database, not as a replacement for them.

What Flood Zone Do I Disclose When I Sell in Forest Glen?

Disclose the zone FEMA maps for your building today, on panel 12021C0418J effective February 8, 2024, and provide the documents that explain it. Forest Glen is a mix of Zone AH, shaded Zone X and unshaded Zone X, with no Forest Glen address in Zone AE or VE, per FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer. A 2012 LOMA on your building does not change today’s map unless FEMA revalidates it or issues a new one; lenders read the current map.

Will Britannia’s SIRS or a Milestone Inspection Affect My Sale?

It can, which is why a Britannia seller should lead with the documents. All four Britannia associations appear in the state’s SIRS reporting database, and buyers will read the study and reserve schedule in the resale package. The first milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s. The two-story Barrington and Bishopwood buildings and the single-family and villa homes are outside both laws.

What Is the Price per Square Foot in Forest Glen, and How Long Do Homes Take to Sell?

In the Southwest Florida MLS for the 12 months to 26 September 2026, Forest Glen’s 32 closings sold at a median $243 per square foot of living area and a median 47.5 days on market, from $210 in Britannia to $326 in the Periwinkle villas; we never compute price per square foot from county figures. What the public record does show is a $445,000 median on 45 recorded qualified sales in 2025 and early 2026 and living areas from 1,170 to 4,284 square feet. Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS report with both figures for your neighborhood on request at (239) 898-6072.

Will My Buyer Inherit My Property Tax Bill?

No. If you hold a homestead exemption, the Save Our Homes cap on your assessed value does not pass to your buyer, whose bill resets toward full assessed value. Across Forest Glen’s 799 homes, Save Our Homes benefits total $38,885,123 of assessed value on the Collier County 2026 preliminary roll, and two identical $419,400 Barrington units carry estimated taxes of $2,228.05 with homestead and $4,362.61 without. We show buyers the likely reset so it does not surprise them at closing.

Forest Glen Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

This Forest Glen FAQ answers the questions buyers ask Google and AI assistants about Forest Glen Golf and Country Club in East Naples, ZIP 34114: fees, golf, homes, flood zones, schools, rentals and recorded sale prices. Every answer draws on public records, from the Collier County tax roll to FEMA’s 2024 flood map, and says plainly where a number is unpublished and which document holds it.

Data updated: September 2026

Is Forest Glen Naples a good place to live?

Forest Glen suits a buyer who wants a gated golf community where club membership comes with the home, an award-winning course and more than half the land in preserve. The club calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on its Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. About 352 acres of native vegetation sit in eight recorded preserve tracts, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report of July 17, 2025, and golfers ranked the course No. 2 in the state in GolfPass’s Golfers’ Choice 2023: Best golf courses in Florida. Interstate 75 is about a mile from the gate. The tradeoffs: current dues are unpublished, some condominium buildings are mapped in FEMA Zone AH, and the beach at the Naples Pier is about 18 minutes away without traffic. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873, or read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.

Is Forest Glen a nice neighborhood?

Forest Glen is a well-kept, fully built community: all 799 homes were finished between 1999 and 2005, and the only undeveloped land inside the PUD is a 9.6 acre commercial corner outside the gates. Golfers rate the course 4.7 of 5 on 957 reviews on GolfNow’s Forest Glen course details page. The club renovated its clubhouse in 2008, rebuilt the course the same year and refined it again in 2024, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. A paved nature trail runs through the preserve. What “nice” means depends on the building, so we compare flood zone, association layers and recorded sales street by street before a buyer writes an offer.

Where is Forest Glen in Naples?

Forest Glen sits at the southeast corner of Collier Boulevard (County Road 951) and Beck Boulevard in East Naples, south of Interstate 75 and Davis Boulevard, in unincorporated Collier County. The main gate is on Collier Boulevard at Forest Glen Boulevard, about half a mile south of the Collier and Davis intersection, and a rear gate opens onto Beck Boulevard at Periwinkle Way, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map (PDF). The whole PUD lies in Section 2, Township 50 South, Range 26 East, as the Collier Clerk legal ad for the Forest Glen of Naples PUD amendment describes it. Cedar Hammock and Naples Heritage are directly across Collier Boulevard. For the wider area, see our Naples guide.

What is the Forest Glen address and ZIP code?

Forest Glen’s clubhouse and master association office are at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd, Naples, FL 34114, and every home in the community shares ZIP code 34114. That address is the principal office on the Sunbiz record for Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Master Association, Inc. and on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Leadership and staff directory. All 799 homes are addressed on seven interior streets: Forest Glen Blvd, Loblolly Bay Dr, Bishopwood Ct E, Bishopwood Ct W, Jungle Plum Dr E, Jungle Plum Dr W and Periwinkle Way. No Forest Glen home carries a Beck Boulevard address, so a listing addressed on Beck Boulevard is not a Forest Glen home. The clubhouse phone is (239) 348-1332 and the golf shop is (239) 354-1898.

Is Forest Glen of Naples the same as Forest Glen Golf and Country Club?

Forest Glen of Naples is the recorded plat name of Forest Glen Golf and Country Club in East Naples, ZIP 34114, so the two names describe the same community. The Collier County PUD record for Forest Glen of Naples lists Ordinance 99-69 and an older alias, “Naples Golf Estates.” Some listing and data sites mislabel Forest Glen of Naples as a Golden Gate neighborhood; figures attached to that label do not describe this community. Forest Glen is also unrelated to the Forest Glen communities in Lee, Palm Beach and Seminole counties, which appear as separate entities in the Sunbiz Forest Glen name list. When you compare prices or flood-risk scores, confirm the source is using the East Naples community off Collier Boulevard.

Is Forest Glen gated?

Yes, Forest Glen is gated, with a main entrance on Collier Boulevard at Forest Glen Boulevard and a rear gate on Beck Boulevard at Periwinkle Way, both shown on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map (PDF). The club describes Forest Glen as “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on its Real Estate page. Gate staffing hours are not published on any first-party page; the master association’s rules and budget hold that detail, and a buyer can request both in the resale package. Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits at 3820 Beck Blvd on the community’s northern edge, per the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station locations. For how Forest Glen compares with other gated communities, see our guide to Naples golf communities.

How many homes are in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen has 799 homes, the maximum the PUD allows, and the count reconciles exactly on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll. By legal form that is 658 condominium units in 13 condominiums and 141 fee-simple platted lots (87 single-family homes and 54 Periwinkle villa lots). The state’s DBPR condominium filings extract (CSV) lists the 13 condominiums and their 658 units. The county roll codes the villa lots as condominium, so county tables show 712 condominium-coded parcels and 87 single-family parcels. The 1988 zoning for the predecessor project allowed 790 units; the 1998 and 1999 ordinances set the cap at 799, exactly what was built. The club also counts 799 residences.

What types of homes are in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen offers six home types, and the club’s categories correspond to its neighborhoods: executive homes (Jungle Plum East), estates (Jungle Plum West), twin villas (Periwinkle Villas), coach homes (Barrington and Bishopwood West), garden homes (Bishopwood East) and condominiums (Britannia). The club lists those categories on its Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. Living areas run from 1,170 to 4,284 square feet on the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file. Britannia’s nine buildings are four-story elevator condominiums; the Barrington and Bishopwood buildings are two-story, based on unit numbering and listing descriptions. The PUD also permits townhouses and zero-lot-line homes, but what was built is the six types above. Marc can match your list of must-haves to the right neighborhood at (239) 287-5873.

Which neighborhoods are inside Forest Glen?

Forest Glen has seven neighborhoods: Barrington, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West, Britannia, Periwinkle Villas, Jungle Plum East and Jungle Plum West. The four condominium neighborhoods hold 13 condominiums: Barrington I to III (92 coach homes), Bishopwood East I to III (192 garden homes), Bishopwood West I to III (104 coach homes) and Britannia I to IV (270 condominiums), per the DBPR condominium filings extract (CSV). The platted neighborhoods are Periwinkle Villas (54 twin villas), Jungle Plum East (69 single-family homes) and Jungle Plum West (18 estate homes). One detail trips up maps: Bishopwood West I sits on Loblolly Bay Drive, not Bishopwood Court West, so a search on Bishopwood Ct W alone misses 28 homes, as the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll shows.

Is there a Chelsea neighborhood in Forest Glen?

No, Forest Glen has no neighborhood, condominium or association named Chelsea. The name appears only as a Google related search. All 799 homes reconcile to the seven neighborhoods and 13 condominiums on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll and the DBPR condominium filings extract (CSV), with no remainder, and no plat block, state corporation or club label uses the word. The club’s open-house list does use floor-plan names that can look like neighborhoods, such as Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow (coach homes), Braxton and Cornell (garden homes), and Berkshire, Carlisle, Clifton, Hickory and Magnolia (condominium plans), per the Forest Glen open house list. Those are plans, not sub-communities.

How big are Forest Glen homes?

Forest Glen homes range from 1,170 to 4,284 square feet of living area on the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file. By neighborhood: Britannia condominiums 1,170 to 1,567 square feet across six plans; Bishopwood East garden homes 1,261 to 1,599 across four plans; Bishopwood West coach homes 1,869 to 2,193 across three plans; Barrington coach homes 1,897 or 2,193 (two plans); Periwinkle twin villas 1,534 to 1,879 on lots of about 0.15 acre; Jungle Plum East single-family homes 2,176 to 2,746; and Jungle Plum West estate homes 2,473 to 4,284, where lots reach about 0.47 acre. Because floor plans repeat, two homes on the same plan can be compared closely on finishes, view and floor. Roll living area can differ from a listing’s figure, so measure before you rely on it.

Who built Forest Glen?

The Ronto Group developed Forest Glen with Westbrook Partners as its capital partner, and Lennar Homes built homes here. Ronto, a Naples developer founded in 1967, worked through Ronto Golf Estates, Inc., and dates the project 1997 to 2005 on The Ronto Group’s other projects page, which describes Forest Glen as “an association club of 799 units” whose “Lots were developed and sold to Lennar Homes.” In 1999 the project moved into Forest Glen Golf Community Limited Partnership, whose general partners were a Westbrook fund vehicle and Ronto Golf Estates, per the Sunbiz name search for Forest Glen Golf entities. Lennar is the recorded declarant for Periwinkle Villas and the developer on the 2002 Declaration of Condominium for Bishopwood West III. Builders for the other neighborhoods are not proven in the record.

When was Forest Glen built?

Forest Glen’s homes were built from 1999 to 2005, according to actual-year-built data for all 799 homes in the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file. The club opened in 1999. County footprint layers show 90 buildings inside the PUD in 2000, 169 in 2002, 246 in 2004 and 286 in 2006, essentially flat since, per the Collier County building footprints by year. The single-family and villa sections came first (1999 to 2002), Barrington in 2003 to 2004, and the last Britannia building in 2005. The operative zoning is Ordinance 99-69, adopted October 12, 1999. Every home therefore predates the current 2023 Florida Building Code, so a buyer should read the permit history for roofs, windows and shutters on the specific home.

How many acres is Forest Glen?

Forest Glen covers about 630 acres. The county’s PUD ordinance describes the PUD as 635 acres, more or less, and the county’s GIS outline of the PUD measures 629.8 acres; the ordinance figure includes a 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards and a fire station parcel that are not part of the gated community, per the Collier BCC agenda packet for September 22, 2026, item 17.C. The master association owns about 578 acres outright: the course, clubhouse, preserves and roads, per the Collier County parcels owned by the Forest Glen master association. The PUD allows 799 units on 635 gross acres, a density of 1.26 units per acre, below the 1.5 per acre the underlying land-use designation would have allowed.

Is Forest Glen a 55+ community?

No age restriction appears in any public record we reviewed for Forest Glen, including the club’s Real Estate page and the master association’s 1999 Articles of Incorporation. The binding answer sits in the recorded “Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Community,” originally recorded at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955, and its amendments of 2010 and 2017, plus the declaration for the specific condominium or neighborhood you are buying in. Ask for all of them in the resale package and confirm the answer there before you rely on it. Forest Glen’s 799 homes are condominiums, coach homes, garden homes, villas and single-family houses on seven streets. Marc can pull the declarations for a specific building: call (239) 287-5873.

What are the membership fees at Forest Glen Golf and Country Club?

Forest Glen’s current membership dues are not published on any first-party page, so no honest source can quote them; the club’s golf page sits behind a member login. What the record shows: master association and club dues are billed together quarterly on one statement (the club’s own notice refers to “your quarterly dues”), and capital projects are assessed to every member. In 2016 the master board approved a $949,376 outdoor dining facility (plus $80,000 contingency) and assessed every member $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. Dues figures on agent sites cite no budget and disagree, so we do not repeat them. The exact amount for one home appears on the master association budget and on the estoppel certificate for that home.

How much are Forest Glen HOA fees?

Forest Glen HOA fees are not published by the club or any association, and they vary by home because owners pay two or three layers. Condominium owners pay the master association (with club dues), their neighborhood or commons association, and their condominium association; single-family and villa owners pay the master association and their neighborhood association. Twenty-one active associations govern Forest Glen, per the Sunbiz name search for the Bishopwood associations and sibling filings. Each layer’s amount is set in that association’s adopted budget. The document that states the exact dues, assessments and any transfer or capital charge for a specific home is the estoppel certificate, and Florida caps its fee at $299, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule (PDF). Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will request the figures on any home you are considering.

Is golf mandatory in Forest Glen?

Club membership in Forest Glen comes with the home, so dues are owed whether or not an owner plays golf; playing is optional, but the membership obligation is tied to ownership. The golf course and clubhouse are owned by the homeowners’ master association, and the club calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on its Real Estate page. The 2016 outdoor dining project was assessed to all members, $1,290 each, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice. The exact membership classes, including whether any golf and social tiers apply to owners, are set in the recorded declaration and club documents, which the club does not publish. Golf and social classes do exist for renters. If you do not golf, compare Forest Glen’s total carrying cost against non-golf communities before you decide.

Is golf membership included when you buy a home in Forest Glen?

Membership in Forest Glen is bundled with ownership: the club describes Forest Glen as “a gated, membership-inclusive community,” and the master association that owns the course and clubhouse bills its dues to every home. The Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page and the county roll show the course, clubhouse and maintenance site titled to Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc. Bundled means there is no separate club to join, but it does not mean free: dues arrive quarterly with the master assessment. The club recognizes 799 residences as its membership base. Whether a capital contribution or transfer charge applies at purchase is not published; it appears on the estoppel certificate. For how other Naples clubs handle this, see our guide to Naples golf communities.

Is there an initiation fee or capital contribution to join Forest Glen?

Whether Forest Glen charges a buyer an initiation fee, capital contribution or fund fee is not published on any first-party page, and the figures circulating on agent and membership-consultancy sites cite no budget or association document. The Forest Glen golf page is behind a member login, and the club posts no fee schedule. The reliable way to learn the number for a specific home is the estoppel certificate, which states the dues, assessments and any transfer or capital charge owed at closing. Florida caps that certificate’s fee at $299, plus $119 for expedited delivery, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule (PDF). Ask your agent to request it early, not at the end of the inspection period. Marc does this on every Forest Glen contract: (239) 287-5873.

Is there a master association fee and a separate neighborhood or condo fee in Forest Glen?

Yes, Forest Glen owners pay more than one association: condominium owners sit in three tiers (master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium) and single-family and villa owners in two (master and neighborhood). Twenty-one active associations govern Forest Glen: the master association, 13 condominium associations and 7 neighborhood or commons associations (Barrington Commons, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West Commons, Britannia, Jungle Plum East, Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas), per filings such as the Sunbiz name search for Barrington Commons Association. The umbrella associations own real land: Britannia’s neighborhood association holds about 13 acres and Bishopwood East’s a 4.07 acre tract. Amounts for each layer come from each association’s budget, which none publishes. The estoppel certificate totals them for one home.

Has Forest Glen ever had a special assessment?

Yes, Forest Glen’s master association has funded capital projects by assessing every member: in 2016 the board approved a $949,376 outdoor dining facility (plus an $80,000 contingency) on a 6 to 1 vote on May 12 and assessed each member $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters on the quarterly dues statement. That is documented in the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. A 2017 amendment to the master declaration sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to CPI from 2019, above which member approval rules apply, per the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community. Condominium and neighborhood associations can levy their own assessments too, so read each association’s minutes and budget before closing.

Is there a CDD in Forest Glen?

No Community Development District covers Forest Glen, so there is no CDD bond assessment on Forest Glen tax bills. The Collier County Community Development Districts layer shows no district over the PUD, and the 2025 tax bills we read carried none. A 2025 bill for a Jungle Plum Drive single-family home did carry one non-ad valorem charge, the county’s “District 1 Garbage” solid-waste charge of $261.91, per the Collier Tax Collector 2025 tax bill for a Jungle Plum Dr home, while a Loblolly Bay Drive condominium bill showed no non-ad valorem charges. That matters when you compare Forest Glen with newer communities nearby, including Caymas to the south, which has its own CDD.

Who is the Forest Glen HOA?

Forest Glen’s master HOA is Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation, document N99000002346, filed April 15, 1999 and active, per its Sunbiz record. Its office has been the clubhouse at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd since March 2005, and its 2026 annual report was filed February 20, 2026. The club and the master association are the same body: the club’s General Manager is listed as an officer on the state record. The board has 3 to 9 directors, and the 2026 report lists seven seats, all held by owners. It governs under a declaration recorded at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955, amended and restated in 2010 and amended in 2017. It appears to be self-managed by club staff.

Which association governs my Forest Glen building?

Every Forest Glen home answers to the master association plus the neighborhood association for its street, and condominium owners add a condominium association. The management companies on the state records are Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for every Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia entity; Complete Property Management of SW Florida for Jungle Plum East; and Tropical Isles Management of Fort Myers for Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas, per the Sunbiz name search for Jungle Plum East and West associations and sibling searches. Condominium associations operate under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes, and the master, neighborhood and commons associations under Chapter 720. No sub-association keeps a public website, so the management company is where you request budgets, rules and the estoppel. Marc can identify all three layers for any address: (239) 287-5873.

What does bundled golf mean in Forest Glen?

In Forest Glen, bundled golf means the course and clubhouse belong to the homeowners’ master association and club membership comes with the home rather than being bought separately. The club uses the phrase “gated, membership-inclusive community” on its Real Estate page, and master association and club dues are billed together quarterly, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice. The master association owns about 578 acres outright in 17 parcels, including the golf course, clubhouse, maintenance site, road tract and all eight preserves. Practically, that means no separate club sale, but every owner shares the cost of the course and its capital projects. Our guide to Naples golf communities compares how bundled and non-bundled clubs work.

Who designed the Forest Glen golf course?

Forest Glen’s course opened in 1999 on a Gordon Lewis layout; Arthur Hills and Steve Forrest redesigned it, and it reopened December 1, 2008 as an Arthur Hills Signature course built by Ryan Golf. For the club’s 25th anniversary in 2024, Ron Forse Design refined the layout, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. Ryan Golf’s golf renovation project list shows Forest Glen, architect Arthur Hills, completed 2008, in the $1.5 million to $5 million range. Golf directories each capture one stage of that history, which is why you see different architects credited online. The three-stage version above comes from the club, the only first-party source. See how the course fits among Naples golf communities.

How long is the Forest Glen golf course and what is par?

Forest Glen is an 18-hole, par 72 course (per GolfNow’s course listing), and the club lists its championship length at 6,820 yards. Some golf directories still show an older 6,805-yard Black tee card, including GolfNow’s Forest Glen course details; the 6,820 figure comes from the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website and is newer and first party. The Florida State Golf Association record lists nine men’s tee sets from Black down to a short Glen tee, including combination sets, so the course plays from championship length to a forward setup. Tee times for members are booked through the club’s member-only system. For scorecards by tee, ask the golf shop at (239) 354-1898.

What are the course ratings and slope at Forest Glen?

Current USGA ratings on file with the Florida State Golf Association for Forest Glen are: Black tees 73.8 / 146 (men); Gold 72.0 / 141 (men) and 77.8 / 149 (women); Forest 69.9 / 128 (men) and 75.0 / 143 (women); White 67.6 / 122 (men) and 72.5 / 138 (women); Red 63.4 / 113 (men) and 67.7 / 116 (women); and the shortest Glen tees 59.6 / 104 (men) and 61.3 / 107 (women). Those figures come from the Florida State Golf Association Forest Glen course ratings and slope. Some directory sites still show an older, superseded rating set for the Black tees, which predates the current record. The spread from 146 to 104 slope means the course asks a lot from the back and plays gently from the front.

What grass is on the Forest Glen golf course?

Forest Glen’s greens are TifEagle, its surrounds and approaches are TifGrand, and Sea Isle Supreme paspalum covers the rest of the course, following the 2024 Ron Forse Design refinement for the club’s 25th anniversary, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. The 2008 Arthur Hills rebuild had installed Sea Isle paspalum tee to green to USGA standards. The course is irrigated with reclaimed water: the South Florida Water Management District listed 127 irrigated golf acres on reclaimed water under Water Use Permit 11-01176-W in 2010, per the SFWMD Lower West Coast water supply plan appendix. Golfers rank the conditions highly; Golf Advisor reviews placed Forest Glen No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016.

Can non-members play Forest Glen golf course?

Forest Glen is a private club, but the course appears on public tee-time marketplaces and qualified for GolfPass’s public-access Golfers’ Choice rankings; the club does not publish its public-play or guest policy. You can see the course listed on TeeOff’s Forest Glen tee-time listing and GolfNow’s course details page. Availability, seasons and rates on those marketplaces change, and the club posts no official window, so call the golf shop at (239) 354-1898 before planning a round. Members book through the club’s member-only system. A round is a sensible step for a buyer who wants to test the course before committing to a home where membership comes with ownership.

Is Forest Glen golf course private or semi-private?

Forest Glen is a private, member-owned club: the course and clubhouse are titled to the homeowners’ master association, and membership comes with the 799 homes, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. The course nonetheless appears on public tee-time marketplaces, and it qualified for GolfPass’s public-access rankings, which is why some directories describe it loosely. The club’s mission statement sets the tone: its goals include “selective profitable nonmember events that do not inconvenience the members,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website. No public-play or guest policy is published, so treat outside access as the club’s decision, not a right. Members book tee times through the club’s own system.

What awards has the Forest Glen golf course won?

Golfer reviews on Golf Advisor (now GolfPass) ranked Forest Glen No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016, per GolfPass’s Top 25 course conditions in the U.S. in 2016, and No. 2 in Florida in GolfPass’s Golfers’ Choice 2023: Best golf courses in Florida, a list built from 69,738 reviews of 518 Florida courses.

Is there a golf course map of Forest Glen?

Yes, the club publishes a community site map showing the Forest Glen course, lakes, neighborhoods, the eastern preserve, the nature trail and both gates: the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map (PDF). A 2009 resident column in the Naples Daily News on Forest Glen’s preserves, canals and golf course described seven holes that wind through the preserves with no homes bordering them. Eagles Nest outdoor dining sits between the 9th and 18th holes, steps from the clubhouse. For a buyer, the map is the quickest way to see which buildings face fairways, lakes or preserve, which affects both view and price. Pair it with the flood map before you choose a building.

Does Forest Glen have pickleball?

Yes, Forest Glen has four dedicated, lighted pickleball courts with USTA-standard fencing, per the Forest Glen pickleball program page. The program runs daily open play, clinics and lessons, social mixers, IntraClub play and InterClub teams in the East Naples Pickleball Inter-League (Division I for 3.5 and above, Division II for 3.0 to 3.49), with complimentary balls and loaner paddles; a seven-member committee runs it. The courts sit with the tennis and bocce courts near the clubhouse pool.

See tennis and pickleball in Collier County.

The courts appear on the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map (PDF) grouped with pickleball and bocce just west of the clubhouse pool. If tennis is central to your week, ask the club about league play and court booking before you buy, since those rules sit in member materials.

Does Forest Glen have bocce?

Some neighborhoods have their own association pools; confirm for a specific building in its association documents, because the club does not publish a pool count. Wi-Fi and a computer station are available in the clubhouse. If a pool steps from your door matters, ask for the neighborhood association’s common-area list before you make an offer.

What restaurants are at Forest Glen Golf and Country Club?

Is the Forest Glen restaurant open to the public?

Forest Glen’s dining is a member club, and the club does not publish a public dining policy; its dining page sits behind a member login. The club’s stated goals include “selective profitable nonmember events that do not inconvenience the members,” per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website, which suggests occasional outside events rather than open restaurant service. The club also runs an events page on Facebook for social events. Menus are not posted publicly. For everyday dining outside the gate, the Collier and Davis interchange has Cracker Barrel, a 24-hour Waffle House, Chili’s and fast food within about a mile.

The preserve is large: about 352 acres of native vegetation in eight recorded tracts, the largest about 257 acres, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report. Wildlife is part of daily life, so keep a distance from lake edges. Longer mileage figures on listing pages do not come from a club or plat source.

From the gate, the southbound on-ramp is 0.86 mile and the northbound 1.2 miles, per the OSRM route from the Forest Glen gate to downtown Naples. The club’s “15 minutes to downtown” line holds. Naples Airport is 6.3 miles and 12 minutes; Marco Island is about 15 miles straight down Collier Boulevard, roughly 27 to 28 minutes. FDOT’s $97 million rebuild of the Exit 101 interchange, with flyovers over Davis and Beck boulevards, has an estimated completion of late 2026, per the FDOT fact sheet for the I-75 at SR 951 interchange.

Fort Myers City Hall is about 41 miles and 50 minutes; Miami-Dade County Hall is about 116 miles and 2 hours 15 minutes via Alligator Alley. During the FDOT Exit 101 interchange rebuild, allow extra time at the Collier and Davis intersection, and more again from January to April.

What schools serve Forest Glen?

Every Forest Glen address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High for the 2026 to 2027 school year, with no exceptions across 895 address records on all seven streets, per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for 3904 Forest Glen Blvd. Lely Elementary earned an A from the state in 2024, 2025 and 2026 and is about 3.5 miles away. Manatee Middle earned A in 2025 and 2026, about 8.2 miles. Lely High earned 64% of possible points in both 2025 and 2026; under the 2026 high-school scale that is a B (it was an A in 2025), per the Florida Department of Education 2025 to 2026 school grades. The district earned an A for the ninth straight year in 2026. See Naples private schools for alternatives.

Is Forest Glen zoned for Manatee Elementary?

No, Forest Glen is zoned for Lely Elementary, not Manatee Elementary. Answers that say otherwise come from a similar-sounding street, Mahogany Bend Drive, about 8 miles south, which is zoned Manatee Elementary. The Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for 3904 Forest Glen Blvd returns Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High. Beck Boulevard is also a school-zone line: north-side Beck addresses go to Mike Davis Elementary and Golden Gate High, per the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup for Beck Blvd, which is one more reason a Beck Boulevard listing is not a Forest Glen home. Nearby charter options by application include Mason Classical Academy (graded A in 2024 to 2026), about 6.5 miles away.

What flood zone is Forest Glen?

Forest Glen is a mix of FEMA Zone AH (a special flood hazard area of shallow ponding), shaded Zone X (0.2% annual chance) and unshaded Zone X (minimal hazard), and no Forest Glen address falls in Zone AE or VE. All of Forest Glen is on FIRM panel 12021C0418J, effective February 8, 2024, per the FEMA FIRM panel query at Forest Glen. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area. The single-family and villa sections are almost entirely Zone X: 144 of 160 county address points there are Zone X, 9 shaded X and 7 AH. FEMA’s own letters describe the local flood source as “ponding/overland flow,” not storm surge. Lenders decide insurance requirements building by building.

Which Forest Glen buildings are in flood zone AH?

Forest Glen’s Zone AH buildings are concentrated in the two-story condominium neighborhoods and Britannia IV, based on Collier County’s structure-level address points laid over FEMA’s 2024 map. Barrington: 13 of 23 buildings (I 6 of 8, II 5 of 8, III 2 of 7). Bishopwood East: 10 of 16 (East I 2 of 8, East II 4 of 4, East III 4 of 4). Bishopwood West: 10 of 26 (West I 0 of 7, West II 1 of 10, West III 9 of 9). Britannia I to III are Zone X or shaded X; both Britannia IV buildings, 4000 and 4010 Loblolly Bay Dr, are AH. The overlay uses the Collier County site address points and the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. The only base flood elevation line across Forest Glen is 10.5 feet NAVD88.

Do Forest Glen homes need flood insurance?

It depends on the Forest Glen building’s FEMA zone and your lender. For a building mapped Zone AH, flood insurance is mandatory on a federally backed mortgage unless a current Letter of Map Amendment removes the structure, and FEMA’s current layer shows the 13 letters issued for Forest Glen buildings in 2012 as not incorporated into the 2024 map, per the FEMA Letters of Map Amendment query. Citizens Property Insurance also requires flood coverage on its wind policies for homes in the special flood hazard area now, and on all remaining homes from January 1, 2027; condominium HO-6 policies are exempt, per Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements. Ask each condominium association whether its master policy carries flood.

How much does flood insurance cost near Forest Glen?

Across all 5,463 NFIP policies in ZIP 34114, which includes Forest Glen, that took effect June 2025 to May 2026, the median annual policy cost was $1,528, per OpenFEMA NFIP policies for ZIP 34114. In Census tract 111.14, which is far larger than Forest Glen, the median was $1,117 in Zone AH and $1,085 in Zone X, showing that under Risk Rating 2.0 the zone letter alone does not set the price. Unincorporated Collier County is a Class 5 community in FEMA’s Community Rating System, worth a 25% discount on eligible NFIP policies, per the FEMA Community Rating System eligible communities list effective April 1, 2026. Get a quote on the specific building before you write an offer.

What hurricane evacuation zone is Forest Glen?

Collier County places Forest Glen in hurricane evacuation Zone D, and the state’s statewide layer agrees, per the Collier County hurricane evacuation zone query at Forest Glen. Collier’s map has six zones, A through F. The state’s regional storm-surge planning layer, which models the worst case for each storm category, includes Forest Glen inside its Category 3 surge zone, per the Florida regional storm surge zones query. Follow county evacuation orders by zone; do not read Zone D as “no surge risk under any storm.” Before Hurricane Milton in 2024, Collier’s voluntary evacuation covered Zones A and B, not Zone D.

Did hurricanes damage Forest Glen?

No county, news or association record we found describes storm flooding or storm damage inside Forest Glen, though the nearest instruments recorded strong storms. During Irma in 2017, the Collier County EOC about 2.5 miles south recorded a 106-knot (about 122 mph) gust and the Naples 7 E gauge 1.7 miles north measured 11.46 inches of rain, per the National Hurricane Center report on Hurricane Irma. In Ian in 2022, the National Weather Service placed storm surge across almost all of Collier County south and west of US 41, about 5 miles from Forest Glen, and an East Naples station recorded an 89 mph gust, per the NWS Miami Hurricane Ian summary. Florida Building Code design wind speed here is 163 mph for homes. Check roof and window permits for the specific home.

Was Forest Glen evacuated in the April 2026 wildfire?

Forest Glen was named in evacuation alerts during the Newman Road Fire in the Picayune Strand area near I-75, April 13 to 15, 2026, which grew to 1,733 acres and was 60% contained by April 15, per WUSF on the Newman Road fire. WGCU reported that “evacuations have been lifted for Forest Glen Community,” per WGCU’s Newman Road wildfire evacuations report. No report we found describes damage inside Forest Glen. The community has a real wildland edge: more than half of it is preserve, about 352 acres, and the eastern preserve borders large Rural Fringe “Sending” conservation lands. Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 is on Beck Boulevard at the north edge.

Are there alligators in Forest Glen?

Yes, Forest Glen’s lakes and 352-acre preserve are wildlife habitat, and alligators are part of daily life. In July 2023 a man walking in the 3800 block of Forest Glen Boulevard was bitten by an alligator of nearly 7 feet and airlifted, according to the Naples Daily News report on the Forest Glen Boulevard alligator bite. The club’s site map shows lakes throughout the course and neighborhoods and a large preserve along the east side. Sensible habits apply on every Southwest Florida golf community path: keep pets leashed and away from water, walk in daylight near lake banks, and never feed wildlife. The upside of the same habitat is the paved preserve trail and seven golf holes that wind through preserve with no homes bordering them.

Is Forest Glen safe?

Forest Glen is a gated community with two controlled entrances, and a fire station sits at its northern edge, but crime statistics for Forest Glen alone are not published. Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 is at 3820 Beck Blvd, per the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station locations, and the nearest Collier County Sheriff’s Office district substation is at 8075 Lely Cultural Parkway, per the Collier County Sheriff’s Office patrol districts. Third-party “crime index” scores on listing portals are not primary records, so we do not repeat them. For data, request Sheriff’s Office incident records by district. Gate staffing hours are not published; ask the master association for its security rules and the security line in its budget.

Can you rent your home in Forest Glen?

Yes, owners can rent in Forest Glen, and the club runs its own Properties for Rent board, but minimum lease terms and approval rules are set building by building in the recorded declarations and are not published. Renters get club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings on the club’s rental board state the renter pays the club’s transfer fee; the club does not publish the amount, per an owner rental listing at 3940 Loblolly Bay Drive #402. Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, not the City of Naples, so City of Naples rental rules do not govern it; the declarations do. Demand is visible on the club’s Rentals Wanted board. Before buying to rent, read the condominium or neighborhood declaration for lease minimums.

Are there seasonal rentals in Forest Glen?

Yes, Forest Glen has an active seasonal rental market: the club’s “Rentals Wanted” board shows repeat seasonal renters seeking one- to three-month February and March stays, often asking for golf-inclusive rentals, per the Forest Glen rentals wanted board. Owners post available homes on the Forest Glen properties for rent board free of charge. Whether a one-month stay is permitted in a given building depends on that condominium’s or neighborhood’s declaration, since minimum lease terms are set association by association and not published. Current rents are MLS lease data, not public record, and are not shown on this page; Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS lease report on request at (239) 898-6072. Collier County short-term rental rules also apply alongside the declarations.

Can Forest Glen renters use the golf course?

Yes, Forest Glen renters obtain club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings on the club’s rental board state the renter pays the club’s transfer fee; the club does not publish the amount. That wording appears on owner listings such as the owner rental listing at 3970 Loblolly Bay Drive #403 on the club’s board. Golf and social membership classes exist for renters, per the Forest Glen rentals wanted board, where many seasonal renters ask specifically for golf. For an owner, the practical point is that the owner’s own use is typically transferred to the tenant for the lease term, so plan your own golf around it. Confirm the transfer terms with the club’s membership office before signing a lease.

What are Forest Glen property taxes?

The median 2026 preliminary estimated property tax across Forest Glen’s 799 homes is $2,897.01; the 87 single-family homes median $4,328.61 and the 712 condominium-coded homes $2,824.15, per the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll (2026 preliminary roll estimate). Adopted 2025 millage for Forest Glen (millage code 39) was 10.5058 mills, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier millage codes; the roll computes 2026 estimates at 10.4020 mills, and final rates appear on the November bill. Homestead matters: two identical Barrington units, each assessed at $419,400 on that roll, carry 2026 preliminary estimated taxes of $4,362.61 without homestead and $2,228.05 with it. A buyer’s taxes reset, so budget on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill.

Are there Forest Glen homes for sale by owner?

Yes, Forest Glen owners can post homes for sale on the club’s own website free of charge, so some listings appear there before or instead of the MLS, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. The club runs a Properties for Sale board, a Properties for Rent board, a Rentals Wanted board and an Open House list. Owner-posted listings are the seller’s own text, so verify every claim in them, including amenity counts, fees and golf rankings, against the documents. A buyer on a by-owner purchase still needs the estoppel certificate, the association documents and, for a Britannia condominium, the structural integrity reserve study. Having your own agent costs you little and protects the contract. Read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida.

Are there open houses in Forest Glen?

Yes, Forest Glen open houses are posted on the club’s website on Fridays and held Saturday and Sunday from 1 to 4 PM, per the Forest Glen open house list. The list uses floor-plan names such as Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow for coach homes, Braxton and Cornell for garden homes, and Berkshire, Carlisle, Clifton, Hickory and Magnolia for condominium plans, which helps you compare the same plan across buildings. Because the gate controls entry, check the posting for access instructions. Seasonal hours matter too: from May 1 to October 18 the clubhouse and course close on Mondays. Touring with an agent lets you pair each open house with the building’s flood zone and recorded sales. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.

What is a Forest Glen twin villa?

A Forest Glen twin villa is one of the 54 Periwinkle Villas homes on Periwinkle Way, built 1999 to 2002 with 1,534 to 1,879 square feet on fee-simple platted lots of about 0.15 acre. They are Block 1 of the Forest Glen of Naples plat, and Lennar Homes, Inc. is the recorded declarant, per the Periwinkle Villas declaration amendment with Lennar Homes as Declarant. The county roll codes the villa lots as condominium, but by legal form they are lots under a declaration of restrictions. Periwinkle recorded 5 sales in 2025 and 2026, a small sample, with a median of $550,000, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Whether a villa has a private pool is set by the listing and the Periwinkle declaration.

What is a coach home in Forest Glen?

A Forest Glen coach home is a two-story, four-unit building where each owner has a private entrance and usually an attached garage; the club’s coach-home category corresponds to Barrington and Bishopwood West. Barrington has 92 coach homes in 23 four-unit buildings on Forest Glen Blvd, built 2003 to 2004, 1,897 or 2,193 square feet. Bishopwood West has 104 in 26 four-unit buildings, built 2000 to 2002, 1,869 to 2,193 square feet, per the DBPR condominium filings extract (CSV). Legally they are condominium units under Chapter 718, with a condominium association and a commons association above them. Barrington recorded 6 sales (median $545,100) and Bishopwood West 5 (median $575,000), small samples, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel).

Coach home vs condo in Forest Glen: what is the difference?

In Forest Glen, coach homes (Barrington and Bishopwood West) are larger two-story, four-unit buildings, while Britannia condominiums are four-story, 30-unit elevator buildings with smaller units; both are legally condominiums. Coach homes run 1,869 to 2,193 square feet; Britannia units 1,170 to 1,567. The four-story height matters: only Britannia’s nine buildings fall under Florida’s milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study laws, which apply to condominium buildings three habitable stories or more, per Florida Statutes 553.899, milestone inspections. Prices differ too: recorded medians were $545,100 at Barrington (6 sales) and $337,000 at Britannia (15 sales), per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Flood zones also differ building by building.

Is an upstairs or downstairs coach home better in Forest Glen?

In Forest Glen the choice between an upstairs and downstairs coach home comes down to stairs versus flood exposure, and the public record does not publish a price difference by floor. A ground-floor unit carries more exposure where a building is mapped Zone AH, such as all nine Bishopwood West III buildings and six of eight Barrington I buildings, per the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer flood zone query. The county roll values units by plan, so upstairs and downstairs units on the same plan often carry the same assessed value. In the Southwest Florida MLS for the 12 months to 26 September 2026, five ground-floor Bishopwood East closings had a $388,000 median and two second-floor closings sold at $280,000 each, but the plans differ in size, so that is not a clean floor premium; Marc will pull sales by floor for your building at (239) 287-5873.

Do Forest Glen condos fall under Florida’s milestone inspection law?

Only Britannia’s nine four-story buildings in Forest Glen fall under Florida’s milestone inspection law, which applies to condominium buildings three habitable stories or more; the two-story Barrington and Bishopwood buildings and the single-family and villa homes do not. Inspections are due by December 31 of the year a building turns 30 from its certificate of occupancy and every 10 years after, per Florida Statutes 553.899, milestone inspections. Britannia’s buildings were built from 2000 to 2005, so first milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s. The story counts are based on unit numbering and building records. The Florida DBPR condominium milestone inspections and SIRS page explains the filing portals.

What does Florida’s new condo law mean for Forest Glen buyers?

For Forest Glen buyers, Florida’s condominium safety law matters mainly in Britannia: structural integrity reserve studies apply to condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher at least every 10 years, and associations existing on July 1, 2022 had to complete one by December 31, 2025, per Florida Statutes 718.112, condominium bylaws and SIRS. All four Britannia condominium associations appear in the Florida DBPR SIRS reporting database; a listing there proves a filing, not its content. Buyers should read the study and reserve schedule in the resale package. Two-story Barrington and Bishopwood condominiums remain under Florida’s general reserve rules.

How does Forest Glen compare with Naples Lakes Country Club?

Forest Glen is the lower-cost of the two on every public-record measure. On the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, Forest Glen’s median single-family assessed value is $665,268 (87 homes) against $805,854 (230 homes) at Naples Lakes Country Club, and its median condominium-coded value $310,485 (712 homes) against $462,920 (501 homes), per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll (assessed values, not prices). Median estimated single-family tax on the same roll is $4,328.61 at Forest Glen (87 homes) and $7,021.05 at Naples Lakes (230 homes). Recorded sales for 2025 and 2026 show 45 Forest Glen sales at a $445,000 median and 51 Naples Lakes sales at $620,000, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Neither club publishes dues. See our Naples Lakes Country Club guide.

How does Forest Glen compare with Naples Heritage and Cedar Hammock?

Forest Glen has the lowest median single-family assessed value of the three, and all three count 799 residential parcels on the 2026 roll. Median single-family assessed values: Forest Glen $665,268 (87 homes), Naples Heritage $760,749 (101 homes), Cedar Hammock $807,173 (65 homes); median estimated single-family taxes on the same homes: $4,328.61, $7,008.13 and $5,984.99, per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll (assessed values, not prices). Condominium-coded assessed medians are close: $310,485 (712 homes), $332,800 (698 homes) and $335,978 (734 homes). Recorded 2025 to 2026 sales: Forest Glen 45 at a $445,000 median, Naples Heritage 63 at $465,000, Cedar Hammock 49 at $350,000, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Forest Glen’s defining difference is its preserve. See our Cedar Hammock guide.

Is Forest Glen an affordable golf community in Naples?

Among five East Naples golf communities measured the same way, Forest Glen has the lowest median single-family assessed value ($665,268 across 87 homes, versus $742,442 to $807,173 across 65 to 230 homes at Eagle Creek, Naples Heritage, Naples Lakes and Cedar Hammock) and the lowest median single-family estimated tax ($4,328.61 versus $5,787.58 to $7,021.05), per the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. Those are assessed values, not prices. Its entry point is Britannia, the most frequently traded neighborhood, with a recorded median of $337,000 across 15 sales, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Affordability also depends on dues, which no community in the set publishes, so compare estoppel figures, not agent-site numbers. Our Naples golf communities guide covers the wider field.

What is planned for the Collier and Beck corner at Forest Glen?

The 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards, inside the Forest Glen PUD but outside the gates, is the subject of a county petition (PL20240010278) that was scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2026. It would allow up to 36,720 square feet of indoor-only membership sports and recreation club space, for example indoor pickleball, within the existing 100,000 square foot cap, and remove the tract’s Collier Boulevard access, per the Collier Clerk legal ad for the Forest Glen of Naples PUD amendment. The Planning Commission recommended approval unanimously on July 17, 2025, and the club’s management wrote in support. The adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched. The tract’s standards include a 55-foot native vegetation buffer facing the community.

What is being built near Forest Glen?

Several projects near Forest Glen are approved or underway. FDOT’s $97 million rebuild of the I-75 and Collier Boulevard interchange, with flyovers over Davis and Beck, has an estimated completion of late 2026, per the FDOT fact sheet. Across Beck Boulevard, the Tollgate Commercial Center was approved in 2024 for 110 rental apartments, 33 of them affordable, per the Clerk legal ad for Tollgate Housing and Commercial Center. Magnolia Pond, north of I-75, was approved in 2025 for up to 550 homes. Caymas, by Stock Development, borders Forest Glen to the south. A Costco is planned about 2.9 miles south at Rattlesnake Hammock Road, opening unconfirmed. The school district’s current capital plan names no new school within 3 miles.

Is the landfill near Forest Glen?

Yes, the Collier County Landfill on White Lake Boulevard is about half a mile northeast of Forest Glen’s boundary, across I-75, per the Collier County Landfill facility page; the 310.97 acre site has been operated by Waste Management under a 1995 contract. On May 12, 2026 commissioners unanimously approved expanding the landfill eastward, away from Forest Glen, by 183 acres in three phases, adding nearly 80 years of life, per the Marco Eagle report on the landfill eastern expansion. Land-use amendments for that expansion area had a public meeting on September 24, 2026. We reviewed no complaint record, so we draw no conclusion about daily conditions; visit at different times of day and judge for yourself.

What are the downsides of living in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen’s downsides are documentable. Current dues and any capital contribution are unpublished, and condominium owners pay three association layers. Some buildings are mapped FEMA Zone AH, and the 2012 LOMAs for many of them were not incorporated into the 2024 map, per the FEMA Letters of Map Amendment query. Britannia owners face milestone inspection and reserve-study costs. The preserve edge brought an evacuation alert in the April 2026 wildfire, and wildlife includes alligators. The I-75 interchange is under construction through an estimated late 2026, and the landfill sits about half a mile northeast across I-75. Beaches are about 18 minutes away, Marco Island 27 to 28. From May 1 to October 18 the club closes Mondays, per the Forest Glen Leadership and staff directory.

Can I keep a golf cart at my Forest Glen home?

Golf cart rules in Forest Glen are set by the master declaration and each neighborhood or condominium association, and none is published on a public page. One data point: an owner listing hosted on the club site states that garden-home owners on Bishopwood Ct East may keep private golf carts, per the owner for-sale listing at 3993 Bishopwood Ct East #204. That is the owner’s statement, not an association rule. Cart storage, charging, and whether private carts may be used on the course are questions for the declaration, the association’s rules and the club’s golf policy. Ask for all three in the resale package, along with vehicle and parking rules, if a cart is part of your plan.

What are the pet rules in Forest Glen?

Forest Glen’s pet rules are set in the recorded master declaration and in each condominium and neighborhood declaration, and none are published on public pages, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page and the master association’s 2009 Certificate of Amendment, which recites the declaration at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955. Rules can differ between a Britannia elevator building and a Jungle Plum single-family home, so get the specific association’s declaration and rules. Some owner rental listings on the club board say “no pets,” but that is an owner’s rule for that unit, not proof of an association rule. Ask about weight limits, number of pets and leash rules before you commit, and remember that preserve wildlife is a real risk to small pets.

Is Forest Glen in the City of Naples?

No, Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, not the City of Naples, so City of Naples ordinances, including its rental rules, do not govern it. Every Forest Glen parcel carries no municipal millage on the Collier County 2026 preliminary parcel roll. Forest Glen lies in Collier County Commission District 1 and in the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District, and its property taxes fall under millage code 39, which totaled 10.5058 mills in 2025. The mailing address still reads “Naples, FL 34114,” which is why the difference confuses searchers. For a buyer, the practical effect is that the recorded declarations and Collier County rules set what you can do with the home. See our Collier County guide for county-level services.

How do I check the flood zone for a Forest Glen address?

Anyone can pull an official FIRMette for a Forest Glen address from FEMA’s Map Service Center, starting from the FEMA Map Service Center address search for Forest Glen. Enter the building’s own street number, because Forest Glen buildings on the same street can sit in different zones. Street-level geocodes can place a point a few hundred feet off the building, so zone results should come from structure-level points, like the Collier County site address points we used. Check the panel number (12021C0418J) and effective date (February 8, 2024). If the home has an elevation certificate, ask the seller for it; Collier holds one in Forest Glen, showing a finished floor of 13.0 feet NAVD88.

What does it cost to insure a Forest Glen condo?

The insurance cost for a Forest Glen condominium is split between the association’s master policy and your own HO-6 unit-owner policy, and neither premium is published. Every Florida condominium association must carry adequate property insurance, with replacement cost determined at least every three years, per Florida Statutes 718.111, condominium insurance. Whether each Forest Glen condominium’s master policy includes flood coverage, and its wind deductible, is shown on that association’s insurance declarations page, which buyers should request. HO-6 policies are exempt from Citizens’ flood requirement. Citizens cut 2026 homeowners multiperil rates by an average of 8.8%, per Citizens: 2026 multiperil rates to drop statewide. Get quotes during the inspection period.

Should I buy in Forest Glen with a buyer’s agent?

Yes, a Forest Glen purchase benefits from a buyer’s agent who reads the documents, because the numbers that matter most, dues, capital charges, lease rules and master insurance, sit in estoppels and declarations rather than on public pages. The work includes requesting the estoppel certificate early (Florida caps its fee at $299), checking the building’s FEMA zone on the 2024 map, reading Britannia’s reserve study, and comparing the offer against recorded sales in the same neighborhood. McGreevy and Comisar build that public-record file for every Forest Glen building a client considers; in the last 12 months we have built public-record benchmarks for five East Naples golf communities. Read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida or meet Marc Comisar. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.

Forest Glen Frequently Asked Questions, Seller Edition

This Forest Glen FAQ answers what owners ask before selling in Forest Glen Golf and Country Club, East Naples: what recorded sales say, which documents buyers will demand, how the estoppel, the flood map and Britannia’s reserve study shape a sale, and how McGreevy and Comisar price and market a listing. Every figure comes from public records, and each answer names where the MLS holds the rest.

Data updated: September 2026

What is the median sale price for Forest Glen coach homes and condos?

Recorded Forest Glen condominium sales in 2025 and 2026 ran from a $337,000 median in Britannia to a $575,000 median in Bishopwood West, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). By neighborhood: Britannia condominiums, 15 sales, median $337,000, range $245,000 to $419,500; Bishopwood East garden homes, 9 sales (small sample), median $410,000, range $381,500 to $460,000; Barrington coach homes, 6 sales (small sample), median $545,100, the mean of the middle pair of $530,200 and $560,000, range $460,000 to $570,000; and Bishopwood West coach homes, 5 sales (small sample), median $575,000, range $450,000 to $595,000. Across all 40 condominium-coded sales, a group that also counts the Periwinkle villas because the county codes those lots as condominium, the median was $417,250, the mean of $415,000 and $419,500. The latest sale month in the file is April 2026, and in samples this small one closing moves the median. Because floor plans repeat inside each neighborhood, a comparison against the same plan’s closings prices a specific unit better than any neighborhood median can.

What transfer fee, capital contribution or club fee applies when a Forest Glen home sells, and who pays it?

No Forest Glen document published online states a resale transfer fee, capital contribution or fund fee, so the amount for your home, and who owes it, appears on that home’s estoppel certificate and in your sales contract. The club’s fee pages sit behind a member login, and the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club official website posts no fee schedule. Figures on agent and membership-consultancy sites cite no budget or association document and disagree with each other, so we do not repeat them. What is documented: master association and club dues are billed together quarterly, and capital projects have been assessed to every member, as the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility shows. Renters obtain club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer and, per owner listings on the club’s rental board, pay the club’s transfer fee, amount unpublished. Florida caps the estoppel certificate’s own fee at $299 per association, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule (PDF). We order the estoppels when a home lists, not in the last week, and read the payment clause with you before you sign a contract.

What documents does a Forest Glen seller need?

A Forest Glen seller needs the governing documents and financial records for every association layer on the home, an estoppel certificate from each association, and the flood, insurance and permit records a buyer’s lender and insurer will request. The master association governs under the “Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Forest Glen Golf & Country Club Community,” recorded at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955, as the master association’s 2009 Certificate of Amendment recites; it was amended and restated in 2010 and amended again in 2017, per the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community. Add your neighborhood or commons association’s declaration, rules and budget and, for the 658 condominium units, the condominium declaration, budget, rules and insurance declarations page, since every Florida condominium association must carry adequate property insurance under Florida Statutes 718.111, condominium insurance. Britannia sellers add the structural integrity reserve study. For every home, gather the FEMA FIRMette, any elevation certificate, and permits and invoices for the roof, windows, shutters and air conditioning. None of the sub-associations keeps a public website, so these come from the management company, which is why we request them before the listing goes live.

Does the Forest Glen club let owners advertise a home for sale?

Yes, the club invites Forest Glen owners to list homes for sale and for rent on its website free of charge, and it posts open houses each Friday for Saturday and Sunday showings from 1 to 4 PM, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page and the Forest Glen open house list. The club site runs a Properties for Sale board, a Properties for Rent board, a Rentals Wanted board and the Open House list. That makes the club board a useful channel inside the gates, where members, seasonal renters and their guests already look. It is not a replacement for full market exposure: the board reaches people already connected to Forest Glen, while most buyers search the MLS and the sites it feeds. Owner-posted text also carries a risk, because claims about amenity counts, fees or golf rankings that the documents do not support can come back in negotiation, so we write listing copy only from the record. We use the club board alongside the MLS and our own buyer database. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, or start with a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home.

Which FEMA flood zone do I disclose when I sell a Forest Glen home?

Your Forest Glen building’s zone is what FEMA’s current map, panel 12021C0418J effective February 8, 2024, shows at the structure, and that is the zone a buyer’s lender will read. Forest Glen mixes Zone AH, a special flood hazard area of shallow ponding; shaded Zone X, the 0.2% annual chance area; and unshaded Zone X, minimal hazard. Zone X is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, and no Forest Glen address falls in Zone AE or VE. By building, Barrington has 13 of 23 buildings mapped AH, Bishopwood East 10 of 16 and Bishopwood West 10 of 26; Britannia I to III are Zone X or shaded X, and both Britannia IV buildings are AH. In the single-family and villa sections, 144 of 160 address points are Zone X, 9 shaded X and 7 AH. Those counts come from the Collier County site address points laid over the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. Pull a FIRMette for your own street number from the FEMA Map Service Center. Beyond the map, a Florida seller’s disclosure covers what the seller knows about the property, so tell your agent about any water intrusion, claims or repairs before you list.

Could Britannia’s reserve study or a future milestone inspection slow my sale?

It can when a buyer finds the paperwork late, and it rarely does when a Britannia seller leads with it. Britannia’s nine four-story buildings are the only Forest Glen condominiums under Florida’s structural integrity reserve study law, which applies to condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher at least every 10 years and required associations existing on July 1, 2022 to complete a study by December 31, 2025, per Florida Statutes 718.112, condominium bylaws and SIRS. All four Britannia associations appear in the Florida DBPR SIRS reporting database; a listing there proves a filing, not what the study found. First milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s, 30 years after each building’s certificate of occupancy, under Florida Statutes 553.899, milestone inspections. Story counts are based on unit numbering and building records, which place the two-story Barrington and Bishopwood buildings outside both laws. Buyers are closing in Britannia: it recorded 15 sales in 2025 and 2026 at a $337,000 median, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Put the study, the reserve schedule and the current budget in the package on day one.

Is my Forest Glen home a condominium or an HOA home?

If you own in Barrington, Bishopwood East, Bishopwood West or Britannia, your Forest Glen home is a condominium unit under Chapter 718, Florida Statutes; if you own in Jungle Plum East, Jungle Plum West or Periwinkle Villas, it is a fee-simple platted lot in a homeowners’ association under Chapter 720. By legal form Forest Glen has 658 condominium units in 13 condominiums and 141 platted lots (87 single-family homes and 54 Periwinkle villa lots), per the DBPR condominium filings extract (CSV). The county roll codes the villa lots as condominium, so county roll tables show 712 condominium-coded parcels and 87 single-family parcels, which is one reason automated estimates misread the villas. Every home also sits under the master association that owns the course and clubhouse. Twenty-one active associations govern the community in all, per the Sunbiz name search for the Bishopwood associations and sibling filings. The difference matters when you sell: a condominium sale needs the condominium association’s estoppel, insurance and reserve records in addition to the master and neighborhood layers, while a villa or single-family sale needs only the master and neighborhood associations.

Is there rental demand in Forest Glen if I rent instead of selling?

Yes, the club’s own boards show steady seasonal rental demand in Forest Glen: the Forest Glen rentals wanted board lists repeat seasonal renters seeking one- to three-month February and March stays, often asking for golf-inclusive rentals, and owners post available homes free on the Forest Glen properties for rent board. Renting carries its own rules and costs. Renters obtain club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, and owner listings such as the owner rental listing at 3970 Loblolly Bay Drive #403 state that the renter pays the club’s transfer fee; the club does not publish the amount. Minimum lease terms, how many leases a year are allowed and whether a tenant needs association approval are set building by building in the recorded declarations and rules, which are not published. Forest Glen is in unincorporated Collier County, so City of Naples rental rules do not apply; the declarations and county rules do. Current rents are MLS lease data, not public record, and are not shown on this page; Jesse will pull a Forest Glen MLS lease report on request at (239) 898-6072 so you can weigh a year of rent against a sale today.

When is the best time to list a Forest Glen home?

The best time to list a Forest Glen home is ahead of the winter season, with the home photographed, documented and live by the fall, before the club’s busiest months. The club’s boards show seasonal demand building toward February and March stays, per the Forest Glen rentals wanted board, which puts prospective buyers inside the gates when the community is fullest. The Main Dining Room runs its in-season dinner schedule from October to April, while from May 1 to October 18 the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays, per the Forest Glen Leadership and staff directory. Recorded sales happen year round, but 45 recorded sales in 2025 and 2026 (through April 2026) are too few to show a monthly price pattern, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). A summer listing can still work for a buyer who wants to settle in before season, as long as the photographs show the course and clubhouse in operation. Of Forest Glen’s 32 Southwest Florida MLS closings in the 12 months to 26 September 2026, 15 closed from November through April and 7 in March alone, but summer still produced closings every month from May to September; Jesse will pull Forest Glen seasonality for your neighborhood on request at (239) 898-6072.

How do Forest Glen sale prices compare with Naples Lakes and Naples Heritage?

Forest Glen’s recorded median sits below both: 45 Forest Glen sales at a $445,000 median, against 51 Naples Lakes Country Club sales at $620,000 and 63 Naples Heritage sales at $465,000 in 2025 and 2026, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Cedar Hammock, across Collier Boulevard, recorded 49 sales at $350,000 and Eagle Creek 43 at $345,000, so each community’s mix of condominiums and houses drives these medians as much as its price level does. On the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, which shows assessed values, not prices, Forest Glen’s median single-family value is $665,268 (87 homes), against $760,749 at Naples Heritage (101 homes) and $805,854 at Naples Lakes (230 homes). For a seller, that gap is a marketing point: Forest Glen offers a nationally recognized course and about 352 acres of preserve at the lowest single-family assessed median of five East Naples golf peers. See our Naples Lakes Country Club guide and Cedar Hammock guide. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home.

What is a condo estoppel certificate, and what does it cost in Forest Glen?

An estoppel certificate is an association’s signed statement of what is owed on a specific home at closing, covering regular dues, special assessments, any transfer or capital charge and any delinquency, and a Forest Glen condominium sale can need one from each of three associations. Florida caps the fee any association may charge at $299, plus $119 for expedited delivery and up to $179 more if the account is delinquent, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule (PDF). The offices that issue them differ by neighborhood: state records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs for every Barrington, Bishopwood and Britannia entity, Complete Property Management of SW Florida for Jungle Plum East, and Tropical Isles Management of Fort Myers for Jungle Plum West and Periwinkle Villas, per the Sunbiz name search for Jungle Plum East and West associations and the Sunbiz name search for the Periwinkle Villas association. The master association appears to be self-managed by club staff at 3855 Forest Glen Blvd. Who pays for each certificate is a contract term. Because the estoppel is the only document that states Forest Glen’s unpublished charges for one specific home, ordering it early removes the most common late surprise in a Forest Glen closing.

Can I sell a Forest Glen condo with a special assessment outstanding?

Yes, you can sell a Forest Glen condominium while a special assessment is outstanding; the estoppel certificate states the balance, and your contract decides whether you pay it off at closing or the buyer takes it over, usually reflected in price. Forest Glen has used member-wide assessments before: in 2016 the master board approved a $949,376 outdoor dining facility (plus an $80,000 contingency) and assessed every member $1,290, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. A 2017 amendment to the master declaration sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to CPI from 2019, above which member approval rules apply, per the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community. Condominium and neighborhood associations can levy their own assessments as well. The practical rule is to disclose any assessment adopted or under discussion, include the board minutes in the package, and price with it in view. A buyer who learns about an assessment from the estoppel a week before closing renegotiates; a buyer who reads it in the listing package has already priced it in.

How much is my Forest Glen coach home worth?

Your Forest Glen coach home’s value depends on its neighborhood, its plan, its floor, its building’s flood zone and its updates, and the public record sets the range: Barrington coach homes recorded a $545,100 median on 6 sales and Bishopwood West coach homes a $575,000 median on 5 sales in 2025 and 2026, both small samples, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Barrington coach homes are 1,897 or 2,193 square feet on two plans; Bishopwood West’s run 1,869 to 2,193 square feet on three. The 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll values Barrington’s two plans at exactly $419,400 and $456,670; those are assessed values, not prices, and recorded sales ran above them. The club’s open-house list names coach-home plans such as Hibiscus, Oleander and Willow, which helps buyers compare the same plan across buildings. A number for your unit needs current MLS closings for your plan (the page shows neighborhood medians, not plan-level ones), so we match your plan to the same plan’s recent sales and adjust for floor, view, updates and flood zone. Start with a free valuation of your Forest Glen coach home.

What have Forest Glen twin villas sold for recently?

Periwinkle Villas recorded 5 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, a small sample, with a median of $550,000 and a range of $500,000 to $650,000, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). The latest sale month in that file is April 2026; the Southwest Florida MLS adds 7 Periwinkle villa closings in the 12 months to 26 September 2026 at a $550,000 median, the latest on 11 September 2026 at $475,000, full list price. The 54 Periwinkle twin villas sit on Periwinkle Way, the community’s Beck Boulevard entrance, with 1,534 to 1,879 square feet on four plans and fee-simple lots of about 0.15 acre. The villas’ median value on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll is $443,048, an assessed value, not a price, and recorded sales ran above it. The villa section also carries a flood-map advantage: the single-family and villa area is almost entirely unshaded Zone X on FEMA’s 2024 map, which is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, per the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, though a few addresses there are shaded X or AH, so check yours before you advertise it.

What have Forest Glen single-family homes sold for?

Jungle Plum East, Forest Glen’s executive-home neighborhood, recorded 5 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, a small sample, with a median of $835,000 and a range of $760,000 to $990,000, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Jungle Plum West’s 18 estate homes recorded no qualified sales in the window, so no public-record median exists there. On the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, Jungle Plum West carries a $988,045 median assessed value (18 homes) against $657,833 in Jungle Plum East (69 homes); those are assessed values, not prices. Jungle Plum East homes run 2,176 to 2,746 square feet, and Jungle Plum West homes 2,473 to 4,284 square feet on lots of up to about 0.47 acre, the largest in Forest Glen. With so few sales, one closing moves the number, which is why a Jungle Plum West seller in particular needs a valuation built from plan-level MLS comparables inside and outside the gates, the lot and the home’s condition, not a formula. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, or request a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home.

Does the public record show sales for my specific Forest Glen condominium?

Yes, but the counts for each condominium are small, so treat them as data points, not medians to price from. Recorded qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 by condominium: Barrington I, 3 sales, median $560,000; Barrington II, 2 sales, at $460,000 and $560,000; Barrington III, 1 sale at $530,200; Bishopwood East I, 5 sales, median $410,000; Bishopwood East II, none; Bishopwood East III, 4 sales, median $424,500 (the mean of $404,000 and $445,000); Bishopwood West I, 1 sale at $450,000; Bishopwood West II, 3 sales, median $575,000; Bishopwood West III, 1 sale at $595,000; Britannia I, 2 sales, at $272,000 and $372,500; Britannia II, 7 sales, median $380,000; Britannia III, 3 sales, median $305,000; Britannia IV, 3 sales, median $246,000. Every figure is a small sample from recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), which covers 798 of the 799 homes and runs through April 2026. The spread inside Britannia alone, from a $246,000 median in Britannia IV to $380,000 in Britannia II, shows why plan, floor, building and flood zone matter more than the neighborhood name.

Why is there no Forest Glen price per square foot on this page?

This page now publishes one from MLS closed sales with measured living area: a median $243 per square foot across Forest Glen’s 32 Southwest Florida MLS closings in the 12 months to 26 September 2026, from $210 in Britannia to $326 in the Periwinkle villas; we never divide a county figure by square footage, because the result misleads. Figures circulating in AI answers and on listing sites cite no closed-sale data we could confirm. What the public record does give is living area from 1,170 to 4,284 square feet on the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file, with plans that repeat inside each neighborhood (Britannia six plans, Bishopwood East four, Bishopwood West three, Barrington two, Periwinkle four), and recorded prices by neighborhood. A community-wide figure would also mislead at both ends, because a 1,170 square foot Britannia unit and a 4,284 square foot Jungle Plum West estate carry different land, garage and association costs. Roll living area can differ from a listing’s measured figure, so measure before you advertise it. Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen MLS report with price per square foot for your plan on request at (239) 898-6072.

How long do Forest Glen homes take to sell, and how close to the asking price?

In the Southwest Florida MLS for the 12 months to 26 September 2026, Forest Glen homes took a median 47.5 days on market and sold at a median 93.49% of final list price, from 33 days in Barrington to 105 in Bishopwood East; we do not repeat the unsourced figures that circulate in AI answers. The public record shows the price and date of recorded sales, not how long a home was listed or what it was listed for: 45 recorded qualified sales in 2025 and 2026, median $445,000, range $245,000 to $990,000, latest sale month April 2026, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Britannia, with 15 of the 45, is the most frequently traded neighborhood. What shortens time on market in Forest Glen is within a seller’s control: a price set from the same plan’s closings, a full document package from the first day, a building-specific flood answer backed by FEMA’s map, and a listing that is live before the season. Jesse will pull current Forest Glen days on market and list-to-sale data for your neighborhood on request at (239) 898-6072.

Is Forest Glen a buyer’s market or a seller’s market right now?

Whether Forest Glen favors buyers or sellers today depends on active inventory measured against the recent pace of closings, and on 26 September 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS showed 13 listings against 32 closings in the prior 12 months, about 4.9 months of supply, near balance by the usual six-month yardstick, with the Bishopwood East and Britannia listings sitting longest. The public record shows only the volume and price of recorded sales: 45 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 through April 2026, at a $445,000 median, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Recorded prices ran above 2026 preliminary assessed values in every neighborhood with sales; Britannia’s $337,000 sale median on 15 sales, for example, sits against a $266,500 median assessed value across its 270 units on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll. Conditions can also differ by product, since condominium buyers weigh reserves and master insurance that single-family buyers do not. Insurance costs, a large part of buyer demand, have eased for some owners: Citizens Property Insurance cut 2026 homeowners multiperil rates by an average of 8.8%, per Citizens: 2026 multiperil rates to drop statewide. Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen absorption report for your neighborhood on request at (239) 898-6072.

Should I price a ground-floor Forest Glen coach home differently from an upstairs unit?

Possibly, but the public record cannot settle it: the 12-month Southwest Florida MLS sample is too small to measure a floor premium building by building, and the county values condominium units by plan, so an upstairs and a downstairs unit on the same plan often carry the same assessed value on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll. What does differ by floor is the set of questions a buyer asks. A ground-floor unit in a building mapped Zone AH, such as any of the nine Bishopwood West III buildings or six of eight Barrington I buildings, raises flood insurance and lender questions, per the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer read at Collier County’s structure-level address points. An upstairs unit trades those questions for stairs, since the Barrington and Bishopwood buildings are two-story, based on unit numbering and building records. A ground-floor unit in a Zone X building, which is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, answers the flood question cleanly. We price your unit from the same plan and floor where MLS closings exist and show you the evidence side by side.

Does bundled golf membership help or hurt a Forest Glen resale?

The public record does not measure the effect of Forest Glen’s bundled membership on price, but it clearly shapes who buys. The club calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community” on its Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page, and the master association owns the course and clubhouse, so a buyer joins with no separate club purchase but carries dues whether or not they play. For a golfer, that is a selling point backed by third-party records: golfer reviews on Golf Advisor (now GolfPass) ranked Forest Glen No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016, per GolfPass’s Top 25 course conditions in the U.S. in 2016, and No. 2 in the state in GolfPass’s Golfers’ Choice 2023: Best golf courses in Florida. For a buyer who does not golf, the dues are a cost to compare with non-golf communities, and current dues are not published, so the estoppel and the master budget carry that number. We market the course and preserve to golfers and present the full carrying cost plainly to everyone else. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or begin with a free valuation of your Forest Glen home.

What updates pay off before selling a Forest Glen home?

The updates that pay off before selling a Forest Glen home are the ones buyers, inspectors and insurers ask about first: roof, windows and doors, shutters and air conditioning, each documented by permit and date. Every Forest Glen home was built from 1999 to 2005, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file, a span that straddles Florida’s first statewide building code in 2002 and predates the current 2023 code, so original opening protection varies by building. Forest Glen’s Florida Building Code design wind speed is 163 mph for homes and condominiums, which places it in the wind-borne debris region, so new or replacement windows and doors need impact-rated products or approved opening protection, per the Florida Building Commission wind-borne debris report (PDF). If you have replaced windows with impact glass, added shutters, re-roofed or installed new air conditioning, gather the permit numbers and invoices. In the condominiums, roofs and exterior elements are generally association items, so the reserve schedule answers the roof question. Cosmetic work is a judgment call by plan and by what is competing; we tell you which items to do and which to price in.

Did the April 2026 wildfire affect Forest Glen values or insurance?

No record shows an effect on Forest Glen values or premiums from the April 2026 wildfire, and no report describes damage inside Forest Glen; the recorded sales in the state file end in April 2026, too soon to measure anything. During the Newman Road Fire in the Picayune Strand area near I-75, April 13 to 15, 2026, which grew to 1,733 acres and was 60% contained by April 15, Forest Glen was included in evacuation alerts, per WUSF on the Newman Road fire, and WGCU reported that “evacuations have been lifted for Forest Glen Community,” per WGCU’s Newman Road wildfire evacuations report. Buyers may ask, because the community has a real wildland edge: about 352 acres of preserve, more than half the land, per the Collier Planning Commission staff report, with the eastern preserve bordering large Rural Fringe “Sending” conservation lands. The same preserve is one of Forest Glen’s strongest selling points, crossed by a paved nature trail of about 1.9 miles on the club’s site map. Greater Naples Fire Rescue Station 72 sits at 3820 Beck Blvd on the northern edge, per the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District station locations. Answer the question plainly, then show the preserve.

What insurance questions will buyers ask about my Forest Glen home?

Buyers of a Forest Glen home ask four insurance questions: the building’s flood zone, whether flood coverage is required, what the condominium master policy covers, and what wind coverage costs. On flood, Citizens Property Insurance already requires flood coverage on its wind policies for homes in the special flood hazard area and will require it on all remaining homes from January 1, 2027, while condominium unit-owner (HO-6) policies are exempt, per Citizens Property Insurance flood requirements. Across all 5,463 NFIP policies in ZIP 34114 that took effect June 2025 to May 2026, the median annual cost was $1,528, per OpenFEMA NFIP policies for ZIP 34114, and unincorporated Collier County’s Class 5 rating in FEMA’s Community Rating System is worth a 25% discount on eligible NFIP policies, per the FEMA Community Rating System eligible communities list effective April 1, 2026. For a condominium, ask your association for its current insurance declarations page showing whether the master policy includes flood and what the wind deductible is. Single-family and villa sellers help a buyer’s agent quote quickly by providing any elevation certificate, the roof permit date and records of window and shutter upgrades.

Should I get an elevation certificate or a new LOMA before selling my Forest Glen home?

If your Forest Glen building is mapped Zone AH, an elevation certificate and possibly a new Letter of Map Amendment are worth raising with your association and a licensed surveyor before you list, because they give a buyer’s lender and insurer real numbers. FEMA issued 13 LOMAs in 2012 covering Barrington I to III, Bishopwood West I to III, Bishopwood East II and III and four Jungle Plum East lots, but its current layer lists every one as not incorporated into the 2024 map, per the FEMA Letters of Map Amendment query. FEMA’s letters describe the local flood source as “ponding/overland flow,” and surveyed ground at those buildings ran 12.0 to 13.8 feet NAVD88, per a 2012 FEMA LOMA determination for a Forest Glen building, above the only base flood elevation line FEMA draws across Forest Glen, 10.5 feet NAVD88, per the FEMA base flood elevation query. That makes many AH buildings appear to be candidates for a new LOMA, an address-specific engineering question; in a condominium, work through the association, since the whole building is affected. The one elevation certificate Collier holds inside Forest Glen shows a finished floor of 13.0 feet NAVD88, per the county-held elevation certificate for a Jungle Plum Drive East home.

Will my buyer’s lender require flood insurance on my Forest Glen building?

If your Forest Glen building is mapped Zone AH on FEMA’s current map, a lender on a federally backed mortgage will require flood insurance unless a current LOMA removes the structure; if it is Zone X, which is not a Special Flood Hazard Area, the lender decides. Lenders read the current map, panel 12021C0418J effective February 8, 2024, per the FEMA FIRM panel query at Forest Glen, and the 2012 LOMAs for many Barrington, Bishopwood and Jungle Plum East buildings are listed as not carried onto it. Lenders decide insurance requirements building by building. A cash buyer of a house or villa who places wind coverage with Citizens is still subject to Citizens’ flood rule. The cost is often lower than buyers fear: in Census tract 111.14, which is far larger than Forest Glen, the median NFIP policy cost $1,117 in Zone AH and $1,085 in Zone X, per OpenFEMA NFIP policy data, because under FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 the zone letter alone does not set the price, and most rates may not rise more than 18% a year. Have a quote on your building ready for buyers.

Can I market my Forest Glen home to buyers who want to rent it out?

Yes, rental demand is a real selling point in Forest Glen, as long as your listing states only what your building’s declaration allows. The club’s Rentals Wanted board shows seasonal renters asking for one- to three-month February and March stays, often golf-inclusive, and owners post rentals free on the club’s rental board. Buyers who plan to rent ask three questions: the minimum lease term, how many leases a year the association allows, and whether tenants need association approval. Those answers are set in each condominium or neighborhood declaration and its rules, which are not published online, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page and the master association’s 2009 Certificate of Amendment, which recites the master declaration. Have those pages ready with the listing. Renters join the club through a golf or social membership transfer and pay the club’s transfer fee, an amount the club does not publish. Collier County rules apply alongside the declarations, because Forest Glen is outside the City of Naples. Rents are MLS lease data not shown on this page; Jesse will pull a current Forest Glen lease report on request at (239) 898-6072.

Can I sell my Forest Glen home with a tenant in place?

Yes, you can sell a Forest Glen home with a tenant in place, but the lease, the tenant’s club membership transfer and showing access all need planning before you list. As a general Florida rule, a sale does not end an existing lease; the buyer takes the property subject to it unless the lease provides otherwise, so a buyer who wants to move in needs the end date and any renewal or termination terms up front. In Forest Glen a tenant holds club privileges through a golf or social membership transfer, per owner listings on the Forest Glen properties for rent board, so the buyer should know the club use is committed for the lease term. Seasonal leases can work in your favor: a lease that ends in March or April frees the home as the season closes. Showings depend on the tenant’s cooperation under the lease’s access terms, so agree a showing schedule early. Whether you may lease at all, and for how long, is set by your building’s declaration, so confirm the current lease complied. Have a Florida real estate attorney review the lease. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and request a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home.

Do I owe capital gains tax when I sell my Forest Glen home?

Possibly; capital gains tax on a Forest Glen sale is a federal income tax question that turns on your purchase price, your improvements, how long you owned and lived in the home and your filing status, so treat this answer as general information and confirm your situation with a CPA or tax attorney. Florida does not levy a personal state income tax, so the question is federal. Federal law lets a qualifying owner exclude part of the gain on a principal residence that meets ownership and use tests, while a second home or rental property generally does not qualify the same way, and depreciation claimed on a rental can be taxed when it sells. Keep your purchase closing statement and records of every capital improvement, such as a roof, impact windows or an air conditioning replacement with its permit, because improvements add to your cost basis and reduce the taxable gain. None of this affects your property taxes, which are a separate county matter covered in the next answers and on the Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier millage codes. We are real estate agents, not tax advisers; we coordinate with your accountant on timing and the closing statement.

What happens to my homestead exemption when I sell my Forest Glen home?

Your Forest Glen homestead exemption and its Save Our Homes cap belong to you, not the house: the buyer does not inherit them, and the property’s assessment resets for the new owner. The size of that reset is visible on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll: Save Our Homes benefits across Forest Glen’s 799 homes total $38,885,123 of assessed value, and two identical Barrington units, each assessed at $419,400, carry 2026 preliminary roll estimates of $2,228.05 in taxes with homestead and $4,362.61 without. Of the 799 homes, 310 (38.8%) carry a homestead exemption: 60 of 87 single-family homes and 250 of 712 condominium-coded parcels. If you are buying another Florida home, ask the county before you close how your accumulated benefit may be carried to a new homestead, because filing deadlines matter. If you are leaving Florida, the exemption ends with the sale. This is general information, not tax advice, and the county’s property records office confirms the rules for your parcel.

How should I explain the property tax reset to a Forest Glen buyer?

Tell a Forest Glen buyer to budget property taxes on a new assessment that will track closer to the purchase price, at roughly the current millage, and not on your bill, because your homestead and assessment caps do not transfer. Adopted 2025 millage for Forest Glen (millage code 39) was 10.5058 mills, per the Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier millage codes; the county’s 2026 preliminary roll computes estimates at 10.4020 mills, and final 2026 rates appear on the November bill. A 2025 bill shows how the caps work: a Loblolly Bay Drive condominium without homestead had a non-school taxable value of $173,496 and a school taxable value of $258,590 and owed $2,184.27, or $2,096.90 paid in November at the 4% early discount, per the Collier Tax Collector 2025 tax bill for a Loblolly Bay Dr condominium. The gap reflects Florida’s 10% annual cap on non-homestead assessments, which does not apply to school levies. Single-family bills add the county “District 1 Garbage” charge, $261.91 on a 2025 Jungle Plum Drive tax bill, and no Forest Glen bill carries a CDD assessment. A buyer who sees a realistic number early does not balk at closing.

What property taxes apply when I sell a Forest Glen second home?

On the property tax side, selling a Forest Glen second home ends your 10% non-homestead assessment cap, the buyer’s assessment resets, and the current year’s taxes are prorated between you and the buyer at closing; income tax on any gain is a separate federal question for your tax adviser. Most Forest Glen homes are not homesteaded: 310 of the 799 carry a homestead exemption on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll. Non-homestead homes pay school levies on a taxable value that the 10% cap does not limit, which is why the 2025 Loblolly Bay Drive condominium tax bill shows $173,496 of non-school taxable value but $258,590 of school taxable value. Median 2026 preliminary roll tax estimates are $2,824.15 for the 712 condominium-coded homes and $4,328.61 for the 87 single-family homes. Florida property taxes are billed in November for the calendar year, so at a spring closing the seller typically credits the buyer for the months the seller owned the home. Ask the title company for a proration estimate early, and keep your final tax bill and closing statement for your accountant.

Is a Forest Glen condo harder to sell than a Forest Glen house?

A Forest Glen condominium is not harder to sell, but it takes more paperwork, because the buyer is buying the building’s finances and insurance along with the unit. Condominium-coded homes dominate the record: 40 of the 45 recorded 2025 and 2026 sales, including the villas, with Britannia alone at 15, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). A condominium buyer’s lender and attorney read the association budget, reserves and insurance declarations page and, for Britannia, the structural integrity reserve study required by Florida Statutes 718.112, and a condominium sale can need three estoppels. The competition is often an identical plan in the same building, so presentation and a ready document file win. A single-family or villa sale in Jungle Plum or on Periwinkle Way turns more on the lot, the systems and the flood map, which is almost entirely Zone X there. Single-family recorded sales were few: 5 in Jungle Plum East and none in Jungle Plum West, which makes each one harder to price and each listing more important to get right.

How do real estate commissions work when I sell in Forest Glen?

Real estate commissions on a Forest Glen sale are negotiable and set in your written listing agreement; no Florida law or association rule fixes a rate. The listing agreement states what your listing brokerage is paid and whether, and how much, you offer toward a buyer’s brokerage, and buyers now generally sign their own written agreement with their agent that states what that agent is paid. Florida law also requires a brokerage to disclose the relationship it has with you, commonly a transaction broker relationship unless you agree to single-agent representation, and Florida real estate licensure is regulated by the Florida Real Estate Commission. When you compare agents, compare what the fee buys: pricing built from the record, a complete document package with estoppels ordered at listing, a marketing plan that reaches golf buyers and the club’s own boards, and negotiation. See how Naples agents compare on the public record in our guide to the best real estate agents in Naples. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to talk through terms, or start with a free Forest Glen home valuation.

What should a Forest Glen listing agreement cover?

A Forest Glen listing agreement should cover the list price, the term, the compensation, what the brokerage will do, and any exclusions, all in writing before marketing starts. Florida listing agreements are commonly written as an exclusive right of sale for a set term; the term and any early-cancellation terms are negotiable, so read them before you sign. For a Forest Glen home, the service section should name the tasks that matter here: ordering estoppels from each association layer (master, neighborhood or commons, and condominium where it applies), assembling the declarations, budgets, rules and insurance declarations page, pulling the building’s FEMA zone from the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, and posting on the club’s own Properties for Sale board alongside the MLS. If you have a buyer in mind, such as a neighbor or a current renter, list that person as an exclusion. The agreement also carries the brokerage relationship disclosure. Ask any agent you interview to show you the document package they would build for your specific building.

How do McGreevy and Comisar market a Forest Glen listing?

McGreevy and Comisar market a Forest Glen listing by selling the course, the preserve and the value against peer communities, and by putting every document a buyer needs in the package from the first day. The story is backed by records: golfer reviews on Golf Advisor (now GolfPass) ranked the course No. 1 in the U.S. for course conditions in 2016, about 352 acres of native vegetation are recorded preserve per the Collier Planning Commission staff report, and Forest Glen has the lowest single-family assessed median of five East Naples golf communities on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll. In the last 12 months we have built public-record benchmarks for five East Naples golf communities, so we can show a buyer exactly where your home sits against Naples Lakes, Naples Heritage, Cedar Hammock and Eagle Creek. We pair full MLS exposure with the club’s own sale board and weekend open houses, speak the club’s plan names, pull your building’s FEMA zone at the structure, order estoppels at listing and, for Britannia, lead with the reserve study. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Who is the best realtor to sell a Forest Glen home?

The best realtor for a Forest Glen sale is one who knows the 21 associations, the estoppel process, the building-by-building flood map and Britannia’s reserve file, and who prices from recorded sales rather than portal estimates; that is how Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar work. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and McGreevy and Comisar personally have over $900 million in sales. Our Forest Glen file is built from the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file, the county roll, FEMA’s 2024 map and the state’s condominium records, the same sources on this page. Judge any agent by the same test: ask for the recorded sales in your neighborhood with n stated, your building’s FEMA zone and a list of the documents they will request. Compare teams in our guide to the best real estate agents in Naples, read Jesse McGreevy’s agent profile and Marc Comisar’s agent profile, or learn about Domain Realty Group. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Can I sell my Forest Glen home by owner?

Yes, you can sell a Forest Glen home by owner, and the club even lets owners post homes for sale on its website free of charge, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page. The work does not shrink without an agent, though. You still need estoppel certificates from every association on the home, capped at $299 each by the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule (PDF); the declarations, budgets, rules and, for a condominium, the insurance declarations page and reserve records; the building’s FEMA zone; a Florida purchase contract; and a title company or attorney to close. The club board reaches people already connected to Forest Glen, not the wider buyer pool searching the MLS, and a buyer with an agent will still expect the document package. Most by-owner sellers also underestimate how much one comparable in a small sample, such as Barrington’s 6 recorded sales, can move a price. If you try it yourself first, start with a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home so you list at a defensible number.

What closing costs does a Forest Glen seller pay?

A Forest Glen seller’s closing costs are set by the contract and local custom, and the title company’s estimate is the document that totals them; we do not publish a percentage, because it varies by price and terms. The typical line items are the brokerage compensation in your listing agreement; the state’s documentary stamp tax on the deed and the owner’s title policy, depending on who the contract assigns them to; estoppel certificate fees, capped at $299 per association plus optional expedite charges, per the Florida DBPR estoppel certificate fee schedule (PDF); prorated property taxes for the current year; prorated quarterly dues; any outstanding special assessment balance; and payoff of any mortgage. Forest Glen dues are billed quarterly together with club dues, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice, so the proration can be meaningful depending on the closing date. Whether any resale transfer or capital charge applies, and who pays it, is on the estoppel and in the contract. Ask the title company for a seller’s estimate as soon as a contract is signed.

Can an online estimate tell me what my Forest Glen home is worth?

An online estimate can give a rough starting range for a Forest Glen home, but it often misreads Forest Glen for three documented reasons. First, the county values condominium units by plan, so assessed values cluster (Barrington’s two plans sit at exactly $419,400 and $456,670 on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll), and assessed values run below recorded prices. Second, the roll codes the 54 Periwinkle villa lots as condominium, which can pair villas with the wrong comparables. Third, some listing and data sites mislabel “Forest Glen of Naples,” the recorded plat name, as a Golden Gate neighborhood, per the Collier County PUD record for Forest Glen of Naples, so figures attached to that label do not describe this community. An estimate also cannot see your floor, view, updates or building flood zone. For a number you can list at, get a comparative market analysis built from the same plan’s closings. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, or request a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home.

How can I work out my Forest Glen home’s value myself?

You can build a first estimate of your Forest Glen home’s value in four steps using public records, then check it against current MLS closings. Step one: identify your neighborhood and plan; living areas and plans are on the Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file, and the club’s open-house list uses plan names such as Braxton and Cornell for garden homes. Step two: find your neighborhood’s recorded sales, stated with n; for example Bishopwood East recorded 9 sales in 2025 and 2026, a small sample, with a $410,000 median, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). Step three: compare that to your neighborhood’s median on the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll, $310,485 across Bishopwood East’s 192 units (an assessed value, not a price), to see how far recorded prices ran above assessed values. Step four: adjust for floor, view, updates and your building’s FEMA zone. What you cannot do from public records is see sales after April 2026, list prices or days on market; those come from the MLS, and Jesse will pull them for your plan at (239) 898-6072.

Is my 2026 assessed value what my Forest Glen home is worth?

No, your 2026 assessed value is a county tax figure, not a price, and in Forest Glen recorded sale prices ran above assessed values in every neighborhood with sales. Compare the neighborhood medians (recorded sales n, then units on the roll): Britannia recorded a $337,000 sale median (15 sales) against a $266,500 median assessed value (270 units); Bishopwood East $410,000 (9 sales) against $310,485 (192 units); Barrington $545,100 (6 sales) against $438,035 (92 units); Bishopwood West $575,000 (5 sales) against $424,400 (104 units); Periwinkle Villas $550,000 (5 sales) against $443,048 (54 villas); and Jungle Plum East $835,000 (5 sales) against $657,833 (69 homes). Sale figures are recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel), each neighborhood except Britannia a small sample; assessed figures are from the 2026 Collier County preliminary assessed roll. The gap is not a fixed ratio you can apply to your home: it varies by neighborhood, and the county values condominiums by plan, not by floor, view or updates. Jungle Plum West has no recorded sale to compare against its $988,045 assessed median across 18 homes. Use the assessed value as a floor for the conversation, not as a list price.

What is a special assessment, and how do Forest Glen associations levy one?

A special assessment is a one-time charge an association levies on owners, beyond regular dues, to pay for a project or shortfall, and in Forest Glen it can come from the master association or from your neighborhood or condominium association. The master association’s documented example is the 2016 outdoor dining project: a $949,376 facility (plus an $80,000 contingency), approved 6 to 1 on May 12, 2016, and assessed at $1,290 per member, billed $215 a quarter for six quarters, per the Forest Glen Master Board notice on the 2016 outdoor dining facility. The master declaration’s 2017 amendment sets a special-assessment or capital-improvement spending limit of $400,000, indexed to CPI from 2019, above which member approval rules apply, per the recorded declarations of the Forest Glen master community. Condominium associations levy under their declarations and Chapter 718, and reserve rules shape how often they need to, per Florida Statutes 718.112. The master association files no public Form 990, per its ProPublica nonprofit lookup, so its budget and minutes are available to members, not online. For a seller, the estoppel lists any assessment owed on your home.

Can a milestone inspection lead to a special assessment in Forest Glen?

It can, but only in Britannia, the one Forest Glen neighborhood whose four-story buildings fall under Florida’s milestone inspection and reserve study laws. Under Florida Statutes 553.899, milestone inspections, a phase one inspection by a licensed architect or engineer is a visual examination, and a phase two inspection follows only if phase one finds substantial structural deterioration; repairs found necessary are the association’s to fund, through reserves, the budget or an assessment. Britannia’s first milestone inspections fall due in the early to mid 2030s, 30 years after each building’s certificate of occupancy. The structural integrity reserve study is the nearer-term document: associations existing on July 1, 2022 had to complete one by December 31, 2025, per Florida Statutes 718.112, and all four Britannia associations appear in the state’s SIRS reporting database. A study that shows underfunded reserves can lead to higher dues or an assessment, so a Britannia seller should read the study and budget before listing. The two-story Barrington and Bishopwood buildings, based on unit numbering and building records, are outside both laws.

Where can I check Britannia’s SIRS and milestone filings?

You can check whether each Britannia association has reported a structural integrity reserve study in the state’s public database, and read the rules and filing portals on the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s condominium pages. The Florida DBPR SIRS reporting database lists all four Britannia condominium associations; a listing proves a report was filed, not its findings or funding. The Florida DBPR SIRS reporting information page explains what associations must report, and the Florida DBPR condominium milestone inspections and SIRS page covers milestone rules and portals. The study itself, the reserve schedule and any inspection report sit in the association’s official records, which the management company provides; for every Britannia entity the state records list Cambridge Management of Bonita Springs, per the Sunbiz name search for the Britannia of Forest Glen associations. Request the study and the current budget together, so a buyer sees both the findings and how the association is funding them.

What are Florida’s condo reserve requirements for Forest Glen associations?

For Forest Glen, Florida’s reserve rules split by building height: Britannia’s four-story buildings need a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years, while the two-story Barrington and Bishopwood condominiums remain under Florida’s general reserve rules for associations. The study requirement applies to condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher, and associations existing on July 1, 2022 had to complete one by December 31, 2025, per Florida Statutes 718.112, condominium bylaws and SIRS. The same statute governs condominium budgets and reserve accounts for the other Forest Glen condominiums. Story counts are based on unit numbering and building records. Separately, every Florida condominium association must carry adequate property insurance, with replacement cost determined at least every three years, per Florida Statutes 718.111, and that cost flows into the budget buyers read. A seller’s best move is to hand buyers the current budget with its reserve lines and, for Britannia, the study.

Does a golf course view add value to a Forest Glen home?

The public record does not measure a golf-view premium in Forest Glen: view is tagged on MLS closed sales, which this page’s MLS pull does not break out, and the county values condominium units by plan, not by what they face. What the record shows is where views are. The club’s Forest Glen Golf and Country Club site map (PDF) marks the course, lakes, neighborhoods and the large eastern preserve, and a 2009 resident column in the Naples Daily News on Forest Glen’s preserves, canals and golf course described seven holes that wind through the preserves with no homes bordering them, which is why fairway, lake and preserve outlooks differ building by building. Your listing should name the view precisely, show it in photographs taken from inside the home, and mark the home on the site map. Whether buyers paid more for the same plan with a fairway outlook in recent closings is an MLS question; Jesse will pull view-tagged closings for your plan on request at (239) 898-6072.

What is the slowest time of year to sell in Forest Glen?

The record does not measure a slowest month for Forest Glen sales, but the club calendar points to late summer and early fall as the quietest stretch inside the gates. From May 1 to October 18 the golf course, golf shop and clubhouse close on Mondays, and the Main Dining Room shifts to Tuesday and Friday evenings from 5 PM between May and September, per the Forest Glen Leadership and staff directory. Seasonal renters, who are often future buyers, arrive for February and March stays, per the club’s Rentals Wanted board. Recorded sales do close year round, and 45 recorded sales in 2025 and 2026 are too few to show a monthly pattern, per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). A quieter month is not a reason to wait if your plan has little competition; it can be the month your home is the only one of its kind listed. Jesse will pull monthly Forest Glen MLS closings and active listings for your plan at (239) 898-6072.

What does a Forest Glen condo rent for?

Forest Glen rents are not public record: they come from MLS lease closings, which are not shown on this page, so we do not publish a rent figure. What the record shows is demand and rules. The club’s Rentals Wanted board shows repeat seasonal renters seeking one- to three-month February and March stays, often golf-inclusive, and owners list available homes free on the club’s properties for rent board. A tenant’s club access runs through a golf or social membership transfer, with the renter paying the club’s transfer fee, amount unpublished. Minimum lease terms are set building by building in the declarations, so a building that bars one-month leases changes the math for a seasonal owner. Seasonal rent also carries costs an annual lease does not, including furnishing, turnover and Florida and county taxes on short-term rentals; ask your accountant how those apply to you. If you are deciding between renting and selling, Jesse will pull current Forest Glen lease closings by plan on request at (239) 898-6072 and set them beside a valuation.

Should I sell my Forest Glen home to a cash “we buy houses” company?

A cash buyer can make sense for a Forest Glen owner who values speed and certainty over price, but compare any offer against the recorded sales for your neighborhood before you sign. The benchmark is public: Forest Glen recorded 45 qualified sales in 2025 and 2026 at a $445,000 median, with neighborhood medians from $337,000 in Britannia (15 sales) to $835,000 in Jungle Plum East (5 sales, a small sample), per recorded qualified sales, Florida Department of Revenue 2026 preliminary tax-roll file (two most recent sales per parcel). A cash buyer still needs the estoppel certificates, still becomes a club member through ownership, and still faces the association’s lease and approval rules if it plans to rent. Read any assignment clause, inspection period and closing-cost terms carefully, because some cash contracts shift costs to the seller. If speed matters because of a move, an estate or an assessment, a well-prepared listing with estoppels ordered at the start can often close on a similar timeline. We will put a cash offer and a listing side by side for you with no obligation. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How does club membership pass to my buyer at closing?

In Forest Glen, club membership is bundled with ownership, so your buyer becomes a member through the purchase rather than by buying a separate membership, and your own membership ends when title passes. The club calls Forest Glen “a gated, membership-inclusive community” and recognizes 799 residences as its membership base, per the Forest Glen Golf and Country Club Real Estate page, and the master association that bills dues owns the course and clubhouse. The exact membership classes are set in the recorded declaration and club documents, which the club does not publish, and whether any capital or transfer charge applies at purchase appears on the estoppel certificate. The practical steps are to order the master association estoppel early, tell the club’s membership office the expected closing date so billing, gate access and member credentials move cleanly, and settle any account balance at closing. The club publishes a Membership and Employee Relations Coordinator role on its Leadership and staff directory, which is the office to contact. If a tenant holds a transferred membership through your lease, address that timing in the contract.

Will buyers ask about hurricane damage in Forest Glen?

Yes, buyers ask, and the record helps a Forest Glen seller: no county, news or association record we found describes storm flooding or storm damage inside Forest Glen. The nearest official instruments recorded strong storms: during Irma in 2017 the Collier County EOC about 2.5 miles south recorded a 106-knot (about 122 mph) gust, and the Naples 7 E gauge 1.7 miles north measured 11.46 inches of rain, per the National Hurricane Center report on Hurricane Irma. In Ian in 2022, the National Weather Service placed storm surge across almost all of Collier County south and west of US 41, about 5 miles from Forest Glen, per the NWS Miami Hurricane Ian summary. NFIP claims across ZIP 34114, not Forest Glen alone, numbered 110 after Irma and 146 after Ian, per OpenFEMA NFIP claims for ZIP 34114. For your own home, disclose any storm repair or claim you know of and provide the permits for roof or window work, since that is what a buyer’s inspector will check. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, or start with a free home valuation for your Forest Glen home.

Will road work or nearby development affect my Forest Glen sale?

No public record measures an effect on Forest Glen prices from nearby projects, but buyers will ask about three, and each has a documented answer. FDOT’s $97 million rebuild of the I-75 and Collier Boulevard (Exit 101) interchange, with flyovers over Davis and Beck boulevards, has an estimated completion of late 2026, per the FDOT fact sheet for the I-75 at SR 951 interchange; when it finishes, the interchange about a mile from the gate becomes a selling point rather than a detour. The 9.6 acre commercial corner at Collier and Beck boulevards, inside the PUD but outside the gates, was the subject of a petition scheduled for the Board of County Commissioners on September 22, 2026, to allow up to 36,720 square feet of indoor-only membership sports and recreation club space within the existing 100,000 square foot cap, per the Collier Clerk legal ad for the Forest Glen of Naples PUD amendment; the adopted ordinance had not been published when this page was researched. The county’s Collier Boulevard Phase III widening is north of I-75 and does not change the road in front of Forest Glen. Present these facts plainly with the listing.

Does my buyer need association approval to buy a Forest Glen home?

Whether a Forest Glen buyer needs association approval, and how long approval takes, is set in each condominium and neighborhood declaration and its rules, which are not published online, so check yours before you sign a contract with a closing date. Forest Glen has 21 active associations: the master association, 13 condominium associations and 7 neighborhood or commons associations, per filings such as the Sunbiz name search for Barrington Commons Association. Lease, pet and vehicle rules sit in the same documents, per the master association’s 2009 Certificate of Amendment, which recites the master declaration at Official Records Book 2536, Page 1955. If your building requires an application or an interview, ask the management company for the form, fee and typical timeline when you order the estoppel, and build that time into the contract so approval does not delay closing. A buyer who plans to rent should also see any approval rule for tenants. We collect these answers at listing so buyers and their lenders know the schedule from the first offer.

Downloadable Documents

Forest Glen’s zoning ordinances, flood and storm records, association filings, tax tables and civic-pipeline notices are public records, and each document below links straight to the authority that publishes it: the Collier County Clerk and Board of County Commissioners, the Florida Department of Revenue, the Florida Division of Corporations and DBPR, FEMA, NOAA and the club. We host no copies. FEMA Letters of Map Amendment for individual Forest Glen buildings are listed with the federal sources above.

A few state and federal hosts refuse automated requests but open normally in a browser; those links were confirmed in a browser on 24 September 2026.
