Fort Myers

Fort Myers

Fort Myers is Southwest Florida's historic urban core — the city Thomas Edison helped shape with the McGregor Boulevard royal palms, where the Caloosahatchee River meets a 25-year downtown revitalization still unfolding three and a half years after Hurricane Ian. The River District anchors the prestige; master-planned Gateway, golf-focused Daniels Parkway, and rural Buckingham acreage round out the metro. It's the only city in Florida with two MLB spring training franchises — the Boston Red Sox at JetBlue Park (Fenway South) and the Minnesota Twins at Hammond Stadium (Lee Health Sports Complex). It's home to Lee Health's 17,000-employee health system with the only Level II trauma center between Sarasota and Miami. And the Edison & Ford Winter Estates draws 200,000+ visitors annually to one of the most-visited historic sites in Florida. This 2026 guide is the most thorough Fort Myers real estate resource on the web — honest framing on hurricane recovery, current April market data, 30 FAQs, and 60+ neighborhood profiles from Dean Park bungalows to Gulf Harbour's gulf-access estates. McGreevy and Comisar have been the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, with over $2.5 billion sold.

Bonita Bay real estate in Bonita Springs is centered around a master-planned, gated luxury community known for its waterfront setting, golf courses, and extensive natural preserves. Spanning more than 2,400 acres along the Imperial River and Estero Bay, Bonita Bay offers a mix of high-rise condominiums, carriage homes, villas, and estate properties with access to private amenities and scenic outdoor spaces.

The community is divided into several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own style and lifestyle appeal. Along the bayfront and golf courses, high-rise residences such as Tavira, Azure, Seaglass, and Esperia South feature panoramic Gulf and preserve views, private elevators, resort-style pools, and luxury amenities. These buildings are especially popular with seasonal residents and buyers seeking low-maintenance living with upscale finishes.

Within the interior neighborhoods, communities like Bay Woods, Anchorage, Laurel Ridge, and Riverwalk offer single-family homes and villas surrounded by lakes, preserves, and golf fairways. Many properties include larger lots, private pools, and mature landscaping that reflects the established character of Bonita Bay.

Golf-focused buyers are often drawn to neighborhoods surrounding Bonita Bay Club’s five championship golf courses, while boating enthusiasts appreciate access to a private marina and Gulf access through Estero Bay. The community also features miles of walking and biking trails woven throughout the preserve areas, creating a quieter and more residential atmosphere compared with some newer developments in Southwest Florida.

Buyers can choose from luxury penthouses, maintenance-free condos, attached villas, custom estate homes, and waterfront residences, depending on lifestyle goals and seasonal versus year-round use.

Living in Bonita Bay as a Homebuyer

Bonita Bay is located in Bonita Springs along the Gulf Coast between Naples and Fort Myers, offering convenient access to beaches, boating, golf, and dining. One of the community’s most unique features is its balance between luxury living and preserved natural surroundings, with more than half the property dedicated to lakes, parks, and nature areas.

Residents have access to a private beach park on the Gulf of Mexico with shuttle service from within the community. The Bonita Bay Club includes golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness facilities, dining, and social events, though membership structures vary depending on the property and buyer preferences.

Outside the gates, residents are close to Coconut Point Mall, Mercato, The Promenade at Bonita Bay, and downtown Bonita Springs. Everyday errands, medical facilities, and dining are all within a short drive via US-41 or Bonita Beach Road.

Whether you prefer a luxury condo with sunset views, a golf course estate home, or a villa surrounded by preserves, Bonita Bay offers a quieter and more established lifestyle than many newer communities in Southwest Florida.
