Horizons at Bonita Bay is a 24-story luxury high-rise condominium tower at 4731 Bonita Bay Boulevard inside the master-planned community of Bonita Bay in Bonita Springs, Florida — situated on the western edge of the community, oriented toward Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico horizon beyond it. Completed in 2000 by The Lutgert Companies, one of Southwest Florida's most respected luxury developers, Horizons contains 80 residences arranged on 23 residential floors at four units per floor — all of them 3-bedroom-plus-den floor plans ranging from 3,165 to 3,733 square feet, plus two extraordinary penthouses on the top floor at over 5,600 square feet each. Nothing at Horizons is small.
The building's name is not marketing language. From the upper floors of this tower, buyers and sellers routinely describe the experience the same way: you step onto your private terrace and see Estero Bay spread out to the west, the Gulf of Mexico visible at higher elevations beyond the barrier island chain, and the Arthur Hills fairways and Bonita Bay's native preserve unfolding below and to the east. The word "horizon" is quite literally what you are looking at from a 17th-floor end unit. Lower floors trade some of the open water view for golf-course canopy and preserve views — still exceptional, just different in character.
If you are reading this page, you are almost certainly evaluating one of three decisions: whether Horizons is the right high-rise for your lifestyle and budget; how Horizons compares to its Bonita Bay tower neighbors — Vistas, Estancia, Azure, Esperia South, Tavira, Seaglass, and Omega; or, if you already own here, what your unit is worth in a market with no comparable inventory currently listed. This guide is written to answer all three, along with every other question a serious buyer or seller asks about Horizons before signing a seven-figure contract.
This page is long by design. Most other pages about Horizons are thin stubs that tell you the unit count and then push you to call. That is not how we think high-stakes real estate decisions should be made. Buying or selling a $1.1 million to $3.2 million condominium inside a gated master community — with layered HOA structures, optional club memberships, FEMA coastal flood designations, post-Surfside reserve study requirements, and a post-Ian insurance market that has fundamentally changed — deserves a complete picture. We will give you one.
When you drive into Bonita Bay through the staffed main gate off U.S. 41, you enter a community that occupies 2,400 acres of Bonita Springs land between Spring Creek to the north, the Imperial River to the south, and Estero Bay to the west. Less than half of that land is developed. The rest is preserve, lakes, native vegetation, and waterway. Bonita Bay Boulevard, the community's main spine, curves westward from the gate toward the water — and it is at the far western end of this boulevard, closest to Estero Bay, where you find the high-rise district that includes Horizons.
The building's address is 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd. When you pull up, the first thing you encounter is the lobby — and the lobby at Horizons is memorable. A 25-foot waterfall anchors the entry, a statement architectural element that immediately signals the building's positioning and distinguishes it from every other tower in the Bonita Bay high-rise corridor. If you have toured Tavira, Esperia, or Estancia and found them impressive, the Horizons lobby will stop you for a moment regardless.
The building is managed as a condominium by the Horizons at Bonita Bay Condominium Association, Inc. (Florida Division of Corporations Document Number N98000000226, ACTIVE), with professional property management through Gulf Breeze Management Services of SW Florida. Residents access the building's services — package tracking, maintenance requests, amenity reservations, visitor management — through the BuildingLink platform, a modern property management system used by luxury high-rises nationally. The association office phone is (239) 992-0725 and the email is [email protected].
Ownership at Horizons involves three separate but interlocking layers, and understanding all three is essential before you make an offer.
Layer one is the building itself — the Horizons Condominium Association. Your condo fee (~$3,057/month) covers the building's operations: building insurance, water, sewer, cable, on-site manager, reserves, trash, grounds, and common areas. The building has its own pool, fitness room, massage rooms, social room with a bar and game room, 4 elevators, 2 guest suites available for resident reservation, and under-building parking. This is your baseline.
Layer two is the Bonita Bay Community Association (BBCA) — the master homeowner association that every property owner inside Bonita Bay gates automatically joins. The BBCA master assessment (separate from your condo fee) covers community-wide infrastructure: the staffed 24/7 guard gates, roads, streetlighting, lake management, three community parks, the Private Beach on Little Hickory Island, 12 miles of walking and biking trails, community activities programming, fiber internet through Hotwire, and 30+ resident clubs. This is automatic with ownership — no separate application or opt-in required.
Layer three is the Bonita Bay Club — an optional, separate membership for golf, tennis, pickleball, fitness, spa, and dining. Golf membership initiation is $150,000 with $19,500 in annual dues. Sports membership (no full golf) is $60,000 initiation with $10,110 in annual dues. The Club is not mandatory, but most Horizons owners participate. The Club currently has a waiting list — a rarity among private clubs in Southwest Florida that tells you something important about the community's desirability.
The typical Horizons owner is a seasonal resident from the Northeast or Midwest who uses the unit November through April and leaves it dark or lightly used in the summer months. Full-time residents exist but are the minority. The resident community is socially active — the building holds organized events, the BBCA runs 30+ clubs with over 1,000 members in the top three sports clubs alone, and the Bonita Bay Club's schedule is year-round. This is not a community where people disappear behind their doors.
Horizons sits in ZIP code 34134, the southern Bonita Springs ZIP that encompasses most of Bonita Bay. ZIP-wide data should be interpreted carefully when applied to Horizons specifically — the ZIP includes product ranging from coach homes under $600,000 to single-family estates well north of $10 million, and Horizons' 24-floor luxury tower trades in a fundamentally different tier than the ZIP-wide median.
With that context: the Southwest Florida luxury high-rise segment has normalized from the frenzied 2021–2022 pace. Pricing power shifted back toward buyers after years of seller dominance, and due-diligence timelines can again be respected. But Horizons is its own micro-market — only 80 units total, no new construction possible, and a buyer pool that self-selects for the specific product. The single most important fact about Horizons today is scarcity: there is no current inventory at all.
The most authoritative source for Horizons activity is the live MLS, filtered to the building itself. Over the trailing 12 months, the numbers were:
(Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
Two things in this data matter most to a buyer or seller. First, the wide spread between the $1,100,000 low and the $3,200,000 high is the clearest signal that Horizons does not trade as a single number. Floor elevation, exposure (west-facing Estero Bay and Gulf sunsets versus east-facing golf and preserve), square footage, and renovation level move a unit's value by hundreds of thousands of dollars. The median of $1,370,000 anchors the middle of the building; the average of $1,760,000 reflects the pull of the larger, higher, better-exposed residences — including penthouse-tier value — at the top of the range. The 93.1% average sale-to-list ratio and median 93 days on market describe a measured, negotiable market where correctly priced units transact and overpriced units sit.
Second — and this is the headline — there are zero active listings in Horizons right now. None. In a building of only 80 units, that is not unusual, but it is decisive: a buyer who wants in cannot simply browse and pick. There is nothing to pick from today. When the next Horizons residence does list, it will be a rare event, and the buyers who are positioned — pre-approved, represented by a team with direct access to owners, and ready to write — are the ones who will get it. The four trailing-12-month closings, from $1.1M to $3.2M, are the value anchor that tells you what those residences have actually been worth.
The combination of demonstrated recent values ($1.1M–$3.2M) and zero current inventory creates a specific kind of opportunity — and a specific kind of urgency. This is not a market where you have 200 listings to choose from and unlimited time to decide. It is a market where the right unit, in the right exposure, at the right floor, comes available infrequently and trades to the buyer who is ready. The cash-buyer advantage remains strong in this tier: Horizons buyers, many of whom are downsizing from large estate homes, frequently close cash, eliminating appraisal-contingency risk and giving them a meaningful edge when a unit finally lists.
Because there is no active inventory to compete over, the most valuable thing a buyer can do right now is establish a relationship with a team that monitors Horizons continuously and can surface off-market and pre-MLS opportunities. That is exactly the work we do.
If you want current Horizons listing alerts the moment a unit comes available, recent sold comps, or a specific unit's price history, call or text Jesse McGreevy at (239) 898-6072 or Marc Comisar at (239) 287-5873. We have access to the full MLS history for every unit in the building.
If you own at Horizons, the current picture is unusually favorable. There is no competing inventory in your building — zero other units for a buyer to consider. Demonstrated recent values run as high as $3,200,000, and the trailing-12-month median is $1,370,000. A correctly priced, well-presented Horizons unit listed into a zero-supply environment commands the full attention of every active Bonita Bay tower buyer. The floor premium and exposure premium are real and must be reflected in pricing — a lower-floor preserve-view unit cannot be priced like a high-floor Gulf-view residence — but the structural scarcity works directly in your favor. We cover the listing strategy in detail below.
Understanding who built Horizons is not trivia — it is the answer to "why does this building hold up so well at 25 years old, and why are its floor plans so much more generous than newer towers at comparable price points?"
Horizons at Bonita Bay was developed by The Lutgert Companies, a Naples-based luxury real estate development and construction firm founded in 1964. To understand Lutgert's pedigree, you need to know what they built first: Park Shore — the stretch of waterfront along Naples' Gulf shore that became the city's first planned unit development, the first PUD in the state of Florida. Lutgert didn't start with an ordinary project. They started by inventing a development format that the entire state would eventually adopt. (Source: lutgert.com/about/)
From Park Shore in Naples, Lutgert moved into master-planned communities and high-rise towers. They became the primary high-rise builder within Bonita Bay, developing six of the nine towers that now define the community's western skyline: Vistas (1998), Horizons (2000), Estancia (2002), Azure (2006), Esperia South (2007), and Tavira (2009). Beyond towers, Lutgert Companies developed Mercato in North Naples, The Village on Venetian Bay, and The Promenade at Bonita Bay — the mixed-use retail and dining district at the entry to the community. Their construction arm, Lutgert Construction, handled many of their own projects, meaning Lutgert often served as both developer and general contractor. (Source: lutgert.com/about/)
This lineage matters for Horizons buyers. When you are purchasing a 25-year-old building, the quality of the original construction determines what the building is worth maintaining. Lutgert built to luxury standards from the foundation to the penthouse. The reinforced concrete construction, the four-elevator core, the generous four-unit-per-floor layout, the lobby waterfall — these are not cost-cutting features. They are the choices of a developer who knew their buyer was not going to accept ordinary.
Alongside The Lutgert Companies, you will frequently see "Bonita Bay Group" mentioned in connection with the community. The two entities played entirely different roles, and the distinction matters.
Bonita Bay Group (Bonita Bay Properties, Inc., or BBPI) was the master community developer — the entity responsible for assembling the land, creating the master plan, building the infrastructure, developing the golf courses, marina, and community amenities, and selling parcels (including the tower land) to individual builders like Lutgert. The company was founded in 1979 when David Shakarian — the founder of General Nutrition Corporation (GNC) — began assembling more than 4,000 acres in Bonita Springs with a vision for a high-end, environmentally sensitive master-planned community. Shakarian died in 1984 before the community was complete; his son-in-law David Lucas, a Harvard MBA, took over as chairman and carried the development forward. The community opened for sales in 1985 and ultimately won the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Award for Excellence — one of the most prestigious honors in American land planning. (Source: phoenixbayventures.com/our-legacy/)
After the development phase concluded, Bonita Bay Group's successor became Phoenix Bay Ventures. Today, the master community is resident-controlled through the BBCA.
So when people say Horizons was "developed by Bonita Bay Group," they are describing the land context — Bonita Bay Group created the master community into which Horizons was built. When they say "developed by The Lutgert Companies," they are describing who built the tower, sold the individual units, and turned the building over to its condominium association. Both statements are correct and describe different layers of the same development ecosystem.
The Horizons at Bonita Bay Condominium Association, Inc. was incorporated with the Florida Division of Corporations on January 15, 1998 — approximately two years before the building's 2000 completion date. (Source: Florida Division of Corporations, Document Number N98000000226) This is the normal pattern for Florida condominium development: the developer files the condominium association entity and records the Declaration of Condominium before beginning presales, as required under Florida's Condominium Act (Chapter 718, Florida Statutes).
A significant governance update occurred on August 9, 2019, when the association filed Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation — modernizing the foundational governing documents approximately 19 years after developer turnover. The current board consists entirely of resident unit owners, all listing 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd as their address: President Samuel Smiley, Vice President Jay Henderson, Treasurer Norris Ray Hedding, and Secretary Joseph Michael Struna. The registered agent is Brittany Cowan, Esq. of Cowan Boyd, PLLC in Naples — a condominium and HOA law firm, indicating the association uses outside legal counsel for its registered agent function. (Source: Florida Division of Corporations annual report)
There is also a separate, inactive Florida corporation called Horizons at Bonita Bay, Inc. (Document Number P96000072190, Status: INACT), incorporated in 1996. This was the original developer entity — formed two years before the condominium association itself, consistent with the pre-sales and development timeline for the building.
Horizons is a 24-story reinforced concrete high-rise containing 80 residences distributed across 23 residential floors at exactly four units per floor — one of nine towers in Bonita Bay's western perimeter cluster. From the upper floors, the building reaches well above the tree canopy and the rooflines of Bonita Bay's single-family villages, delivering the unobstructed "skyscapes" that the Bonita Bay Community Association calls out as a defining feature: "From Bonita Bay's stately high-rises, enjoy luxurious golf course views, native vegetation, and colorful sunsets along the Estero Bay perimeter. Our enviable skyscapes are unmatched." (Source: bonitabayresidents.com)
The high-rise inventory in Bonita Bay is finite and fixed. With Omega (2022) completing the community's planned high-rise build-out, no additional towers are coming. When a Horizons unit sells, it is not replaced by new construction — it is replaced by another resale. Supply cannot expand, which is exactly why a current count of zero active listings is so meaningful.
At 80 units across 23 residential floors, the density is exactly four residences per floor — a true luxury floor plate, not a building crammed with investor units. This is among the lowest densities in the Bonita Bay tower portfolio (for comparison, Vistas runs five per floor and several other towers run six to eight). Lower density means larger units, more privacy, fewer neighbors sharing each elevator lobby, and the social intimacy of a boutique building rather than the anonymity of a 200-unit tower.
There are no studio units, no one-bedroom units, and no two-bedroom units in this building. Every home at Horizons is either a 3-bedroom-plus-den (standard floors) or a 4-bedroom-plus-den penthouse (top floor). Every home includes a family room in addition to the living room. Every home has a private terrace. This is not a building for buyers looking for an entry-level condominium.
The four standard floor plans are designated Residence 01, 02, 03, and 04, arranged around the building's elevator core with distinct primary orientations.
Residence 01
Residence 02
Residence 03
Residence 04
(Source: horizonsbonitabayfl.com/horizons-bonita-bay-floor-plans/)
Note on Residence 01: The floor plan documents confirm that Residence 01 is available in two configurations — a 2-bedroom / 4-bath option and a 3-bedroom option. The same footprint (3,493 SF interior + 986 SF terrace) can therefore be configured differently depending on how walls were originally built or subsequently modified. Buyers considering a Residence 01 unit should confirm which configuration is in place for their specific unit.
The smallest standard unit at Horizons (Residence 02 at 3,165 SF) is larger than the majority of single-family homes in Southwest Florida. The den functions as a private office, a fourth sleeping room for grandchildren, or a library. The separate family room — in addition to the living room — gives the unit a flow that feels more like a house than a condominium. Residence 04, at 3,733 SF interior plus 1,091 SF of private terrace, is the largest standard unit — a total of 4,824 usable square feet that is uncommon at any price point.
The top residential floor of Horizons contains exactly two units: Penthouse North and Penthouse South. These are not merely large condominiums — they are full-floor private estates measured in thousands of square feet that most single-family homes in Southwest Florida cannot match.
Penthouse North
Penthouse South
(Source: horizonsbonitabayfl.com/horizons-bonita-bay-floor-plans/)
The South Penthouse has marginally more terrace space (1,825 vs. 1,792 SF); the North Penthouse has marginally more interior (5,757 vs. 5,671 SF). The terraces on the penthouse level wrap around the full perimeter of the top floor, giving outdoor living space on multiple exposures — a feature that lower-floor units cannot replicate. The combined interior area of the two penthouses exceeds 11,400 square feet — equivalent to two full standard floors of the building. The $3,200,000 high sale in the trailing-12-month MLS data reflects exactly this top-of-building value tier.
Structural system: Reinforced cast-in-place concrete — the standard structural system for Florida Gulf Coast high-rise construction and the only practical system for a 24-floor building in a coastal high-wind environment.
Elevators: The building has 4 elevators — a ratio of one elevator per 20 units, one of the more generous elevator ratios in the Bonita Bay tower portfolio. Wait times are minimal, and moving large furniture or seasonal storage in and out (common in a seasonal-use building) is manageable.
Hurricane Ian context: Ian made landfall September 28, 2022, as a Category 4 hurricane near Fort Myers Beach — approximately 15 miles north of Horizons. Bonita Bay's high-rise towers experienced wind and, for lower elevations, some surge-related impacts. Horizons' specific post-Ian repair scope, any special assessment levied by the association for Ian-related building repairs, and the timeline of restoration are not confirmed from publicly available records — buyers should request this information directly from the seller (a required disclosure under Florida law) and from building management. We cover Hurricane Ian in detail in its own section below.
The name "Horizons" is a direct description of what the building's upper-floor west-facing residents see every evening. From Bonita Bay's western edge, the view corridor runs across Estero Bay — a coastal lagoon system protected by its barrier island chain — and to the Gulf of Mexico beyond. At sufficient elevation above the tree canopy, you see water in the foreground and open ocean on the horizon. Southwest Florida sunsets in this corridor are not merely colorful — they are architectural events that organize the evening around them.
The difference between a high-floor Gulf-view unit and a low-floor preserve-view unit at the same square footage is the single largest value variable in the building — easily a difference of more than $1,000,000 at the extremes, as the $1.1M-to-$3.2M trailing-12-month range makes clear.
At this elevation, the tree canopy drops away entirely. West-facing units look over Estero Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. On clear days — the majority of winter days in Bonita Springs — the horizon line is the Gulf. East-facing units at this height see the Arthur Hills golf courses, the native preserve slough, and the Bonita Bay community interior spreading to U.S. 41. Sunrise on the east is over inland Lee County; sunset on the west is over the Gulf. Both are extraordinary. These are the units that anchor the top of the building's value range.
The water view remains strong but the tree canopy begins to compete. West-facing units still see significant Estero Bay water; east-facing units see fairways and preserve. At this elevation the panoramic character of the view is intact — it is just slightly less open than the top third of the building.
Golf course and preserve views dominate. The tree canopy limits open-water views from west-facing units, though Estero Bay is typically still partially visible. Lower floors are priced accordingly. The lower-floor experience is quieter and more private in feel; buyers who prefer not to feel suspended over a view in all directions sometimes specifically seek lower floors. These units sit toward the lower end of the building's demonstrated value range.
360-degree exposure. The perimeter wrap terrace means you can walk from Gulf sunset views to golf course sunrise views without leaving your outdoor living space. At 5,700+ SF of interior plus 1,800 SF of wrap terrace, the penthouse experience at Horizons is as close to a mountaintop estate as Bonita Springs can offer.
The specific compass orientation of each unit number (which of the four positions — 01, 02, 03, 04 — faces which direction) should be verified against the condominium declaration's plat exhibits or a floor orientation diagram from the building management office. This determines which unit type captures the primary Gulf sunset view versus the golf course sunrise view, and it is one of the most important questions a buyer should ask before making an offer.
The Horizons building operates its own amenity package separate from and in addition to all BBCA and Club benefits. These are features funded by and available exclusively to Horizons residents.
The entry to Horizons features a 25-foot waterfall — one of the most distinctive architectural interior features in any Bonita Bay condominium building. This is not a modest lobby water feature; it is a statement element that creates an immediate sense of arrival and impresses guests and prospective buyers alike. No other tower in Bonita Bay has been described as having a comparable lobby feature.
Horizons maintains a full-time on-site property manager and provides concierge services to residents. The building management office is reachable at (239) 992-0725 / [email protected], and the resident portal is accessed through BuildingLink at buildinglink.com. The specific hours of concierge coverage — whether 24-hour staffed or limited daytime hours — should be confirmed with the association, as this affects the experience of out-of-season owners who need building access managed in their absence.
The pool at Horizons is a resort-style geothermal pool and spa positioned on the elevated plaza deck above the parking structure. Geothermal systems moderate the pool temperature in both directions — cooled in Southwest Florida's summer heat and warmed in the winter months — providing year-round swimming comfort that standard heated pools cannot match during July and August. Gas grills and poolside cabanas are also available on the deck.
The pool deck's position on the elevated concrete plaza (above the underground parking garage) is confirmed by structural engineering work documented by Karins Engineering Group (a Fort Myers structural engineering firm). Karins performed a significant plaza deck waterproofing restoration at Horizons involving complete removal of the deck's waterproofing membrane, replacement of the failing membrane system, replacement of expansion joints, and construction of a temporary access road behind the building to allow crane access for material staging. (Source: karins.com/case-studies/horizons-at-bonita-bay) This type of capital project — professionally engineered and properly completed — is exactly the kind of major maintenance that extends a building's life and protects the underlying structure from water damage. The date of this restoration is not publicly confirmed; buyers should request documentation of this work from the association during condo review to understand when it was completed and how it was funded (reserves vs. special assessment).
The building includes a well-equipped fitness room and separate massage rooms (plural) available to residents. For owners who are also Bonita Bay Club members, the Club's 20,000 sq ft Technogym-equipped Lifestyle Center and 9,000 sq ft spa are also available — but the building-level fitness and massage facilities mean that non-Club-member owners have on-site wellness options without additional membership costs.
The Horizons social room has been redesigned and updated in recent years. It features an impressive bar and multiple large-screen TVs and functions as a game room and gathering space for resident social events. The association organizes building-level social programming — a differentiator in a building this small, where the community of 80 units creates a more intimate residential social environment than larger towers.
Horizons has two guest suites available for resident reservation, described as being in or near the lobby area. Owners who want to host visiting family without putting guests in a hotel can reserve these suites at a per-night fee (specific rates and reservation procedures should be confirmed with the association). In a building with only 80 units, two dedicated guest suites is a generous ratio.
Standard units: 2 assigned spaces in the under-building enclosed garage, located near the elevator lobby for direct building access. Covered, secure, and convenient. Penthouse units: a dedicated 3-car enclosed private garage — a significant amenity differential that is rare even among Southwest Florida luxury towers. Guest parking is located at grade level outside the garage perimeter. Storage units associated with parking spaces are located in the under-building garage area, and bike storage is separately available to all residents. Specific dimensions and assignment methods should be confirmed with the association during condo document review.
The moment you purchase any property inside Bonita Bay — including a condo unit at Horizons — you automatically become a member of the Bonita Bay Community Association (BBCA). There is no application, no initiation fee, no separate vote. Membership is an automatic consequence of property ownership. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) None of the following requires a Bonita Bay Club membership.
BBCA headquarters: 3451 Bonita Bay Blvd., Suite 200, Bonita Springs, FL 34134. Phone: (239) 495-8111. Activities Department: Suite 100, (239) 390-5550.
All Bonita Bay entrances are staffed around the clock — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/community-association) This is genuine 24/7 manned security, not a camera-monitored gate. For Horizons owners, the building's own in-tower security (the access-controlled lobby and elevators) is backed by community-level gate staffing that screens all vehicle traffic before it reaches the building.
Estero Bay Park occupies 13 acres at the northwestern corner of Bonita Bay, directly on the waterway, on ground with significant archaeological and historical character — the land contains 5,000-year-old Native American shell mounds that pre-date European contact in Florida by millennia. The park features an 800-foot boardwalk through coastal mangroves ending at a private pier overlooking Estero Bay, a Monarch Waystation Butterfly Garden, nature trails, a screened pavilion, a playground, picnic areas with gas grills, and a pet water station.

Riverwalk Park runs along the Imperial River and now features a state-of-the-art bocce facility with outdoor pavilion, newly renovated pickleball and tennis courts, a basketball court, a boat ramp, a 5-station Parcourse fitness trail, kayak storage and launch, pet water stations, a playground, and picnic areas. The boat ramp gives residents without marina slips a public-access-style launch option inside the gates. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/the-parks-of-bonita-bay)
Spring Creek Park runs along Spring Creek at the northern border and includes kayak and canoe storage racks with a launch dock, a bocce court, a basketball hoop, a playground, a picnic area, a pet water station, nature trails, a gazebo, and an observation deck overlooking the creek.

The BBCA hosts more than 30 resident clubs open to all Bonita Bay property owners. The three largest sports clubs — the Bocce Club, the Pickleball Club, and the Bicycle Club — together have upwards of 1,000 members, making participation a community-scale phenomenon rather than a niche interest. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/resident-clubs) The roster extends well beyond sports: discussion groups, health study groups, arts groups, home-state clubs, and wellness groups. For seasonal owners who spend November through April in Bonita Bay, these clubs provide an instant social infrastructure.
Every Horizons owner benefits from 12 miles of maintained recreational paths for biking, jogging, and walking — one of the largest maintained-path networks of any gated community in Southwest Florida — plus community-wide Fiber-To-The-Home internet through Hotwire, and Audubon-certified grounds maintained to ecological standards. Bonita Bay is also the largest gated community in Southwest Florida to receive a Blue Zones Recognized Community designation — a certification tied to longevity, wellness, and community-design standards. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/style-of-living) The BBCA is additionally recognized as the first gated community in the United States to donate more than $1 million to United Way.
About half of Bonita Bay residents name the Private Beach Park as the community's single most popular amenity — above the golf courses, above the marina, above the parks. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach)
The beach is located on Little Hickory Island — a barrier island on the Gulf of Mexico, approximately 10 minutes from the Bonita Bay main gate. It is accessible exclusively to Bonita Bay property owners and their guests; access requires a BBCA membership card, and non-residents are not admitted. A seasonal shuttle service runs from inside the community during winter months (November through April), making the beach as easy to use as walking to your community pool.
This is not a club benefit. The Private Beach is owned and operated by the BBCA — not the Bonita Bay Club. Access is automatic with property ownership and funded through the BBCA master assessment. An owner who never purchases a Club membership still has full Private Beach access. This is one of the most underappreciated distinctions in Bonita Bay real estate: the most coveted amenity in the community costs nothing beyond the master HOA dues.
On September 28, 2022, Hurricane Ian made landfall near Fort Myers Beach as a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds and catastrophic storm surge. The Private Beach facility was in the direct path of Ian's coastal surge and sustained total destruction — the BBCA's own language is unambiguous: the beach was "totally destroyed by Hurricane Ian." (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach)
What the BBCA built in response was not a restoration — it was a rebuild materially superior to what existed before, engineered from the ground up for resilience. The new facility — which reopened on November 13 following the rebuild — features:
Director Garrett Stone, upon the reopening: "It is an honor to welcome our residents back to our beloved beach. Our team takes great pride in creating a place where everyone feels cared for and connected — a place that truly reflects the spirit of Bonita Bay." (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/private-beach)
The rebuilt facility is staffed morning to evening daily and includes picnic pavilions, gas grills, beach chairs and lounges, umbrellas, showers, restrooms with infant changing stations, private parking, and the beach itself for swimming, shelling, bird-watching, and fishing.
The $500 special assessment: At a board meeting on March 20, 2025, the BBCA approved a $500 per unit special assessment for the Private Beach rebuild — applicable to every owner within the Bonita Bay gates, including all Horizons residents. Payment was due June 30, 2025. (Source: wildpinesofbonitabay.com/highlights-from-the-march-20/) This is a community-level assessment, not a Horizons building-level assessment.
The Bonita Bay Club is a private member club operating independently within the Bonita Bay community. Membership is not mandatory for Horizons owners — you can purchase a unit, pay your condo fee and BBCA assessment, and never join the Club. Many owners do exactly that. But most Horizons owners who plan to use the community during the season ultimately add a Club membership, because the Club is what transforms the lifestyle from "very comfortable" to "extraordinary."
The Club holds multiple elite designations: Distinguished Club, Platinum Club of America, America's Healthiest Club, Grand Aurora Award, and notably, the designation as the first club in the country to be named "America's Greenest Club." (Source: thebrassie.com/bonita-bay-club-membership-cost/)
The Bonita Bay Club is a non-equity club. This matters for buyers comparing Bonita Bay to equity-structured private clubs in the region. In a non-equity club, initiation fees are non-refundable — they fund capital projects (course renovations, facility improvements) and do not represent a financial instrument that can be redeemed at resignation. You are purchasing a lifestyle benefit, not a financial asset.
This structure is common among the highest-quality private clubs in Southwest Florida and is not a negative. It means the Club's capital is not encumbered by refund obligations and can be invested directly into improvements — which is how Bonita Bay Club has funded a $30 million Golf Master Plan that transforms one course per year using operating revenues, with no special assessments to members.

The waiting list: The Bonita Bay Club currently maintains a waiting list — a rarity at a $150,000 initiation club, and a signal that current members are satisfied and staying, which is a more reliable quality indicator than any third-party rating. The general manager: Frederick Fung serves as both CEO and General Manager, having joined the Club in 2019. (Source: thebrassie.com/bonita-bay-club-membership-cost/) Club membership at resale: Whether an incoming Horizons buyer must purchase a new Club membership or can assume the seller's membership on transfer requires confirmation with the Club's membership office — a material question for buyers who want Club access on day one.
The Bonita Bay Club operates 54 holes of championship golf across two physically separate campuses — unusual even among top-tier Southwest Florida private clubs.
West Campus (inside Bonita Bay, Bonita Springs): Three courses designed by Arthur Hills — Bay Island, Marsh, and Creekside. The West Campus courses are within walking or golf-cart distance of Horizons. The West Campus is a certified Audubon Sanctuary, and ongoing renovation work is being handled by Hills-Forrest-Smith, the successor firm to Arthur Hills.
East Campus (Naples, approximately 15 minutes east via I-75): Two courses designed by Tom Fazio — Cypress and Sabal. Sabal is currently under renovation by Fazio Design, led by Tom Marzolf, who was part of the original Fazio team that built the course in the late 1990s. (Source: golfcoursearchitecture.net/content/fazio-design-begins-sabal-renovation-at-bonita-bay-club) One Golf Membership covers all 54 holes across both campuses.

The Bonita Bay Marina was created by a group of resident investors and operates as a semi-private full-service marina accessible to all Bonita Bay residents and their guests — not restricted to Club members. It sits on the Imperial River at the southern edge of the community, with direct navigable water access to Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico beyond.

Buyers with deep-draft vessels should confirm their boat's draft before assuming wet-slip availability.

Understanding the complete cost of ownership at Horizons requires accounting for several separate financial obligations: the Horizons sub-HOA condo fee, the BBCA master assessment, property taxes, and unit-owner insurance. Club membership is an additional optional obligation. Each of these is separate; none rolls into the others.
Based on MLS listing disclosure records for units at 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd, the Horizons condominium association fee is approximately $9,172 per quarter — equivalent to approximately $3,057 per month or $36,688 per year. (Source: homes.com building record for Horizons at Bonita Bay; MLS aggregation data)
This fee covers: cable television, building hazard insurance (the master policy covering the structure), irrigation water, lawn and land maintenance (common areas), legal and accounting fees, on-site property manager, reserve fund contributions, sewer, street lighting, street maintenance, trash removal, and domestic water for units. Electricity is not included and is separately metered and billed to each unit owner.
Note on fee variation: Condo fees are assessed on a pro-rata share basis tied to unit square footage or a percentage-of-whole formula in the Declaration. A penthouse unit (5,700+ SF) carries a proportionally higher assessment than a standard unit (3,165–3,733 SF). Buyers should request the specific unit's assessment amount from the association's estoppel letter during due diligence.
Every Horizons owner also pays a separate annual BBCA master assessment. The most recently published figure (2014) was $2,133/year for condo units. Given community-wide cost increases and post-Ian infrastructure rebuilds, current estimates for the BBCA annual condo assessment range from approximately $3,000 to $6,000 per year. The exact current figure is available to residents through the BBCA portal; prospective buyers should request it from the seller's disclosure or the HOA estoppel. The BBCA master assessment is typically billed quarterly in addition to the building condo fee.
Bonita Bay does not have a Community Development District (CDD). There is no special-district levy on Horizons property tax bills — a meaningful distinction from some other Southwest Florida master-planned communities where CDD assessments add hundreds of dollars per month to total carrying costs. To confirm the absence of any special district assessment on your specific unit, review the TRIM (Truth in Millage) notice from the Lee County Tax Collector (leetc.com), which itemizes all assessments by parcel.
Effective January 1, 2024, the BBCA replaced its prior flat $1,500 Resale Reserve Assessment with a market-value-based capital contribution: 0.5% of the gross selling price, capped at $10,000. This fee is paid by the buyer at closing. For a Horizons purchase above $2 million (which covers most market activity at Horizons), the buyer pays the $10,000 cap; for a $1.37M purchase, approximately $6,850. (Source: bonitabayvotes.com) This is a closing cost, not an ongoing fee.
For Golf Members: estimated $19,500/year ($1,625/month). For Sports Members: estimated $10,110/year ($843/month). These are not required. But for buyers who intend to join the Club, these dues must be factored into the total monthly cost of ownership.
For a representative mid-floor Horizons unit (approximately 3,200–3,500 SF, purchased near the $1,370,000 trailing-12-month median):
| Cost Component | Estimated Monthly | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Horizons sub-HOA condo fee | ~$3,057 | Based on $9,172/quarter |
| BBCA master assessment | ~$250–$500 | 2025 figure not publicly confirmed |
| Property taxes | ~$1,200–$2,500 | Based on purchase price and exemptions |
| HO-6 unit owner insurance | ~$200–$500 | Interior finishes, improvements, contents, loss assessment |
| Electricity | ~$150–$350 | Separately metered |
| Estimated total | ~$4,850–$6,900/month | Excluding Club membership |
The honest framing: Horizons is not a low-carrying-cost property. High-rise towers in master-planned communities with full amenity packages have layered fees that reflect the value of those amenities and the cost of maintaining a 24-floor concrete building. Buyers should request all fee schedules, review the current reserve study, and confirm SIRS compliance status before closing.
On March 20, 2025, the BBCA Board approved a $500 per unit special assessment payable by every property owner within the Bonita Bay gates — including all Horizons owners — for reconstruction of the Private Beach facility destroyed by Hurricane Ian. Payment was due June 30, 2025. (Source: wildpinesofbonitabay.com/highlights-from-the-march-20/) This was a BBCA-level community assessment, not a Horizons building-level assessment.
No publicly available records of a Horizons sub-association special assessment were located in this research. The association's internal financial records — special assessment resolutions and meeting minutes — are not publicly indexed. Under Florida Statute §718.503, sellers must provide buyers with the most recent year-end financial statements, current budget, and Q&A Sheet. Buyers should request a complete special assessment history as part of the HOA estoppel package and ask specifically:
The June 2021 collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Florida — which killed 98 people — fundamentally changed Florida condominium law for buildings three or more stories tall. As a 25-year-old high-rise, Horizons is directly affected by two of these requirements — and the news for buyers is unusually good.
Florida law requires condominium buildings 3+ stories and 30+ years old to complete a milestone structural inspection. Horizons was built in 2000 and doesn't turn 30 until 2030 — meaning the inspection isn't statutorily required until approximately 2030. The association completed it anyway in 2024. The document — "Horizons at Bonita Bay – Milestone Report 2024 – S&S.pdf" (S&S designates the engineering firm) — is available in the building's Google Drive. Completing the milestone inspection six years ahead of the statutory deadline is an unambiguous signal of board quality: the board commissioned an independent structural engineering evaluation voluntarily, documented the findings, and made the report available. (Source: Horizons Drive — Structural Reports folder)
For buyers, this means one of the most anxiety-inducing unknowns in Florida high-rise due diligence is resolved before you even make an offer.
The Horizons association has completed its SIRS. The final signed document — "Horizons at Bonita Bay – SIRS – FINAL (Rev. 5) – SIGNED" — is available via Google Drive. "Rev. 5" indicates the study went through multiple review cycles before board approval — a thoroughness signal, not a concern. "SIGNED" means the board has formally adopted it, triggering the mandatory reserve funding requirement that took effect January 1, 2026. (Source: Horizons Drive — Structural Reports folder)
This is one of the cleanest pieces of due-diligence documentation a Horizons buyer can receive. Most Florida high-rise buyers in 2026 are purchasing into uncertainty about whether their target building's SIRS is done, what it found, and how it will affect fees. At Horizons, the answer is: done, available, adopted by the board. Request it as part of your condominium documents package and review the per-component reserve contribution schedules carefully — the 2026 Approved Budget (also in Drive) should already reflect the new SIRS-compliant reserve levels.
Hurricane Ian made landfall near Fort Myers Beach on September 28, 2022, as a Category 4 storm with sustained winds near 150 miles per hour — approximately 15 miles north of Bonita Bay's main entrance. The storm's track meant Bonita Bay, positioned south and east of the landfall point, experienced significant but not catastrophic impacts: strong wind loading and Estero Bay storm surge that varied in severity by elevation and exposure.
What is confirmed at the community level:
What is not confirmed in public records for Horizons specifically:
Given the building's Estero Bay-adjacent position, the question of Ian's impact at Horizons is a material due diligence item. Buyers should specifically request: HOA meeting minutes from October 2022 through December 2023 for any Ian-related repair discussion or assessment votes; Lee County permit records at 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd post-September 2022 (leepa.org); and the special assessment history from the HOA estoppel certificate.
Hurricanes Helene and Milton (September/October 2024): A second round of major storms hit Southwest Florida in fall 2024. No Horizons-specific damage records from either Helene or Milton were located in public records during this research. This does not confirm no damage occurred — it confirms no public record was found. The same due diligence questions apply.
Horizons at Bonita Bay, based on its location at 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd adjacent to Estero Bay, is situated in FEMA Flood Zone VE — the coastal high-hazard zone, applicable to areas subject to flooding with wave action. (Source: Florida Parcels property records) Zone VE is distinct from Zone AE, which is a riverine or still-water 100-year flood zone without the wave component. The specific FIRM panel and Base Flood Elevation for the Horizons parcel should be confirmed at the FEMA Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov), searching by address: 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd, Bonita Springs, FL 34134.
Practical impact for buyers:
Bonita Springs participates in FEMA's Community Rating System (CRS) and, as of November 2024, retained its CRS Class 5 rating, which translates to a 25% discount on all NFIP flood insurance premiums for properties within the city's jurisdiction. (Source: cityofbonitasprings.org; Lee County CRS confirmation 2024) This is a meaningful ongoing savings — potentially thousands of dollars annually depending on coverage levels.
Hurricane Ian triggered a broader restructuring of the Southwest Florida property insurance market that continues to affect all properties in the region. National carriers that previously offered competitive private-market coverage have largely exited the Florida coastal market; remaining coverage is available through Citizens Property Insurance (the state-backed insurer of last resort) and a reduced pool of private carriers at higher premiums.
For Horizons buyers, the relevant considerations are: the association master policy (covering exterior/structure, included in the condo fee — ask for the current certificate of insurance and premium); wind mitigation credits (if the building has impact-resistant glass, a wind mitigation inspection may qualify for premium credits — the specific impact-glass status of Horizons should be verified with the association); the individual HO-6 policy (covering interior finishes, improvements, contents, and importantly "loss assessment" coverage that protects against your share of any uninsured-loss special assessment); and flood insurance (covered by the building-level association policy for structure, with individual coverage through NFIP or private flood markets).
Here is the single most telling data point about Horizons as a rental market: over the trailing 12 months there were zero MLS rental listings and zero recorded leases for the building (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). That is not a data gap — it is the market. Horizons owners do not lease their units, and the building's rental rules (a 30-day minimum and a cap of 3 leases per year) are designed to keep it that way. There is no demonstrated current rental rate to quote, because no rental inventory currently exists.
For a buyer, the practical takeaway is clear: Horizons is bought to be lived in or used seasonally — not as an income property. If you are buying here, plan to be an owner-occupant or snowbird who uses the residence personally; if you are selling here, your buyer pool is almost entirely primary-residence and seasonal owners, not investors. The layered carrying costs (sub-HOA, BBCA assessment, taxes, insurance) and the rental restrictions make the investor math unattractive regardless, and the complete absence of rental activity confirms that owners simply do not list their units for lease.
For owners who do want light seasonal use covered, full-service property management is available through the Bonita Bay community and several local luxury-condo managers, who handle tenant screening, association approval, turnover, and seasonal scheduling. Any lease at Horizons must comply with the association's rental rules, detailed below.
Horizons permits rentals subject to the following confirmed restrictions:
Additional rental provisions that should be confirmed from the Rules and Regulations and Declaration of Condominium: whether the HOA has a right-of-first-refusal on leases; whether board approval of tenants is required; whether a rental cap applies (a maximum percentage of units that can be rented simultaneously); and what background-check requirements apply to tenants.
Horizons at Bonita Bay permits pets. The confirmed policy is up to 2 dogs or 2 cats per unit, subject to board approval. Specific details that require confirmation from the association's Rules and Regulations include weight limits, prohibited breeds, registration requirements, guest pet policy, leash rules in common areas, and designated pet-relief areas.
Legal note: Under the Fair Housing Act and the Americans with Disabilities Act, properly documented emotional support animals and service animals are legally protected regardless of any pet policy restrictions. The association cannot deny reasonable accommodations for these animals. To confirm the specific pet policy, request the Rules and Regulations from the seller during the inspection period.
Horizons is in Lee County — not in any municipality with its own school district. The Lee County School District assigns schools by address. The public schools serving the 34134 ZIP code include Estero High School (high school), with Bonita Springs and Estero-area middle and elementary schools per current zoning. School boundary assignments should be confirmed at leeschools.net using the "School Finder" tool with the specific address (4731 Bonita Bay Blvd), as boundaries can change with enrollment redistricting.
The Bonita Springs, Estero, and Naples area has a strong private school ecosystem within a 10- to 25-minute drive, including several nationally accredited K-12 schools. Most Horizons buyers are in the lifestyle and second-home demographic where school-zone assignment is a lower-priority consideration — but for primary residents with school-age children, the proximity of Estero High School and Lee County's newer school campuses in this growth corridor are genuine assets.
Security and gate access: All Bonita Bay gate entrances are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Residents receive transponders or access cards; guests are cleared at the gate. The building's in-tower access control provides a second layer of security specific to Horizons.
Parking: Standard units have 2 assigned under-building spaces near the elevator lobby; penthouses have a 3-car enclosed private garage. Guest parking is at grade level. Moving trucks and deliveries follow building management protocols; elevator protection pads during moves are standard.
EV charging: The building was constructed in 2000, predating widespread EV adoption, so original EV charging infrastructure was not installed. Under Florida Statute 718.113(5), unit owners have the right to install EV charging stations in their designated parking spaces, subject to association approval. Contact the association to understand the current EV charging approval process and whether any shared community chargers have been installed.
Building management: Professionally managed by Gulf Breeze Management Services of SW Florida. Resident services — package tracking, maintenance requests, amenity reservations, visitor management — are accessed through the BuildingLink platform at buildinglink.com. The building office is reachable at (239) 992-0725 or [email protected].
Internet and cable: Hotwire fiber is the community-wide broadband provider for Bonita Bay, included as part of the BBCA infrastructure. The building's cable TV bundle (included in the condo fee) may include basic internet service; confirm the specific cable/internet package terms with the association.
Community contacts: Horizons Building Office (239) 992-0725 / [email protected]; BBCA Main Office 3451 Bonita Bay Blvd., Suite 200 / (239) 495-8111; BBCA Activities Suite 100 / (239) 390-5550; Bonita Bay Marina (239) 495-3222 / VHF Channel 72.
Bonita Bay's location in Bonita Springs places it midway between Naples and Fort Myers on U.S. 41 — exceptionally well-located for everyday convenience.
| Destination | Drive Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coconut Point Mall (Estero) | ~5–12 minutes | 150+ stores, restaurants, cinema, specialty shops |
| Miromar Outlets (Estero) | ~10–15 minutes | Premium outlet shopping; 140+ stores |
| Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) | ~20–25 minutes | Direct flights to most U.S. hubs; seasonal snowbird gateway |
| Old Naples (5th Avenue South) | ~25 minutes | Fine dining, galleries, boutique shopping, Naples beachfront |
| Mercato (North Naples) | ~20 minutes | Whole Foods, premier dining, entertainment |
| Bonita Beach (public) | ~10 minutes | Gulf beach access outside the Private Beach |
| Lee Health — Gulf Coast Medical Center | ~20 minutes | Level II trauma center |
| NCH Baker Hospital (Naples) | ~25 minutes | Regional health system; cardiac and cancer centers |
| Lovers Key State Park | ~15 minutes | Gulf-front kayak launch, wildlife preserve, beach access |
Drive times are approximate, non-peak conditions. Seasonal traffic on the US-41 corridor can add 10–20 minutes during the January–March peak.
The combination of RSW Airport at roughly 20–25 minutes, two premier shopping destinations within 15 minutes, and downtown Naples' restaurant row at 25 minutes makes Horizons genuinely convenient — residents do not give up accessibility for the lifestyle inside the gates. Groceries, healthcare, pharmacies, and everyday services are concentrated along the Coconut Road and U.S. 41 corridor within 5–10 minutes of the gate.
We do not write marketing copy at McGreevy and Comisar. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we have represented buyers and sellers throughout Bonita Bay — and we would rather you make the right decision than the fast one. Here is an honest assessment.
Floor plans that most new construction cannot match at this price point. Horizons' four standard floor plans range from 3,165 to 3,733 SF, and the two penthouses exceed 5,600 SF. Finding a true 3-bedroom-plus-den with a family room, private terrace, and full air-conditioned living area above 3,100 SF in the demonstrated $1.1M–$3.2M value range is increasingly rare in this market.
Scarcity is working in the buyer's and seller's favor in different ways. With zero active listings and only 80 units total, Horizons is genuinely tightly held. For a seller, that means no in-building competition. For a buyer, it means the right unit is a rare find worth being positioned for in advance.
Best-in-class due-diligence documentation. The 2024 milestone inspection (completed six years early) and the final, signed SIRS (Rev. 5) resolve the two questions that most worry Florida high-rise buyers in 2026. Most buildings cannot say the same.
The master community is irreplaceable. Bonita Bay's 2,400-acre footprint, preserved open space, 54 holes of golf, marina, rebuilt Private Beach, three community parks, and 12 miles of trails cannot be replicated — land at this scale is no longer available in Bonita Springs.
The four-per-floor layout creates genuine residential privacy. Only four units per floor, with narrower corridors, fewer neighbors per elevator lobby, and the social intimacy of a boutique building rather than the anonymity of a 200-unit tower.
The 25-foot waterfall lobby is a genuine arrival moment — one of the most distinctive interior architectural features in any Southwest Florida high-rise.
The view premium is real and permanent. Estero Bay and the Gulf are not going anywhere — upper-floor westward views at Horizons will be as good in 2045 as they are today.
The building is 25 years old. Not disqualifying — but it brings specific obligations: SIRS-compliant reserve funding began in 2026, mechanical systems (HVAC, plumbing, elevators) are mid-to-late in their lifecycle, and the Karins plaza-deck restoration shows that concrete-envelope maintenance is real and ongoing.
Zone VE flood designation is a material factor. Zone VE is the most significant FEMA coastal flood classification. Financed buyers must carry flood insurance, and the insurance cost is a legitimate consideration. The 25% CRS discount and the elevated living floors help, but the designation is real.
The fees are layered. Sub-HOA, BBCA assessment, optional Club dues — the total monthly cost of ownership is a real number that buyers must calculate with actual data. Request all fee schedules before writing an offer.
The value range is wide and floor-dependent. The spread from $1.1M to $3.2M means a high-floor purchase has limited in-building comps when no other units are listed — financed upper-floor buyers should discuss appraisal strategy with their lender early.
Hurricane Ian's building-specific history is not fully confirmed in public records. Whether the association levied a building-level Ian assessment must be confirmed from the seller's financial disclosures.
The Club is expensive if you want golf (estimated $150,000 initiation, $19,500/year) and carries a waiting list, so immediate Golf access is not guaranteed at closing.
If Horizons is on your shortlist, these buildings also warrant serious consideration. All nine Bonita Bay towers share the same master-community benefit stack — the BBCA parks, the Private Beach, marina access, 12 miles of trails, 24/7 security, fiber internet, 30+ resident clubs, and access to the optional Bonita Bay Club.
Vistas (4751 Bonita Bay Blvd, 1998) — The direct predecessor in the Lutgert sequence, immediately north of Horizons. Vistas has 98 units to Horizons' 80, with five units per floor rather than four — meaning somewhat more compact floor plans. Both buildings were designed by the same developer to the same generation's luxury standard, and both trade in similar price tiers. The most directly comparable alternative in the same block.
Estancia (4931 Bonita Bay Blvd, 2002) — Two years newer than Horizons, with slightly newer mechanical systems and design refinements carried forward. Typically priced between Horizons and the newer Azure and Esperia buildings — a natural middle-generation comparison.
Azure (4971 Bonita Bay Blvd, 2006) and Esperia South (4991 Bonita Bay Blvd, 2007) — Newer Lutgert towers built under the post-2004 Florida Building Code (mandatory impact glass, 170+ mph wind-load design). They command a meaningful $/SF premium over Horizons given their newer vintage. For buyers who can budget the premium, the 6–7 year age advantage is meaningful in building-systems terms; for those who cannot, Horizons offers a lower entry point with the identical community benefit stack.
Tavira (4851 Bonita Bay Blvd, 2009) — The prestige reference point in the portfolio and the newest Lutgert tower. Over the trailing 12 months Tavira closed at a median sold price of $2,200,000 (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, TAVIRA subdivision filter, pulled June 2026), reflecting its four-units-per-floor density, larger floor plates, and premium finishes. Tavira commands a premium over Horizons; for buyers whose budget makes Tavira pricing prohibitive, Horizons offers much of the same lifestyle at a materially lower entry point.
Seaglass and Omega (2018 / 2022) — The two newest additions, developed by the Ronto Group rather than Lutgert, representing a full generation of design and construction advancement. They command the highest $/SF in the Bonita Bay tower market. Buyers with the budget for Seaglass or Omega are typically buying the newest construction available; buyers who want an established tower with a known track record at relative value choose Horizons.
If you are searching for a Horizons at Bonita Bay listing agent — or wondering what your unit is worth in a market with no comparable inventory currently listed — you are in the right place.
Selling a high-rise condo in a gated master community with layered HOA structures, a volatile insurance market, and a pronounced floor-and-exposure premium is a different exercise than selling a single-family home. The variables that matter most — your exact floor, your unit number, your view exposure, your renovation level, your association's financial health, and how buyers will perceive the building's Ian history — require a listing strategy built around this specific building. And right now, you have a structural advantage most sellers never get: zero competing inventory in your building.
Over the trailing 12 months, Horizons recorded 4 closed sales at a median sold price of $1,370,000 and an average of $1,760,000, ranging from $1,100,000 to $3,200,000, with sellers achieving an average 93.1% of list price in a median 93 days on market. There are currently zero active listings in the building — meaning a well-prepared unit listed today faces no in-building competition. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.) West-facing exposure, upper floors, the wrap-terrace penthouses, and recently renovated finishes each add materially to the baseline. Your specific unit — with its specific floor, exposure, condition, and finish level — may trade at a very different number than the median.
The only way to know what your unit is worth today is to analyze it as itself, not as a ZIP-code average.
Call or text Jesse directly at (239) 898-6072 for a candid conversation about what your unit would sell for in the current market, what preparation steps would maximize its price, and what the timeline looks like. Our office is at 24031 S. Tamiami Trail, Suite 101, Bonita Springs, FL 34135.
The fee and document disclosure package matters more than most sellers realize. Buyers of luxury Florida high-rise condos are now sophisticated about SIRS requirements, reserve fund health, and Ian-related assessment history. Horizons has a real advantage here — the SIRS (Rev. 5, signed) and the 2024 milestone report are done and available. Before going to market, gather these alongside the current budget, the most recent financial statement, and any special-assessment records. Having them ready shortens contract timelines and reduces rescission risk.
View premium marketing requires video, not just photos. A west-facing sunset video from a high-floor living room at dusk — Gulf horizon past the barrier islands, light moving across Estero Bay — is the asset that sells Horizons units to out-of-state buyers before they visit. We produce this content for every listing.
Mini-FAQ: Seller Edition
What is my Horizons unit worth? It depends on floor, exposure, square footage, renovation level, and current market conditions. Call (239) 898-6072 for a property-specific analysis.
How long will it take to sell? Over the trailing 12 months, the median days on market for closed Horizons sales was 93 days (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). With zero competing inventory, a well-priced unit in a premium exposure can move faster.
Do I need to complete the SIRS before listing? The Horizons SIRS is already done, signed, and available — a real selling advantage. Provide it to buyers on day one.

How many floors does Horizons have? Horizons is a 24-story high-rise condominium tower with 23 residential floors, making it one of the taller structures along Bonita Bay's western perimeter. From the upper floors, the building reaches well above the tree canopy, providing the unobstructed Estero Bay and Gulf views that the building's name references.
How many units are in Horizons? 80 total units. The building has 23 residential floors with exactly four units per floor (Residences 01, 02, 03, and 04), plus two penthouses (North and South) on the top floor. This is among the lowest-density layouts in the Bonita Bay tower portfolio. (Source: horizonsbonitabayfl.com)
What is the address of Horizons? 4731 Bonita Bay Boulevard, Bonita Springs, Florida 34134. A secondary address of 4701 Bonita Bay Blvd appears on some business directories and is a data error propagated through listing aggregators. For all official correspondence and navigation, 4731 is correct. (Source: horizonsbonitabay.com)
Who built Horizons? The Horizons tower was built by The Lutgert Companies, a Naples-based luxury developer founded in 1964. Lutgert developed six of the nine towers in Bonita Bay. The Bonita Bay Group was the master community developer responsible for the land, infrastructure, golf courses, and marina — a different role from Lutgert, who built the tower and sold the individual units. (Source: lutgert.com/about/)
When was Horizons built? Horizons was completed and units delivered in 2000. The building is currently 25 years old, placing it in the middle of the Bonita Bay high-rise development sequence (after Vistas in 1998 and before Estancia in 2002).
Is Horizons a concrete building? Yes. Horizons is a cast-in-place reinforced concrete high-rise — the standard structural system for Florida Gulf Coast high-rise construction and the only practical system for a 24-floor building in a coastal high-wind environment.
How many elevators does Horizons have? Four elevators. At one elevator per 20 units, Horizons has one of the more generous elevator ratios in the Bonita Bay tower portfolio.
What is the lobby like at Horizons? The Horizons lobby features a 25-foot waterfall as its signature architectural element — one of the most distinctive lobby features in any Bonita Bay high-rise. The lobby also includes the concierge desk and access to the two guest suites.
Does Horizons have a concierge? Yes. The building provides concierge services and a full-time on-site property manager. Specific concierge hours should be confirmed with the association. The management office is reachable at (239) 992-0725 / [email protected].
How many units have sold at Horizons in the last 12 months? 4 units closed at Horizons over the trailing 12 months, totaling $7,040,000 in volume at a median sold price of $1,370,000 (average $1,760,000; range $1,100,000 to $3,200,000), on a median 93 days on market and an average 93.1% of list price. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
How many units are currently for sale at Horizons? Zero. As of the June 2026 MLS pull, there are no active listings in Horizons and no active rentals. In an 80-unit building this is not unusual, but it means a buyer must be positioned to act the moment a unit lists. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
What do Horizons units typically sell for? Over the trailing 12 months the median sold price was $1,370,000, with closings spanning $1,100,000 to $3,200,000 — a wide band reflecting differences in floor, exposure, square footage, and renovation level. West-facing exposures, upper floors, and the wrap-terrace penthouses command premiums above the median. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
Why is there such a large price range within the same building? The floor-and-exposure premium at Horizons is one of the most dramatic within-building spreads in the Bonita Bay portfolio. Lower floors face tree canopy and limited bay visibility; upper floors see open Estero Bay and Gulf views; the two penthouses anchor the top of the range. When comparing Horizons prices, always compare floor-to-floor for the same unit type.
How long are Horizons units typically on the market? The median days on market for the trailing-12-month closed sales was 93 days (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). With zero current competing inventory, a correctly priced unit in a premium exposure can move faster.
What floor plan types are available at Horizons? Horizons has six distinct floor plans: Residence 01 (3BR+Den / 4BA / 3,493 SF + 986 SF terrace), Residence 02 (3BR+Den / 3.5BA / 3,165 SF + 881 SF terrace), Residence 03 (3BR+Den / 4BA / 3,417 SF + 652 SF terrace), Residence 04 (3BR+Den / 3.5BA / 3,733 SF + 1,091 SF terrace), Penthouse North (4BR+Den / 4.5BA / 5,757 SF + 1,792 SF terrace), and Penthouse South (4BR+Den / 4.5BA / 5,671 SF + 1,825 SF terrace). There are no studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom units. (Source: horizonsbonitabayfl.com/horizons-bonita-bay-floor-plans/)
What are the views like at Horizons? Views depend heavily on floor level and unit orientation. Upper floors (roughly 15th–23rd) on the west-facing side see Estero Bay and the Gulf on the horizon; east-facing upper-floor units overlook the golf courses and preserve. Lower floors (2nd–7th) tend toward golf-course and preserve views with Estero Bay partially visible through the tree canopy.
What parking comes with a Horizons unit? Standard units come with 2 assigned under-building parking spaces near the elevator lobby. Penthouses come with a 3-car enclosed private garage. Guest parking exists at grade level.
Does Horizons have a pool? Yes. The building has a resort-style geothermal pool and spa positioned on the elevated concrete plaza deck above the parking garage. The geothermal system moderates pool temperature in both directions for year-round comfort. Gas grills and poolside cabanas are also available.
Is there a fitness center at Horizons? Yes. The building includes a fitness room and separate massage rooms for residents. Horizons owners who are also Bonita Bay Club members additionally access the Club's 20,000 sq ft Lifestyle Center.
Does Horizons have guest suites? Yes. Two guest suites are available in the lobby area for residents to reserve when hosting visiting family or friends. Specific nightly rates and reservation procedures should be confirmed with the association.
What are the HOA fees at Horizons? The Horizons sub-HOA condo fee is approximately $9,172 per quarter (~$3,057/month, ~$36,688/year), based on MLS listing disclosure records. This covers water, sewer, cable TV, building hazard insurance, trash, reserves, on-site manager, common-area maintenance, and street lighting. Every owner also pays a separate BBCA master assessment. (Source: homes.com building record; MLS aggregation data)
Is there a CDD assessment at Horizons? No. Bonita Bay has no Community Development District. There is no CDD levy on Horizons property tax bills.
What is the BBCA resale capital contribution fee? Effective January 1, 2024, the BBCA charges a resale capital contribution of 0.5% of the gross purchase price, capped at $10,000, paid by the buyer at closing. For most Horizons transactions, the buyer pays at or near the cap. (Source: bonitabayvotes.com)
Do I have to join the Bonita Bay Club when I buy at Horizons? No. Club membership is entirely optional. Many Horizons owners use the beach, parks, marina, and paths without joining the Club.
What is the Bonita Bay Club initiation fee? Golf Membership is approximately $150,000 (non-refundable); Sports Membership is approximately $60,000 (non-refundable). Verify current figures with the Club Membership Office before relying on these numbers. (Source: thebrassie.com/bonita-bay-club-membership-cost/)
Has Horizons completed its Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS)? Yes — confirmed. The completed, signed SIRS ("FINAL (Rev. 5) – SIGNED") is available in the building's Google Drive. This is one of the most buyer-friendly disclosures a Florida high-rise can offer: the reserve study is done, final, and board-adopted, with the new funding levels effective January 1, 2026. (Source: Horizons Drive — Structural Reports folder)
Has Horizons completed its milestone structural inspection? Yes — in 2024, six years ahead of the 2030 statutory deadline. The "Milestone Report 2024 – S&S.pdf" is available in the Drive. Completing it proactively signals a financially responsible, forward-looking board. (Source: Horizons Drive — Structural Reports folder)
Was Horizons damaged by Hurricane Ian? Bonita Bay's high-rise towers experienced wind and surge-related impacts from Ian (September 28, 2022). Horizons' specific damage scope cannot be confirmed from publicly available records. Request the seller's Ian disclosure and review the association's post-Ian meeting minutes and financial statements during due diligence.
Did Horizons have a special assessment for Hurricane Ian? At the community (BBCA) level, yes — a $500 per-unit assessment for the Private Beach rebuild, approved March 2025. At the Horizons building level, no special assessment was found in public records; confirm directly with the association.
What FEMA flood zone is Horizons in? FEMA Flood Zone VE — the coastal high-hazard zone. Buyers using federally-backed mortgage financing must carry flood insurance. Confirm the specific FIRM panel and Base Flood Elevation at FEMA's Map Service Center (msc.fema.gov), searching by 4731 Bonita Bay Blvd. (Source: Florida Parcels property records)
Is there a flood insurance discount available for Horizons? Yes. Bonita Springs maintains a FEMA Community Rating System (CRS) Class 5 rating (as of November 2024), which translates to a 25% discount on all NFIP flood insurance premiums for policyholders within the city.
Can non-Club-members access the Bonita Bay Marina? Yes. The marina is accessible to all Bonita Bay residents and their guests, not restricted to Club members. Backwater Jacks restaurant at the marina is also open to all residents.
What is the maximum boat size at the Bonita Bay Marina? The hard maximum is a 36-inch draft, established by the marina's permitting agreement and non-negotiable. Dry storage accommodates boats up to 36 feet; wet slips accommodate vessels up to 16,000 pounds. Buyers with larger-draft vessels should confirm compatibility before assuming marina access.
Does Horizons access the Bonita Bay Private Beach? Yes. The Private Beach on Little Hickory Island is a BBCA benefit — free to all Bonita Bay property owners regardless of Club membership. Horizons owners access it with their BBCA membership card. A seasonal shuttle runs during winter months. The beach was destroyed by Hurricane Ian and fully rebuilt with hurricane-hardened construction.
Is Horizons a full-time or seasonal building? Both, skewing seasonal. The majority of residents arrive in November and depart by late April. Peak season runs December through March. Off-season (May–October), the building is quieter. For owner-occupants who plan to use the unit year-round, the off-season quietness is often appreciated.
Are there age restrictions at Horizons? No. Horizons is an all-ages building, as are the vast majority of Bonita Bay high-rise towers.
Are short-term rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) permitted at Horizons? No. The minimum lease term is 30 days and the maximum is 3 leases per year, specifically designed to prevent short-term vacation rental use.
Does Horizons allow pets? Yes — up to 2 dogs or 2 cats per unit, subject to board approval. Specific weight limits, breed restrictions, and registration requirements are in the Rules and Regulations — request these during your condo document review.
What is the Blue Zones designation at Bonita Bay? Bonita Bay is the largest gated community in Southwest Florida to receive a Blue Zones Recognized Community designation — a certification awarded to communities that structurally support evidence-based longevity through design, programming, and culture. (Source: bonitabayresidents.com/style-of-living)
Can I golf at the Bonita Bay Club without being a member? No. The Bonita Bay Club is a private members-only facility. To access the golf courses or other Club amenities, you must join at one of the available membership tiers through the Membership Office.

What is my Horizons condo worth? The most accurate answer requires a property-specific analysis based on your floor, exposure, square footage, renovation level, and current comparable sales. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 for a specific valuation.
How many units have sold at Horizons in the last 12 months? 4 units closed at Horizons over the trailing 12 months, totaling $7,040,000 in volume at a median sold price of $1,370,000 (average $1,760,000; range $1,100,000 to $3,200,000), on a median 93 days on market and an average 93.1% of list price. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
What do Horizons condos typically sell for? Over the trailing 12 months the median sold price was $1,370,000, with closings spanning $1,100,000 to $3,200,000 — a wide band reflecting differences in floor, exposure, square footage, and renovation level. With zero active listings, a well-prepared unit faces no in-building competition. (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026.)
How long will it take to sell my Horizons unit? Over the trailing 12 months, the median days on market for closed Horizons sales was 93 days (Source: Stellar / SWFL MLS, HORIZONS subdivision filter, pulled June 2026). Well-priced units on premium upper floors will move faster; overpriced units will sit.
What disclosures am I required to provide to a buyer at Horizons? Under Florida Statute 718.503(2)(a), sellers must provide at their own expense: the current budget, most recent annual financial statement, current monthly assessment amount, Declaration, Bylaws, Rules and Regulations, and the most recent SIRS report (which at Horizons is complete and signed). Buyers have rescission rights after receiving governing documents and SIRS/milestone reports.
How does the SIRS affect my ability to sell? At Horizons, the SIRS works in your favor — it is done, signed (Rev. 5), and available, which removes one of the biggest uncertainties buyers face elsewhere. Provide it on day one.
Can I sell a Horizons unit during an active special assessment? Yes — but you must disclose the assessment to buyers. How it is handled in the contract (paid by seller at closing, assumed by buyer, or split) is negotiable.
What staging and preparation makes the most impact at Horizons? For west-facing units, maximize view impact in listing photography and schedule the shoot for late afternoon to capture the best light. For all units, clean, declutter, and assess whether targeted updates (countertops, lighting, flooring) would increase buyer interest enough to justify the cost. We advise on a unit-specific basis.
Is now a good time to sell at Horizons? Yes. With zero competing inventory in the building, demonstrated values as high as $3,200,000, and a long-term supply constraint (only 80 units, no new construction possible), a correctly priced Horizons unit is unusually well-positioned right now.

We have written this guide to be the most complete, most honest, and most practically useful resource on Horizons at Bonita Bay available on the internet. We do not have a financial interest in any particular outcome for your search — our interest is in representing clients who make informed decisions with confidence. Whether you ultimately buy at Horizons, at Vistas, at Tavira, at another Bonita Bay tower, or decide Bonita Bay's fee structure is not the right fit for your budget, the information on this page should help you get to that conclusion faster and more clearly.
For every data point we flagged as "needs confirmation" — the HOA fee specifics, the Horizons-specific Ian assessment history, the Karins plaza-deck funding mechanism, the exact BFE, and the BBCA's current master assessment — we mean it. Several of these facts are not publicly available and require direct inquiry with the seller, the association management company, or the building's governing board. This is how Florida condo law works: the required disclosures exist precisely because this information matters and the buyer is entitled to receive it. Use the rescission periods your law provides, read the SIRS when you receive it (at Horizons, it's already done), and ask the seller to confirm in writing whether any outstanding special assessments are pending.
And one fact bears repeating, because it changes the urgency of the decision: there is no active inventory in Horizons right now. When the next residence lists, it will go to a buyer who is ready. The best way to be that buyer is to be in conversation with a team that watches this building continuously.
