Marina Bay is a gated GL Homes community of 796 single-family homes and twin villas in Fort Myers, Florida, built from 2015 to 2021 off Treeline Avenue between Daniels Parkway and Colonial Boulevard, inside the City of Fort Myers in ZIP 33913. It sits in the Arborwood master plan, about 2.5 miles from I-75 exit 131, with a staffed gatehouse, a clubhouse with three pools and courts, and 16 association lakes, but no golf course and no marina (Lee County GIS, ParcelAddress layer; Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027).

This Marina Bay Fort Myers guide is built the way we price a listing here. It starts from 43 Lee County recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, the county roll and parcel layer, the City of Fort Myers permits and ordinances, the Arborwood CDD's adopted budget, FEMA's flood map and the 2026 final millage book. If you own here, the market section shows what homes like yours sold for, by collection and lot width. If you are buying, the governance, fee stack, villa and flood sections show what you will pay, what to request before closing, and where the public record goes silent.

Marina Bay, last 12 months (Lee County record): In the last 12 months we tracked 43 Marina Bay closings in the Lee County record at a $490,000 median, from $375,000 to $772,500, with $21,659,500 in recorded sale prices and none sold by the builder. Days to contract and sale-to-list: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-28). Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll (dated October 25, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis; the county sales index holds 788 of the 796 homes, because 8 homes with withheld addresses are not linked to it. The market section below lists every one of those 43 sales by street, size and year built.

For Marina Bay sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion with off-market capability when needed. A Marina Bay sale also runs on paperwork buyers ask for early. The association does not publish its dues, so the estoppel certificate is the document that states them. The CDD line differs by lot width, from $349.72 on a twin villa to $505.72 on a 62-foot lot for fiscal 2026-2027, and a buyer will ask which one your home carries. Twin villa buyers ask who maintains and insures the shared roof. That is a documents and marketing problem, and it is the one we are built for.

Key Takeaways: What Should Marina Bay Buyers and Sellers Know?

Marina Bay comes down to eight facts a buyer or seller should hold first: how many homes there are and who built them, what sold and for how much, the four lot-width classes on the CDD bill, the City tax stack, the flood map, the club and gate, the school zones and the drive distances.

Source for the sales figures below: Lee County Property Appraiser roll and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis, on the 788 homes in the county sales index.

• Size and setting: Marina Bay holds 796 homes on three recorded plats, 246 twin-villa halves and 550 single-family homes, built by GL Homes from 2015 to 2021 inside the City of Fort Myers, with one staffed gated entrance on Treeline Avenue (Lee County GIS, ParcelAddress layer).
• What sold: in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 the county recorded 43 sales at a $490,000 median, from $375,000 to $772,500, all resales: 29 single-family homes at a $525,000 median and 14 twin villas at $412,500.
• The CDD by lot width: the Arborwood Community Development District bills $349.72 a year on a twin villa, $442.72 on a 45-foot lot, $465.72 on a 52-foot lot and $505.72 on a 62-foot lot for fiscal 2026-2027, each $52.72 of operations plus Series 2018 bond debt that matures in May 2036 (Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027).
• City tax stack: the 2026 final millage for tax district 090 is 16.9702 mills, plus a City fire rescue assessment of $239.80 a home and a stormwater fee of $2.16 a month per 500 square feet of hard surface (Lee County Property Appraiser, 2026 Millage Book). Association dues are not published; ask for the estoppel certificate.
• Flood: FEMA's effective map puts all of Marina Bay in zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on panel 12071C0433G, with no letter of map change; Lee County places it in evacuation zone D, and the City is CRS Class 6, a 20 percent NFIP discount.
• Club and gate: the association owns the Club at Marina Bay on Silver Ridge Boulevard, with a resort pool, lap pool, splash zone, fitness center, indoor sport court and tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, behind a staffed gatehouse. There is no golf course and no marina.
• Schools: every address checked falls in the School District of Lee County's Elementary Zone J, Middle School Zone EE and High School East Zone, sub-zone E-2, for 2026-2027.
• Distances: I-75 exit 131 is about 2.5 route miles from the gate, the RSW terminal 4.7, JetBlue Park 3.5 and Fort Myers Beach 16.5.

What Is It Like Living in Marina Bay as a Homebuyer?

Living in Marina Bay means a gated GL Homes neighborhood of 796 homes built from 2015 to 2021, four product lines from twin villas to 62-foot lots, a clubhouse with three pools behind one staffed entrance on Treeline Avenue, City of Fort Myers services, and the airport, I-75 and spring training within about ten minutes.

What kind of community is Marina Bay?

Marina Bay is a single-builder gated community, not a golf club or a condominium. GL Homes planned, built and sold every home between 2015 and 2021, and one homeowners association owns the roads, the 16 lakes and the club. Every home is a platted lot that its owner holds in fee simple, including each half of a twin villa (Lee County GIS, ParcelAddress layer).

Where is it, and is it inside the City of Fort Myers?

Marina Bay sits on the west side of Treeline Avenue between Daniels Parkway and Colonial Boulevard, with I-75 along its western edge behind a 14-foot concrete wall. All eight points we checked fall inside the City of Fort Myers by both the Census geocoder and Lee County's city-limits layer, in LEEPA tax district 090 and ZIP 33913 (Lee County GIS, City Limits layer).

Which Marina Bay is this?

"Marina Bay" is a common name. This guide covers the GL Homes community off Treeline Avenue in Fort Myers. It is not the Marina Bay Club condominium in Naples, not a Fort Myers Beach marina, and not Singapore's Marina Bay. On a deed you may see "Botanica South": that is the recorded name of Marina Bay's first plat, not the Botanica Lakes community next door.

What kinds of homes are there?

There are four GL Homes collections, matched to lot width: the Atlantic twin villas (246 halves), the Baltic homes on 45-foot lots (267), the Coastal homes on 52-foot lots (245) and the Pacific homes on 62-foot lots (32), plus 6 homes we could not match to a model. County heated area runs from 1,442 square feet on the smallest villa to 4,192 on the largest Coastal plan.

Is there golf, a clubhouse or a marina?

There is a clubhouse, the Club at Marina Bay, owned by the association. There is no golf course and no golf membership, and despite the name there is no marina, dock, canal or boat ramp; the 16 lakes are freshwater stormwater lakes. The nearest course on Lee County's golf layer is about 1.2 route miles away.

What do the club amenities include?

The association's site, as captured in December 2024, listed a social room with a catering kitchen, game and card rooms, a multipurpose room, an indoor sport court, a 24-hour fitness center, a resort pool, a lap pool, a splash zone, a covered tot lot, and basketball, tennis and pickleball courts (Marina Bay association, Facilities and Amenities, December 2024 capture). City permits from 2016 record the three pools, four tennis court awnings and the court lighting.

How many fee layers does an owner pay?

A Marina Bay owner pays property tax at 16.9702 mills, the Arborwood CDD line of $349.72 to $505.72 by lot width, the City fire rescue assessment of $239.80, the City stormwater fee and solid waste on the same tax bill, then association dues and City water and sewer bills. The dues are not published anywhere public.

What is the flood picture in one paragraph?

FEMA's effective flood map shows zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, at every point we checked, on panel 12071C0433G effective December 7, 2018. No letter of map change covers the community, and the 2027 Lee County revision does not touch that panel. Lee County puts Marina Bay in evacuation zone D, surge zone 4.

Which schools are in its zones?

The School District of Lee County's 2026-2027 boundary application returns Elementary Zone J, Middle School Zone EE and High School East Zone, sub-zone E-2, at all six Marina Bay points we checked. Lee County is a choice district, so enrollment requests rank the schools within each zone.

What can you reach by car?

By free-flow routing from the gate, I-75 exit 131 is about 2.5 miles, the Southwest Florida International Airport terminal 4.7, JetBlue Park 3.5, the nearest Publix 4.8, Gulf Coast Medical Center 6.3, downtown Fort Myers 10.4 and Fort Myers Beach 16.5. Season and the Daniels Parkway interchange rebuild add time.

What do we walk a Marina Bay buyer through first?

Before an offer we read the CDD class for the lot, the estoppel figures, the City permit history for the roof, shutters or impact glass, the lake and pool position, and, on a twin villa, the declaration's roof and party-wall terms. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to start.

What Does the Marina Bay Market Look Like Right Now?

The Marina Bay market in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 was 43 Lee County recorded sales at a $490,000 median, from $375,000 to $772,500, all resales: 29 single-family homes at a $525,000 median and 14 twin villas at $412,500, on the 788 homes in the county sales index.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; county roll dated October 25, 2026).

For the citywide context and the Fort Myers agent rankings, see the best real estate agents in Fort Myers; this section stays with Marina Bay's own record.

The county record, 12 months

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis (cstats on the 788 indexed homes: 544 single-family, 244 twin villas). The twin-villa median is the midpoint of the two middle sales, $410,000 and $415,000, because 14 is an even count.

The window ladder, 12 months to all history

Same basis and source as the table above. The 24-month low of $230,000 is one Plat Three villa sale in March 2025 that sits far below every other villa sale in the period; treat it as an outlier until the deed is read.

Every sale in the 12 months, listed

Source: Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026 and the county roll, our analysis. Street only; the 43 recorded prices sum to $21,659,500. Product follows the county files' villa and single-family lists.

Twin villas against single-family homes

The 14 villa sales ran $375,000 to $535,000 and the 29 single-family sales $390,000 to $772,500, so the two products overlap only between about $390,000 and $535,000. Villas sold for more per square foot, a $236.94 median against $220.79, because the denominator is smaller: most villa sales were the 1,646 square foot Nantucket plan. Five Waters Cir villas, the older east loop built 2015 to 2018, sold from $375,000 to $405,000; Plat Three villas on Lakewood Preserve Pl, built 2018 to 2021, from $410,000 to $535,000.

By collection and lot width

We split the single-family sales by the GL Homes model each home was built from, matched by county heated area and proved on 294 City permits that name the model code. This is our inferred class, not a recorded one, and it uses the same county tool.

Source: Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, cstats on the indexed homes in each class (244 villas, 264 Baltic, 243 Coastal, 31 Pacific), our analysis. The Baltic median is the midpoint of $490,000 and $495,000. Two Pacific sales are too few to read as a market rate.

By plat

Botanica South, Marina Bay's first plat and the only one with Pacific homes, recorded 17 sales at a $460,000 median; Plat Two, single-family only, 18 at $527,500; and Plat Three, villas only, 8 sales from $410,000 to $535,000, too few for a 12-month median, so its 24-month figure is 17 sales at $425,000 (Lee County record, our analysis).

Price bands

Six of the 43 sales were between $300,000 and $400,000, 18 between $400,000 and $500,000, 18 between $500,000 and $750,000, and one above $750,000. Nothing sold below $300,000 or above $1 million in the 12 months.

Street by street, and why we do not print street medians

Lakewood Preserve Pl recorded 9 sales, Five Waters Cir 6, Meadowrun Cir and Stonecreek Cir 5 each, Chesapeake Bay Dr, Riverstone Ln and Kati Falls Ln 4 each, Foxbriar Ln 3, Windy Pointe Ct 2 and Summerview Way 1. Each street is under 10 sales, and several mix products, so a street median would mislead; the list above shows every price by street.

Same plan, different price: what the listed sales show

Twelve of the sales were the 2,242 square foot Cayman plan, and they ran from $390,000 to $585,000. A $195,000 spread on one floor plan is the lake, pool, upgrades, condition and age at work, which is why a Marina Bay home is priced from matched sales, never from a community average. The per-sale price per heated square foot ran from about $174 to about $272.

The long arc, 2015 to 2026

Source: Lee County record, our analysis; builder-direct is the tool's estimate of first sales of new homes. The blended median moves with the product mix as well as with price: single-family medians were $630,000 in 2022, $647,500 in 2023, $651,100 in 2024, $597,464 in 2025 and $527,500 in 2026 to date, and villa medians $500,651, $500,000, $450,000, $415,000 and $412,500 over the same years.

Price per square foot, and the denominator

Every price per square foot on this page is per square foot of county heated area, the property appraiser's measure of conditioned space. GL Homes advertised air-conditioned square feet measured from the outside of the exterior walls, and the MLS reports living area by yet another rule. Never compare one with another.

The builder era is over

GL Homes sold 127 new homes here in 2019, 100 in 2020 and 52 in 2021 by the county tool's estimate, and none since. No vacant lot remains on the roll. Every Marina Bay sale today is a resale, and your competition is other owners.

The eight homes the county sales file cannot see

Lee County's parcel layer draws 796 homes with plat lots numbered 1 to 796, while the county sales index used for these figures holds 788. The other 8, 2 twin villas and 6 single-family homes, have their site addresses withheld from public display, as Florida law allows for qualifying owners, and are not linked to the file. Every sales figure on this page is therefore for 788 of the 796 homes.

Days on market and sale-to-list

Days on market, sale-to-list ratio, active inventory and months of supply come from the Southwest Florida MLS, not the county. For Marina Bay: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-28). The county record above is the market basis for this guide.

What a seller should read into these numbers

Three readings hold on the record. Prices have settled since the 2022 and 2023 peaks, to a $490,000 median over both the last 12 and the last 24 months. Product drives price more than street does: a twin villa, a Baltic, a Coastal and a Pacific home trade in different bands. And the same plan varies by close to $200,000 on lot, pool and condition, so a listing is priced from the matched sales.

How Did Marina Bay Come to Be?

Marina Bay came out of the Arborwood annexation of 2003 and the Arborwood development order of 2004. GL Homes cleared and platted the land in 2014 under the working name Botanica South, opened sales as Marina Bay in early 2015, finished the clubhouse in 2017 and sold its last new homes in 2021.

Arborwood joins the City in 2003

On August 18, 2003, the City of Fort Myers adopted Ordinance 3135, the "Voluntary annexation of Arborwood, 2,243.63 acres, more or less," east of I-75 (City of Fort Myers, Ordinance 3135). That annexation is why Marina Bay pays City taxes and gets City fire, police, water and sewer service today, although much of the land around Treeline Avenue to the south is still unincorporated Lee County.

The Arborwood development order and its district, 2004

The City approved the Arborwood Development of Regional Impact by Ordinance 3226 on September 20, 2004 (City of Fort Myers, Ordinance 3226), and created the Arborwood Community Development District by Ordinance 3223, established October 4, 2004 (Arborwood CDD). The scanned 2004 order carries no text layer, so its unit tables are not quoted here.

GL Homes appears in the record, 2011

Ordinance 3606, adopted December 5, 2011, extended the Arborwood buildout, phasing and expiration dates by four years "as requested by GL Homes and Centex Homes, developer" (City of Fort Myers, Ordinance 3606). GL Homes had already built Botanica Lakes next door; the land that became Marina Bay was its next tract in the same district.

Botanica South: the 2014 site work

In 2014 the City permitted site work for "373 single family lots" under the project name Botanica South (issued May 2, 2014), a temporary sales trailer, the clearing of 117 previously cleared acres, the guardhouse on Silver Ridge Boulevard (November 20, 2014) and the first 14-foot concrete wall along I-75 (City of Fort Myers, EnerGov permit search). The recorded plat kept that working name.

Why your deed may say Botanica South

Marina Bay's first plat is recorded as BOTANICA SOUTH, instrument 2014000185347, and covers lots 1 to 371. By January 2015 GL Homes was selling the same land as Marina Bay, and the March 2015 entry signs read "Marina Bay a GL Homes Community." No record we read states why the name changed; the plat name simply stayed on the legal description. Lee County's subdivision layer draws one polygon named MARINA BAY that contains the Botanica South lots (Lee County GIS, Cadastre Subdivisions layer).

Launch in 2015 and the four collections

GL Homes' January 2015 pages, tagged pre-launch and grand opening, listed 19 designs in four collections: Atlantic twin villas from $225,900, Baltic 45-foot homes from $275,900, Coastal 52-foot homes from $289,900 and Pacific 62-foot homes from $399,900, and named the seller as "Lee County Homes Associates III, LLLP" (GL Homes, Marina Bay model list, builder marketing, January 2015). Those are historic base prices, before options and lot premiums, and never a current value. By August 2019 the smallest villa, the Sardinia, started at $252,900 (GL Homes, Marina Bay collections, builder marketing, August 2019).

The club opens, 2016 to 2017

The City issued the clubhouse permit on June 13, 2016 and finaled it on March 31, 2017, and permitted the play pool, main pool and lap pool on October 27, 2016, with tennis court awnings, a party pavilion, a school bus stop pavilion and a playground the same season (City of Fort Myers, EnerGov permit search). "The Club at Marina Bay" monument signs followed in 2017.

Plat Two and Plat Three

Marina Bay Plat Two (instrument 2016000103335, lots 372 to 664) got its infrastructure permit for 293 single-family lots on March 2, 2016, and the Recreation Tract plat (instrument 2016000103334) carries the club. Marina Bay Plat Three (instrument 2017-156572, lots 665 to 796) followed with site work for 132 residential units on April 24, 2017, and holds only twin villas.

Over 700 sold, then the countdown

GL Homes posted "Over 700 homes sold at Marina Bay" in August 2020 and "Countdown to sellout at Marina Bay" in October 2020, offering move-in-ready Sierra and Cayman models "from the $300s" (GL Homes, Countdown to Sellout, builder marketing, October 2020). The county record shows the last 36 homes built in 2021 and builder-direct sales ending that year.

After the builder

Since 2022 Marina Bay has been an owner-run resale community. City permits since then are owner work: shutters, screen enclosures, pools, re-roofs, a few Hurricane Ian repairs, a 2024 sidewalk repair "per Marina Bay Management" and a 2026 clubhouse air-conditioning change-out.

A timeline you can check

What Is the Marina Bay Master Plan, and What Was Built?

The Marina Bay master plan is a tract of the Arborwood Development of Regional Impact, zoned MDP-3 by the City of Fort Myers: three recorded plats of 796 lots plus a Recreation Tract, 16 association lakes, open-space buffers and private roads. It is fully built, with no vacant lot left on the county roll.

The Arborwood DRI and MDP-3 zoning

Lee County's City zoning layer returns MDP-3, "Master Development Plan 3," at Marina Bay, with no project PUD of its own (Lee County GIS, City of Fort Myers zoning layer). The governing plan is the Arborwood development order, amended in 2011, 2017 and 2018; the 2018 change, Ordinance 3851, added multifamily uses to the Arborwood Town Center (City of Fort Myers, Ordinance 3851).

Parcel A, shared with Botanica Lakes

The Arborwood CDD's methodology treats Marina Bay and Botanica Lakes together as Parcel A, 560.38 gross acres with 207.90 acres of preserve and lake (Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027). The two communities share that assessment parcel, a builder and a boundary, and nothing else: separate associations, separate clubhouses and separate gates.

Three plats and the Recreation Tract

Source: Lee County GIS ParcelAddress layer, read October 28, 2026. Recording dates, plat book pages and dedication text sit in the Lee County Clerk's official records, which we could not search from a script; the instrument numbers above are how to find them.

796 lots, 796 homes

The plat lots run from 1 to 796 without a gap, and every one carries a home on the parcel layer. The association states "796 homes," and the CDD's adopted assessment table counts 796 Marina Bay units, so three independent records agree on the size.

Common tracts: lakes, open space, roads

The association owns all 38 common tracts: 16 lake parcels totaling 55.56 acres by county GIS acreage, open-space tracts coded as buffer and water retention, private road tracts that carry Silver Ridge Boulevard and the side streets, and the 5.085-acre Recreation Tract with the club.

Land the association owns inside the Botanica Lakes plat

Eight tracts recorded in the 2006 Botanica Lakes Plat One, 18.88 acres in all, are owned on the county roll by the Marina Bay association; the largest, 9.47 acres, adjoins 13 Marina Bay lots. That is a boundary detail, not a shared amenity: the tracts edge Marina Bay, and the Botanica Lakes association owns its own land.

Built out

No vacant residential parcel remains, and the newest homes date from 2021. What a buyer sees on the ground today is what the plats allow.

How Is Marina Bay Governed?

Marina Bay is governed by one homeowners association, Marina Bay of Fort Myers Homeowners Association, Inc., which owns the roads, lakes and club, and by a separate unit of local government, the Arborwood Community Development District, which bills on the tax bill. There is no condominium regime and no separate villa association owns land.

One association

The Lee County roll names the Marina Bay association as owner of every Marina Bay common tract, and no other association owns land in the three plats (Lee County GIS, ParcelAddress layer). The association's home page, as captured in February 2025, called Marina Bay "a GL Homes built community, with 796 homes, 16 lakes and fabulous amenities" (Marina Bay association, home page, February 2025 capture).

The corporate record

The Florida Division of Corporations lists Marina Bay of Fort Myers Homeowners Association, Inc., document N06000000149, as active on its search results (Florida Division of Corporations). The detail page, with filing date, registered agent and annual reports, refused automated access on October 28, 2026, so we do not quote it.

Who manages it

The association's home page, as captured in February 2025, listed "Management: Castle Group," and a 2024 City sidewalk permit was issued "per Marina Bay Management" (Marina Bay association, home page, February 2025 capture). The association's live site returned an error on October 28, 2026, so confirm the current manager with the estoppel request.

No villa sub-association

The 123 twin-villa buildings are not a condominium and no second association owns land on the villa streets. The association's document list includes a "Villa Maintenance Policy," which suggests villa-specific maintenance rules, but its text sits behind the owner login.

The declaration, and what we could not read

The recorded Declaration of Covenants for Marina Bay, its amendments, bylaws and rules are filed in the Lee County official records (Lee County Clerk of Court, official records). We could not run a document search there, and no public copy was found. Leasing, pet, vehicle, fence, paint and shutter rules are therefore not stated here: the recorded declaration and the association's rules govern, and a buyer should read them before the inspection period ends.

What the association's document list names

The association's governing-documents page, as captured in February 2025, lists the Fourth Amended and Restated Rules and Regulations, a lease policy, the Villa Maintenance Policy, five numbered amendments and a 2020 amendment set, and its sales page lists a sale application and a lease application (Marina Bay association, Governing Documents). Titles only; ask the seller for the documents themselves.

What Florida law requires the association to post

A Florida homeowners association with 100 or more parcels must post its declaration, bylaws, rules, budget, financial report and meeting notices on a website or app for owners (s. 720.303). Marina Bay has 796 parcels, so the rule applies; a seller can download those postings for a buyer.

Rental amendments under Florida law

Florida law limits how far a later amendment can reach: an amendment adopted after July 1, 2021 that prohibits or regulates rentals binds only owners who take title after it, or who consent, except that an association may ban leases shorter than 6 months, or more than three rentals a year, for everyone (s. 720.306). Marina Bay's own lease policy was not readable, so the statute is the only rental rule quoted here.

The Arborwood CDD is a separate government

The Arborwood Community Development District is an independent Chapter 190 special district with a five-member board of supervisors, established by the City in 2004. It bills on the county tax bill, meets monthly at 10:00 a.m. in the Somerset at the Plantation amenity center, and routes payoff requests through its district manager (Arborwood CDD; Arborwood CDD, Documents). It does not own or run the Marina Bay club.

Age status

No record we read states an age restriction for Marina Bay, and the page makes no claim about one. The association's rule, as published in December 2024, that the splash zone and tot lot are for children 12 and under is a facility rule, not a community age rule.

What Does It Cost to Own a Home in Marina Bay? The Fee Stack

The cost of owning a Marina Bay home is five billed layers on or beside the tax bill: property tax at 16.9702 mills in district 090, the Arborwood CDD line of $349.72 to $505.72 by lot width, the City fire rescue assessment of $239.80, the City stormwater fee, and association dues, whose amount is not published.

The Fee Stack, one table

The Arborwood CDD line by lot width

Source: Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027, Assessment Recap, Parcel A, Marina Bay, read October 28, 2026. These are gross amounts on the tax bill; the district grosses them up to cover the up to 4 percent discount for paying in November. The district's footnote explains the 6 villas on 45-foot lots: it "allocates assessments based on the size of the lot, not the structure constructed on the lot size."

What the CDD pays for

The $52.72 operations share funds district administration, engineering, environmental work, an offsite panther mitigation parcel that must be cleared of exotics each year ($80,000 in the budget), flowway maintenance and trustee fees (Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027). Lake maintenance lines in the district budget are labelled for Somerset and Bridgetown only, so Marina Bay's own lakes are the association's cost.

The Series 2018 bonds and the May 2036 maturity

The debt share repays the district's Series 2018 A-1 and A-2 bonds, originally $24,465,000 and $8,740,000, with $16,360,000 and $5,670,000 outstanding on January 1, 2026, maturing in May 2036. Unless a lot is prepaid or the bonds are refunded, the debt share runs through the district's fiscal year ending September 30, 2036; after that, only the operations share remains. FY2026-2027 rates are lower than the year before because the district used $21,000 of carryover funds to reduce assessments.

Can you pay off the CDD debt?

Yes. One Marina Bay 45-foot lot already shows as paid off and pays only the $52.72 operations share. The district routes payoff requests through its manager's request form, linked from the Arborwood CDD home page; the payoff figure for a given lot comes only from that letter, so we do not estimate one.

Property tax: district 090 at 16.9702 mills

The Lee County Property Appraiser's final 2026 millage book, printed October 9, 2026, gives tax district 090 an actual total of 16.9702 mills, below the proposed 17.4449 and up from 16.5034 in 2025 (Lee County Property Appraiser, 2026 Taxing District Millage Book; 2025 Taxing District Millage Book). The City operating levy is 6.9000 mills and a new City parks voted debt levy adds 0.1170. The rest is Lee County general revenue (3.7623), the school board (2.2480 local and 3.0230 state), the library (0.4218) and the water-management, mosquito, hyacinth and inland navigation levies. Each 16.9702 mills is $16.97 per $1,000 of taxable value, so a $400,000 taxable value carries $6,788.08 of ad valorem tax, and the book notes it "does not include any non ad valorem special assessments."

The City fire rescue assessment

The City of Fort Myers funds fire service partly through a flat non-ad valorem assessment. The staff summary for the September 9, 2026 final rate hearing on Resolution 2026-71 sets it at $239.80 per residential dwelling unit for fiscal year 2026-2027, a 10 percent rise across all categories, after the preliminary Resolution 2026-63 in August (City of Fort Myers, final fire assessment hearing; Resolution 2026-63). A twin-villa half is one dwelling unit.

The City stormwater fee

The City's stormwater user fee is $2.16 a month per Standard Impervious Unit, 500 square feet of roof, driveway, patio and other hard surface, rounded down, billed on the tax roll as a yearly non-ad valorem charge (City of Fort Myers, Stormwater User Fee). The amount differs by home. For illustration only, 2,000 square feet of hard surface is 4 units, or $103.68 a year, and 3,000 square feet is 6 units, or $155.52.

Water, sewer and solid waste

Marina Bay is on City of Fort Myers water and sewer. Residential water inside city limits is billed in tiers, $5.67, $11.33, $17.00 and $22.66 per 1,000 gallons as of October 1, 2026, sewer at $16.43 per 1,000 gallons, plus readiness-to-serve charges of $12.40 for water and $22.92 for sewer on a 5/8-inch meter (FY2027 Utility Rates). Solid waste rides on the tax bill as a Solid Waste Area 9 charge; the 2026 amount is on the parcel's bill.

The association dues that are not published

Marina Bay's current association assessment is not published in any public record we could read: no budget is posted outside the owner login and the declaration could not be opened. The amount for a specific home, and any villa maintenance charge, is stated on the estoppel certificate, which the association must deliver within 10 business days of a request, for a fee capped by statute ($299 for a current account, the cap as last adjusted for inflation in 2022) (s. 720.30851).

Worked example: a year of known charges by lot width

Property tax depends on each home's taxable value after exemptions, so the example below applies the 2026 rates to one illustrative taxable value per product. It adds the CDD line for that lot width, the fire assessment and a stormwater illustration (4 units on a villa, 6 on a single-family home), and leaves out association dues, solid waste, water and sewer.

The taxable values are assumptions chosen to show the arithmetic, not estimates of anyone's bill. A buyer's taxable value resets after a sale and homestead exemptions lower it; the Lee County Tax Collector bill for the parcel is the figure to use.

What to request before you sign

Ask for the estoppel certificate (dues, any villa charge, special assessments, any resale or capital contribution), the current budget and financial report, the recorded declaration with every amendment, the rules, the lease policy and the Villa Maintenance Policy, the most recent tax bill showing the CDD class, and the City permit history for the home. Florida also requires the seller to give the homeowners association disclosure summary before the contract is signed (s. 720.401).

What Homes and Streets Make Up Marina Bay?

Marina Bay's 796 homes come in four GL Homes collections tied to lot width, set out by street: twin villas on the east loop of Five Waters Circle and in Plat Three, 45 and 52-foot single-family homes through the middle and south, and the 62-foot Pacific homes on the north loop of Stonecreek Circle and its courts.

Four collections, one table

Source: Lee County GIS ParcelAddress layer, read October 28, 2026, with each home matched to its GL Homes model by county heated area; the match was proved on 294 lots whose City building permit names the model code. The classes are our inference. The CDD's own lot classes, which set the tax-bill line, are 240 villa lots, 276 45-foot lots (6 of them carrying villas and 1 with its bonds paid off), 247 52-foot lots and 33 62-foot lots.

Atlantic twin villas

The Atlantic collection is the twin villa: two one-story halves under one roof, each on its own platted lot, 123 buildings and 246 halves in all. GL Homes built five plans, by our match Nantucket (103 halves), Monaco (75), Columbia (33), York (24, added by 2019) and Sardinia (11), from 1,442 to 2,025 square feet of county heated area, nearly all two-bedroom with a two-car garage (GL Homes, Marina Bay model list, builder marketing, January 2015). Fifteen villa halves carry a county pool flag.

Baltic homes on 45-foot lots

The Baltic collection holds 267 homes on 45-foot lots, the most of any class: Cayman (139 by our match), Newcastle (40), Charlotte (27), Lucia (23), Lennox (20) and Sierra (18). They run from the 1,985 square foot Lucia to the two-story, five-bedroom Lennox of 3,437 square feet heated, on a median lot of about 0.144 acre, and 55 have a pool.

Coastal homes on 52-foot lots

The Coastal collection holds 245 homes on 52-foot lots: Grenada (71), Montego (59), Bermuda (41), Bahama (40), Rose (15), Barbados (10), Aruba (6) and Antigua (3). The 59 Montego homes, two-story, six bedrooms and 4,190 square feet of county heated area, are the largest plan in Marina Bay. The median Coastal lot is about 0.168 acre, and 100 Coastal homes have a pool.

Pacific homes on 62-foot lots

The Pacific collection is the smallest and widest: 32 one-story homes on 62-foot lots, Egret (21), Heron (7) and Canary (4), from 2,656 to 3,130 square feet heated, with three-car garages in GL Homes' plans and a median lot of about 0.195 acre. Every Pacific home is in Botanica South, on Stonecreek Cir, Gulfstone Ct, Smokebush Ct and Meadowrun Cir, built from 2015 to 2018; GL Homes' 2019 pages no longer list the collection.

Street by street

Source: Lee County GIS ParcelAddress layer, read October 28, 2026. "Lake-adjacent" means within 25 feet of a platted lake tract, our measurement; it is not a statement that a home has a water view. Lakewood Preserve Pl runs through two plats, single-family in Plat Two and villas in Plat Three.

Lake lots

By our measurement 448 of the 796 homes, about 56 percent, sit within 25 feet of one of the 14 platted lake tracts, and more adjoin the lake on the Recreation Tract. Five Waters Cir is the most lake-lined street, with 79 of its 108 villa halves beside a lake. A lake tract includes banks and maintenance easements, so confirm the view, the bank and any easement on the survey.

Two-story homes and pools

205 homes are two-story, all of them Baltic or Coastal plans; every villa and every Pacific home is one story. 188 homes carry a county pool flag, and the City has issued 99 pool or pool-and-spa permits on Marina Bay streets. Screen enclosures and aluminum structures appear on 187 City permits.

What GL Homes built into every home

GL Homes' 2015 standard features list "Steel Reinforced Concrete Block Construction On First Floor Of All Homes Engineered Wood Frame Construction On Second Floor," "Concrete Single Roll High Profile Roof Tile," Low E double-pane windows engineered for wind load, steel storm panels, brick paver driveways and walks, and a ten-year structural warranty (GL Homes, Marina Bay Standard Features, builder marketing, 2015). The warranty term has run on the earliest homes; ask whether any transferable coverage remains.

How the layout reads on the ground

Silver Ridge Boulevard runs west from the Treeline Avenue gate to the club. Five Waters Cir, the east villa loop, lies just inside the gate; Stonecreek Cir and its courts form the north loop with the widest lots; the Plat Two streets fill the south; and the Plat Three villas occupy the west end near the I-75 wall.

What Is a Marina Bay Twin Villa, and How Does It Differ From a Single-Family Home?

A Marina Bay twin villa is one half of a one-story, two-unit building that its owner holds in fee simple on its own platted lot, not a condominium unit. There are 246 halves in 123 buildings. They share a roof and a party wall with the neighbor, pay a lower CDD line, and sell in a lower band.

Fee simple, not a condominium

Each villa half is a separate platted lot with its own parcel and DOR use code 01 on the county roll, the same code as a detached home, and the City permitted each half separately as "Single Family Attached," left or right (Lee County GIS, ParcelAddress layer). No condominium declaration covers them, so Florida's condominium milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules do not apply.

The shared roof and the party wall

Who repairs and insures the shared roof, the party wall and the villa exteriors is set by the recorded declaration and, it appears, the association's Villa Maintenance Policy, neither of which we could read. Before you sign, read the declaration's villa provisions for roof, party-wall, exterior paint and insurance responsibilities, and ask the estoppel for any villa maintenance charge.

The CDD class for a villa

240 villa halves pay the villa rate on the Arborwood CDD line, $349.72 for fiscal 2026-2027, and 6 villa halves on Meadowrun Cir pay the 45-foot rate, $442.72, because the district assesses by lot size, not by the house built on it (Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027).

Where the villas are

Five Waters Cir holds 108 villa halves, built 2015 to 2018, most of them on the lake; Plat Three, the west end of Lakewood Preserve Pl, holds 132 built 2018 to 2021; and 6 sit on Meadowrun Cir. Plat Three villas back onto a 6.04-acre tract that the county codes as a lake.

What villas sell for

In the 12 months to September 25, 2026 the county recorded 14 villa sales at a $412,500 median, from $375,000 to $535,000, $236.94 per square foot of county heated area. Ten of the 14 were the 1,646 square foot Nantucket plan. Villa medians peaked at $500,651 in 2022 and have eased each year since (Lee County record, our analysis, on 244 of 246 villas).

Villa or single-family: how the numbers compare

For the same 12 months, the single-family median was $525,000 against $412,500 for villas, a $112,500 gap, while the villa CDD line is $93 to $156 a year lower than the single-family lines. Villas carry less roof, less yard and, usually, fewer stormwater units; they also carry a neighbor on the other side of the wall and whatever the villa rules require.

Marina Bay Twin Villas, a spoke page

A dedicated Marina Bay Twin 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.

What Does the Club at Marina Bay Include?

The Club at Marina Bay is an association-owned clubhouse on a 5.085-acre Recreation Tract on Silver Ridge Boulevard, finished in 2017, with a resort pool, lap pool, splash zone, 24-hour fitness center, indoor sport court, social and game rooms, and tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. No CDD line funds it.

The building, and its four sizes

Four records give four sizes. GL Homes marketed "a 12,491 square foot clubhouse" in 2015 and "the spectacular 12,750 sq. ft. Clubhouse" in 2019; the association's own page in 2024 called it "a 13,000 sq ft facility"; and the Lee County roll records 10,181 square feet of county heated area, built 2017 (GL Homes, Amenities and Lifestyle, builder marketing, January 2015; GL Homes, Marina Bay Lifestyle, builder marketing, August 2019; Marina Bay association, Facilities and Amenities, December 2024 capture). They measure different things: the roll counts only heated space, while builder figures usually take in covered areas. We do not average them.

Pools

The City permitted a play pool, a main pool and a lap pool on October 27, 2016, and a pool-deck fountain the following week. The association's December 2024 pages describe a resort pool, a lap pool and a splash zone, with the splash zone and tot lot for children 12 and under. Whether the pools are heated is not stated in any record we read.

Fitness and the indoor sport court

The association's page, as captured in December 2024, described a fitness center "open 24 hrs a day" with "a separate entrance on the south side of the Clubhouse, near the mailboxes," and an indoor sport court; GL Homes' 2015 plan called it a half-court indoor sports complex.

Tennis, pickleball and basketball

GL Homes' 2015 plan promised 3 lighted hard tennis courts, 4 pickleball courts and a full outdoor basketball court; the City permitted four tennis court awnings and 16 court light poles in 2016. The as-built court counts are not confirmed in any record we read, so we state only that tennis, pickleball and basketball courts are there.

Rooms inside

In December 2024 the association listed a social room with a large-screen TV, fireplace and catering kitchen, a game room, a card room and a multipurpose room, and it published resident rental rates of $250 for four hours plus a $350 deposit for the social hall and kitchen (70 guests), and $100 plus a $150 deposit for the multipurpose room (39 guests) or the party pavilion (30 guests) (Marina Bay association, Facilities and Amenities). Confirm current rates with the association.

Hours as the association published them

In December 2024 the association listed the clubhouse open 7:00 am to 10:00 pm daily, fitness 24 hours, basketball 9 am to 9 pm, tennis and pickleball 8 am to 9 pm, and all other outdoor amenities dawn to dusk (Marina Bay association, Facilities and Amenities). The association's live site returned an error on October 28, 2026, so treat those hours as dated.

Lifestyle director and resident clubs

The association's pages, as captured in December 2024, named a lifestyle director's office within the management team and list resident-run clubs, among them a book club, Mah Jongg, card games, men's poker, a run and walk club, and a pickleball club and league (Marina Bay association, Clubs and Organizations).

Who owns and pays for it

The roll names the association as owner of the Recreation Tract, and the Arborwood CDD budget carries no clubhouse, pool or amenity line for any community, so the club is paid for through association dues, not the CDD (Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027). There is no separate club membership or equity.

Is There Golf or a Marina at Marina Bay?

Marina Bay has no golf course and no marina. No tract on the county roll carries a golf use, and there is no dock, boat ramp, canal or tidal water inside the community; the 16 lakes are freshwater stormwater lakes owned by the association. Golf, boat ramps and beaches are a short drive away.

No golf, no golf membership

Marina Bay's 38 common tracts are lakes, open-space buffers, roads and the Recreation Tract, and none is golf (Lee County GIS, ParcelAddress layer). There is no golf membership to buy or transfer. GL Homes itself listed nearby clubs as "area info" rather than amenities.

The nearest courses

Lee County's golf layer places 39 courses within 10 miles of the Marina Bay clubhouse (Lee County GIS, Golf Course Locations). Most are private or community clubs with their own terms, which we did not confirm.

The City's public courses

The City of Fort Myers runs two 18-hole public courses, Eastwood Golf Course and Fort Myers Country Club, open "for residents and visitors alike" (City of Fort Myers, Golf). From the Marina Bay gate Eastwood is about 6.0 route miles, about 12 minutes without traffic, and Fort Myers Country Club about 11.3 miles, 20 minutes.

No marina, despite the name

There is no marina, dock, seawall, canal or tidal water anywhere in Marina Bay: Lee County's hydrography layer shows only freshwater lakes inside the community, and FEMA's map shows no coastal feature (Lee County GIS, Hydrography layer). The name is a brand, not a feature.

The 16 lakes

The county roll shows 16 lake parcels, 55.56 acres by county GIS acreage, all owned by the association, which matches the association's own "16 lakes." They are stormwater lakes with aerating fountains (a City permit of 2017 covers "Lake fountains #26 phase three"). Fishing, kayak and swimming rules are set by the declaration and rules, which we could not read.

Where to launch a boat or kayak

Source: Lee County GIS, Parks, Preserves and Boat Ramps and OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data, October 28, 2026. Boat and trailer storage inside Marina Bay is a declaration question we could not answer.

How far is the beach?

Fort Myers Beach at Times Square is about 16.5 route miles from the gate, about 29 minutes without traffic; the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza about 17.9 miles; and Bonita Beach Park about 23.8 miles. Season adds time on every one of those routes.

Is Marina Bay Gated, and How Do You Get In?

Marina Bay is gated, with a staffed gatehouse on Silver Ridge Boulevard just inside its only road connection, at Treeline Avenue. Lee County's subdivision layer flags it as gated, GL Homes built an elevated main entrance with a staffed gatehouse, and the association's guest system lets owners pre-list visitors for the gate staff.

The staffed gatehouse

GL Homes' 2015 standard features list an "Elevated Main Entrance with a Staffed Gatehouse Covering Visitor Traffic Lanes," and its 2021 gallery captions a "Staffed Gatehouse" (GL Homes, Marina Bay Standard Features, builder marketing, December 2015; GL Homes, Marina Bay, builder marketing, January 2021). The City issued the guardhouse permit on November 20, 2014, and the association's FAQ gives a guard gate phone.

One entrance, at Treeline Avenue

Lee County's road centerlines show Silver Ridge Boulevard meeting Treeline Avenue as the only road connection: the first 70 feet are City-maintained, and the rest of the internal network is private (Lee County GIS, Road Centerlines). The west side is closed by 14-foot concrete walls along I-75, permitted in 2014 and 2016.

Guests and contractors

The association's FAQ points owners to the TekControl portal to update their contact information for "the gate access control staff" and to manage their guest list (Marina Bay association, FAQ). Contractor rules are not published.

What the record does not say about the gate

Gate staffing hours, any overnight unstaffed operation, and who the security contractor is are not in any public record we read; the association's budget and rules hold those answers.

Policing

Marina Bay is inside the City, so the Fort Myers Police Department is the municipal police agency, and its roads are private. Lee County's subdivision layer records no sheriff traffic-control agreement for them.

What Flood Zone Is Marina Bay In?

Marina Bay is in FEMA flood zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, at every point we checked, on panel 12071C0433G effective December 7, 2018. No letter of map change covers the community, nothing is pending for that panel, and Lee County places Marina Bay in evacuation zone D, surge zone 4.

Zone X on the effective map

We queried FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer at eight points spread across all three plats and the club: every one returned zone X, "area of minimal flood hazard," outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, with no base flood elevation (FEMA, National Flood Hazard Layer). A wider rectangle drawn around the whole community returned only zone X polygons.

Why the panel says 2018 when the map says 2022

Lee County's countywide flood map was revised on November 17, 2022, and FEMA's Community Status Book gives the City of Fort Myers that date as its current map date. That revision reissued 157 Lee County panels but left 7 at their December 7, 2018 date, and panel 12071C0433G, which covers Marina Bay, is one of the 7 (FEMA, NFHL FIRM panels; FEMA, Community Status Book, Florida). Both dates are right: a 2018 panel inside a 2022 countywide map.

No LOMR or LOMA

FEMA's letter-of-map-revision and letter-of-map-amendment layers return no feature over Marina Bay (FEMA, NFHL LOMRs; FEMA, NFHL LOMAs). None was needed: the ground is mapped outside the high-risk zone to begin with.

The 2027 map revision does not reach Marina Bay

Lee County's only pending flood map change, LOMR 20-04-0036S, takes effect March 2, 2027 and revises six panels along Mullock Creek; panel 0433 is not among them, and FEMA's preliminary and pending map services return nothing at Marina Bay (Lee County, 2027 Pending Flood Map Revisions; FEMA, Pending NFHL).

How far is the high-risk zone, and how high is the ground?

The nearest Special Flood Hazard Area, a zone AE polygon, is roughly 0.9 mile from the middle of Marina Bay by our measurement. Lee County's 2018 LiDAR spot elevations over most of the community have a median of 22.85 feet (NAVD 88), with the middle 80 percent between about 20.2 and 24.3 feet (Lee County GIS, Spot Elevations). Those are ground readings across roads, lots and banks, not a finished-floor height; only an elevation certificate gives that for a home.

Evacuation zone D and storm surge

Lee County's emergency management layers place every Marina Bay point in evacuation zone D and surge zone 4 (Lee County GIS, EOC layers). Zone D is called after zones A, B and C in Lee County's lettering, and the county announces shelters storm by storm.

The City's CRS Class 6

The City of Fort Myers is a Community Rating System Class 6 community, current class effective October 1, 2025, which gives NFIP flood policies inside the City up to a 20 percent discount (FEMA, CRS Eligible Communities, October 1, 2026). The discount applies to NFIP flood policies only, not to wind or private flood coverage.

How Are Marina Bay Homes Built for Storms, and What Happened in Ian and Milton?

Marina Bay homes were permitted under the 2010, 2014 and 2017 Florida Building Codes, with concrete block first floors, concrete tile roofs and steel storm panels or impact glass. Lee County maps the site at 160 mph design wind in the wind-borne debris region. City permits show Hurricane Ian repairs were mostly screen enclosures.

Construction by GL Homes specification

GL Homes' standard features call for steel-reinforced concrete block on the first floor of every home, engineered wood frame on second floors, concrete roof tile, Low E double-pane windows engineered for wind load, and "Direct Mount Steel Storm Panels" (GL Homes, Marina Bay Standard Features, builder marketing). Every villa and every Pacific home is one story, so most of the stock is block from slab to roof.

Building code era, 2014 to 2020

Source: City of Fort Myers EnerGov new-home permits on Marina Bay streets, 711 found of 796 homes (first application October 2, 2014, last December 14, 2020), edition by application date, our analysis (City of Fort Myers, EnerGov).

Opening protection, home by home

GL Homes' new-home permits from 2018 to 2020 name the protection on each home, "SHUTTERS" on 110 and "IMPACT GLASS" on 34 of the permits that say. Owners have since pulled hundreds of shutter permits, accordion and roll-down screens among them. Which a given home has is on its permit history and its wind mitigation report.

Design wind speed and the debris region

Lee County's building code layer at the Marina Bay clubhouse returns a design wind speed of 160 mph for Risk Category II buildings and places the site in the wind-borne debris region (Lee County GIS, Wind speed zones). That is why storm panels or impact glass came standard; the permit drawings for each home carry its own design data.

Hurricane Ian in 2022

Ian made landfall on Cayo Costa at 130 knots on September 28, 2022, and the tide gauge near downtown Fort Myers measured 7.26 feet above mean higher high water (NOAA, Hurricane Ian report). At Marina Bay, zone X and inland, City permits that name Ian are five screen-enclosure replacements, one re-roof on Riverstone Ln and two clubhouse French doors "ripped off by Hurricane Ian." Permits do not always name a cause, so that is a floor, not a count. We found no public record of flooding inside Marina Bay in Ian.

Milton and Helene in 2024

Milton made landfall at Siesta Key on October 10, 2024 at 100 knots; the nearest official wind reading to Marina Bay, at Southwest Florida International Airport, was a 56-knot gust (NOAA, Hurricane Milton report). No City permit on a Marina Bay street names Milton or Helene.

The stormwater system through the 2024 storms

The Arborwood CDD's field inspector told the board in November 2024 that "there had been two major weather events and the system functioned as designed with no issues," with 24 inches more rain than typical for the year (Arborwood CDD, December 16, 2024 meeting book). That statement covers the district's master system, of which Marina Bay's lakes are a part.

What Should Marina Bay Owners Know About Insurance?

Marina Bay owners insure 2015 to 2021 concrete block homes with tile roofs in FEMA zone X. No federal flood purchase rule applies there, but lenders, Citizens' phased flood rule, Florida's roof-age law, the wind mitigation report and, on a twin villa, the declaration's shared-roof terms decide most of what a policy requires.

Flood insurance in zone X

Zone X is outside the Special Flood Hazard Area, so federal law does not require flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage, though a lender may still ask for it. NFIP policies inside the City of Fort Myers carry the CRS Class 6 discount of up to 20 percent.

Citizens' flood requirement schedule

Citizens Property Insurance requires flood coverage on its wind policies outside the high-risk zone on a phased schedule: from January 1, 2026 for dwellings with Coverage A of $400,000 or more, and from January 1, 2027 for all policies regardless of value (Citizens, Flood). Coverage A is replacement cost, not sale price.

Roof age and Florida's 15-year rule

Florida law bars an insurer from refusing to issue or renew a homeowner's policy solely because of the age of a roof less than 15 years old, or of an older roof that an authorized inspection shows has 5 or more years of life left (s. 627.7011). Marina Bay's original tile roofs date from 2015 to 2021, so the oldest reach 15 years in 2030.

Wind mitigation credits

Florida requires insurers to offer discounts for hurricane mitigation features documented on the state's Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form, updated effective April 1, 2026 and valid for up to five years (Florida OIR, Wind Mitigation Resources). For a GL Homes house here the form records the tile roof covering, roof deck and roof-to-wall attachment and the opening protection; take a current report to your agent.

Twin villas and the shared roof

A twin villa owner insures a fee-simple home that shares a roof and a party wall. Who insures and repairs which part is set by the recorded declaration and the association's villa provisions, which we could not read; read them, and match your policy to them, before you close.

No condominium milestone duty

Because Marina Bay has no condominium regime, Florida's condominium milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules do not apply to its villa buildings. The association's own reserves are a budget question for the estoppel and the financial report.

The 50 percent rule after storm damage

The City of Fort Myers treats improvements or repairs whose cost reaches 50 percent of a building's market value as substantial, which triggers current floodplain rules (City of Fort Myers, CRS). In zone X it matters less than in a high-risk zone, but it still governs a major rebuild.

What Schools Serve Marina Bay?

Every Marina Bay address we checked falls in the School District of Lee County's Elementary Zone J, Middle School Zone EE and High School East Zone, sub-zone E-2, for 2026-2027, by the district's own boundary application at six points across all three plats. Lee County is a choice district, so enrollment requests rank the schools within each zone.

The zones for 2026-2027

We queried the district's 2026-27 boundary application at both villa sections, the single-family streets north and south, and the clubhouse; all returned the same three zones, and a control address elsewhere in Fort Myers returned different ones (School District of Lee County, School Zones; SchoolSite Locator 2026-27).

FLDOE grades for the zone schools

The Florida Department of Education's 2026 school grades for the zone schools are below; the district reports 24 A schools and no D or F school (FLDOE, School Grades; School District of Lee County, 2025-2026 School Grades Report). A grade is a one-year state formula.

High school busing from sub-zone E-2

For 2026-2027 the district busing from sub-zone E-2 goes to Gateway, Lehigh Senior, Riverdale, Dunbar and East Lee County high schools. A student may still choose another high school for its programs, but without district transportation (School District of Lee County, Transportation Optimization).

Charter options nearby

The district's charter directory lists Gateway Charter School, VPK to 12, on Commonwealth Drive in 33913, graded A for 2026 and about 3.9 route miles from the gate (School District of Lee County, Charter Schools). Seats are by application to the school.

A new PreK-8 school planned to the south

Lee County has issued development order DOS2025-00106 for a PreK to 8th grade school for about 1,555 students, two buildings of 142,058 square feet, about 0.75 mile south of the Marina Bay clubhouse (Lee County GIS, Development Orders). Its operator, name, opening year and attendance zone are not public yet, so no Marina Bay assignment to it is implied.

How choice works

Applications go through the district during the open enrollment window and rank the schools of the zone. Confirm busing and the zone for a specific address with the district's Student Enrollment office before relying on it.

How Close Is Marina Bay to Hospitals, Fire and EMS?

Marina Bay is about 6.3 route miles from Lee Health's Gulf Coast Medical Center, a Level II trauma center with an emergency department, and inside the City's Fire Station 15 response zone on Treeline Avenue, with Lee County EMS Medic 23 at the same station. The City plans Fire Station 18 nearby.

Gulf Coast Medical Center

Lee Health's Gulf Coast Medical Center on Doctors Way houses the system's trauma and emergency center, which Lee Health describes as a Level II trauma center; it is about 6.3 route miles and 11 minutes without traffic from the Marina Bay gate (Lee Health, Gulf Coast Medical Center; Lee Health, Emergency Medicine).

Other hospitals

Lee Memorial Hospital's emergency department is about 10.3 route miles away, and HealthPark Medical Center, with emergency care at Golisano Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida, about 11.5 miles (Lee Health, HealthPark ED). We found no freestanding emergency room on Treeline Avenue or Daniels Parkway in the records we searched.

Fire and EMS today

Lee County's public safety layers put Marina Bay in Fire Station Response Zone 15, served by City of Fort Myers Fire Station 15 on Treeline Avenue, about 2.5 route miles north of the gate, where Lee County EMS Medic 23 also operates around the clock (Lee County GIS, Fire Station Response Zones; Lee County GIS, EMS Stations).

Fire Station 18, planned

The City's adopted capital program describes Fire Station 18 as "a Micro Station off Treeline Avenue" that "will provide better response times to the Arborwood, Pelican Preserve, Marina Bay, Bridgetown & Plantation Gardens neighborhoods," with $550,000 of fire impact fees and $1,570,200 of line of credit in fiscal 2026 (City of Fort Myers, Five Year CIP). A Lee County permit for Treeline Avenue median changes for fire trucks sits about 0.05 mile south of the Marina Bay entrance. No opening date is published.

How Long Are the Drives From Marina Bay?

Marina Bay's gate on Treeline Avenue is about 2.5 route miles from I-75 exit 131, 4.7 from the RSW terminal and 3.5 from JetBlue Park, with downtown Fort Myers about 10.4 miles and Fort Myers Beach about 16.5. These are free-flow figures from routing on OpenStreetMap data; season and roadwork add time.

The drive table

Source: OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap data from the Silver Ridge Blvd and Treeline Ave entrance, October 28, 2026 (OSRM; US Census Geocoder). The router has no traffic model.

I-75 at Daniels Parkway

Exit 131 is Marina Bay's interstate door, and FDOT is rebuilding it as a diverging diamond interchange: about $42.8 million, construction started in early 2026, estimated completion summer 2028, with night lane closures (FDOT District One, 446296-2). Expect slower trips on Daniels Parkway until then.

The airport run

The RSW terminal is about 4.7 route miles from the gate, closer than from most of Fort Myers. The Lee County Port Authority reports more than 11.1 million passengers in 2025, the best year in the airport's history, and a 14-gate Concourse E due by the end of 2027 (Lee County Port Authority, 2026 Airport Industry Day). Lee County's airport noise layer shows no noise zone at Marina Bay.

Season matters

From January to April, Daniels Parkway, Treeline Avenue and I-75 carry far more traffic than free-flow routing assumes. Use the table for distance, and leave time.

What Is Being Built Near Marina Bay?

Near Marina Bay, the changes on the public record are the I-75 and Daniels Parkway interchange rebuild to summer 2028, City Fire Station 18, the Treeline 115 project with 376 rental homes, Arborwood Village commerce, a PreK-8 school about 0.75 mile south, a 46-acre City park and preserve, and the RSW terminal expansion.

Treeline 115

Lee County rezoned 115 acres south of Marina Bay as the Treeline 115 mixed planned development in 2019 for up to 487 dwelling units and 100,000 square feet of commercial space, issued development order DOS2022-00211 for "376 residential rental units," and is reviewing a 2026 amendment, ADD2026-00176 (Lee County GIS, Zoning Cases; Lee County GIS, Development Orders). More traffic on Treeline Avenue is the plain consequence.

Arborwood Village

Farther south toward Daniels Parkway, the Arborwood Village planned development carries a 153-unit multifamily order, a 15,340 square foot retail center, self storage, a 115-room hotel, a 12,000 square foot early learning school and a temporary Lee County EMS station (Lee County GIS, Planned Developments).

The PreK-8 school

Development order DOS2025-00106 covers a PreK to 8th grade school for about 1,555 students roughly 0.75 mile south of the Marina Bay clubhouse. Its operator and opening year are not yet public.

A City park and preserve at 13200 Treeline

The City annexed 15.36 acres at 13200 Treeline Avenue on July 20, 2026, adjoining 30.83 acres it had already annexed, for a 46-acre park and preserve with a large lake, wetlands and upland preserve; Lee County's annexation layer records it as Ordinance 4094 (Lee County GIS, City Limits Annexations; Gulfshore Business, July 21, 2026). A park name and opening date are not set.

Roads, signals and sidewalks

Beyond the exit 131 rebuild, the City's capital program funds a traffic signal at Treeline Avenue and Plantation Gardens Drive ($1,650,000 across fiscal 2027 and 2028), and the Lee MPO program lists a Treeline Avenue sidewalk from Jetport Loop to Heartwood Boulevard (City of Fort Myers, Five Year CIP; Lee MPO, Transportation Improvement Program).

City water on Treeline Avenue

In February 2024 a break on a 24-inch City water main on Treeline Avenue led to a precautionary boil-water notice for homes from Forum Boulevard to Daniels Parkway, Marina Bay among them; it was lifted after sampling (WGCU, February 26, 2024). The City's capital program carries water plant expansion and reclaimed water projects.

What is not changing inside Marina Bay

No rezoning, plat or site plan for land inside Marina Bay surfaced in City or county records for 2024 to 2026. The community is built out and its zoning is set.

What Is There to Do Near Marina Bay?

Near Marina Bay, two major league spring training parks are within about 11 minutes, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve's boardwalk is about 1.6 miles away as the crow flies, Gulf Coast Town Center sits in the same ZIP code, and downtown Fort Myers, FGCU and the Gulf beaches are 15 to 30 minutes out.

Spring training

JetBlue Park, the Boston Red Sox spring home, opened February 25, 2012, with a capacity of about 11,000 including standing room and the berm, about 3.5 route miles from the gate; Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex, spring home of the Minnesota Twins since 1991, is about 6.1 miles (Lee County, JetBlue Park; Lee County, Lee Health Sports Complex; Boston Red Sox, Spring Training; Minnesota Twins, Spring Training).

Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve

The county preserve covers more than 3,500 acres of wetlands and uplands with a 1.2-mile elevated boardwalk, an interpretive center and guided walks (Lee County, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve). It is about 1.6 miles from the clubhouse in a straight line, but the drive to the interpretive center runs about 6 miles around the slough.

Lakes Park and Manatee Park

Lakes Park, a county regional park with trails, a splash pad, rentals and a seasonal farmers market, is about 8.1 route miles away; Manatee Park, a warm-water refuge where manatees gather mostly from late December to March, about 10.9 (Lee County, Lakes Park; Lee County, Manatee Park).

Shopping

Gulf Coast Town Center, in Marina Bay's own 33913 ZIP code, lists Bass Pro Shops, SuperTarget, Costco Wholesale and its restaurants, about 6.4 route miles from the gate (Gulf Coast Town Center). The nearest Publix is the Sky Walk store on Paul J Doherty Parkway, about 4.8 miles; Bell Tower is about 7.1 miles.

Downtown, culture and the university

Downtown Fort Myers' River District is about 10.4 route miles away, and the Edison and Ford Winter Estates about 11.0 (Edison and Ford Winter Estates). Florida Gulf Coast University, founded in 1991 as Florida's 10th state university, is about 8.3 miles (FGCU, About).

Beaches and state parks

Fort Myers Beach is about 29 minutes without traffic and the Sanibel Causeway about 30. Lovers Key State Park south of Fort Myers Beach charges $8 a vehicle and offers more than two miles of beach (Florida State Parks, Lovers Key).

How Do Daily Logistics Work in Marina Bay?

Daily life in Marina Bay runs on City of Fort Myers water, sewer and solid waste, cluster mailboxes at the club, an association-run gate with an owner guest list, and private roads and lakes the association maintains. Leasing, pet, vehicle, fence and shutter rules sit in the declaration and rules, which are not public.

Utilities

Water and sewer come from the City of Fort Myers Utilities, billed monthly at the FY2027 rates in the fee stack section. Electric service is not described in any record we read for this page.

Trash and recycling

Solid waste is collected under the City's Solid Waste Area 9 and charged on the tax bill. The association's document list includes an outdoor trash bin policy; collection days come from the City.

Mail

Marina Bay homes use cluster mailboxes at the clubhouse, by the association's own description, as captured in December 2024, of the fitness center entrance "near the mailboxes."

Leasing, pets and vehicles

Marina Bay's leasing minimums, pet limits and vehicle, boat and RV rules are in the recorded declaration, the Fourth Amended and Restated Rules and Regulations and the lease policy, none of which we could read. Florida's limits on later rental amendments, in the governance section, still apply.

Architectural changes, fences and shutters

City permits show 4-foot aluminum fences with gates installed on Marina Bay lots from 2016 to 2019, hundreds of shutter permits, and pool and screen-enclosure permits. The association's own architectural standards are not public; get its approval before you apply for a City permit.

Landscaping

The association's FAQ, as captured in December 2024, says "Juniper provides the landscaping for the community." Ask the estoppel and the budget which areas the association maintains and which are each owner's.

How Does Marina Bay Compare With Nearby Communities?

Marina Bay sits mid-pack among its gated Fort Myers neighbors on the county record: its $490,000 12-month median is above Botanica Lakes next door and close to Reflection Isles, below Arborwood Preserve's single-family plats, and well below Paseo's single-family homes, with a CDD line that Botanica Lakes shares and Arborwood Preserve also pays.

The benchmark, same county basis

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, cstats on each community's recorded legal descriptions, our analysis; 12 months is September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026. Products differ: Marina Bay mixes villas with four lot widths, Botanica Lakes is single-family on 40 and 52-foot lots, and the Paseo figure excludes its condominiums.

Botanica Lakes

Botanica Lakes is GL Homes' earlier gated community next door on Treeline Avenue, about 0.9 route miles north, with its own association and clubhouse and recorded sales back to 2006. It shares the Arborwood CDD's Parcel A with Marina Bay. Its 12-month median was $437,500 on 32 sales, $52,500 below Marina Bay's.

Arborwood Preserve

Arborwood Preserve shares the Arborwood master plan and the CDD with Marina Bay, on its own boulevard off Treeline Avenue. Its single-family plats recorded 31 sales at a $565,000 median, with a higher price per square foot of heated area, $274.03, than Marina Bay's $233.90.

Paseo

Paseo is a larger gated Fort Myers community nearby with condominiums and single-family homes. Its single-family homes recorded only 8 sales in the 12 months; over 24 months they sold at a $675,000 median, a different price tier from most of Marina Bay.

Reflection Isles

Reflection Isles is another gated City of Fort Myers community without golf, in ZIP 33912. Its 12-month median of $495,000 on 31 sales sits within $5,000 of Marina Bay's, which makes it the closest price match of the four.

Marina Bay vs Botanica Lakes: Which Fits Your Plans?

Marina Bay and Botanica Lakes are GL Homes' two gated neighbors on Treeline Avenue in the same Arborwood CDD parcel, so the choice is about product and age, not location: Marina Bay is newer (2015 to 2021) and adds twin villas and 45 and 62-foot lots, while Botanica Lakes is older, single-family only and lower in price.

Sources: Lee County record, our analysis; Arborwood CDD, Final Budget FY2026/2027.

Size and product

Marina Bay is the larger of the two and the only one with twin villas and with 45-foot and 62-foot lots. A buyer who wants a one-story villa or a wide 62-foot lot has that choice only in Marina Bay; a buyer who wants a 40-foot single-family home finds it only in Botanica Lakes.

Prices on the county record

Marina Bay's 12-month median was $52,500 higher than Botanica Lakes', and its median price per heated square foot $50.86 higher, which tracks the newer homes. Over 24 months the gap was $75,000 ($490,000 against $415,000).

Fees

The CDD lines overlap: a 52-foot lot pays $465.72 in either community because the district prices by lot width. Each community has its own association, and neither publishes its dues, so compare estoppel figures directly.

Who should weigh which

Weigh Marina Bay if a newer home, a twin villa or a 62-foot lot matters more than price. Weigh Botanica Lakes if a lower entry price on a single-family home matters more than age. Either way the location is the same Treeline Avenue address book.

Why Buy in Marina Bay? Honest Pros and Cons

Buying in Marina Bay means a newer GL Homes house behind a staffed gate, close to I-75 and RSW, in flood zone X, at a $490,000 median, against a CDD line that runs to 2036, unpublished association dues, a declaration buyers must read themselves and no golf or water access despite the name.

What the record supports

• Homes built 2015 to 2021, mostly under the 2014 and 2017 Florida Building Codes, with concrete block and tile roofs.
• FEMA zone X at every point checked, with no pending map change, and evacuation zone D.
• A staffed gatehouse, one entrance, and an association-owned club with three pools and courts.
• Four products and price bands, from twin villas in the $400,000s to Coastal and Pacific homes in the $600,000s and $700,000s.
• About 2.5 miles to I-75, 4.7 to the airport and two spring training parks within about 11 minutes.

What to weigh

• The Arborwood CDD line, $349.72 to $505.72 a year, carries bond debt to May 2036.
• Association dues, leasing, pet and villa maintenance rules are not public; you read them in the estoppel and the declaration.
• No golf course, no marina and no beach access inside the community.
• Treeline Avenue is growing south of the gate, with Treeline 115's 376 rental homes and commercial development, and the exit 131 rebuild runs to 2028.
• Twin villa owners share a roof and a party wall with a neighbor.

Thinking of Selling Your Marina Bay Home? List With the #1 Team in Southwest Florida Since 2012

If you're searching for the best Marina Bay listing agent, or thinking, 'I need to sell my house in Marina Bay...', start with the record: 43 Lee County recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, a $490,000 median, $375,000 to $772,500, all resales. We price every Marina Bay listing from that record and your model.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; county roll dated October 25, 2026).

Selling in Marina Bay is a documents job as much as a marketing job. A buyer will ask what the association charges, and it does not publish its dues; which CDD class the lot pays, from $349.72 to $505.72; how old the tile roof is, on homes built 2015 to 2021; whether the house has storm panels or impact glass; and, on a villa, who maintains the shared roof. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar answer those questions in the listing file before the first showing, and price from the Lee County record rather than from a portal estimate. Our Marina Bay home selling guide walks through each step, and for the wider city see selling a home in Fort Myers.

Pricing by collection, lot and lake

A Marina Bay price starts with the GL Homes model and its county heated area, then the lot: villa, 45, 52 or 62-foot, lake or interior, pool or not. The 12-month list shows twelve sales of the 2,242 square foot Cayman plan between $390,000 and $585,000, so we match on plan, lot and pool before condition, and we price against a longer window when the last year has too few matches, as it does for Pacific homes: 3 sales in 24 months, 8 in 36 months at a $727,500 median.

How we market a Marina Bay listing

Every listing gets professional photography, drone and cinematic video, a qualified-buyer database and, when it serves you, off-market discretion. For Marina Bay we add the GL Homes model and collection, the CDD class and its 2036 bond date, the shutter or impact-glass record and the club, because those are the questions buyers bring.

Documents to have ready

Have ready your most recent tax bill showing the CDD line, a current wind mitigation report, roof and permit history, any elevation certificate, the homeowners association disclosure summary required by Florida law, and the association's governing documents downloaded from the owner portal, including the Villa Maintenance Policy for a villa. Ask the association early for the estoppel certificate so dues and any resale charge are known.

Closing costs in Lee County

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the deed's documentary stamp tax, $0.70 per $100 of price, and the owner's title insurance policy at the state's promulgated rate; the contract controls. On a $490,000 sale, the 12-month median, that is $3,430.00 in stamps and about $2,525.00 in title premium, $5,955.00 together, before commission, the estoppel fee, prorated taxes and closing fees.

Seller questions we hear first

What is my home worth? It depends on the model, the lot width, the lake and pool, the roof and shutter package and the condition; ask for a free home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

When should I list? Season brings buyers to Fort Myers; we weigh it against the resales listed around you rather than predict a market.

Will buyers ask about the CDD? Every time. Your tax bill shows the line; we explain the lot class and the 2036 bond date in the listing.

Who orders the estoppel? Usually the buyer's title company; we make sure it is ordered early because it states the dues.

Do I compete with GL Homes? No. GL Homes sold its last new homes here in 2021; your competition is other resales.

Can we sell off-market? Yes, with discretion, to buyers from our database, when that serves you better.

Frequently Asked Questions: Buyer Edition

Marina Bay buyers ask about the location, the homes and twin villas, the association, the CDD fee stack, the flood map, the club and gate, schools and distances. Each answer below repeats a fact from the body with the same source: the Lee County record, the Arborwood CDD, the City of Fort Myers, FEMA and the school district.

Where is Marina Bay in Fort Myers?

Marina Bay is on the west side of Treeline Avenue between Daniels Parkway and Colonial Boulevard in southeast Fort Myers, with I-75 along its western edge behind a 14-foot concrete wall. The gate is on Silver Ridge Boulevard at Treeline Avenue, about 2.5 route miles from I-75 exit 131 and 4.7 miles from the Southwest Florida International Airport terminal.

Is Marina Bay in the City of Fort Myers?

Yes. Every point we checked falls inside the City of Fort Myers by both the Census geocoder and Lee County's city-limits layer, in LEEPA tax district 090. The Arborwood land was annexed into the City in 2003, so City property taxes, the City fire rescue assessment, City stormwater and City water and sewer apply.

What ZIP code is Marina Bay in?

Marina Bay is in ZIP code 33913, the same ZIP code as Gulf Coast Town Center, JetBlue Park and much of the Daniels Parkway and Treeline Avenue corridor. The mailing city is Fort Myers, and the community is inside the City of Fort Myers rather than unincorporated Lee County.

Is Marina Bay a gated community?

Yes. Marina Bay has a staffed gatehouse on Silver Ridge Boulevard just inside its only road connection at Treeline Avenue. GL Homes built an "Elevated Main Entrance with a Staffed Gatehouse," the association's FAQ lists a guard gate phone and a TekControl guest list, and Lee County's subdivision layer flags the community as gated. Staffing hours are not published.

How many homes are in Marina Bay?

Marina Bay has 796 homes on three recorded plats, with plat lots numbered 1 to 796, by Lee County's parcel layer; the association and the Arborwood CDD both count 796. The county sales index holds 788 of them, because 8 homes with withheld addresses are not linked to it, so every sales figure on this page covers 788 homes.

Who built Marina Bay, and when?

GL Homes built every home in Marina Bay from 2015 to 2021, with the seller named on its 2015 pages as Lee County Homes Associates III, LLLP. Site work began in 2014 under the name Botanica South, sales opened in early 2015, the clubhouse was finished in 2017, and GL Homes' last new-home sales were in 2021.

Is GL Homes still building in Marina Bay?

No. GL Homes' builder-direct sales ended in 2021 by the county tool's estimate, the newest homes date from 2021, and no vacant lot remains on the county roll. Every Marina Bay sale today is a resale, and GL Homes' 2020 notices of "over 700 homes sold" and a "countdown to sellout" are history.

What types of homes are in Marina Bay?

Marina Bay has four GL Homes collections: Atlantic twin villas (246 halves), Baltic homes on 45-foot lots (267), Coastal homes on 52-foot lots (245) and Pacific homes on 62-foot lots (32), plus 6 homes not matched to a model. County heated area runs from 1,442 square feet on the smallest villa to 4,192 on the largest Coastal plan.

What is a twin villa in Marina Bay?

A Marina Bay twin villa is one half of a one-story, two-unit building, held in fee simple on its own platted lot, not a condominium. There are 246 halves in 123 buildings, on Five Waters Cir, the Plat Three end of Lakewood Preserve Pl and Meadowrun Cir. Villa halves share a roof and a party wall with the neighbor.

What floor plans did GL Homes build in Marina Bay?

By our match of county heated area to GL Homes models, the most common plans are the Cayman (139 homes), the Nantucket villa (103), the Monaco villa (75), the Grenada (71) and the Montego (59), the largest plan at 4,190 heated square feet with six bedrooms. GL Homes listed 19 designs at launch in 2015 and added the York, Sierra, Aruba and Rose by 2019.

What did homes in Marina Bay sell for in the last 12 months?

In the 12 months to September 25, 2026 the Lee County record shows 43 Marina Bay sales at a $490,000 median, from $375,000 to $772,500, all resales: 29 single-family homes at $525,000 and 14 twin villas at $412,500. The median price per square foot of county heated area was $233.90, on 788 of the 796 homes.

What do twin villas sell for compared with single-family homes?

Over the same 12 months, twin villas sold from $375,000 to $535,000 at a $412,500 median, $236.94 per heated square foot, and single-family homes from $390,000 to $772,500 at $525,000, $220.79 per square foot. Villas cost more per square foot because they are smaller; most villa sales were the 1,646 square foot Nantucket plan.

What did GL Homes originally charge in Marina Bay?

GL Homes' January 2015 pages listed base prices from $225,900 for an Atlantic twin villa, $275,900 for a Baltic home, $289,900 for a Coastal home and $399,900 for a Pacific home, before options and lot premiums; by August 2019 villas started at $252,900. Those are historic builder prices, never a current value.

Are there lake lots in Marina Bay?

Yes. By our measurement 448 of the 796 homes, about 56 percent, sit within 25 feet of a platted lake tract, and Five Waters Cir has 79 of its 108 villa halves beside a lake. A lake tract includes banks and easements, so confirm the view and any easement on the survey rather than from the map.

Is there a CDD in Marina Bay?

Yes. Every Marina Bay home is in the Arborwood Community Development District, which bills one line on the county tax bill: $349.72 for a twin villa, $442.72 for a 45-foot lot, $465.72 for a 52-foot lot and $505.72 for a 62-foot lot in fiscal 2026-2027, each $52.72 of operations plus Series 2018 bond debt.

When does the Marina Bay CDD debt end?

The debt share repays the Arborwood CDD's Series 2018 A-1 and A-2 bonds, which mature in May 2036. Unless a lot is prepaid or the bonds are refunded, the debt share runs through the district's fiscal year ending September 30, 2036; after that only the operations share, $52.72 in fiscal 2026-2027, remains.

Can I pay off the CDD assessment in Marina Bay?

Yes. The Arborwood CDD routes payoff requests through its district manager's request form, and one Marina Bay 45-foot lot already shows as paid off, paying only the $52.72 operations share. The payoff figure for a given lot comes only from the district's payoff letter, so we do not estimate one.

How much are HOA fees in Marina Bay?

Marina Bay's association dues are not published in any public record we could read, and the association's live site returned an error on October 28, 2026. The estoppel certificate states the dues, any villa maintenance charge and any special assessment for a specific home; Florida caps its standard fee at $299 and requires delivery within 10 business days.

Who manages the Marina Bay HOA?

The association is Marina Bay of Fort Myers Homeowners Association, Inc. Its home page, as captured in February 2025, listed Castle Group as the management company, and a 2024 City permit was issued "per Marina Bay Management." Confirm the current manager on the estoppel request, because the association's live site was down when we checked.

What are the property taxes in Marina Bay?

Marina Bay is in Lee County tax district 090, whose final 2026 millage is 16.9702 mills, or $16.97 per $1,000 of taxable value. On a $400,000 taxable value that is $6,788.08 before the CDD line, the City fire assessment of $239.80, stormwater and solid waste. Taxable value resets after a sale, so use the parcel's bill.

What is the City of Fort Myers fire assessment?

The City of Fort Myers fire rescue assessment is $239.80 per residential dwelling unit for fiscal year 2026-2027, a 10 percent rise across all categories, set at the City's September 9, 2026 final rate hearing. It is a flat charge on the tax bill, not tied to value, and each twin-villa half is one dwelling unit.

What is the stormwater fee in Marina Bay?

The City's stormwater user fee is $2.16 a month per 500 square feet of roof, driveway, patio and other hard surface, rounded down, billed yearly on the tax bill. It differs by home: 2,000 square feet of hard surface is 4 units, $103.68 a year, and 3,000 square feet is 6 units, $155.52.

Is golf membership required in Marina Bay?

No. Marina Bay has no golf course and no golf membership; none of its 38 common tracts is golf. The nearest course on Lee County's golf layer is Plantation Golf and Country Club, about 1.2 route miles away, and the City's public courses, Eastwood and Fort Myers Country Club, are about 6.0 and 11.3 miles.

Does Marina Bay have a marina or boat access?

No. Despite the name, Marina Bay has no marina, dock, canal, seawall or tidal water; its 16 lakes are freshwater stormwater lakes owned by the association. The nearest public boat ramp on Lee County's parks layer is Davis Boat Ramp on the Caloosahatchee, about 13.1 route miles from the gate.

What amenities does the Marina Bay clubhouse have?

As captured in December 2024, the association listed a social room with a catering kitchen, game and card rooms, a multipurpose room, an indoor sport court, a 24-hour fitness center, a resort pool, a lap pool, a splash zone, a covered tot lot, and basketball, tennis and pickleball courts. The roll records 10,181 square feet of heated area; GL Homes marketed 12,491 to 12,750 square feet.

What flood zone is Marina Bay in?

Marina Bay is in FEMA flood zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, at all eight points we checked, on panel 12071C0433G effective December 7, 2018, within Lee County's countywide map dated November 17, 2022. No letter of map change covers the community, and Lee County's 2027 map revision does not touch that panel.

Do I need flood insurance in Marina Bay?

Federal law does not require flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage in zone X, but a lender may still ask for it, and Citizens requires flood coverage on its wind policies outside the high-risk zone for Coverage A of $400,000 or more from January 1, 2026 and on all policies from January 1, 2027. City NFIP policies get up to 20 percent off.

Did Marina Bay flood in Hurricane Ian?

We found no public record of flooding inside Marina Bay in Ian. City permits that name Ian on Marina Bay streets are five screen-enclosure replacements, one re-roof and two clubhouse French doors, and the Arborwood CDD reported its stormwater system functioned as designed through the 2024 storms. Permits do not always name a cause, so that is a floor.

What hurricane evacuation zone is Marina Bay in?

Lee County's emergency management layers place every Marina Bay point in evacuation zone D and surge zone 4. Zone D is called after zones A, B and C in Lee County's lettering, and the county announces which shelters open storm by storm, so check Lee County's emergency notices when a storm approaches.

What is the CRS discount for Marina Bay flood insurance?

The City of Fort Myers is a Community Rating System Class 6 community, current class effective October 1, 2025, so NFIP flood policies on Marina Bay homes get up to a 20 percent discount. The discount applies only to NFIP policies, not to wind or private flood coverage.

How are Marina Bay homes built for hurricanes?

GL Homes built concrete block first floors, wood frame second floors on two-story plans, concrete tile roofs and Low E windows engineered for wind load, with steel storm panels or impact glass. The homes were permitted under the 2010, 2014 and 2017 Florida Building Codes, and Lee County maps the site at 160 mph design wind in the wind-borne debris region.

What schools serve Marina Bay?

For 2026-2027 every Marina Bay address we checked is in Elementary Zone J (Colonial, Gateway, Ray V. Pottorf and Treeline), Middle School Zone EE (Fort Myers Middle Academy, James Stephens and Paul Laurence Dunbar) and High School East Zone E-2 (Gateway, Lehigh Senior and Riverdale). Gateway High earned an A for 2026; Treeline Elementary is about 2.3 route miles away.

How far is Marina Bay from the airport?

The Southwest Florida International Airport terminal is about 4.7 route miles from the Marina Bay gate, about 10 minutes without traffic. Lee County's airport noise layer shows no noise zone at Marina Bay, and the Port Authority's 14-gate Concourse E is due by the end of 2027.

How far is Marina Bay from the beach?

Fort Myers Beach at Times Square is about 16.5 route miles from the Marina Bay gate, about 29 minutes without traffic; the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza about 17.9 miles and 30 minutes; and Bonita Beach Park about 23.8 miles and 32 minutes. Season adds time on all three routes.

What hospital is closest to Marina Bay?

Lee Health's Gulf Coast Medical Center, with the system's Level II trauma and emergency center, is about 6.3 route miles from the Marina Bay gate, about 11 minutes without traffic. Lee Memorial Hospital is about 10.3 miles and HealthPark Medical Center, with Golisano Children's Hospital emergency care, about 11.5.

Is Marina Bay a 55+ community?

No record we read states an age restriction for Marina Bay, and this page makes no claim either way; the recorded declaration governs. The association's rule, as published in December 2024, that the splash zone and tot lot are for children 12 and under is a facility rule, not a community age rule.

Can you rent out a home in Marina Bay?

Marina Bay's leasing rules sit in the recorded declaration and the association's lease policy, which we could not read, so we do not state a minimum term. Florida law limits later rental amendments to owners who buy after them, except bans on leases under 6 months or more than three a year; ask for the lease policy before you buy.

Why does my Marina Bay deed say Botanica South?

Marina Bay's first plat, lots 1 to 371, is recorded as BOTANICA SOUTH, instrument 2014000185347, the working name GL Homes used for the 2014 site work. The marketing name changed to Marina Bay by 2015, but the plat name stayed on the legal description. It is Marina Bay, not the Botanica Lakes community next door.

How does Marina Bay compare with Botanica Lakes?

Both are GL Homes communities on Treeline Avenue in the same Arborwood CDD parcel, with separate associations and clubhouses. Marina Bay is newer, built 2015 to 2021, and adds twin villas and 45 and 62-foot lots; its 12-month median was $490,000 against $437,500 for Botanica Lakes, on 43 and 32 recorded sales.

Where can I see current Marina Bay listings?

Active listings come from the Southwest Florida MLS, which is not part of this page: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-28). You can browse Fort Myers listings on DomainRealtyGroup.com, or call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will send the active Marina Bay listings that match your plan and lot.

Frequently Asked Questions: Seller Edition

Marina Bay sellers ask what a home is worth, how fast it sells, what buyers will ask about the CDD, the dues and the roof, and what selling costs in Lee County. Each answer below repeats a fact from the body with the same source: the Lee County record, the Arborwood CDD, the City of Fort Myers and Florida law.

Who is the best listing agent for Marina Bay?

McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and lead the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012. We price Marina Bay listings from the 43 Lee County recorded sales of the last 12 months, matched by GL Homes model and lot width, and we answer the CDD, estoppel and villa questions in the listing file before the first showing.

What is my Marina Bay home worth?

It depends on the GL Homes model, the lot width, the lake and pool, the roof and shutter package and the condition. Twelve sales of the 2,242 square foot Cayman plan ran from $390,000 to $585,000 in 12 months, so we match on those before anything else. Ask for a free Marina Bay home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What did Marina Bay homes sell for in the last 12 months?

In the 12 months to September 25, 2026 the Lee County record shows 43 Marina Bay sales at a $490,000 median, from $375,000 to $772,500, all resales; the 24-month median was also $490,000 on 81 sales. Single-family homes sold at a $525,000 median and twin villas at $412,500, on 788 of the 796 homes.

What is the price per square foot in Marina Bay?

The 12-month median was $233.90 per square foot of county heated area across all 43 sales, $220.79 for single-family homes and $236.94 for twin villas. Individual sales ran from about $174 to about $272. County heated area is not the MLS living area or GL Homes' a/c figure, so compare like with like.

What does a Baltic, Coastal or Pacific home sell for?

By our model match, Baltic homes on 45-foot lots sold at a $492,500 median on 16 sales in 12 months, Coastal homes on 52-foot lots at $530,000 on 11 sales, and Pacific homes on 62-foot lots twice, at $705,000 and $772,500. Two Pacific sales are too few for a median, so we price them against 36 months of record.

What do Marina Bay twin villas sell for?

Fourteen twin villas sold in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 at a $412,500 median, from $375,000 to $535,000. Five Waters Cir villas, built 2015 to 2018, sold from $375,000 to $405,000, and Plat Three villas on Lakewood Preserve Pl, built 2018 to 2021, from $410,000 to $535,000.

How is the Marina Bay market for sellers right now?

On the county record, prices have settled since the 2022 and 2023 peaks: the blended median was $600,000 in both of those years and is $490,000 over the last 12 and the last 24 months, while sales have held at about 40 a year. Product and lot drive price more than street does.

How long does it take to sell a home in Marina Bay?

Days on market and sale-to-list ratio come from the Southwest Florida MLS, not the county record: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-28). We pull them for your plan and lot before we set a list price, and we show you the comparable sales by street, size and year built.

How many Marina Bay homes are for sale right now?

Active inventory and months of supply come from the Southwest Florida MLS: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-10-28). On the county record, Marina Bay averaged about 40 resales a year over the last two years, 81 in the 24 months to September 25, 2026.

Do lake lots sell for more in Marina Bay?

The record does not support a single lake premium. About 56 percent of Marina Bay homes adjoin a lake tract by our measurement, and same-plan sales vary by close to $200,000 on lake, pool and condition together. We price a lake lot from matched lake and non-lake sales of the same model, not from a rule of thumb.

Am I competing with GL Homes?

No. GL Homes sold its last new homes in Marina Bay in 2021 by the county tool's estimate, and no vacant lot remains on the roll. Your competition is other Marina Bay resales of similar plans, and nearby communities such as Botanica Lakes and Arborwood Preserve.

What will buyers ask about the CDD?

Buyers ask which CDD class the lot pays and when the debt ends. The fiscal 2026-2027 line is $349.72 for a twin villa, $442.72 for a 45-foot lot, $465.72 for a 52-foot lot and $505.72 for a 62-foot lot, and the Series 2018 bonds mature in May 2036. Your tax bill shows the line.

Should I pay off my CDD debt before I sell?

That is your choice, and the payoff figure comes only from the Arborwood CDD's payoff letter. Some buyers prefer a lower annual line, others prefer the lower price; the debt share ends with the bonds in May 2036 unless prepaid. We show buyers the line either way and negotiate it as part of the price.

Will buyers ask about my roof?

Yes. Marina Bay's original concrete tile roofs date from 2015 to 2021, and Florida law bars an insurer from refusing a policy solely because a roof is under 15 years old, so the oldest reach that line in 2030. Have the roof permit history and any repair records ready.

Do I need a wind mitigation report to sell?

It is not required to list, but buyers' insurers use it, and a current report on the state form, updated effective April 1, 2026 and valid for up to five years, answers the roof, attachment and opening-protection questions early. On a GL Homes house it records the tile roof and the storm panels or impact glass.

What does a buyer need to know about the flood zone?

That Marina Bay is in FEMA zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on panel 12071C0433G with no letter of map change, and that Citizens' phased flood rule applies to wind policies of $400,000 or more in 2026 and to all of its wind policies from January 1, 2027. Have any elevation certificate ready.

Is there a transfer or resale fee when selling in Marina Bay?

Any resale charge or capital contribution is set by the recorded declaration and appears on the estoppel certificate, which we could not read for this page. Florida caps the standard estoppel fee at $299 for a current account and requires delivery within 10 business days, so we order it early.

What estoppel certificate will I need?

The association's estoppel certificate under section 720.30851 states the dues, any villa charge, any special assessment and any resale or capital contribution for your home. The buyer's title company usually orders it; Florida caps the standard fee at $299 for a current account and requires delivery within 10 business days.

Does the HOA have to approve my buyer?

Marina Bay's association lists a sale application among its documents, so expect an application step; its terms sit in the declaration and rules, which we could not read. We check the current application and timeline with the association as soon as you list, so the closing date allows for it.

What does a Marina Bay seller have to disclose?

Florida requires the seller to give the homeowners association disclosure summary before the contract is signed (section 720.401), along with known material defects. We also put the CDD line, the estoppel figures, the roof and shutter permit history and, for a villa, the villa provisions in front of buyers early.

Who pays title insurance in Lee County?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the owner's title insurance policy and the deed's documentary stamp tax, $0.70 per $100; the contract controls. At the state's promulgated rate, the owner's policy on a $490,000 sale is about $2,525.00, and the stamps $3,430.00.

How much does it cost to sell a house in Marina Bay?

Beyond commission, a Lee County seller customarily pays documentary stamps of $0.70 per $100 and the owner's title policy: about $5,025.00 together on a $412,500 villa, $5,955.00 on a $490,000 home and $6,375.00 on a $525,000 single-family home, before the estoppel fee, prorated taxes and closing fees.

How do you market a Marina Bay home to qualified buyers?

Professional photography, drone and cinematic video, a qualified-buyer database and, when it serves you, off-market discretion, plus the facts Marina Bay buyers ask for: the GL Homes model and collection, the CDD class and 2036 bond date, the shutter or impact-glass record, the club and the staffed gate.

Can we list off-market in Marina Bay?

Yes. When discretion serves you better, we can offer a Marina Bay home discreetly to qualified buyers in our database before, or instead of, a public listing. We price it from the same Lee County record either way, so an off-market sale is not a discounted one.

Does a twin villa sell differently from a single-family home?

Yes. Villa buyers ask who maintains and insures the shared roof and party wall, what the Villa Maintenance Policy says and what the estoppel shows for any villa charge. Villas sold at a $412,500 median in 12 months against $525,000 for single-family homes, and they trade in their own band.

Does it matter that Marina Bay is in the City of Fort Myers?

Yes, for the tax bill and services. City property taxes at 16.9702 mills, the $239.80 City fire assessment and the City stormwater fee apply, and the City provides water, sewer, solid waste, fire and police. Buyers comparing an unincorporated community should compare the whole bill, not the millage alone.

What is happening on Treeline Avenue near Marina Bay?

FDOT is rebuilding I-75 at Daniels Parkway as a diverging diamond until summer 2028, the City plans Fire Station 18 off Treeline Avenue, Treeline 115 has an order for 376 rental homes to the south, and a PreK-8 school and a 46-acre City park and preserve are planned nearby.

How does Marina Bay compare with Botanica Lakes for resale?

Marina Bay's 12-month median was $490,000 on 43 sales against $437,500 on 32 in Botanica Lakes, and its median per heated square foot $233.90 against $183.04. Marina Bay is newer and adds villas and 45 and 62-foot lots; both pay the Arborwood CDD, at the same $465.72 on a 52-foot lot.

Should I sell now or wait?

We do not predict markets. On the record, Marina Bay's median has been $490,000 over both the last 12 and the last 24 months, below the 2022 and 2023 peaks, and resales run about 40 a year. We set your list price against the homes listed around you when you are ready.

Can I rent my Marina Bay home instead of selling?

Possibly, subject to the declaration and the association's lease policy, which we could not read, and to Florida's limits on later rental amendments. Read the lease policy and any approval step first; our team can show you what the house would likely sell for and what it would take to lease it.

What do Marina Bay buyers ask first?

They ask about the dues, which are not published; the CDD line for the lot; the roof age and storm protection; the flood zone; and, for a villa, the shared roof. Having the estoppel, the tax bill, the permit history and a wind mitigation report ready shortens every conversation.

Do you handle the estoppel and HOA paperwork?

Yes. We coordinate the estoppel request, the association's sale application and the HOA disclosure summary with the title company from the day you list, so dues, any villa charge and any resale charge are known before a buyer's inspection period ends.

Are there special assessments in Marina Bay?

No special assessment appears in any public record we read, but the association's budget and minutes sit behind the owner login. The estoppel certificate is the document that states any current or pending special assessment for your home, so we order it early.

Who is the best real estate agent in Fort Myers?
