Key Takeaways

Seven Lakes is a gated condominium community of 1,096 units in 30 recorded condominiums, where the building you choose matters more than the community name. These ten facts are the spine of the page, and each is expanded, dated and sourced in the sections below.

Data updated: November 2026 (sources named in each bullet and in the sections below).

• 1,096 condominium units in 30 condominiums. The Lee County roll carries 1,096 unit parcels plus 26 common-element parcels, 1,122 in all, and the association states the same 1,096 figure (Lee County Property Appraiser, October 28, 2026).
• A 55 and older community. The association's published lease form requires at least one permanent occupant age 55 or older in every unit, and persons under 18 may not reside in a unit more than 30 days in any 12-month period.
• Two building types. 858 units are in mid-rise buildings of three to six floors and 238 units are in one- and two-story villa-style condominiums, and the two trade at very different prices.
• Built 1971 to 1991. The median year built on the roll is 1976, the earliest buildings (Condos 2, 3 and 46) date to 1971 and the last villas (Condos 1, 50A, 50B and 52) to 1991.
• Mostly two bedrooms. The roll shows 195 one-bedroom, 834 two-bedroom and 67 three-bedroom units, with a median of 1,064 heated square feet and a range of 609 to 1,695.
• 65 recorded sales in 12 months. Lee County recorded 65 qualified sales to October 28, 2026 at a median of $109,000 ($108 per heated square foot), from $35,000 to $254,250.
• Mid-rise and villa prices are far apart. For 2026 to date the recorded median is $84,500 for 44 mid-rise sales and $224,900 for 17 villa-style sales (county parcel layer, October 28, 2026).
• Two layers of governance. Seven Lakes Association, Inc. owns the 85.99 acre golf course and common parcel, and each of the 30 condominiums has its own association and its own budget and reserves.
• A 120-day minimum lease. The association's Rental Procedures set a minimum rental period of 120 days, Board approval of each tenant, and a $150 non-refundable lease-processing fee.
• Milestone inspections are under way. The association's engineer reported 13 buildings passing Milestone Phase 1 on December 17, 2024, with Condos 3 and 25 in final Hurricane Ian repairs at that date.

What Is Seven Lakes, and Where Is It in Fort Myers?

Seven Lakes is a gated condominium community at 1965 Seven Lakes Boulevard, Fort Myers, Florida 33907, in unincorporated Lee County. It is 30 recorded condominiums under one master association, not a platted subdivision of lots, and the county files its planning record as the Leisure Village Seven Lakes DRI.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and parcel layer, October 28, 2026; Lee County planned development record; Seven Lakes Association).

Is Seven Lakes a city or part of Fort Myers?

Seven Lakes is not a city and is not inside the City of Fort Myers limits. The county roll carries a Fort Myers mailing city, the zoning area is ULC (unincorporated Lee County), and the county's future land use layer places the community in the South Fort Myers plan community with the category Intensive Development. For the wider market, our Fort Myers hub ties the neighborhoods together.

What ZIP code and address is Seven Lakes?

The community's address is 1965 Seven Lakes Boulevard, Fort Myers, Florida 33907, which is the golf and common parcel and the association office (Lee County Property Appraiser). The county roll carries ZIP 33907 on all but two parcels, which show 33908. The association's newsletter lists the office phone as (239) 482-4540.

How big is Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes has 1,096 condominium units, 26 common-element parcels and one large golf and common parcel of 85.99 acres. The county's planned development record for the Leisure Village Seven Lakes DRI shows 163.19 acres (tidemark DRI950269, Lee County planned development data sheet). Our arithmetic on those two figures gives about 6.7 units per acre across the planned development.

We mapped every one of the 1,122 parcels to its condominium, and the full list of 30 condominiums is further down this page.

Which streets are in Seven Lakes?

Nine streets carry the 1,096 units. The street names come from famous golf courses, which is how the Oakmont and Medinah villa streets can be recognized in a listing feed.

The street counts add to 1,096 (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel layer, October 28, 2026). Pine Valley and Lake Breeze carry the mid-rise buildings, while Bent Tree, Pine Glade, Oakmont, Medinah and Leisure carry the villa-style condominiums. Augusta Drive has both: Condos 25 and 46 are mid-rise buildings, and Condos 39, 40 and 41 are villa-style.

Is Kenwood Lane part of Seven Lakes?

No. Kenwood Lane is not part of Seven Lakes. The roll shows 209 parcels on Kenwood Lane in ZIP 33907, and their legal descriptions read SUNSET POINTE AT FORT MYERS (103 parcels) and KENWOOD PK BUS + PROF VLGE CONDO (business and professional suites). A listing on Kenwood Lane that is tagged Seven Lakes is a feed mis-tag unless its legal description starts with SEVEN LAKES. Our page on Sunset Pointe covers that neighbor, and The Landings is a different golf club on Flagship Drive in ZIP 33919.

How does Seven Lakes sit next to its neighbors?

Seven Lakes shares its corner of south Fort Myers with communities that have separate governance, and they are often confused with it in listing feeds. Sunset Pointe at Fort Myers on Kenwood Lane has 104 condominium units on the roll, built 1975 to 2006. The Landings Yacht, Golf and Tennis Club is a different golf club on Flagship Drive, with a 76.31 acre golf club parcel at 4420 and 4425 Flagship Drive (Lee County Property Appraiser). The same golf architect, Kipp Schulties Golf Design, redesigned both the Seven Lakes and Landings courses, which is a common source of confusion. Our pages on Sunset Pointe and The Landings keep each place on its own record.

How do you find a Seven Lakes unit on the county record?

Search the unit address or folio number at the Lee County Property Appraiser, then read the legal description. A Seven Lakes unit reads SEVEN LAKES CONDO followed by the condominium number and unit, and the property use code is 04. The association's own parcels carry use code 09.

The recorded declarations and amendments are searchable at the Lee County Clerk's official records (or.leeclerk.org). We read the Property Appraiser page for sample units in each of the 30 condominiums, and the pattern held in every one.

Is Seven Lakes a 55+ Community?

Seven Lakes is a 55 and older community: the association calls itself "a vibrant and dynamic 55 plus community," and its published lease form requires at least one permanent occupant age 55 or older in every unit. The recorded declarations, where the age covenant is written, are on file with the Lee County Clerk.

Data updated: November 2026 (Seven Lakes Association Rental Procedures, current as of December 1, 2023; 42 U.S.C. 3607; 24 CFR 100.304 to 100.307; Florida Statutes 760.29).

What does the association require?

The association's Rental Procedures set the occupancy rules in the lease form. We read every page of that document, and it says four things about age and occupancy.

• "At least one person, age 55 (fifty-five) years or older must be a permanent occupant of each UNIT, while any person occupies said UNIT."
• Persons under 18 "shall not be allowed to permanently reside in or occupy a UNIT for more than 30 (thirty) days in any 12 (twelve) month period."
• Permanent occupancy, meaning residing in a unit for more than 30 days in any calendar year, "shall be limited to 3 (three) persons, unless specified differently in Condominium Declarations."
• A tenant must sign the Fair Housing Act form, and a copy of each tenant's driver's license is required "to show proof of age for each occupant."

The rule is stricter than the federal 80 percent floor described below, because it applies to each unit. The controlling language in each of the 30 recorded declarations and any amendments is the document to read before you buy. Information about the association's most recent occupancy survey results: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

What should a buyer confirm about the age rule?

A buyer should confirm three things in writing during the contract period. First, the recorded declaration for the specific condominium and any amendments, because that is where the age covenant is recorded. Second, the association's current occupancy and approval procedures for a new owner, since the public documents describe the tenant approval process and the rules for approving a sale sit in the declarations. Third, the rules that apply to anyone who will live in the unit with the buyer, so the household is eligible on day one. We walk buyers and sellers through these documents, and the association's staff can tell you where to request them.

What does federal and Florida law say about 55+ housing?

Federal and Florida fair housing law both allow housing for older persons to treat age as a condition of occupancy, and both set tests a community must meet. The tests are written into the statutes below.

The federal rule is known as HOPA, the Housing for Older Persons Act of 1995. A condominium association counts as a "housing facility or community" under 24 CFR 100.304(b). The community's exemption is the association's to maintain: it publishes the policy, follows it, and refreshes its occupancy verification.

Can people under 18 visit or stay?

The published lease form allows persons under 18 to occupy a unit for up to 30 days in any 12-month period, and not longer. It also lets a tenant have an occasional house guest for no more than 30 days. The lease form is the only document of those rules that the association posts publicly. Guest rules that apply to owners are not part of the public lease form. A public copy of the house rules: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

How many people may live in a unit?

Permanent occupancy is limited to three persons per unit unless the recorded declaration for that condominium says something different. The lease form defines permanent occupancy as residing in a unit for more than 30 days in any calendar year. A buyer should ask for the declaration of the specific condominium during the contract period, because the declaration can be stricter than the lease form.

How Did Seven Lakes Begin, and What Is Its History?

Seven Lakes began in the early 1970s, when the Leisure Technology Corporation of Florida started building a country club community around an 18-hole golf course on the southern edge of Fort Myers. The first three condominiums date to 1971 on the county roll, and the last villas date to 1991.

Data updated: November 2026 (Seven Lakes Association history page; Lee County Property Appraiser roll; Lee County zoning and planned development records; Kipp Schulties Golf Design; association newsletters).

Who started Seven Lakes, and when?

The association's own history page says: "Seven Lakes Golf and Tennis Community was started in the early 1970s by the Leisure Technology Corporation of Florida. The developers wanted the ideal locale for the perfect community and found it in the southern edge of Fort Myers." It adds: "From the beginning, the concept of Seven Lakes was to offer a country club environment centered around an 18-hole golf course," with the units built around the course so residents have a view of it (Seven Lakes Association, Our Story). Founder names, original prices and the original course opening year: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

When were the buildings built?

The community was built one condominium at a time, with declarations recorded in sequence. We tracked the year built for each of the 30 condominiums on the county roll, and the pattern falls into four phases.

The phase totals add to 1,096. Counting each unit by the earliest year built on its condominium, the county roll shows these units completed by year: 1971, 144; 1972, 128; 1973, 1; 1974, 100; 1975, 140; 1976, 51; 1979, 92; 1980, 72; 1981, 97; 1983, 8; 1984, 61; 1985, 35; 1986, 35; 1989, 86; 1991, 46.

How did the county first approve Seven Lakes?

The county's planned development record names the entitlement Leisure Village Seven Lakes DRI (tidemark DRI950269, 163.19 acres in the county layer). The county's zoning cases layer lists case 84-2-7, "Leisure Technology of Florida," decided February 27, 1984 under resolution ZB-84-044 (Lee County resolution ZB-84-044). The "Leisure Village" in the DRI name matches the developer's name.

When did the owners take over?

The association says that once the community was completed, "it was transferred over to the owners to manage and run through a Master Association." The turnover dates for each condominium are in recorded documents at the Lee County Clerk, and Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01) for a published date. The county roll does show how the golf and common parcel moved to the owners' association.

Both amounts are nominal, consistent with moving common property to an owners' association rather than an arm's-length sale (Lee County Property Appraiser, folio 10210104).

When was the golf course redesigned?

Golf course architect Kipp Schulties Golf Design lists its Seven Lakes work as a redesign completed in 2020, with "idyllic ponds, white sand bunkers and lush fairways lined with palm trees" (Kipp Schulties Golf Design). The association's history page says the community "has completed a major renovation of their golf course and tennis courts, as well as upgraded the infrastructure by replacing the drainage system and resurfacing the roads." A zoning case for the Seven Lakes East Entrance Improvement (ADD2014-00188) was closed and approved in 2014 (Lee County zoning case).

When were the tennis courts renovated?

The six Har-Tru clay tennis courts were renovated in 2022. The association's February 2022 newsletter announced the Grand Opening for 2:00 PM on February 18, 2022 (Seven Lakes newsletter, Volume 1, Issue 9).

What happened from 2022 to 2025?

The recent timeline is mostly storms, inspections and reserve studies.

Has Seven Lakes won awards?

The association's history page says Seven Lakes "has thrived and won awards, such as the Florida Community of Excellence." The year and awarding body are not stated on the page, so we do not date it.

Who Runs Seven Lakes, and How Is It Governed?

Seven Lakes runs on two layers: the master Seven Lakes Association, Inc. owns the golf course and common parcels, runs the amenities, gate and staff, while each of the 30 condominiums has its own association for its building, roof, insurance and reserves. Both levy assessments, so a buyer reads two budgets.

Data updated: November 2026 (Seven Lakes Association; Lee County Property Appraiser roll, October 28, 2026; Lee County GIS).

What is the Seven Lakes Association?

Seven Lakes Association, Inc. is the master association. The county roll shows its owner name as SEVEN LAKES ASSN INC, and the association's letterhead and Rental Procedures use "Seven Lakes Association, Inc." The community states its vision as "a safe thriving community we are all proud to call home, where activities abound, property is well maintained, neighbors share mutual respect, and relationships grow." An "owner-elected Board of Directors" oversees the community and the association, working with professional staff in management, lifestyle, golf, grounds, maintenance and dining (Seven Lakes Association, Our Story and staff page).

The master association covers golf, tennis, pickleball, pools, the fitness center, the gate, roads, drainage and amenity staffing. Its Florida Division of Corporations filing details: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

What do the 30 condominium associations do?

Each recorded condominium has its own association and its own common-element parcel on the county roll, under names such as SEVEN LAKES CONDO BLDG 8 ASSN and SEVEN LAKES CONDO 49 ASSN. The association's 2022 newsletter thanks "all the Condominium Representatives" who prepare their "respective Condominium's operating and reserves budgets with Association Staff and Board Members" (Seven Lakes newsletter).

This is the reason monthly dues vary by building. Monthly assessments: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). Ask for the building's current budget and reserve study during the contract period.

Who owns the golf course?

The master association owns it. The golf course and all common parcels are a single county parcel (folio 10210104, legal description "GOLF COURSE AND ALL COMMON PARCELS FOR SEVEN LAKES"), 85.99 acres, zoned RPD (Residential Planned Development), owned by SEVEN LAKES ASSN INC, with a just value of $0 as a common element (Lee County Property Appraiser). The course is not developer-owned and is not a separately sold club membership.

That is why golf is called a bundled amenity: the association's page lists golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming pools and a fitness center as bundled amenities (Why Seven Lakes). Tee times, guest fees and non-resident play: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The Pro Shop answers at (239) 481-6560.

How is Seven Lakes zoned?

The golf and common parcel is zoned RPD, Residential Planned Development. County GIS returns the future land use category Intensive Development (Future Urban Area) in the South Fort Myers plan community, and unit parcels show the unincorporated Lee County zoning area ULC. The community is not inside a Community Development District. The taxing district on every unit parcel is South Trail Fire (047), the South Trail Fire Protection and Rescue Service District.

Which Condominiums Make Up Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes is made of 30 recorded condominiums: 858 units in mid-rise buildings and 238 units in villa-style condominiums. The table below lists every one with its units, floors and year built. We mapped each to the county roll by declaration, address and year built.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel layer, October 28, 2026; engineer's milestone letter, December 17, 2024).

The floor counts for the mid-rise buildings come from the association's engineer letter of December 17, 2024. The county roll lists a few mid-rise buildings with mixed story codes (Condos 4, 5, 7, 20A, 20B, 21A, 21B, 23 and 25), and the engineer's floor count is the one shown here. Each condominium has its own declaration, recorded in the Lee County Official Records, for example Condo 2 at OR 636/543 and Condo 52 at OR 2114/2504.

How do the condominium numbers work?

The condominium numbers run from 1 to 52 with gaps, and some numbers carry a letter. Condos 20A and 20B share a building address at 7430 Lake Breeze Drive and the engineer's letter reports them together as Condo 20 with 70 units. Condos 50A and 50B are two separate villa buildings of 8 units each on Medinah Circle West. Condo 44A has its own association and its own common-element parcel. The numbers that are missing, such as 9 to 19 and 26 to 38, do not appear in the county's Seven Lakes legal descriptions, so the 30 condominiums above are the full list on the roll.

Which buildings are mid-rise?

Seven Lakes has 858 mid-rise units across 16 condominiums, in buildings of three to six floors (Condos 2 to 8, 20A, 20B, 21A, 21B, 22 to 25 and 46). The engineer's December 17, 2024 letter gives the wings and floors for the buildings it inspected (engineer's letter to the Lee County Building Department).

Mid-rise units are mostly one- and two-bedroom. The roll shows two-bedroom units as the largest group, and building heights of three floors or more bring the structural reserve study and milestone inspection rules covered later on this page.

Which buildings are villa-style?

Seven Lakes has 238 villa-style units across 14 condominiums, in attached one- and two-story buildings (Condos 1, 39 to 45, 47 to 50B and 52). These are condominium units, not fee-simple homes, so each belongs to a condominium association. The villas run larger than the mid-rise units, with a median of 1,359 heated square feet at Condos 1, 47, 48, 49, 50A, 50B and 52 and plans from 1,102 to 1,695 square feet across the villa group.

The villa groups add to 238 units. Villa-style plans are two or three bedrooms. Because they are one and two stories, the roll treats them as below the three-story trigger for the structural integrity reserve study, which the milestone section explains.

What Are the Seven Lakes Rental and Leasing Rules?

Seven Lakes requires a minimum rental period of 120 days, individual Board approval of each tenant, and a complete application filed 30 working days before arrival. The association's published Rental Procedures also set fees of $150 for the lease, $50 for a name change and $10 per vehicle.

Data updated: November 2026 (Seven Lakes Association Rental Procedures, current as of December 1, 2023).

The rules below come from the association's Rental Procedures, which include the Condominium Unit Lease Agreement form revised 12/2022. Individual condominium declarations may add limits, such as caps or longer minimums, so read the declaration for the building you are considering.

What is the minimum lease?

The minimum rental period is 120 days. In the document's words: "Seven Lakes Association, Inc. has a minimum rental period of 120-days (one hundred twenty)." Tenants must be pre-registered, because "The Board of Directors approves each tenant(s) individually," and the forms must reach the Association Office "thirty (30) working days before tenant arrives." Tenants can be pre-registered months before arrival.

What does tenant approval cost?

The association's fees are small and fixed, and all are non-refundable.

The packet has five required pieces: the signed lease, the Rental Application, the Fair Housing Act form, the Transfer of Use Rights form and the Pet Owner Registration form. The Transfer of Use Rights form lets the owner's use rights, except voting rights, pass to the tenant for the length of the stay.

Are pets allowed?

For tenants, the lease form says: "The Association's limit regarding pets is 1 (one) pet under 25 pounds." A tenant may not keep a pet unless the owner approves, and an approved pet needs a Pet Owner/Renter Registration form. Pet rules for owners and any breed or weight rules in the recorded declarations: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

Are short-term rentals allowed?

No rentals shorter than 120 days fit the association's published procedure, so weekly and nightly rentals are outside it. A 120-day minimum also shapes the investor math on a Seven Lakes unit, because a rental must be approved by the Board, must have a 55 or older permanent occupant, and cannot be turned over quickly. Whether a given condominium's declaration sets a longer minimum or a rental cap is a question for that building's association.

Where can you read the rental rules yourself?

The Rental Procedures and the lease form are posted as a public PDF on the association's website, current as of December 1, 2023 (Seven Lakes Rental Procedures). Call the Association Office at (239) 482-4540 to confirm that you have the current version before you sign a lease, because association forms are revised from time to time.

What should an owner who rents know?

An owner who plans to rent should file the lease and forms well ahead, because the 30 working day window is long relative to a typical seasonal booking. The lease form puts water, garbage, sewer and basic cable on the landlord unless the lease says otherwise, and lets the association enter the unit in an emergency or to make repairs to the unit or the building. A tenant's security deposit claim must be noticed within 14 days of move-out under the form. For the full cost picture of owning in Seven Lakes, see the fees and reserves section of this page, and for pricing a unit as a landlord or seller, start with our home valuation tool.

What Are the Homes in Seven Lakes Like?

Seven Lakes has 1,096 condominium homes in two clearly different groups: 858 mid-rise units in 16 condominiums of three to six stories, and 238 one- and two-story villa-style units in 14 condominiums. Sizes run from 609 to 1,695 heated square feet, with a median of 1,064, and every building dates from 1971 to 1991.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll and parcel layer, October 28, 2026; the association's engineer letter of December 17, 2024).

We mapped every one of the 1,096 units on the Lee County Property Appraiser roll to its recorded condominium, then sorted the 30 condominiums into mid-rise and villa-style by the story count the county carries. The split matters more here than almost anywhere in Fort Myers, because the two groups differ in size, age, price, reserve exposure and rules that apply to the building. Treat them as two markets inside one gate.

How many homes are mid-rise and how many villa-style?

The county roll and the association describe the same split: mid-rise elevator buildings of three to six stories, and attached one- and two-story villa-style condominiums. The villas are condominium units, not fee-simple houses, so every owner in Seven Lakes owns a unit in a recorded condominium and shares in that condominium's association.

The 858 and 238 add up to the 1,096 units on the roll. The county's story field is recorded unit by unit and a few mid-rise units carry a one or two story value, so the story counts by unit on the roll (170 at one story, 116 at two, 268 at three, 417 at four, 87 at five and 38 at six) will not match the segment totals exactly. We assign each unit by its condominium, which is how the association and the buildings themselves are organized.

The mid-rise group holds 78 percent of the homes on a simple count of 858 of 1,096, and it turns over more often because there are more units. In the 24 months to October 28, 2026 the villa group made up 30 of the 119 recorded sales, so a villa buyer is choosing from a much thinner pool.

What layouts and bedroom counts are there?

Seven Lakes homes are mostly two bedrooms. The roll counts 195 one-bedroom units, 834 two-bedroom units and 67 three-bedroom units. Bathrooms run from one to two and a half: 233 units have one bath, 16 have one and a half, 815 have two and 32 have two and a half.

By adding the condominium rows together, the bedroom mix splits cleanly by segment.

Every one-bedroom unit is in a mid-rise building, and all but two of the 67 three-bedroom units are villas. The two mid-rise three-bedrooms are in Condo 20B. The roll also lists the common bed and bath combinations, with the median heated size, the median 2026 roll just value and the median of the last qualified recorded sale for each.

The two-bedroom, two-bath layout is the backbone of the community, with 750 of the 1,096 units. Original builder floor plan names: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The sizes and bed and bath counts above come from the county roll, so use them to compare units, and confirm the interior layout of any specific unit on a showing.

How big are Seven Lakes homes?

Seven Lakes homes range from 609 to 1,695 heated square feet, with a median of 1,064. Mid-rise units are smaller, at 609 to 1,652 square feet, and the villas run from 1,040 to 1,695 square feet. The table gives the smallest, median and largest unit in each condominium as the county records them.

Two patterns stand out. The 1970s mid-rise buildings on Pine Valley Drive have the smallest units, with Condos 4, 7 and 8 at median sizes of 871, 822 and 871 square feet. The villas on Oakmont Drive and Medinah Circle West repeat the same three sizes: 1,102, 1,359 and 1,661 square feet. Heated area is the county's measure of air-conditioned living space and it excludes lanais and garages, so a listing that quotes total square feet will show a larger number.

How old are Seven Lakes buildings?

Seven Lakes was built one condominium at a time between 1971 and 1991, with a median year built of 1976. The county roll gives the year each unit was completed, and the count of units finished in each year shows when the community grew.

The sequence of recorded declarations tracks the build order. The oldest buildings, Condos 2, 3 and 46, date to 1971 and were recorded first (Official Records books 636, 654 and 663). The last villas, Condo 1 and Condos 50A, 50B and 52, date to 1991. Age shows up in price too. In the 36 months to October 28, 2026, recorded sales by year built came out like this.

Part of that pattern is age and part is building type, because the 1977 to 1981 group contains most of the villas and the 1971 to 1976 group is all mid-rise. Read the table as a guide to which buildings carry which price range, not as proof that age alone sets the price.

Which buildings have elevators?

Seven Lakes mid-rise buildings are elevator buildings of three to six stories, and the villas are one and two stories without elevators. The association's public reserve studies confirm elevators in four buildings and give the stop count for each.

For the other mid-rise buildings, the county story counts and the engineer's letter give three to six floors, and elevator equipment details are not in the public documents. Ask for the building's elevator service records and its reserve schedule during the contract period, because elevator cabs and modernization are among the largest reserve line items you will see in the fees section below.

What Is the Seven Lakes Real Estate Market Doing?

Seven Lakes recorded 65 qualified sales in the 12 months to October 28, 2026, at a median of $109,000, or $108 per heated square foot, in a range of $35,000 to $254,250. Mid-rise prices have fallen every year since 2022, while the villa-style condominiums have held far better.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel layer, trailing 12 months to October 28, 2026, sales recorded through September 30, 2026; county recorded-sales index rebuilt November 1, 2026).

Southwest Florida MLS figures for Seven Lakes (days on market, list-to-sale ratio, active listings): Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The sales below are Lee County recorded sales, which include sales the MLS never sees.

We tracked every Seven Lakes sale by address, condominium and bedroom count from the county record, and we kept the mid-rise buildings and the villas apart, because blending them hides what each is doing. A second county run on November 1, 2026 counted 61 sales since November 2025 at a $108,100 median, the same picture. The county data covers an improved parcel, a warranty-deed transaction code and a price of at least $20,000, which screens out quit claims, trust transfers and estate transfers. There were no builder-direct sales, since every building dates from 1971 to 1991.

How many Seven Lakes homes sold in the last 12 months?

Seven Lakes had 65 qualified recorded sales in the 12 months from October 28, 2025 to October 28, 2026. The median price was $109,000, the mean was $123,449, the lowest was $35,000 and the highest was $254,250. The median price per heated square foot was $108.

The mean sits above the median because the higher villa sales, up to $254,250, pull the average up. Lead with the median when you size up a home in the community, and ask which segment and building a number comes from before relying on it.

What do 24 and 36 months show?

Over longer windows the median price rises because the market was stronger earlier. Over 24 months to October 28, 2026 the county recorded 119 sales at a $122,500 median, and over 36 months it recorded 182 sales at a $148,000 median.

The 36-month window holds 182 sales, while the most recent 12 months hold 65. That is the slowdown in plain numbers: the community recorded fewer sales and at lower prices as 2025 and 2026 went on. Price per heated square foot shows the same slope, from $140 over 36 months to $121 over 24 and $108 over 12. The $385,000 high in the longer windows was a villa at 1777 Augusta Dr in Condo 41, sold December 20, 2024, a two-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home of 1,465 square feet at $263 per square foot.

How have prices moved year by year since 2016?

Seven Lakes prices rose from a $86,000 median in 2016 to a $210,000 median in 2022, then fell back to $109,000 in 2026 to date. The county keeps only the four most recent sales for each parcel, so the older years are undercounted, and price per square foot uses today's roll heated area.

The peak was 2022, when the community-wide median reached $210,000 on 117 sales. Every year since has come in lower, and the 2024 and 2025 counts of 65 and 45 sales were the thinnest in the series. The 2026 count of 61 sales to October 28 is already above all of 2025, so activity has picked up even as prices stayed low. The county layer covers sale instruments recorded with the Lee County Clerk, and the instrument numbers for every 2024 to 2026 sale are public at the Lee County Clerk's records site.

How do mid-rise and villa prices differ?

Seven Lakes mid-rise units and villas sell in separate price ranges, and the gap has widened. In 2026 to date the mid-rise median is $84,500 on 44 sales, while the villa-style median is $224,900 on 17 sales. In 2022 the two medians were $190,000 and $323,160.

The middle half of sales shows how wide each segment is. The 25th to 75th percentile range for mid-rise sales in 2026 to date runs from $60,000 to $114,000, and for villas it runs from $185,000 to $240,000. In 2022 the same ranges were $142,500 to $227,500 for mid-rise and $288,000 to $343,000 for villas.

Recorded mid-rise prices have fallen every year since 2022, from a $190,000 median to $84,500, while the villa-style condominiums moved from $323,160 to $224,900. The villas fell too, but from a higher base and with a narrower band between the 25th and 75th percentiles in most years. Why the mid-rise group fell harder is not a measured result. The reserve and milestone costs covered later on this page are the most likely reason for buyer caution in the older mid-rise buildings, and we flag that as an inference, not a proven cause.

What do one, two and three bedroom units sell for?

Seven Lakes one-bedroom units sell near $60,000, two-bedrooms near $120,000 to $160,000 depending on the window, and three-bedrooms near $237,000 to $245,000. The two-bedroom group is the largest, with 47 of the 65 sales in the last 12 months.

Splitting the 24-month window by segment shows why a single bedroom count hides a lot. A two-bedroom mid-rise unit and a two-bedroom villa are different homes.

A mid-rise two-bedroom has a median of $115,000 at 1,011 square feet. A villa two-bedroom has a median of $240,000 at 1,314 square feet. The villa costs more than twice as much while offering about 300 more square feet, so the price gap is wider than the size gap, and the rest comes from the one- and two-story form, the building type and the lower share of reserve-heavy elevator buildings. The 24-month count of 3-bedroom mid-rise sales is one sale, so ignore it as a trend.

Does the floor level change the price?

Seven Lakes mid-rise two-bedroom units sold for the most on upper floors in the 36 months to October 28, 2026, though the upper-floor samples are small. Floors 1 to 3 had medians of $125,000, $122,500 and $133,400, while floor 4 reached $172,625 on 12 sales.

The county does not record the floor, so we read it from the hundreds digit of the unit number. The roll shows 256 units on the first floor, 256 on the second, 236 on the third, 108 on the fourth, 33 on the fifth and 9 on the sixth. Floors 5 and 6 each rest on two sales, so they are examples, not a pattern. The jump at floor 4 also reflects which buildings have a fourth floor, since those include the 1980s Lake Breeze and Pebble Beach buildings, so building and view matter alongside the floor itself.

What were the price bands?

Seven Lakes recorded sales in five price bands over the 24 months to October 28, 2026. Half of them were at or under $125,000: 24 sales (20 percent) at $75,000 or less and 36 sales (30 percent) from $75,000 to $125,000.

The five bands total 119 sales. The $175,000 to $250,000 band is almost entirely villas and the larger upper-floor mid-rise units, while the lower two bands are almost entirely mid-rise. If your budget is under $125,000, your choice set is the mid-rise buildings, and the building's reserve study and milestone status will do more to separate two similar units than the unit's finishes will.

Which buildings sell most often?

Turnover varies sharply by condominium. In the 24 months to October 28, 2026, the 119 recorded sales spread across 28 of the 30 condominiums, and two small villa condominiums, 50B and 52, recorded none.

Where a building has only one or two sales in the window, its median is a single price, not a trend. The busiest buildings were Condo 42 (27.3 percent turnover), Condo 43 (22.7 percent), Condo 45 (20.8 percent), Condo 2 (18.8 percent) and Condo 21B (18.5 percent). The quietest included Condo 6 (2.5 percent), Condo 40 (2.5 percent) and Condo 20A (2.9 percent). The highest building medians belong to the villas, led by Condo 41 at $329,500 on two sales, and the lowest to Condo 2 at $65,000 and Condo 25 at $68,000.

What sold at the top and bottom?

At the top of Seven Lakes in the last 12 months, the nine highest recorded sales were all villas, topped by $254,250 at 1836 Pine Glade Cir. The highest mid-rise sale was $200,000 at 1700 Pine Valley Dr, unit 205. The lowest was $35,000 at 1828 Pine Valley Dr, unit 209.

The nine highest sales ran from $224,900 to $254,250. The top mid-rise sales were $200,000 at 1700 Pine Valley Dr, unit 205 (Condo 5, a two-bedroom of 1,384 square feet, sold September 17, 2026, at $145 per square foot) and $185,000 at 7430 Lake Breeze Dr, unit 410 (Condo 20B, 1,193 square feet, sold April 1, 2026, at $155 per square foot). The bottom of the range looked like this.

The county layer does not say why a unit sold for a low price, so we do not guess at condition, motivation or terms. What the record does show is that every one of the eight lowest sales was a mid-rise unit under 1,020 square feet, and that five of the eight were in the Pine Valley Drive buildings built in 1971 to 1974. The complete 2024 to 2026 ledger of 171 qualified sales is public on the Lee County parcel layer, and each sale carries its Official Records instrument number for a look-up with the Lee County Clerk.

How does the county roll value compare with sale prices?

The county's 2026 roll just values for Seven Lakes sit close to recent sale prices overall. The median ratio of qualified sale price to current roll just value over the 24 months to October 28, 2026 was 1.00 across 119 sales. The median just value for all 1,096 units is $122,863, against a 24-month median sale price of $122,500 and a 12-month median of $109,000.

A ratio under 1.00 means the roll sits above recent market, and a ratio above 1.00 means sales came in over the roll. The overall 1.00 hides a spread by building: in several older Pine Valley Drive buildings the roll sits above the latest sales, while in several newer buildings and most villas sales came in above the roll. The table compares each building's median roll just value to its 24-month median sale price.

Just value is the appraiser's January 1 estimate of market value, not a sale price. Condo 2 and Condo 5 show roll values above recent sales, which means those owners can expect assessed-value reductions to follow the sales, while Condos 22, 23, 41 and 45 show sales above the roll. Where a building has few sales in the window, compare with the unit's own parcel on the county site, not the building median.

Condo 25 (6220 Augusta Dr, 68 units) is a roll anomaly that every buyer should know about. Its median just value is $3,755, against $96,860 for similar mid-rise buildings of the same vintage. The association's engineer letter of December 17, 2024 lists Condo 25 as a building damaged by Hurricane Ian and in the final permitted stages of repairs, and the low roll value is consistent with that. Condo 25 recorded 16 qualified sales from 2023 to 2026 at a median of $76,250, and we treat it as a separate cohort when we price units there.

How should a buyer or seller read these numbers?

Seven Lakes is a market where the building decides the price band, so the first step is to find the condominium and read its segment. A seller of a villa on Pine Glade Circle is competing with a $240,000-plus band, and a seller of a one-bedroom on Pine Valley Drive is competing with a band near $60,000. Both can be priced correctly and still be nowhere near each other.

For buyers, five habits help:

• Compare a unit with sales in its own building and its own segment, never with the community median.
• Use price per heated square foot to compare units of different sizes, and remember that the roll area excludes lanais and garages.
• Read a building's recorded turnover in the table above. A building with one sale in 24 months has a price that is a single data point.
• Ask for the building's current budget, its reserve study and its milestone or structural study status before you set an offer price (see the sections below).
• Remember that the county data lags the street by weeks, so the newest sales are not in it yet.

For sellers, the same logic runs the other way. Pricing a Seven Lakes unit starts with the building, floor, view, reserve study and milestone status, and the closest comparable is usually a unit within the same condominium. Our home valuation tool starts the process, and our Fort Myers seller guide explains how we price and market a condominium. If you are planning a purchase, our buyer guide shows how we search and negotiate, and we can walk you through the building-by-building numbers on a call.

What Are Seven Lakes Fees, Reserves and Special Assessments?

Seven Lakes owners pay two layers of cost: the master association, which funds golf, tennis, pools, the gate, roads and drainage, and each condominium's own association, which funds the building and its reserves. Monthly dues vary by building, so no single dues figure applies to the whole community.

Data updated: October 2026 (Seven Lakes Association public pages; four building reserve studies prepared by Stone Building Solutions for the fiscal year starting April 1, 2025; Lee County Property Appraiser, October 28, 2026).

We read every public reserve study the association posts and the association's own description of its budgets, and we found no published dues schedule. Monthly assessments: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). Member budgets go to owners directly, and the association's newsletter confirms that budgets exist for the master association and for each condominium, prepared by condominium representatives with association staff and board members. That is why the practical advice is simple: ask for the building's current budget and reserve study during the contract period.

What do monthly dues cover?

Seven Lakes dues cover two things at once. At the master level, the association states that its bundled amenities include golf, tennis, pickleball, swimming pools and a fitness center, and the golf course is owned by the master association, so golf is a common amenity funded through assessments, not a separately purchased club membership. At the condominium level, the building's association handles the structure, roof, elevators, insurance and reserves.

The association describes the community as offering "maintenance-free living" with bundled amenities, per its Why Seven Lakes page, and says the drainage system was replaced and the roads resurfaced as part of a major renovation, per its Our Story page. What a given building's dues include (for example whether water, trash, cable or building insurance are included in the monthly figure) differs by condominium, and the answer is in that building's budget. Do not compare dues between two units until you know what each building's figure includes.

What do the building reserve studies show?

Four Seven Lakes buildings have public reserve studies posted: Condos 5, 21A, 21B and 22. Each is a Stone Building Solutions traditional reserve study for the fiscal year that began April 1, 2025, with a 30-year funding plan. The figures below are building reserve line items, not total dues.

Each building's study has its own list of items. The largest ones, in the study's first-year dollars, were as follows.

Elevator cab refurbishment appears too: $12,812 in Condo 5 (2028), $25,625 in Condo 21A (2025), $25,625 in Condo 21B (2031) and $61,500 in Condo 22 (2033). The studies also list gutters, exterior lighting, mailbox clusters, sidewalks, trash chutes, laundry equipment and an annual update of the structural and traditional studies. Each study states that its numbers are opinions of probable cost that rest on approximate quantities and that actual costs may vary.

Read the balance against the replacement cost for each building, since the two numbers sit side by side. In Condo 22 the reserve balance of $80,497 sits against $456,219 of reserve items, and in Condo 5 the balance of $151,398 sits against $341,567. A building with a large gap between its balance and its schedule has to close the gap with higher contributions, a loan or a special assessment, and a buyer should ask which path the board expects to use. Reserve studies for the other 26 condominiums: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

The four public studies are available as Condo 5, Condo 21A, Condo 21B and Condo 22.

Have there been special assessments?

The four public Seven Lakes reserve studies each report special assessments of $0. For the other buildings, the master association and any assessment levied since the studies were prepared, Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). Treat "no special assessment in the posted study" as a statement about that building on the study's date, not a promise about the future.

Two buildings had repair work after Hurricane Ian. The association's engineer wrote in December 2024 that Condo 3 and Condo 25 were damaged by Hurricane Ian and in the final permitted stages of repairs. How those repairs were funded, by insurance, reserves, a loan or an assessment, is not published. Florida law also limits what an owner-controlled association can waive. For budgets adopted on or after December 31, 2024, reserves for the structural items in a three-story-or-higher building may not be waived or reduced by member vote, per section 718.112 of the Florida Statutes.

What should a buyer ask for before closing?

A Seven Lakes buyer should collect six documents during the contract period. Ask the association or the listing side for each in writing and keep the replies in the file.

• The building's current annual budget, with the monthly assessment for the unit and what it includes.
• The master association's current budget and any master assessment separate from the building's.
• The building's most recent reserve study and its current reserve balance.
• The building's milestone inspection status and structural integrity reserve study, if the building has three or more stories.
• Any special assessment that has been levied, approved or discussed, and how it is billed.
• The recorded declaration and amendments for the unit's condominium, including the leasing and age rules, which are filed with the Lee County Clerk.

The unit's condominium number is on the county record, and the street address tells you which building you are in. If you want help finding it, our contact page reaches the team directly, and we can pull the building's county record before you make an offer.

What Do Milestone Inspections and SIRS Mean for Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes has 16 mid-rise condominiums of three stories or higher, so each falls under Florida's structural integrity reserve study rule, and each reached 30 years old before the milestone deadlines. The association reported on December 17, 2024 that 13 buildings passed Milestone Phase 1, with Condo 3 and Condo 25 to follow.

Data updated: October 2026 (Florida Statutes sections 553.899 and 718.112, 2025 edition; the association's engineer letter to the Lee County Building Department dated December 17, 2024).

We read the statutes and the association's published engineer letter side by side, building by building. The law applies by building height and age, not by neighborhood label, which is why the villas and the mid-rise buildings are treated so differently.

Which buildings must have a structural integrity reserve study?

Under section 718.112(2)(g) of the Florida Statutes (2025), a condominium association must obtain a structural integrity reserve study at least every 10 years for each building "three habitable stories or higher in height." The study covers roof, structure and load-bearing walls, fireproofing and fire protection, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing and exterior painting, windows and exterior doors, and any other item over $25,000 whose failure would affect those. For associations that existed on or before July 1, 2022 and are controlled by owners, the study had to be completed by December 31, 2025 and in no event after December 31, 2026, as amended by CS/CS/HB 913 (2025). The rule is in the Florida Statutes.

At Seven Lakes that means the 16 mid-rise condominiums. The one- and two-story villa-style condominiums are below the three-story trigger.

The posted reserve studies for Condos 5, 21A, 21B and 22 carry a reserve line named "SIRS and TRS Yearly Update" and were prepared by Stone Building Solutions for the fiscal year that began April 1, 2025, declared as meeting section 718.112. The file names show a combined structural and traditional report. SIRS results for most buildings: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

Which buildings passed Milestone Phase 1?

A milestone inspection is due by December 31 of the year a building reaches 30 years and every 10 years after, under section 553.899. Buildings that reached 30 before July 1, 2022 had to be inspected before December 31, 2024. Every Seven Lakes mid-rise building was built from 1971 to 1989, so all reached 30 years before those deadlines.

The association's engineer letter to the Lee County Building Department, dated December 17, 2024, reports 13 buildings "inspected and passing their Milestone Phase 1 Inspection," per the published letter.

The 13 buildings hold 742 units. Two more buildings were damaged by Hurricane Ian and were in the final permitted stages of repairs when the letter was written, with the full Phase 1 documentation due in the first quarter of 2025.

The 742 units in the 13 buildings plus the 116 units in Condos 3 and 25 add up to the 858 mid-rise units. The unit counts in the letter match the county roll. Phase 2 outcomes and the Phase 1 documentation for Condos 3 and 25: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). A buyer in either of those two buildings should ask for the completed Phase 1 report.

Why does this matter to price?

For a Seven Lakes buyer, milestone and structural status is a cost question. A building that passed Phase 1 with a funded reserve schedule is easier to price than a building with open repairs or a thin balance. The recorded numbers are consistent with buyers noticing: mid-rise prices have fallen every year since 2022, and the reserve and milestone costs are the likeliest explanation for buyer caution in the older mid-rise buildings. We present that as an inference, not a measured cause.

For sellers, the opposite applies. A building with a recent engineer letter, a current reserve study and a clean budget history gives a buyer less to worry about, and gathering those documents before you list can shorten the contract period. We build that package into our pricing and marketing, as described in our Fort Myers seller guide. Villa owners do not carry the same structural study obligations, though their own condominium reserves and roofs still matter, and the price difference we saw between the two groups reflects more than one factor.

What Are Property Taxes in Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes sits in unincorporated Lee County, and every unit is in the South Trail Fire Protection and Rescue Service District. The median 2026 roll just value is $122,863 and 48 percent of units carry a homestead exemption. Millage rates for this tax district: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser roll and parcel layer, October 28, 2026; Lee County GIS taxing authority layer).

Your bill depends on assessed value, exemptions and millage; read it on the Lee County Tax Collector's site. The Property Appraiser's site noted that the Tax Collector would release the 2026 tax bills over the weekend of October 30, with questions to the Tax Collector at 239-533-6000. The county publishes a taxing district millage book each year at leepa.org for those who want to look up the rates for district 047.

Which taxing districts apply?

Every Seven Lakes unit parcel carries taxing district South Trail Fire (code 047), and the county GIS layer for the community returns these authorities, per the Lee County GIS boundaries service. No community development district appears among them, and Seven Lakes is not in one.

Every unit also carries solid waste district 003 on the roll, with garbage type M and one garbage unit. The meaning of type M in the county solid-waste assessment: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). A condominium owner's bill reflects the unit's taxable value and these authorities. The master association and building association assessments are separate from the tax bill.

What are typical roll values?

The county's 2026 roll values for Seven Lakes units run from $3,755 to $268,316, with a median of $122,863 and a mean of $129,605. The lowest figure is the Condo 25 anomaly described in the market section. Together the 1,096 units carry a total just value of $142,047,536.

Just value is the appraiser's estimate as of January 1, and assessed value is the figure after Save Our Homes or non-homestead caps. The median assessed value of $109,909 sits below the median just value of $122,863 because of those caps. Median just values by building show the same split between the two groups.

A tax bill on a $90,000 unit and a tax bill on a $240,000 villa will differ by a wide margin even with the same millage, so use the unit's own parcel on the Lee County Property Appraiser's site, which links to the Tax Estimator, instead of an average.

How does homestead affect a bill?

Homestead status varies a great deal from one Seven Lakes building to the next. On the 2026 roll, 522 of 1,096 units (48 percent) carry a homestead exemption amount, and 412 units (38 percent) have an owner mailing address outside Florida. Entity or trust names appear on 34 units (3 percent), and 63 units carry a senior exemption amount.

The county's explanation on each parcel page is that the capped assessed value limits year-to-year assessment increases to the lower of the Consumer Price Index or 3 percent for homestead property and 10 percent for non-homestead property, and that taxable value is the capped assessment after exemptions. For a buyer, the practical point is to ask for the seller's current bill, then check the unit's own county page and the Tax Estimator for the taxable value that would apply to your purchase.

Homestead and mailing-address shares are roll facts about units, not statements about any owner. If you would like a building-level read of the taxes before you buy or list, we can walk you through the county record for the unit, and you can reach us through our contact page.

What Amenities Does Seven Lakes Have?

Seven Lakes has an executive-length 18-hole golf course, six Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, six outdoor pools including an Olympic size pool, a fitness center, a 40,000 square foot Pavilion, the Tee Room restaurant, a woodshop, bocce, shuffleboard and a 24-passenger resident bus, all run by the Seven Lakes Association, Inc.

Data updated: November 2026 (Seven Lakes Association amenity pages and newsletter, retrieved October 28, 2026; GolfLink course database; Kipp Schulties Golf Design).

We read every amenity page the association publishes, and the pattern is consistent: the recreation is owned by the master association and bundled into the assessments that owners pay, rather than sold as a separate club membership. That is the single biggest structural difference between Seven Lakes and the club communities around it, and the comparison sections below come back to it. Amenity fees for non-residents, guest rules, golf cart policy and tee-time limits are not published on the association's public pages, so we do not print any.

What is the Seven Lakes golf course like?

The Seven Lakes course is an executive-length 18-hole course that the association describes as having "idyllic ponds, white sand bunkers and lush fairways lined with palm trees." It was redesigned by golf architect Kipp Schulties, whose own project page lists the Seven Lakes work as a 2020 redesign (Kipp Schulties Golf Design). The association's golf page says the redesign aimed to be "fun, yet challenging enough to keep things interesting for all skill level golfers."

Per the GolfLink course database, the course plays to par 60 at 3,515 yards from the longest tees, with a slope of 94 and a course rating of 57.2, and has an on-site driving range (GolfLink). That database is a third-party listing, not the association, so treat the numbers as a reference and confirm details with the Pro Shop.

The association offers regular play plus 9-hole and 18-hole league play for both ladies and men, and golf scrambles. Its home page lists a Men's 18 Hole League on Thursdays at 8:00 AM, with the listed season ending October 31, 2026. The Pro Shop handles tee times and equipment, and the association says an experienced PGA professional gives lessons.

Does the golf course close for maintenance in summer?

Yes, on a schedule. The association's 2022 newsletter describes a summer maintenance closure of all 18 holes one weekday a week, May through October 1 (association newsletter). Which weekday the closure falls on is not stated in what we read, so ask the Pro Shop at (239) 481-6560 for the current summer schedule.

Who owns the Seven Lakes golf course?

The master association owns it. The Lee County Property Appraiser carries the golf and common parcel at 1965 Seven Lakes Boulevard (folio 10210104) as 85.99 acres of residential common element, owned by Seven Lakes Assn Inc (Lee County Property Appraiser). The roll shows a just value of $0 for the parcel, which is normal for a common element. That ownership is why there is no separate golf membership to buy at Seven Lakes.

What are the Seven Lakes tennis courts like?

The association says Seven Lakes has "6 state-of-the-art, Har-Tru clay tennis courts" that were renovated in 2022, with shaded gallery areas and comfortable seating for watching play (tennis page). A USPTA tennis pro offers clinics and private lessons. The association's newsletter lists a Grand Opening of the renovated courts at 2:00 PM on February 18, 2022.

Is there pickleball at Seven Lakes?

Yes. The association describes league and casual pickleball and says the courts are "always in demand" (pickleball page). The number of pickleball courts and the booking system are behind the resident login and are not published, so we do not state a court count.

What are the Seven Lakes pools like?

The association lists six outdoor swimming pools, including an Olympic size pool, located throughout the community (pools page). The pool areas have tiki huts, lounge chairs, restrooms and gas grills, and the water aerobics program uses the pools. Because the pools are spread across the property, how close a given condominium sits to a pool is a real, building-by-building difference worth walking before you buy.

What does the fitness center offer?

The fitness center has aerobic and weight machines and free weights, and the association runs a wellness slate that includes Yoga, Stretch and Tone, Water Aerobics and HIIT-style classes (fitness center page). Class times are posted on the association's events calendar.

What is inside the Seven Lakes Pavilion?

The Pavilion is the center of indoor recreation: "the 40,000 sq. ft Pavilion" on the association's Pavilion page. It contains:

• The Atrium, a large covered patio.
• Hobby rooms for woodworking, painting and sculpting.
• A Billiards Room with two tables.
• Two Card Rooms and a Poker Room.
• A library with hundreds of books, plus magazines.
• Conference rooms with technology for meetings with on-site and off-site participants.
• The Auditorium, an assembly hall with its own stage, bar and kitchen, used for concerts, dances and social events.

What is the Tee Room?

The Tee Room is the community's restaurant and full-service bar, reached at (239) 433-0047 (Tee Room page). The association describes breakfast service and happy hour after golf. Hours and the menu change seasonally and are not posted on the public page, so call before you plan a meal there.

Is there a woodshop?

Yes. Seven Lakes has a woodshop equipped for resident woodworking projects (woodshop page). It is separate from the hobby rooms inside the Pavilion.

Are there bocce and shuffleboard courts?

Yes. The association lists bocce (bocce page) and shuffleboard courts with shaded areas (shuffleboard page). Both are open to residents.

Does Seven Lakes have its own bus?

Yes. The association says it keeps "a 24 passenger bus on-site with our own driver" that makes regular trips each week to local grocery and retail stores, and that the Lifestyle staff schedules the bus for outings to local attractions and restaurants (bus page). A Fort Myers Beach bus trip at $9.00 per person on October 28, 2026 appears on the association's events calendar as an example. The association's phone directory lists a separate bus phone line.

What is the Lifestyle department, and what clubs and events run there?

The Lifestyle department is a professional staff whose job is amenities, leisure activities, programs and entertainment, including concerts and dances, wellness classes, the bus, social events and games (Lifestyle page). The events calendar on the association's home page lists activities such as Stretch and Tone, Gin Rummy and Embroidery.

The association also names what it considers its strengths: maintenance-free living, an in-house restaurant, gated security, entertainment and social programs, and a central location "including the beaches and the airport" (Why Seven Lakes). It reports a drainage system replaced, roads resurfaced and a "Florida Community of Excellence" award on its story page.

Is Seven Lakes Gated, and How Do Utilities Work?

Seven Lakes is gated. The Lee County GIS subdivision layer records Seven Lakes as gated, a condominium type with 1,096 units, and the association's newsletter lists both a front and a back guard gate. Water and sewer service come from Lee County Utilities, and fire and rescue come from the South Trail Fire Protection and Rescue Service District.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County GIS layers queried October 28, 2026; Lee County Property Appraiser; South Trail Fire Protection and Rescue Service District).

How does gate and security work at Seven Lakes?

The county's subdivision layer returns "Seven Lakes" with Gated = Yes, a condominium subdivision type and a total of 1,096 condominium units at the golf and common parcel (Lee County GIS). The association markets "a sense of safety and peace of mind that only a gated community can provide" (Why Seven Lakes).

The association's phone directory in its newsletter lists a front guard gate line, 481-6363, and a back guard gate line, 482-0575 (newsletter). Rules for contractors, guests and deliveries sit behind the resident login and are not published, so ask the association office for the current gate procedure before you schedule movers or vendors.

The county's sheriff layer places the community in the Third Sheriff District, zone 36, and the county's subdivision record shows no sheriff traffic control for Seven Lakes. A gate controls access; it is not a guarantee of anything, and we would rather say what the record shows than oversell it.

Who provides water and sewer at Seven Lakes?

Lee County Utilities. The county's water franchise area layer (edited July 4, 2024) and wastewater franchise area layer (edited June 13, 2023) both return Lee County Utilities at the community, phone 239-533-8845, and both service-area layers show the point as serviced (Lee County GIS utilities layers). In a condominium, the master and building associations normally hold the accounts, so individual owners are generally not billed separately. Confirm with the association which utilities are included in a building's assessment.

How does trash pickup work?

Every one of the 1,096 Seven Lakes unit parcels carries solid waste district 003, garbage type M and one garbage unit on the Lee County roll. The county's solid waste layer places the community in Area 3. What type M means in the county's assessment was not confirmed, so we do not interpret it. The county's rate page is the place to read current solid waste rates (Lee County Solid Waste Rates).

Who provides electricity?

Lee County Electric Cooperative's territory layer returns no match at the Seven Lakes point, which means the community lies outside that cooperative's territory. The investor-owned utility serving it: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The association or the seller can tell you the account holder and any cable or internet arrangement; the association's phone directory lists a cable and internet provider line.

Who answers fire and EMS calls?

The South Trail Fire Protection and Rescue Service District. Every Seven Lakes unit parcel carries the South Trail Fire taxing district (047) on the roll, and the county's fire layer places the community in South Trail's response zone 61, Station 61, sub-zone 61C (South Trail Fire).

The district describes itself as an independent taxing district created by the state legislature to serve about 62,000 residents across 39 square miles of south Fort Myers, with four fire stations staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. All firefighters are Emergency Medical Technicians, 49 are practicing paramedics, and every engine and rescue provides Advanced Life Support level care. In 2025 the district's crews responded to 11,789 incidents. The district's administration line is 239-433-0080.

Is Seven Lakes in a Flood Zone?

Seven Lakes is in two flood zones at once. In our sample of 15 building points, 7 are in FEMA Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 9 feet NAVD88, and 8 are in shaded Zone X. Ground elevations at those points run from 7.1 to 10.0 feet. The only reliable answer is by building, so check the exact address.

Data updated: November 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, FIRM panel 12071C0417G effective November 17, 2022; USGS 3DEP elevation; Lee County evacuation layer; all queried October 28, 2026).

We mapped 15 Seven Lakes buildings against the FEMA flood layer, the county's evacuation layer and the USGS elevation service, using coordinates from the Lee County parcel layer for real Seven Lakes addresses. Every point sits on FIRM panel 12071C0417G, effective November 17, 2022. This is a screening table, not a flood determination: a lender, an insurance agent or an elevation certificate gives the answer that counts for a specific unit.

Which Seven Lakes buildings are in Zone AE and which are in Zone X?

Of the 15 points, 8 are shaded Zone X and 7 are Zone AE. The FEMA subtype for the Zone X points is "0.2 percent annual chance flood hazard in coastal zone," and for the AE points it is "coastal floodplain." The AE points also include the golf and common parcel centroid at 1965 Seven Lakes Boulevard, which the county's FIRM layer returns as AE-EL9 (NAVD88) outside the regulatory floodway.

In this sample the AE points sit on lower ground (7.1 to 8.5 feet) and the shaded X points on higher ground (8.7 to 10.0 feet). A condominium's zone is set by its own footprint, not by the community's name or its street.

What are the ground elevations at Seven Lakes?

Ground elevations sampled by the USGS 3DEP service ran from 7.1 feet (1837 Pine Glade Cir) to 10.0 feet (1990 Leisure Dr) NAVD88 (USGS National Map elevation service). The county's one-foot contour layer shows depression contours of 6 and 7 feet near the golf parcel centroid. For a condominium, the elevation of the ground matters less than the elevation of the lowest floor and the building's mechanical equipment, which an elevation certificate documents.

What is the evacuation zone?

The county's emergency layer returns surge zone 1 at all 15 sampled points. At the golf and common parcel, the county's emergency-operations layer returns county evacuation zone A, while a second county layer returned surge zone 2 at the same point. Because the two layers do not agree on that one point, we do not tell anyone their zone from this page. Use the county's Know Your Zone address lookup on leefl.gov before storm season, and write your zone on the sheet you keep by your door.

What changed on the 2022 flood maps?

The current FIRM panel for Seven Lakes is 12071C0417G, effective November 17, 2022. The county also keeps the superseded panel 12071C0417F, effective August 28, 2008. At the golf and common parcel centroid, the old map showed Zone AE at a base flood elevation of 7 feet; the current map shows AE at 9 feet. That is a 2 foot increase at the sampled point. At the Condo 8 point (1580 Pine Valley Dr), the old map and the new map both show shaded Zone X.

For an AE building, a higher base flood elevation changes the flood insurance rating and any substantial improvement rules. You can look up any address on FEMA's Map Service Center and read the panel for yourself.

Does a flood zone change what a buyer pays?

It can. Zone AE properties with a federally backed mortgage generally carry a flood insurance requirement, while shaded Zone X carries no zone-based requirement, although flood losses happen outside high-risk zones too. In ZIP 33907, FEMA's claims data shows that 6 of 48 claims in the Hurricane Ian window were rated Zone X, so a shaded X label is a lower-risk label, not a no-risk label. The insurance section below covers premiums and policy types.

How Did Hurricanes Ian, Helene and Milton Affect Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes sits inland of the barrier islands, and the association's documents show Hurricane Ian damaged two buildings, Condo 3 and Condo 25, that needed permitted repairs still in their final stages in December 2024. Helene and Milton produced river surge near Fort Myers but no Seven Lakes-specific damage record that we could find.

Data updated: November 2026 (National Hurricane Center Tropical Cyclone Reports; Seven Lakes Association engineer letter dated December 17, 2024; OpenFEMA NFIP claims, queried October 28, 2026).

What happened at Seven Lakes in Hurricane Ian?

Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022. The National Hurricane Center reports peak storm surge inundation of 10 to 15 feet above ground level in Fort Myers Beach, a USGS high water mark of 4.4 feet above ground on the southern bank of the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers, and, in Lee County, at least 52,514 structures impacted, 5,369 destroyed and 14,245 with major damage (NHC Ian report). Seven Lakes is inland of the barrier islands, and the NHC does not publish a surge value for the community itself.

At Seven Lakes, the association's engineer letter to the Lee County building official, dated December 17, 2024, names two condominiums as "damaged by Hurricane Ian" and "nearing the final stages of repairs": Condo 3 (1740 Pine Valley Dr, 48 units, 3 floors) and Condo 25 (6220 Augusta Dr, 68 units, 4 floors) (engineer letter). The letter does not break out the cause of damage. At the points we sampled, both buildings map to shaded Zone X.

The same letter reports 13 other mid-rise buildings as inspected and passing Milestone Phase 1. The association also reports replacing the drainage system and resurfacing roads, and the pools, golf course and tennis courts are described as completed renovations.

The Lee County Property Appraiser's roll reflects the difference between buildings. Condo 25's roll just value sits far below its sister buildings, which is consistent with a county value reduction for storm damage, and Condo 25 sales are best read as a separate cohort when you compare prices.

What happened in Hurricane Helene?

In September 2024, the National Hurricane Center reports that the NOS tide gauge on the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers measured 5.12 feet above MHHW, with surge of 3 to 5 feet above ground level from south of Englewood to Bonita Beach (NHC Helene report). Seven Lakes-specific damage from Helene: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

What happened in Hurricane Milton?

The National Hurricane Center reports maximum storm surge inundation of 4 to 6 feet above ground level south of Boca Grande through Bonita Beach, including the Caloosahatchee River, and a Fort Myers tide gauge reading of 5.27 feet above MHHW (NHC Milton report). Seven Lakes-specific damage from Milton: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

How many flood insurance claims were filed in ZIP 33907 after Ian?

FEMA recorded 48 National Flood Insurance Program claims in ZIP 33907 with a date of loss from September 26 to October 5, 2022 (OpenFEMA NFIP claims). That count covers the whole ZIP, which includes Seven Lakes plus surrounding subdivisions and commercial strips, so no claim can be attributed to Seven Lakes. OpenFEMA withholds street addresses.

Read it as context, not as a Seven Lakes loss count. With only 17 claims in residential buildings of more than four units across the whole ZIP, and a community of 1,096 units, the ZIP-level data does not suggest community-wide flooding, and it fits the association's own documentation of building-specific repairs.

How many flood policies were in force before Ian?

For policies effective between January 1 and September 20, 2022 in ZIP 33907, the OpenFEMA policy file reports a count of 1,195 policy records, and the 1,000 records returned show a median total annual premium of $689 and rated zones of AE (634) and X (353). Those figures are ZIP-wide, so use them as a rough shape of the local flood market, not a quote.

How Does Insurance Work for a Seven Lakes Condominium?

At Seven Lakes, each condominium association insures its own building and common elements under Florida Statutes chapter 718, while unit owners insure the interior, contents and loss assessment with an HO-6 policy and may add flood coverage. Wind mitigation forms, flood disclosure and Citizens eligibility all change what a particular unit costs to insure.

Data updated: November 2026 (Florida Statutes 2025; Seven Lakes Association wind mitigation forms dated April 2, 2025; Citizens Property Insurance and the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation).

What is the difference between a master policy and an HO-6 policy?

The condominium association carries the building (master) wind and flood coverage for its building and the common elements, and the association is responsible for insurance and reserves under Florida Statutes sections 718.111(11) and 718.112. A unit owner's HO-6 policy covers the interior of the unit, personal belongings, liability and loss assessment. Loss assessment matters at Seven Lakes because a building's repair bill after a covered loss, or a deductible, can be shared among owners.

Because every condominium at Seven Lakes is its own association with its own policy, the master policy for Condo 5 can differ from the master policy for Condo 49. Ask for the building's current certificate of insurance and its deductibles during the contract period. The association's published reserve studies show how each building funds its long-term repairs, and the fees section of this page explains what those figures mean.

How does flood insurance work for a Seven Lakes unit?

Flood is not part of a standard HO-6 policy. A unit owner can buy a National Flood Insurance Program or private flood policy for the unit's contents and interior, and the association buys flood coverage for the building. In Zone AE, a federally backed mortgage generally requires flood coverage on the building. The pre-Ian ZIP 33907 policy data shows condominium coverage types for association policies (252 of 1,000 returned records) and unit owner policies (164), so unit owner flood policies are common in the ZIP.

Lee County is a Community Rating System community. The CRS class on the Ian-window claims is 5 for unincorporated Lee County and 6 for the City of Fort Myers (FEMA CRS). Under the program rules, a class 5 community earns a 25 percent premium discount for policies in the special flood hazard area; confirm the discount your own policy receives with your agent.

What is the wind mitigation form, and does Seven Lakes have them?

A wind mitigation inspection documents roof shape, roof covering, opening protection and other features that can earn insurance discounts. Florida Statutes section 627.0629 requires insurers to offer discounts for verified mitigation features, and the Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form is the usual vehicle (s. 627.0629).

The Seven Lakes Association has posted signed wind mitigation forms prepared by Stone Building Solutions and dated April 2, 2025 for Condo 4 at 1724 Pine Valley Dr (built 1971, 3 stories per the form) (Condo 4 form) and Condo 23 at 1781 Pebble Beach Dr (Condo 23 form). Whether your building has a current form is a building-level question for the association.

What must a seller disclose about flooding?

Florida Statutes section 689.302 requires a seller's flood disclosure on residential sales, covering flood damage history, insurance claims, FEMA assistance and flood insurance (s. 689.302). Section 627.711 covers the insurer side, flood coverage disclosure (s. 627.711). A Seven Lakes seller whose building was one of the Ian repair buildings should expect buyers to ask for the repair permits and the engineer letter.

Can Seven Lakes owners use Citizens Property Insurance?

Citizens is Florida's insurer of last resort, and eligibility, rates and the unit-owner product depend on the policy and the building (Citizens Property Insurance). The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation publishes consumer information on rates and complaints (Florida OIR). We obtained no price quotes for Seven Lakes, so we do not print premium figures. Ask an independent insurance agent to quote the specific unit, and ask the association for the master policy details first, because a building's roof age and condition drive both availability and cost.

Which Schools Serve Seven Lakes Addresses?

Seven Lakes sits in Lee County School Board District 2, but school assignment does not apply to permanent residence there. The association's Rental Procedures bar permanent occupancy by anyone under 18, allowing no more than 30 days in any 12 months, so Seven Lakes addresses are not a school-zone decision.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County GIS School Board Districts layer queried October 28, 2026; Seven Lakes Rental Procedures current as of December 1, 2023).

What does the association's rule say about under-18 occupants?

The Rental Procedures state that at least one permanent occupant age 55 or older must live in each unit and that residents under 18 may not reside in the community more than 30 days in any 12 months (Rental Procedures). That is a published community rule, and it is why we do not publish school ratings or attendance zones here.

Where can I find the School Board district and school information?

The Lee County GIS School Board Districts layer places the community in District 2. The School District of Lee County publishes the district's information, including school zoning, at leeschools.net and its school zoning page. Address-level attendance zones for Seven Lakes: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

How Long Are the Drives From Seven Lakes?

From Seven Lakes, Bell Tower Shops is 4 minutes away, Lakes Regional Park and Florida SouthWestern State College about 5, HealthPark Medical Center 9, downtown Fort Myers 16, Fort Myers Beach 17 and Southwest Florida International Airport 19 minutes, by off-peak free-flow estimate from the golf and common parcel.

Data updated: November 2026 (US Census Bureau geocoder and OSRM routing service, queried October 28, 2026; no live traffic).

We measured every drive from one point: the center of the golf and common parcel at 1965 Seven Lakes Boulevard. Destinations were geocoded with the US Census Bureau geocoder and routed with the public OSRM service using a free-flow car profile and no live traffic. Treat the times as off-peak estimates. Season traffic on US 41 and Summerlin Road adds time.

Which hospitals are close to Seven Lakes?

HealthPark Medical Center at 9981 S HealthPark Dr is 4.4 miles and 9 minutes away. Lee Health describes it as a 326-bed, Magnet-designated hospital with a 24/7 emergency room (Lee Health). Lee Health Gulf Coast Medical Center at 13681 Doctors Way is 2.4 miles and 6 minutes away.

How far is the airport?

Southwest Florida International Airport is 10.7 miles and about 19 minutes away. The airport authority reports nonstop service to more than 80 destinations by 15 air carriers and more than 11.1 million passengers in 2025 (Lee County Port Authority).

What is the public transit situation?

LeeTran serves the US 41 corridor, including Route 50, "SWFL Airport / South Fort Myers Transfer" (LeeTran Route 50 schedule). The county's transit layer places Seven Lakes inside the three-quarter mile ADA corridor. Stop-level service at the Seven Lakes gate: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The community runs its own 24-passenger bus for residents, described in the amenities section above.

What parks are nearby?

Lakes Regional Park at 7330 Gladiolus Dr is 2.2 road miles from the community (Lee County Parks and Recreation). The Edison and Ford Winter Estates and Fort Myers Beach are in the drive-time table above.

What Is Planned Around Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes sits in the South Fort Myers planning community, where the county's future land use map designates the community "Intensive Development," a Future Urban Area category. We found no planned development project near Seven Lakes in a primary county source, so this section stays short and factual.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County GIS planning and zoning layers queried October 28, 2026).

What is the zoning and land use at Seven Lakes?

The community is zoned RPD (Residential Planned Development) within the Leisure Village Seven Lakes DRI, case DRI950269, with an initial approval in 1986 and 163.19 acres on the county's planned development layer (Lee County Planned Development). The county's future land use category is Intensive Development in the South Fort Myers plan community, which signals that the surrounding land is designated for urban-scale development.

Are there permits or projects in the pipeline?

Nearby planned development: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The county posts monthly permit logs, and the repair permits for Condo 3 and Condo 25 are described in the association's December 17, 2024 letter. The county's zoning case history for the community includes a closed and approved 2014 case for the east entrance improvement, which traded 7 vehicle parking spaces lost to accessibility improvements for 14 golf cart parking spaces.

How do I check for new projects myself?

Search the address on the Lee County Property Appraiser's site and open the county's planned development and zoning case pages, and watch the Lee County Board of County Commissioners agendas for the South Fort Myers planning community.

Seven Lakes vs Whiskey Creek: Which Fits You?

Seven Lakes and Whiskey Creek are both golf-oriented condominium neighborhoods in south Fort Myers, but they work differently. Seven Lakes has 1,096 condominium units and bundles golf into the association, while Whiskey Creek has 165 condominium units, much larger homes and a separate club membership. The choice comes down to the home and the monthly cost model you need.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County parcel layer, trailing 12 and 24 months to October 28, 2026; club membership page retrieved October 28, 2026).

We tracked both neighborhoods on the same yardstick: Lee County parcel roll, condominium units, last four recorded sales per parcel, qualified recorded sales only. Our Whiskey Creek page covers that neighborhood in full.

How do Seven Lakes and Whiskey Creek compare on the county record?

Sale proxy: improved parcel, transaction code 01, at least $20,000, last four sales per parcel, windows ending October 28, 2026.

How does the golf cost model differ?

At Seven Lakes, the golf course, tennis, pickleball, pools and fitness are bundled into the association assessment, with no separate golf membership to buy. At Whiskey Creek, a buyer buys the home and then a club membership. The club's membership page lists a 12-month annual single golfer membership at $2,500 or $235 a month, a household (2 golfers) membership at $4,200 a year or $380 a month, a single social membership at $250 a year, and seasonal golf options. Initiation fees are not stated on the page (Whiskey Creek membership page).

Seven Lakes monthly assessments: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). Monthly dues vary by building; ask for the building's current budget and reserve study during the contract period, then add that cost to the home price when you compare against a Whiskey Creek home plus club dues.

How does home size compare?

Whiskey Creek condominiums are one-story homes with a median of 1,574 heated square feet. The Seven Lakes median is 1,064 square feet, and the Seven Lakes villa-style condominiums run about 1,300 to 1,465 square feet. In the recorded sales, a Seven Lakes mid-rise two-bedroom has a median of 1,011 heated square feet in the 24 months to October 28, 2026, while a villa-style two-bedroom has a median of 1,314.

How does entry price compare?

Seven Lakes is the lower-entry option. In the 12 months to October 28, 2026 the Seven Lakes median recorded sale was $109,000 against $300,000 at Whiskey Creek. The two neighborhoods are different products at different prices, so a price per square foot comparison is more useful: $108 at Seven Lakes against $178 at Whiskey Creek.

Which one fits: a decision table by home and cost need

Who should choose which, by home and cost needs?

Choose Seven Lakes if the home you need is a lower-priced condominium, you want golf, tennis, pools and a restaurant in one assessment, and you are comfortable reading a building's reserve study and milestone status before you buy. Choose a Seven Lakes villa-style condominium if you need a one- or two-story home with no elevator and a mid-size footprint at a price below Whiskey Creek.

Choose Whiskey Creek if the home you need is a larger one-story condominium of about 1,500 square feet or more, you are willing to pay a higher purchase price, and you prefer to buy a club membership separately only if you want golf. If you compare the two, add the building assessment and any club dues to the monthly cost of each, because that, not the sale price, decides the real monthly cost.

How Does Seven Lakes Compare With Sunset Pointe and The Landings?

Seven Lakes is the larger and lower-priced bundled-golf option next to Sunset Pointe at Fort Myers, a same-ZIP condominium with 104 units and no golf course, and The Landings Yacht, Golf and Tennis Club, a club-membership community on a leased recreation parcel. The comparison is easiest on the county's own yardsticks.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County parcel layer and Property Appraiser, trailing 12 and 24 months to October 28, 2026; club websites).

How do the three compare on the same yardstick?

What is Sunset Pointe at Fort Myers, and why is it confused with Seven Lakes?

Sunset Pointe at Fort Myers is a 104-unit condominium on Kenwood Lane in ZIP 33907, one and two stories, built 1975 to 2006. No golf course appears on its parcels, and no age restriction was found in a primary source. It shares the Seven Lakes ZIP, which is why some property feeds mislabel Kenwood Lane addresses as Seven Lakes. Kenwood Lane is not part of Seven Lakes; see our Sunset Pointe page for that community.

How is The Landings Yacht, Golf and Tennis Club different?

The Landings is a club on Flagship Drive in ZIP 33919. The county records its golf course and recreational parcels as 76.31 acres with the legal description "GOLF COURSE AND ALL LEASE RECREATIONAL PARCELS" and a recorded transfer of $7,950,000 in 2002 (Lee County Property Appraiser). The club's own site lists Social, Dining, Pool and Tennis associate memberships, with no fees stated on the page (The Landings membership page).

The Landings course redesign is credited to Kipp Schulties Golf Design, the same architect as Seven Lakes, and the architect's page lists the Landings course as a par 59, 3,031 yard redesign from 2013 (Kipp Schulties Golf Design). A club-membership model on a leased recreation parcel is structurally different from Seven Lakes, where the master association owns the golf parcel outright.

Where does Seven Lakes win and lose against them?

Where Seven Lakes wins on the record:

• Entry price. The trailing 12-month recorded median of $109,000 is the lowest in this set.
• Fixed-cost model. Golf, tennis, pickleball, six pools and a 40,000 square foot Pavilion are covered by the association assessment instead of separate club dues.
• Published age occupancy rule. Seven Lakes publishes its rule; neither comparison neighborhood publishes one in the sources we found.

Where it gives ground:

• Building age and reserves. Seven Lakes mid-rise buildings were built 1971 to 1989 and are subject to milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules. The one- and two-story comparison homes are not subject to the structural integrity reserve study.
• Home size. The Seven Lakes median is 1,064 square feet against 1,574 at Whiskey Creek.

Why Buy in Seven Lakes: Honest Pros and Cons

Seven Lakes offers the lowest entry price in the south Fort Myers golf set, bundled golf, tennis and pools, and a gated, central location. Its drawbacks are older mid-rise buildings with reserve and inspection costs, small median home size, a mixed flood map and an age-restricted occupancy rule. The right answer depends on the building.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County recorded sales to October 28, 2026; Seven Lakes Association documents; FEMA flood layer queried October 28, 2026).

Here is what we would tell a client over coffee, building by building rather than community by community. If you want to browse available homes after reading this page, see the Seven Lakes listings on our team site.

What are the pros of Seven Lakes?

• Low entry price. The 12-month recorded median is $109,000 across 65 recorded sales, with sales from $35,000 to $254,250.
• Golf and recreation in one assessment. An executive-length 18-hole course, six Har-Tru tennis courts, pickleball, six pools, a fitness center and a 40,000 square foot Pavilion are bundled, with no separate golf membership to buy.
• A choice of home types. 238 villa-style units sit in one- and two-story condominiums, and 858 mid-rise units sit in mid-rise buildings of three to six stories. Villa-style units sold at a median of $224,900 in 2026 against $84,500 for mid-rise units.
• Gated, with services on site. The county records the community as gated, and the association runs a restaurant, a staffed Lifestyle department and a resident bus.
• Central location. Bell Tower Shops are 4 minutes away, HealthPark Medical Center 9 minutes, and Southwest Florida International Airport about 19 minutes.
• Recent course and court investment. The course was redesigned in 2020 and the tennis courts were renovated in 2022.
• Published building documents. The association posts reserve studies, wind mitigation forms and a milestone letter, so a careful buyer can read before offering.

What are the cons of Seven Lakes?

• Older mid-rise buildings. The mid-rise buildings were built 1971 to 1989, and every building three stories or higher falls under milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study rules. Costs of those requirements flow to owners.
• Fee uncertainty. Monthly assessments are not public, and they vary by building. Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01) for a single dues figure.
• Small homes. The community median is 1,064 heated square feet, with mid-rise one-bedrooms near 782 square feet.
• Mixed flood map. 7 of the 15 sampled buildings are in Zone AE, and the 2022 map raised the base flood elevation at the golf parcel from 7 to 9 feet.
• Storm repairs in two buildings. Condo 3 and Condo 25 were still in final permitted repairs from Hurricane Ian in December 2024.
• A falling price trend. The yearly median recorded price fell from $210,000 in 2022 to $109,000 in 2026, so pricing a unit takes care and building-level comparables.
• An age occupancy rule and a rental limit. At least one permanent occupant must be 55 or older, and the minimum rental period is 120 days with Board approval, which limits investor flexibility.
• Thin comparables. Some buildings had one sale or none in 24 months, so a building-specific price is harder to support.

How should a buyer weigh these?

Read the building, not the community. Ask for the building's budget, reserve study, master insurance certificate, milestone and structural integrity reserve study status, any pending special assessment and the elevation or flood zone of the specific address. We tracked every recorded sale by address, so we can show you how the building you like has traded and what its neighbors sold for. Our guide to buying a home in Fort Myers covers offers, inspections, insurance and closing costs, and you can reach us through our contact page.

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

Seven Lakes sellers get the best result when a unit is priced by its own building, floor and segment, because mid-rise and villa-style condominiums trade at very different levels. McGreevy and Comisar price every Seven Lakes listing against the county's recorded sales, the building's reserve study and its milestone status.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County parcel layer, recorded sales, 12 months to October 28, 2026, our analysis).

If you're searching for a Seven Lakes listing agent, or thinking, "I need someone to sell my Seven Lakes condo...", you are choosing between a team that reads the market from a portal and a team that reads it from the record. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar price Seven Lakes units against every recorded sale in the building and the segment, keep the mid-rise and villa-style condominiums apart, and put the flood map, the reserve study and the milestone letter in front of a buyer before the buyer has to ask.

The numbers behind the pitch

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County parcel layer, recorded sales, 12 months to October 28, 2026, our analysis).

Lee County recorded 65 qualified Seven Lakes sales in the 12 months to October 28, 2026, a median of $109,000 and a range of $35,000 to $254,250, which is about five sales a month across 1,096 units (our arithmetic). We tracked every one of those sales by address, unit, sale date and county instrument number. In 2026 to date the mid-rise buildings had 44 sales at a $84,500 median and the villa-style condominiums had 17 sales at a $224,900 median, so a single "Seven Lakes price" would mislead you in both directions.

How we price a Seven Lakes unit

A Seven Lakes price starts with the segment, then the building, then the floor. We compare your unit with closed sales in the same condominium first, because the last 12 months of recorded sales ran from $35,000 to $254,250 across the community. We then adjust for floor level, view, size and condition, and we read the building's reserve study and milestone status the way a buyer's lender will. Information on a building's special assessments and budget comes from the association, so we ask for it before we set a number.

What makes selling here different

Seven Lakes buyers ask the same six questions before they write: what are the monthly dues and what do they cover, what does the building's reserve study say, has the building passed its milestone inspection, is the building in FEMA Zone AE or shaded Zone X, can the buyer rent the unit, and does the buyer meet the association's occupancy rule. We read every public reserve study and the association's December 17, 2024 milestone letter, and we bring those answers to the listing so the buyer does not have to hunt for them. Florida also requires a flood disclosure at or before contract (section 689.302).

Your selling costs

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 (section 201.02) and the owner's title policy; the contract controls. On a $109,000 sale that tax is $763, our arithmetic. A unit owner is also jointly liable with the previous owner for unpaid assessments up to the transfer of title (section 718.116), so plan to settle the account with the association before closing.

Seller questions, answered short

The six questions Seven Lakes sellers ask us first, answered from the record.

Which Seven Lakes sale is the right comparison for my unit?

The closed sale in your own condominium, on a similar floor and size, from the last 12 months.

Will the age rule limit my buyers?

The association's published occupancy rule asks for at least one permanent occupant aged 55 or older in each unit.

Is my building in a flood zone?

Some Seven Lakes buildings are in Zone AE and some in shaded Zone X, so check your own building.

What will a buyer want from the association?

The building budget, the reserve study and the milestone inspection status.

Does the roll value set my price?

No, the appraiser's value is a January 1 estimate and a closed sale is what a buyer paid.

How fast can I list?

Frequently Asked Questions: Buyer Edition

Seven Lakes buyers ask what the community is, what the age rule requires, what the golf and amenities cost, how the flood zones read and what the units have sold for. Each answer draws on a county record, a statute, the association's own documents or our analysis, and where a fact is not published we say so.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County Property Appraiser and parcel layer, October 28, 2026; recorded sales, 12 months to October 28, 2026; FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, October 28, 2026; Seven Lakes Association documents).

What is Seven Lakes in Fort Myers?

Seven Lakes is a gated, 55 and older condominium community at 1965 Seven Lakes Boulevard, Fort Myers 33907, in unincorporated Lee County. It has 1,096 condominium units in 30 separately recorded condominiums, built from 1971 to 1991 around an executive-length 18-hole golf course owned by the master association, Seven Lakes Association, Inc.

Is Seven Lakes a 55+ community?

Yes, as the association's published policy. The association calls itself a 55 plus community, and its lease form requires at least one permanent occupant aged 55 or older in each unit, with no permanent occupancy by anyone under 18 beyond 30 days in any 12 months. The recorded declarations are where the covenant lives, so confirm the terms for your building.

Is Seven Lakes a gated community?

Yes. Lee County's GIS subdivisions layer records Seven Lakes as gated, and the association describes "a sense of safety and peace of mind that only a gated community can provide." The rules for guests, contractors and deliveries sit behind the residents' login on the association site, so ask the association office for them.

How many homes are in Seven Lakes?

There are 1,096 condominium units on the county roll, and the association's own site states the same number. Of those, 238 are villa-style one- and two-story units in 14 condominiums and 858 are mid-rise units of three to six stories. The roll also carries 26 common-element parcels, including the golf course.

Is golf included at Seven Lakes?

Yes, golf is a bundled amenity. The master association owns the 18-hole course on an 85.99-acre common parcel, and the association lists golf with tennis, pickleball, pools and a fitness center as bundled amenities. Tee times run through the Pro Shop at 239-481-6560. Guest fees and non-resident play: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

Do I need a separate golf membership at Seven Lakes?

No separate golf membership is described, because the course belongs to the master association and the association lists golf among its bundled amenities. That differs from Whiskey Creek, where the club's membership page lists a 12 month annual single golfer membership at $2,500 a year on top of the home. Ask for the current budget to see what is bundled.

Who owns the Seven Lakes golf course?

Seven Lakes Association, Inc. owns it. The county roll shows the golf course and all common parcels as Lee County folio 10210104, 85.99 acres at 1965 Seven Lakes Blvd, zoned Residential Planned Development, with the association as owner of record. The unit owners elect the board that oversees the association.

Is the Seven Lakes golf course par 60?

Per the GolfLink course database, the course is par 60 at 3,515 yards, with a slope of 94 and a rating of 57.2. The association does not print par on its golf page, so we call it an executive-length 18-hole course. Kipp Schulties Golf Design handled the redesign, and the summer maintenance closure is one weekday a week from May through October 1.

How many tennis courts does Seven Lakes have?

Seven Lakes has six Har-Tru clay tennis courts with shaded gallery seating. They were renovated in 2022, and the association's newsletter lists a grand opening at 2:00 PM on February 18, 2022. A USPTA tennis pro offers clinics and private lessons, according to the association's tennis page.

Does Seven Lakes have pickleball?

Yes. The association's pickleball page describes league and casual play as "always in demand." Seven Lakes also lists bocce, shuffleboard courts with shaded areas, a woodshop and a fitness center with aerobic machines, free weights and classes such as yoga, stretch and tone, and water aerobics.

How many pools does Seven Lakes have?

Seven Lakes has six outdoor swimming pools, including an Olympic size pool, with tiki huts, lounge chairs, restrooms and gas grills according to the association's pools page. The pavilion, a 40,000 square foot complex, adds an auditorium, card rooms, a billiards room, a library and hobby rooms.

Does Seven Lakes have a restaurant?

Yes. The Tee Room is the community's restaurant and full-service bar, reached at (239) 433-0047 per the association's Tee Room page. The association lists an in-house restaurant among the features that stand out about living in Seven Lakes, along with gated security and bundled amenities.

Does Seven Lakes have its own bus?

Yes. The association runs a 24 passenger bus on site with its own driver, offering regular weekly trips to grocery and retail stores plus outings. The association's calendar listed a Fort Myers Beach bus trip at $9.00 per person for October 28, 2026, so check the current schedule with the lifestyle office.

What are the HOA fees at Seven Lakes?

Monthly dues vary by building, because each of the 30 condominiums has its own budget and reserves in addition to the master association's. We never print a single dues figure for that reason. Ask the seller or the association for the building's current budget and reserve study during the contract period, and compare them with the building reserve figures in the next question.

What do the Seven Lakes reserve studies show?

The association posts reserve studies for Condos 5, 21A, 21B and 22 for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. They recommend annual reserve contributions of $18,500 (69 units), $24,000 (50 units), $17,000 (54 units) and $25,500 (64 units), and estimated balances of $151,398, $119,103, $112,028 and $80,497. These are building reserve line items, not total dues.

Does Seven Lakes have a special assessment?

The four public reserve studies for Condos 5, 21A, 21B and 22 each report special assessments of $0 for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. For the other buildings: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). Ask for the building's budget, minutes and any pending assessment before you write an offer.

Does Seven Lakes allow rentals?

Yes, with limits. The association's Rental Procedures set a minimum rental period of 120 days, require the Board to approve each tenant individually with forms in the office 30 working days before arrival, and charge a non-refundable $150 lease-processing fee. Individual declarations may add caps or longer minimums, so check your building's.

Can I rent my Seven Lakes condo short term?

No. The association's minimum rental period is 120 days, so nightly and weekly rentals are not permitted under its published procedure. Tenants are also approved individually by the Board, must show proof of age for each occupant, and need a vehicle barcode decal at $10 per vehicle, so plan the approval time before any lease starts.

Are pets allowed at Seven Lakes?

For tenants, the association's lease form states a limit of one pet under 25 pounds, approved by the owner, with a Pet Owner Registration form required. The form does not set out owner pet rules, and building declarations can differ. Ask the association for the current pet policy for your building before you commit.

Can people under 18 live at Seven Lakes?

Not for more than 30 days in any 12 months. The association's lease form states that persons under 18 may not permanently reside in or occupy a unit beyond that, though guests may stay up to 30 days. Because of that rule, school assignment does not apply to permanent residence at Seven Lakes.

What is the minimum age at Seven Lakes?

The association's lease form requires that at least one person aged 55 or older be a permanent occupant of each unit while anyone occupies it. Permanent occupancy, meaning more than 30 days in a calendar year, is limited to three persons unless a condominium declaration says otherwise. Tenants show a driver's license as proof of age.

What is the HOPA 55 and older exemption?

Federal law exempts housing intended and operated for persons 55 or older from the familial-status rules if at least 80 percent of occupied units have an occupant 55 or older, the community publishes and follows age policies, and it verifies occupancy by surveys at least every two years (42 U.S.C. 3607(b)(2)(C)). Florida's section 760.29 mirrors it.

Is Seven Lakes in a flood zone?

It depends on the building. We mapped 15 building points against FEMA's flood map: 7 were Zone AE with a base flood elevation of 9 feet and 8 were shaded Zone X, all on panel 12071C0417G effective November 17, 2022. Ground elevations at those points ran from 7.1 to 10.0 feet. Check your own building's zone.

Did Seven Lakes flood in Hurricane Ian?

The association's documents show two buildings, Condo 3 at 1740 Pine Valley Dr and Condo 25 at 6220 Augusta Dr, were damaged by Ian and were in the final permitted stages of repair in December 2024. FEMA recorded 48 flood insurance claims in ZIP 33907 for the Ian window, a ZIP-wide count, so no claim can be tied to Seven Lakes.

What is the evacuation zone for Seven Lakes?

Lee County's evacuation layer returned surge zone 1 at the 15 building points and surge zone 2 at the golf parcel centroid. The layer uses numeric values, and the county's own description says zones are now named A through E, so we do not state a letter. Enter your address in the county's Know Your Zone lookup.

Do Seven Lakes buildings have milestone inspections?

Yes. The association's engineer letter of December 17, 2024 reported 13 mid-rise buildings inspected and passing Milestone Phase 1: Condos 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 20, 21A, 21B, 22, 23, 24 and 46. Condos 3 and 25 were in final permitted Ian repairs, with documentation due in the first quarter of 2025. Phase 2 outcomes: Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01).

What is a structural integrity reserve study?

It is a study Florida requires at least every 10 years for condominium buildings three habitable stories or higher, covering the roof, structure, fireproofing, plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, windows and other items over $25,000 (section 718.112). For associations in existence on or before July 1, 2022, the deadline was December 31, 2025, as amended by the 2025 legislature.

Are the Seven Lakes villas subject to the structural reserve study?

The one- and two-story villa-style condominiums sit below the three-story trigger in section 718.112, so the structural study applies to the mid-rise buildings. The villa-style units are Condos 1, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44A, 45, 47, 48, 49, 50A, 50B and 52, built from 1979 to 1991. Their declarations and budgets still govern reserves.

How much do Seven Lakes condos cost?

Lee County recorded 65 qualified sales in the 12 months to October 28, 2026, at a median of $109,000, a low of $35,000 and a high of $254,250. By size, one-bedroom units had a median of $59,950 (14 sales), two-bedroom units $119,000 (47 sales) and three-bedroom units $237,000 (4 sales). The segment matters more than the average.

How much do the Seven Lakes villa-style condominiums sell for?

In 2026 to date the villa-style condominiums had 17 recorded sales at a median of $224,900, with a middle range of $185,000 to $240,000, against a median of $323,160 in 2022. Mid-rise buildings are far lower, with 44 sales at a $84,500 median in 2026 to date, so never read one number for both.

Are Seven Lakes prices dropping?

Recorded medians have fallen since 2022. Mid-rise buildings went from $190,000 in 2022 to $84,500 in 2026 to date, and villa-style condominiums from $323,160 to $224,900. That is a record of closed sales, not a forecast, and 2026 is a partial year through October 28.

What is the lowest price at Seven Lakes?

The lowest qualified sale in the last 12 months was $35,000, a two-bedroom, 1,006 square foot unit at 1828 Pine Valley Dr on May 5, 2026. One-bedroom units had a median of $59,950. Prices that low usually reflect a unit's condition, floor and building, so pair any low price with the building's reserve study and budget.

How big are Seven Lakes condos?

Heated area on the county roll runs from 609 to 1,695 square feet, with a median of 1,064. By bedrooms, 195 units have one bedroom, 834 have two and 67 have three. The villa-style units run larger, with a typical range of 1,102 to 1,661 square feet in the Oakmont and Medinah condominiums.

When was Seven Lakes built, and who built it?

The buildings date from 1971 to 1991, with a median year of 1976. The association says Seven Lakes Golf and Tennis was started in the early 1970s by the Leisure Technology Corporation of Florida, and the county's planned-development record is titled Leisure Village Seven Lakes DRI. Once the community was complete, it was transferred to the owners to run through a master association.

Which streets are in Seven Lakes?

Pine Valley Dr (397 units), Lake Breeze Dr (238), Augusta Dr (180), Pebble Beach Dr (107), Bent Tree Cir (52), Oakmont Dr (48), Pine Glade Cir (44), Medinah Cir W (24) and Leisure Dr (6). The street names come from famous golf courses, which helps you spot the Oakmont and Medinah villa streets.

Is Kenwood Lane part of Seven Lakes?

No. Kenwood Ln is Sunset Pointe at Fort Myers and a business and professional village, not Seven Lakes, and a listing on Kenwood Ln tagged to Seven Lakes is a mis-tag unless its legal description says Seven Lakes. See our page on Sunset Pointe for that community.

How far is Seven Lakes from the airport and the beach?

Southwest Florida International Airport is 10.7 road miles and about 19 minutes away, and Fort Myers Beach (Times Square area) is 9.4 miles and about 17 minutes, in free-flow routing. Downtown Fort Myers is 7.6 miles and about 16 minutes. Season traffic on US 41 and Summerlin Road adds time.

Do I need flood insurance for a Seven Lakes condo?

A lender requires it when the building sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area such as Zone AE and the loan is federally backed, so check the building's zone first. The association insures the building and common elements, while owners insure interiors, contents and loss assessment with an HO-6 policy and may add a flood policy.

Who manages Seven Lakes?

Seven Lakes Association, Inc. manages the golf course, amenities, gate, roads, drainage and staff, under an owner-elected Board of Directors. Each of the 30 condominiums has its own association and budget for the building structure, roof, elevators, insurance and reserves. That means two layers of governance and two budgets, and a buyer should read both.

Do Seven Lakes mid-rise buildings have elevators?

The mid-rise buildings are the three- to six-story elevator buildings, Condos 2 to 8, 20A, 20B, 21A, 21B, 22 to 25 and 46, while the villa-style units are one and two stories. Elevator age and condition are building-level questions, so ask for the building's reserve study and maintenance records.

How does Seven Lakes compare with Whiskey Creek?

Seven Lakes bundles golf into its association, while a Whiskey Creek buyer buys a home and then a club membership. On the county roll Seven Lakes has 1,096 units with a 1,064 square foot median and a $122,863 median roll value, against 165 Whiskey Creek condominium units at 1,574 square feet and $207,453. See Whiskey Creek.

How do I look up a Seven Lakes unit on the county record?

Search the address or the STRAP number at the Lee County Property Appraiser and read the legal description, which begins "SEVEN LAKES CONDO" for a unit. The county carries 1,122 parcels with that legal description, 1,096 units and 26 common-element parcels. Deeds and declarations are searchable at the Lee County Clerk's official records.

What should a buyer ask for before closing at Seven Lakes?

Ask for the building's current budget, its reserve study, any pending special assessment, the milestone inspection status, the building's insurance summary and its declaration. Also ask for a written statement of what the unit owes, because a buyer is jointly liable with the previous owner for unpaid assessments up to transfer. Our guide to buying a home in Fort Myers covers the contract steps.

Frequently Asked Questions: Seller Edition

Seven Lakes sellers ask what a unit is worth, how the segment and building change the price, and what they must disclose to a buyer. Each answer draws on a county record, a statute, the association's own documents or our analysis of recorded sales, and where a fact is not published we say so.

Data updated: November 2026 (Lee County parcel layer, recorded sales, 12 months to October 28, 2026, our analysis; FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, October 28, 2026; 2025 Florida Statutes).

How do I sell a condo in Seven Lakes in Fort Myers?

McGreevy and Comisar, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, start with a pricing read on your own condominium, gather the building's budget, reserve study and milestone status, answer the flood disclosure, and then list. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072, text or call, to start. Our guide to selling a home in Fort Myers covers the steps.

What is my Seven Lakes condo worth?

It depends on segment, building, floor, size and condition. In 2026 to date the mid-rise buildings had a median of $84,500 (44 sales) and the villa-style condominiums $224,900 (17 sales). Our free home valuation applies those comparisons to your address and unit.

How many Seven Lakes homes sold in the last 12 months?

Lee County recorded 65 qualified sales in the 12 months to October 28, 2026, 119 in 24 months and 182 in 36 months. Medians were $109,000, $122,500 and $148,000, and the 12-month price per heated square foot was $108. These are county recorded sales, which include sales the MLS never sees.

What do mid-rise Seven Lakes condos sell for?

In 2026 to date the 44 mid-rise sales had a median of $84,500, with the middle half between $60,000 and $114,000, and a median of $88 per square foot. In 2022 the median was $190,000, so the mid-rise buildings have repriced sharply, and your building's own sales matter more than the average.

What do Seven Lakes villa-style condominiums sell for?

In 2026 to date the 17 villa-style sales had a median of $224,900, with the middle half between $185,000 and $240,000, and $161 per square foot. The 2022 median was $323,160. Over the last 24 months, two-bedroom villa-style units had a median of $240,000 and three-bedroom units $245,000.

Does the floor level change the price at Seven Lakes?

In the mid-rise buildings, yes. Over 36 months the median two-bedroom sale was $125,000 on floor 1 (25 sales), $122,500 on floor 2 (29), $133,400 on floor 3 (28) and $172,625 on floor 4 (12). Floors 5 and 6 had two sales each, too few for a median, so we compare your unit with its own building.

How do one, two and three bedroom units differ in price?

In the 12 months to October 28, 2026, one-bedroom units had a median of $59,950 (14 sales), two-bedroom units $119,000 (47 sales) and three-bedroom units $237,000 (4 sales). Three-bedroom units are mostly villa-style, so the three-bedroom figure reflects a different segment rather than a premium for one more room.

Which Seven Lakes buildings turn over most?

In the last 24 months, the villa-style Condo 42 had 6 sales on 22 units (27.3 percent), Condo 43 had 5 on 22 (22.7 percent) and Condo 45 had 5 on 24 (20.8 percent). Among mid-rise buildings, Condo 2 had 9 on 48 units (18.8 percent) and Condo 21B had 10 on 54 (18.5 percent).

How long will it take to sell a Seven Lakes condo?

Days on market is an MLS figure, and for Seven Lakes it is Information not available at time of publishing (checked 2026-11-01). The county shows about five recorded sales a month over the last 12 months, so a correctly priced unit competes with a steady but thin flow of sales.

Should I sell my Seven Lakes condo now?

We make no price forecast. The record shows recorded medians have fallen since 2022 in both segments, that 2026 sales are running at a pace of 61 so far this year, and that buyers ask about reserves and milestone status. If you plan to sell, a pricing read on your building tells you where you stand today.

How does the roll value compare with a Seven Lakes sale price?

Over the last 24 months the median ratio of sale price to current roll just value was 1.00 across 119 sales, so the roll roughly tracks recent sales overall. The median 2026 roll just value is $122,863. Treat the roll as a cross-check and not as an offer, and compare your unit with its own sales.

Why is Condo 25 different in the data?

Condo 25 at 6220 Augusta Dr shows a median roll just value of $3,755 against about $96,860 for sister buildings of similar age, consistent with its Hurricane Ian damage and repairs described in the association's December 17, 2024 letter. We treat its sales as a separate group: 16 qualified sales from 2023 to 2026 at a $76,250 median.

What documents will a Seven Lakes buyer ask for?

The building's budget and reserve study, the milestone inspection status, any pending special assessment, the declaration and rules, the insurance summary, the flood disclosure and a written statement of what the unit owes. Request them early so the buyer reviews them during the contract period rather than at the end.

Does the association have to approve my buyer?

The approval terms for a sale sit in each building's recorded declaration, which you can search at the Lee County Clerk's official records. The association's published rules do require Board approval of each tenant. Request the declaration and the association's written position early, so a buyer's timeline does not stall.

Can my buyer be under 55?

The association's published occupancy rule asks for at least one permanent occupant aged 55 or older in each unit, and persons under 18 may not reside more than 30 days in any 12 months. We do not describe who should buy. Confirm the exact terms in your building's declaration and with the association office before you market.

Can I sell to a buyer who will rent the unit?

Yes, within the rules. The association's Rental Procedures set a 120-day minimum, individual Board approval of each tenant 30 working days before arrival, a $150 lease-processing fee and a signed Fair Housing Act form with proof of age. Building declarations may add limits, so give an investor buyer those rules up front.

Do reserve studies affect my sale price?

They affect what a buyer is willing to pay, since they show what a building sets aside. For fiscal year 2025 to 2026, Condo 5 recommended $18,500 a year with $151,398 estimated, Condo 21A $24,000 with $119,103, Condo 21B $17,000 with $112,028 and Condo 22 $25,500 with $80,497. Give buyers your building's study.

Does the milestone inspection status affect my sale?

Buyers ask about it for any building of three stories or more. The association's December 17, 2024 letter lists 13 buildings passing Milestone Phase 1, and Condos 3 and 25 in final Ian repairs. If your building is on the passing list, say so, and have the letter ready for the buyer.

Do I have to disclose special assessments?

Tell the buyer about any assessment already approved or proposed, and get it in writing from the association. The four public reserve studies report special assessments of $0 for the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2025. A buyer is jointly liable with the previous owner for unpaid assessments up to transfer (section 718.116).

Do I need a flood disclosure to sell a Seven Lakes condo?

Yes. Florida requires a seller to complete and provide the flood disclosure to a purchaser of residential real property at or before the time the sales contract is executed (section 689.302). It asks about flood damage knowledge, flood claims and flood assistance such as FEMA aid, and it notes homeowners policies do not cover floods.

Does the flood zone change my Seven Lakes price?

We cannot isolate it from the sales, because Zone AE and shaded Zone X buildings sit side by side and differ in age and size. Of 15 building points we mapped, 7 were AE and 8 were shaded X. What the zone changes is the buyer's math, so have the building's zone and an insurance quote ready.

What if my building was damaged in a hurricane?

The flood disclosure asks whether you know of flooding that damaged the unit, whether you filed a flood claim and whether you received flood assistance. Keep your repair records, and give the buyer the association's description of any building repairs. The association reports Condo 3 and Condo 25 as the buildings damaged by Hurricane Ian.

Do I need an elevation certificate to sell?

Section 689.302 does not mention one, and a requirement for condominium units is not something we found. A buyer or an insurer may ask for it, particularly in a Zone AE building with a base flood elevation of 9 feet. Ask your association whether one exists for the building.

How much are documentary stamps on a Seven Lakes sale?

The documentary stamp tax on the deed is $0.70 per $100 of consideration under section 201.02, customarily paid by the seller. On a $109,000 sale that is $763 and on a $224,900 sale it is $1,574, our arithmetic. Title costs and other closing items follow the contract.

What does a listing agent charge in Fort Myers?

A listing agent's fee is set by a written listing agreement and is negotiable. As Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, we explain ours at the listing consultation, so call Jesse at (239) 898-6072. We also explain which costs belong to the seller, which to the buyer and which to the association.

What should I fix before listing a Seven Lakes condo?

Fix what sits inside your unit, since the building structure, roof, elevators and insurance belong to the condominium association. Focus on interior condition, air conditioning, kitchen and baths, and have your reserve study and budget on hand. We walk through the unit with you and rank the work by what a buyer will price.

Does the building's age affect my price?

The record points that way, though it is not proof of cause. Over 36 months, units in buildings completed 1971 to 1972 had a median of $105,000 (53 sales) and 1977 to 1981 a median of $227,250 (46 sales). Those groups mix mid-rise and villa-style units, so compare within your segment.

Which recent sale is my comparable?

Use a closed sale in your own condominium, on a similar floor and of a similar size, with the most recent date. We tracked the recorded sales by address, unit and county instrument number, and we start with the closest sales to your unit. A sale in a different building or segment is context, not a comparable.

How do I find which Seven Lakes condominium I own?

Your unit number and building address identify it. The county carries 30 recorded condominiums, such as Condo 5 at 1700 Pine Valley Dr or Condo 42 on Pine Glade Cir, and the legal description on the parcel page reads "SEVEN LAKES CONDO" followed by the number. Search your address at the Lee County Property Appraiser.

How do I price my unit if sales are thin in my building?

Start with the segment's recent sales, then adjust for building, floor and condition. If your building had one or two sales, we widen to similar buildings by age and floor plan, and flag the difference. The 24-month table by condominium shows turnover from 0 to 10 sales per building, so some buildings need that wider view.
