The Renaissance is a gated, master-planned golf community of about 507 acres in Fort Myers, Florida, set north of Daniels Parkway and west of I-75 around an Arthur Hills course. The county roll counts 385 homesites across six named sections, Terabella, Vittoria, Monteverdi, Villagio, Via Lago and the Triana condominiums, all wrapped around The Club at Renaissance, a private club owned since 2022 by a Concert Golf Partners affiliate (Lee County Ordinance 01-10; Lee County GIS, Subdivisions layer; The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). Not to be confused with the Renaissance condominium on Winkler Avenue or Renaissance Preserve, both elsewhere in Fort Myers.

This guide is built the way we price a listing here. It starts from 21 Lee County recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, the county roll dated October 4, 2026, the Renaissance Community Development District's adopted budget for fiscal year 2027, the two zoning resolutions of 2001 and 2002, the club's own 2026 membership booklet and FEMA's flood layers. If you own here, the market section shows what homes like yours have sold for, section by section and street by street. If you are buying, the fee, club and neighborhood sections show what you will pay, what to request before closing, and where the record goes silent.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for The Renaissance

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for The Renaissance because the case rests on the record: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008, over $900 million in personal sales, and a Renaissance market read built on 21 recorded sales, the CDD's fiscal 2027 budget and FEMA's flood maps.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

If you're searching for the best realtor for The Renaissance, whether you're ready to sell your Renaissance home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Nationally since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and Jesse and Marc together account for over $900 million in personal sales inside that number. Domain Realty Group is the #5 real estate team in Florida (RealTrends 2026).

The Renaissance, last 12 months (Lee County record): Across the county record, in the last 12 months we tracked 21 closings in The Renaissance at a $910,000 median, from $430,000 to $2,330,000; 13 were single-family homes at a $1,420,000 median and none were builder-direct (an estimate). Those 21 sales carried $22,916,890 in recorded dollar volume. Days on market and sale-to-list, from the Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix export of October 29, 2026, 21 closings in the 12 months to that date): a median 149 days on market and a median 93.42 percent of the final list price. Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis. The market section below breaks those 21 sales out by product, section, street and calendar year.

For luxury Renaissance sellers: Premium marketing, cinematic video, drone, professional photography, qualified-buyer database, discretion and off-market capability when needed.

A sale in The Renaissance also runs on paperwork that has to be ordered in the right sequence, and some of it is published nowhere. The Renaissance Community Association does not publish its assessment, so the estoppel certificate is the document that states it, and Florida law caps what an association may charge for one. A Triana owner's buyer needs a second estoppel from the condominium association. The CDD line on your tax bill depends on the product row the district assigned to your lot, from $1,406.77 to $6,788.51 in fiscal year 2027, and a buyer will ask whether the bond piece was ever prepaid (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027; Renaissance CDD, Assessments). We pull all of it before we price.

Key Takeaways: What Should The Renaissance Buyers and Sellers Know?

The Renaissance comes down to eight facts a buyer or seller should hold first: its size and setting, what sold and for how much, its six sections, who owns the club and what it charges, the course, the CDD line on the tax bill, the flood map, and the construction at its edges.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026; CDD FY 2027 budget approved August 10, 2026; club 2026 membership booklet and FEMA flood layers read October 21, 2026).

• Size and setting: The Renaissance is a gated golf community of 385 homesites on about 507 acres in unincorporated Lee County, Fort Myers 33912, north of Daniels Parkway and west of I-75 (Lee County Ordinance 01-10; Renaissance CDD).
• What sold: in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 the county recorded 21 sales at a $910,000 median: single-family homes at a $1,420,000 median on 13 sales, and Triana condominiums at a $506,000 median on 10 sales over 24 months (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis).
• Six sections, six products: Terabella and Vittoria estates, Monteverdi executive homes, Villagio's smaller detached villas, Via Lago's newer homes on its own plat, and the 130 Triana coach-home condominiums.
• The club: The Club at Renaissance is privately owned by a Concert Golf Partners affiliate since 2022; the club says community membership comes with a home purchase at $5,050 a year in 2026, and golf is a separate category with its own initiation (The Club at Renaissance, 2026 Membership booklet).
• The course: the Arthur Hills course plays par 72 and is rated 75.6 with a 147 slope for men from the Championship tees, near the top of the USGA scale, with "The 54" par-3 layout woven through it (Florida State Golf Association, club rating record, read October 28, 2026).
• The CDD line: every home pays a Renaissance CDD line on the tax bill: $1,251.10 for maintenance in FY 2027 plus a bond line from $155.67 to $5,537.41 by lot, ending in May 2037; master association and Triana dues are not published (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027).
• Flood: every home and condominium building maps to FEMA Zone X, the community is in Evacuation Zone D, and the pending 2027 map revision leaves its panels unchanged (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; Lee County Evacuation Zones).
• Construction at the edges: the Daniels Parkway diverging diamond at I-75 is under construction through summer 2028, and a 360-unit rezoning is pending beside the golf maintenance tract (FDOT project 446296-2; Lee County case DCI2024-00042).

What Is It Like Living in The Renaissance as a Homebuyer?

Living in The Renaissance means owning inside a gated Arthur Hills golf community of 385 homesites in unincorporated Lee County with a Fort Myers address, paying a CDD line on the tax bill, holding a club membership the club says comes with the purchase, and sitting in FEMA Zone X, 2.7 route miles from I-75 Exit 131.

A buyer here is choosing among six products inside one gate: a Triana coach-home condominium, a Villagio detached villa, a Monteverdi executive home, a Vittoria or Terabella estate home, or a newer Via Lago home on its own plat. Each sits on a different CDD row, competes in a different resale pool and calls for a different set of documents. The questions below come in the order buyers ask them, and the deeper sections further down the page carry the full tables. For the wider city picture around it, start with our Fort Myers guide.

What kind of community is The Renaissance?

The Renaissance is a master-planned golf community: one developer plan, one community development district, one master homeowners association, four Triana condominium associations and one privately owned club over a single gated site. Lee County's subdivision record flags it Gated = Y, a county attribute rather than a field check (Lee County GIS, Subdivisions layer). The guardhouse belongs to the Renaissance Community Association, which provides the gatehouse personnel; the CDD's January 2026 minutes call it the "HOA-owned guardhouse" (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Minutes, January 12, 2026).

Every internal street, Renaissance Way, Terabella Way and Place, Vittoria Way and Court, Villagio Way, Monteverdi Way, Via Lago Way and Triana Terrace, is coded privately maintained on the county road centerline layer (Lee County GIS, Road Centerlines). Zoning is RPD (Residential Planned Development) on the homes, the Triana condominiums and the golf course (Lee County GIS, Zoning layer). Lee County's planning layers place it in Planning Community 11, "Daniels Parkway", with a future land use of Outlying Suburban (Lee County GIS, Lee Plan layers).

Where exactly is it? North of Daniels, west of I-75

The Renaissance lies north of Daniels Parkway and west of I-75, with Palomino Lane along its west side and the Six Mile Cypress preserves and Penzance Boulevard to the north. The CDD describes its own boundary the same way: access off Daniels to the south, I-75 frontage to the east, Palomino Lane to the west, and Penzance Boulevard and the Six Mile Cypress preserves to the north (Renaissance CDD, home page). The South zoning resolution's legal description places the land "west of I-75 and north of Daniels Road" (Lee County Resolution Z-02-008).

That position puts The Renaissance between two very different neighbors. To the east is the interstate, screened by berms and a perimeter wall the CDD maintains. To the north and northwest are preserve land and the Paseo community, which shares the north boundary. To the south, the community's Mall Loop Road connection reaches the commercial frontage on Daniels Parkway.

How do you get in? The Palomino Lane gate and the Mall Loop Road connection

The main gated entrance is on Palomino Lane, where Renaissance Way, a divided private entry road, meets Palomino about 1.1 route miles north of the Daniels Parkway and Palomino Lane signal (Lee County GIS, Road Centerlines). A second private road connects Renaissance Way south to county-maintained Mall Loop Road beside Daniels Parkway. Whether that second connection is staffed, resident-only or exit-only is not on any record we read, and gate hours and the visitor procedure are association rules we could not read either. Ask the association for its access-control rules before you rely on the Mall Loop Road connection for a daily drive.

Inside the gates the two connections change the trip. Vittoria Way, Villagio Way and Via Lago Way are closest to the Palomino Lane entrance, at 0.31 to 0.74 route miles, while Monteverdi Way and Triana Terrace are closest to the Mall Loop Road connection, at about 0.4 (routing-engine estimates).

Is it in the City of Fort Myers?

No. The Renaissance is in unincorporated Lee County with a Fort Myers mailing address in ZIP 33912, outside any city and outside any Census-designated place at every point sampled (Lee County GIS, Taxing Authorities layer; US Census TIGERweb). The City of Fort Myers limit touches the community's edge on the north and northwest, the result of annexations in 1997 and 2002, but the community itself was never annexed (Lee County GIS, Boundaries layers).

At every sampled point the parcels sit in Lee tax district 047, the South Trail Fire District, the Lee County Unincorporated MSTU, Solid Waste Area 3 and the Renaissance CDD, which is non-ad valorem taxing authority 187. County government, not a city, issues the permits and sets the zoning.

How many homes are there?

The county roll dated October 4, 2026 counts 385 homesites: 249 single-family homes, 130 Triana condominium units and 6 vacant homesites, which is 379 built residences (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis). Other counts circulate, and each has a reason. The club and Concert Golf Partners describe 386 homesites (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). The CDD's 2023 assessment methodology counts 386 homes plus two golf "units", which is the 388 on the CDD's home page (Renaissance CDD, 2023 O&M Methodology Report; Renaissance CDD, home page). A 2020 county amendment recites that 388 dwelling units had been permitted to date, a permit count rather than a built count (Lee County ADD2020-00027).

Behind all of them is the zoning cap: the two planned developments together allow at most 500 dwelling units (Lee County Resolution Z-02-008). The six vacant homesites are one on Terabella Way, one on Vittoria Way and four on Monteverdi Way, so new construction here means a custom build on one of those lots, not a builder phase.

What kinds of homes? Six sections in one paragraph

Terabella (Terabella Way and Place) holds 38 homes and one vacant homesite on the largest lots, a median of about 0.53 acre, with heated area to 9,254 square feet; Vittoria (Vittoria Way and Court) holds 49 homes and one vacant homesite on median lots of about 0.36 acre, from 2,907 to 5,800 heated square feet; Monteverdi (Monteverdi Way) holds 48 homes and four vacant homesites on median lots of about 0.30 acre, and 43 of its 52 lots carry the appraiser's golf-course view class; Villagio (Villagio Way) is 59 detached homes on the smallest lots, a median of about 0.21 acre, from 1,913 to 3,138 heated square feet, all built 2003 to 2006; Via Lago (Via Lago Way, on its own Phase 2A plat) is 55 homes built 2006 to 2024, 30 of them on lots in the appraiser's lake class; and Triana I to IV is 130 condominium units in 32 two-story buildings built 2003 to 2007, with floor plans from 1,826 to 2,733 heated square feet. The neighborhoods section has the full inventory table and the county figures for each one.

What role does the club play in daily life?

The Club at Renaissance is the center of the community's map: the 18-hole Arthur Hills course threads between the neighborhoods, and the Mediterranean-style clubhouse at 12801 Renaissance Way holds the dining rooms, the spa and fitness complex, and the pool pavilion beside the tennis and pickleball courts (The Club at Renaissance, 2026 Membership booklet). The club is privately owned and operated by Concert Renaissance, LLC, an affiliate of Concert Golf Partners, since September 22, 2022; it is not owned by the residents, the master association or the CDD (Concert Golf Partners, The Club at Renaissance).

The club's 2026 booklet states that Community (social) membership "is included with a Renaissance Real Estate purchase", with resident social dues of $5,050 a year in 2026, before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax. Golf is a separate category with its own initiation: Full Golf carries a $90,000 one-time, non-refundable initiation and $14,760 in resident dues. Whether the resident social dues are compulsory on every lot by covenant is not on any record we read, because the Declaration's text was not available to us. The club section below carries every category and a year-one cost table.

How do the fee layers fit together?

An owner in The Renaissance pays in several layers. The CDD charge rides on the Lee County property tax bill as one combined line: $1,251.10 for operations and maintenance in fiscal year 2027, up 8.0 percent from $1,158.43, plus a debt-service line set by product, for totals from $1,406.77 to $6,788.51 a year (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027). Ad valorem tax in district 047 is 13.3623 mills, the final 2026 total in the property appraiser's final millage book printed October 9, 2026, against 13.4125 adopted in 2025. Solid waste for a single-family home in Service Area 3 was $366.39 for fiscal 2025-26 (Lee County Solid Waste, adopted rates, read October 2026).

On top of the tax bill sit the master association assessment, which is not published in any document we could reach, the Triana association assessment for a condominium owner, also not published, and the club's resident social dues as the club states them. The estoppel certificate is the document that states each association's figure. The Fee Stack section has the full table, the CDD row for every product and worked carrying costs.

The flood and storm picture in one paragraph

Every home and condominium building in The Renaissance maps to FEMA Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on panels 12071C0445F and 12071C0433G, checked at six interior points and across the community boundary; there is no Letter of Map Revision or Amendment inside the boundary, and FEMA's pending Lee County revision, scheduled for March 2, 2027, leaves both panels and every zone unchanged (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer; FEMA FIRM Panels; FEMA Pending NFHL). The whole community is in Lee County Evacuation Zone D, which the county calls "one of our least vulnerable Evacuation Zones", and the design wind speed is 160 mph inside the Florida Building Code wind-borne debris region (Lee County Evacuation Zone D sheet; Lee County GIS, Design Wind Speed Zones). Zone X is a map designation, not a promise: the hurricane, flood and insurance sections cover surge bands, the Citizens flood rule and the documents to request.

Which school zones serve it?

The School District of Lee County assigns by choice zone, and the whole of The Renaissance falls in one zone at each level for 2026-2027: elementary proximity Zone J, middle Zone EE and high school South sub-zone 1 (School District of Lee County, Student Enrollment Plan 2026-2027; School Proximity Zones 2026-2027 data). South sub-zone 1 lists Cypress Lake High and Fort Myers High, both graded A by FLDOE in 2026, along with Dunbar High and South Fort Myers High, and the district buses S1 students to all four (FLDOE, School Grades 2026, read October 2026). The schools section lists every school in each zone with its grade and programs.

What can you reach by car?

Measured in route miles from the main entrance on Palomino Lane, miles only because traffic decides the minutes (routing-engine estimates, with the Mall Loop Road connection in brackets): I-75 Exit 131 2.7 (1.6), Gulf Coast Medical Center 4.5, Gulf Coast Town Center 6.6 (5.4), the Southwest Florida International Airport terminal 6.7 (5.6), Florida Gulf Coast University 8.6 (7.5), Miromar Outlets 9.8 (8.7), Estero at US 41 and Corkscrew 12.4, downtown Fort Myers 12.7, Coconut Point 13.7, Fort Myers Beach at Times Square 14.7, the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza 16.0, Cape Coral City Hall 16.4, Bonita Springs at I-75 Exit 116 17.7 and Naples Fifth Avenue South 33.8. The drive-distance section has the full table and method.

What is nearby on foot or a short drive?

The Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, 1.8 route miles from the main entrance, has a 1.2-mile elevated, fully accessible boardwalk with five observation decks and an Interpretive Center, and parking is $1 an hour, up to $5 a day (Lee County Parks, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, read October 2026). Errands cluster along Daniels Parkway: Publix on Fiddlesticks Boulevard is 1.3 route miles away and Whole Foods Market on Daniels 3.5. Spring training is close too: JetBlue Park is 4.0 route miles away and Hammond Stadium 4.3, and Bell Tower is 5.2 (routing-engine estimates). Inside the gates the streets are private, and the club's courts, pool and dining sit at the clubhouse on Renaissance Way.

Is The Renaissance age-restricted?

The Renaissance is not designated age-restricted on any record we read: no 55+ designation appears in the zoning resolutions, the master association's articles or the CDD record (Lee County Resolution Z-02-008; Sunbiz, Renaissance Community Association Amended and Restated Articles, read October 2026). The Declaration's use article was not available to us, so confirm in the governing documents. The club's golf categories are banded by age (Executive Golf at 44 and under, Full Golf at 45 to 75, Heritage Golf at 76 and over), and those bands are pricing rules of a private club, not a rule about who may own a home.

What do we walk a Renaissance buyer through first?

When we list or buy here we pull the CDD schedule row for the lot, the master and Triana estoppels, the club's current membership terms and the FEMA panel before we price. In practice that is four documents, in this order:

• The CDD schedule row. The district assigns every home to a product row (Triana coach home, Villagio villa, Monteverdi, Vittoria, Via Lago, Terabella, and the double-lot and prepaid variants), and the row sets the debt line on the tax bill through May 2037. A prepaid bond line is a different, lower row, so we confirm which one the lot carries (Renaissance CDD, Assessments).
• The estoppels. One from the Renaissance Community Association, and a second from the Triana condominium association on a Triana purchase, because neither association publishes its assessment.
• The club's current terms. The 2026 booklet is the club's own document; we read the current one at contract, because initiation, dues and category caps are the club's to set.
• The FEMA panel and the floor. We confirm the zone at the address on the NFHL and ask for any elevation certificate, since a lender or insurer prices from it and the county holds none for this community on its public layer.

What Does The Renaissance Market Look Like Right Now?

The Renaissance market in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 was 21 recorded sales at a $910,000 median, from $430,000 to $2,330,000: 13 single-family homes at a $1,420,000 median and 8 Triana condominiums, with Triana's 24-month median at $506,000 and no builder-direct sale (an estimate).

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

Source for every figure in this section: Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis. "12 months" means sales recorded September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026. Builder-direct counts are an estimate: the first recorded sale of a new home. Price per square foot is per square foot of county heated area, the roll's measure, and is never set against an MLS living-area figure. Where a section or street recorded one or two sales, we list the prices and print no median.

The county record, 12 months

The 12-month window is the first with ten or more sales, so it leads; the longer windows show the trend. Across all recorded history, from March 28, 2003 to September 25, 2026, the county holds 716 qualified residential sales in The Renaissance.

The 21 sales in the 12 months carried $22,916,890 in recorded dollar volume. The median sits close to $900,000 in every window, but that steadiness is a product of the mix, not of flat prices, and the side-by-side table below shows why.

Single-family homes and Triana condominiums, side by side

Triana recorded 8 sales in the 12 months, under ten, at a $486,000 median; we lead with the 24-month figure because it rests on ten sales. Over longer windows the single-family median holds near $1.5 million: 21 sales at $1,475,000 over 24 months, 28 at $1,485,000 over 36 months and 65 at $1,504,990 over 60 months.

Price bands

The bands split largely by product. The lowest band is all Triana. The two middle bands mix Triana's larger floor plans with Villagio homes, and the million-dollar band is mostly the estate sections and Via Lago.

Section by section

Each section uses the first window in which it reaches ten sales, so the windows differ on purpose. Via Lago, the newest section, records few sales because few owners have sold; its 60-month median of $1,810,000 is the highest section median in the community.

Street by street, single-family

The thin rows are listed, never averaged. One sale on Terabella Way at $2,330,000 was the highest recorded sale in the community in the 12 months; one sale on Via Lago Way at $1,590,000 was a 2020 home.

Every Triana sale in 24 months

The March 24, 2026 sale at $910,000 is one unit, a Triana III floor plan of 2,732 heated square feet built in 2005, coded qualified by the appraiser. The same floor plan sold at $635,000 in May 2026 and $480,000 in July 2026, so that one sale sits well above other 2026 Triana sales and is not the price of a Triana unit. The 24-month median of $506,000 is the figure to price from.

The long arc, 2019 to 2026

Two things stand out. Sales volume in this period peaked in 2021 at 60 recorded sales and fell to 10 in 2025, with 17 recorded in 2026 through September 25. And the single-family median more than doubled from 2019 to its 2023 peak before easing, while Triana rose from $295,000 in 2019 to $662,000 in 2023 and recorded $480,000 in 2026 to date.

The top of the market: estate blocks and the $4,200,000 Terabella sale

The highest recorded single-family sale in the 24 months to September 25, 2026 was $4,200,000, in October 2024 on Terabella Way, for a 2017 home of 4,691 heated square feet. It is the high end of the estate blocks, the 135 homes of Terabella, Vittoria and Monteverdi, which recorded 12 sales over 24 months at a $1,502,445 median and $475.97 per heated square foot.

The estate-block median crossed $2 million in 2024 on six sales, the year of the $4,200,000 sale, then returned to the $1.5 million range on five sales in each of 2025 and 2026. With counts this small, one large home moves the median, so read the 24-month figure first.

Price per square foot, and why the mix matters

Across all 21 sales in the 12 months, the median is $330.74 per square foot of county heated area. Single-family homes ran $383.73 over the same 12 months. By section the spread is wide: Via Lago $503.31 over 60 months, the estate blocks $475.97 over 24 months, Villagio $346.15 over 60 months and Triana $252.46 over 24 months. A single community figure blends all of them, so it describes none.

The same mix explains the two medians that look like price drops. The all-residential median of $910,000 sits far below the single-family median of $1,420,000 because 8 of the 21 sales were Triana condominiums: that is mix, not a price drop. And the 2026 single-family calendar median of $1,240,000 is lower than 2023's $1,720,000 because 4 of the 10 single-family sales recorded in 2026 were Villagio Way homes, the smallest product. Read the section medians, not the blend.

Builder-direct: none since 2021

In every window the tool measured from 2021 forward, the builder-direct count in The Renaissance is zero (an estimate), and all 21 sales in the 12 months were resales. The last builder-direct first sales were in Via Lago, six in 2018, one in 2019 and one in 2020, plus one estate-block home in 2021, before the 60-month window opens in September 2021 (all estimates). A buyer today is buying from an owner, and the only new construction left is a custom home on one of the six vacant homesites.

Days on market and sale-to-list

In the Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix export of October 29, 2026), The Renaissance recorded 21 closed sales in the 12 months to October 29, 2026. The median days on market was 149 (19 of the 21 records carry the field), and the median sale closed at 93.42 percent of its final list price; together the 21 sales came to $23,894,890, or 93.24 percent of their combined list prices. The 14 single-family sales took a median 203.5 days (12 with the field) at 93.73 percent of list. Triana recorded 7 MLS closings, fewer than 10, so we print no Triana-only median. These MLS figures run on their own window, so they sit beside the county record above and are never subtracted from it.

How many homes are for sale right now?

On October 29, 2026 the Southwest Florida MLS showed 13 active listings in The Renaissance, 11 single-family homes and 2 Triana condominiums, plus 2 pending Triana sales. The 13 ask a median $2,349,900, from $745,000 to $4,299,000, well above the closed median because most of them are single-family homes. At the MLS pace of 21 closings in 12 months, 1.75 a month, 13 actives are about 7.4 months of supply, and the 11 single-family listings about 9.4 months against their 14 closings (our arithmetic). With 21 recorded sales in 12 months across 385 homesites, turnover is low, and a single new listing in a thin section such as Via Lago or Terabella can be the only comparable on the market.

What a seller should read into these numbers

A seller in The Renaissance competes inside a section, not inside the community median. A Triana unit is priced against ten Triana sales over 24 months at $506,000, not against the one $910,000 sale. A Villagio home is priced against five Villagio Way sales in 12 months at $935,000 and 18 over 60 months at $917,500. An estate-block home is priced against 12 sales over 24 months at $1,502,445, and a Via Lago home against 11 sales over 60 months at $1,810,000. The CDD row on the lot also moves value at the margin, because a buyer compares the carrying cost, and a lot with its bond line prepaid carries a lower one.

How Did The Renaissance Come to Be?

The Renaissance began as 33 pieces of pasture, wetland and ranchette land assembled near Daniels Parkway and I-75, gained its community development district in August 2001 and its two zonings in 2001 and 2002, opened its Arthur Hills course in 2003 and its clubhouse in 2004, and passed its club to a Concert Golf Partners affiliate in 2022.

The history matters to a buyer for three reasons. The district was created before the first home, which is why every lot carries a CDD row and a bond line through 2037. The community was zoned as two planned developments, which is why its 500-unit cap is stated for the two together. And the club was built by the developer and later sold to an outside owner, which is why the club, the master association and the CDD are three separate parties with their own documents.

Pasture, melaleuca and 33 pieces of land

The land was assembled from improved pasture, melaleuca-invaded wetland, rural ranchette tracts and part of the Danport Center commercial plat (Lee County Resolution Z-02-008, with exhibits; Lee County Resolution Z-00-009, Daniels Interchange MPD). The 2001 preserve plan filed with the South zoning described a site where the colonization of the forested areas by melaleuca and earlier clearing for pasture limited what could be preserved, and it set out a restoration program for an indigenous preserve. A Worthington partner told The News-Press in 2017: "Soon we had 33 pieces put together, and next thing we knew we had 500 acres" (The News-Press, January 9, 2017, lede read October 2026). Part of the South land had been zoned in April 2000 as the Daniels Interchange MPD before it became Renaissance South.

The Worthington group and its development company

The developer was Worthington of Renaissance, LLC, a Florida limited liability company filed July 24, 2000, the single-purpose company of the Worthington Communities group (Sunbiz, Worthington of Renaissance, LLC, read October 2026). It filed the South rezoning, the CDD petition, the plats and the later amendments; the North rezoning was filed in the name of "Worthington Holdings" (Lee County, Renaissance North RPD document set). Worthington Communities was the operating brand on the master plan and the 2004 sales materials. The development company was administratively dissolved on September 22, 2023, a year after it sold the club.

The CDD comes first, August 2001

Lee County Ordinance 01-10 created the Renaissance Community Development District on the developer's petition, adopted August 14, 2001, over a boundary of 507.023 acres; the CDD itself gives August 20, 2001 as its establishment date (Lee County Ordinance 01-10; Renaissance CDD, About). A community development district is a Chapter 190 special district that can borrow to build infrastructure and repay the bonds through assessments on the tax bill. Here it maintains the stormwater lakes, the preserves, the berms and the I-75 perimeter wall, while the club owns the golf land and the master association owns the guardhouse. The South Florida Water Management District's master surface water permit for "Renaissance" took final action on October 11, 2001 (SFWMD Environmental Resource Applications).

Two rezonings: North in 2001, South in 2002

The Renaissance was zoned as two residential planned developments. Renaissance North RPD, Resolution Z-01-041, was adopted December 17, 2001 over 344.723 acres for 300 dwelling units; Renaissance South RPD, Resolution Z-02-008, was adopted April 1, 2002 over 162.22 acres for 260 dwelling units (Lee County, Renaissance North RPD document set; Lee County Resolution Z-02-008). Both resolutions cap the two developments combined at 500 dwelling units, which is why the per-RPD figures add to more than the cap. The golf course, clubhouse and maintenance facility sit inside the same zoning, and the 2001 preserve plan targeted 93.63 acres of indigenous preserve as the original plan; the CDD today describes about 160 acres of protected preserves under its care (Renaissance CDD, Letter to Residents, April 2025).

Homesites, the course and the clubhouse, 2002 to 2004

Homesites were selling by 2002: the first homesite deeds on the original plat appear in late April and May 2002 in the county sale file (inferred from the sale file; no plat recording date was read). The golf course opened in 2003 and the Mediterranean-style clubhouse was completed in 2004 (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). The first single-family homes on the roll date from 2003, and 34 single-family homes were built in 2003 and 2004, with 133 more from 2005 to 2009, the community's busiest building years (county roll). The developer filed its six neighborhood names, TERABELLA, VILLAGIO, TRIANA, VITTORIA, MONTEVERDI and VIA LAGO, as Florida service marks on August 12, 2004 (Sunbiz, VITTORIA service mark filing with the 2004 brochure, read October 2026).

Parcel D becomes Via Lago

The original plat left a parcel, Parcel D, for later. Phase 2A, the plat that created Via Lago Way, is a replat of that original Parcel D, recorded at Plat Book 81 Pages 85 to 87 and dedicated in 2005 by the developer and the CDD, with lots from 13,486 to 29,207 square feet (Lee County, Renaissance North RPD document set with the Phase 2A plat). That is why there is no Block D of homes on the first plat and why Via Lago carries its own legal description on the roll. The 2004 brochure had called Via Lago a "Future Neighborhood"; its homes were built from 2006 to 2024, most of them later than the rest of the community.

Colonial, Meritage and the Triana condominiums

Triana's original developer was Colonial Homes. After Meritage Homes agreed in February 2005 to buy Colonial's homebuilding assets, Meritage Homes of Florida became the subsequent developer of Triana I to IV from June 21, 2005, on the state's condominium records (Florida DBPR, Meritage Homes of Florida license relationships; Meritage Homes, Form 8-K Exhibit 99.1, read October 2026). The four condominiums are separate filings with the state, Triana I of 32 units, Triana II of 32, Triana III of 32 and Triana IV of 34, each with its own association (Florida DBPR, Triana project records). The last Triana building was completed in 2007 (county roll).

The preferred builders and the last new homes

The developer's 2004 brochure, filed with the state as a service-mark specimen, named a preferred builder program: Arthur Rutenberg Homes franchisees (A.R.B.C. and Lyons Housing Corp.), Aubuchon Homes, Colonial Homes, Florida Lifestyle Homes of Fort Myers, Kingon Homes, Royal Corinthian Homes, Welch Custom Homes and Wyman Stokes Builder, with Villagio by Arthur Rutenberg Homes and Lyons Housing Corp. and Triana by Colonial Homes (developer marketing, 2004). That list is the developer's marketing, not a record of who built any one home. Later, Stock Signature Homes was a preferred builder from 2015 to 2019 in Via Lago, Vittoria and Monteverdi, and in January 2019 it offered its "final two new homes in the community" (Stock Development news, January 31, 2019, builder marketing). The builders section covers each builder in turn.

Renaissance 2.0 and the 2022 club sale

In 2020 the club completed "Renaissance 2.0": a redesigned course, an indoor practice facility, an all-grass driving range, a pool bar, an outdoor dining patio, a golf performance academy, a fire pit, bocce and pickleball (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). Two years later the developer left the club business. The sale to a Concert Golf Partners affiliate closed on September 22, 2022 and was announced on September 27, 2022 as Concert's 27th club (Concert Golf Partners, "A Haven in the Storm", March 27, 2023; Concert Golf Partners press release, September 27, 2022). The same year the CDD issued its Series 2022 refunding bonds, on July 15, 2022, which set the debt lines on today's tax bills (Renaissance CDD, Audit FY 2022).

Since 2022: the CDD settlement, the code cases and the open contract suit

Three dated matters followed the club sale, and we state them without characterising any party. Concert Renaissance LLC v. Renaissance CDD, Lee Circuit case 23-CA-011452, filed in October 2023, was settled and dismissed in June 2025; the settlement refunded the club's 2023-24 and 2024-25 operations and maintenance assessments with interest, $270,358.78, plus $100,000 of fees, and included a $105,000 CDD loan (Settlement and Partial Release Agreement; Renaissance CDD, Audit Report FY 2025). On June 23, 2025, Lee County's hearing examiner found no zoning violation in four code cases (Lee County Hearing Examiner, signed orders). The same day, Concert Renaissance LLC v. Renaissance Community Association, Inc., a breach of contract case, was e-filed; it was described in February 2026 as moving toward settlement, and its outcome is not on any record we found (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Minutes, February 9, 2026).

Two CDD matters are live in 2026. A new operations and maintenance methodology is under study on the October 12, 2026 agenda, and whether the golf parcels will pay O&M again from fiscal 2028 is open (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Agenda, October 12, 2026). And seats 1 to 3 on the five-seat CDD board expire in November 2026 and drew no qualified candidates, so the district is seeking letters of interest for appointment; regular meetings are monthly at 9:00 a.m., the next on November 9, 2026 (Renaissance CDD, November 9, 2026 meeting and vacancies). A buyer reads both as cost questions: the methodology decides how the O&M line is shared from fiscal 2028.

What Is The Renaissance Master Plan, and How Much Is Built?

The Renaissance master plan is two Lee County residential planned developments, North (2001) and South (2002), capped together at 500 dwelling units over about 507 acres. The 2026 county roll shows 385 homesites, 379 of them built, around an 18-hole golf course, CDD lakes and, by the CDD's count, about 160 acres of preserve.

A master plan is the part of a community a buyer rarely reads and always lives with. In The Renaissance it decides why every lot carries a CDD row on the tax bill, why the golf course and clubhouse sit on land the club owns outright, why a section can have a few more or a few fewer homesites than the developer advertised, and why there is so little room left to build. The figures in this section come from the zoning resolutions, the district's establishing ordinance, the recorded plats as the county reads them, and the Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis.

Two planned developments and a 500-home cap

The Renaissance was zoned as two residential planned developments, North in December 2001 and South in April 2002, with a combined cap of 500 dwelling units. Renaissance North RPD was approved for "300 dwelling units, a golf course, and amenities including a private clubhouse"; Renaissance South RPD for "260 dwelling units, a golf course, and amenities including a private clubhouse", with a schedule of uses that adds the private club, limited food and beverage service and the golf maintenance facility (Lee County, Renaissance North RPD document set with Resolution Z-01-041; Lee County Resolution Z-02-008, Renaissance South RPD).

The two per-development figures add to more than the cap on purpose: the county let the developer place homes on either side of the internal line, but never more than 500 across both. Two conditions shaped the community a buyer sees today. The North resolution kept the clubhouse and the maintenance yard out of the North land, which is why both sit in the South near Palomino Lane. The South resolution required a replat so that no discrete, legally identifiable parcel would lie partly outside the Renaissance Community Development District, which is why the district's boundary and the community's boundary match lot for lot. Both resolutions also sit on a list of later administrative amendments, covered under the zoning heading below.

What 507 acres holds: homes, golf, lakes and preserve

Lee County Ordinance 01-10 drew the Renaissance CDD around 507.023 acres, and the CDD's own pages say "+/- 507 acres", so the community's size on this page is about 507 acres (Lee County Ordinance 01-10; Renaissance CDD, home page). The South Florida Water Management District's master surface water permit 36-04076-P, "Renaissance", covers 506.9 acres with the land use "Recreational Including Golf, Residential" (SFWMD Environmental Resource Applications). The club and Concert Golf Partners describe "over 500 acres", the same land in round numbers.

Inside that boundary the land divides by owner. The club owns about 156 acres: golf course tracts GC-1 to GC-6 of 144.255 acres, clubhouse Tract H of 9.626 acres and maintenance Tract I of 2.469 acres (Lee County Property Appraiser, parcel service). The CDD maintains "approximately 160 acres of protected preserves" and the stormwater lakes, fountains, aerators and drainage structures, and it reminds owners that a lake maintenance easement of about 20 feet runs around each lake, where fences, patios and vegetation changes are not allowed (Renaissance CDD, Letter to Renaissance Residents, April 2025; Renaissance CDD, Services). The 2001 county preserve plan targeted 93.63 acres of indigenous preserve; the CDD's present figure includes wetland and buffer tracts under its care (Lee County Resolution Z-02-008, with the preserve plan).

We print no total lake acreage. The mapped water in the county and federal layers gives answers that disagree by too much to publish, so the page describes the lakes as what they are on the record: freshwater CDD stormwater lakes, not navigable water. The homes, Triana buildings, streets and common tracts fill the rest of the 507 acres, and one common parcel carries commercial planned development (CPD) zoning rather than RPD (Lee County GIS, Zoning layer).

The 2004 plan against the 2026 record

The developer's 2004 sales brochure, filed with the State of Florida as the specimen for its VITTORIA service mark, said "approximately 380 residences will be built over 501 acres" and named six neighborhoods (Sunbiz, VITTORIA service mark filing with the 2004 brochure, developer marketing, read October 2026). Set beside the 2026 roll and the CDD's assessment classes, the plan held up closely:

Villagio and Triana were built exactly as advertised, which fits their single-builder programs. The three estate sections finished with a few fewer homesites than the brochure counted, the pattern of lots combined or reconfigured during the custom-build years (inferred; the plat images were not available to us). Via Lago, a blank in 2004, became the 55-home Phase 2A plat. The CDD class names in the last column are the district's own labels for its assessment rows, and the Fee Stack section below shows what each one pays (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027).

The 385, 386, 387 and 388 counts reconciled

Several home counts circulate for The Renaissance, and each is right about the thing it counts. The page leads with the county roll.

The differences are bookkeeping, not missing homes. The roll shows 55 Phase 2A parcels where the plat created 57 lots, which reads as two lots combined into larger homesites (inferred). The roll's 385 and the CDD's 386 differ by one homesite in Terabella, again the signature of a combined lot (inferred). The CDD's 388 adds the clubhouse parcel and the golf playing area, which the district assesses as two "units" for debt service. And the county's 2020 figure is a count of units permitted, which runs ahead of homes finished.

How much is built today: 379 homes and 6 homesites

On the roll dated October 4, 2026, The Renaissance holds 379 built residences, 249 single-family homes and 130 Triana condominium units, plus 6 vacant residential homesites: one on Terabella Way, one on Vittoria Way and four on Monteverdi Way (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis). Single-family homes date from 2003 to 2024 and the Triana condominiums from 2003 to 2007.

The single-family heated area on the roll runs from 1,913 to 9,254 square feet and the Triana floor plans from 1,826 to 2,733. The table shows a community that is essentially built out: most homes went up in the first decade, a second wave of custom building in Via Lago and the estate sections ran through the late 2010s, and only six homes are newer than 2019. For a buyer that means two things. Almost every purchase is a resale, and a new home here means a custom build on one of the six vacant lots or the rebuild of an existing house.

What the zoning allows on a lot

Homes, the Triana condominiums and the golf course all carry RPD (Residential Planned Development) zoning, with one common parcel in CPD (Lee County GIS, Zoning layer). The North resolution allows conventional single-family, duplex, zero lot line, townhouse and multiple-family housing types, and it approved a deviation for decorative pavers on the local streets (Lee County, Renaissance North RPD document set). What was actually built is narrower than the zoning allows: detached single-family homes in five sections and two-story coach-home buildings in Triana.

The rules on a lot have moved since 2001 through administrative amendments, and three of them matter to a buyer looking at a Villagio or Via Lago house. In January 2005, Administrative Amendment ADD2004-00234 raised the maximum lot coverage on a list of Villagio lots in Block C (Lee County ADD2004-00234); ADD2005-00173 later swapped one Block C lot into that list (Lee County ADD2005-00173); and ADD2013-00043 raised the lot coverage on a group of Phase 2A lots on Via Lago Way (Lee County ADD2013-00043). Individual owners have since sought lot coverage or setback relief for single homes through their own cases on the county's zoning case layer (Lee County GIS, Zoning Cases layer).

The practical rule: before you plan a pool cage, an addition or a larger lanai, read three things together, the RPD resolution, any amendment that names your lot, and the architectural provisions of the master association's Declaration. The county decides what the zoning permits; the association decides what the community approves.

The commercial edge on Daniels that shares the old entitlement

The Renaissance was assembled partly from commercial land, and its south edge still meets that land. The parcels included part of the Danport Center commercial plat, and part of the 2000 Daniels Interchange MPD became Renaissance South while the rest became the Galleria West and Galleria East commercial planned developments on Daniels Parkway (Lee County Resolution Z-00-009, Daniels Interchange MPD; Lee County DCD, Planned Developments layer). The CDD's legal boundary runs along the north lines of the Danport Center plats (Lee County Ordinance 01-10).

That shared origin shows up in two places a resident notices. The private Mall Loop Road connection reaches the commercial frontage beside Daniels Parkway. And the 2002 Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs brings the Danport and Daniels Galleria commercial associations into part of the entrance cost share alongside the club and the master association (Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs, April 29, 2002, recorded copy). The pending applications on the land around the community are covered in the civic pipeline section.

Is there room for more homes?

Not much, on the record we read. The cap is 500 dwelling units, the roll holds 385 homesites and the county counted 388 units permitted by 2020, so the zoning number sits well above what exists (Lee County ADD2020-00027). But the land that is left is golf course and clubhouse tracts owned by the club, preserve and lake tracts under the CDD, and common tracts of the plats. The six vacant homesites are the platted capacity that remains. Adding homes beyond them would take a replat and a zoning amendment over land that is now golf, preserve or water (inferred; no such application appears on the county's case layer for the Renaissance RPDs).

The one recent request to add rooms inside the gates was not for homes. The 2020 amendment ADD2020-00027 allowed a clubhouse "rooming house" of at most eight double-occupancy suites, limited to "members and guests of the Renaissance Golf Club" with public occupancy prohibited; the development order for that project, Jack's Place, was later withdrawn (Lee County ADD2020-00027; Lee County DCD, Development Orders layer).

Who Built the Homes in The Renaissance?

The Renaissance was built mostly by custom and semi-custom builders on homesites the developer sold one at a time, under a preferred builder program its 2004 brochure lists, with single-builder programs for Villagio and Triana. No home has recorded a builder-direct first sale since 2021 on the county record (an estimate).

The origins section above traces the builders in time order. This section reads them the way a buyer needs them: by section, by how the homes were sold, and by what the public record can and cannot confirm about the house you are looking at. Builder names come from the developer's own 2004 brochure, state condominium records and builder announcements, each labelled; none of them is a record of who built any one home.

Custom building on individually sold homesites

The developer registered its six neighborhood names as Florida service marks on August 12, 2004, for "land development services, namely, planning and laying out of residential communities and coordinating custom home construction and lot sales" (Sunbiz, VITTORIA service mark filing, read October 2026). That phrase describes how most of The Renaissance was built. The developer sold homesites, the buyer chose a builder from the developer's list, and the home was designed for the lot. The 2004 brochure put it plainly: "Most homes will be custom-designed and built to accommodate each homeowner's individual specifications" (developer marketing, 2004).

The model explains the spread on the roll. Estate and Via Lago homes were built from 2003 into the 2020s, one lot at a time, while Villagio and Triana, sold as finished homes by one builder each, were complete within a few years. It also explains why two homes on the same street can differ in floor plan, finish level and age: they were never a builder phase.

The 2004 preferred builder program

The brochure's FAQ asked "May I use a builder that is not part of the preferred builder program?" and answered "No." The program assigned builders by section (developer marketing, 2004):

The program also set a start-and-finish deadline for building on a Terabella, Vittoria or Monteverdi homesite. Builders kept working in the community after 2004. Florida Weekly reported in its December 23, 2010 issue that Florida Lifestyle Homes had a model under construction "at Renaissance, a golfing community off Daniels Parkway" and that its Sarzana model "is in the Renaissance community in Fort Myers" (Florida Weekly, December 23, 2010). A design firm's portfolio shows a Riverview Homes model, "The Coastal Breeze", at The Renaissance with interiors by Robb and Stucky (Robb and Stucky design portfolio, designer marketing, undated).

Villagio's single builder program

Villagio was the one single-family section sold as a builder program rather than as custom homesites. The 2004 brochure lists Arthur Rutenberg Homes through its franchisee Lyons Housing Corp. as the Villagio builder (developer marketing, 2004). The roll bears it out: all 59 Villagio homes were built from 2003 to 2006, on the smallest lots in the community, a median of about 0.21 acre, with 1,913 to 3,138 heated square feet, and 57 of the 59 have two or three bedrooms (county roll). Villagio's lot-coverage amendment of 2005, described in the master plan section, belongs to the same program: it adjusted a set of Block C lots so the planned villa footprints fit.

For a buyer, a single program means comparable homes. Villagio sales compare to each other more cleanly than sales anywhere else in The Renaissance, which is why its five sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 and its 60-month record give a usable read on value.

Colonial Homes and Meritage at Triana

Triana's original developer was Colonial Homes, which filed the Tract G zoning amendments for the coach-home tract and is named as the Triana builder in the 2004 brochure (Lee County GIS, Zoning Cases layer; developer marketing, 2004). Meritage Homes agreed in February 2005 to buy Colonial's homebuilding assets, and Meritage Homes of Florida became the subsequent developer of Triana I to IV from June 21, 2005 on the state's condominium records (Florida DBPR, Meritage Homes of Florida license relationships; Meritage Homes, Form 8-K Exhibit 99.1, read October 2026).

The handover is why the Triana buildings are uniform in type, 32 two-story buildings, 31 of four units and one of six, built from 2003 to 2007 (county roll). The six-unit building is in Triana IV, whose state filings include a 2006 amendment for the floor plans of "the 6-plex that is being added" to the declaration (Florida DBPR, Triana IV project filings).

Stock Signature Homes and the Via Lago years

Via Lago and the last estate homesites belong to a later building era. Stock Signature Homes was a preferred builder from 2015 to 2019 in Via Lago, Vittoria and Monteverdi, building inventory homes as well as homes for buyers, and in January 2019 it offered its "final two new homes in the community" (Stock Development news, January 31, 2019, builder marketing; The News-Press, June 3, 2015, sponsor content; Naples Daily News, September 3, 2016, submitted release). On the roll, 23 Via Lago homes date from 2015 to 2019 and 4 from 2020 onward.

That era is visible in the county sales record. The tool's estimate of builder-direct first sales in Via Lago is 6 in 2018, 1 in 2019 and 1 in 2020, and none since (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis). Homes built in Via Lago after 2020 were custom builds on lots their owners already held, so no first sale from a builder was recorded.

What the record cannot tell you: builder of record per home

No public record we read names the builder of a specific Renaissance home. The brochure lists, announcements and model features above say who built in the community, not who built a given house. The document that answers the question is the building permit: Lee County's Department of Community Development holds permits with the contractor of record in its Accela citizen portal, while the county's public building-permit map layer carries case numbers and dates but no contractor field.

When we represent a buyer here, the permit history is one of the first pulls for a single-family home: the original permit names the builder, and later permits show the roof, windows, pool and any additions. A seller's own closing file from the original purchase often holds the builder's warranty and plans, worth gathering before you list.

Builder-direct closings versus resales

Every one of the 21 sales recorded in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 was a resale; the tool's estimate of builder-direct sales is 0, and the same is true of the 13 single-family sales (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis). The last builder-direct first sales the tool finds are the Via Lago homes of 2018 to 2020 and one estate-block home in 2021 (estimates).

The Renaissance is a resale market. Pricing rests on comparable resales inside the same section, the CDD row decides part of the carrying cost, and the condition, age and permit history of each house matter more than any builder's current price list. The market section above carries the sale-by-sale record.

How Is The Renaissance Governed?

The Renaissance is governed in three layers: the Renaissance Community Development District, a Chapter 190 special district with five elected supervisors that runs the lakes and preserves; the Renaissance Community Association, the master homeowners association that owns the guardhouse; and four Triana condominium associations. The club is a separate, privately owned business.

Each layer has its own documents, its own charges and its own meeting calendar, and a buyer deals with all of them at a closing. The CDD publishes its budgets, minutes and assessment schedule on a public website. The master association and the Triana associations publish nothing we could reach, so their figures come only from an estoppel certificate and the governing documents at contract. The club states its own terms in its own booklet.

Three layers: the CDD, the master association and the Triana associations

Sources: Renaissance CDD, About; Sunbiz, Renaissance Community Association, Inc. and the four Triana detail pages (Triana I, Triana II, Triana III, Triana IV), read October 2026.

A single-family owner belongs to the CDD's tax roll and the master association. A Triana owner belongs to both of those and to one condominium association. Nobody joins the CDD as a member: it is a unit of local government whose charges ride on the tax bill. The Club at Renaissance is outside all three layers; it is owned by Concert Renaissance, LLC, an affiliate of Concert Golf Partners, and its terms are covered in the club section.

The Renaissance Community Development District

Lee County created the Renaissance Community Development District with Ordinance 01-10, adopted August 14, 2001, on the developer's petition; the CDD gives August 20, 2001 as its establishment date (Lee County Ordinance 01-10; Renaissance CDD, About). It is a special district under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, and at every point we sampled it is Lee County non-ad valorem taxing authority 187 (Lee County GIS, Taxing Authorities layer).

What the CDD maintains: the stormwater lakes, fountains, aerators and drainage structures, about 160 acres of preserves, the berms, part of the irrigation distribution system and the I-75 perimeter wall (Renaissance CDD, Services; Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027). What it does not do: the CDD does not run the gate and owns no recreational amenity in its budget; the guardhouse belongs to the master association. Its home page carries the federal tax-exempt bond condition that "all District owned improvements, infrastructure and facilities are and shall remain open and accessible to the general public" (Renaissance CDD, home page). The district manager is Premier District Management, which is also the custodian of the district's public records.

The CDD's charge is one combined line on the Lee County tax bill, collected by the Tax Collector from November 1 (Renaissance CDD, Assessments). Florida law requires the contract for the initial sale of a parcel in a CDD to carry a disclosure that the district may impose taxes or assessments in addition to county and other local taxes (Florida Statutes s. 190.048). On a resale the buyer learns the figure from the tax bill and the CDD's schedule, which is why the Fee Stack section below prints every row.

Who sits on the CDD board, and the November 2026 seats

The CDD has five board seats, filled by elected supervisors who must be qualified electors living in the district. Seats 1 to 3 expire in November 2026 and drew no qualified candidates for the election, so the CDD is seeking letters of interest from residents for appointment to the board (Renaissance CDD, November 9, 2026 meeting and upcoming vacancies; Renaissance CDD, Contact).

Regular meetings are monthly at 9:00 a.m., with the next on November 9, 2026, and agendas and minutes are posted on the district's site. For a buyer or owner the meetings are where the cost questions are decided: the board adopts the budget and the assessment rates each August, and the October 12, 2026 agenda carried the study of a new operations and maintenance methodology (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Agenda, October 12, 2026). Three of five seats changing at once is worth noting before a purchase, because the incoming board inherits that methodology decision.

The Renaissance Community Association

The master association is Renaissance Community Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation filed December 8, 2000 and Active, registered with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation as a homeowner association (Sunbiz, Renaissance Community Association, Inc.; Florida DBPR, Renaissance Community Association, read October 2026). Its Amended and Restated Articles, filed January 24, 2022, were approved by the members on March 9, 2021, and give one vote per parcel (Sunbiz, Amended and Restated Articles, read October 2026).

The articles give the association the powers a buyer should expect: to make and collect assessments, to maintain and operate the common area, to make and enforce rules, and to "approve or disapprove the transfer, leasing and occupancy of Parcels, but only to the extent provided in the Governing Documents". The association owns the guardhouse and provides the gatehouse personnel, and under the 2002 covenant it pays a share of the spine road and entrance budgets. Florida law requires a disclosure summary for every parcel whose owner must belong to a homeowners association, telling the buyer that recorded covenants govern use and occupancy and that assessments are a lien obligation (Florida Statutes s. 720.401). No public association website was found.

The 2021 Amended and Restated Declaration, and what we could not read

The covenants that bind every Renaissance lot are in the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Renaissance, Lee County Instrument 2021000076510, which we found cited in a 2024 draft cost-sharing agreement but could not read in full (Concert's proposed Cost Sharing Agreement, July 2, 2024, citing the instrument). The Lee Clerk's official records system refused our connections, and the association's member portal is closed to the public.

That gap leaves five questions open on this page, and each has a document that answers it: whether the club's resident social dues are compulsory on every lot by covenant; whether a capital contribution or transfer fee applies on resale; the minimum lease term and any short-term rental limits; pet, vehicle and architectural rules; and the amount of the master assessment itself. A buyer should receive the Declaration and its amendments, the rules and the estoppel certificate before the inspection period ends, and read them in that order.

The four Triana condominium associations

Triana is four condominiums, each with its own association: Triana I (DBPR project PR1P026352, 32 units), Triana II (PR70646, 32 units), Triana III (PR70675, 32 units) and Triana IV (PR70951, 34 units), all Active on Sunbiz and sharing one management address (Florida DBPR, Triana project records; Florida DBPR, Triana III, read October 2026). A Triana owner pays that association's assessment in addition to the master association's.

One detail differs between them on the record. Triana IV's state filings include a December 18, 2006 amendment stating that water and sewer are individually metered and not a common expense (Florida DBPR, Triana IV project filings); for Triana I to III we found no equivalent statement. Triana assessments, reserves, special assessments and leasing rules are not published, so a Triana buyer asks for that association's budget, reserve schedule, declaration, rules and resale disclosure documents, and the condominium estoppel, in addition to the master documents. The CDD's minutes mention a Triana painting project planned for 2027; who pays for it is a question for the association's budget.

Who owns what

The table is the reason a Renaissance question often has two answers. A cracked lake bank is the CDD's; a gate procedure is the association's; a cart path or a clubhouse hour is the club's. The CDD's FY 2027 capital plan, in the Fee Stack section, shows the district's side of that split in dollars.

The shared road and entrance covenant of 2002

On April 29, 2002 the developer recorded a Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs for Renaissance. Under it the club maintains the main entry and the spine road's landscaping, lighting and signage, the master association reimburses 50 percent of the Road Budget and 25 percent of the Entrance Budget, and the association may not disapprove or reduce either budget (Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs, April 29, 2002, recorded copy posted by the club owner).

The covenant was written when one developer controlled the club and the association, and it now governs two separately owned parties, a structure the county's records show both sides negotiating since 2024, when the club sent the association a proposed cost-sharing agreement (Concert's proposed Cost Sharing Agreement, July 2, 2024). For a buyer the practical point is that part of the master assessment funds road and entrance work that the club performs, so the association's budget, when you receive it, should show that line.

Disputes since 2023, in dates

The parties have disputed shared road, entrance and gate costs since 2024. The dated facts, stated without characterising anyone: Concert Renaissance LLC v. Renaissance CDD (Lee Circuit 23-CA-011452, filed October 2023) was settled and dismissed in June 2025, with a refund of the club's 2023-24 and 2024-25 operations and maintenance assessments with interest of $270,358.78, plus $100,000 of fees, financed in part by a $105,000 CDD loan (Renaissance CDD, Audit Report FY 2025; Settlement and Partial Release Agreement). On June 23, 2025 Lee County's hearing examiner found no zoning violation in four code cases (Hearing Examiner signed orders). The same day Concert Renaissance LLC v. Renaissance Community Association, Inc., a breach of contract case, was e-filed; it was described in February 2026 as moving toward settlement, and its outcome is not on any record we found (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Minutes, February 9, 2026).

Why a buyer reads these: the CDD settlement explains why the golf parcels pay debt service only in FY 2027, and the open contract case concerns the very cost share the master assessment funds. Ask the association's estoppel and disclosure documents whether any litigation or special assessment is pending.

Leasing, pets and architecture

The verified rule is the association's power: it may approve or disapprove the transfer, leasing and occupancy of parcels "only to the extent provided in the Governing Documents" (Sunbiz, Amended and Restated Articles, read October 2026). The rules themselves, minimum lease terms, short-term rental limits, pet and vehicle rules and the architectural review process, are in the Declaration and the association's rules, which are not published. Triana owners face a second set in their condominium documents.

So the order of questions is fixed: if you plan to lease, read the leasing article before you write an offer, not after; if you plan an exterior change, read the architectural provisions and the zoning amendments for your lot together; and on a Triana unit, check both the master and the condominium rules.

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

Owning a home in The Renaissance means a CDD line on the Lee County tax bill of $1,406.77 to $6,788.51 in FY 2027 by product, district 047 property tax at a final 2026 13.3623 mills, solid waste, master association dues and, for Triana, condominium dues, neither published, plus the club's $5,050 resident social dues, as the club states them.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

The CDD figures here are from the district's FY 2027 Adopted Budget, approved August 10, 2026, and its Assessments page (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027; Renaissance CDD, Assessments; Renaissance CDD, Meeting Minutes, August 10, 2026). Club figures are the club's own 2026 booklet. Sale figures cited in this section come from the Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis. Unpublished layers are named, never estimated.

The Fee Stack, one table

Three lines ride on one tax bill (ad valorem, the CDD and solid waste), so a buyer reading a prior-year bill sees most of the government layer in one place. The two association lines and the club line are billed separately and are the ones a buyer must document at contract. The solid waste rate for a Triana condominium unit is not confirmed on the county page, so it is left off the Triana row.

CDD charges by product, FY 2027

The CDD assigns every home to a product row, and the row sets the debt line. The operations and maintenance piece is the same $1,251.10 for every home in FY 2027.

"X 2" is a home on two platted lots and "X 1.5" a lot and a half, each with one combined assessment. The arithmetic checks row by row: $1,251.10 + $395.53 = $1,646.63 for Triana, $1,251.10 + $2,768.70 = $4,019.80 for Terabella, and $1,251.10 + $5,537.41 = $6,788.51 for a Terabella double lot. It also checks against the budget: $1,251.10 x 386 homes = $482,924.60, which is the budget's $482,925 gross O&M, so in FY 2027 the operations and maintenance cost falls on the 386 homes and the two golf parcels pay debt service only, $30,337.09 for the clubhouse parcel and $37,875.88 for the playing area.

How the CDD charge has moved, FY 2022 to FY 2027

Sources: CDD Adopted Budget FY 2023; FY 2024; FY 2025; FY 2026; FY 2027.

Two steps shaped today's charge. The jump from FY 2022 to FY 2023 was 63.5 percent, then the rate held for three years, and the FY 2027 budget added 8.0 percent. The debt lines, by contrast, have been unchanged on every product row from FY 2023 through FY 2027, since the 2022 refinancing. A buyer comparing an older tax bill with this year's should expect the O&M piece to differ and the debt piece to match.

The bonds behind the debt line

The debt line repays the Series 2022 Capital Improvement Revenue Refunding Bonds, issued July 15, 2022: $5,545,000 at 4.25 percent, which refunded the Series 2012 bonds ($4,835,000 outstanding at the time) and funded irrigation wells (Renaissance CDD, Audit FY 2022). After the May 1, 2026 payment, $4,232,881 is outstanding, and the final payment is due May 1, 2037 (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027).

Separate from the bonds, the district's FY 2025 audit records the $105,000 loan taken toward the 2025 settlement, which the budget is retiring from the general fund rather than from a new assessment line (Renaissance CDD, Audit Report FY 2025). When the bonds are repaid in 2037, the debt line ends; the operations and maintenance line continues for as long as the district maintains the lakes and preserves.

Prepaid rows and what they change

Some owners paid off their share of the old Series 2012 debt, and the CDD's schedule marks those lots with their own rows. A Villagio home whose owner prepaid the Series 2012 debt carries $155.67 of debt in FY 2027 instead of $870.16, a difference of $714.49 a year; a Via Lago home carries $424.54 instead of $2,373.18, a difference of $1,948.64 (Renaissance CDD, Assessments). The prepaid lots still carry a smaller debt line, which reads as their share of the 2022 issue that paid for the new wells (inferred).

The seller angle is direct: the schedule row decides what the next owner pays every year through 2037, so two otherwise similar Villagio homes can carry different annual costs. We pull the CDD row for the lot before pricing, and a buyer should confirm it on the prior tax bill or by estoppel letter from the district.

Paying off the bond portion

The debt piece of the CDD charge can be paid off in full by requesting an estoppel letter from the district, which costs $150; the payoff does not remove the operations and maintenance piece and cannot be reversed (Renaissance CDD, Assessments). Because the debt line is level from FY 2027 through FY 2037, it is 11 annual assessments counting FY 2027. In nominal sums, not a payoff quote:

These are not payoff figures: a payoff figure comes only from the district's estoppel letter for a specific parcel, and it should come in below the nominal sum because interest is not charged on principal repaid early (inferred). A buyer weighing a payoff compares the letter's figure with the cash kept by simply paying the line each November.

Property tax: district 047 millage

Every Renaissance parcel sits in Lee tax district 047. The final 2026 total for district 047 is 13.3623 mills, against 13.4125 adopted for 2025; for a specific parcel, run it through the Lee County Property Appraiser's estimator at leepa.org (Lee County Property Appraiser, 2026 Taxing District Millage Book (final, printed October 9, 2026), district 047). Within that total, South Trail Fire and Rescue adopted 2.5000 mills on September 21, 2026, and the School District's total for fiscal 2027 is 5.271 mills (South Trail Fire and Rescue District, 2026-2027 Final Budget; WGCU, September 11, 2026).

The arithmetic: 13.3623 mills is $13.3623 per $1,000 of taxable value, or $1,336.23 per $100,000. Taxable value is the property appraiser's figure after exemptions and caps, which can sit well below a recent sale price for a long-held homestead and reset after a sale, so a buyer's first full bill can be higher than the seller's. Paying the tax bill in November earns the 4 percent early-payment discount, and the discount applies to the CDD line too: the Monteverdi CDD charge of $2,516.79 becomes $2,416.12 ($2,516.79 x 0.96) when paid in November (Lee County Tax Collector, Real Estate Property Taxes).

Worked example: what a year of known charges adds up to

The table adds the layers that are published. Taxable values are assumptions chosen to show the arithmetic, not estimates of anyone's bill; the millage is the final 2026 13.3623; the CDD line is the FY 2027 adopted figure; solid waste is the FY 2025-26 single-family rate and is not applied to the Triana row.

Add to every row what the public record does not give: the master association assessment (not published), the Triana association assessment on the Triana row (not published), the club's resident social dues if billed to the home ($5,050 a year in 2026 per the club; whether they are compulsory by covenant is not on any record read), homeowners and wind coverage (we quote no premiums) and a flood policy if chosen or required. The flood and insurance sections explain the Citizens flood rule that can make a flood policy a requirement even in Zone X.

The club line on the budget

The Club at Renaissance's 2026 booklet says Community (social) membership "is included with a Renaissance Real Estate purchase", with resident social dues of $5,050 a year before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax (The Club at Renaissance, 2026 Membership booklet). In the club's own words that membership comes with the purchase; what the record does not show is a covenant that makes the dues compulsory on every lot, because the Declaration's text was not available to us. Treat the club line as a cost the club states and the governing documents confirm or not.

For budgeting, put the $5,050 in the annual column beside the CDD and the master assessment, and put golf in its own decision: Full Golf carries a $90,000 one-time, non-refundable initiation and $14,760 in resident dues, Executive Golf $50,000 and $12,050, before tax. The club section lays out every category, the age bands and a year-one table. The club's dues are the club's to set each year; read the booklet current at your contract.

The master association and Triana dues that are not published

No master association budget or assessment figure was reachable in any public document on the dates we searched, and no Triana association figure either. We do not print a number for either one, and we do not estimate one. The document that states them is the estoppel certificate, which Florida law requires the association to issue on request at a capped fee: up to $299 per association, plus $119 expedited or $179 if the account is delinquent (Florida Statutes s. 720.30851 for the master association; s. 718.116 for a Triana condominium).

A Triana buyer needs two estoppels, one from the master association and one from the condominium association. Ask for them early in the contract period, together with the association budgets, because the master budget also shows the gate staffing cost and the road and entrance cost share, and the Triana budget shows the reserves that pay for roofs and painting.

What the CDD is spending on next

The FY 2027 budget funds a capital plan from fund balance: lake bank restoration $250,000, storm drain remediation $30,000, wall analysis and repair $10,000 and aerators $20,000 (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027). The lake work already has its county approval: development order LDO2023-00067, "Renaissance CDD Lakes Restoration", was issued March 13, 2026 "to repair the lake banks within Renaissance CDD on a lake by lake basis" (Lee County DCD, Development Orders layer).

The open item is how the operations and maintenance cost will be shared from FY 2028. A new methodology is under study on the October 12, 2026 agenda, and whether the golf parcels will pay O&M again from FY 2028 is open (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Agenda, October 12, 2026). If the golf parcels return to the O&M roll, the per-home share would be spread across more units; if not, it stays on the 386 homes. Watch the summer 2027 budget hearing.

What to request before you sign

• The CDD schedule row for the lot, from the prior tax bill or the district's estoppel letter, including whether the Series 2012 debt was prepaid.
• An estoppel certificate from each association: the master association for every home, and the Triana condominium association for a Triana unit.
• The Declaration and its amendments, Instrument 2021000076510 and anything recorded since, with the association's rules on leasing, pets, vehicles and architecture.
• The Triana budget and reserve schedule, with any special assessment and the plan for the 2027 painting project, on a Triana purchase.
• The club's current membership agreement and booklet, to confirm what the club conveys with the purchase, the dues and any transfer terms.
• Insurance quotes for homeowners, wind and, if chosen or required, flood, before the inspection period ends.

What Neighborhoods Are Inside The Renaissance?

The Renaissance holds six sections: Terabella and Vittoria estate homes, Monteverdi executive homes on the course, Villagio's 59 detached villas on the smallest lots, Via Lago's newer homes on its own Phase 2A plat, and the 130 Triana I to IV coach-home condominiums, each on its own CDD row and resale pool.

The section names are the developer's own registered service marks, TERABELLA, VILLAGIO, TRIANA, VITTORIA, MONTEVERDI and VIA LAGO, filed August 12, 2004 (Sunbiz, VITTORIA service mark filing, read October 2026). On the county roll they read as plat blocks: Plat Book 72 Block A (Terabella), Block B (Vittoria), Block C (Villagio) and Block F (Monteverdi), Renaissance Phase 2A (Via Lago) and Triana I to IV of Renaissance. Only Triana has its own associations. Figures below are from the Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis, with the market section carrying the full sale tables.

The inventory, one table

View class is the property appraiser's code on single-family lots, a record attribute rather than a field check (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel service). The streets named are the only streets in each section, all privately maintained.

Terabella: the estate section

Terabella, Plat Book 72 Block A on Terabella Way and Terabella Place, is the estate section: 38 homes and one vacant homesite on the community's largest lots, a median of about 0.53 acre, with heated area up to 9,254 square feet and homes built from 2003 to 2018. The 2004 brochure called it "Estate Homes", and the CDD assesses it as "SF 140 ft", the highest single-lot debt row at $2,768.70 in FY 2027, for a total CDD line of $4,019.80.

Twenty-three of its 39 lots carry the golf-course view class and 11 the lake class. Sales here are few and large: one sale in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, at $2,330,000, and Terabella holds the highest single-family sale the county recorded in the 24 months, $4,200,000 in October 2024 for a 2017 home of 4,691 heated square feet. With so few trades, Terabella is priced from the estate blocks' combined record rather than from its own street alone.

Vittoria and Vittoria Court

Vittoria, Block B on Vittoria Way and Vittoria Court, holds 49 homes and one vacant homesite on median lots of about 0.36 acre, from 2,907 to 5,800 heated square feet, built from 2003 to 2021. The brochure's "Single Family Homes" sit on the CDD's "SF 90 ft" row, $2,833.22 in FY 2027, or $4,415.33 for a home on two lots.

Vittoria recorded two sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, $1,499,900 and $2,300,000. The spread between those two is the section in miniature: a 2003 home on a standard lot and a later custom home on a golf or double lot can sit far apart on the same street. Thirty-two lots carry the golf view class and 10 the lake class. Stock Signature Homes built here in its 2015 to 2019 years, so Vittoria mixes first-decade homes with newer ones.

Monteverdi: executive homes on the course

Monteverdi, Block F on Monteverdi Way, holds 48 homes and 4 vacant homesites, the most open lots of any section, on median lots of about 0.30 acre, from 2,556 to 5,735 heated square feet, built from 2003 to 2023. Its defining fact is the course: 43 of its 52 lots carry the appraiser's golf-course view class. The brochure called it "Executive Homes"; the CDD row is "Executive 75 ft", $2,516.79 in FY 2027, with lot-and-a-half and double-lot rows above it.

Monteverdi recorded 4 sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 at a $1,462,495 median, from $900,000 to $2,295,000. It is also the section closest to the Mall Loop Road connection, about 0.4 route miles inside the gates (routing-engine estimate). For a buyer who wants to build new inside The Renaissance, Monteverdi's four vacant homesites are most of the remaining supply.

Villagio: detached villas on the smallest lots

Villagio, Block C on Villagio Way, is 59 detached single-family homes on the smallest lots in the community, a median of about 0.21 acre, from 1,913 to 3,138 heated square feet, all built from 2003 to 2006 under one builder program; 57 of the 59 have two or three bedrooms. Twenty-eight lots carry the golf view class, two the lake class and 29 neither. The CDD row is "Villa 60 ft", $2,121.26 in FY 2027, or $1,406.77 where the owner prepaid the Series 2012 debt.

Villagio is the busiest single-family section: 5 sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 at a $935,000 median, from $640,000 to $1,060,000, and 18 sales over 60 months at a $917,500 median and $346.15 per square foot of county heated area. A name trap to note: Villagio at Estero is a different place, a 513-unit Estero condominium with its own association; Villagio here has no association of its own and appears on the roll only as Block C.

Via Lago: Phase 2A and the newest homes

Via Lago, the Renaissance Phase 2A plat (Plat Book 81) on Via Lago Way, holds 55 homes built from 2006 to 2024, 23 of them from 2015 to 2019 and 4 since 2020, from 2,909 to 6,898 heated square feet on lots of 13,486 to 29,207 square feet. Thirty of its 55 lots carry the lake class and 24 the golf class. The CDD row is "Estate 120 ft", $3,624.28 in FY 2027, or $1,675.64 where the Series 2012 debt was prepaid, and $5,997.45 on a double lot.

Few Via Lago owners sell: one sale in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, at $1,590,000 for a 2020 home, and 11 sales over 60 months at a $1,810,000 median, from $1,580,000 to $2,500,000, at $503.31 per square foot of county heated area, the highest section median in the community. Via Lago's own legal description reads Renaissance Phase 2A, not Via Lago, a detail that matters when you search the county record.

Triana I to IV: the coach-home condominiums

Triana is 130 condominium units in 32 two-story buildings on Triana Terrace, 31 of four units and one of six, built from 2003 to 2007, with floor plans from 1,826 to 2,733 heated square feet; 32 units have two bedrooms and 98 have three on the roll. It is four condominiums, Triana I, II, III and IV of Renaissance, each with its own association inside the master association, and the CDD assesses each unit as a "Coach 4-plex" at $1,646.63 in FY 2027.

The county recorded 8 Triana sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, under ten, so we lead with the 24-month figure: 10 sales at a $506,000 median, from $430,000 to $910,000, at $252.46 per square foot of county heated area. The market section lists every one of those sales by date.

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

Golf, lake or neither: view classes by section

The appraiser's view class is a coding on the single-family lot record (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel service), not a promise about what a window frames, but it reads the community well. Monteverdi is the golf section, Via Lago the lake section, and Villagio splits nearly in half between golf lots and lots with neither view. Lake lots sit beside the CDD's lake maintenance easement of about 20 feet, where fences, patios and planting changes are not allowed, so a lake view comes with a strip you cannot build on.

The six vacant homesites

The 2026 roll shows six vacant residential homesites: one on Terabella Way, one on Vittoria Way and four on Monteverdi Way. Each already sits on a CDD product row, so a vacant lot pays the district's charge from the day you own it, before any home is built. Building one means a custom home designed for the lot, approved through the master association's architectural process and permitted by Lee County under the RPD zoning and any amendment that names the lot.

Six homesites is a small supply in a community of 385, and it explains why new construction here is a one-off rather than a phase. A buyer comparing a vacant Monteverdi lot with a resale should price the CDD line, the build timeline, the permit and the insurance on new construction together.

Names the MLS may carry

Buyers search the section names, while the county record uses plat blocks and Phase 2A, so the same home can appear under different labels. In the Southwest Florida MLS all 36 Renaissance records in the Matrix export of October 29, 2026 (closed, active and pending) carry the Development Name RENAISSANCE, and the Sub Condo Name field reads TERABELLA, VITTORIA, VILLAGIO, MONTEVERDI or TRIANA by section. Via Lago homes carry no section name there: their Sub Condo Name reads RENAISSANCE, as does one Monteverdi Way sale, so search Via Lago by street.

Until that field is read, search both ways: by the section name, and by "Renaissance" with the street (Terabella Way, Vittoria Way, Villagio Way, Monteverdi Way, Via Lago Way or Triana Terrace). And watch the name traps: the Renaissance condominium on Winkler Avenue, Renaissance Preserve and Villagio at Estero are different places with their own records.

How to choose between the six sections

Start with the product, then the costs. If you want a condominium with the lowest CDD row and a separate association handling the building, the choice is Triana, a two-story coach home at a 24-month median of $506,000. If you want a detached home on a small lot with the most comparable resales, it is Villagio, at a 60-month median of $917,500. If you want a golf view on a mid-size lot, Monteverdi's 43 golf-class lots lead. If you want the largest lots and the widest range of custom homes, Terabella and Vittoria. If you want a newer home, often on a lake, Via Lago.

Then line up the cost of each choice: the CDD row (from $1,406.77 for a prepaid Villagio lot to $6,788.51 for a Terabella double lot), the master assessment and, for Triana, the condominium assessment, the club line as the club states it, and the insurance quotes. The same purchase price can carry very different annual costs from one section to the next, and that is the comparison we build for every buyer here.

What Is The Club at Renaissance, and How Does Membership Work?

The Club at Renaissance is the private golf and country club at the center of The Renaissance, owned and operated since September 22, 2022 by Concert Renaissance, LLC, an affiliate of Concert Golf Partners. The club's 2026 booklet says community membership is included with a Renaissance home purchase at $5,050 a year in resident social dues.

Data updated: October 2026 (The Club at Renaissance 2026 membership booklet, read October 21, 2026; all club figures before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax).

The club is the largest single landholder inside the gates after the homes themselves. It owns the golf course tracts, the clubhouse tract and the maintenance tract, about 156 acres in all, and it runs the course, the clubhouse, the courts, the pool, the spa and the restaurants. Everything a buyer needs to know about it starts from one fact: the club is a business owned by a company, not by the people who live here, and its membership terms are set by the club and published in its own booklet (The Club at Renaissance, 2026 Membership Prospects with Pricing; Lee County Property Appraiser parcel service). This section walks through who owns it, what the club says comes with a home, what each category costs in 2026, and what to confirm before you close.

Who owns the club

The Club at Renaissance, at 12801 Renaissance Way, is privately owned and operated by Concert Renaissance, LLC, a Florida-registered affiliate of Concert Golf Partners, which describes itself as an owner-operator of private golf and country clubs (Florida Division of Corporations, Concert Renaissance, LLC, read October 2026; Concert Golf Partners, The Club at Renaissance). The sale from the original developer closed on September 22, 2022 and was announced on September 27, 2022 as Concert's 27th club (Concert Golf Partners, A Haven in the Storm; Concert Golf Partners press release, September 27, 2022). The 2025 settlement between the club owner and the CDD recites the same acquisition date (Settlement and Partial Release Agreement, 2025).

Before 2022 the club belonged to the developer's own company, Worthington of Renaissance, LLC, which built the community from 2002 onward; that company was administratively dissolved on September 22, 2023. The club is not owned by the residents, by the Renaissance Community Association or by the Renaissance Community Development District. That matters because the people who set dues, initiation and categories answer to the owner, not to a member vote, and because the club's relationship with the CDD and the master association runs through recorded easements and cost-sharing covenants rather than shared ownership.

What comes with a Renaissance home: the club's statement

The club's own wording is the only first-party statement on this point: Community (social) membership "is included with a Renaissance Real Estate purchase", and resident social dues are $5,050 a year in 2026 (The Club at Renaissance, 2026 booklet; Join the Club). What the club says is conveyed with a home purchase is the community membership itself, with its initiation included; what is not conveyed is golf, which is a separate category with its own initiation and dues.

What we could not establish from the record is whether the resident social dues are levied by covenant on every lot. The governing instrument is the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Renaissance, Lee County Instrument 2021000076510, and its text was not available to read (Concert's proposed cost-sharing agreement, July 2024, citing the Declaration). The club has also said it was negotiating "membership terms" with the master association. So the accurate reading is the club's sentence as written, plus a document request: before you sign, ask the seller and the club for the membership agreement that applies to the home and the Declaration article that covers the club.

Membership categories and 2026 prices

The club publishes five categories. Its age bands are pricing rules of a private club, not an age status for the community: The Renaissance is not designated age-restricted on any record we read.

Source: The Club at Renaissance, 2026 Membership Prospects with Pricing, all figures before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax. The club's web page gives the Full Golf band as "45 to 74" in one line; the 2026 booklet says 45 to 75, and the booklet is the dated pricing document.

Worked example: year-one cost by path

Here is what the first year looks like on each path, from the booklet's own numbers. The club notes that "all figures exclude 6.5% Florida sales tax"; the right column applies the tax to every line as that note reads, and whether the tax applies to initiation is the club's to confirm.

On top of those lines, a golf member pays the $32 member cart fee per round. There is no food and beverage minimum to add, and the club states it levies no special assessments. One thing the booklet does not say: whether golf dues replace the $5,050 social dues or are added to them. On the Full Golf path that question is worth $5,050 a year before tax, so ask the membership office in writing. For a read of how these club lines sit beside the CDD charge, the property tax and the association dues, see the Fee Stack section of this guide.

Equity or owner-operated?

No document we read calls The Club at Renaissance an equity club or a non-equity club. What the record does show is that initiation is stated as non-refundable and the club is owned by a for-profit company that members do not control (2026 booklet; Sunbiz record). That makes it a non-equity club in practice (our inference from those two facts): owner-operated, with initiation that does not come back to you when you sell or resign.

The practical consequences for a buyer are three. You are not buying a share of the club's real estate, so the club's capital decisions are the owner's. The owner, not a member board, sets each year's dues and categories. And the value of a golf membership at resale depends on the club's transfer rules, not on a share price. Buyers comparing club structures usually look across Daniels Parkway: Fiddlesticks Country Club, about 1.7 miles to the south across Daniels Parkway, is the golf community buyers most often weigh against The Renaissance; our comparison section sets the two side by side.

Caps on golf membership

The booklet caps each golf category: 25 Executive Golf members, 225 Full Golf members and 25 Heritage Golf members (2026 booklet; Join the Club). The social category carries no stated cap. Caps matter most for a buyer who wants golf from the first day: if a category is full, the club decides how new owners are admitted, and no waitlist rule or current membership count appears on any record we read. The cap on Executive Golf in particular is small next to the 385 homesites on the county roll. Ask the membership office which categories have openings at the time you write an offer, and make your contract timeline reflect the answer.

No food minimum and no assessments: the club's stated policy

The 2026 booklet lists the food and beverage minimum as "None" and special assessments as "None" for the golf categories. Concert's November 2024 release describes the same approach, "building and maintaining a thriving club environment with no assessments" (Concert Golf Partners, clubhouse renovation release). Read both as the owner's stated policy for 2026, not as a recorded covenant: a policy can change with the next booklet, and dues set annually by the owner are the lever that replaces an assessment in an owner-operated club. The useful question for the club is how dues have moved in recent years and what notice members receive before a change.

Non-resident members and reciprocal play

The club sells memberships to people who do not own in The Renaissance. The booklet prices non-resident Full Golf dues at $19,810 a year, and the club's web page lists non-resident social and golf categories. Members also have reciprocal access to other clubs through Concert's network and outside reciprocal services listed on the club's site (Affiliated Clubs; Concert Golf Partners, Reciprocal Booklet). In the 2022 announcement, Concert said "in-bound reciprocal play at Renaissance will be carefully limited" (press release, September 27, 2022). For an owner, the mix of resident and non-resident members shapes tee sheets and dining rooms; the club is the source for the current mix.

The clubhouse refresh announced for 2025

The Mediterranean-style clubhouse was completed in 2004; with the spa and fitness complex it runs about 36,000 sq ft, and the county roll shows 36,130 heated sq ft on the clubhouse parcel (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). On November 4, 2024 Concert announced "a multi-million dollar capital infusion project in 2025" to expand the dining spaces, refresh the front door and main dining areas, add member wine lockers and a new bar, and screen the upstairs terrace (Concert Golf Partners, clubhouse renovation release). We found no record of the project's cost or its completion: no permit final inspection and no completion notice on the club's or Concert's pages. Ask the club what is finished, what is still scheduled, and whether any of it is funded by members.

How the club relates to the CDD and the master association

Three bodies share the land inside the gates, and their lines cross at the club. The CDD holds the lakes, the preserves and the stormwater system; the club irrigates from CDD lakes under a water easement and runs cart paths over CDD tracts under an access easement, both set out in exhibits to the 2025 settlement (Settlement and Partial Release Agreement). Under the 2002 Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs, the club maintains the main entry and the spine road's landscaping, lighting and signage, and the master association reimburses 50 percent of the Road Budget and 25 percent of the Entrance Budget; the covenant says the association may not disapprove or reduce either budget (Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs, April 29, 2002). The guardhouse belongs to the master association, not the club or the CDD.

On the tax roll, the CDD's fiscal 2027 budget charges the two golf parcels debt service only, $30,337.09 on the clubhouse parcel and $37,875.88 on the playing area, with the operations and maintenance charge falling on the 386 homes; a new O&M methodology was on the CDD's October 12, 2026 agenda, so whether the golf parcels pay O&M again from fiscal 2028 is open (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027). The club owner's suit against the CDD was settled and dismissed in June 2025, and its separate breach-of-contract suit against the master association, filed June 23, 2025, had no recorded outcome on the records we read. The governance section of this guide sets those dates out in full.

What to confirm with the club before closing

Club terms are the club's to state, so get them in writing before your inspection period ends:

• The membership agreement that applies to this home, and the Declaration article covering the club.
• How the community membership transfers at closing, and whether a seller's golf membership can transfer or must be surrendered.
• Which golf categories have openings under the caps, and how a new owner is admitted if one is full.
• Whether golf dues replace or add to the $5,050 resident social dues.
• Whether the 6.5 percent sales tax applies to initiation as well as dues.
• Heritage Golf pricing, if it applies to you, since the 2026 booklet does not print it.
• The current booklet year, because every figure above is a 2026 price.

What Is the Golf Course at The Renaissance Like?

The golf course at The Renaissance is an 18-hole, par-72 Arthur Hills design that opened in 2003 and is rated 75.6 with a 147 slope for men from the Championship tees on the Florida State Golf Association record read October 28, 2026, near the top of the USGA slope scale. Woven through it is The 54, a separate 18-hole par-3 layout the club added in its 2020 overhaul.

The course is the reason the community is laid out the way it is: most single-family lots in Terabella, Vittoria, Monteverdi and Villagio carry the Lee County Property Appraiser's golf course view class, and the clubhouse sits near the center of the plan. The record on the course comes from three places: the club's own pages and booklet, the Florida State Golf Association's rating record, and newspaper reporting on the architect.

Arthur Hills' design, opened 2003

Arthur Hills designed the championship course, and the club "opened its doors in 2003" (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). The Naples Daily News obituary of Arthur Hills, published on the Golfweek site on May 19, 2021, lists The Club at Renaissance (2003) among his Lee County courses (Golfweek, Arthur Hills obituary). The course was routed through the lakes and preserves that the CDD now maintains, which is why so many holes play along water and why the course tracts and the CDD's lake tracts touch along much of their length.

Rating and slope: 75.6 and 147

The USGA Slope Rating scale runs from 55 to 155 (USGA National Course Rating Database), so a 147 slope puts the Championship tees near the top of the scale for a bogey golfer relative to a scratch golfer. Concert Golf Partners' November 2024 release gave the course a 75.9 rating and a 155 slope (Concert Golf Partners, clubhouse renovation release); the FSGA record we read on October 28, 2026 shows 75.6 and 147 for men, so we print the rating authority's current figure. The forward tees carry lower ratings and slopes on the FSGA record, which is where a golfer finds the rating for the tee they will actually use.

Length and tees from the scorecard

The club's hole-by-hole scorecard adds up to about 7,250 yards from the Championship tees and lists eight named tees (Course Tour and Scorecard). Concert's November 2024 release gives 7,248 yards and a different tee count, so we use the scorecard, which is the document the club posts for play. The spread of tees is the practical point: a long course from the back, with forward sets that bring it within reach of most members. The written hole descriptions on the same club page quote older yardages that do not match the scorecard table, so the table is the figure to rely on.

The 54: an 18-hole par-3 layout inside the course

The 54 is an integrated 18-hole par-3 layout woven through the main course, introduced in the 2020 transformation (2026 booklet; Concert Golf Partners, The Club at Renaissance). It gives the club a second way to play the same ground: a shorter round, practice for the short game, or a format for newer golfers. It is part of the club, so access follows club membership rather than home ownership.

The 2020 redesign

In late 2019 the club began what it calls a "total reinvention", and the course renovations were completed in fall 2020 under the name "Renaissance 2.0" (Our Story). The 2026 booklet describes "a redesigned 18-hole golf course, a new indoor practice facility, and an all-grass driving range", plus The 54; Concert's 2022 release adds a pool bar, an outdoor dining patio, a golf performance academy, a fire pit, bocce and pickleball (press release, September 27, 2022). The architect of the 2020 course work is not named on any record we read; a Lee County development order or the architect's own portfolio would hold it.

Practice facilities and the golf academy

The 2020 work gave the club an indoor practice facility, an all-grass driving range and a golf performance academy, with PGA professionals offering lessons and club fittings and a pro shop on site (Golf Experience; Golf). The booklet lists access to the golf academy among the privileges of social members too, which matters for an owner who keeps the community membership without joining a golf category. Concert's 2024 release says the club uses neither a Chelsea system nor a lottery for tee times; how tee times are booked today is a question for the golf shop.

The Golfweek 2005 list, as the club reports it

The club reports that Golfweek named the course one of America's Top 40 New Golf Courses in 2005 (Our Story; 2026 booklet). Concert repeats the same claim on its location page. We searched for the original Golfweek list and did not find it, so we print it as the club's report, with its year.

Ian and the course

Hurricane Ian struck within days of the club changing hands in 2022. Concert says the course was cleared and reopened for play about ten days after landfall and that the club sustained an estimated $2.5 million in damage, a figure that is the owner's own estimate (Concert Golf Partners, A Haven in the Storm). No county, National Weather Service or FEMA document we read names damage to the course or to Renaissance homes; the hurricane section of this guide covers what the public record does show.

What Amenities Does The Renaissance Have Besides Golf?

Beyond golf, The Renaissance's amenities sit inside The Club at Renaissance: six red clay tennis courts, two lighted pickleball courts, bocce, a heated resort-style pool with the Rendezvous pavilion, a fitness center and full-service spa, and two restaurants, The Rotunda and The Turnhouse. Outside the club, the CDD says it maintains about 160 acres of preserves.

Because those facilities belong to the club, access follows club membership: the club's statement that community membership comes with a home purchase is what opens them to a resident owner, and the club's own pages describe each one (The Club at Renaissance, 2026 booklet). Social members get dining, pool, spa and fitness, tennis, pickleball, bocce and social events, with golf events excluded.

Tennis: six red clay courts

The club has six red clay tennis courts, described in the booklet as lighted HydroGrid courts, with round robins, men's and ladies' clinics, lessons, junior classes, a ball machine and a yearly Member-Guest Tennis Invitational (Tennis). Club teams play in the Lee County women's and men's leagues in the spring-summer and autumn seasons.

Pickleball and bocce

Two lighted pickleball courts arrived with the 2020 overhaul, with new court lighting for evening play, plus clinics, lessons, socials and children's programs (Pickleball). The bocce courts sit beside The Turnhouse with an active bocce league and a fire pit nearby (Bocce). The club's pages do not give the number of bocce courts or the pickleball surface.

The pool and the Rendezvous pavilion

The pool is heated and resort-style, with the Rendezvous Pool Pavilion serving lunch and drinks poolside (Pool). The club's own pool page says two different things about the season: its summary says "Open Memorial Day through Labor Day", while the body text says "year-round pool access" and calls the pavilion "Open seasonally". The booklet describes year-round use. Confirm the current pool and pavilion hours with the club before you count on either.

Fitness and the spa

The fitness center carries treadmills, ellipticals, spin and recumbent bikes, a rower, a stair climber, weight machines and a strength and conditioning area, plus a flex room for aerobics, yoga and dance, locker rooms, steam rooms and personal training (Spa and Fitness). The full-service spa offers massages, body treatments, facials and waxing. Bookings run through the club, so a social membership is what gives a resident owner access.

Dining: The Rotunda and The Turnhouse

The Rotunda is the upstairs dining room, with course views and chef-driven menus for special occasions; The Turnhouse is the casual downstairs room for lunch, dinner and happy hour, opening onto the patio and fire pit; and the Rendezvous Pool Bar serves lakeside and poolside (Dining and Social Events; 2026 booklet). The club's dining page lists pub nights and themed dinners through the season. The 2025 clubhouse refresh Concert announced was aimed at these rooms, so the layout a buyer tours today may differ from older photos.

Preserves, lakes and the CDD's land

The land a resident sees from most back lanais belongs to the CDD, not the club. The Renaissance Community Development District maintains the stormwater lakes, fountains, aerators and drainage structures, the berms, part of the irrigation distribution system and the I-75 perimeter wall, and says it maintains "approximately 160 acres of protected preserves" (Renaissance CDD, Services; Letter to Renaissance Residents, April 2025). A lake maintenance easement of about 20 feet runs around each lake, and inside it owners may not add fences or patios or change the vegetation, a point that matters to anyone planning a pool cage or landscaping on a lake lot. Lee County issued the CDD a development order on March 13, 2026, LDO2023-00067, "to repair the lake banks within Renaissance CDD on a lake by lake basis", so lake bank work is a current, scheduled item rather than a hypothetical one.

What is not here: no community trail system or dog park on any record

We found no community walking trail, nature trail, dog park or neighborhood clubhouse separate from the club on any record we read: not on the CDD's services page, not in the club's materials and not on the county park and point-of-interest layers. The club booklet mentions a playground near the pool. Rules on fishing or kayaking in the lakes are not published; the association's rules and regulations would hold them. Walkers and cyclists use the private streets inside the gates, and the nearest public boardwalk is Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, covered below.

Is There a Marina or Beach Access at The Renaissance?

The Renaissance has no marina, dock, boat ramp or navigable water on any record we read; its lakes are freshwater stormwater lakes held by the CDD. The nearest Gulf beach by road is Bunche Beach, 13.7 route miles from the main gate, with Fort Myers Beach at 14.7 miles and the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza at 16.0.

Boating and the beach are a drive from here, not a walk, and the drive runs west and south across the Fort Myers grid. Distances below are route miles from the Palomino Lane entrance on a free-flow road model, so treat them as a guide rather than a drive time.

No marina, dock or navigable water

The county hydrography layer codes every water body inside the community as a freshwater pond, and the CDD describes them as stormwater lakes (Lee County GIS, Hydrography; Renaissance CDD, Services). There is no tidal water, no marina, no ramp and no dock on any plat, permit or county layer we read. A lake view here is a stormwater lake view, with the CDD's maintenance easement around it.

The nearest public boat ramps

The nearest public ramps on Lee County's water access layer are the Davis Boat Ramp on Davis Boulevard, the Frizzell Kontinos Punta Rassa Boat Ramp on Punta Rassa Road near the Sanibel Causeway, the Imperial River Boat Ramp in Bonita Springs, and the ramp at Lovers Key State Park, 27.7 route miles away (Florida State Parks, Lovers Key State Park). A boat owner here needs storage off site or a trailer; whether a trailered boat may be kept at the home is a question for the community's governing documents and rules, which are not published.

Beaches by route mile

Lee County's beaches page lists its beach parks and accesses and notes that most open dawn to dusk and that parking varies by location (Lee County Parks, Beaches, read October 2026). Bunche Beach, on San Carlos Bay, is the closest shoreline; Fort Myers Beach and Sanibel are the classic Gulf beach days; Lovers Key is the longest drive of the group and has its own boat ramp and paddle launch.

Lynn Hall Memorial Park and the Sanibel Causeway toll

Lynn Hall Memorial Park, the public park at the Fort Myers Beach pier, was listed by Lee County as "temporarily closed for post-Hurricane Ian improvements", with its parking closed during construction and LeeTran Park and Ride suggested instead; the county page showed no reopening date when read in October 2026 (Lee County Parks, Lynn Hall Memorial Park). Check that page before planning a pier day. Sanibel and Captiva are reached over the Sanibel Causeway, which is tolled by Lee County; the current fares, including transponder and pay-by-plate rates, are on the county's toll page (Lee County Tolls).

What Is Day-to-Day Life Like Around The Renaissance?

Day-to-day life around The Renaissance runs along Daniels Parkway and Palomino Lane: a Publix 1.3 route miles from the main gate, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve's boardwalk 1.8 miles away, two spring training ballparks within 4.3 miles, and Bell Tower, Gulf Coast Town Center and Miromar Outlets between 5.2 and 9.8 miles.

The Renaissance sits at one of the busiest crossroads in south Fort Myers, beside I-75 Exit 131 and a few minutes from the airport, so everyday errands are close while the gates keep through traffic out. Distances are route miles from the main entrance on Palomino Lane on a free-flow road model; the second connection at Mall Loop Road shortens trips south and east.

Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, 1.8 miles away

Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve is the nearest large public natural area, 1.8 route miles from the main gate on Penzance Boulevard. Lee County's page describes a 1.2-mile elevated, fully accessible boardwalk with five observation decks and an Interpretive Center; parking is $1 an hour, up to $5 a day (Lee County Parks, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, read October 2026). The Friends of Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve run guided walks through the season (Friends of Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve). The slough is the same wetland system the CDD's preserves border, which is why it shows up on the community's northwest edge in the flood maps.

Errands on the Daniels and Palomino corridor

The everyday cluster sits around the Daniels Parkway and Palomino Lane intersection and the I-75 interchange: a Publix on Fiddlesticks Boulevard 1.3 route miles from the main gate, with coffee, pharmacies, fuel and quick-service restaurants in the same cluster, and a Whole Foods Market on Daniels Parkway 3.5 miles west. Larger-format stores sit at The Forum to the north and at Gulf Coast Town Center to the south. For a household that drives to errands, the practical reading is that most weekly stops are within a few minutes of either gate.

Bell Tower, Gulf Coast Town Center and Miromar Outlets

Three shopping and dining centers cover most of what the corridor does not. Bell Tower, an open-air center with restaurants, a cinema and specialty stores, is 5.2 route miles away (Bell Tower). Gulf Coast Town Center, 6.6 miles south off I-75, holds the big-box anchors, a cinema and a long list of restaurants (Gulf Coast Town Center). Miromar Outlets in Estero is 9.8 miles away. Coconut Point in Estero is 13.7 miles.

Spring training on both sides: Hammond Stadium and JetBlue Park

The Renaissance sits between the two spring training homes in Lee County. JetBlue Park, the Boston Red Sox complex, is 4.0 route miles away, and Hammond Stadium at Lee Health Sports Complex, the Minnesota Twins complex, is 4.3 miles away (Boston Red Sox, JetBlue Park; Minnesota Twins, Lee Health Sports Complex). For 2027 the Twins open their home schedule on February 19, 2027, and each club has 15 home games (Twins 2027 spring training schedule; NESN, Red Sox 2027 schedule). The Fort Myers Mighty Mussels play their minor league season at Hammond Stadium through the summer (Fort Myers Mighty Mussels).

Parks, libraries and farmers markets

Lakes Park, a large county park with a lake, gardens, a splash pad and a miniature train, is 7.3 route miles away and hosts the Lakes Park Farmers Market on Wednesdays from October to May (Lee County Parks, Lakes Park; Buy Local Lee). Lakes Regional Library on Bass Road is 9.0 miles away (Lee County Library System, Lakes Regional Library). John Yarbrough Linear Park, a paved multi-use trail along Six Mile Cypress Parkway, gives cyclists and walkers a long off-road route close by.

Arts and culture: Barbara B. Mann Hall and the Edison and Ford Winter Estates

Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall, on the Florida SouthWestern State College campus off College Parkway, hosts the touring Broadway series and major concerts (Barbara B. Mann Performing Arts Hall). The Edison and Ford Winter Estates, the winter homes, gardens and laboratory of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford on McGregor Boulevard, sit near downtown Fort Myers, 12.7 route miles away (Edison and Ford Winter Estates). The Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium and the downtown River District round out the list (Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium).

FGCU and Florida SouthWestern State College

Florida Gulf Coast University is 8.6 route miles from the main gate, with its campus off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway and its Division I athletics (Florida Gulf Coast University, About). Florida SouthWestern State College's Thomas Edison Campus on College Parkway, home of Barbara B. Mann Hall, is closer to the north (Florida SouthWestern State College, About). Both run public lectures, performances and continuing education open to the community.

How Do Hurricanes Affect The Renaissance?

Hurricanes reach The Renaissance mainly as wind and rain rather than surge: the whole community sits in Lee County Evacuation Zone D, which the county calls one of its least vulnerable zones, and neither the Ian nor the Milton evacuation order covered Zone D on the records we read. Homes are built to a 160 mph design wind speed.

That is the record at the county and federal level. What follows is each piece of it, from the evacuation map to the storm record at the nearest weather station, with the dates the layers were read (October 21, 2026). It is not a forecast, and it is not a promise about any future storm.

Evacuation Zone D

Lee County places the whole community in Evacuation Zone D, surge zone 4 (Lee County GIS, Evacuation Zones). The county's own Zone D sheet calls it "one of our least vulnerable Evacuation Zones", names "Wind, including tornados" as "the most significant danger in Zone D", warns that "heavy rains can flood homes and roads", and says "Zone D will be one of the last areas evacuated" (Lee County Emergency Management, Zone D). Lee County evacuates by zone in phases, and its Know Your Zone page is where the order for any storm is posted (Lee County, Know Your Zone).

The county surge layer: Category 4 and 5 bands

The county's storm surge layer shows how strong a storm would have to be before surge could reach a given point. Of the 430 address points inside the boundary, 401 fall in the Category 4 band and 29, mostly on Villagio Way, fall in the Category 5 band (Lee County GIS, Storm Surge). These are address points on a planning model, not a count of homes and not a prediction. They place The Renaissance among the inland, higher-ground parts of south Fort Myers, which is consistent with its Zone D status.

Orders in Ian and Milton

For Hurricane Ian in September 2022, Lee County's order of September 27, 2022 covered Zone A, Zone B, mobile homes and parts of Zone C (City of Bonita Springs posting of the county order). For Hurricane Milton in October 2024, the National Weather Service's county narrative records evacuation orders for Zones A and B in Lee County (NWS Tampa Bay, Milton impact narratives). Neither order, as worded, covered Zone D. Owners still prepared for wind and power loss in both storms, and a future order can reach Zone D in a larger or differently tracking storm.

What the storm record says, Charley to Milton

The nearest official weather station is Southwest Florida International Airport. The National Hurricane Center's reports give these peak gusts there:

Charley struck during the first build-out, Irma struck a largely built community, and Ian and Milton struck the finished one (NHC, Ian report). No county, National Weather Service, FEMA or news-of-record document we read names damage to Renaissance homes. That is a statement about the public record, not a claim that no home was ever damaged: a buyer's inspection, the seller's disclosure and the home's permit history are the documents that speak for a specific house.

What the CDD's audits show after Ian

The CDD's own audited statements show the storm's cost to the common infrastructure. Its fiscal 2023 audit, the Ian year, records hurricane repair spending and $69,675 of insurance proceeds; its fiscal 2024 audit records $20,599 of insurance proceeds as hurricane repair spending fell (Renaissance CDD, FY 2023 audit, Auditor General copy; FY 2024 audit, Auditor General copy). Lake bank erosion has stayed on the CDD's work list since, and the club owner separately reported its own storm costs to the course and clubhouse, described in the golf section.

Design wind speed and the debris region

Lee County's permitting layer puts the whole community at a 160 mph ultimate design wind speed for Risk Category II buildings, which covers homes, and inside the Florida Building Code's wind-borne debris region (Lee County GIS, Design Wind Speed Zones). Homes here were built from 2003 to 2024, almost all under the statewide Florida Building Code (our reading of the year-built range), so the code edition that applies to a given home follows its permit date. Ask the seller which openings carry impact glass and which rely on shutters; the answer feeds straight into the wind mitigation form an insurer reads.

Shelters nearest on the county layer

Lee County's public shelter layer lists Treeline Elementary about 2.0 miles away, JetBlue Stadium about 2.4 miles away and Ray V. Pottorf Elementary about 3.1 miles away (Lee County GIS, Emergency Public Shelters). Shelters open by event, not by default; the county's open-shelter list on the day of a storm is the one to follow.

What Is the Flood Zone in The Renaissance?

Every home and condominium building in The Renaissance maps to FEMA Zone X, the area of minimal flood hazard, on panels 12071C0445F and 12071C0433G, checked at six interior points and across the boundary on October 21, 2026. Only a sliver of the Six Mile Cypress Slough floodplain, about 1.8 acres, touches the northwest corner, on no home.

Zone X means FEMA does not map a base flood elevation here and a federally backed mortgage does not require flood insurance on that basis alone. It does not mean water cannot pond in a heavy rain, and a lender or an insurer may still set its own rule, covered in the insurance section.

Zone X at six interior points

We checked one point in each section against FEMA's live National Flood Hazard Layer and Lee County's evacuation and surge layers on October 21, 2026:

Sources: FEMA NFHL, Flood Hazard Zones; FEMA NFHL, FIRM Panels; Lee County GIS, Evacuation Zones; Lee County GIS, Storm Surge. A whole-boundary query returned the same Zone X result for every home and condominium building. Panel 12071C0445F is one FEMA did not print because it contains no special flood hazard area.

The Six Mile Cypress Slough sliver at the northwest corner

The one regulatory floodplain that touches the community is the Six Mile Cypress Slough AE zone, with a base flood elevation of 19 feet nearby. It overlaps about 1.8 acres at the northwest corner of the county boundary polygon, and on Renaissance land it touches only a conservation buffer tract, by about 300 sq ft. No home and no address point lies in it (FEMA NFHL, Flood Hazard Zones; FEMA NFHL, Base Flood Elevations; Lee County GIS, FIRM). So the accurate statement is that every home and condominium building is in Zone X, not that no part of the community touches a flood zone.

The 2008 and 2018 panels, and the 2027 revision

The southern points sit on panel 12071C0445F, effective August 28, 2008; the northern points, Villagio Way and Vittoria Way, sit on panel 12071C0433G, effective December 7, 2018 (FEMA NFHL, FIRM Panels). There is no Letter of Map Revision, Letter of Map Amendment or low-confidence area inside the boundary (FEMA NFHL, LOMAs; FEMA NFHL, LOMRs). FEMA's pending Lee County revision, case 20-04-0036S, scheduled to take effect March 2, 2027, leaves both panels and every zone here unchanged (FEMA Preliminary NFHL; FEMA Pending NFHL).

Lee County's floor rule in Zone X

Zone X carries no base flood elevation, but Lee County still sets a floor rule for new construction and substantial improvements: "Lee County requires your livable floor in X zones to be 1 foot above the crown of the road" (Lee County DCD, flood permit applicant brochure). For a buyer planning a rebuild on one of the six vacant homesites or a major renovation, that rule and the community's architectural review set the starting floor height.

The master surface water permit

The community drains under South Florida Water Management District master surface water permit 36-04076-P, "Renaissance", covering 506.9 acres for golf and residential use, with a final action on October 11, 2001 and modifications through 2012, several filed by the CDD (SFWMD, Environmental Resource Applications). The lakes are the storage in that system, which is why the CDD's lake bank work and the maintenance easement around each lake matter to how the community handles heavy rain. The permit's design storm and control elevations are in the district's permit file, which we did not read.

Elevation certificates

Lee County's public elevation certificate layer holds no certificate for any building inside the boundary (Lee County DCD, Elevation Certificates). In Zone X an elevation certificate is not required to buy flood coverage, but it can document a home's floor height against the road and the surrounding grade. If a seller has one from a survey, ask for it; if not, a surveyor can produce one, and a flood quote can be run with and without it.

How Does Insurance Work in The Renaissance?

Insurance in The Renaissance is shaped by Zone X flood maps, a 160 mph design wind speed, roof age and the carrier: unincorporated Lee County holds Community Rating System Class 5, and Citizens requires flood coverage on every wind-covering home policy from January 1, 2027. We print no premium figures; quotes come from carriers.

Every number in this section is a rule or a threshold from a statute, a county page or an insurer's published requirement, with its date. None of it is a quote for a specific home, and no premium appears here because none was read from a primary source.

What decides a premium here

Four things move a homeowner's premium in The Renaissance more than anything else. The first is wind: the county names wind as the main hazard in Zone D, the design wind speed is 160 mph, and the wind mitigation features of the house (roof shape, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, opening protection) earn or lose credits. The second is the roof: its age and condition can decide which carriers will write the policy at all. The third is the flood choice: Zone X flood coverage is optional for most lenders but required by Citizens on more policies each year. The fourth is the product: a Triana unit owner buys a unit-owner policy and pays a share of the association's master policy through the condominium budget, while a single-family owner insures the whole structure. Get quotes during the inspection period, not after it.

Community Rating System Class 5

Unincorporated Lee County has been a Community Rating System Class 5 community since October 1, 2007, and kept that rating after FEMA's 2024 review (Lee County, FEMA Community Rating System, read October 2026; OpenFEMA, NFIP Community Status Book). Lee County says the resulting 25 percent discount on National Flood Insurance Program premiums applies to policies inside and outside the special flood hazard area, which includes Zone X homes like these. The discount comes from the county's floodplain management, not from anything an individual owner does.

Citizens and the 2026 and 2027 flood rule

Citizens Property Insurance Corporation requires flood coverage on wind-covering personal residential policies outside the special flood hazard area once Coverage A reaches $400,000 from January 1, 2026, and on all such policies from January 1, 2027; condominium unit-owner policies are exempt (Citizens, Flood insurance requirement). Two illustrations, using coverage amounts that are examples rather than estimates of any home:

• A Citizens policy covering wind on a Monteverdi home with Coverage A of $1,200,000 has needed a flood policy since January 1, 2026, because it is over the $400,000 threshold.
• A Citizens policy with Coverage A of $350,000 must carry flood coverage from January 1, 2027, when the threshold falls away.
• A Triana unit-owner (HO-6) policy is exempt from the rule.

For a buyer, the planning point is simple: if Citizens may end up as the wind carrier, price a flood policy into the budget from the start.

Roof age and insurability

Florida law says an insurer may not refuse to issue or renew a homeowner's policy solely because the roof is under 15 years old, and for an older roof an authorized inspection showing 5 or more years of useful life remaining keeps the insurer from refusing on age alone (Florida Statutes s. 627.7011). That rule matters here because of when the community was built. The county roll shows 34 single-family homes built from 2003 to 2004 and 133 from 2005 to 2009, so any of those still on an original roof is well past 15 years. Whether a given roof is original is not on the public record we read; the seller's permit history and a roof inspection answer it.

My Safe Florida Home

My Safe Florida Home offers free wind-mitigation inspections and matching grants of up to $10,000 for eligible homestead homes built before January 1, 2008 with an insured value of $700,000 or less, subject to an income test (Florida Statutes s. 215.5586; My Safe Florida Home, modified September 16, 2026). Every Villagio home was built from 2003 to 2006 and every Triana building from 2003 to 2007, so those sections clear the age test on the county roll; the insured-value cap and the income test decide the rest, and on our reading they will exclude many of the larger estate homes. The inspection alone is worth having, because it produces the mitigation report insurers use for credits.

Triana: milestone inspection and SIRS thresholds

Florida's milestone inspection law and its structural integrity reserve study requirement apply to condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more (Florida Statutes s. 553.899; Florida Statutes s. 718.112). Triana's buildings are two-story on the county's parcel layer, so on the statute text neither requirement reaches them (Lee County, Forerunner parcel layer). That is a reading of the statute, not a statement about any association's filings: whether any Triana association commissioned a reserve study voluntarily is in its budget and reserve schedule, which are not published. A Triana buyer should ask for both.

Documents to ask for

Before you close on a home in The Renaissance, ask for these, and send them to your insurance agent with the request for quotes:

• The wind mitigation inspection report on the state's uniform mitigation form, or order one.
• A four-point inspection, if the home is old enough that a carrier asks for it.
• An elevation certificate, if the seller has one; Lee County's public layer holds none here.
• The roof permit and installation date, and any window, door or shutter permits since the home was built.
• For Triana, the condominium association's master policy summary, its wind deductible and its budget and reserve schedule.
• The seller's current declarations page, which shows the coverage the home carries today.

We gather these with the CDD schedule row and the estoppel letters before we price or write an offer. Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008: call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, or call Marc at (239) 287-5873 if you are buying.

What Schools Serve The Renaissance?

The Renaissance sits wholly inside the School District of Lee County's elementary proximity Zone J, middle school Zone EE and high school South sub-zone 1 for the 2026-2027 school year. Parents rank schools within each zone on the district's Choice Application, so no single school is assigned to a Renaissance address, Triana included.

That answer comes from the district's own 2026-2027 enrollment zone data, the dataset behind the district's School Enrollment Zones tool, tested at six interior points (one on each named street) and then against the whole community boundary (School District of Lee County, SchoolProximityZones_2627 zone service; School District of Lee County, School Zones, both read October 21, 2026). Every point and the full polygon returned one zone at each level. The Renaissance is in School Board member district 2 (Lee County GIS, School Board Districts layer). Before you write a contract that depends on a school, confirm the address with the district's Student Enrollment office, by email at [email protected], because zones are redrawn by the School Board and the record we read is for one school year only.

Zones J, EE and South sub-zone 1

Lee County does not run a fixed attendance boundary for each school. It runs a choice plan with proximity zones, and a Renaissance household chooses among a short list of schools in each zone. For 2026-2027 the lists are:

• Elementary, proximity Zone J: Colonial, Gateway, Ray V. Pottorf and Treeline elementary schools.
• Middle, Zone EE: Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle and Fort Myers Middle.
• High school, South sub-zone 1 (S1): Cypress Lake High, Dunbar High, Fort Myers High and South Fort Myers High.

Those lists come from the district's Student Enrollment Plan 2026-2027 (sections III, IV and V, read October 21, 2026). We write "zone" on purpose. A listing remark that says a Renaissance home is "zoned for" one named school is not how the Lee County plan works, and it is the kind of line that creates a problem after closing when a choice application lands somewhere else. If you are weighing The Renaissance against a community across Daniels Parkway, run that community's address through the same district tool: zone lists change from one side of a boundary to the other.

How Lee County school choice works

Under the 2026-2027 plan, parents and guardians rank the schools in their zone on the Choice Application, and the district places students by its published preferences and seat availability. If no application is submitted, the plan says one is "submitted automatically by FOCUS," the district's student system. Three rules decide most outcomes for a Renaissance address:

• Bus eligibility follows the zone. The plan says elementary students "will only receive transportation for elementary schools within the residential choice proximity zone in which they reside," and middle school transportation is "provided only if school is within the student's Middle School Proximity Zone."
• The P1 band is the exception. Students who live in a school's closest proximity band, which the plan calls P1, get a proximity preference for that school but no district bus. Whether any Renaissance street falls inside Treeline Elementary's P1 band is not on any record we read; the deciding document is the district's P1 walking map or a Transportation Department eligibility ruling. The road route from the gates to Treeline crosses I-75, which makes a P1 designation look unlikely, but that is our reading, not the district's ruling.
• High school choice reaches the next sub-zone. The plan lets a student "select from among the schools in the sub-zone in which he or she resides and in any contiguous sub-zone within the same zone." A school chosen that way may carry no bus.

Magnet and program applications run on their own calendar; the plan says the open enrollment period begins in "mid-January." The 2027-2028 Choice Application window dates were not published on the documents we read.

The elementary schools

The four Zone J elementary schools, with the Florida Department of Education's 2026 school grades, read from the state's grade file on October 21, 2026 (FLDOE, School Grades 2026, read through a parser because the host refuses scripted requests):

Three of the four Zone J elementary schools earned a B in 2026 and Colonial earned a C. Treeline Elementary is also one of the county's public storm shelters, a separate role covered in the storm section. Each school publishes its own calendar, bell times and before and after care details on its site; the district says all elementary schools now offer before and after school care at a uniform cost across Lee County, and buses do not route stops to private after-care facilities.

The middle schools

Zone EE carries two middle schools. Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle earned a B from FLDOE in 2026 and Fort Myers Middle a C. The spelling matters when you search: FLDOE and the district write "Paul Laurence Dunbar," while one county GIS layer spells it differently, and the county layer also calls Fort Myers Middle an "Academy." The plan's transportation sentence means a middle school chosen outside Zone EE, for a program or any other reason, would carry no district bus. That is our reading of the plan; the district's Student Enrollment office gives the binding answer for a specific student.

The high schools and district buses

South sub-zone 1 lists four high schools, and the district's 2026-2027 transportation table shows all four running buses for S1 students (School District of Lee County, Transportation Optimization, read October 21, 2026). Cypress Lake High and Fort Myers High each earned an A in 2026, and the district's July 2026 release says both "improved to an 'A' from a 'B'" (School District of Lee County, 2025-2026 School Grades Report). Dunbar High and South Fort Myers High each earned a C.

The district's two documents do not line up perfectly. The plan text describes three sub-zones per zone, while the transportation table names more, and the table labels South Fort Myers High with a different sub-zone than the plan's S1 list. We print what both records agree on: the four S1 schools, and that each one buses S1 on the 2026-27 table. A student who uses the contiguous sub-zone rule to choose Estero High or Bonita Springs High would, on the same table, provide their own transportation. The district says it plainly: "Students living outside of the listed Subzones will not have busing provided but can attend the school with the understanding they must provide their own transportation."

IB, Cambridge and arts programs reachable from S1

The 2026-2027 plan places International Baccalaureate programs at Dunbar High and Fort Myers High, Cambridge programs at Cypress Lake High and South Fort Myers High, and an arts program at Cypress Lake High, so all three program types sit inside the S1 list a Renaissance student ranks (Student Enrollment Plan 2026-2027, section V.B.3). Program seats are applied for separately from the zone choice, students commit to the program for multiple semesters, and the application window opens in mid-January. The plan also notes that a student who moves between zones inside Lee County is not treated as a "new" student for late program entry, which matters if you are relocating from elsewhere in the county mid-year.

The 2026-27 grading scale change

Every grade above is a 2026 FLDOE grade, and the next round will not compare one to one. FLDOE's September 2026 overview says it raises the grading scale for the 2026-27 school year, with the high school A threshold moving up the most (FLDOE, Grading Scale Changes Overview, September 2026, read October 21, 2026). A school that slips a letter in 2027 may have earned the same share of points it earned in 2026. Lee County as a district earned a B in 2026, 2025 and 2024 (FLDOE, District Grades 2026). When you read a school grade in a listing or an article, check which year's scale it used before you compare it with another school.

Charter and private options nearby

Charter and private schools enroll through their own applications, not the district's Choice Application, and none of them is tied to a Renaissance address:

• Gateway Charter School, a charter school with elementary, intermediate and high school campuses in the Gateway area east of I-75, graded A by FLDOE in 2026 on the state file.
• Florida SouthWestern Collegiate High School, a charter high school on the Florida SouthWestern State College Lee Campus on College Parkway, graded A by FLDOE in 2026.
• Canterbury School, an independent school in Fort Myers with lower, middle and upper schools running from pre-kindergarten through high school.
• Bishop Verot Catholic High School, a Catholic high school on Sunrise Drive in Fort Myers.

For higher education, Florida Gulf Coast University is 8.6 route miles from the main gate (7.5 from the Mall Loop Road connection), and Florida SouthWestern State College runs its Lee Campus in south Fort Myers. Tuition, admission and grade-level details belong to each school; we print none of them here.

How Far Is The Renaissance From a Hospital?

The Renaissance is 4.5 route miles from Gulf Coast Medical Center, a Lee Health hospital with a Level II Trauma Center, and 4.2 route miles from the nearest Lee Health urgent care on Metro Parkway. HealthPark Medical Center and Golisano Children's Hospital are 10.0 route miles from the Palomino Lane gate.

Those distances are road routes from the main entrance at Renaissance Way and Palomino Lane, measured on OpenStreetMap roads with the open OSRM routing engine at free flow, which makes them our measurement rather than a published figure. Facility facts come from each facility's own Lee Health page, read October 21, 2026 (Lee Health, Locations). Lee Health pages refuse scripted requests, so each one was read by our research agent on that date and should be re-checked before you rely on a service line.

The measured distances

The county's own hospital layer confirms the facility locations used as end points (Lee County GIS, Hospitals layer). From the Mall Loop Road connection on the south side, the hospital and urgent care routes run a little shorter than from the main gate, because both leave toward Daniels Parkway and the hospital corridor. Those bracketed figures are not printed in this table because the connection's gate status is not on any record we read.

Gulf Coast Medical Center

Gulf Coast Medical Center is the closest full hospital to The Renaissance. Its own Lee Health page describes it as a Level II Trauma Center with 699 licensed beds and 70 emergency department beds, and as an accredited comprehensive stroke center (Lee Health, Gulf Coast Medical Center, read October 21, 2026). The drive from the main gate is 4.5 route miles. Trauma level and stroke accreditation are facility designations that can change; the hospital's page is the place to confirm them.

HealthPark and Golisano Children's Hospital

HealthPark Medical Center and Lee Health Golisano Children's Hospital share a campus 10.0 route miles from the Palomino Lane gate (Lee Health, HealthPark Medical Center). Golisano is Lee Health's children's hospital. Lee Memorial Hospital is 10.8 route miles away. For a Renaissance household, the practical reading is that the nearest trauma center is Gulf Coast, and the children's hospital is a drive to the HealthPark campus rather than a neighborhood trip.

Urgent care

The nearest urgent care on Lee Health's list is Lee Convenient Care on Metro Parkway, 4.2 route miles from the main gate. Lee Health says its Lee Convenient Care locations keep extended hours every day of the week and offer online check-in through MyChart, with wait times posted on its Find Urgent Care tool (Lee Health, Urgent Care Near Me, read October 21, 2026). Other Lee Convenient Care sites sit farther south and west. The only Lee Health pediatric urgent care on the list we read is in Naples, well outside a practical radius.

The new Lee Health Fort Myers campus

Lee Health is building a new Fort Myers hospital campus on Challenger Boulevard. Lee Health's locations list carries it as "Lee Health Fort Myers," anticipated to open in 2028, and Gulfshore Business reported the groundbreaking in January 2025 (Gulfshore Business, "Lee Health breaks ground on new Fort Myers health care campus"). The address did not geocode on the federal service we used, so we have not measured a route mile figure to it and print none. When it opens it will add another hospital option in Fort Myers.

The insurance network notice

Every Lee Health page we read on October 21, 2026 carried the same notice: beginning January 1, 2027, Lee Health hospitals and physicians will be out of network with UnitedHealthcare (Lee Health, Locations). That is a dated notice from one side of a contract negotiation, and it may change before that date. If your health plan is a UnitedHealthcare product, check your plan's network directly before you assume the hospitals in the table above are in network for you.

How Far Is The Renaissance From Everything Else?

The Renaissance is 2.7 route miles from I-75 at Exit 131 and 6.7 route miles from the Southwest Florida International Airport terminal, measured from the Palomino Lane gate. Downtown Fort Myers is 12.7 route miles north and west, Fort Myers Beach 14.7, and Naples Fifth Avenue South 33.8 to the south.

The Renaissance is in Fort Myers, but it sits at the city's southeastern edge, which is why the airport, the interstate and Gulf Coast Town Center are closer than downtown. Every distance on this section is a road route, not a straight line, and none is a drive time. Traffic on Daniels Parkway, construction at the interchange through 2028 and the season make any minute figure misleading, so we print miles only.

How to read the table

Distances are OSRM route miles on OpenStreetMap roads at free flow, from the main entrance at Renaissance Way and Palomino Lane, with the Mall Loop Road connection on the south side shown in brackets where we measured it. The Mall Loop Road figures are for orientation only: whether that connection is a staffed gate, a resident-only gate or an exit is not on any record we read (Lee County GIS, Road Centerlines).

I-75 and RSW

The interstate is the reason most buyers notice The Renaissance on a map. Exit 131 at Daniels Parkway is 2.7 route miles from the main gate and 1.6 from the Mall Loop Road connection. The Southwest Florida International Airport terminal is 6.7 route miles from the main gate. RSW handled more than 11.1 million passengers in 2025 and offers nonstop service to more than 80 destinations on 15 carriers, according to the Lee County Port Authority (Southwest Florida International Airport, read October 21, 2026; the site refuses scripted requests). The interchange itself is being rebuilt into a diverging diamond through summer 2028, covered in the next section, so the drive to Exit 131 runs through a work zone until then.

North and west: downtown Fort Myers and Cape Coral

Downtown Fort Myers and its riverfront are 12.7 route miles from the main gate. Bell Tower, the shopping center on US 41, is 5.2 route miles away. Cape Coral City Hall is 16.4 route miles, across the river. Lakes Park, a county park, is 7.3 route miles, and Lakes Regional Library is 9.0 (route miles measured by our research agent on October 11, 2026). The baseball side of the area sits close: JetBlue Park, the Red Sox spring training home, is 4.0 route miles, and Hammond Stadium at the Lee Health Sports Complex, the Twins' home, is 4.3.

South: Estero, Coconut Point, Bonita Springs and Naples

Going south, the interstate does most of the work. Gulf Coast Town Center is 6.6 route miles from the main gate, Miromar Outlets 9.8, Estero at US 41 and Corkscrew Road 12.4, and Coconut Point 13.7. Bonita Springs at I-75 Exit 116 is 17.7 route miles, and Naples Fifth Avenue South is 33.8. Florida Gulf Coast University, 8.6 route miles, sits on the same southern run. For daily errands, the closest Publix is 1.3 route miles away on Fiddlesticks Boulevard and a Whole Foods Market is 3.5 route miles on Daniels Parkway.

West: the beaches and Sanibel

The Renaissance is an inland community, and the beaches are a drive. Fort Myers Beach at Times Square is 14.7 route miles from the main gate, and the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza is 16.0. Bunche Beach, a county beach preserve on San Carlos Bay, is 13.7 route miles. The Sanibel Lighthouse at the island's eastern tip is 20.5 route miles, and Lovers Key State Park, south of Fort Myers Beach, is 27.7. Closer to home, the Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, 1.8 route miles away, runs a 1.2-mile elevated, fully accessible boardwalk with five observation decks and an Interpretive Center, and parking is $1 an hour, up to $5 a day (Lee County Parks, Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve, read October 28, 2026).

Inside the gates

The six sections do not sit the same distance from the two ways out. Vittoria Way, Villagio Way and Via Lago Way are closest to the Palomino Lane entrance, at 0.31 to 0.74 route miles. Monteverdi Way and Triana Terrace are closest to the Mall Loop Road connection, at about 0.4 route miles. These are our routed figures on the private streets as OpenStreetMap draws them, and they matter only if the Mall Loop Road connection is open to residents in the direction you need, which is not on any record we read. If the south connection matters to your daily route, ask the master association how it operates before you choose a section.

What Is Being Built Near The Renaissance?

The Renaissance sits beside an active corridor: a pending rezoning for up to 360 multifamily units beside its golf maintenance tract, the 1,234-unit Daniels Town Square entitlement across Daniels Parkway, a diverging diamond at I-75 Exit 131 through summer 2028, and the Three Oaks Parkway Extension reaching Daniels at Palomino Lane.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

Every item below comes from a county or state record: the case file, the resolution, the development order layer or the FDOT project page. Approved does not mean built, and pending does not mean approved. We state the status each record shows on the date we read it and make no claim about what any project does to Renaissance home values. Lee County's zoning case and development order layers are the place to watch for new filings (Lee County DCD, Zoning Cases layer; Lee County DCD, Development Orders layer).

The pending 360-unit rezoning beside the golf maintenance tract

Lee County case DCI2024-00042, "Daniel's Parkway Multifamily," asks to rezone about 19.48 acres at the northeast corner of Palomino Lane and Kings Crossing Road from commercial planned development (CPD) to mixed-use planned development (MPD). The request allows either up to 360 multifamily units at up to 60 feet and 4 stories, or 95,000 square feet of retail plus 80,000 square feet of office. The applicant's own filing says the adjacent Renaissance land is the golf maintenance facility and golf course, and shows 15-foot Type D buffers on that side (Lee County zoning case file index, DCI2024-00042; DCI2024-00042 additional information, March 23, 2026). The most recent filing is an extension letter filed October 15, 2026, which sets the resubmittal due date at December 18, 2026; no hearing is scheduled on the record (DCI2024-00042 extension letter). An early 2024 courtesy notice described the request differently; the 2026 documents control.

Daniels Town Square across Daniels Parkway

Daniels Town Square is an approved mixed-use planned development about 0.16 mile south of The Renaissance, across Daniels Parkway. Lee County adopted Resolution Z-24-027 on December 4, 2024, entitling 1,234 dwelling units, a 200-room hotel and 30,000 square feet of commercial space, with building heights up to 90 feet on one parcel (Lee County BCC Resolution Z-24-027, Daniels Town Square MPD; case index DCI2022-00059). The resolution ties vertical development to the Three Oaks Parkway Extension, so the road comes first. An entitlement is a ceiling, not a construction schedule: the record shows what may be built, not when.

Treeline 115 and the Springs at Daniels

East of I-75, the Treeline 115 planned development holds a development order for 376 rental units, recorded on the county's development order and zoning case layers (Lee County DCD, Development Orders layer; Lee County DCD, Zoning Cases layer). At the southwest edge of The Renaissance, the Springs at Daniels Parkway multifamily community is already built and operating (Springs at Daniels Parkway, operator page, address and building type only). Both are part of the rental housing wave on the Daniels and Treeline corridors that a buyer will see on the drive in.

The I-75 and Daniels diverging diamond

FDOT project 446296-2 is converting the I-75 interchange at Daniels Parkway, Exit 131, into a diverging diamond interchange. FDOT puts the cost at about $42.8 million, with construction from early 2026 and completion in summer 2028 (FDOT District One, project 446296-2, page updated October 16, 2026). WGCU reported the start of work in January 2026 (WGCU, "Diverging diamond project gets started along Daniels by I-75"). For a Renaissance owner the trade is plain: lane shifts at the exit closest to the gates until summer 2028, then a rebuilt interchange.

Three Oaks Parkway reaches Daniels

Lee County project 204053, the Three Oaks Parkway Extension, carries Three Oaks Parkway north to Daniels Parkway at the Palomino Lane and Fiddlesticks Boulevard alignment and widens Daniels to eight lanes at that intersection. The county's major road program lists a project total of $143,449,008 (Lee County DOT, Summary of Major Road Projects FY25/26 to FY29/30, read by our research agent; the county host refuses scripted requests; WGCU, "Improvement planned for several Lee County roads"). Palomino Lane is the road the main gate opens onto, so the new intersection at its south end changes how Renaissance traffic reaches Daniels, and it is also the road that Daniels Town Square's vertical development waits on.

Traffic on Daniels and Palomino

FDOT's annual average daily traffic counts show steady growth on the roads around the gates (FDOT Florida Traffic Online, AADT layer):

Palomino Lane, the road outside the main gate, carries a fraction of the Daniels volume. Daniels Parkway west of I-75 is one of the busier arterials in south Lee County, and the interstate south of Exit 131 carries 129,200 vehicles a day on the 2025 count.

The City of Fort Myers edge and recent annexations

The Renaissance is unincorporated Lee County, but the City of Fort Myers limit touches its edge on the north and northwest, through the 2002 Parker Daniels annexation and the 1997 Burford annexation (Lee County GIS, Boundaries MapServer, City Limits and Annexations layers). The city has kept annexing tracts east of I-75, and new rental and commercial projects there increasingly fall under city rules rather than the county's. No annexation of The Renaissance itself appears on any record we read. For an owner, the practical effect is that the community's own zoning, tax district and services stay county ones (tax district 047, South Trail Fire District, the unincorporated MSTU), while some neighbors' projects are reviewed by a different government.

Inside the gates: the lake bank restoration and the clubhouse lodging approval

Two inside-the-gates records are worth knowing. Lee County issued development order LDO2023-00067, "Renaissance CDD Lakes Restoration," on March 13, 2026, "to repair the lake banks within Renaissance CDD on a lake by lake basis" (Lee County DCD, Development Orders layer); the CDD's fiscal 2027 budget carries the lake bank work as a capital item (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027). And a 2020 county administrative amendment, ADD2020-00027, allowed a clubhouse "rooming house" of at most eight double-occupancy suites, limited to "members and guests of the Renaissance Golf Club," with public occupancy prohibited (Lee County ADD2020-00027(A)). The development order that followed was later withdrawn, so no lodging has been built on the record.

What Are Utilities and Daily Logistics Like in The Renaissance?

The Renaissance runs on Lee County Utilities water and sewer, pays its CDD charge as one line on the Lee County tax bill, sits in Lee County Solid Waste Area 3, and is reached on private, gated streets. No airport noise zone covers it. Gate hours and guest rules are not published on any record we read.

Most of these answers come from county service layers checked at sample points inside the boundary, and from the CDD's own assessment page. Where the record is silent, we say so; the estoppel package and the master association's own rules are where a buyer fills those gaps before closing.

Water and sewer

Every sample point inside The Renaissance falls in the Lee County Utilities water and wastewater service areas, served from the county's Corkscrew water treatment plant (Lee County Utilities, service area layers). One Triana record adds a wrinkle: Triana IV's condominium documents were amended in December 2006 so that water and sewer are individually metered rather than a common expense; for Triana I to III we found no equivalent record, so a Triana buyer should ask the condominium association how water is billed.

The tax bill and its CDD line

The Renaissance Community Development District's charge is one combined line on the Lee County tax bill, collected by the Tax Collector from November 1. The district's maintenance assessment for fiscal 2027 is $1,251.10 per home, and the debt piece varies by product, as the fee stack section shows. The debt piece may be prepaid through an estoppel letter, for a $150 fee, but prepayment does not remove the maintenance piece and cannot be reversed (Renaissance CDD, Assessments, read October 21, 2026). Every sample point carries Lee County tax district 047 and the CDD's non-ad valorem authority (Lee County GIS, Taxing Authorities layer).

Trash and solid waste

The Renaissance is in Lee County Solid Waste Service Area 3, and the county's adopted single-family rate for fiscal 2025-26 is $366.39 a year (Lee County Solid Waste, Adopted Solid Waste Rates, read by our research agent; the county host refuses scripted requests). The fiscal 2026-27 rate was not found, and the condominium rate for Triana was not confirmed on the record we read.

The gate and guests

The guardhouse belongs to the Renaissance Community Association; the CDD's January 2026 minutes call it the "HOA-owned guardhouse," and the master association provides the gatehouse personnel (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Minutes, January 12, 2026). The CDD does not run the gate. Gate hours, guest and vendor procedures, and any transponder or visitor system are not published in any document we could reach, and the operating status of the Mall Loop Road connection on the south side is not on any record we read. Ask the master association for its access rules in writing during the inspection period.

Private streets and who maintains them

Every internal street in The Renaissance, Renaissance Way, Terabella Way and Place, Vittoria Way and Court, Villagio Way, Monteverdi Way, Via Lago Way and Triana Terrace, is coded privately maintained on the county road centerline layer (Lee County GIS, Road Centerlines). Under the 2002 Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs, the club maintains the main entry and spine road landscaping, lighting and signage, and the master association shares those costs (Declaration of Easements and Covenant to Share Costs, April 29, 2002, recorded copy posted by the club owner). Who owns the residential street pavement itself is not on any record we read. The parties have disputed shared road, entrance and gate costs since 2024; we state that as a dated fact and take no side.

Airport noise

Southwest Florida International Airport is 6.7 route miles away, but no airport noise zone and no airspace notification buffer on Lee County's layers covers The Renaissance (Lee County DCD, Airport Noise Zones and Airspace Notification Buffers). That is a statement about the county's mapped zones, not a promise about what you will hear on a given afternoon; flight paths shift with wind and runway use, so a buyer who cares should stand on the lanai at different times of day.

How Does The Renaissance Compare With Nearby Communities?

On the same county basis, The Renaissance recorded 21 sales at a $910,000 median in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, and its single-family homes sold at a $1,420,000 median, $383.73 per heated square foot. Neighboring Paseo, Heritage Palms and Fiddlesticks all recorded lower medians per heated square foot than those homes.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis. Every row below was run through the same tool on the same county files, with the legal description match named in the table, so the rows compare with each other in a way that numbers from different portals do not. Buyers who search gated golf communities in Fort Myers often look at this cluster on the Daniels Parkway corridor together.

The benchmark table, same county basis

The 12 months are September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, Lee County recorded qualified sales. Price per square foot is per square foot of county heated area, never an MLS living-area figure. For reference only, the Southwest Florida MLS shows 21 Renaissance closings in the 12 months to October 29, 2026 (Matrix export of October 29, 2026); that is a different record and window, so it stays out of the table.

The Renaissance next to Paseo

Paseo, which shares The Renaissance's north boundary, recorded 51 sales at a $342,500 median in the same 12 months on the same county basis, a mix weighted to condominiums. Paseo's match covers 887 parcels, 746 of them condominiums, so its median describes a different product mix from The Renaissance's 249 single-family homes and 130 Triana units (county sales by our analysis). Paseo's $219.45 per heated square foot against The Renaissance's $330.74 all-residential figure shows the gap is not only mix: per foot, the county record prices The Renaissance higher. The two communities share a boundary on the Six Mile Cypress side.

The Renaissance next to Heritage Palms

Heritage Palms Golf and Country Club, about 1.4 miles away, recorded 12 single-family sales at a $727,500 median on parcels whose legal description begins HERITAGE PALMS. Its $336.57 per heated square foot sits close to The Renaissance's all-residential $330.74 but well below The Renaissance's single-family $383.73. The Heritage Palms match is 215 single-family parcels and excludes its condominium sections, so read it against The Renaissance's single-family row, not the blended one. Both are gated golf communities on the Daniels side of Fort Myers, and the edge-to-edge distance is 1.41 miles on the county Cadastre (Lee County GIS, Cadastre layer).

Other golf neighbors by distance

The county Cadastre puts several other gated communities close to The Renaissance, measured edge to edge: Marina Bay 0.09 mile, Botanica Lakes 0.45, Reflection Isles 0.49, Legends Golf and Country Club 0.72, Pelican Preserve 1.19, Heritage Palms 1.41 and Fiddlesticks Country Club 1.67 (Lee County GIS, Cadastre layer, sibling queries). Farther out, The Forest, another 33912 golf community about 4.6 miles away, rounds out the set. Distance is the only claim we make about these neighbors here; each has its own page or record for what it is.

What the comparison cannot tell you

A same-basis table answers one question well: what the county recorded as sold, at what median, on what heated area. It cannot tell you what each community's fees are (each sits on its own fee stack, and The Renaissance's master association dues are not published), what club membership costs on the other side of the fence, how long homes took to sell, or what sold for what share of its asking price. For The Renaissance those two MLS measures are in the market section: a median 149 days on market and 93.42 percent of the final list price over the 12 months to October 29, 2026. It also cannot capture condition. A 2004 Villagio home and a 2020 Via Lago home both count as one single-family sale. Use the table to place The Renaissance in its corridor, then use the section and street figures in the market section to price a specific home.

The Renaissance vs Fiddlesticks Country Club: Which Golf Community Is Right for You?

The Renaissance and Fiddlesticks Country Club are both gated private golf communities in ZIP 33912, about 1.7 miles apart across Daniels Parkway. The Renaissance has one Arthur Hills course and an owner-operated club with optional golf, plus a CDD line; Fiddlesticks has 36 holes inside a member-owned equity club with no CDD.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

Fiddlesticks Country Club, about 1.7 miles to the south across Daniels Parkway, is the golf community buyers most often weigh against The Renaissance. Every Fiddlesticks figure below comes from our own Fiddlesticks page (byline September 2026) or from the county benchmark run on the same files as The Renaissance. Source for the county rows: Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis. The two sides use two different sales records, so read each row against its own label.

The decision table

Renaissance sources: the Lee County roll and recorded sales by our analysis; Lee County Ordinance 01-10 for the acreage; The Club at Renaissance 2026 Membership booklet for club pricing; the Renaissance CDD FY 2027 Adopted Budget for the district line; FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer for the flood zone.

Club structure: owner-operated versus member-owned equity

The biggest structural difference is who owns the club. The Club at Renaissance is privately owned and operated by Concert Renaissance, LLC, an affiliate of Concert Golf Partners, which bought it from the developer on September 22, 2022; it is not owned by the residents, the master association or the CDD (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story). Initiation is stated as non-refundable, and members do not own a share of the club. Fiddlesticks, by our Fiddlesticks page, is a member-owned equity club whose club corporation is also the community association. In practice, a Renaissance member joins a club whose owner publishes the dues and membership terms; a Fiddlesticks member, by our page, holds membership in a member-owned club that is also the community association.

Joining and dues, side by side

Each side's figures come from its own source and are not on the same basis. For The Renaissance, the club's 2026 booklet says community (social) membership "is included with a Renaissance Real Estate purchase," with resident social dues of $5,050 a year; Full Golf, for ages 45 to 75 and capped at 225 members, carries a $90,000 one-time, non-refundable initiation and $14,760 in resident dues, all before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax (2026 Membership booklet). Executive Golf, for 44 and under, is $50,000 initiation and $12,050 dues. Whether social dues are compulsory on every lot by covenant is not on any record we read. For Fiddlesticks, our page lists a $115,000 joining fee and about $2,180 a month across its dues lines, with membership mandatory. Add the CDD line on the Renaissance side before you compare totals.

Golf: one course plus The 54, or 36 holes with one under reconstruction

The Renaissance has one 18-hole Arthur Hills course, opened in 2003, par 72, rated 75.6 with a 147 slope for men from the Championship tees on the FSGA record, near the top of the USGA slope scale, plus "The 54," an integrated 18-hole par-3 layout woven through the main course (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story; FSGA rating). Fiddlesticks has 36 holes on two Ron Garl courses, and our Fiddlesticks page reports that the Long Mean closed March 1, 2026 for a $10 million reconstruction. The choice is depth of one demanding championship layout with a short-course option against variety across two full courses.

The CDD line versus no CDD

Every Renaissance home pays a Renaissance Community Development District line on the Lee County tax bill. In fiscal 2027 that line runs from $1,406.77 to $6,788.51 depending on the product row assigned to the lot, combining the $1,251.10 maintenance assessment with a debt piece that ends with the final bond payment on May 1, 2037; the maintenance piece continues after that (Renaissance CDD, Assessments). Fiddlesticks, by our page, has no CDD. That does not make one cheaper overall: Fiddlesticks owners carry the club's dues lines on our page, and Renaissance owners carry the CDD plus a master association assessment that is not published. Compare the full stack for a specific home, not one line.

Price and evidence: two different records (never like for like)

On the county record, by our analysis, The Renaissance's 13 single-family sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 recorded a $1,420,000 median at $383.73 per heated square foot, and the 30 Fiddlesticks single-family sales on parcels whose legal description contains FIDDLESTICKS recorded an $850,000 median at $242.37. Those two rows are like for like: same tool, same files, same window. Our Fiddlesticks page also reports an MLS estate segment of 26 sales at an $837,500 median, 92.45 percent of list and 46 median days on market for September 2026. That is an MLS figure on a different segment and a different living-area basis, and it is never set against the Renaissance county median. On the MLS side, The Renaissance's 14 single-family closings in the 12 months to October 29, 2026 took a median 203.5 days on market at 93.73 percent of the final list price (Matrix export of October 29, 2026). The two MLS rows cover different windows and segments, so read them side by side, never as a difference.

Which one fits which buyer

Read in product and cost terms, the choice comes down to a few clear trades. The Renaissance offers a single 18-hole Arthur Hills course rated at a 147 slope from the Championship tees, a par-3 layout, an owner-operated club where golf is a separate, optional tier with its own initiation, and a CDD line on the tax bill that you can price by lot today. Fiddlesticks offers 36 holes inside a mandatory equity club with no CDD and a larger joining fee, with one course under reconstruction in 2026. On the same county basis, The Renaissance's single-family homes recorded a higher price per heated square foot. A buyer who wants a member-owned equity membership and two courses is weighing Fiddlesticks; a buyer who wants golf as an option on top of a social membership, in a community of six distinct product sections, is weighing The Renaissance. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to walk both, or Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 if you own in either one and are thinking of selling.

What Are the Pros and Cons of The Renaissance?

The Renaissance's strengths are one high-slope Arthur Hills course, six distinct home sections from Triana coach homes to Terabella estates, Zone X flood mapping and quick I-75 access. Its trade-offs are unpublished association dues, a CDD line to 2037, club and district disputes on the record, and construction and rezoning around its edges.

We built this list only from the records cited across this page. Each pro and each con is a fact a buyer can check, not a verdict on the community, the club, the CDD or the master association. Different buyers will weigh the same fact in opposite directions: a CDD line published by product is a pro for a buyer who wants to price the fee stack today, and a con for a buyer who wants no special district at all.

Pros

• One 18-hole Arthur Hills course with a high slope. Par 72, rated 75.6 with a 147 slope for men from the Championship tees, near the top of the USGA scale of 55 to 155, plus The 54 par-3 layout (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story; FSGA).
• 385 homesites on about 507 acres, with preserves. The CDD maintaining about 160 acres of protected preserves and the stormwater lakes (Renaissance CDD, Services).
• Six distinct product tiers. Triana coach-home condominiums, Villagio's detached villas, Monteverdi, Vittoria, Via Lago and the Terabella estate lots, each with its own lot size and price band on the county record.
• Zone X with unchanged 2027 panels. Every home and condominium building maps to FEMA Zone X, and the pending Lee County map revision scheduled for March 2, 2027 leaves both panels unchanged (FEMA NFHL).
• 2.7 route miles to I-75 and 6.7 to RSW. Measured from the Palomino Lane gate.
• CDD charges published by product. The fiscal 2027 adopted budget lists every product row, from $1,406.77 to $6,788.51 (Renaissance CDD, Adopted Budget FY 2027).
• The club states no special assessments and no food and beverage minimum. That is the club's stated 2026 policy, not a covenant (2026 Membership booklet).

Cons

• Disputes on the record since 2023. Concert Renaissance LLC's suit against the CDD, filed October 2023, settled and was dismissed in June 2025; Lee County's hearing examiner found no zoning violation in four code cases on June 23, 2025; and a breach of contract suit by the club owner against the master association, e-filed the same day, was described in February 2026 as moving toward settlement, with the outcome not found (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Minutes, February 9, 2026; Lee County Hearing Examiner orders). We state the dates and take no side.
• Master association and Triana dues are unpublished. The estoppel certificate is where a buyer learns them.
• Resident club dues of $5,050 a year, with whether they are compulsory by covenant not on any record we read.
• A CDD debt line to May 2037, plus a maintenance assessment that continues after the bonds are paid.
• A pending 360-unit rezoning on Palomino Lane beside the golf maintenance tract, and the approved 1,234-unit Daniels Town Square across Daniels Parkway.
• Construction on Daniels through 2028, at the Exit 131 diverging diamond and the Three Oaks Parkway intersection.
• The CDD maintenance methodology is under review. A new methodology is under study on the October 12, 2026 agenda, and whether the golf parcels pay maintenance again from fiscal 2028 is open (Renaissance CDD, Meeting Agenda, October 12, 2026).

How the list lands for a buyer

The pros in The Renaissance are physical and durable: the course, the acreage and preserves, the flood mapping, the interstate access and the range of product. The cons are mostly paperwork and process: unpublished dues, a club whose social dues status is not settled on the record we read, a district methodology under review, open litigation between the club owner and the master association, and a busy road program at the edges. Paperwork cons are the kind a buyer resolves before closing, by ordering the master and Triana estoppel certificates, the CDD's schedule row and payoff letter for the lot, the club's current membership terms in writing, and the latest county case file on DCI2024-00042. When we represent a buyer here, that is the packet we assemble before the inspection period ends, so the decision rests on documents rather than on a listing remark.

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

If you're searching for the best Renaissance listing agent, or thinking, 'I need to sell my house in The Renaissance...', start with the record: 21 recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, a $910,000 median, and six sections that each trade as their own market. McGreevy and Comisar price every listing here from that record.

Data updated: October 2026 (Lee County recorded sales through September 25, 2026; roll dated October 4, 2026).

Selling in The Renaissance is not one job but six. Terabella and Vittoria hold the estate homes, Monteverdi lines the course, Villagio's detached villas sit on the smallest lots, Via Lago has its own 2005 plat and the newest homes, and Triana I to IV is 130 condominium units in two-story buildings. Each section carries its own row on the CDD schedule, so the district line on the tax bill runs from $1,406.77 to $6,788.51 in fiscal year 2027 depending on the home (Renaissance CDD FY 2027 Adopted Budget). A buyer will also ask what the club costs, who owns it and what the association charges, and the association does not publish that last number. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar put those answers in front of a buyer before the buyer has to ask, and they price from the Lee County record rather than from a portal estimate.

The Renaissance, last 12 months (Lee County record): In the last 12 months we tracked 21 closings in The Renaissance in the Lee County record at a $910,000 median, from $430,000 to $2,330,000. Single-family homes accounted for 13 of them at a $1,420,000 median. Triana condominiums recorded 8 sales in the 12 months, fewer than 10, so we read them over 24 months: 10 sales at a $506,000 median. None of the 21 were builder-direct (an estimate). In the Southwest Florida MLS, the 21 closings in the 12 months to October 29, 2026 took a median 149 days on market at a median 93.42 percent of the final list price (Matrix export of October 29, 2026).

Renaissance sales in the last 12 months

Lee County recorded 21 qualified sales in The Renaissance in the 12 months to September 25, 2026 (2025-09-26 to 2026-09-25). The median was $910,000, the lowest sale $430,000 and the highest $2,330,000, and the 21 sales carried $22,916,890 in recorded dollar volume. Every one was a resale; the tool counted no builder-direct closings (an estimate). The median price per square foot of county heated area was $330.74 across all 21 sales.

By price band, 5 sales closed from $400,000 to $500,000, 2 from $500,000 to $750,000, 6 from $750,000 to $1,000,000 and 8 at $1,000,000 and up (5 + 2 + 6 + 8 = 21). All five sales in the bottom band were Triana units; the lowest single-family sale in the window was $640,000.

That mix is the first thing to understand before you price. Single-family homes recorded 13 sales at a $1,420,000 median, from $640,000 to $2,330,000, or $383.73 per square foot of county heated area. Triana recorded 8 sales in the same 12 months at a $486,000 median, a count under 10, which is why we lead with its 24-month figure of 10 sales at $506,000. The all-residential median sits far below the single-family median because 8 of the 21 sales were Triana condominiums. That is a difference in what sold, not a drop in price.

The longer windows show the same community from further back. In the 24 months to September 25, 2026 the county recorded 31 sales at a $935,000 median; in 36 months, 50 sales at $895,000; in 60 months, 115 sales at $900,000. For single-family homes alone the ladder reads 21 sales at $1,475,000 over 24 months, 28 at $1,485,000 over 36 months and 65 at $1,504,990 over 60 months. Since the first recorded sale on March 28, 2003, the county has recorded 716 qualified residential sales here. Source: Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis. Days on market, sale-to-list and active inventory come from the Southwest Florida MLS: 21 closings in the 12 months to October 29, 2026 at a median 149 days and 93.42 percent of list, with 13 active listings and 2 pending on that date (Matrix export of October 29, 2026).

A Renaissance valuation begins with four questions the public record answers. First, which section and plat is it: Plat Book 72 Block A (Terabella), Block B (Vittoria), Block C (Villagio), Block F (Monteverdi), the Phase 2A plat (Via Lago) or one of Triana I to IV? Second, what view class does the Lee County Property Appraiser give the lot: golf course, lake or neither? Third, which row of the CDD schedule does it carry, because a buyer sees that line before making an offer. Fourth, how large is it and when was it built, from 1,913 to 9,254 square feet of county heated area across the single-family homes and from 2003 to 2024 by year built. Then we adjust for finish, pool and screen cage, roof and mechanical age, and the condition a buyer will find at inspection. Roof ages and permits are not on the public record we read, so we ask you for yours.

Pricing by section: Triana, Villagio, Monteverdi, Vittoria, Via Lago and Terabella

The Renaissance is six markets inside one gate, and a single community median says little about any one home. Here is how each section traded, reading each one over the first window that reaches 10 sales and listing the sales where a count is thin (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis).

Triana. The 130 Triana units sit in 32 two-story buildings built from 2003 to 2007, with floor plans from 1,826 to 2,733 square feet of county heated area. In the 24 months to September 25, 2026 Triana recorded 10 sales at a $506,000 median, from $430,000 to $910,000, or $252.46 per heated square foot. In the 12 months alone it recorded 8 sales at a $486,000 median, a count under 10. By calendar year, 2025 brought two sales, $492,000 and $520,000, and 2026 through September 25 brought 7 at a $480,000 median. The March 24, 2026 sale at $910,000 was one Triana III unit of 2,732 heated square feet, built in 2005 and coded qualified by the appraiser; the same floor plan sold at $635,000 in May 2026 and $480,000 in July 2026, so it sits well above the other 2026 Triana sales and we never price a Triana unit from it.

Villagio. Villagio's 59 detached homes on Block C sit on the smallest lots in the community, a median of about 0.21 acre, with 1,913 to 3,138 heated square feet, all built from 2003 to 2006. Over 60 months Villagio recorded 18 sales at a $917,500 median, from $604,000 to $1,275,000, or $346.15 per heated square foot. In the 12 months, Villagio Way recorded 5 sales at a $935,000 median, from $640,000 to $1,060,000, a count under 10.

Monteverdi. Block F holds 48 homes and 4 vacant homesites, built from 2003 to 2023, with 2,556 to 5,735 heated square feet on a median lot of about 0.30 acre. In the 12 months, Monteverdi Way recorded 4 sales at a $1,462,495 median, from $900,000 to $2,295,000, a count under 10.

Vittoria. Block B holds 49 homes and 1 vacant homesite, built from 2003 to 2021, with 2,907 to 5,800 heated square feet on a median lot of about 0.36 acre. In the 12 months, Vittoria Way recorded two sales, $1,499,900 and $2,300,000.

Terabella. Block A holds 38 homes and 1 vacant homesite, built from 2003 to 2018, with heated area up to 9,254 square feet on a median lot of about 0.53 acre. In the 12 months, Terabella Way recorded one sale, at $2,330,000. The highest recorded single-family sale in the 24 months to September 25, 2026 was also on Terabella Way: $4,200,000 in October 2024 for a 2017 home of 4,691 heated square feet.

The three estate blocks together. Because each estate street is thin on its own, we also read Blocks A, B and F (Terabella, Vittoria and Monteverdi, 135 homes) as one market. Over 24 months they recorded 12 sales at a $1,502,445 median, from $890,000 to $4,200,000, or $475.97 per heated square foot. In the 12 months they recorded 7 sales at a $1,504,990 median, a count under 10. By calendar year the blocks recorded 6 sales at $2,007,500 in 2024, 5 at $1,525,000 in 2025 and 5 at $1,499,900 in 2026 through September 25.

Via Lago. The 55 Via Lago homes on the Phase 2A plat were built from 2006 to 2024, 23 of them from 2015 to 2019 and 4 since 2020, with 2,909 to 6,898 heated square feet. Over 60 months Via Lago recorded 11 sales at a $1,810,000 median, from $1,580,000 to $2,500,000, or $503.31 per heated square foot. In the 12 months it recorded one sale, at $1,590,000, a 2020 home.

What pricing by section means for you: a Villagio villa is priced against Villagio sales, never against the community median; a Terabella estate is priced against the estate blocks and its own street, never against Triana. The one-sale and two-sale rows are too thin to read as a market rate, so we list the prices instead of a median. Every per-square-foot figure here is per square foot of county heated area, a county measure that is never compared with the living area an MLS listing prints.

Golf, lake or neither: how the view class enters the price

The Lee County Property Appraiser assigns every single-family lot in The Renaissance a view class, and the split differs sharply by section (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel service, read October 11, 2026).

Monteverdi is the golf section: 43 of its 52 lots carry the golf course class. Via Lago is the lake section: 30 of its 55 lots carry the lake class. Villagio is split almost evenly between golf course lots and lots with no view class. The lakes themselves are CDD stormwater lakes, freshwater, with a lake maintenance easement of about 20 feet around each one where fences, patios and vegetation changes are not allowed (Renaissance CDD services).

We do not publish a golf or lake premium for The Renaissance, because the recorded sales are too few, section by section, to isolate one honestly. What we do instead is price your home against sales of the same section and, where they exist, the same view class, and say plainly when the comparable set is thin. A golf-course lot on Monteverdi Way is compared first with other Monteverdi golf lots; a Via Lago lake lot with other Via Lago lake lots.

What a seller pays at closing in Lee County

In Lee County the seller customarily pays the documentary stamp tax on the deed, $0.70 per $100 of the price rounded up, and the owner's title insurance policy at the state's promulgated rate: $5.75 per $1,000 up to $100,000, $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1 million and $2.50 per $1,000 above that. The purchase contract controls who pays what (Florida Department of Revenue, Documentary Stamp Tax). Here is that arithmetic at six Renaissance price points from the county record.

How a row is built, using the $910,000 sale: doc stamps are 9,100 x $0.70 = $6,370.00. The title premium is $575.00 on the first $100,000 plus $4,050.00 on the next $810,000, for $4,625.00. Title figures are estimates: rounding, reissue credits and endorsements vary by title company.

Add the association estoppel certificate, capped by Florida law (s. 720.30851 for the master association, s. 718.116 for a condominium) at $299, plus $119 if expedited and $179 more if the account is delinquent. A Triana owner may need two, one from the Renaissance Community Association and one from the Triana condominium association. If the buyer or you want the CDD debt paid off at closing, the district issues its own estoppel letter for a $150 fee (Renaissance CDD assessments). The real estate commission is negotiated between you and your broker, and we print no rate. Property taxes are prorated at closing, with the seller crediting the buyer for the seller's share of the calendar year.

The CDD line in a sale: prepaid rows and the estoppel letter

Every Renaissance home pays the Renaissance Community Development District through one combined line on the Lee County tax bill, collected by the Tax Collector from November 1. For fiscal year 2027 the operations and maintenance piece is $1,251.10 per home, and the debt piece depends on the product row the district assigned to the lot (Renaissance CDD FY 2027 Adopted Budget). The schedule row, not the section name alone, decides what the next owner pays, so we pull it before we price.

Two rows show why. A Villagio home whose owner prepaid the old Series 2012 debt carries $155.67 of debt service in FY 2027 instead of $870.16, a difference of $714.49 a year. A Via Lago home with prepaid Series 2012 debt carries $424.54 instead of $2,373.18, a difference of $1,948.64 a year. A buyer comparing two otherwise similar homes will see that gap on the tax bill, and we show it with the listing.

The rules a seller needs are short. The debt piece may be prepaid through the district's estoppel letter, which carries a $150 fee; prepayment does not remove the operations and maintenance piece, and it cannot be reversed (Renaissance CDD assessments). The debt lines have been unchanged from FY 2023 to FY 2027, and the Series 2022 refunding bonds had $4,232,881 outstanding after the May 1, 2026 payment, with the final payment due May 1, 2037 (Renaissance CDD Audit FY 2022). Paid in November, the whole tax bill, CDD line included, earns the statutory 4 percent early-payment discount. A new operations and maintenance methodology was on the district's October 12, 2026 agenda, and whether the golf parcels pay operations and maintenance again from FY 2028 is open (CDD meeting agenda, October 12, 2026).

The club question buyers will ask

Nearly every buyer in The Renaissance asks about The Club at Renaissance, so a listing file should carry the club's own terms. The club is privately owned and operated by Concert Renaissance, LLC, an affiliate of Concert Golf Partners, since September 22, 2022 (The Club at Renaissance). Its 2026 membership booklet says community (social) membership "is included with a Renaissance Real Estate purchase," with resident social dues of $5,050 a year. Golf is a separate category: Full Golf (ages 45 to 75, capped at 225) carries a $90,000 one-time, non-refundable initiation and $14,760 in resident dues; Executive Golf (44 and under, capped at 25) carries $50,000 and $12,050. The booklet adds a $2,400 annual cart trail fee, a $32 member cart fee per round, no food and beverage minimum and no special assessments, all before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax (2026 membership booklet with pricing).

Three things are not on any record we read, and a buyer's agent will ask about each. Whether the resident social dues are compulsory by covenant on every lot is not stated in any document we read, because the Declaration's text was not available to us. Whether golf dues replace or add to the social dues is not stated in the booklet. And whether a seller's golf membership transfers to the buyer, or whether a waitlist applies under the category caps, is not published. Before we list, we ask the club for its current membership agreement and terms in writing and put them in the file, so the buyer reads the club's own words rather than ours.

Disclosures a Renaissance seller should prepare

Two Florida statutes frame the paperwork in The Renaissance. Section 190.048 requires a CDD disclosure in the contract for the initial sale of a parcel in a community development district (Florida Statutes s. 190.048). Section 720.401 requires the homeowners association disclosure summary for a parcel subject to association membership (Florida Statutes s. 720.401). Your contract and closing agent set which forms your sale uses; our job is to have the facts behind them ready.

Before we list, we gather your most recent Lee County tax bill, which shows the CDD line and its product row; the master association's contact for the estoppel certificate, and for a Triana unit the condominium association's as well; your closing papers from your purchase; any architectural approvals for a pool, screen cage, generator or shutters; roof and mechanical records; and the club's current membership terms. We add the flood file from day one: every home and condominium building maps to FEMA Zone X on panels 12071C0445F and 12071C0433G (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer), and Lee County holds no elevation certificate for any building inside the boundary on its public layer, so an elevation certificate, if a buyer's insurer wants one, comes from a surveyor (Lee County elevation certificates layer).

How we market a Renaissance listing

We market a Renaissance home on the facts a buyer here transacts on. The listing names the section and plat correctly, states the appraiser's view class, shows the FY 2027 CDD total for the lot's row, attaches the club's own 2026 terms as the club's document, and states the flood and storm record: FEMA Zone X, Lee County Evacuation Zone D and a 160 mph design wind speed (Lee County design wind speed zones). We tell buyers about work at the edges before they hear it elsewhere, such as the I-75 and Daniels Parkway diverging diamond interchange under construction through summer 2028 (FDOT project 446296-2). For luxury sellers we add cinematic video, drone, professional photography, our qualified-buyer database, and discretion and off-market capability when it is needed.

What do I need before we list? Your latest Lee County tax bill, your purchase closing papers, any architectural approvals and, for a Triana unit, the condominium association's documents. Will the gate slow showings? The guardhouse belongs to the master association, which provides gatehouse personnel, and every interior street is private, so we register each showing in advance. Do buyers see the CDD line? Yes, it is on the public tax bill, so we show it up front. Will the $910,000 Triana sale set my price? No; we price a Triana unit from the 24-month Triana sales, never from that one sale. How do I know what my home is worth? Ask for a free home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. What about the club? We request the club's current membership agreement in writing and put it in the listing file.

The Renaissance Frequently Asked Questions: Buyer Edition

The Renaissance buyers ask about the gate, the six sections, the club, the CDD and association fees, flood maps, schools and distances. Each answer below repeats a fact stated in the body of this guide with the same source: the Lee County record, the CDD's adopted budget, the club's own 2026 booklet, FEMA and the School District of Lee County.

What is The Renaissance in Fort Myers?

The Renaissance is a gated, master-planned golf community in unincorporated Lee County with a Fort Myers mailing address, ZIP 33912. The county roll dated October 4, 2026 counts 385 homesites: 249 single-family homes, 130 Triana condominium units and 6 vacant homesites, set around The Club at Renaissance and its Arthur Hills course (Lee County taxing authorities layer).

Where is The Renaissance located?

The Renaissance lies north of Daniels Parkway and west of I-75 in south Fort Myers. Palomino Lane runs along its west side, and Penzance Boulevard and the Six Mile Cypress preserves sit to the north. The CDD describes the boundary as access off Daniels Parkway to the south, I-75 frontage to the east, Palomino Lane to the west and the preserves to the north (Renaissance CDD).

Is The Renaissance in the City of Fort Myers or unincorporated Lee County?

The Renaissance is in unincorporated Lee County, not the City of Fort Myers, although its mailing address is Fort Myers. The city limit touches the community's edge on the north and northwest through the 2002 Parker Daniels and 1997 Burford annexations, but The Renaissance itself is unincorporated and sits in Lee tax district 047 (Lee County boundaries service).

Where is the entrance to The Renaissance?

The main entrance is Renaissance Way at Palomino Lane, a divided private entry road about 1.1 route miles north of the Daniels Parkway and Palomino Lane signal. A second private connection runs from Renaissance Way south to county-maintained Mall Loop Road beside Daniels Parkway; whether it is a staffed, resident-only or exit-only gate is not on any record we read (Lee County road centerlines).

Is The Renaissance a gated community?

Yes. Lee County's subdivision record flags The Renaissance as gated, a county attribute rather than a field check. The CDD's minutes describe an "HOA-owned guardhouse": the guardhouse belongs to the Renaissance Community Association, which provides gatehouse personnel. Every internal street is coded privately maintained on the county road layer (Lee County Cadastre subdivisions; CDD minutes, January 12, 2026).

How many homes are in The Renaissance?

The county roll counts 385 homesites in The Renaissance: 249 single-family homes, 130 Triana condominium units and 6 vacant homesites, or 379 built residences. The club cites 386 homesites, and the CDD counts 386 homes plus two golf parcels, which is its 388 (CDD 2023 assessment methodology; The Club at Renaissance, Our Story).

How many acres is The Renaissance?

The Renaissance covers about 507 acres. The CDD boundary in Lee County Ordinance 01-10 contains 507.023 acres, and the CDD's own pages say about 507. The South Florida Water Management District master surface water permit for the community covers 506.9 acres (Ordinance 01-10; SFWMD applications layer).

Who developed The Renaissance?

Worthington of Renaissance, LLC, a Florida company filed July 24, 2000 as the single-purpose company of the Worthington Communities group, developed The Renaissance; the North rezoning was filed in the name of Worthington Holdings. The developer sold the club to a Concert Golf Partners affiliate on September 22, 2022, and the developer company was administratively dissolved on September 22, 2023 (Sunbiz, Worthington of Renaissance, LLC, read October 2026; Concert Golf Partners release).

When was The Renaissance built?

Homesite sales in The Renaissance began in 2002, the golf course opened in 2003 and the clubhouse was completed in 2004. On the county roll, the single-family homes were built from 2003 to 2024 and the Triana condominiums from 2003 to 2007; the last Triana building dates from 2007 (The Club at Renaissance, Our Story; Lee County Property Appraiser roll, October 4, 2026).

What neighborhoods are inside The Renaissance?

The Renaissance has six named sections: Terabella (estate homes, Plat Book 72 Block A), Vittoria (Block B), Villagio (detached villas, Block C), Monteverdi (Block F), Via Lago (the Phase 2A plat of 2005) and Triana I to IV, the 130 condominium units. The names are the developer's own Florida service marks, filed August 12, 2004 (Renaissance North RPD document set).

What types of homes are in The Renaissance?

The Renaissance holds detached single-family homes and condominiums. Terabella and Vittoria are the estate sections; Monteverdi holds executive homes, most of them on the course; Villagio holds detached villas on the smallest lots, 57 of its 59 with 2 or 3 bedrooms; Via Lago holds the newest homes, built 2006 to 2024; Triana holds coach-home condominiums in two-story buildings (Lee County Property Appraiser roll, October 4, 2026).

How big are the homes and lots in The Renaissance?

County heated area in The Renaissance runs from 1,913 to 9,254 square feet for single-family homes and from 1,826 to 2,733 square feet for Triana units. Median lots are about 0.53 acre in Terabella, 0.36 in Vittoria, 0.30 in Monteverdi and 0.21 in Villagio. Via Lago homes run 2,909 to 6,898 heated square feet on plat lots of 13,486 to 29,207 square feet (Phase 2A plat set).

What is Triana at The Renaissance?

Triana I to IV is the condominium section of The Renaissance: 130 units in 32 two-story buildings, built 2003 to 2007.

Is The Club at Renaissance an equity club?

No document we read calls it an equity club.

What are the HOA fees in The Renaissance?

The Renaissance Community Association, the master association, does not publish its assessment in any document we could reach on October 21, 2026, and the four Triana condominium associations do not publish theirs either.

What is the difference between the CDD and the HOA at The Renaissance?

The Renaissance CDD is a public special district: it maintains the stormwater lakes, preserves, berms, part of the irrigation system and the I-75 wall, and bills through the tax bill.

Is The Renaissance a 55+ community?

The Renaissance is not designated age-restricted on any record we read: no 55+ designation appears in the zoning, the association articles or the CDD record.

Can I rent out my home in The Renaissance?

The Renaissance Community Association's Amended and Restated Articles allow it to approve or disapprove transfer, leasing and occupancy "only to the extent provided in the Governing Documents."

The Renaissance Frequently Asked Questions: Seller Edition

The Renaissance sellers ask about price, speed, the six sections, the CDD line, closing costs, the club, association paperwork and flood maps. Each answer draws on the Lee County record or a posted document, and where a figure is not published, or the MLS was not available to us, we say so in plain words rather than estimate it.

Who is the best listing agent for The Renaissance?

McGreevy and Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, ranked the #5 real estate team in Florida (RealTrends 2026), with over $2.5 billion sold by our Domain Realty Group team.

Your Renaissance home is worth what sales of the same section, view class and size support.

Ask for a free home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, and we will price your home against its own section.

In the 12 months to September 25, 2026, Lee County recorded 21 sales in The Renaissance from $430,000 to $2,330,000. By band: 5 from $400,000 to $500,000, 2 from $500,000 to $750,000, 6 from $750,000 to $1,000,000 and 8 at $1,000,000 and up (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis).

What is the median sale price in The Renaissance?

The median sale price in The Renaissance was $910,000 across all 21 recorded residential sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. For single-family homes alone it was $1,420,000 on 13 sales in the same window. Triana condominiums are read over 24 months, 10 sales at a $506,000 median, because their 12-month count of 8 is under 10 (Lee County recorded sales, our analysis).

What is the price per square foot in The Renaissance?

In the 12 months to September 25, 2026 the median price per square foot of county heated area in The Renaissance was $330.74 across all 21 sales and $383.73 for the 13 single-family sales. Heated area is the county's measure, not the living area an MLS listing prints, so we never compare the two figures (Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 4, 2026) and Lee County recorded qualified sales through September 25, 2026, our analysis).

What do Triana condos sell for?

Triana condominiums in The Renaissance recorded 10 sales in the 24 months to September 25, 2026 at a $506,000 median, from $430,000 to $910,000, or $252.46 per square foot of county heated area. In the 12 months alone they recorded 8 sales at a $486,000 median, a count under 10. In 2026 through September 25, Triana recorded 7 sales at a $480,000 median (Lee County recorded sales, our analysis).

Why did one Triana condo sell for $910,000 in 2026?

The March 24, 2026 Triana sale at $910,000 was one Triana III unit of 2,732 heated square feet, built in 2005, which the appraiser coded as a qualified sale. The same floor plan sold at $635,000 in May 2026 and $480,000 in July 2026, so the March sale sits well above the other 2026 Triana sales. We price Triana from the 24-month median, $506,000, not from that one sale (Lee County property sales layer).

How long does it take to sell a home in The Renaissance?

Time to sell in The Renaissance is an MLS measure: the 21 closings in the 12 months to October 29, 2026 took a median 149 days on market, and the 14 single-family sales a median 203.5 days (Southwest Florida MLS, Matrix export of October 29, 2026). The Lee County record shows the pace: 21 recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, and 31 in 24 months. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for the current days-on-market read on homes like yours.

The county roll tells you the size of the pool: 385 homesites, of which 6 are vacant. For a current count of listings in your section, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 or ask for a free home valuation.

The Lee County record carries the recorded sale price only, which is why the county figures in this guide are recorded prices, never a percentage of list. We pull the MLS ratio for your section when we prepare your listing.

Are home prices dropping in The Renaissance?

The single-family calendar median in The Renaissance fell from $1,720,000 in 2023 to $1,240,000 in 2026 through September 25, but 4 of the 10 single-family sales recorded in 2026 were Villagio Way homes, the smallest product, so that is a change in mix, not a measured price drop. The estate blocks read $1,525,000 on 5 sales in 2025 and $1,499,900 on 5 in 2026. Read section medians, not the blend (Lee County recorded sales, our analysis).

What do Villagio homes sell for?

The top 24-month sale was $4,200,000 on Terabella Way in October 2024 (Lee County recorded sales, our analysis).

Do golf course homes sell for more in The Renaissance?

We do not publish a golf premium for The Renaissance, because recorded sales are too few, section by section, to isolate one honestly. The appraiser's view classes differ sharply: Monteverdi has 43 of 52 lots on the golf course class and Via Lago 30 of 55 on the lake class. We price your home against sales in the same section and, where they exist, the same view class (Lee County Property Appraiser parcel service).

How do I price a home with five single-family sections and a condominium in one community?

Price a Renaissance home section by section, never from the community median. We read each section over the first window that reaches 10 sales: the estate blocks over 24 months ($1,502,445 median), Villagio over 60 months ($917,500), Via Lago over 60 months ($1,810,000) and Triana over 24 months ($506,000), then list the thin 12-month sales street by street. That is the section table earlier in this guide, built from the Lee County record.

How much does it cost to sell a home in The Renaissance?

In Lee County a Renaissance seller customarily pays the deed's documentary stamps, $0.70 per $100, and the owner's title policy at the promulgated rate, plus an estoppel certificate of up to $299 per association. On a $910,000 sale that is $6,370.00 in doc stamps and about $4,625.00 for owner's title. The commission is negotiated, and we print no rate. The contract controls who pays what (Florida Department of Revenue, Documentary Stamp Tax).

Who pays for the owner's title policy in Lee County?

In Lee County the seller customarily pays for the owner's title policy, at the state's promulgated rate of $5.75 per $1,000 up to $100,000, $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1 million and $2.50 per $1,000 above that. The purchase contract controls, so a Renaissance sale can allocate it differently by agreement. Title figures in this guide are estimates; rounding, reissue credits and endorsements vary by title company.

Do I have to pay off the CDD when I sell?

The Renaissance CDD charge is a line on the parcel's Lee County tax bill, so it stays with the home and the next owner pays it from the closing date. Prepaying the debt piece is an option the district offers through its estoppel letter, which carries a $150 fee; nothing we read requires it at sale. Prepayment does not remove the operations and maintenance piece (Renaissance CDD assessments).

Should I prepay the CDD bond before selling?

That is your decision, and we give no advice figure. The facts: prepayment ends only the debt line, cannot be reversed, and needs the district's estoppel letter for the payoff amount. The effect on a buyer's bill is visible on the schedule, for example a Villagio home carries $714.49 a year less debt service with the old Series 2012 debt prepaid. Whether that returns in price is not something the record measures (Renaissance CDD assessments).

Does paying off the bond remove the CDD line from the tax bill?

No. Paying off the bond removes only the debt piece of the Renaissance CDD line; the operations and maintenance assessment, $1,251.10 per home in FY 2027, continues every year, including after the bonds' final payment on May 1, 2037. The line stays on the Lee County tax bill, collected by the Tax Collector from November 1 (FY 2027 Adopted Budget).

Do I have to tell a buyer about the Renaissance CDD?

Florida Statutes s. 190.048 requires a CDD disclosure in the contract for the initial sale of a parcel in a community development district. On a resale in The Renaissance, the CDD line is printed on the public Lee County tax bill, and we show the row for your lot with the listing so the buyer sees it first from us (Florida Statutes s. 190.048). Your contract and closing agent set the forms.

Do I need an estoppel certificate to sell?

Yes, in practice: the Renaissance Community Association does not publish its assessment, so the estoppel certificate is the document that states what is owed at closing. Florida law caps the fee at $299 per association, plus $119 if expedited and $179 more if delinquent. If the CDD debt is to be paid off, the district issues a separate estoppel letter for $150 (Renaissance CDD assessments).

What does a Triana seller need from the condominium association?

A Triana seller in The Renaissance needs two estoppel certificates: one from the master association and one from the Triana condominium association for the unit's building, since each of Triana I to IV has its own association. Triana assessments, reserves and leasing rules are not published, so ask for the current budget and rules early. For Triana IV, water and sewer are individually metered, not a common expense (DBPR Triana IV filings).

Does a Triana seller need SIRS or milestone inspection paperwork?

Florida's milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study laws apply to condominium buildings of three habitable stories or more. Triana's buildings in The Renaissance are two-story, so on the statute text they fall below that threshold; we have not read the associations' own documents, so ask the Triana association whether it holds any such report (Florida Statutes s. 553.899; s. 718.112).

Does my club membership transfer when I sell?

Whether a membership at The Club at Renaissance transfers to your buyer is not published in any record we read. The club's 2026 booklet says community (social) membership is included with a Renaissance real estate purchase, while golf categories carry their own initiation and caps. Ask the club for its current membership agreement and transfer terms in writing; we put them in the listing file so your buyer reads the club's own words.

Does the buyer of my home pay a club initiation fee?

Per the club's 2026 booklet, community (social) membership is included with a Renaissance real estate purchase, so no social initiation is listed for a buyer, and resident social dues are $5,050 a year. A buyer who wants golf pays that category's initiation: $90,000 for Full Golf or $50,000 for Executive Golf, before 6.5 percent Florida sales tax (2026 membership booklet).

Is there a capital contribution or transfer fee when I sell?

No capital contribution or transfer fee for The Renaissance is published in any document we could reach on October 21, 2026. If one exists it would sit in the Declaration's assessment article and appear on the master association's estoppel certificate, and for a Triana unit on the condominium association's as well. Order the estoppel early so the figure, if any, is on the settlement statement before closing.

Do the club and association disputes affect selling my home?

Here are the dated facts, without characterisation. Concert Renaissance LLC v. Renaissance CDD (filed October 2023) settled and was dismissed in June 2025. Lee County's hearing examiner found no zoning violation in four code cases on June 23, 2025. A Concert suit against the Renaissance Community Association was e-filed June 23, 2025 and described in February 2026 as moving toward settlement; the outcome was not found (hearing examiner orders). Whether any of this affects a given sale is not something the record shows.

Will the pending rezoning on Palomino Lane affect my sale?

Rezoning case DCI2024-00042 covers about 19.48 acres at the northeast corner of Palomino Lane and Kings Crossing Road and would allow up to 360 multifamily units or a retail and office option; the applicant says the adjacent Renaissance land is the golf maintenance facility and course, with 15-foot buffers. A resubmittal is due December 18, 2026, and no hearing is scheduled. We make no claim about value (DCI2024-00042 case index).

How do the flood zone and insurance affect my sale?

Every home and condominium building in The Renaissance maps to FEMA Zone X, so no special flood hazard area applies, and that fact goes in the listing file. A buyer's insurance still matters: Citizens requires flood coverage on wind-covering policies outside the special flood hazard area at Coverage A of $400,000 or more from January 1, 2026, and on all such policies from January 1, 2027, with condominium unit-owner policies exempt (Citizens flood requirement).

How are Lee County property taxes handled at closing?

Florida property taxes run on the calendar year and are paid in arrears, with the Lee County bill collected from November 1. At a closing before the bill is paid, the Renaissance seller credits the buyer for the seller's days of the year, usually estimated from the prior year's bill, and the CDD line on that same bill is handled the same way. Paid in November, the bill earns a 4 percent discount (Lee County Tax Collector).

Can I transfer my Lee County homestead savings when I sell?

Florida's portability rule can let a homestead owner carry part of the accumulated assessment-limit benefit from a Renaissance home to a new Florida homestead, if the owner applies in time. The Lee County Property Appraiser decides eligibility and the amount, so confirm with the Property Appraiser before you list, and keep your closing statement for the application. We print no portability figure, because it depends on your own assessment history.

Can we list off-market in The Renaissance?

Yes. We can market a Renaissance home privately to our qualified-buyer database before, or instead of, a public listing, with discretion for owners who want it. The trade-off is fewer buyers seeing the home, so we walk through what private marketing gains and what it gives up for your section and price. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a confidential conversation.

How do you market a Renaissance home to qualified buyers?

We market a Renaissance home on the facts a buyer here transacts on: the section and plat, the appraiser's view class, the FY 2027 CDD total for the lot's row, the club's own 2026 terms and the flood record (Zone X, Evacuation Zone D, 160 mph design wind). Then we add cinematic video, drone, professional photography, our qualified-buyer database, and discretion and off-market capability when needed.

When is the best time to list in The Renaissance?

We make no seasonal claim for The Renaissance. In the Southwest Florida MLS, 10 of the 21 closings in the 12 months to October 29, 2026 fell from January through April 2026, 6 of them in March, but one year of 21 sales is too few to call a pattern. The Lee County record shows annual pace instead, for example 39 recorded sales in 2019, 60 in 2021 and 17 in 2026 through September 25. The right time is when your home and your section's comparable sales line up, which we check before we list.

What does McGreevy and Comisar charge to list?

Our listing fee for a Renaissance home is negotiated between you and us, and we print no commission rate on this page. What we can say is what the fee buys: pricing from the Lee County record by section, the CDD row and club terms in the file, cinematic video, drone, professional photography and our qualified-buyer database. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to talk it through.

Do I need an elevation certificate to sell?

No base flood elevation applies in Zone X, and Lee County holds no elevation certificate for any building inside The Renaissance on its public layer. If a buyer's flood insurer asks for one, it comes from a licensed surveyor. Lee County's rule for X zones is that the livable floor sits 1 foot above the crown of the road (Lee County flood permit brochure).

What is my next step to sell in The Renaissance?

Your next step is a free valuation built on your Renaissance section's own recorded sales. Ask for a free home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072, text or call, with confidential conversations welcome. If you are also buying, call Marc at (239) 287-5873. We pull the CDD row, the estoppel contacts and the club's terms before we price.
