136 single-family homes built 1994 to 1999

Forest Ridge is 136 single-family homes recorded on the county roll as Tract MN of the Fountain Lakes subdivision, built 1994 to 1999 with a median year of 1996, from 1,309 to 2,525 heated square feet, a median of 1,600. The roll lists 14 two-bedroom, 96 three-bedroom, 22 four-bedroom and 4 five-bedroom homes, the widest range of sizes in Fountain Lakes.

The Forest Ridge association

Forest Ridge's association (Sunbiz N93000004271) sits under the Fountain Lakes master. It is a different neighborhood from Forest Ridge Shores at the south end, with its own plat, association and fee, and our numbers never combine the two.

What does it cost to own in Forest Ridge?

The yearly cost of a Forest Ridge home is the Forest Ridge association's assessment, which includes the Fountain Lakes master share, the irrigation co-op and the property tax. The master's 2026 share and the irrigation charge are published, so they are below; the Forest Ridge association does not publish its total on a public page, so the total below is the figure listing agents entered on the MLS. Data updated: October 2026.

Cost	Amount	Source
Master assessment, 2026	$370 a quarter ($1,480 a year), inside the neighborhood assessment	2026 sales packets
Irrigation Co-op	$32 a month, billed $96 a quarter	Irrigation Co-op page
Lease application	$100	2025 recorded rules
Forest Ridge association assessment, including the master share	$400 a quarter typical ($380 on some), as entered on MLS listings	Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix) listing data, pulled Oct 22, 2026

Closing costs

The master association collects a capital contribution at closing, and each neighborhood issues its own estoppel; confirm both on the Forest Ridge 2026 sales packet. There are no club dues and we found no community development district.

Property taxes

Fountain Lakes is inside the Village of Estero, so the bill carries the Village's 0.73 mills for 2026-27 and the school district's 5.271 mills, plus Lee County and the Estero fire district.

What to ask for before an offer

Ask for the Forest Ridge 2026 sales packet, budget and last two statements, the master estoppel, the irrigation co-op account and the roof age and wind mitigation report. For Jesse and Marc's take on daily life in Forest Ridge, read McGreevy and Comisar's Forest Ridge at Fountain Lakes guide.
