What do homes in Crystal Lakes sell for?

Crystal Lakes homes sold at a median of $147,500 on the Lee County record across 16 qualified sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026 (the newest sale in the county file), from $60,000 to $370,000. The 12 months before that recorded 11 sales at $169,000, so the median moved down 12.7 percent. Data updated: October 2026.

We tracked every qualified Crystal Lakes sale on the Lee County file to build the tables below. The newest Crystal Lakes sale in the file was recorded September 2, 2026. Every home on the county roll is a mobile or manufactured home (county use code 02), so there are no single-family or condominium-building rows to split out.

Lee County recorded sales	Sales	Median	Low	High	Median $ per heated sq ft
12 months, all homes	16	$147,500	$60,000	$370,000	$121
Prior 12 months, all homes	11	$169,000	$119,000	$230,000	$143
24 months, all homes	27	$165,000	$60,000	$370,000	$135

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale and parcel files, DOR-qualified improved sales over $1,000, index built October 28, 2026; the 12 months run September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026 and the prior 12 months September 26, 2024 to September 25, 2025. No sale in either window was builder-direct: all 16 sales in the latest 12 months were resales. Sales rose from 11 to 16.

The Crystal Lakes price trend by year

The county record shows a climb from 2015 to a peak in 2023, then three lower readings. Each year is a small number of sales, from 8 in 2023 to 25 in 2021, so one large or small home moves the median.

Year	Sales	Median	Builder-direct sales	Median $ per heated sq ft
2015	17	$105,000	0	$89
2016	15	$115,391	1	$93

2025	13	$165,000	0	$137
2026 (to date)	13	$165,000	0	$125

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale files by calendar year, DOR-qualified sales, index built October 28, 2026. Builder-direct is estimated as the first qualified sale within one year of the year built. The 2023 median of $220,000 is the high point of the series and the 2015 median of $105,000 the low; the $ per square foot peak was $180 in 2023.

What the county record shows about the change

The county record shows the median moving from $220,000 in 2023 to $190,000 in 2024 and $165,000 in both 2025 and the 2026 year to date, but a deed carries a price and a date, not a reason. We do not attribute the change to any cause. The age and size of the homes that happened to sell in a year move the median more than in a larger community.

Price bands in the last 12 months

Of the 16 recorded sales, 3 closed under $100,000, 5 between $100,000 and $149,999, 6 between $150,000 and $199,999, 1 between $200,000 and $299,999 and 1 at $370,000. Band counts are our tally of the 16 sales listed in the county file. Fifteen of the 16 closed under $300,000.

The $370,000 sale at 5250 Manatee Bay Ln is also the highest qualified Crystal Lakes sale anywhere in the county file: a 1,783 square foot home built in 2004, recorded March 3, 2026.

Price per square foot in Crystal Lakes

County dollars per square foot on this page use heated (living) area from the Lee County roll, not total area under roof. On that basis the 12-month median was $121 per square foot, against $143 in the prior 12 months and $135 across 24 months. The calendar-year peak was $180 in 2023, and the 2026 year to date sits at $125.

Crystal Lakes sales by street

Fiddleleaf Drive recorded 7 of the 16 sales in the 12-month window, Sugarberry Way 4, Manatee Bay Lane 2, and Tarpon Key Court, Dolphin Bay Court and Sugarmill Springs Drive 1 each (our tally of the county list). Fiddleleaf Drive is also the street with the most homes, 97 of the 283.

What the county record cannot show

The county file records the price and the date a deed was recorded. It does not record the asking price, how long the home was listed, how many homes are for sale today, or whether a sale included furniture. Those are MLS or closing fields, and the MLS ones are being added in our next data refresh; the listing links above show current inventory now.

Crystal Lakes homes and lots compared

Crystal Lakes homes sit on 336 county parcels that fall into two legal-description groups on the Lee County roll. The group recorded as "Crystal Lakes Manufactured Home Comm" holds the newer, larger homes; the group recorded as "Crystal Lakes Manufactured Home Community" holds the older ones. Data updated: October 2026.

County legal group	Homes	Year built	Median heated sq ft	24-month sales	24-month median	12-month sales	12-month median
Crystal Lakes Manufactured Home Comm	160	1998 to 2023	1,375	13	$175,000	6	$170,000
Crystal Lakes Manufactured Home Community	123	1973 to 2019	1,104	14	$141,500	10	$131,500

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified sales, grouped by the short legal description, index built October 28, 2026. The 12-month counts and medians are our tally of the county's list of 16 sales. A median of six sales is a range, not a price.

The two county legal groups

The newer group, 160 homes built 1998 to 2023, recorded the community's highest sale ($370,000 on Manatee Bay Lane) and its 2026 sales on Fiddleleaf Drive from $165,000 to $189,900. Its 12-month low was $80,500 on Manatee Bay Lane, so age and condition still spread prices inside the newer group.

The older group, 123 homes built 1973 to 2019 with a 1,104 square foot median, recorded the two lowest 12-month sales, $60,000 on Tarpon Key Court and $65,000 on Fiddleleaf Drive, and the second-highest, $230,000 at 9947 Dolphin Bay Ct for a 1,349 square foot home built in 1992. Its 10 sales in the window were the most of the two groups.

Bedrooms and heated area on the county roll

The 283 homes on the 2026 roll run from 624 to 2,356 heated square feet, with a median of 1,280. Two-bedroom homes dominate: 241 of 283, with 41 three-bedroom homes and 1 one-bedroom. Every home is one story on the county layer, and none of the 283 carries a pool on the roll.

Lots, carports and garages

The median Crystal Lakes lot is 0.117 acre on the 2026 roll. Only about 5 percent of the home parcels carry a garage on the county layer; carports are the norm, and 2026 MLS listing data shows two carport spaces on one listing. Lot lines, setbacks and what may be added to a lot are set by the recorded condominium documents.

The seven streets

The 283 homes sit on seven streets on the county layer queried October 28, 2026: Fiddleleaf Drive (97 homes), Sugarberry Way (53), Silk Oak Avenue (39), Sugarmill Springs Drive (35), Manatee Bay Lane (34), Tarpon Key Court (16) and Dolphin Bay Court (9). The community is reached by Country Lakes Drive and Sugarmill Springs Drive.

Vacant lots and common tracts

Forty-seven of the 336 parcels are vacant unit lots (county use code 00): condominium units with no home on the 2026 roll. Six parcels are common tracts (use code 09) covering buffers, right of way, an easement, a storage area and the recreation area. The declaration counts 338 units; 15 unit numbers do not appear on the roll as separate parcels.

Ownership on the 2026 roll

On the 2026 roll, 145 of the 283 home parcels list a Florida owner mailing address, 53 Texas, 13 Michigan, 12 Minnesota, 9 Kentucky and 7 each Illinois, Indiana and Ontario. A mailing address signals where tax bills go, not where an owner lives. MHC Crystal Lakes Lots, L.L.C., the operator's affiliate, is the owner of record on 92 parcels: 40 vacant lots and 52 homes.

Assessed values on the 2026 roll

The Lee County Property Appraiser's 2026 roll shows a median just value of $145,947 and a median taxable value of $117,722 for the 283 Crystal Lakes home parcels. Taxable value is lower than just value where a homestead exemption or the Save Our Homes cap applies, which is why two similar homes can carry very different tax bills.

Do you own the land at Crystal Lakes?

Yes, for owner-held units. Crystal Lakes is a condominium, not a lot-rent park and not a co-op: it has 338 units in Florida records, and each home site is a condominium unit owned with a share of the common elements. 2026 MLS listing data shows a $0 land lease fee. Data updated: October 2026.

What a condominium unit means at Crystal Lakes

Florida Statutes section 718.103 lets a condominium unit be land as well as a building, which is how a manufactured home community can be a condominium. At Crystal Lakes the unit is the lot. The owner holds the lot and the home on it, plus an undivided share of the common elements such as the recreation area, and pays the association's assessment rather than rent.

Why the lot-rent law does not govern owner-held units

Florida's Mobile Home Act, chapter 723, defines a mobile home park in section 723.003 as lots offered for rent or lease. An owner-held Crystal Lakes unit is not offered for rent, so the lot-rent rules of chapter 723 generally do not govern it. Condominium law, chapter 718, governs the association, the budget, the records and the resale documents instead.

Lots held by the operator's affiliate

The county owner field shows MHC Crystal Lakes Lots, L.L.C. on 92 of the 336 parcels: 40 vacant lots and 52 homes. The operator's community page offers an "Annual Rental" tour option and model homes. A buyer looking at a home on one of those 92 parcels should ask, in writing, whether the lot is sold with the home or offered another way, and check the county record before committing.

What the 2025 and 2026 listing data shows about land and fees

2026 MLS listing data on Crystal Lakes sales shows a land lease fee of $0, a transfer fee of $0, a one-time mandatory club fee of $0 and an application fee of $150. Listing remarks in 2023 and 2024 describe the land as owned. These are listing fields entered by agents, not association statements, so confirm each on the estoppel certificate.

Who runs Crystal Lakes?

Crystal Lakes is run by one Florida not-for-profit corporation, Crystal Lakes Manufactured Home Community Association, Inc. (Sunbiz document N36337, filed January 29, 1990, active), managed by Schoo Association Management, LLC in Fort Myers. No master association or community development district was found in the records read for this page.

The association record on Sunbiz

The Sunbiz record shows the filing date (January 29, 1990), active status, an amendment to the articles filed May 4, 2015, and a 2026 annual report filed March 27, 2026 that names Schoo Association Management, LLC, 9403 Cypress Lake Drive, Suite C, Fort Myers, FL 33919, as principal address and registered agent. We do not print the names of officers or directors.

The recorded declaration and its amendments

Public legal notices for Lee County foreclosure sales recite the recorded documents behind every Crystal Lakes unit. The Declaration of Condominium was recorded at Official Records Book 2126, Page 435, under the original name Sugarmill Springs Mobile Home Condominium, Phase I. Phase Two was added and the condominium renamed by the amendment at Official Records Book 2784, Page 4003, the reference on 212 county legal descriptions.

Other recorded amendments

The same notices list a First Amendment at OR Book 2217, Page 2252, a Certificate of Amendment at OR Book 2237, Page 539, a recorded amendment of the rules and regulations, bylaws and articles at OR Book 2624, Page 3493, a further amendment at OR Book 2918, Page 3766, a surveyor's certificate at OR Book 3018, Page 2057 and an assignment of developer's rights at OR Book 3021, Page 516. The instruments themselves sit in the Lee County Clerk's official records.

Name traps: The Club at Crystal Lake and other Crystal Lakes

The Club at Crystal Lake is a separate condominium in Fort Myers with its own association, and Crystal Lake Drive in North Fort Myers is a different place. Neither shares a fact on this page. Other unrelated namesakes include Crystal Lake in Zephyrhills, Crystal Lake Club in Avon Park, Country Lakes Villages in Palmetto, The Village of Crystal Lakes Condominium and Crystal Lakes in Red Feather Lakes, Colorado.

What Florida law says the association must publish

Florida Statutes section 718.111(12)(g) requires an association managing a condominium of 25 or more units to post its recorded declaration, bylaws, rules, budget, financial report, minutes and other records on a website or app; the DBPR timeline and the HB 913 bill analysis date that duty for associations of this size from January 1, 2026. Crystal Lakes has 338 units. No public association website was found, so ask the manager for the documents or portal access.

Resale documents and the estoppel certificate

Florida Statutes section 718.503 entitles a buyer under contract to the declaration, articles, bylaws, rules, budget, annual financial statement and the condominium's question-and-answer sheet. Section 718.116(8) caps the estoppel certificate fee at $250, plus $100 if expedited and up to $150 more if the unit is delinquent, and requires delivery within 10 business days. The certificate states the current fee and any balance owed.

Is Crystal Lakes a 55+ community?

Crystal Lakes is marketed by its operator as age qualified: the operator's community page, read October 28, 2026, calls it a gated, age-qualified manufactured home community. No recorded age restriction was found in the records read, so the recorded condominium documents and the association's written age policy are what decide the rule. See all 55+ communities in Fort Myers.

What federal and Florida law require for a 55+ community

Federal rules at 24 CFR 100.304 to 100.307 let a community qualify as housing for persons 55 or older when at least 80 percent of occupied units have at least one occupant 55 or older, it publishes and follows policies showing that intent, and it verifies occupancy through surveys at least every two years. Florida Statutes section 760.29(4) tracks the same exemption. A page can state a 55+ rule as fact only by citing the recorded instrument that creates it.

Where the rule would be recorded

The documents most likely to hold an occupancy or age rule are the Declaration of Condominium at OR Book 2126, Page 435 and the recorded amendment of the rules and regulations at OR Book 2624, Page 3493. Neither was retrieved online for this page. Under 24 CFR 100.307, a community claiming the exemption must make a summary of its occupancy surveys available on reasonable request.

How to confirm the rule for a specific home

Before an offer, ask the association manager for the recorded declaration and amendments, the written age policy and the latest occupancy survey summary, and read them during the contract's review period. Listing data that says "Senior Community: Yes" is an agent-entered field, not the recorded rule.

What does it cost to own in Crystal Lakes?

Crystal Lakes ownership costs stack in two main layers: the condominium association's assessment, shown at $140 a month on 2025 and 2026 MLS listing data, and Lee County property tax in taxing district 046, Tice Fire, at 14.6123 mills for 2026. No lot rent, community development district or club fee was found. Data updated: October 2026.

Cost layer	Amount	Period and source
Association assessment	$140 a month ($1,680 a year)	2025 and 2026 MLS listing data (MLS-reported)
Land lease fee	$0	2026 MLS listing data (MLS-reported)

Community development district	none found	Lee County 2026 millage book, district 046

Association fee history from MLS listing data

The association does not publish its budget on a public page. MLS listing data has shown $96 a month on a home sold October 1, 2021, $110 and $111 a month in 2023 and 2024 listing remarks, and $140 a month ($1,680 a year) on 2025 and 2026 entries. From $96 to $140 is about 46 percent (our arithmetic). The cause of the increases is not documented in any budget or minutes we read.

What the association fee includes

The 2026 MLS maintenance field lists association management, recreation facilities, street lights and security, and the fee-includes line names association management and internet. Those are listing statements, not an association budget, so confirm the list, and whether water or sewer is billed separately, on the current budget and the estoppel certificate.

Property taxes in taxing district 046

Every Crystal Lakes parcel is in Lee County taxing district 046, Tice Fire, in unincorporated Lee County, so there is no city millage. The 2026 adopted total is 14.6123 mills; the same page lists a proposed total of 14.6238 and a rollback rate of 14.4035. Each $100,000 of taxable value costs $1,461.23 at the adopted rate.

Taxing authority, district 046	2026 mills (adopted)
Lee County general revenue	3.7623
Tice Fire District	3.7500
School, state law	3.0230
School, local board	2.2480

The Tice Fire District budget

The Tice Fire Protection and Rescue Service District is an independent special district, and its line is the second-largest on a Crystal Lakes tax bill. Its 2026-27 final budget sets 3.7500 mills (the rollback rate was 3.5019), with $7,034,939 in gross ad valorem revenue and $7,363,500 in planned expenditures. The district reports an ISO Class 2 rating on its site.

The Tice Fire assessment hearing on December 10, 2026

Tice Fire published a Notice of Intent in October 2026 to levy a non-ad valorem fire and rescue assessment for the first time, collected on the tax bill by the uniform method. The board will consider the resolution at 6:30 p.m. on December 10, 2026, at 9351 Workmen Way. No dollar amount has been published, so this page does not estimate one.

A worked yearly cost example (illustrative)

Take the 2026 roll's median taxable value for a Crystal Lakes home, $117,722. At 14.6123 mills the ad valorem tax is about $1,720.19. Add the MLS-reported association fee of $140 a month, $1,680 a year, and the illustrative yearly total is $3,400.19. A non-homestead home taxed at the median just value of $145,947 would pay about $2,132.62, for a total of $3,812.62. This is an illustration, not a quote.

Line	At median taxable value	At median just value
Property tax (value x 14.6123 / 1,000)	$1,720.19	$2,132.62
Association fee, MLS-reported ($140 x 12)	$1,680.00	$1,680.00
Illustrative yearly total	$3,400.19	$3,812.62

The example leaves out the solid waste assessment, any new Tice Fire assessment, insurance on the home, utilities not in the fee and any exemption change. Run the figures with the exact home's tax bill and estoppel certificate.

Solid waste and other bill lines

Lee County charges a solid waste assessment to each improved property as a non-ad valorem line on the tax bill. The dollar amount for an unincorporated Crystal Lakes home was not available in the county pages read for this page, so we do not print it. A home's TRIM notice says non-ad valorem lines do not appear on the notice but do appear on the final bill.

Homestead, Save Our Homes and tax bill timing

A home used as a permanent residence can qualify for homestead; the Lee County Property Appraiser takes applications by March 1, Save Our Homes limits yearly increases in assessed value to the lesser of CPI or 3 percent, and up to $500,000 of the benefit can be ported to a new Florida homestead. The Lee County Tax Collector mails bills in November, due by March 31, with discounts of 4 percent in November down to 1 percent in February.

What amenities does Crystal Lakes have?

Crystal Lakes amenities are common elements of the condominium: the operator's community page, read October 28, 2026, lists a gated entrance, a clubhouse, a swimming pool, tennis courts, pickleball and shuffleboard, with photos of a lake and gazebo. There is no golf course, fitness center or restaurant in any source read for this page.

Clubhouse and pool

The operator's page shows the clubhouse exterior and its main room, and lists a swimming pool. The county roll places the recreation area on one of the six common tracts. Hours, guest rules and event use of the clubhouse are set by the association, so ask the manager for the current rules before relying on any of them.

Tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard

Tennis, pickleball and shuffleboard appear among the amenities on the operator's community page. Court counts, lighting and reservation rules were not published in the sources read for this page.

The lake

Crystal Lakes is built around water, and the operator's page shows a lake with a gazebo. We do not print an acreage or a fishing rule, because no current first-party source states either; ask the association what use of the lake its rules allow.

Is Crystal Lakes gated?

Yes, by the operator's description: its community page calls Crystal Lakes a gated community, and 2026 MLS listing data names security among the items the association fee covers. Gate staffing and hours were not published in the sources read for this page.

Boat and RV storage

The county roll lists a storage area among the six common tracts. Whether owners may store a boat or RV there, and at what cost, was not stated in any current first-party source, so ask the association before counting on it.

Rentals and pets: what is not published

No published rule book was found for Crystal Lakes, so this page does not state a minimum lease term, a rental approval process or a pet weight limit. Those rules sit in the recorded declaration and the association's rules. Ask the association in writing before buying a home you plan to lease or before bringing a pet.

Is Crystal Lakes in a flood zone?

Crystal Lakes is in FEMA Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard: all 336 Lee County parcels in the community fall in Zone X on flood insurance rate map panel 12071C0291G, effective November 17, 2022, checked against county and FEMA flood layers on October 28, 2026. No parcel is in a special flood hazard area.

The FEMA panel and the flood community

The effective panel is 12071C0291G, part of Lee County's countywide flood insurance rate map, in the Lee County (Unincorporated Areas) flood community, number 125124. FEMA publishes no base flood elevation in Zone X. A separate 30-parcel screen of the roll also returned Zone X on all 30 points. Search any address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

The March 2, 2027 map revision

FEMA's Letters of Final Determination list a Lee County revision effective March 2, 2027, letter dated September 2, 2026, for Lee County (Unincorporated Areas), community 125124. Lee County's floodplain pages list the six revised panels, all in the Mullock Creek area: 0576, 0577, 0578, 0579, 0581 and 0583. Crystal Lakes' panel, 0291, is not among them.

How high is the ground at Crystal Lakes?

The USGS Elevation Point Query Service returned 15.57 feet above sea level (NAVD88) at the community's median point. A sample of Lee County's 2018 spot elevations inside the community's bounding box had a median of 16.6 feet, with the 10th to 90th percentile running 13.2 to 17.9 feet, so lots vary by several feet.

Crystal Lakes evacuation zone

Lee County's evacuation zones layer places Crystal Lakes in Evacuation Zone D, storm surge zone 4. Manufactured homes are different: Lee County and the State tell residents of mobile and manufactured homes to follow evacuation orders regardless of zone. In Hurricane Ian, Lee County ordered mobile and manufactured homes to evacuate on September 27, 2022, although Zone D itself was not ordered.

Hurricane Ian in September 2022

The National Hurricane Center records Ian's landfall at Cayo Costa on September 28, 2022 at 130 knots. The Fort Myers river gauge measured 7.25 feet of surge and an estimated 7.26 feet of inundation above ground, and 36 of Ian's 41 surge deaths were in Lee County. Crystal Lakes sits inland on ground about 15.6 feet above sea level, so wind and rain, not surge, are the main storm exposure here.

What the county damage layer shows

No damage point was recorded nearby in the county's initial damage layer: Lee County's Initial Damage Assessments layer, 915 points, has none within 800 meters of the community, checked October 28, 2026. That is an absence of a record, not a finding that no home was damaged. No Crystal Lakes specific effect from Helene or Milton in 2024 was found in the records read.

Flood insurance in Zone X

Flood insurance is not federally required for a federally backed mortgage in Zone X, but it can be bought, and Zone X is not a statement that a lot cannot hold rainwater. Ask an independent insurance agent for a quote on the exact home. We give no premium figures.

How old are Crystal Lakes homes, and why does it matter?

Crystal Lakes homes on the 2026 county roll were built from 1973 to 2023, with a median of 2003, and 81 of the 283 (28.6 percent) were built before the 1994 HUD wind standards. Home age shapes the wind design standard, the insurance inspection rules and financing questions, so check the year built on every listing. Data updated: October 2026.

Home era at Crystal Lakes

Built	Homes	Share of 283
Before 1976	2	0.7%
1976 to 1993	79	27.9%
1994 to 1999	43	15.2%
2000 to 2007	111	39.2%
2008 to 2017	10	3.5%
2018 or later	38	13.4%

Source: Lee County parcel layer year-built field for the 283 improved parcels, October 28, 2026. The peak years were 2005 (41 homes) and 2006 (31). The year-built field is the appraiser's record for the home now on the lot.

HUD Wind Zone III

Federal manufactured home standards at 24 CFR 3280.305 divide the country into wind zones, and Lee County, Florida is on the Wind Zone III list, the zone designed for 110 mph winds; Wind Zone II is designed for 100 mph. Homes built before the 1994 wind-zone requirements were built to older standards, which is why the 81 pre-1994 Crystal Lakes homes are worth a closer look.

Florida installation and tie-down rules

Florida Administrative Code rules 15C-1.0102 and 15C-1.0104 govern how manufactured homes are installed and anchored in the state. Ask the seller for the home's installation and tie-down records, and have the anchoring checked during the inspection period.

Insurance rules tied to home and roof age

Citizens Property Insurance requires a four-point inspection for mobile home applications on properties more than 20 years old. For roofs older than 25 years (shingle-type) or 50 years (tile, metal and similar), Citizens needs proof of at least five years of remaining useful life. Florida law bars an insurer from refusing to write or renew solely because a roof is under 15 years old. Ask an independent agent before you make an offer.

Which schools serve Crystal Lakes addresses?

Crystal Lakes is in Lee County elementary proximity Zone D, middle Zone JJ and high school East Zone 2 for 2026-27, on the county's school proximity layer. Lee County assigns students by choice among the schools in a zone, not to one neighborhood school, so confirm any address with the district's school zone tool.

How Lee County school choice works

Under the School District of Lee County's 2026-27 Student Enrollment Plan, applicants rank schools within their proximity zone and seats are assigned through the district process. Zone D lists Alva, James Stephens, Manatee, Orange River, River Hall and Tice elementary schools; Zone JJ lists Harns Marsh, Oak Hammock and Varsity Lakes middle schools; East Zone 2 lists Dunbar, East Lee County, Gateway, Lehigh Senior and Riverdale high schools. Students living within 2 miles of their school get no district bus.

How to read the comparison table

The three counts use each community's legal names on the county roll, so they can differ from association totals; Crystal Lakes' 283 homes sit on 336 condominium parcels. The three communities sell different products, manufactured homes, condominiums and single-family homes, and the product mix moves every median. Province Park's median heated area is the county group figure across both its condominiums and houses.

Do you own the land at Crystal Lakes?

Yes, for owner-held units.

Yes, by the operator's description: its community page, read October 28, 2026, calls Crystal Lakes a gated community, and 2026 MLS listing data names security among the items the association fee covers. Gate staffing and hours were not published in the sources we read, so ask the association how visitor access works.

What amenities does Crystal Lakes have?

The operator's community page lists a gated entrance, a clubhouse, a swimming pool, tennis courts, pickleball and shuffleboard, with photos of a lake and gazebo. The county roll places a recreation area and a storage area among six common tracts. No golf course, fitness center or restaurant appears in any source read for this page.

Can I rent out a home in Crystal Lakes?

Crystal Lakes rental rules are not published. The operator offers an annual rental tour option for operator-held homes, but any owner leasing rule, minimum term or approval step sits in the recorded declaration and association rules, which were not retrievable online. Ask the association in writing before you buy a home you plan to lease.

Are pets allowed at Crystal Lakes?

Crystal Lakes pet rules are set by the recorded association rules, which were not published online, and the secondary sources we saw conflict on a weight limit, so this page prints none. Ask the association for the current pet rule, including any weight, breed or registration requirement, before you buy if you plan to bring a pet.

Is Crystal Lakes in a flood zone?

Crystal Lakes is in FEMA Zone X: all 336 county parcels fall in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, on panel 12071C0291G, effective November 17, 2022, checked October 28, 2026.

What hurricane evacuation zone is Crystal Lakes in?

Lee County places Crystal Lakes in Evacuation Zone D, storm surge zone 4.

Check the current order before every storm.

Did Hurricane Ian damage Crystal Lakes?

No damage point was recorded nearby in the county's initial damage layer: Lee County's 915-point Initial Damage Assessments layer has none within 800 meters of Crystal Lakes.

What wind zone are Crystal Lakes homes built for?

Lee County is in HUD Wind Zone III under 24 CFR 3280.305, the manufactured home design zone for 110 mph winds. Homes built before the 1994 wind-zone requirements were built to older standards, and 81 of the 283 Crystal Lakes homes, 28.6 percent, predate them on the 2026 county roll. Check each listing's year built.

Can older manufactured homes in Crystal Lakes get insurance?

Often, but insurers look at age. Citizens Property Insurance requires a four-point inspection for mobile home applications on properties over 20 years old, and for older roofs it needs proof of at least five years of remaining useful life. Florida law bars refusal solely for a roof under 15 years old. Ask an independent agent.
