The newest qualified sale anywhere in the Lee County file is September 25, 2026; the newest recorded Esplanade Lake Club sale is September 4, 2026. The county median rose 14.5 percent, from $776,230 to $888,473, while the number of recorded sales fell from 167 to 79, a drop of 52.7 percent.

The Esplanade Lake Club price trend by year

The county record starts in 2020, when the first homes closed. Builder-direct sales made up most of the count through 2024, and the yearly median moves with the mix of plats and product that closed in that year.

Year	Sales	Median	Single family (sales / median)	Condo (sales / median)	Builder-direct sales	Median $ per heated sq ft
2020	41	$692,319	41 / $692,319	none	41	$250

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale files by calendar year. Builder-direct is estimated as the first qualified sale within one year of the year built. The peak counts were 221 sales in 2023 and 224 in 2024, the years the Venetian condominiums closed (22 and 71 condominium sales), and the highest yearly median in the series is $902,281 in 2025. The 2026 line runs through the newest recorded Esplanade Lake Club sale, September 4, 2026.

Price bands in the last 12 months

Of the 79 recorded sales, none closed below $300,000, 3 closed between $300,000 and $400,000, 10 between $400,000 and $500,000, 14 between $500,000 and $750,000, 25 between $750,000 and $1,000,000, 22 between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000 and 5 between $2,000,000 and $5,000,000.

The highest qualified Esplanade Lake Club sale anywhere in the county file is $3,687,500 for 11361 Venetian Lagoon Dr, recorded December 12, 2024, a 4,892 square foot single-family home built in 2023.

Builder-direct sales and resales

Of the 79 recorded sales in the latest 12 months, 28 (35.4 percent) were builder-direct, at a $940,604 median from $712,793 to $1,501,521, and 51 were resales at a $770,000 median from $365,000 to $2,775,000. Twenty-five of the 28 builder-direct sales were in Plat Six and 3 were in Plat Five B (derived from the county sale list). Only 3 builder-direct sales are recorded so far in 2026.

Price per square foot in Esplanade Lake Club

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 $361 per square foot for all homes, $389 for single-family homes and $266 for condominiums, against $337, $384 and $268 in the prior 12 months. By plat group, the 12-month sale list gives a median of about $559 per heated square foot in the original plats (17 sales), $346 in Plat Four A (21 sales) and $266 in Venetian I (6 sales). Twenty-nine of the 79 sale rows, mostly new 2025 and 2026 builds, show no heated area on the county file, so they are left out of every dollar-per-square-foot figure.

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 or how many homes are for sale today. Those are MLS fields, and they are being added in our next data refresh; the listing links above show current inventory now. The file also does not show lot setting, upgrades or condition, which is why two homes of the same size can record very different prices.

Esplanade Lake Club neighborhoods compared

Esplanade Lake Club is eight plat and condominium groups on the Lee County roll, from the original plats to Plat Six, still building in 2025 and 2026. The plat decides the product, the size and most of the price. The table shows each group's homes and its sales over 24 months. Data updated: October 2026.

Plat group (county legal name)	Homes	Product	Year built	Median heated sq ft	24-month sales	24-month median
Esplanade Lake Club (original plats)	269	Single family	2019 to 2024	3,090	38	$1,708,750
Plat Four A	210	Single family	2022 to 2024	1,581	37	$600,000
Plat Five B	95	Single family	2024 to 2025	2,399	59	$813,375
Venetian I	56	Condominium	2023 to 2025	1,520	33	$420,000
Plat Six	54	Single family	2025 to 2026	blank on the roll	54	$1,151,116
Venetian II	40	Condominium	2023 to 2024	1,520	24	$400,750
Plat Five A	27	Single family	2023	3,126	1	$1,350,000
Venetian II (separate legal spelling)	8	Condominium	2024	1,520	0	none

Source: Lee County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified sales, grouped by the short legal description, 24 months to the October 27, 2026 index. A median of one sale is a single price, not a market. Plat Six homes are too new for a heated area on the roll.

The original plats (Phase 1 and Phase 2)

The original plats hold 269 single-family homes built 2019 to 2024, with a 3,090 square foot median heated area, the largest median of any group with a recorded size. They recorded 38 sales in 24 months at a $1,708,750 median. In the latest 12 months the county recorded 17 sales here at a $1,675,000 median, from $485,000 to $2,775,000 (derived from the county sale list), and all five of the highest 12-month sales listed above came from these plats.

The 1,581 square foot homes inside the original plats

Not every original-plat home is large. The county sale list shows 1,581 square foot homes on Canal Grande Dr and Terracina Dr selling inside the 12-month window: 12230 Canal Grande Dr at $485,000 on March 19, 2026, 12351 Canal Grande Dr at $615,000 on March 13, 2026, and 12091 Canal Grande Dr at $950,000 on March 3, 2026. The same recorded size spanned $485,000 to $950,000, and the county file does not say why, so compare lot setting and condition home by home.

Plat Four A

Plat Four A is 210 single-family parcels built 2022 to 2024 with a 1,581 square foot median heated area. It recorded 37 sales in 24 months at a $600,000 median. The Lee County development record describes Phase Four as a 210-lot subdivision with 122 two-family attached lots and 88 single-family lots on 53.38 acres, and the 2019 district plan counted 186 "Twin Villas" in the 30 to 39 foot lot class. The county roll does not use the villa label, so confirm a home's product type in the listing.

Larger homes inside Plat Four A

Plat Four A sales are not all small. The 12-month sale list shows 1,581 square foot homes on Corsini Dr and Sacra Pl from $475,000 to $635,000, and homes of 1,921 to 2,436 square feet, mostly on Caravita Ln and Noveli Ct, from $665,000 to $970,000. In all, Plat Four A recorded 21 sales in the latest 12 months at a $587,000 median, from $475,000 to $970,000 (derived from the county sale list).

Plat Five A

Plat Five A is 27 single-family homes built in 2023 with a 3,126 square foot median heated area. Only one sale was recorded in 24 months: 17554 Terracina Dr at $1,350,000 on October 7, 2025, a 2,373 square foot home built in 2023. Plat Five A listings are rare.

Plat Five B

Plat Five B is 95 single-family homes built 2024 to 2025 with a 2,399 square foot median heated area. It recorded 59 sales in 24 months at an $813,375 median, the most of any plat. In the latest 12 months it recorded 7 sales at an $845,000 median, from $775,000 to $1,650,000, three of them builder-direct (derived from the county sale list). Raggio Dr and Terracina Dr are among its streets.

Plat Six

Plat Six is 54 single-family homes built 2025 to 2026, with 54 sales recorded in the 24-month window at a $1,151,116 median. In the latest 12 months the county recorded 26 Plat Six sales at a $1,011,818.50 median, from $712,793 to $1,501,521, and 25 of them were builder-direct (derived from the county sale list). Plat Six is on Terracina Dr and Bellissimo Ct.

Venetian I and Venetian II condominiums

The Venetian condominiums are 104 homes in total on the county roll (Venetian I with 56, Venetian II with 40 plus 8 under a second legal spelling), all two-bedroom units of 1,520 heated square feet built 2023 to 2025. The Lee County development record lists 104 low-rise multifamily units in 13 two-story buildings, and Taylor Morrison's condominium page says the units include a detached one-car garage. Venetian I recorded 33 sales in 24 months at a $420,000 median and Venetian II 24 sales at $400,750. Twelve-month condominium sales ran from $365,000 to $420,000. Our Fort Myers condos for sale page covers the wider condominium market.

Lake and canal lots

Of the 759 home parcels, the county roll marks the land view as lake for 398 parcels and canal for 205; 156 carry no land view. Water-view parcels are common here, but lake and canal views are county data fields, not a statement about dock rights, which vary by lot and are covered in the boating section below.

Pools, stories and garages

The county roll shows a pool on 300 of the 759 homes (40 percent) and a garage on 89 percent. It lists 525 homes as one story and 160 as two stories, with 74 blank. Single-family parcels have a median lot of 0.192 acre and condominium parcels 0.049 acre.

Taylor Morrison and Seagate homes

Taylor Morrison's builder pages list single-family homes of 1,856 to 3,502 square feet; Seagate Development Group's custom lakefront homes run 3,150 to 4,896 square feet; and the condominiums are 1,520 square foot two-bedroom units (builder pages and the county roll, 2026). The county roll's single-family median heated area is 2,376 square feet, with a range of 1,581 to 4,896.

Is Esplanade Lake Club age restricted?

No age restriction appears in the public documents. Esplanade Lake Club's association FAQ, its architectural review package and Taylor Morrison's materials contain no age rule. The recorded Declaration controls, and the association says it is available to members and comes with the resale package, so a buyer should read it before closing. Data updated: October 2026.

What the public documents say

The association's September 2023 FAQ calls residents homeowners and sets no occupancy age. The December 2022 architectural review package and Taylor Morrison's community pages are equally silent. We read all three, but we did not read the recorded Declaration, which is the instrument that would hold any age rule.

Why the recorded Declaration decides

Federal and Florida law let a community qualify as housing for older persons only through a recorded declaration that states the intent, plus at least 80 percent of occupied units with an occupant of the qualifying age (24 CFR 100.304 and Florida Statutes section 760.29). Nothing we read indicates Esplanade Lake Club has that status, but only the Declaration can confirm it.

Is Esplanade Lake Club gated?

Yes. Esplanade Lake Club is a gated community. The association's September 2023 FAQ describes a visitor lane with a gate attendant and a resident lane that uses key fobs, and gated entry is part of what the master association fee covers. Gate staffing hours are not published in any document we read. Data updated: October 2026.

Who runs the gates

The association runs the gates and the amenities. The Community Development District does not: its FY2027 budget covers lakes, banks, preserves, stormwater and the Alico Road, Center Place Boulevard and Eagle Key landscape, and the district's own website says special districts have no zoning, land use or police powers.

What a buyer should ask about entry

Published sources do not state guard hours, guest procedures or fob rules, so ask the association's management office in writing how guests, vendors and delivery drivers are admitted and what a new owner needs to register. Our agents will request the same list with the resale package.

Is a club membership required at Esplanade Lake Club?

No equity club or golf membership appears in the public record. Esplanade Lake Club amenities are funded through the master association, and an annual food and beverage minimum is tracked in the Clubhouse Online account. The association sets the amount, and published figures conflict, so none is printed here. Data updated: October 2026.

The food and beverage minimum

A builder-era fee sheet and a 2023 Troon FAQ give different dollar amounts for the minimum, so confirm the current amount in the resale documents and ask whether it is charged automatically to each household. It is a spend floor at the Bahama Bar and Grille, not an initiation fee.

No golf course in Esplanade Lake Club

There is no golf course inside Esplanade Lake Club, and the association does not run a golf membership. Search results for golf memberships under similar names refer to other communities and clubs. If golf matters to you, read any neighboring club's membership terms separately, because they are not part of an Esplanade Lake Club purchase.

Leasing and rental rules in Esplanade Lake Club

Esplanade Lake Club homes can be leased only with approval. The association's FAQ says a lease must be approved by the Board of Directors, and the Community Association Manager handles lease applications. The minimum term, the number of leases allowed per year and any cap are in the governing documents and are not public. Data updated: October 2026.

What to request before you plan to rent

Ask for the Declaration's use restrictions, the current Rules and Regulations and the lease application, and read them before making an offer. Do not rely on a listing remark for a minimum lease term. The Venetian I and II condominium associations may add their own rules, and their budgets and declarations are not public.

Pets, parking and other published rules

The September 2023 FAQ allows a reasonable number of domestic pets and bars dangerous or vicious breeds, forbids overnight street parking, and says hurricane shutters may not cover openings until an official storm warning. Exterior changes, paint colors, roofing, pools, fences, solar, storm shutters and golf carts on community streets need architectural review approval, and the review application fee is $35.

What does it cost to own in Esplanade Lake Club?

Esplanade Lake Club ownership costs stack in four layers: property tax at the district 071 rate, the district assessment on the November tax bill, quarterly master association dues, and any condominium association fee. The annual food and beverage minimum is extra. We print only figures with a dated source. Data updated: October 2026.

Esplanade Lake Club is inside its own Community Development District, a Chapter 190 special district created by Lee County Ordinance 18-21 in September 2018. For FY2027 (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027) the board adopted a flat operations and maintenance charge of $1,365.05 per unit, up 4.5 percent from $1,306.58 in FY2026, plus a debt charge by lot class that did not change. The assessment appears as a non-ad valorem line on the Lee County tax bill.

Product (units)	Debt, FY2027	Operations, FY2027	FY2027 total	FY2026 total
Condominium, 30 to 39 ft (104)	$726.15	$1,365.05	$2,091.20	$2,032.73
Single family, 30 to 39 ft (186)	$1,031.41	$1,365.05	$2,396.46	$2,337.99
Single family, 50 to 59 ft (182)	$1,411.80	$1,365.05	$2,776.85	$2,718.38
Single family, 60 to 69 ft (149)	$1,633.75	$1,365.05	$2,998.80	$2,940.33
Single family, 70 to 79 ft (83)	$1,870.97	$1,365.05	$3,236.02	$3,177.55

Source: Esplanade Lake Club CDD adopted FY2027 budget, June 11, 2026. The district billed 809 units for FY2027, a correction from 819 in FY2026, and the operations cap rate adopted in FY2024 is $1,370.49. The product labels are the budget's own and are not the plat names.

What the district pays for

The FY2027 budget shows $1,104,324 of on-roll operations assessments (FY2026 adopted: $1,070,089). Lines include $60,000 for the district manager, $47,500 each for accounting and the assessment roll, $19,323 for insurance, $42,000 for stormwater asset management, $65,000 for aquatic weed control, $36,000 for lake bank maintenance, $69,000 for Lee County water quality reporting, $101,000 for landscape along Alico Road, Center Place Boulevard and Eagle Key, and a $100,000 reserve appropriation (FY2026: $175,000). Cane toad removal ($29,000) is a new FY2027 line, and the budgeted September 30 ending fund balance is $906,744.

The district's bonds

The district issued Series 2019A-1 ($14,840,000) and Series 2019A-2 ($7,465,000 per the audit) on December 20, 2019, both maturing November 1, 2050, and Series 2025 ($2,505,000) on May 29, 2025, maturing in 2055 with the last principal payment May 1, 2055. The budget projects $12,840,000 of Series 2019A-1 and $2,430,000 of Series 2025 outstanding at September 30, 2027, and Series 2019A-2 is mostly prepaid, with under $1,000,000 remaining.

Paying off the district debt early

A buyer on resale takes the remaining annual assessment; no payoff is required at closing unless the buyer elects it. The district's website says an owner may prepay principal early through the District Manager. The November tax bill carries a 4 percent early-payment discount, which applies to the full bill.

Master association dues

Esplanade Lake Club master dues are billed quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, and they vary by lot. The current dollar schedule is behind the member login, so the association's resale disclosure is the document that states the amount for a specific home. The September 2023 FAQ lists what the dues cover: mowing, trimming, edging, weeding, lawn and shrub pest control and irrigation for the lots, plus the gates, amenities, master irrigation and common-area landscape.

Condominium association dues

The Venetian I and II condominium associations bill separately from the master association. Their budgets are not public, so a buyer of a Venetian unit should ask for the condominium budget, the reserve schedule and the estoppel certificate before an offer.

Resale capital contribution and the estoppel certificate

We could not confirm a resale capital contribution amount in a public document, so we print none. Ask the Community Association Manager for the capital contribution schedule. Florida's homeowners' association law requires the association to give an estoppel certificate on request, with a statutory fee cap, and that certificate lists any amount due at closing (Florida Statutes 720.30851).

Utilities, trash and internet

The September 2023 FAQ says Waste Pro collects trash on Fridays and that both CenturyLink and Comcast serve the community, with no bulk internet plan. Confirm the current provider and any plan on the seller's bill.

A worked yearly cost example

The tax arithmetic below uses the county's median taxable value on the 2026 roll for each product, at 12.8482 mills, and is illustrative only. A single-family home at the median taxable value of $760,624 pays $9,772.65 in property tax; in the 60 to 69 foot lot class the FY2027 district assessment adds $2,998.80, for $12,771.45 before master association dues, insurance and utilities. A condominium at the median taxable value of $313,415 pays $4,026.82 plus the $2,091.20 district assessment, for $6,118.02.

Line	Single family (illustrative)	Condominium (illustrative)
Taxable value (2026 roll median)	$760,624	$313,415
Property tax (taxable value x 12.8482 / 1,000)	$9,772.65	$4,026.82
CDD, FY2027	$2,998.80 (60 to 69 ft class)	$2,091.20
Total before association dues	$12,771.45	$6,118.02

A buyer's first-year taxable value is based on the purchase price, not the seller's capped value. At the 12-month median sale price of $888,473, the same 12.8482 mills would be $11,415.28 before exemptions. Ask the seller for the latest tax notice and run the exact bill for the home you are weighing.

What amenities does Esplanade Lake Club have?

Esplanade Lake Club amenities, per Taylor Morrison and the association, include a heated resort-style pool, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball and bocce courts, a dog park, the Bahama Bar and Grille, a walking trail, a boat ramp and kayak launch, and spa and wellness programs. Hours and fees are not published. Data updated: October 2026.

Pool, fitness and spa

Taylor Morrison's community page lists a heated resort-style pool, a fitness center, movement studios, outdoor space for yoga or meditation, and full-service locker rooms with showers. The association's contact sheet of October 2024 names a Lifestyle Manager, a Community Association Manager and a Resort Manager on the on-site team at 11501 Canal Grande Drive. Current availability and hours of the spa room and treatment services are not published, so confirm them with the association.

Courts, trails and the dog park

The builder lists tennis, pickleball and bocce courts, a walking trail and a Bark Park dog park, and the community website calls the clubhouse and event space The Venue. Court reservation rules and lighting hours are not in a public document.

Dining at the Bahama Bar and Grille

The Bahama Bar and Grille is the on-site outdoor restaurant and bar, and Taylor Morrison also lists The Toasted Cafe. We found no first-party hours for either venue, so check the association's amenity schedule on the member site. Food and beverage purchases count toward the annual minimum described above.

Boat ramp, kayak launch and community dock

Taylor Morrison's page lists a boat ramp and kayak launch, a floating pier and a community dock on the waterfront trail. Listing materials that quote the master fee exhibit also mention wet slips and dry boat storage, which we could not confirm in an association document. The rules that govern them are in the lake section that follows.

What is Lake Como at Esplanade Lake Club?

Lake Como is the freshwater lake at the center of Esplanade Lake Club, about 352 acres, shared with the neighboring Miromar Lakes community. The News-Press reported the 352-acre figure in October 2020. Boats up to 23 feet are allowed, with no jet skis, under a 2023 association FAQ. Data updated: October 2026.

Who maintains the lake

The Esplanade Lake Club CDD maintains the interior bodies of water, lake banks and the nature preserve inside the gates, and the district and the association maintain canals and lake banks together, according to the September 2023 FAQ. The district's FY2027 budget includes $65,000 for aquatic weed control and $36,000 for lake bank maintenance.

How the lake cost is shared with Miromar Lakes

Both neighboring districts split lake maintenance about 60 percent Miromar Lakes and 40 percent Esplanade Lake Club, based on unit counts, according to the Esplanade Lake Club CDD's June 2025 board minutes. The Esplanade district also maintains lakes added in the 2025 annexation near Florida Gulf Coast University.

Boating rules

The September 2023 FAQ allows boats up to 23 feet, bars jet skis on the lakes, allows no permanent boat storage and offers day-trailer parking at the ramp, with catch-and-release fishing in permitted areas. That FAQ is more than three years old, so ask for the current Rules and Regulations before you buy a boat.

Private docks

Private docks are allowed only on designated dock lots. The December 2022 architectural review package limits a dock to 35 feet from the control elevation and sets a non-refundable fee for any after-market private boat dock. Ask the association whether a specific lot carries dock rights before you count on one.

Is Esplanade Lake Club in a flood zone?

Esplanade Lake Club is mapped in FEMA Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, not a special flood hazard area. A National Flood Hazard Layer query for the community returned exactly one polygon, with no base flood elevation, on panel 12071C0582F, effective August 28, 2008. Zone X is not zero risk, so confirm each address. Data updated: October 2026.

What the FEMA census shows

The query covered the envelope from latitude 26.4738 to 26.4923 and longitude -81.7799 to -81.7570, which contains all 759 home parcels, and returned one Zone X polygon (id 12071C_11269) that is not a special flood hazard area. A separate 30-parcel sample found 30 of 30 in Zone X. The nearest Zone AE polygon begins about 2 miles from the community's median point, toward I-75.

Letters of map change

Two Letters of Map Revision touch the wider search area: case 23-04-0622P, effective February 1, 2023, and case 22-04-3792P, effective August 8, 2022 (superseded). They are not shown to change the community's own Zone X. A flood zone determination or an elevation certificate for the exact address is the document that decides flood insurance.

The March 2, 2027 map revision

FEMA's Letters of Final Determination page lists an effective date of March 2, 2027 for Lee County (Unincorporated Areas), community 125124, with a letter dated September 2, 2026, and the community is in unincorporated Lee County. We did not confirm which panels change, so recheck the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for your address after March 2, 2027.

Evacuation zone

Lee County's evacuation layer places the entire community in Zone D (surge zone 4); Lee's zones run A to E by increasing elevation. An evacuation zone measures storm surge exposure and is separate from a FEMA flood zone. During Hurricane Ian the county ordered Zones A and B and then parts of Zone C; we found no Zone D order in the records we opened.

Hurricane Ian at Esplanade Lake Club

Hurricane Ian made landfall in September 2022, and the National Hurricane Center measured peak surge of 10 to 15 feet above ground at Fort Myers Beach and Estero Island, about 12 miles from the community in a straight line. The only first-party storm item we found is the Esplanade Lake Club CDD's April 13, 2023 agenda, which records damage to the rip rap on the north side of Lake Como and erosion needing several thousand dollars of repair. Nothing we read documents home flooding or wind damage community-wide either way.

Hurricanes Helene and Milton

Hurricane Milton in October 2024 brought a 5.27-foot reading above MHHW at the Fort Myers tide gauge, and Southwest Florida International Airport recorded a 41-knot maximum sustained wind, a 56-knot gust and 1.33 inches of rain, according to the National Hurricane Center. Effects on Esplanade Lake Club from Helene or Milton are not documented in any record we opened.

Flood and wind insurance notes

FEMA's guide for community members says about 25 percent of National Flood Insurance Program claims come from Zone X policyholders, so a flood quote is worth getting even in Zone X. Florida Building Code, Eighth Edition took effect December 31, 2023, and the edition that applied to a home depends on its permit application date. Ask for the seller's wind mitigation inspection, roof permit and any elevation certificate. We print no premium figures.

Flood disclosure and the Community Rating System

Florida Statutes section 689.302 requires a seller of residential property to give the statutory flood disclosure at or before contract, as amended effective October 1, 2025. We did not confirm unincorporated Lee County's current Community Rating System class, so check FEMA's eligible-community list before you assume a premium discount.

Which schools serve Esplanade Lake Club addresses?

Esplanade Lake Club addresses are in the School District of Lee County's 2026-27 elementary choice zone Q, middle zone GG and high school South Zone sub-zone 2. Families rank schools within those choice zones, and the district decides assignment, so no school is guaranteed. Use the district's school locator for an exact address. Data updated: October 2026.

How Lee County school choice works

The 2026-2027 Student Enrollment Plan, approved December 1, 2025, assigns elementary and middle students through proximity zones and high school through three residential choice zones. The district says its locator provides general information and that capacity limits can place a child at a different school. This page therefore describes choice zones, never a "zoned for" school.

Schools in the 2026-27 choice zone lists

Level	Zone	Schools in the district's lists
Elementary	Q	Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos Park, Spring Creek, Three Oaks
Middle	GG	Bonita Springs Middle Center for the Arts, Three Oaks Middle
High	South Zone, sub-zone 2	Bonita Springs, Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Estero, Fort Myers, South Fort Myers

Source: Lee County GIS school proximity zones 2026-27 (data downloaded May 14, 2026) and the district's Student Enrollment Plan 2026-2027. The sub-zone 2 high school list is split across a page break in the district's PDF, so confirm it in the locator. Gateway Elementary, Treeline Elementary and Gateway High are not in these lists.

Fire and EMS stations

Emergency response comes from San Carlos Fire (taxing district 071). Lee County's capital list shows an EMS Station-Alico in the planning stage at an estimated $3,596,000 with no start or end date, about 0.9 mile from the community, and an EMS Station-Treeline under construction from September 29, 2025 to January 29, 2027 at $5,096,000, 4.55 miles away. Neither changes today's response.

Where is Esplanade Lake Club?

Esplanade Lake Club is east of I-75 off Alico Road, ZIP 33913, in unincorporated Lee County. The I-75 ramp at Alico Road (Exit 128) is 2.3 road miles away, Gulf Coast Town Center is 2.8 and Southwest Florida International Airport is 8.5 road miles, about 17 minutes. Data updated: October 2026.

Why the airport is 8.5 miles by road

Southwest Florida International Airport is about 3.4 miles from the community in a straight line, but the road route runs around the airfield, so the drive is 8.5 miles. The airport describes itself as roughly three miles east of I-75 Exit 128. Whether any part of the community falls inside an airport noise contour has not been checked.

Is Esplanade Lake Club in the City of Fort Myers?

No. All of the community's parcels are in unincorporated Lee County, with zoning area ULC and Lee County planned development zoning, and in taxing district 071, San Carlos Fire. Fort Myers is the postal city for ZIP 33913. The Village of Estero does not include it either. Lee County Ordinance 18-21 created the community's development district.

Straight-line distances not routed by road

Two anchors were measured only in a straight line from the community's median parcel point: the Sanibel Causeway toll plaza at 15.5 miles and Bell Tower Shops at 8.5 miles. Road distances to both are longer, and neither has been routed yet.

What is changing near Esplanade Lake Club

The Lee County capital and development layers, queried October 28, 2026, show the following dated work near the community. Dates are the county's planned dates and can change.

Item	Status and dates in the county record	Distance

Build-out and construction nearby

Lee's development activity layer lists Esplanade Lake Club Phase 5B (95 lots) and Phase 6 (106 lots) at the status "Development Order" and Phase 4 (210 lots) as under construction, while the county roll already shows 95 homes in Plat Five B and 54 in Plat Six, so the layer's status is not a measure of what is built. The county parcel roll shows 55 vacant residential parcels. The surrounding Centerplace planned development allows up to 1,950 residential units and 200,000 square feet of retail.

Neighbors within about a mile

Within about 0.4 mile the county lists Center Place Apartments (300 units), The Villages at Gulf Coast (80 single-family and 60 two-family attached homes), a 7-Eleven with fuel and up to 62,552 square feet of Center Place retail. Within about a mile it lists the Florida Gulf Coast Technology and Research Park (ITEC Park), Wildblue (1,096 residential units, under construction) and Cemex quarry permits east of Alico Road. These are records of approvals and permits, not forecasts.

How Esplanade Lake Club compares with nearby communities

Esplanade Lake Club had the highest median sale price and the highest price per heated square foot of the four Fort Myers communities in the table, on the Lee County record for the same 12 months.

How to read the comparison table

The four counts use each community's plat names on the county roll, so they can differ from association totals. Each community's mix of single-family homes and condominiums moves its overall median: Esplanade Lake Club's single-family median is $915,000 and its condominium median $405,000, Paseo's are $675,000 and $330,000, and Pelican Preserve's are $455,000 and $352,500. Timber Creek has no condominiums on its roll.

The history of Esplanade Lake Club

Esplanade Lake Club began as a Taylor Morrison entitlement: Lee County rezoned the land to a mixed use planned development (ordinance Z-17-014), created the community development district by Ordinance 18-21 in 2018, and recorded the first plat in 2019. The first homes closed in 2020, and Taylor Morrison's page now lists the community as sold out. Data updated: October 2026.

Taylor Morrison and the master plan

Taylor Morrison of Florida is the developer and primary builder. The master development covers about 886 acres and allows up to 1,950 dwelling units overall, while the district covers about 778.93 acres. In its December 2019 engineer's report, the district counted 653 planned units: 186 twin villas, 224 lots of 52 feet, 155 of 62 feet, 77 of 76 feet and 11 of 90 feet, plus a 53-unit expansion.

Seagate Development Group's lakefront homes

Taylor Morrison selected Seagate Development Group in April 2019 as the exclusive custom builder for 11 lakefront sites, with the Monaco, Santorini and Genova models, according to Seagate and the Naples Daily News. A later Seagate release described eight custom homes in progress and the last five homesites under contract.

Pulte's role in the district records

Pulte Home Company LLC appears as owner of two 0.13-acre twin-villa parcels in the district's 2019 assessment roll, and the association FAQ lists a Pulte warranty contact, so Pulte built or planned some product here. How many homes it built is not published.

Resident control of the district and association

The district had 1,115 registered voters by April 15, 2025, and the transition to an elected board of resident electors had begun; two supervisor seats expire in November 2026, according to the district's October 9, 2025 agenda and its website. Troon Management handles association management and accounting.

Why the build-out matters to a buyer

Because Phase 4 is under construction and later phases are at the development-order stage in the county layer, a buyer should expect builder traffic and lot work to continue and should ask which phases are still open. Sales of new homes by the builder have also shifted the county's yearly medians, as the tables above show.

Yes, an annual minimum applies, tracked as "Annual Minimum to Spend" in the Clubhouse Online account, according to the association's FAQ.

Can I rent out a home in Esplanade Lake Club?

Only with approval. The association's FAQ says a lease must be approved by the Board of Directors, and the Community Association Manager handles lease applications.

The association's September 2023 FAQ allows boats up to 23 feet, bars jet skis on the lakes and permits no permanent boat storage, with day-trailer parking at the ramp. Private docks are allowed only on designated dock lots. That FAQ is more than three years old, so confirm the current rules.
