Source: Lee County Property Appraiser sale and parcel files, DOR-qualified improved sales over $1,000, index built October 27, 2026. The 12-month window runs September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026, the newest qualified sale anywhere in the Lee County file; the newest Legends sale inside it was recorded August 25, 2026. All 72 sales were resales: none was a builder-direct sale. The county median moved down 5.2 percent, from $316,000 to $299,500, while the number of sales rose from 67 to 72. Condominium sales held at 48 in both windows, so the rise came from single-family homes, which went from 19 sales to 24.
The Legends price trend since 2015
The county record shows a long flat stretch, a sharp rise from 2021 to 2024 and an easing since. Every year in the table is a resale year: Legends was finished in 2005, so no builder-direct sale appears from 2015 on.
| Year | Sales | Median | Single family (sales / median) | Condo (sales / median) | Builder-direct sales | Median $ per heated sq ft |

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 2024 median of $370,000 and the 2023 per-square-foot peak of $271 are the high points of the series; the 2019 count of 112 sales is the busiest year. Each year's overall median moves with the mix: in 2021, 78 of the 98 sales were condominiums, which held the median at $243,250 even as single-family prices climbed.
Price bands in the last 12 months
Of the 72 recorded Legends sales, 36 closed at $300,000 or less, 14 between $300,000 and $400,000, 9 between $400,000 and $500,000, and 13 between $500,000 and $750,000. No Legends sale in the window reached $750,000. Half of all sales sat in the lowest band, and every one of those was a condominium; the $500,000 to $750,000 band was all single-family homes on Brittania Drive, Devington Way, Langshire Way and Nottingham Pointe Way.

The highest qualified Legends sale anywhere in the county file is $1,000,000 for 14582 New Hampton Pl, recorded April 25, 2022, a 2,762 square foot single-family home built in 2000. The prior 12-month window's high of $976,000 is the closest any sale has come since.
Price per square foot in Legends
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 $231 per square foot for all homes, $287 for single-family homes and $210 for condominiums. The calendar-year peak was $271 in 2023, and the 2026 year to date sits at $222. Over 24 months the all-homes figure was $242.
Condominium prices by floor plan size
Legends condominiums come in a small set of repeated floor plans, so the county's heated area is a useful shortcut to price. The table groups the 48 condominium sales of the last 12 months by recorded heated area. The medians are derived from the county's sale-by-sale list, and a median of one to five sales is a range, not a price.
| Heated sq ft (county) | 12-month sales | Median | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1,095 | 10 | $244,500 | $210,000 | $287,000 |
| 1,176 | 4 | $274,500 | $242,000 | $315,000 |

Source: derived from Lee County Property Appraiser qualified sales, September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026. The 1,422 square foot plans, on Sherbrook Place, Bristol Bay Place and Legends Boulevard North, recorded the highest condominium median, and the top condominium sale of the window was $370,000 for 14561 Legends Blvd N #308, recorded May 8, 2026.
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, the condition or updates, 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 county file also cannot show which homes carry a golf membership rather than a social one, which is set in the club and association documents for each home.

The single-family groups are named for their plats, not for a marketed neighborhood, and the county counts one Unit 2 home fewer than the live parcel layer. A median of one to five sales is a range, not a price.
Brittania Drive and New Hampton Place: Units 1 and 2
The first Legends plats, recorded as Legends Golf & Country Club Units 1 and 2, hold 156 single-family homes built 1998 to 2001 on Brittania Drive and New Hampton Place, with a median heated area of 1,824 square feet.

On FEMA's map these homes sit on panels 0439H (77 homes) and 0445F (79 homes), all in Zone X.

Huntington I and II of Legends
Huntington is two condominium villages of 36 homes each, built in 2002 on Sherbrook Place, with a 1,339 square foot median heated area. Huntington I recorded 5 sales in 24 months at a $300,000 median and Huntington II 3 at $280,000. In the latest 12 months the three Huntington sales ran from $250,000 to $300,000, and both villages sit on FEMA panel 0439H.
What kinds of homes are in Legends Golf & Country Club?
Legends Golf & Country Club is mostly condominium: the Lee County roll counts 792 condominiums (61.4 percent) and 498 single-family homes (38.6 percent) among its 1,290 homes. Every home was built between 1998 and 2005, with a median year built of 2002, so every Legends home for sale today is a resale of a home 20 or more years old.
Single-family homes in Legends
The 498 Legends single-family homes have a median heated area of 1,838 square feet, from 1,442 to 2,762. On the roll, 324 single-family homes have two bedrooms, 160 have three and 14 have four, and the median lot is 0.167 acre. The 2026 roll's median just value for a single-family home is $468,268 and its median taxable value $325,324. The club's owner classifieds sort these homes into patio homes, twin villas, executive homes and estate homes.
Condominiums and garden homes in Legends
The 792 Legends condominiums are all recorded with two bedrooms, from 1,095 to 1,504 heated square feet with a 1,266 square foot median. The 2026 roll's median just value for a condominium is $216,798 and its median taxable value $195,589. The Thornberry association calls its 100 homes garden homes, and the club's classifieds list condos, twin villas, patio homes and garden homes as separate categories.
Stories, views and pools on the county roll
The 2026 roll records 499 Legends home parcels as one story, 307 as two, 202 as three and 282 as four. Its view field marks 1,051 of the 1,290 homes (81.5 percent) as golf view and 120 (9.3 percent) as lake view, with 119 left blank. The roll's pool field is marked on 1,048 of 1,290 home parcels (81 percent) and its garage field on 61 percent; the roll does not say whether a pool is private or shared.
Is golf membership included with a Legends home?
Yes. Legends Golf & Country Club is a bundled community: club membership comes with the home rather than being sold separately, and the club describes a "bundled private golf and country club lifestyle community." No initiation fee is reported. Instead, the club's realtor page lists a $10,000 resale capital contribution at each resale and a $275 master estoppel fee.
Golf membership and social membership
Each Legends home carries either a full golf membership or a social membership, and the type attaches to the home, not to the buyer. A 2023 golf-industry report described Legends as "a bundled community with approximately 840 golf members." Which homes and villages carry golf rights and which carry social rights is not published on the club's public pages; the recorded master and neighborhood declarations and the estoppel certificate for the exact home settle it, so ask for both before writing an offer.
The $10,000 resale capital contribution
The club's realtor page states: "Legends Resale Capital Contribution is $10,000 with a 75% discount for current residents purchasing a new primary residence." In practice a buyer from outside Legends pays $10,000 at closing, and a current resident buying a new primary residence in Legends pays $2,500. The page also says, "We do not have an application or approval process with the Master Association." Each neighborhood association runs its own resale process.
Golf and social dues are not published
Legends Golf & Country Club does not publish its golf or social dues on a public page; member information sits behind the club's member login. Figures that circulate on broker and aggregator pages are not club statements, so this page prints none. The current dues for a specific home appear on the master association's estoppel certificate, which Florida Statutes 720.30851 and 718.116 require associations to issue on a written request.
Who owns and runs the Legends club?
The members do. The club says Legends was "turned over to the membership in April 2005 with the last home closed on July 26, 2005," and the master association, Legends Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc. (Sunbiz document N97000007164), operates from the clubhouse at 8600 Legends Boulevard. The club's membership office handles estoppel requests and lease transfers.
The Legends golf course in Fort Myers
Legends Golf & Country Club's course is a private 18-hole, par 72 championship course that Joe Lee designed and that opened in early 1999. Kipp Schulties renovated it in 2010, and a Garl & Nix renovation closed it in mid-April 2025; it reopened January 22, 2026, according to a February 2026 Florida Weekly report.
From Joe Lee in 1999 to Garl & Nix in 2026
The club gives the course history in three steps: Joe Lee's original design, opened early 1999; a 2010 renovation by Kipp Schulties; and the Garl & Nix work of 2025 to 2026, led by Ron Garl and Rickie Nix. Lakes, ponds and creeks frame 14 of the 18 holes, according to the club. Earlier search summaries that name only Joe Lee leave out both renovations.
The 2025 to 2026 renovation and reopening
The course closed in mid-April 2025 for a nine-month renovation, and about 200 members attended the January 22, 2026 grand reopening, according to Florida Weekly's February 10, 2026 report, which put the cost at $9.6 million and named a new irrigation system designed by Tony Altum as the headline item. How the work was funded, from reserves, a loan or an assessment, was not found in any public source. The club's own pages had not been updated as of October 28, 2026: one still gave an anticipated December 15, 2025 opening and the golf page showed "Under Maintenance," so the reopening date on this page comes from the cited report.
Is the Legends golf course open to the public?
No. The club calls its course a "Private Championship Course," and guests play only when an owner or member signs them in at the Club Receptionist Desk. Tenants can use the course when the owner files the club's lease transfer form for a lease of 30 days to 12 months. Public tee times are not offered on the club's pages.
What amenities come with a Legends Golf & Country Club home?
Legends Golf & Country Club's clubhouse opened in late 1999 and was renovated in 2011 and 2018; it is the hub for dining and events, alongside the pool, fitness center, tennis, pickleball and bocce courts. The club's own pages give two clubhouse sizes, 32,000 and 35,000 square feet, so treat either as approximate.
Tennis, pickleball and bocce at Legends
The club lists 7 Har-Tru tennis courts, 6 of them lit with LED lights, with a tennis shop and pros; court 7 was added in September 2013. There are 4 pickleball courts with LED lights, installed in 2018, and 4 bocce courts with covered seating.
Pool and fitness center
The resort-style pool has a spa and waterfall and is "open daily from dawn to dusk," according to the club. The fitness center is open by key access "5:30 AM to 11:00 PM, 7 days a week," with a full-time fitness director, and the club says its program is Arthritis Foundation certified. The club gives its group class count two different ways on its pages, so ask for the current schedule.
Dining and events at the Legends clubhouse
The club lists a Main Dining Room, the Sunset Grill & Pub, open daily, and the Legends Cafe; one club page counts four dining venues, including a formal dining room. The Main Dining Room seats up to 200 for weddings and events with in-house catering. The clubhouse number is (239) 561-8740.
Is Legends Golf & Country Club gated?
Yes. Legends Golf & Country Club is a gated community: visitors enter through the Main Gatehouse, where a guard checks a driver's license and issues a 1, 3 or 7 day dashboard pass, according to the club's guest policy. The club does not publish the gatehouse's staffing hours, so this page makes no claim about round-the-clock coverage.
Open houses at Legends
The club's realtor page says open houses are scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 5:00 pm, and that the list of open listings is picked up at the main gatehouse. Outside those hours, showings are arranged through the listing agent and the gate.
Directions to the Legends gate
From I-75, take Daniels Parkway (Exit 131) west 0.5 mile to Fiddlesticks Boulevard, turn left, go 1.3 miles to Legends Boulevard and turn right to the gate, according to the club's directions. The clubhouse is about 0.5 mile past the gate on the left.
Is Legends Golf & Country Club a 55+ community?
No recorded age restriction was found in the public records reviewed for Legends Golf & Country Club, and none was disproved. The club's public pages state no age rule, portal labels conflict, and the recorded master declaration was not located online. So this page says neither "55+" nor "all ages": the recorded declarations at the Lee County Clerk control.
What would settle the age question
A community can restrict occupancy by age only through its recorded documents, and to qualify as housing for older persons it must meet federal rules (at least 80 percent of occupied homes with one occupant 55 or older) and the Florida counterpart in section 760.29 of the Florida Statutes. The documents that would hold such a rule are the master declaration and each neighborhood or condominium declaration, all recorded in the Lee County Clerk's official records.
Can you rent out a Legends home?
Yes, within limits. Legends Golf & Country Club owners can transfer their club privileges to a tenant for a lease of not less than 30 days and not more than one year, for a $500 non-refundable fee, on the club's lease transfer form approved July 23, 2025. Separate approval from the neighborhood association is also required.
The master association lease transfer
The lease transfer form sets the terms: a $500 fee payable to the Master Association, a tenant transponder form, a tenant who uses a credit card for club charges, and an owner who gives up club privileges for the length of the lease. The form covers leases of 30 days to 12 months, so stays shorter than 30 days fall outside it.
Neighborhood association approval
The club's realtor page says, "Separate approval is required from the appropriate neighborhood property management company." Each village sets its own lease rules, and the minimum lease term and the number of leases allowed per year inside each village were not published on any page reached. The neighborhood declaration and rules for the exact home hold them.
Who governs Legends Golf & Country Club?
Legends Golf & Country Club is governed in two layers: the Legends Golf & Country Club Master Association, Inc., a Florida not-for-profit filed December 24, 1997 (Sunbiz document N97000007164, active), which runs the club and common areas, and a separate neighborhood or condominium association for each village, such as the Somerset neighborhood association for single-family homes.
The master association
The master association's principal and mailing address is 8600 Legends Boulevard, Fort Myers, FL 33912. Sunbiz shows amended and restated articles filed October 23, 1998, later amendments filed in 2001, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2019 and on April 22, 2024, and annual reports filed in 2024, 2025 and on April 13, 2026. The board listed in the 2026 annual report is made up of unit owners. Estoppel requests go by email to the club's membership office.
Somerset of Legends
Somerset of Legends Golf & Country Club Neighborhood Association, Inc. (Sunbiz document N98000002180) was filed April 16, 1998 and filed its latest annual report January 5, 2026. It runs its own website, and its governing documents page requires a resident sign-in. Which single-family streets fall under Somerset and which, if any, sit under another neighborhood entity is not published, so check the recorded Somerset declaration and the estoppel for the exact home.
The condominium and commons associations
Each condominium village has its own association: Wellington, Wyndham Bay, Bristol Bay I, II and III, Longhurst I to IV, Thornberry I and II and Huntington I and II, plus separate Longhurst Commons and Thornberry Commons homeowners associations for shared areas. Their state filings appear on Sunbiz under their own names; this page prints document numbers only for the two entities read directly on Sunbiz. Each village's association, manager and budget are named on its estoppel certificate and resale disclosures.
The recorded declarations at the Lee County Clerk
The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Legends and its amendments are recorded in the Lee County Clerk's official records, but the instrument numbers were not found on any public page reached and are not printed here. The condominium declarations named in the county legals (Bristol Bay I, II and III and Longhurst I) are the place to start, and the full set can be searched in the Clerk's online records.
What does it cost to own in Legends Golf & Country Club?
Legends Golf & Country Club ownership costs stack in four layers: property tax at the unincorporated Lee County rate, the master association and club charges, a neighborhood or condominium association fee, and the one-time resale costs at closing. There is no community development district. We print only figures with a dated first-party or government source. Data updated: October 2026.
| Cost layer | Amount | Period and source |
|---|---|---|
| Resale capital contribution (master) | $10,000; $2,500 for a current resident buying a new primary residence (75 percent discount) | Club realtor page, read October 28, 2026 |
| Master estoppel request | $275 | Club realtor page, read October 28, 2026 |
| Lease amenity transfer | $500, non-refundable, for a lease of 30 days to 12 months | Club lease transfer form approved July 23, 2025 |
| Club membership | Bundled with the home; no initiation fee reported | Club pages |
| Golf and social dues, master assessment | Not published | Master association estoppel certificate |
| Neighborhood or condominium dues | Not published | Neighborhood estoppel certificate and adopted budget |
| Community development district | None | Lee County 2026 millage book, district 047 |
| Property tax, district 047 | 13.3623 mills | Lee County 2026 millage book, ACTUAL column |
Master and neighborhood dues
Legends Golf & Country Club does not publish the master assessment, golf dues or social dues on a public page, and no village publishes its neighborhood or condominium fee first-party. Listing pages and aggregators show ranges that disagree with one another and are not association statements, so we print none. The estoppel certificate is the document that states the regular periodic assessment for a specific home: Florida Statutes 720.30851 governs homeowners associations and 718.116 governs condominiums. Ask the seller for the last two statements from each association as well.
Resale costs at closing
A Legends buyer should budget for the $10,000 resale capital contribution (or $2,500 for a qualifying current resident) and the $275 master estoppel fee, plus the neighborhood or condominium association's own estoppel and any resale or approval fee it charges. Who pays each item is set by the purchase contract. The club's realtor page says the master association has no application or approval process for buyers.
No CDD at Legends
Legends Golf & Country Club is not in a community development district. The Lee County 2026 millage book's district 047 page lists no community development district among its taxing authorities, and every Legends home parcel sits in taxing district 047. Non-ad valorem lines on an individual tax bill, such as solid waste, were not checked for this page, so read the seller's latest bill for those.
Property taxes in taxing district 047
Every Legends home is in Lee County taxing district 047, South Trail Fire, in unincorporated Lee County. The 2026 adopted (ACTUAL) total is 13.3623 mills, down from 13.4125 in 2025, mainly because the state-law school rate fell from 3.0710 to 3.0230 mills. Each $100,000 of taxable value costs $1,336.23 at the 2026 rate.
| Taxing authority, district 047 | 2026 mills (ACTUAL) | 2025 mills |
|---|---|---|
| Lee County general revenue | 3.7623 | 3.7623 |
| School, by local board | 2.2480 | 2.2480 |
| School, by state law | 3.0230 | 3.0710 |
| Lee County All Hazards Protection District | 0.0693 | 0.0693 |
| Lee County Unincorporated MSTU | 0.8398 | 0.8398 |
| Lee County Library District | 0.4218 | 0.4218 |
| South Florida Water Management District (three lines) | 0.2301 | 0.2301 |
| Lee County Hyacinth Control District | 0.0190 | 0.0192 |
| Lee County Mosquito Control District | 0.2096 | 0.2116 |
| South Trail Fire District | 2.5000 | 2.5000 |
| West Coast Inland Navigation District | 0.0394 | 0.0394 |
| Total | 13.3623 | 13.4125 |
Source: Lee County Property Appraiser 2026 millage rates (printed October 9, 2026, ACTUAL column) and 2025 Taxing District Millage Book (district 047, page 28). The South Trail Fire District rate of 2.5000 mills is about 18.7 percent of the 2026 total, and the district's commission discussed that rate at its September 15, 2025 meeting.
Homestead and the taxable value
The county taxes the assessed value minus exemptions, not the sale price. On the 2026 roll the median Legends single-family home has a just value of $468,268 and a taxable value of $325,324, and the median condominium $216,798 and $195,589; the gap reflects the Save Our Homes cap and exemptions such as homestead under section 196.031 of the Florida Statutes. Use these figures as a guide, not a quote for a specific home.
A worked yearly tax example for a single-family home
Take a Legends single-family home at the 2026 roll's median single-family taxable value of $325,324. At 13.3623 mills, ad valorem property tax is $325,324 x 13.3623 / 1,000 = $4,347.08 a year, about $362 a month. At the 2025 rate of 13.4125 mills the same value would have cost $4,363.41. Club, master and neighborhood charges come on top and are stated on the estoppel certificate.
| Line, single-family example | Yearly amount |
|---|---|
| Taxable value (2026 roll median, single family) | $325,324 |
| Property tax at 13.3623 mills | $4,347.08 |
| CDD assessment | $0 (no CDD) |
| Master, club and neighborhood charges | Not published: see the estoppel certificate |
| Resale capital contribution (one time, at closing) | $10,000 |
A worked yearly tax example for a condominium
Take a Legends condominium at the 2026 roll's median condominium taxable value of $195,589. At 13.3623 mills the ad valorem tax is $195,589 x 13.3623 / 1,000 = $2,613.52 a year, about $218 a month. On the same median just value of $216,798 with no exemption at all, the tax would be $2,896.92. Condominium association dues and the master charges are added from each estoppel certificate.
Condominium inspections and reserves
The 2026 roll records 202 Legends home parcels with a story count of three and 282 with a story count of four. Florida's milestone inspection law, section 553.899, reaches condominium buildings of three stories or more, and the structural integrity reserve study rules sit in section 718.112. Whether each Legends condominium association has completed its milestone inspection and reserve study was not published on any page reached, so ask the association for its latest reports and any special assessment tied to them before buying.
Is Legends Golf & Country Club in a flood zone?
No Legends Golf & Country Club home is in a FEMA special flood hazard area. On an October 28, 2026 overlay of all 1,289 Legends home parcels on FEMA's flood map, every one sat in Zone X, "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard," and none in an A or V zone. Every home is in Evacuation Zone C.
| FEMA flood census, Legends home parcels | Parcels | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Zone X, area of minimal flood hazard | 1,289 | 100% |
| Any A, AE, AH, AO or V zone | 0 | 0% |
| Single family in Zone X | 498 | 100% |
| Condominium in Zone X | 791 | 100% |
Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer point query of every Legends home parcel from the Lee County parcel layer, October 28, 2026. The census counts 1,289 home parcels with map coordinates, one fewer condominium than the county file's 1,290 homes. A query of the community's bounding box also returned no letters of map revision and no letters of map amendment.
FEMA map panels for Legends
Legends sits on three FEMA flood insurance rate map panels with two different dates: 12071C0437H (565 home parcels) and 12071C0439H (383), both effective November 17, 2022, and 12071C0445F (341), effective August 28, 2008. FEMA publishes no base flood elevation for these Zone X areas. Search any address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for the panel and zone on record.
The March 2, 2027 Lee County map revision
FEMA's list of flood map revisions effective March 2, 2027 names unincorporated Lee County, community 125124, which is the flood insurance community for Legends. The records reviewed for this page do not say whether panels 0437H, 0439H or 0445F change, so check the exact address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and the county's floodplain management page before closing.
What Zone X means for flood insurance
Zone X is a map designation, not a promise against flooding. Because no Legends home is in a special flood hazard area, a federally backed lender does not require flood insurance under the mandatory-purchase rule, but flood coverage is available and the lender or insurer decides for each address. The National Flood Insurance Program now prices each policy by the building's own risk under Risk Rating 2.0, not by zone alone, and FEMA's 2025 fact sheet caps annual increases at 18 percent for most policies.
Citizens policies and flood coverage from 2027
Citizens Property Insurance states that, effective January 1, 2027, all Citizens policies that include wind, regardless of value, must also carry flood coverage, under a requirement phased in by section 627.351 of the Florida Statutes. That applies to homes outside flood hazard areas too, so a Legends owner insured with Citizens should plan for a flood policy.
The Lee County flood insurance discount
Unincorporated Lee County (NFIP community 125124) is Class 5 in FEMA's Community Rating System, a 25 percent discount for policies in the special flood hazard area, in effect since October 1, 2007. Legends homes are all outside that area, so ask the insurance agent how the community's rating applies to a Zone X policy on the exact home.
Legends evacuation zone
All 1,289 Legends home points are in Lee County Hurricane Evacuation Zone C, storm surge zone 3 in the county's evacuation layer, which the county last edited March 11, 2025. Lee County evacuates by zone, with A and B usually ordered first, and asks residents to confirm their address on its storm page. Evacuation zones measure surge exposure and are separate from FEMA flood zones.
Hurricane Ian and later storms at Legends
Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022. A golf-industry report written after the storm described Legends as "far enough inland to avoid the catastrophic storm surge," but "pummeled by 100-plus mph winds for hours," and the club's aqua-range target greens were replaced in February 2023. No community-wide flood damage report for Legends was found, and no Legends-specific record of Hurricanes Helene or Milton in 2024 was found. Lee County's September 27, 2022 Ian order added only parts of Zone C in North Cape Coral and North Fort Myers west of I-75, and zone lines were redrawn after 2022, so this page does not say which zone Legends was in during Ian.
Schools near Legends Golf & Country Club
Every Legends Golf & Country Club address falls in the same Lee County 2026-27 choice zones: elementary Proximity Zone J, middle Zone MM, and the South high school zone, sub-zone 2. Lee County assigns students by choice among the schools in a zone, not to one neighborhood school, and capacity can shift a placement.
Lee County choice zones for Legends addresses
The district's 2026-27 Student Enrollment Plan, approved December 1, 2025, lists the schools in each zone. Zone J elementary choices are Colonial, Gateway, Ray V. Pottorf and Treeline; Zone MM middle choices are Cypress Lake Middle and Lexington Middle; South zone sub-zone 2 high school choices include Bonita Springs, Cypress Lake, Estero, Fort Myers and South Fort Myers High, with Dunbar High listed as available by waiver. The county's zone layer says capacity limits may require attendance at a school other than the home school. Confirm any address with the district's SchoolSite Locator.

District transportation and other school options
Under the enrollment plan, elementary students are transported only to schools in their proximity zone, and students who live within 2 miles of the school are not provided district transportation. Any Lee County resident may also request The Sanibel School, Pine Island Elementary or Fort Myers Beach Elementary, without district transportation. Innovation Preparatory Academy of South Fort Myers, a charter school at 6851 Lancer Avenue, is 4.9 road miles away; charter schools sit outside the district's zones.

Is Legends Golf & Country Club in the City of Fort Myers?
No. All Legends home parcels sit in Lee County taxing district 047, South Trail Fire, with Lee County zoning (area code ULC on the roll), outside the City of Fort Myers. The mailing city is Fort Myers for every home, but that is a postal name, not the jurisdiction. Unincorporated status decides the millage, the building department, the flood insurance community and the fire district. On the roll, 1,251 of 1,290 homes list the South Trail Fire District as fire district and 39 leave the field blank; all 1,290 are in taxing district 047.
Legends Golf & Country Club is not Cypress Legends
Cypress Legends is an apartment property at The Forum in ZIP 33905, and its county legal description does not contain the word Legends. Legends Golf & Country Club in Fort Myers is also unrelated to Legends Golf and Country Club in Clermont, Lake County, which appears in some search results. Every figure on this page is for the Fort Myers community in ZIP 33912.
What is changing near Legends
Two road projects sit on the main route from Legends to I-75. FDOT is rebuilding the I-75 and Daniels Parkway interchange (Exit 131, project 446296-2) as a diverging diamond, about $42.8 million, with construction from early 2026 to a scheduled finish in summer 2028; the October 21, 2026 project update lists night lane closures on I-75 from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. and on Daniels Parkway from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Lee County's Three Oaks Parkway Extension connects to Daniels Parkway at Fiddlesticks Boulevard, the Legends entry road, and widens Daniels there from six lanes to eight; Phase 1 is scheduled to finish in 2027 and Phase 2 in spring 2028.
How Legends compares with nearby communities
Legends Golf & Country Club recorded the most sales and the lowest median sale price of these three Fort Myers communities in the latest 12 months on the Lee County record.

How to read the comparison table
The three counts use each community's plat names on the county roll, so they can differ from association totals; Legends' club and the live parcel layer count 1,291 homes. Each community's mix of condominiums and single-family homes moves its overall median, so compare the single-family and condominium rows as well. Median heated area also differs: a Legends condominium's median is 1,266 square feet against 1,637 in Paseo and 1,773 in The Forest, which is part of why per-square-foot figures sit closer together than the medians.
The history of Legends Golf & Country Club
Legends Golf & Country Club began with the master association's filing on December 24, 1997 and the Somerset neighborhood association's in April 1998. The course opened in early 1999, the clubhouse and restaurant in late 1999, and the community was turned over to the membership in April 2005, with the last home closed July 26, 2005.
Filing, first homes and the course opening, 1997 to 1999
The master association was incorporated December 24, 1997 and its amended and restated articles were filed October 23, 1998. The earliest homes on the county roll date from 1998 on the Units 1 and 2 plats along Brittania Drive. Joe Lee's course opened in early 1999 and the clubhouse in late 1999; Wellington and Wyndham Bay, the first condominium villages, date from 1999.
The build years and the 2005 turnover
Construction ran through the single-family units and the condominium villages from 1999 to 2005: Bristol Bay from 2000 to 2004, Huntington in 2002, Longhurst in 2003 to 2005 and Thornberry in 2004 and 2005. The Thornberry association says Lennar built its homes in 2003. The club says Legends was turned over to the membership in April 2005, and the last home closed on July 26, 2005.
Renovations under member control, 2010 to 2026
Since turnover the members have renovated the course twice, with Kipp Schulties in 2010 and Garl & Nix in 2025 to 2026, and the clubhouse twice, in 2011 and 2018. A seventh tennis court was added in September 2013 and LED-lit pickleball courts in 2018. The course reopened January 22, 2026, according to Florida Weekly's February 2026 report.
