Key takeaways for Lindsford buyers

Lindsford is a gated community inside the City of Fort Myers, ZIP 33916; the October 25, 2026 Lee County parcel file counts 943 homes, and the master association and the Waterford Landing CDD count 953 units.
Lee County recorded 42 qualified Lindsford sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026, at a $336,500 median, against 37 sales at $395,000 in the 12 months before that, a 14.8 percent lower median.
Every one of the 42 recent sales was a resale: the county record shows the last builder-direct sales in 2022, when four were recorded.
Lindsford homes were built 2014 to 2022, with a median heated area of 1,829 square feet and a range of 1,477 to 4,487 square feet on the 2026 roll.
Lindsford is inside the Waterford Landing Community Development District: the FY2027 on-roll assessment is $1,285.00 per unit ($593.56 operations plus $691.44 debt), up from $1,234.72 in FY2026.
The 2026 master association fee is $320 a quarter in Phases I and II and $180 a quarter in Phase III; Neighborhood II adds $346 a quarter for a single-family home or $433.41 for a villa.
The 2026 property tax rate for taxing district 090 (City of Fort Myers) is 16.9702 mills, about $1,697 per $100,000 of taxable value.
In a 30-parcel FEMA sample, 15 Lindsford lots were mapped Zone AH, 1 Zone AE and 14 Zone X, so about half the sampled lots sit in a special flood hazard area; the community's center point is in Lee County Evacuation Zone D.
The master association rule allows whole-home leases of at least one month and no more than four leases a calendar year, and no recorded age restriction was found in the documents reviewed.
The Ronto Group and partners bought the 256-acre site in March 2013 for $9.7 million, and D.R. Horton took down 936 lots between its first closing in April 2014 and its final townhome lot purchase on October 22, 2018.

What the county roll says about Lindsford homes

The 2026 Lee County roll codes all 943 Lindsford homes as DOR use 01, single family, so the roll alone cannot separate villas and townhomes from detached houses. Of the 943, 633 are one story and 310 are two stories, 162 (17 percent) have a pool, every home has a garage, and 385 carry a lake view code. The median lot is 0.148 acre.

What do homes in Lindsford sell for?

Lindsford homes sold at a median of $336,500 on the Lee County record across 42 qualified sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026 (the newest sale in the Lee County file), from $237,000 to $599,000. The 12 months before that recorded 37 sales at $395,000.

The Lindsford median moved down 14.8 percent while sales rose from 37 to 42. Data updated: October 2026. We tracked every qualified Lindsford sale on the Lee County file to build the tables below.

The 12 months run September 26, 2025 to September 25, 2026 and the prior 12 months September 26, 2024 to September 25, 2025. The newest Lindsford sale in the file was recorded September 15, 2026. Every one of the 42 sales was a resale, and no multi-parcel deed was excluded.

The Lindsford price trend since 2015

The county record shows the build years and the resale years clearly. From 2015 through 2021, D.R. Horton was still selling new homes, and builder-direct sales made up most of each year. In 2022 four builder-direct sales were recorded, and every recorded sale since 2023 has been a resale.

Year	Sales	Median	Builder-direct sales	Median $ per heated sq ft
2015	112	$271,242	112	$123
2016	166	$229,632	158	$130

2026 (to date)	27	$318,020	0	$200

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 busiest year was 2021, with 246 sales; the 2022 median of $410,000 is the high point of the series, and the 2023 figure of $234 per heated square foot is the high point for price per square foot.

Price bands in the last 12 months

Of the 42 recorded sales, 6 closed under $300,000, 20 between $300,000 and $400,000, 11 between $400,000 and $500,000, and 5 between $500,000 and $750,000. No Lindsford sale in the window reached $750,000. The $300,000 to $400,000 band was the busiest, with nearly half of all sales.

The highest qualified Lindsford sale anywhere in the county file is $775,000 for 4023 Ashentree Ct, recorded September 6, 2022, a 3,556 square foot home built in 2015.

Price per square foot in Lindsford

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 $200 per square foot, against $209 in the prior 12 months and $202 over 24 months. The calendar-year peak was $234 in 2023, and the 2026 year to date sits at $200.

Price by home size in the last 12 months

Size moves price in Lindsford more than anything else on the county record. Seven sales of 1,519 square foot homes ran from $274,000 to $317,000, and three sales of 1,527 square foot homes from $308,000 to $317,500. The six sales of homes larger than 2,400 square feet ran from $460,000 to $599,000. These ranges are read directly from the county's list of the 42 sales.

The Lindsford streets with the most sales

Royal Gardens Avenue recorded the most sales in the latest 12 months, 10, from $330,000 to $599,000, with a median of $481,737 across the 10. Dutchess Park Road recorded 8, from $295,000 to $580,000 (median $316,000), and Tilbor Circle recorded 4, from $237,000 to $315,000. Bloomfield Street, Birchin Lane, Brittons Court and Dunnster Court recorded 3 each.

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.

Lindsford phases and home types compared

Lindsford is one plat group on the Lee County roll, 943 homes under the Lindsford legal name, but the associations split it into Phases I and II (717 households) and Phase III (236 townhomes). The Waterford Landing CDD schedule breaks the 953 units into four lot widths plus townhomes.

The phase decides the dues, the gate and the amenity center. Data updated: October 2026.

Lindsford group	Units	Homes	Gate and amenity center	Source
Phases I and II (master association count)	717	Single-family homes and twin villas	Master association entry; first amenity center	2026 master association information sheet
Neighborhood II (inside Phases I and II)	496	Single-family homes and villas	Same	Neighborhood II packet as of January 1, 2026
Phase III	236	Townhomes	Phase III neighborhood association entry; second amenity center	FY2027 CDD schedule; 2026 contact sheet
All of Lindsford (CDD and master association)	953	All of the above		FY2027 CDD schedule; master association
Lindsford on the Lee County roll	943	All coded single family (DOR 01)		October 25, 2026 parcel file

The 10-unit gap between the 953 units the association and the CDD bill and the 943 homes on the 2026 roll has not been settled by a document we read; the recorded plats and the CDD's assessment roll would settle it. D.R. Horton's lot purchases totaled 936, a third measure that counts lots bought, not homes.

The Waterford Landing CDD lot schedule

The CDD's FY2027 assessment schedule lists every Lindsford unit by lot width: 160 lots of 35 feet, 82 lots of 40 feet, 345 lots of 50 feet, 130 lots of 60 feet, and 236 townhomes, for 953 units. Every one of them pays the same FY2027 assessment, $1,285.00, whatever its width or product.

CDD schedule, FY2027	Units
35-foot lots (SDA)	160
40-foot lots (SFA)	82
50-foot lots (single-family detached)	345
60-foot lots (single-family detached)	130
Townhomes (TH)	236
Total	953

Source: Waterford Landing CDD FY2027 adopted budget. The schedule's lot codes are printed as the district labels them.

Single-family homes in Phases I and II

Phases I and II hold the detached single-family homes, on the 50-foot and 60-foot lots the CDD schedule labels single-family detached. Royal Gardens Avenue and Dutchess Park Road carry all five of the highest 12-month sales, topped by $599,000 at 3177 Royal Gardens Ave, and Ashentree Court holds the $775,000 file record. The 2026 roll shows heated areas up to 4,487 square feet.

Villas in Neighborhood II

Neighborhood II, 496 units, publishes two dues rates for 2026: $346 a quarter for a single-family home and $433.41 for a villa, which includes $87.41 of reserves. The master association describes its first amenity center as serving the single-family homes and the twin villas of Phases I and II.

Townhomes in Phase III

Phase III is the townhome section: 236 units on the CDD schedule, with its own neighborhood association, its own entry and its own amenity center. Its master association fee is $180 a quarter, lower than the $320 in Phases I and II. A 2018 Business Observer report gave D.R. Horton townhome starting prices then of $191,990 to $238,990, prices that are now eight years old.

Bedrooms, stories and pools on the roll

The 2026 Lee County roll lists 256 Lindsford homes with 2 bedrooms, 400 with 3, 270 with 4 and 16 with 5, with a median of 3. Of the 943 homes, 633 are one story and 310 are two stories, and 162 have a pool. Heated area runs from 1,477 to 4,487 square feet, with a median of 1,829.

Lake lots in Lindsford

The roll's land view code marks 385 of the 943 Lindsford homes as lake lots and leaves the other 558 blank. The lakes are part of the stormwater system that the Waterford Landing CDD maintains, including the lake bank restoration covered in the cost section. A lake view code is a roll field, not a survey, so check the plat for the exact lot.

Year built and the build-out

The 2026 roll dates the homes 2014 to 2022, with a median year built of 2018. By five-year band, 17 homes date from 2014, 664 from 2015 to 2019 and 262 from 2020 to 2022. The county record shows the last four builder-direct sales in 2022.

Assessed values on the 2026 roll

The 2026 Lee County roll gives a median just value of $304,002 and a median taxable value of $249,441 across the 943 Lindsford homes. Taxable value reflects homestead and other exemptions, so it varies from home to home; the exact figure is on each parcel's TRIM notice and tax bill.

Floor plans when Lindsford launched

D.R. Horton's May 21, 2014 launch release described a gated community near I-75 with 14 plans of about 1,585 to 4,377 square feet, sales opening that July, priced from the $200s. A later trade item reported 19 home plans. In 2018 the Business Observer gave single-family starting prices of $225,900 to $397,990.

Is Lindsford a 55+ community?

No recorded age restriction was found in the Lindsford documents reviewed for this page in 2026, and the Neighborhood II packet describes single-family residential use only. Lindsford has no published 55+ rule. A community qualifies as housing for older persons in Florida only under the rules of section 760.29 of the Florida Statutes.

What Florida law requires of a 55+ community

Under section 760.29(4) of the Florida Statutes, a community qualifies as housing for persons 55 or older when at least 80 percent of occupied units have at least one occupant 55 or older and the community publishes and follows age-verification procedures. Nothing in the Lindsford documents reviewed sets up that structure.

What was not read

The recorded declarations of the master association and the three neighborhood associations were not retrieved for this page, so their Lee County Clerk instrument numbers are not printed here. The Neighborhood II statement comes from its 2026 sale packet. Ask for the recorded declaration with the resale documents for any Lindsford home.

Is Lindsford gated?

Yes. Lindsford is a gated community: the master association describes it that way, and a 2018 Business Observer report listed it among D.R. Horton's gated communities. The master association controls the Phase I and II entry, and the Phase III neighborhood association controls the townhome entry. Gate access uses the MyQ app in 2026.

Gate access, decals and cards

Residents open the gates with the MyQ app, an RFID vehicle decal or a proximity card. The master association's 2026 documents list RFID decals at $15 each and proximity cards at $20 each. Whether each entry has a staffed gatehouse or a call box only is not stated in the documents we read.

What the gates cost in the 2026 budget

The master association's 2026 budget carries $20,000 for gate maintenance, $4,638 for MyQ app support and $3,000 for Winkler entrance wall maintenance. Gate costs are part of the master fee, not a separate charge on the tax bill.

Leasing and use rules in Lindsford

Lindsford homes can be leased within limits. The master association allows whole-home leases only, with a one-month minimum, a one-year maximum term and no more than four leases a calendar year (2026 packet). Neighborhood II sets a 30-day minimum and the same four-lease cap. We state these as recorded rules, not as advice about renting.

The master association leasing rule

The master association's 2026 sale and lease packet sets four limits: the whole home only, never a room; a lease term of at least one month; a term of no more than one year; and no more than four leases in a calendar year. Confirm the current rule on the packet for the exact home.

Neighborhood II rules

Neighborhood II's packet, dated as of January 1, 2026, sets a 30-day minimum lease and a maximum of four leases a calendar year, limits each home to single-family residential use, and requires a casualty rebuild to start within six months. A sale application costs $150, non-refundable, and is due 30 days before closing.

Pets, vehicles, fences and air conditioners

Neighborhood II allows two dogs or two cats per home, and the master rules require dogs to be leashed. Commercial vehicles, RVs and boats may not be kept outside an enclosed garage, fences need architectural review approval, and window air conditioners are not allowed. Neighborhood I and Phase III rule sets were not read.

Who runs Lindsford?

Lindsford is governed by four Florida nonprofit corporations, the Lindsford Master Association and three neighborhood associations, plus the Waterford Landing Community Development District, a unit of special-purpose government. The developer turned the master association over on August 31, 2021, and the master board is made up of the neighborhood presidents (2026 information sheet).

Lindsford Phase 3 Neighborhood Association, Inc.	N14000009268	October 6, 2014

Source: Florida Division of Corporations (Sunbiz) filings. The master association owns and runs the shared amenities, the lakes, the street lights and the main entries. The neighborhood associations run landscaping, architectural review and use rules inside their neighborhoods. An unrelated company, Lindsford LLC (L24000131421), is not a Lindsford association.

The Waterford Landing CDD

City of Fort Myers Ordinance 3319, adopted March 6, 2006, created the Waterford Landing Community Development District under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, on land described as the north side of the Winkler Avenue Extension between Colonial Boulevard and Palmetto. Its board is elected under Chapter 190, and its budgets, minutes and assessment schedules are posted on the district's website.

The master association's office hours

The master association's community manager holds office hours on site on Thursdays from 9 to 1 in the Community Room, and from 1 to 5 on the third Thursday before the monthly board meeting, per the January 2026 contact sheet. The amenity center address is 4101 Dutchess Park Road.

What does it cost to own in Lindsford?

Lindsford ownership costs stack in four layers: the master association fee, a neighborhood association fee, the Waterford Landing CDD assessment on the county tax bill, and property tax at the City of Fort Myers rate of 16.9702 mills. Every figure below carries its date and source, and dues that are not published are stated as not published.

Data updated: October 2026.

The Waterford Landing CDD assessment

Every Lindsford unit pays the Waterford Landing CDD assessment as a non-ad valorem line on the Lee County tax bill, not on an association invoice. For FY2027, October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027, the adopted on-roll assessment is $1,285.00 per unit, the same for every lot width and product. It was $1,234.72 in FY2026, so it rose $50.28, or 4.1 percent.

Waterford Landing CDD, per unit	Operations (general fund)	Debt service	Total
FY2027	$593.56	$691.44	$1,285.00
FY2026			$1,234.72

The FY2027 budget collects $565,660 for the general fund and $658,942 for debt service on the tax roll; divided across 953 units, those are the $593.56 and $691.44 per-unit figures.

The Series 2024 bonds and the 2025 note

The debt line pays the CDD's Series 2024 bonds: $8,370,000 at 4.38 percent, dated December 16, 2024, with a final maturity of May 1, 2044. The FY2027 budget schedules $295,000 of principal. A separate 2025 note of $2,316,005 at 4.14 percent, with a final payment on May 1, 2030, funds the lake bank restoration. A lump-sum payoff figure for a single lot was not published in the documents we read.

The CDD lake bank restoration

The CDD board's March 26, 2025 minutes approved lake bank restoration at $89 per linear foot, about $2.1 million in total. The district spent $2,066,308 on the work in FY2026 and budgets $150,000 for it in FY2027. Ask the seller whether the lake bank behind a lake lot was part of the restored sections.

Lindsford master association dues

The Lindsford Master Association's 2026 assessment is $320.00 a quarter for Phases I and II and $180.00 a quarter for Phase III, $1,280 and $720 a year. Neighborhood II's packet lists quarterly due dates of January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1; the Phase III packet lists December 1 as the fourth date, so confirm the schedule on the resale packet.

What the master budget pays for in 2026

Master association, 2026 budget line	Amount
Total revenue	$1,087,674
Street lights	$116,000
Insurance	$97,000

Source: Lindsford Master Association 2026 budget, in the 2026 sale packet. The budget year runs January 1 to December 31, 2026.

Neighborhood II dues

Neighborhood II, 496 units, charges $346.00 a quarter for a single-family home and $433.41 a quarter for a villa, as of January 1, 2026. The villa figure includes $87.41 of reserves. A Phase II single-family owner therefore pays $666 a quarter to the two associations, $2,664 a year, before the CDD and property tax.

Neighborhood I and Phase III dues

Neighborhood I and the Phase III neighborhood association did not publish their 2026 dues in the documents we read. We do not estimate them. The current resale packet or the estoppel certificate for the exact home states the amount, the due dates and any balance owed.

The estoppel certificate and the HOA disclosure

The estoppel certificate is the association's written statement of what is owed on a home. Under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes, the association must deliver it within 10 business days, and it is valid for 30 days if delivered by hand or electronically and 35 days if mailed. Section 720.401 requires a disclosure summary in the contract and gives the buyer 3 days after receiving it to cancel, or until closing if sooner.

Property taxes in taxing district 090

Every Lindsford home is in Lee County taxing district 090, City of Fort Myers. The 2026 total actual rate is 16.9702 mills, or $1,697.02 per $100,000 of taxable value. The City's actual rate of 6.9000 mills sits below its proposed 7.3112 and above its rollback rate of 6.6465.

When the Lindsford tax bill arrives

Lee County property taxes are billed in October to November, and the Lindsford CDD assessment rides on the same bill. Under section 197.162 of the Florida Statutes, the tax collector's early payment discount is 4 percent in November, 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January and 1 percent in February.

A worked yearly cost example (illustrative)

Take a Phase II single-family home at the 2026 roll's median taxable value of $249,441. Property tax at 16.9702 mills is $4,233.06. Add the FY2027 CDD assessment of $1,285.00, the master fee of $1,280.00 and Neighborhood II's $1,384.00. The yearly total is $8,182.06 before insurance, utilities and any early payment discount. For a Neighborhood II villa, the villa dues of $1,733.64 make it $8,531.70.

Line, illustrative Phase II single-family home	Yearly amount
Property tax ($249,441 x 16.9702 / 1,000)	$4,233.06
Waterford Landing CDD, FY2027	$1,285.00
Master association, 2026 ($320 x 4)	$1,280.00
Neighborhood II single family, 2026 ($346 x 4)	$1,384.00
Total	$8,182.06

This is arithmetic on dated sources, not a tax bill. Homestead, Save Our Homes and other exemptions change the taxable value, so run it again with the exact home's tax bill.

Special assessments and reserves

No master association special assessment was found in the documents we read. The master site posted a 2026 special meeting notice whose subject we did not extract, so ask for the latest board minutes. The 2026 master budget sets aside $60,000 of statutory reserves and $95,000 of voluntary reserves.

What amenities does Lindsford have?

Lindsford has two amenity centers owned and run by the master association: the first, at 4101 Dutchess Park Road, serves the single-family homes and twin villas of Phases I and II, and a second serves the Phase III townhomes. The lakes, a fishing pier, fountains and a playground complete the list, per the master association.

The Phase I and II amenity center

The first amenity center has a swimming pool, a spa, basketball, tennis and bocce courts, a fitness room, locker rooms, a catering kitchen and a social room. The 2026 information sheet sets the pool's bathing load at 73 and the spa's at 9, with hours from dawn to dusk, and lists 45 parking spaces.

The Phase III townhome amenity center

The master association describes a second amenity center that serves the Phase III townhomes. Its features were not itemized in the documents we read, so ask the Phase III neighborhood association for the current list.

Lakes, the fishing pier and fountains

Lindsford's lakes, fishing pier and fountains are master association amenities, and a posted 2026 lake fishing policy governs fishing. The master budget carries $50,482.50 for lake maintenance and $20,000 for fountains in 2026, while the CDD handles the lake bank restoration.

Is there a golf course in Lindsford?

No golf course or golf membership is listed in the Lindsford master association's amenities. The community's shared facilities are the two amenity centers, the courts, the pools and the lakes, all paid for through the association fees rather than a separate club.

Is Lindsford in a flood zone?

Lindsford is partly in a flood zone, depending on the lot. In a 30-parcel sample checked against FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer on October 28, 2026, 15 lots were in Zone AH, 1 in Zone AE and 14 in Zone X: 16 of 30, about half, in a special flood hazard area. Check the exact lot and its elevation certificate.

Where the sampled Zone AH lots are

The sampled Zone AH lots sit on Royal Gardens Avenue, Dutchess Park Road, Birchin Lane, Bridgewell Court, Ashentree Court, King Williams and King Edwards Streets, Brittons Court and Bloomfield Street. The one Zone AE lot, 3882 Eldon Street, shows a base flood elevation of 18.0 feet (NAVD88). Zone X lots in the sample include Crofton Court, Tilbor Circle, Dunnster Court, Burrfield Street and Wilmont Place, and Zone X and Zone AH lots share Ashentree, Bridgewell and King Edwards. A sample is a screen, not a determination.

What Zones AH, AE and X mean

FEMA maps Zone AH as a special flood hazard area with shallow flooding of 1 to 3 feet, usually ponding, and a stated base flood elevation. Zone AE is a special flood hazard area with a computed base flood elevation. Zone X is outside the 1 percent annual chance flood area. A federally backed mortgage on a home in a special flood hazard area requires flood insurance.

The March 2, 2027 flood map update

FEMA's list of map updates effective March 2, 2027 names the Village of Estero and unincorporated Lee County. The City of Fort Myers, NFIP community 125106, is not on that list, so Lindsford's panels do not change on that date. The list says nothing about later revisions. Search any address at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.

Lindsford evacuation zone

The center of Lindsford is in Lee County Hurricane Evacuation Zone D, Surge Zone 4, on both county evacuation layers checked October 28, 2026. An evacuation zone measures storm surge exposure and is separate from a FEMA flood zone, so a home can be in Zone D and FEMA Zone X at the same time. Confirm the address on the county's map.

Hurricanes Ian, Helene and Milton

Hurricane Ian made landfall on September 28, 2022; NOAA's billion-dollar disaster record puts its total damage at about $112 billion, and Lee County's recovery plan describes more than 10 feet of surge on the barrier islands, Fort Myers Beach and coastal areas along the Caloosahatchee. No Lindsford-specific damage record from Ian, Helene or Milton was found. That is not a statement that Lindsford homes were undamaged; ask the seller and the associations for claim history.

Building code and insurance notes

Lindsford homes were built 2014 to 2022 under Florida Building Code editions earlier than the 8th Edition (2023), which took effect December 31, 2023; the edition for a given home depends on its permit date. Insurance availability and premiums are address-specific, and none are quoted here. The master association budgets $97,000 for its own insurance in 2026.

My Safe Florida Home grants

My Safe Florida Home offers a free hurricane mitigation inspection and matching grants of up to $10,000, at $2 of state money for each $1 of owner money. Eligible homes are site-built, owner-occupied, homesteaded single-family homes or townhouses with an insured value of $700,000 or less. Funding depends on legislative appropriation.

The nearest fire station

City of Fort Myers Fire Station 16, at 4000 Veronica S Shoemaker Boulevard, is about 0.6 mile straight-line from the center of Lindsford. Every Lindsford home is in the City of Fort Myers fire district on the county roll.

Schools near Lindsford

Lindsford addresses fall in Lee County elementary proximity Zone J, middle Zone EE and the South high school zone, sub-zone 1, for 2026-27. Lee County assigns students by choice among the schools in a zone, not to one neighborhood school. Confirm any address with the district's school site locator before you rely on it.

Level	2026-27 zone	Schools listed for the zone
Elementary	Zone J	Colonial, Gateway, Ray V. Pottorf, Treeline
Middle	Zone EE	Fort Myers Middle, Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle
High	South Zone, sub-zone 1	Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Fort Myers, South Fort Myers

Source: The School District of Lee County 2026-27 Student Enrollment Plan and the district's 2026-27 proximity zone layer. The plan carries a footnote on Dunbar High waivers, so check the plan for how Dunbar High applies to a Lindsford address.

How the Lee County choice zones work

A proximity code of 1 in the district plan means the school is within 2 miles of the address. For 2026-27 the waiver deadline is July 31, registration opens the first Monday of November, and registration runs through the district's FOCUS portal. Zones can change with each year's Student Enrollment Plan.

2026 school grades

The Florida Department of Education publishes school letter grades each summer in its SchoolGrades26 file, linked in the sources below; look up each school in the Lindsford zones there by name. The School District of Lee County earned a B for 2025-26 in the state's district grade file. A letter grade is a state accountability measure.

School addresses near Lindsford

The district's school layer places Colonial Elementary at 3800 Schoolhouse Rd E, Ray V. Pottorf Elementary at 4600 Challenger Blvd, Paul Laurence Dunbar Middle at 4750 Winkler Ave Ext, Fort Myers Middle at 3050 Central Ave, Dunbar High at 3800 E Edison Ave and Fort Myers High at 2635 Cortez Blvd.

Is Lindsford in the City of Fort Myers?

Yes. All 943 Lindsford home parcels sit in Lee County taxing district 090 and the City of Fort Myers fire district, with City zoning (CFM). That decides the millage, the building department and the flood map community. The City created the Waterford Landing CDD by ordinance, and the mailing city is Fort Myers for every home.

What is changing near Lindsford

The City of Fort Myers is rebuilding Winkler Avenue between Metro Parkway and Colonial Boulevard with median changes, longer left-turn lanes, signals and lighting at Schoolhouse Road West and Aldermans Walk Boulevard, and drainage work; press reports put completion in December 2026. Lindsford sits on the Winkler Avenue Extension, so expect lane work on that corridor through the end of 2026.

Other projects nearby

FDOT's SR 80 and SR 82 safety and resurfacing project from Veronica Shoemaker Boulevard to Kingston Drive covers 2.803 miles for $6.5 million, with the current phase estimated to finish in late 2026.

How to read the comparison table

The counts use each community's legal names on the county roll, so they can differ from association totals: Lindsford's master association and CDD count 953 units against 943 on the roll. Each community's mix of condominiums and single-family homes moves its overall median, and Lindsford's roll codes every home, villas and townhomes included, as single family. Compare the single-family row and the size row together.

The history of Lindsford

Lindsford began as the Waterford Landing property, where the City of Fort Myers created the Waterford Landing CDD in 2006. The Ronto Group and partners bought the 256-acre site in March 2013, D.R. Horton made its first lot closing in April 2014, builder sales ran through 2022, and the developer turned over the master association on August 31, 2021.

The Waterford Landing land and the Ronto purchase

The Business Observer reported on March 1, 2013 that The Ronto Group, Rockpoint Group and Corbelis Management bought the 256-acre Waterford Landing property for $9.7 million, zoned and entitled for 1,012 units. A City Council agenda item later approved the replat of Waterford Landing as Lindsford, Phase I, with Waterford Landing Acquisitions, LLC, doing business as Ronto Group, as owner.

D.R. Horton and the build years

D.R. Horton made its first Lindsford lot closing in April 2014, and its May 21, 2014 launch release said sales would open that July. On October 22, 2018 it bought the final 56 townhome lots for $1,926,449, bringing its total to 936 lots. The county record shows builder-direct sales peaking at 158 in 2016, still 137 in 2021, then four in 2022.

The associations and the turnover

The master association was incorporated February 12, 2014, followed by Neighborhood I and the Phase 3 association that year and Neighborhood II on October 14, 2016, with D.R. Horton, Inc. as Neighborhood II's incorporator. The developer turned the master association over on August 31, 2021.

The CDD bonds and the lakes since 2024

The Waterford Landing CDD issued its Series 2024 bonds, $8,370,000, dated December 16, 2024, and took a 2025 note of $2,316,005 to fund lake bank restoration approved at its March 26, 2025 meeting. The FY2027 assessment, $1,285.00 per unit, took effect October 1, 2026.

Yes, within the recorded limits. The master association allows whole-home leases only, with a one-month minimum, a one-year maximum term and no more than four leases a calendar year (2026). Neighborhood II sets a 30-day minimum and the same four-lease cap. Confirm the Neighborhood I and Phase III rules on their packets.

Are pets allowed in Lindsford?

Yes, with limits. Neighborhood II allows two dogs or two cats per home under its packet dated as of January 1, 2026, and the master association's rules require dogs to be leashed. Neighborhood I and Phase III pet rules were not read, so confirm them in the resale documents for the exact home.

What amenities does Lindsford have?

The Lindsford master association runs two amenity centers. The first, at 4101 Dutchess Park Road, has a pool, a spa, basketball, tennis and bocce courts, a fitness room, locker rooms, a catering kitchen and a social room; a second serves the Phase III townhomes. Lakes, a fishing pier, fountains and a playground complete the list.

Does Lindsford have a golf course?

No. The Lindsford master association lists no golf course or golf membership among its amenities. The shared facilities are the two amenity centers, the courts, the pool and spa, the lakes and the fishing pier, all paid through the master association fee of $320 a quarter in Phases I and II and $180 in Phase III.

Is Lindsford in a flood zone?

Partly. In a 30-parcel Lindsford sample checked against FEMA's flood map on October 28, 2026, 15 lots were in Zone AH, 1 in Zone AE and 14 in Zone X, so about half sit in a special flood hazard area. The zone depends on the exact lot, so check the address and its elevation certificate.

Will the 2027 flood map change affect Lindsford?

Not on the March 2, 2027 date. FEMA's list of map updates effective March 2, 2027 names the Village of Estero and unincorporated Lee County, and the City of Fort Myers, NFIP community 125106, is not on it. That says nothing about later revisions, so check the FEMA Flood Map Service Center before you buy.

What hurricane evacuation zone is Lindsford in?

The center of Lindsford is in Lee County Evacuation Zone D, Surge Zone 4, on both county evacuation layers checked October 28, 2026. Evacuation zones measure storm surge exposure and are separate from FEMA flood zones. Zone lines follow geography, so confirm a specific Lindsford address on the county's evacuation zone map.

Did Hurricane Ian damage Lindsford?

No Lindsford-specific damage record from Hurricane Ian, Helene or Milton was found in the county, FEMA and district documents we read, and that is not a statement that homes were undamaged.
