Age-restricted community with gated entrance in Fort Myers

A community for those 55 and older, Pelican Preserve focuses on keeping activities and dining options steps from home. The palm-lined, brick street at the neighborhood’s entrance leads to a secure gate, keeping amenities private and preventing busy streets. Part of Lee County, Pelican Preserve benefits from the relaxed atmosphere signature to Fort Myers. “It’s a neat area with all the conveniences of any big city without the hustle and bustle,” says Marc Lobdell of Coldwell Banker, an agent living and working in Fort Myers.

European-inspired architecture from Aviano Drive to Palazzo Way

The neighborhood relies mainly on European architecture, with villas, chateau-style homes and carriage houses lining its sidewalks. Small lakes weave through the community, providing a picturesque backdrop to rounded streets and cul-de-sacs. Designed to cater to various budgets, the community offers two- and three-bedroom floor plans of differing sizes. Condo units start at around $295,000 and extend to $650,000. Many houses in the neighborhood were constructed in the early 2000s, with the cost of a two-bedroom home starting at $383,000 and a four-bed home with over 3,000 square feet reaching up to $1 million. Some homes feature private indoor pools with glass enclosures, but all community members benefit from the resort-style pool and shared amenities offered through the homeowners association.

From Brokke Center to Six Mile Slough

Residents seldom need to venture outside the community for activities. Miles of boardwalks wander through preserved land, fairways feature 27 holes of golf, and the town center hosts fitness and art activities throughout the day to keep entertainment options flowing from sunrise to sunset. For the rainy season, the Brokke Center features a library and card rooms for days of relaxation, and the indoor track and fitness center cater to those looking to keep fit. When branching out to meet with friends outside the neighborhood, Top Golf and Six Mile Cypress Slough Preserve are less than 5 miles away.

Social groups galore in Pelican Preserve and access to downtown

Homeowners in Pelican Preserve decide between walkable activities in the neighborhood and drivable options in the surrounding Fort Myers area. Within the community are dozens of social clubs and classes, with choices spanning from fishing groups to flower-arranging courses. Residents who prefer an active lifestyle can also participate in sports throughout the week, with tennis, bocce and pickleball courts at the center of the community. Only 10 minutes from downtown Fort Myers, the neighborhood also gains access to the area’s top spots. “They’ve redeveloped the downtown to where it’s now a destination, and it’s really cool with a big calendar of events, like an art walk every Friday or Saturday night,” Lobdell says.

Dining at Flip-Flops and shopping at Edison Mall

Within the community are restaurants like Destinations in the Town Center and Flip-Flops by the pool, but there are no stores behind the gates of Pelican Preserve. Despite that, Winn-Dixie and Walgreens sit less than a mile north on Treeline Avenue, and stores like Target in the Forum are less than 3 miles away, ensuring retail options remain close to home. For gift and clothing shopping, Edison Mall can be reached in less than 7 miles, inviting residents to explore national retailers like Dillard’s, Macy’s and JCPenney.

For travels outside Florida, the Southwest Florida International Airport is less than 10 miles south, straight down Treeline Avenue.
