Three-bedroom bungalows and ranch-styles in Central Bonita Springs
Unlike surrounding areas, homes in this neighborhood are not as prone to natural disasters. “It’s not a flood zone, so owners aren’t hit with flood premium costs. It’s a really good area for the money,” says Barcenas. Central Bonita Springs’ Cul de sacs form an oblong grid pattern. Home styles vary from block to block, but the lots they rest on are consistent in size and shape. Bungalow and ranch styles are common, featuring yards fit for flower bushes or a barbecue with friends. Paved driveways and attached garages are typical for the standard three-bedroom builds. Pricing averages between $250,000 and $650,000, with the high end of the range belonging to homes with pools or more contemporary architectural influences.
