The Vines
Suburban Neighborhood in Estero, Florida
Lee County 33928, 33967
Condos and houses with golf course views
The Vines has six different sections with various styles of homes, including condos, coach homes, villas and single-family homes, most of which come with a view and a sense of privacy. “Pretty much every home faces the golf course and lakes,” says Wardlaw. “And each condo is an end unit, so everyone feels like they just have one common wall.” A two-to-three-bedroom condo sells for around $425,000 to $450,000. Coach homes come with attached garages, ranging from $450,000 to $550,000. The attached villas offer about 1,750 square feet of living space, selling for around $475,000 to $550,000. Single-family coastal contemporary houses provide the most space, with 1,850 and 2,200-square-foot options, some of which come with enclosed pools. They typically range from $600,000 to $750,000. However, Wardlaw says she has sold some for as low as $550,000 and as much as $1.5 million, and that pricing all depends on how much has been updated since they were built in the 1980s and 1990s.

Championship golf course and racquet sports
The Estero Country Club prides itself on its championship golf course, used for both fun and competitive leagues. Members can hit the driving range and practice their chipping and putting before hitting the pristine and challenging links. Wardlaw, who enjoys playing on the golf course, says, “Hole five is our signature hole. It has an island green and is especially challenging because you have to avoid the water, and the wind is usually coming toward you.” Members also have access to tennis, pickleball and bocce ball courts, which have their own leagues as well. To stay on top of their game, members can stay in shape at the fitness center, which offers several classes. And with a community pool available, residents enjoy lounging in the sun and cooling off in the water.

Cambridge Program at Estero High
Students are served by the Lee County School District, and can attend Bonita Springs Elementary, which gets a B-minus grade from Niche. They may go on to B-plus-graded Cypress Lake Middle and B-graded Estero High, where they can earn a diploma through the rigorous Cambridge Program.

Golf tournaments and holiday parties
Residents get a monthly newsletter so they always know what’s going on in the community. Events are held for each sport all year long, such as golf tournaments and social bocce ball gatherings. The country club hosts a dining event once a month along with holiday parties, whether it be for Saint Patrick’s Day or to ring in the new year. There are also weekly events like bingo, trivia and karaoke for locals to enjoy.
12-mile drive to the beach
Commuters can drive 20 miles north to Fort Myers or about 25 miles south to Naples by taking either U.S. Route 41 or Interstate 75. It’s also about a 12-mile drive to the beach, which, according to Wardlaw, takes about 40 minutes in season and 25 minutes out of season.Casual and elegant dining at the clubhouse
Mulligans Bar at the clubhouse offers a casual setting with a patio where locals frequently visit to relax and drink cocktails after a round of golf. The clubhouse also has a main dining room, which has a more formal and elegant atmosphere, featuring seasonal dishes. More restaurants can be found along South Tamiami Trail (U.S. Route 41), along with big retailers like Walmart, Publix and ALDI. There are several large shopping centers and malls within a 5-mile radius as well, including Miromar Outlets, a large open-air mall with dozens of popular brands. University Village, near Florida Gulf Coast University, embraces the same open-air concept on a smaller scale but with a majority of restaurants, like Mello Mushroom and Poke Fusion.
