Spanish-style ranch homes and coastal condos
At the gates of Westminster, residents are greeted with an American flag flying overhead and 24/7 security. Spanish-style ranch homes with pastel exteriors and tiled roofs line the secluded streets that wind through rolling greens and small lakes. Screened-in swimming pools can be found in the back, often with scenic golf course views. In the front, well-manicured lawns and multi-car garages are a common sight. Coastal-style condos present a multifamily option for living in the neighborhood. The Westminster Community Association oversees residents and charges a quarterly fee of $391 as of 2023. Single-family homes within the gates range between $300,000 and $500,000. Plenty of single-family houses outside the gates also feature Spanish-style architecture with stucco exteriors. Newer builds with modern accents can also be found scattered throughout. Single-family builds out here range between $315,000 and $600,000 and have fewer restrictions. Plots of land totaling around .25 acres are available to those looking to build their dream home, and the price ranges from $80,000 to $125,000.Recreation at The Club at Westminster
Recreation is centered around The Club at Westminster, which features classic country club amenities. Visitors can work on their backhand at the tennis courts or take a dip in the nearby swimming pool. The club’s semi-private golf course is available to both residents and non-residents. Outside the gates, Buckingham Park is 5 miles away and features numerous athletic facilities, including baseball diamonds and soccer fields. Canine companions can get in on the fun at the adjacent gated dog park. Wild Turkey Stand Preserve is also 5 miles away and offers visitors a chance to explore the wild Florida landscape with miles of hiking trails. A day on the beach is a bit of a drive, but many are happy to make it, as the lapping shores of Fort Myers Beach are only 23 miles away.Academy of Digital & Media Arts at Lehigh Senior High School
The Lee County School District serves the neighborhood and offers a school choice enrollment system, meaning parents can choose which schools their children will attend. One pipeline has younger students starting at Gateway Elementary, which receives a B rating on Niche and Varsity Middle School, which receives a C-plus. The B-plus-rated Lehigh Senior High School offers opportunities for dual enrollment credit and the Cambridge AICE Diploma. Students can also enroll in the school’s Academy of Digital & Media Arts, designed to develop artistic creativity in electronic communications. Graduates pursuing higher education while staying close to home may consider Florida Gulf Coast University, 8 miles away.
Events at the club with spring training games nearby
The Club at Westminster is the hub for community events and hosts outings like holiday celebrations and golf invitationals. The Westminster Men’s Open Invitational takes place every April, while the Ladies Club Championship is held every October. While Boston may be a long way away, many in the Fort Myers area are Red Sox fans, as the major league baseball team hosts their spring training at Jet Blue Park every year. The park is only 7 miles from the neighborhood, and the team plays exhibition games every March.Florida 82 connects to downtown Fort Myers
Florida 82 runs parallel to the neighborhood and connects to downtown Fort Myers, 11 miles away. Southwest Florida International Airport is 14 miles away and services numerous domestic and international destinations. LeeTran, the county’s public transportation system, has multiple bus stops on Lee Boulevard, which runs along the neighborhood’s northern border.Mugs N’ Jugs Family Grille has karaoke on the weekends
Mugs N’ Jugs Family Grille is one of the handful of restaurants that line Lee Boulevard. The pub-style eatery features classic American Fare and karaoke every Friday and Saturday night. Havana Bakery and Café is down the road and features a popular assortment of cupcakes, pastelitos and other baked goods. Publix Super Market at Crossroads Shopping Center provides the area with fresh groceries. More shopping and dining can be found at The Forum, a mixed-use commercial center 6 miles away.Hurricane Risk
Southwest Florida is prone to hurricanes, and Hurricane Ian hit Fort Myers in 2022. The Category 5 storm was the costliest in Florida’s history and brought widespread damage to the area. Westminster’s inland location provides protection from stronger storms, but Lee County still recommends that homeowners elect into the National Flood Insurance Program. “Lehigh Acres is on the rise,” says Lisa Vagner, a local Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Fort Myers. “More homebuyers are considering Lehigh Acres a safer neighborhood for hurricane season.”
