Gated golf course community with tons of recreation

Westminster is a gated golf course community in Lehigh Acres that offers convenience to both recreational amenities and the vibrant areas of Fort Myers. The neighborhood features classic country club facilities, including tennis courts, swimming pools and a highly rated semi-private golf course. Those traveling farther are just 11 miles from downtown Fort Myers and 23 miles from the beach. The neighborhood offers various single-family and multifamily housing options, and homeowners can retreat from their Southwest Florida adventures to quiet, palm-tree-lined streets. “There are single-family homes, attached villas, really whatever lifestyle you want, you have it here,” says Marge Bennett, local broker associate at REMAX Realty Group. “It’s a nice, well-maintained community that many find pleasant.”

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.

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.”
Westminster, Ft. Myers, is in a hurricane risk zone.
