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.”

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.

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.”

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.
