Southwest Florida Has Something For Everyone

February 28, 2011 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Are you tired of the rat race that has you in your car on the way to work at 7am and then back home at 8 in the evening? Would you like to believe there is a real alternative, where you can live in a relaxing environment, more time for leisure activities and access to all the things you love like the beach and golf courses?

Southwest Florida is all this and more, with a great climate all year round and all the facilities you could want for yourself and your family. All here to enhance your life, rather than making you sit in traffic jams.

One of the most outstanding communities on the Southwest Florida peninsula is Bonita Springs, which is also known as the “Gateway to the Gulf”. Bonita Springs was not so long ago a sleepy fishing village, but now enjoys the reputation of being one of the most prestigious residential locations in the state.

The beaches are renowned for their cleanliness and beauty, and feel just like a tropical resort rather than a residential community. The golf courses at Bonita Springs are world-class and other activities include fishing, boating, tennis, and so much more.

Real estate in Bonita Springs tends to be aimed at the second home owner, and the established communities are more high-end. That said, there are also new developments in the area which offer more affordable living, inland from the coast, yet still within reach of all the amenities. If it’s a holiday destination you’re looking for then condominiums in Bonita Springs offer the best way to pay less and get more.

Fort Myers is another prime area situated on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River. Once the home of pineapple plantations and cattle farms, it was named after Colonel Abraham Myers, and still manages to blend its rich history with spectacular new developments. The prime attraction of the region is the moderate winter climate which draws many retirees to the area from all over the country.

Fort Myers even has a Recreational Department which organizes activities for young and old alike, from boating to swimming, and ball games to dancing.

Fort Myers real estate appeals to a wide demographic, with everything from affordable cottages, to Art Deco mansions overlooking the river. There are a number of exclusive gated communities for those looking for security and peace of mind, and condominiums line the shoreline for holiday seekers to have a place to come and relax.

No matter where you choose to live in the Southwest Florida region, rest and recreation is the top priority and housing options all revolve around maximizing use of the great climate and facilities.

As a holiday or retirement destination, Florida has everything you could want for a restful time. Real estate options are available for everyone, and prices range from $150,000 for a condo, or modest 3 bedroom house, to $10 million for a spectacular waterside villa. It all depends on your needs, and your budget.

If you are looking for Bundled Golf in Naples at an exceptional value, look no further, Vanderbilt Country Club is the place to be.  I was just stopping by today to pick up a lockbox on a rental, and I thought I would stop by the clubhouse, golf course, take a couple of pictures…You know, get in the way and make people feel uncomfortable…  Well this was not the case at all.  Everyone was so polite and accomodating.  Unusually for this time of the year, there were so many events taking place.  There were ladies playing cards, a lunch function, the golf course was packed; and the sun wasn’t even out(it was overcast for most of the early afternoon).
