Catalina Isles - Ft. Myers

The A+ neighborhoods & Properties are still selling strong!
With all the Real Estate gloom & doom out there, I thought this would be a
great story. It's truly amazing how fast the homes are selling out in the Catalina Isles
 Neighborhood!!! I counted 22 homes under construction, and I'm sure there are more under permit.
All week long are suppliers, construction workers, lunch trucks, &
Realtors working. This neighborhood is getting close to being sold out. I have been informed that DR. Horton, the Builder has acquired Banyan Bay (a neighborhood just
South of here). Ryland homes started building there but stopped during the Real Estate slow down. As a Licensed Florida Realtor, I could choose just about anywhere to live.
In my opinion it's about location, quality construction, amenities and where
we can get the best bang for our buck.
For my family, Catalina Isles fits all the above criteria.
1. Location- Catalina Isles is nestled between a Huge Nature preserve
and the South end of Winkler Avenue, Approximately 1 mile South of the
 Summerlin/Winkler intersection. Close to Lakes park, a brand new WA-KE
 HATCHEE COMMUNITY PARK a 25+ acre park include walking trails, tennis
 courts, dog park, playground and restroom facilities. Ten minutes to Fort
Myers Beach. Fifteen minutes to Sanibel Island. One traffic light to Health
 Park Hospital, and 20 minutes to downtown Fort Myers.
 2. Quality Construction- A world class builder, D.R. Horton stands by
 their product. Instead of gambling on an abused Foreclosure or Short Sale,
 clients prefer a brand new house that's competitively priced with a
 warrantee.
3. Amenities- A Gated community with a club house, pool, playground, &
exercise room with a beautiful lake view that's not too over the top. I love
that all the maintenance is bundled at a very reasonable price.
4. Prices that compete with anywhere in Lee County.
