Wildblue

The lakes are the star here. Residents boat, kayak, paddleboard, fish and even water ski, with boat ramps, boat slip rentals, kayak storage and a sandy beach area. The amenity campus includes lakefront restaurants and bars, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center and resort-style pools. More than 1,300 acres are protected preserve, and the British West Indies style architecture makes the whole community feel like a resort.

WildBlue sits between Corkscrew and Alico Roads, minutes from I-75, RSW, FGCU and the shopping and dining around Estero. Naples and downtown Fort Myers are both an easy drive.

WildBlue was built by a group of well-known builders: Lennar, Pulte, WCI and Stock. That means you'll see a wide range of floor plans and price points, from single-family lake homes to custom estates on the Peninsula. Many homes have lake or preserve views, and a lot of them are newer construction.
