Cape Coral gated community HOA fees explained

Living inside a Cape Coral community or development often appeals to many Cape Coral home buyers. The thought of having great amenities tucked inside a secure gate in Cape Coral is appealing. Living with others who have the same interests and perhaps a similar lifestyle can certainly be enticing. Cape Coral has many gated communities that offer diversity in lifestyle from the highly exclusive private to the amenity rich Cape Coral communities with a mix of condos, villas and single-family homes.

Living in a gated community in Cape Coral does come at a price, all communities will have some type of (HOA) home owners association fee. Often if it is a condo they may have a master fee and a condo fee, you need to pay special attention to that. The amount is usually dependent upon the amenities offered, how many residents in the community, and what services are provided.

There may even be special assessments in a community so make sure to have your agent help you research the financials of any Cape Coral community you may be interested in.

Lee County Florida School Choice

Lee County School Choice

Lee County Florida School Choice Options

Are you considering a move into Lee County Florida with your family? Many families make the move to Lee County each and every week. The sun and beaches are great but what about our schools?

One of the great things about Lee County schools is your ability to pick what school your child(ren) go to. Lee County School District offers parents what is known as school choice. School Choice in Lee County is great for parents to have control over their child’s education. With school choice you can choose schools within your zone(s) to send your kids. It seems sort of funny if you are used to school districts being separate and thinking about students going to school close to home; but, with school choice you could actually drive past several different schools on your way to your school.

From the LeeSchools.net website:

(for the most up to date school choice info and to get help making your choices you can call Lee County School choice at 239-242-2059 in Cape Coral or at 239-337-8347 for Fort Myers or Lehigh Acres). Florida Future Realty can help you with purchasing or selling a home. Thanks)

Zones and School Selection- The District has created three sub-zones within each zone.

  • Families living in sub-zone 1 will select schools physically located within sub zone 1 and sub zone 2, and Zone Magnet schools if any
  • Families living within sub-zone 2 will be able to select among all schools within the entire zone.
  • Families living in sub-zone 3 will select among schools physically located in sub-zone 3 and sub-zone 2, and Zone Magnet schools if any.
  • Parents and students are expected to list all the schools in their sub-zone, in rank order. Every attempt will be made to assign students to the highest preference school possible.
