Pelican Preserve, Fort Myers Homes For Sale
Pelican Preserve is one of the most amenity rich 55 and better communities in Fort Myers. The Town Center alone functions like a private resort.
Community history and character
Development started in the late 1990s off Treeline Avenue, close to the airport and shopping on Daniels Parkway. That location is still one of its biggest advantages.
The plan set aside a large cypress preserve at the center of the community with a boardwalk and nature trail, so residents get quiet green space along with a busy amenity core.
Because the community built out over more than two decades, there is real variety in price and style, from modest attached homes to larger estate homes on the golf course.

Buying or selling inside Pelican Preserve, Fort Myers
Inside a single community, price per square foot swings with view, build year, and whether the lanai faces morning or afternoon sun. I price from sales inside the gate first, then compare against nearby communities.
Sellers here compete with their own neighbors, so presentation decides the winner. I use professional photography and video on every listing regardless of price.
Dues and club fees change over time and vary by home type, so I confirm current figures in writing for the exact property rather than publishing a general number.
