The Forest Country Club, Fort Myers Homes For Sale

Community history and character

Development started in the late 1970s and continued through the 1990s. The original plan preserved thick pine and cypress stands, and those trees are now full grown.

Two golf courses were routed through the trees rather than around them, which gives the layouts a quiet, secluded feel unusual for Fort Myers.

Because homes date from several decades, the community attracts buyers who want larger lots and are open to updating a solid home to their own taste.

Buying or selling inside The Forest, 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.
