Fall in Love with Coconut Creek: Fort Myers’ Hidden Gem of Key West-Inspired Homes

If you're looking for a gated community in Fort Myers, Florida that offers mature landscaping, oversized lots, and true neighborhood charm, Coconut Creek should be at the top of your list. Tucked away just off historic McGregor Boulevard and minutes from the Caloosahatchee River, Coconut Creek is a small, established enclave that blends timeless elegance with modern-day comfort.

Let’s explore what makes Coconut Creek such a desirable place to live, and why buyers are always on the lookout for available homes here.

Prime Location in South Fort Myers

Coconut Creek is located in South Fort Myers off McGregor Boulevard, one of the most scenic and prestigious corridors in the area. Just minutes from downtown Fort Myers, the Sanibel Causeway, and Fort Myers Beach, residents enjoy easy access to shopping, dining, boating, and healthcare.

It’s the kind of community where you can sip your morning coffee on a quiet lanai, then be toes-in-the-sand at the beach by lunchtime.

Spacious Homes on Large Lots

One of the biggest draws of Coconut Creek is the generous homesites, many with half-acre lots, mature oaks, and tropical foliage. The homes are mostly custom-built, with a mix of single-family homes featuring:

• 3 to 4 bedrooms

• 2- or 3-car garages

• Soaring ceilings and open floor plans

• Screened lanais and private pools

• Brick paver driveways and charming architecture

Homes in Coconut Creek are rarely cookie-cutter. Each property offers its own unique character.

Gated Entry and Private Setting

This is a gated community with just over 80 homes, which adds a sense of privacy and peace of mind. Because the community is small and established, you’ll often see neighbors out walking their dogs, riding bikes, or gathering for community events. Coconut Creek isn’t just a neighborhood, it’s a tight-knit community with timeless appeal.

Community Amenities

Coconut Creek may be low in HOA fees, but it doesn’t skimp on amenities. Residents enjoy:

• Community pool and spa

• Clubhouse for private events or social gatherings

• Private roads with sidewalks

• Beautiful preserve areas and natural surroundings

It’s perfect for those who want a little more space, a lot more privacy, and just enough community connection.

• Publix, Costco, and other shopping centers
