About Fort Myers' Gateway

Pictured is a Bank Owned Home located in the gated community of Stoneybrooke in Fort Myers Florida

Fort Myers Florida Real Estate written by Joe Kendall Broker Associate with Sandals Realty. Many people when looking to buy a home in a gated community make a mistake by not researching the Home Ownership Associations ( HOA ) before starting their home search. I always suggest as a new home buyer here in Southwest Florida you read up and understand whats services are included and what services are offered and the lifestyle of each home Community. I have listed below the definitions of Florida Home Owners Associations and their meaning below.

Condominium Association (Condo) - When you own a condo it's typically located in a building with several other units and home owners. Condo ownership everyone shares in the ownership of the common areas The common areas, for example, include the structure of your particular unit, each building, club house and pool !

All owners of a condo are members of the condo association and pay a condo association fees. The fee typically includes money for repair and maintenance, ( reserves for major capital expenditures! very important and not all associations do this !), structure of the building and liability insurance for the common areas of the complete development.

The condo owner purchases (condo-owner's content insurance ) The cost for these is typically very low especially when compared to a homeowner's policy. When comparing monthly costs be sure include the cost for insurance plus the condo fee.

Home Owners Association (HOA) - is formed to manage a group of single family homes. HOA fees are levied to run the corporation and pay for items like common area maintenance, capital maintenance (e.g. club house or pool), The fees can include the exterior maintenance of lawns and landscaped areas.

Master Homeowners Association (Master HOA) - Master Owners Association as the corporation formed will usually own, through deed, property that is common to a development where there are one or more HOAs and/or condos.

it's always wise to work with a real estate professional when visiting these types of ownerships so you understand all the lifestyle arrangements in place in the different communities. I have listed many of the associations websites below. I am sure you will find this information helpful

Gateway Fort Myers Waterfront

So...you like Gateway Fort Myers, and...you like Waterfront homes...Let's talk about some of the possibilities of purchasing a Gateway Fort Myers waterfront home.

Take a look at the picture to your right. Doesn't it just make you relax? That's why so many find the Gateway Fort Myers waterfront homes so attractive.

If you are familiar with the area, you also know the Red Sox spring training facility is scheduled to complete construction for the 2012 spring training season. It will be located just outside the main entrance (Daniel's Parkway) of Gateway.

Some of the best bargains for Gateway Fort Myers waterfront homes are in the following communities:

-Stoneybrook at Gateway

-Daniel's Preserve

-Hampton Park

-Silver Lakes

Since these communities have spectacular deals on waterfront homes, I have put together this list of all of the waterfront homes in Gateway Fort Myers. You should also notice that I have them listed from least expensive to most expensive, because I want you to get as good of a deal as possible.

One mistake that you will want to avoid, though, is thinking that there are better deals out there. I have seen many people go into their search thinking that the market is just so awful that they can pay under market value for anything they find. Well, the truth in the statement is that the prices (for the most part) reflect the current condition of the market. If you want to purchase a foreclosure property, you will need to know that the bank sets the list price very aggressively and wants to find a buyer at or above the list price.

We work with a large number of buyers and sellers in Gateway, so we'll be happy to help you make the right decision. Your comments below are welcomed. You can also call directly at the number below.
