Lighthouse Bay at The Brooks, found in Bonita Springs, spans 162 acres and holds 654 single-family homes in a setting of lakes, preserves, and neatly kept grounds. Residents see views of lakes and wildlife preserves every day, with water everywhere and green spaces covering 70 acres, including a 26-acre wildlife reserve. The community's 44 acres of stocked lakes have 52 tiered fountains and five cobblestone bridges, two of which are navigable, while paths go past more than 12,000 trees and 94,000 bushes and plants. People walk or sit by the water, where outdoor beauty stands out and things feel quiet and open, with low density and room to move around.
The main clubhouse, called The Commons Club, brings people together for fitness, group activities, special events, and meals, while five swimming pools, tennis courts, a bocce area, and a tennis center with a shop give choices for daily routines. Lighthouse Bay has a dedicated management team, including a Property Manager, Lifestyle Director, and others, who respond to residents' needs and supervise third-party contractors for maintenance, landscape care, and daily operations. The Homeowners' Association sets rules, collects a $946 monthly fee, and guides change through the Architectural Review Board, which reviews any outside home updates. The grounds are gated and private, offering a sense of security, with the management office at 23740 Old Lighthouse Road open weekdays and always ready for emergencies. Staff like Captain Ron Mishko and tennis pro Jorge Magalhaes help keep things running smoothly, and the Lighthouse Bay Charitable Foundation backs local causes.
Life here centers on independence and support, with personalized help available for meals, dressing, daily activities, and medication management. Respite care gives regular caregivers a break when needed, and the community prepares regular meals with attention to dietary needs and allergies. Activities and clubs encourage connection, fitness classes run often-even on YouTube for those who want to join from home-and events fill up the community calendar. Telephone and Wi-Fi or high-speed internet services help residents stay in touch and up-to-date. The area has several nearby shops, parks, churches, restaurants, doctors, and hospitals, which makes getting out and meeting friends or seeing healthcare providers as easy as possible.
Residents log in to a private portal to read news, see photos, or join groups. With most homes facing water, a strong focus on green spaces, and a well-kept landscape, Lighthouse Bay offers a steady, quiet place for people who like space, nature, and being part of a thoughtful, organized neighborhood.
