Camden Square is a gated community in Fort Myers, right at Plantation Road and Crystal Drive, so folks living here can get to Southwest Florida International Airport, I-75, beaches like Ft. Myers Beach and Sanibel Island, and plenty of shops, restaurants, parks, and trails without much trouble, and you know, it sits real close to some golf courses and arts spots, so you've got things to do nearby all year long. The place runs about 96 to 104 single-family homes, with most homes offering views of lakes or green preserves, and those homes come in a bunch of modern styles with options for two to five bedrooms and two to four bathrooms, and you're looking at sizes between about 1,600 and 3,700 square feet, plus you can pick from six LifeTested® home designs and sometimes even go a little bigger or add extras like upstairs lofts, sunrooms, or lanais if that's needed, and there's also choices in square footage and some homes offer kitchen islands for everyday use and entertaining.
The developers, Pulte Homes, put in underground utilities for storm safety, and they've tied the grid into the nearby Gulf Coast Medical Center, so these homes haven't had trouble with power outages or major storm damage so far, and the homes have smart tech like Nest thermostats, security cameras, Yale smart locks, along with carbon monoxide and smoke detectors running from one app, plus there's a Kinetico water softener system and a natural gas hookup in each house. Yards are usually a good size, with some fenced for privacy or gardening, and some come with mature fruit trees and native landscaping if you like a more natural feel around you, and the sidewalks throughout make walking or biking pretty pleasant and safe within the gates.
Now, when it comes to getting out and about in Camden Square, folks have access to a bunch of shared spaces, like a heated resort-style pool with cabana and lounge chairs, an outdoor grilling area, a fire pit where you might spot neighbors chatting in the evenings, and there's a clubhouse and fitness center that residents can use for gatherings or just getting in some daily exercise. For anyone with kids or grandkids visiting, there's a tot lot and a half-court basketball area, and younger ones tend to spend plenty of time on the playground. Many homes have good views of the lake or green spaces, making for some pretty mornings or evenings, and the neighborhood itself is laid out with landscaped paths and common areas meant for walking or just taking it easy outside. Home prices start in the $200's, and the average age of residents here is about 55, with individual incomes averaging around $62,000, so there's a mix of working folks and retirees both calling Camden Square home.
The homes are finished with updated kitchens and laundry appliances, and there's model homes opening soon, so people can get a sense of what the different home layouts feel like as they walk through, and since the place didn't flood during storms and sits on hospital power, peace of mind is a real part of daily life here. Some homes have lofts that work well for a second living room, guest space, or office, and there's options with two or three bedrooms-and enough bathrooms to make life easier for company or family. Between the security of the gated entrance, the neighborly setup of the common areas, the modern appliances and resilience features, and the easy access to what's around in Fort Myers, Camden Square tries to offer a steady, comfortable place for folks wanting to enjoy their days without a lot of fuss.
