Waterside At Bay Beach

What kind of place it is

Association dues here run about $1,723 a month for the typical home, though they run from $909 to $2,216 depending on which building or product you are in. That is what the listings say they are paying, not a quote, and it is the number people forget when they work out what they can afford.

Middle and high school here run on school choice rather than a fixed zone, and each high school has its own focus. Fort Myers is advanced academics, South Fort Myers is career and technical, Cypress Lake runs the Center for the Arts, Dunbar leans to cybersecurity and networking. Which one suits depends on the child, not the address, so it is worth a conversation with the district before you assume anything.

Read off the 18 homes for sale here, and listed only where most of those listings agree. Anything one or two agents claimed on their own is left out, which means this is shorter than the brochure and likelier to be true. Associations change their rules, so confirm anything that would change your mind.
