This community is in Lee County, so property taxes follow the county millage plus any community-specific assessments.
Lennar has not published a CDD or HOA figure for this community yet. Townhome communities usually carry an HOA that covers exterior maintenance; confirm the amount, and ask whether a CDD applies, before you buy. For context, the Lee County figure in our FY2025-26 millage file is a typical total of about 15.97 mills, and actual parcel totals vary by municipality and taxing district, so treat it as a planning number, not a quote.
Source: Momentum Realty millage file (FY2025-26, seeded from county property appraisers and Florida TaxWatch county averages), plus our Lee County property tax guide.When homesites are released, confirm the base price, any lot premium, and the monthly HOA in writing, since low-maintenance townhome living is part of the value here.
Schools
This community would be served by the Lee County School District. Confirm the assigned elementary, middle, and high schools for the specific address before you buy.
