Coconut Point Town Center in Southwest Florida




Well the new Simon mall, called Coconut Point Town Center, has had it's official grand opening. As I drive by the mall located in the southern end of Estero close to the Bonita Springs City line, I see lots of activity. I went to the new movie theater, Muvico, and it was a very pleasant experience. We parked at Dillards and walked to the theater, about 4 blocks. Like walking downtown main street, in my home town. Very beautiful and lots to see. At night it is lit up very well and the lighting makes it very pleasant to walk. It is very attractive from US41 with all the store fronts and lighting at night, but the back side of the mall is like a main street and until you visit it you won't even notice the ambiance. Make a point to check it out. It features 41 stores that have not been in Southwest Florida before. If you would like more information on the local real estate market and the area contact me. As always make it a great day.

Spring Creek Village in Southwest Florida


This manufactured home community may be looking a little different in the future. The city of Bonita Springs passed an ordinance to allow Single family homes on Mobile Home 1 lots. This may mean a big change for this great village. It has gulf of Mexico access from the community boat launch and dock as well as many homes on canals and the creek itself. Lot sizes on canals are 50x75 but some dry lots are as big as 75x104. The setbacks are 5 feet on each side and 10 feet in the front and back. It is a 55+ community, which means one person that live there must be 55 years of age or older but you don't need to be 55 to own so it makes for a great investment. Just minutes to the gulf of Mexico by boat or by driving. Close to the new Coconut Point Town Center (the new Simon mall), SW Florida International Airport, Florida Gulf Coast University, Lely Beach, Ft. Myers Beach, Bonita Beach and between Naples and Fort Myers. For more information on this community and others please contact me. As always..........Make it a great Day....... the picture is a view of the creek.

Southwest Florida


Southwest Florida is a place many people love to live. The Gulf of Mexico is warm and calm most of the time, great for swimming or just watching. Peaceful! The beach is great for walking on, nice white sand. The sunsets are awesome, even on cloudy days, which makes the sky have great colors. I have stated to my friends I like the west coast of Florida better than the east coast because I'm up every evening to see the sunset but not up every morning to see the sun rise. The temperature surely will keep you coming back to SW Florida too. As always: Make it a great Day!!!!
