Laguna Lakes - Fort Myers, Florida

Dominic Mazzotta

Excellent area in Fort Myers. Beautiful grounds and a safe, secure community.

We bought a home here after staying the winter in fort Myers. Convenient to everything, nestled between but far enough away from two heavy traffic roads. Just 7 miles from the beach! Nice neighbors with well kept grounds and amenities.

Laguna Lakes: the relatively new, well-known, and attractive community that offers quality residence at the expense of what seems to be a diminishing accessibility to the community's amenities. The houses are well-constructed and strong, and the environment comes as close as a community can get to immaculate. The external sanitation and environment staff proves to be a quality investment, as they do a fantastic job getting Laguna Lakes pretty close to immaculate, in terms of cleanliness. The quiet, calm neighborhood maintains its peace pretty well, and it's simply nice. However, over the course of my decade of living here, I've come to believe that the heart of Laguna Lakes: the clubhouse and pool (and depending on who you ask, the park, as well) has become much more restricted. Of course, its reasonable that restrictions are placed due to security purposes, but it goes beyond that. It feels like you have to be a detective to figure out how to enter the billiards room (the keycard unlock is extremely unreliable), the security rules have made it so that, even when accompanied by adult, you cannot be in the clubhouse/billiards room/ gym (?) past a relatively early time (fluctuates from around 8:00-9:00pm), which is around the times where a good amount of people want to chill out and enjoy themselves within the community after a long day of responsibilities and obligations. It seems that the security have become dismissive of the fact that we pay for these amenities, yet we are still restricted from them half of the time. Furthermore, it seems to me that the community likes to take their sweet time to fix things within the clubhouse. They spent half a year to barely remodel the billiards room, so it scares me to see how long the residents will have to wait for them to clear other potential issues like mold. In all, resident accessibility to the amenities we pay for seem to become more restrictive as the years go by. Laguna Lakes is close to a hospital (great, because we live on their power grid, too) and its an ideal place to live. If you like a good environment and quality housing at the expense of common limitations to accessing the amenities in the community, then this is the place for you.

(It is also important to take into account that this was just based on my own experience.)

For those of you that might be looking for a community in South Fort Myers to live in for a long time this morning is a great location, they keep the grounds really clean and neat. All the houses match in color and Roofing Style. The area is close to shopping, gas stations, not too far from the freeway, and fairly close to schools.

Best community living in SW Florida. Have lived in Laguna Lakes for 21 years...best relocation we ever made.

Drove to the 'older' section to the left where the condos are and backed into a mailbox because the streets are SO narrow and everyone parks out in the street!! NOT a very comfortable feeling neighborhood to be in, let alone drive through.

WARNING: DO NOT MOVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
if you are looking forward to a bunch of strict rules that are irrelevant then this is the perfect place for you!
Rule #1: you can’t park on the side of the road so if you have guests you better find somewhere else for them to park

Rule #2: residents can not even park at the club house parking past 12am unless you get a pass (which means this is super inconvinant if you have last minute plans and have people coming over you should’ve gotten the pass in the day time from someone in the office...but too late now!!!)

Rule #3: you can’t be at the hot tub/ pool area past 5:30 since that’s when the sun sets and that is when the area closes (maybe the neighborhood should consider keeping the hot tub area open until 9/10 considering people like to relax there at the end of the day?)

Rule #4: DONT forget to bring your trash can up the next day or you will get a fine

Honestly I should just move into gulf harbour considering their neighborhood is 10X nicer and doesn’t even have as strict of rules as them.

Laguna lakes committee PLEASE take into consideration you’re forcing people to want to move somewhere else.

Upscale, Mediterranean-style, centralized community with great amenities such as a spacious clubhouse with gym, pool, spa, rec room, etc. I always enjoy visiting friends and spending time in this neighborhood.
