Bonita Springs, Then and Now
I remember coming to Bonita Springs as a small child. It was a dusty small town and a slice of Florida Americana life. Downtown became even dustier when the Tamiami Trail was rerouted in the 1970s. When I moved here permanently in 1985 it still had that small-town charm. The growth had begun.
This is where I raised my family. My children attended Estero High School because Bonita Springs High School had not been built yet. They went on to Florida Gulf Coast University (also known as Dunk City) and then graduate school.
Who would have imagined it all those years ago? Restaurants like the Lemon Tree on Old 41 Road used to close for the summer and board up their windows. Those days are long gone. Today, across the street from that same spot, there is live music every night.
This little town has grown from a couple of thousand people into the mecca it is today. We used to have to “go to town” for clothing or specialty shopping. Now it is all at our fingertips. We have Michelin-recognized restaurants. Who would have thought? We have acclaimed builders, designer stores, boutiques, spas and celebrity sightings. When I worked at the Shangri-La Hotel in the 1980s I never dreamed it would become the beautiful event destination it is today.

Bonita Springs Luxury Real Estate: Frequently Asked Questions
What are the most exclusive gated communities in Bonita Springs?
Bonita Bay is the best-known luxury gated community in Bonita Springs, with 2,400 acres, five championship golf courses through the Bonita Bay Club, a private full-service marina, a Gulf beach park and 24-hour manned security. Just to the north, Shadow Wood at The Brooks sits in the Village of Estero but still carries the 34135 Bonita Springs ZIP code, so many buyers think of it as part of Bonita Springs. It offers large-lot estate homes and membership in the member-owned Commons Club.
Which Bonita Springs communities have the highest home values?
Bonita Bay, Barefoot Beach and Pelican Landing are among the highest-value communities in Bonita Springs. Barefoot Beach is a gated beachfront enclave on Little Hickory Island with direct Gulf-front estates. Pelican Landing offers a broad mix of single-family homes and coach homes along with The Colony towers and its own island beach park.
What is the best waterfront community in Bonita Springs?
Bonita Bay is widely considered the premier waterfront community in Bonita Springs, anchored by a private full-service marina with access to the Gulf and homes overlooking the bay. For direct beachfront rather than bay and marina access, Barefoot Beach is the leading alternative, with Gulf-front estates, villas and boat-dock homes along Little Hickory Bay.
Which communities offer Gulf-access boating, private docks and beach club access?
Bonita Bay has a private marina with Gulf access. Barefoot Beach offers Gulf-access homes with private boat docks plus direct beach frontage. Owners at The Brooks, including Shadow Wood, can add a membership in the Commons Club, whose top level includes a private beach club on Little Hickory Island. That gives residents beach access without living directly on the water.
What are the best private golf communities in Bonita Springs?
Bonita Bay leads with five championship golf courses through the Bonita Bay Club. Shadow Wood at The Brooks, in Estero with a Bonita Springs ZIP code, features three private Robert Cupp-designed courses. Both are member clubs rather than public courses, which is part of what keeps them exclusive. The golf membership communities guide and the bundled golf guide cover the rest.
Where can I buy a luxury condo with a Gulf view in Bonita Springs?
The high-rise towers of Bonita Bay, including Tavira, offer high-floor residences with panoramic bay and Gulf views, along with features like private elevators and designer interiors. Barefoot Beach offers Gulf-front condos and villas at the southern tip of Little Hickory Island for buyers who want the beach right outside the door. See the Bonita Springs high-rise condos guide for more.
Is Bonita Springs or Naples better for luxury waterfront living?
Both offer beautiful waterfront and golf living. Bonita Springs is often more affordable than Naples by comparison, though much of the difference comes down to proximity to amenities such as Gulf access and the beach. Naples is known for its Gulf-front towers and Fifth Avenue polish. Bonita Springs has a quieter, more relaxed character with a growing downtown on the Imperial River.
What price range should I expect for luxury homes in Bonita Springs?
Luxury in Bonita Springs generally starts at about $1 million and goes up from there. Where a home falls depends on the community, the club and above all the water: Gulf access and closeness to the beach carry the highest values.
What should luxury home buyers know before buying in Bonita Springs?
Florida has no state income tax, a meaningful factor for buyers relocating from higher-tax states. Private aviation is a short drive away at Naples Airport. Buyers should also plan for flood and wind insurance on coastal property and ask whether a community requires a club membership, which is separate from the purchase of the home.
How do I find current luxury home listings in Bonita Springs?
Luxury inventory changes constantly, so the most reliable way to see what is actually available is a live, filtered search rather than a static list. Start with the advanced home search.
How do I choose the right luxury real estate agent in Bonita Springs?
Look for genuine, long-term local knowledge, not just general sales volume. Bonita Bay, Barefoot Beach and the communities of The Brooks each have different club, membership and HOA structures an agent needs to know cold. Chris Griffith of The Griffith Group has lived in Bonita Springs since 1985 and has been a REALTOR® since 1998. When vetting any agent, ask about recent closed sales in the exact community you are targeting and familiarity with club membership processes.
