A vibrant and expanding Floridian community
The aptly named Central Bonita Springs sits at the heart of the action on Florida’s coast. Located just five miles from the beach, this historic neighborhood has the comfortable, predictable feel of a suburb with the amenities of both the beach and the big city. “You’re not far from the beach or dining, and it’s a great area for Airbnb,” says Realtor Amanda Barcenas of MVP Realty, who’s been working in the area for five years. Local artists’ murals populate public spaces alongside a variety of small businesses. The homes in this community rest on a gridded patchwork of streets, with many parks on the residential side and fishing and swimming available at the beach. “It’s a very up-and-coming cultural area with lots of young families moving in,” says Barcenas. Folks making this move have the best of it all in their backyard.
Three-bedroom bungalows and ranch-styles in Central Bonita Springs
Unlike surrounding areas, homes in this neighborhood are not as prone to natural disasters. “It’s not a flood zone, so owners aren’t hit with flood premium costs. It’s a really good area for the money,” says Barcenas. Central Bonita Springs’ Cul de sacs form an oblong grid pattern. Home styles vary from block to block, but the lots they rest on are consistent in size and shape. Bungalow and ranch styles are common, featuring yards fit for flower bushes or a barbecue with friends. Paved driveways and attached garages are typical for the standard three-bedroom builds. Pricing averages between $250,000 and $650,000, with the high end of the range belonging to homes with pools or more contemporary architectural influences.
