Fort Myers residential living with country club access

Legend has it, Whiskey Creek’s origins date back to the days of prohibition, when bootleggers traveled the nearby creek. Today, residents of this community still enjoy boating the neighborhood’s small waterway while also taking advantage of nearby amenities like the Whiskey Creek Country Club. The community features a variety of housing types on lots that run larger than surrounding areas. And residents retreating from their outdoor explorations will return to a close community with palm-tree-lined streets. “It’s a very quiet place and very desirable,” says Veldin ‘Dean’ Miskic, local associate broker with eXp Realty. “People aren’t traveling through often, and it feels like a private community sometimes.” Residential seclusion and a well-connected location go hand in hand here, as the neighborhood is only 6 miles from downtown Fort Myers and 11 miles from the beach.

Florida ranch-style homes and waterfront property

The neighborhood features single-family and multifamily housing options on streets line with palm trees. Florida Ranch homes are the predominant style, often with lush, manicured, lawns. “The landscaping is what I like about it,” Miskic says. “It's beautiful, and it's deed restricted, so homeowners do have to maintain the value of their property.” Spanish Revivals with stucco exteriors and tiled roofs can be found scattered throughout. Many have screened-in backyard swimming pools. Pet-friendly condo complexes present a multifamily option, typically priced between $200,000 and $400,000, while single-family builds range from $400,000 to $700,000. There is a small pocket of waterfront property with direct gulf access along a canal. Houses here tend to run larger and feature Coastal Contemporary style architecture with private docks. Waterfront prices range from $900,000 to $1.4 million.
