A cold glass of lemonade on a shady porch.. News of far-flung family and friends. A warm welcome after a long journey. This was the scene played out at every plantation in the Old South and the West Indies when friends came to visit. In this day of hurried lives lived in overdrive, wouldn’t it be nice to come home to a place that captures something of this graciousness? Refined for today’s sensibilities, that’s the idea behind The Plantation.The Plantation has a community to suit your lifestyle whether you're a working professional or a lover of golf. Thanks to its ideal location just east of I-75 at Daniels Parkway and Treeline Avenue in Fort Myers, all residents will be a short distance away from what’s important to them. Florida Gulf Coast University is just minutes away. With an elementary, middle and high school in the area, The Plantation is ideal for families. Seasonal residents will find that their gate at the Southwest Florida International Airport is just minutes from our front gate. Everyone will appreciate the easy access to shopping, including the upscale Bell Tower Shops. As the center of social activity for the surrounding district, a plantation would host events a few times a year: ice cream socials, dances, and special celebrations at holidays. Fortunately, enjoying yourself and interacting with your neighbors is a daily opportunity at The Plantation—and no invitation is required. Your activity options depend on the community you choose, but all offer a chance to socialize with your neighbors, participate in sports, learn new skills, and get involved.
