About WildBlue

The short version

WildBlue is a gated community of 673 single-family homes in Fort Myers. Day to day, the nearest golf course, Wildcat Run Golf & Country Club, is about 2.4 miles straight-line from the community's center; the nearest library, South County Regional Library, is about 4 miles away; the nearest emergency room, HCA Alico Rd Emergency Room, about 3.9 miles.

Amenities — community amenities centered on the WildBlue lake system and lakefront clubhouse (amenity list compiled from WildBlue's community materials and market descriptions, so confirm current amenities with the association) — include an approximately 800-acre lake system for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing, a lakefront clubhouse with a resort-style pool, a restaurant and bar, a fitness center and movement studio, tennis and pickleball courts, a day spa and nail salon, a boat launch and lakeside beach area, a gated entry.

On paper, the community sits in evacuation zone D, and all of its mapped flood features (100%) fall in zone X, outside the high-risk flood area. The average assessed just value across its 777 residential parcels was $1,273,944 in the county's 2026 roll.

Questions residents ask

Is WildBlue gated?
Yes — Lee County records list it as a gated community.

Zone D, per Lee County Emergency Management (checked August 2026). Always confirm your exact address on the county's official lookup before a storm. Check your address ↗

Who built WildBlue?
WildBlue is a gated lakefront community in unincorporated Lee County (south of Estero), developed beginning around 2017 with homes by several builders across its neighborhoods. Its defining feature is a roughly 800-acre lake system for boating and watersports, with a lakefront clubhouse as the amenity centerpiece; there is no golf course. The Lee County GIS boundary for the core WildBlue polygon records about 673 residential units (the adjacent 'Vista WildBlue'/VistaBlue plat is a separate neighborhood not counted here). The community development district on the tax bill is the WildBlue CDD ($3,682.92 on the sampled bill), whose name matches the community (Lee County GIS, the sampled 2025 tax bill, and WildBlue community materials, checked August 2026).
Is WildBlue in a flood zone?
No — all of its mapped flood features (100%) are zone X, outside the high-risk area. That's county map data — not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes — so check your parcel on the official lookup.
