About Sabal Springs
Sabal Springs is a gated community of 769 single-family homes in North Fort Myers, built around an 18-hole semi-private golf course and golf shop. Day to day, the nearest golf course, Sabal Springs Golf & Racquett Club, is about 0.2 miles straight-line from the community's center; the nearest library, North Fort Myers Public Library, is about 2.5 miles away; the nearest hospital, Lee County VA Clinic, about 2.9 miles.
Amenities — owned and operated by Sabal Springs Golf & Racquet Club / the Sabal Springs Homeowners' Association — include an 18-hole semi-private golf course and golf shop, a clubhouse with an on-site restaurant (Eagles Landing at Sabal Springs), a swimming pool and spa, shuffleboard courts, tennis courts, a staffed gatehouse with front-gate vehicle transponder access.
On paper, the community sits in evacuation zone D, and about half of its mapped flood features (50%) fall in zone X, outside the high-risk flood area. The average assessed just value across its 801 residential parcels was $285,835 in the county's 2026 roll.
Sabal Springs Golf & Racquet Club sits just off I-75 in North Fort Myers, built around its own semi-private 18-hole golf course and organized as a single, long-established homeowners association rather than a newer, builder-controlled community. Lee County property records show most of its 769 single-family homes went up between 1989 and 2002, and the Sabal Springs Homeowners' Association, Inc. has been a continuously active Florida not-for-profit corporation since it was first filed on October 18, 1988 (Sunbiz Document No. N28898) — among the older gated HOAs in this stretch of North Fort Myers. Today the association is professionally managed by Alliant Property Management, with an on-site HOA office at 3410 Clubview Drive and a resident-elected board whose officers are named individuals rather than developer staff, a structural marker of a community that passed control to its homeowners long ago (Sunbiz entity detail, checked September 2026).
The defining fact for prospective buyers is that Sabal Springs is a federally recognized 55-and-older community. The association's own Rules and Regulations, dated June 23, 2026, devote a full section to this: at least 80 percent of homes must be occupied by a resident age 55 or older to satisfy the Federal Fair Housing Act, HUD's occupancy verification rule (24 C.F.R. 100.307), and the Florida Fair Housing Act, and the board conducts an age-verification survey of residents no less often than every two years. Anyone under 18 is barred from permanently living in the community, though children may visit for up to 45 days per calendar year. That same document sets the tone for day-to-day life here: no more than two household pets, exterior and landscaping changes go through an Architectural Review Committee before work starts, and a graduated fine schedule (from $100 up to $1,000-plus for repeat violations) backs up compliance.
Amenities run through the golf club at the community's center: an 18-hole semi-private course and pro shop, a clubhouse that houses an on-site restaurant, a swimming pool and spa, shuffleboard courts and tennis courts, all behind a staffed gatehouse that issues RFID transponders to residents and approved renters. Gate rules are specific — one transponder per vehicle, no handheld units, and renters must present an HOA-approved lease before theirs is activated — which is worth knowing if a purchase will be used seasonally or leased out. Recreational vehicles are allowed only under tight conditions: owned by the lot owner or immediate family, parked in the driveway for no more than two nights at a time, with a two-round-trip-per-month cap, and guests may not bring RVs into the community at all. Commercial trucks, boats and boat trailers generally cannot be stored on-site outside a garage.
On the records side, Lee County GIS places about half of Sabal Springs in flood zone X and half in zone A, inside hurricane evacuation zone D and storm surge zone 4, within the North Fort Myers Fire District's coverage area, with Lee County Utilities providing water and the Florida Governmental Utility Authority providing sewer service. Twelve months of qualified county sales data show 49 recorded transactions with a median price of about $299,900, ranging roughly from $180,000 to $425,000 — a useful reference point, not a current listing price (Lee County GIS and Property Appraiser data, checked September 2026). Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 15.5 straight-line miles away. As with any HOA, confirm current dues, the age-verification process and community rules directly with Alliant Property Management or the Sabal Springs board before making an offer; this page is an independent, records-based starting point and is not affiliated with the association, the golf club or any management company.
