Who developed Sandoval?
Sandoval was developed by the Bonita Bay Group as a Caribbean-themed, master-planned gated community of roughly 1,425 homes on about 524 acres, laid out around twenty lakes in the northwest of Cape Coral. It is an inland lake community — there is no Gulf or river boating access — with its recreation centered on a community center and a resort-style pool rather than a golf club (Bonita Bay Group/community materials and Cape Coral market coverage, checked August 2026).
Is Sandoval a 55+ community?
No. Sandoval is an all-ages, family-oriented community; no official source states an age restriction (association materials reviewed August 2026).
Is Sandoval in a flood zone?
Its mapped flood features break down as 75% zone AE (high-risk area), 25% zone X (shaded) (reduced-risk area). That's county map data — not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes — so check your parcel on the official lookup.
