Selling in Royal Greens at Gateway: What Buyers Weigh

Gateway is a master-planned community in the 33913 ZIP code of Fort Myers, along the Daniels Parkway and Treeline Avenue corridor near Southwest Florida International Airport. Most Gateway homes sit inside the Gateway Services Community Development District, so buyers weigh HOA dues, CDD assessments, insurance and roof age together. A listing that answers those questions upfront competes on the home itself, not on unknowns.

This was one of eight homes we closed in August. See all eight, with the full Gateway area comparison, in August Closings: 8 Homes Sold Across Southwest Florida.
