Master-Planned Community: Sandoval

Sandoval in Cape Coral, Florida, was Bonita Bay Group’s most recent development. The community includes carriage homes, villas and single-family homes by preferred homebuilders. The broad range of home designs and price points, resort-style amenities and the family-friendly character have attracted a wide range of prospective buyers, particularly two target groups—families and empty nesters. Many homes overlook some of the community’s 20 lakes. The Esplanade, a two-mile-long, 70-foot-wide linear park has sidewalks and pathways that link neighborhoods with walking and jogging routes to park areas, future retail areas and nearby schools.

Community amenities are designed with a resort ambience. The centerpiece of Sandoval is the 5,319-square-foot community center. The resort-style destination includes a lagoon pool, waterslide, children’s splash area and a nautically themed tot lot. A sand volleyball court, four lighted tennis courts, a full basketball court, bocce court and play field add to the array of recreational options. The 4.5-acre Calypso Park caters to family-oriented fun, with grills, covered picnic areas and a fishing pier extending into the 22-acre Calypso Lake. The nearly one-acre fenced-in Barkley Park gives residents’ pawed pals a place to exercise and play.

The final phase of the Sandoval community was sold to a national builder in 2011.
