About Stoneybrook at Gateway
Stoneybrook at Gateway is a gated community of 778 single-family homes in Fort Myers. Day to day, the nearest golf course, The Club at Pelican Preserve, is about 1.4 miles straight-line from the community's center; the nearest library, East County Regional Library, is about 2.8 miles away; the nearest hospital, Select Specialty Hospital, about 3.7 miles.
Amenities — amenities compiled from Stoneybrook at Gateway and Fort Myers market materials (confirm current amenities with the association); Stoneybrook at Gateway is a NON-golf resort-amenity community — include a gated entry, a resort-style community clubhouse, a community pool and spa, plus a children's pool/splash area, a fitness center, tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, a playground and open recreation space with sidewalks throughout.
On paper, the community spans evacuation zones D · E, 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 868 residential parcels was $371,018 in the county's 2026 roll.
Two structural facts shape a purchase at Stoneybrook at Gateway more than any single amenity. The first is cost: unlike the no-CDD communities scattered across the older Fort Myers market, Stoneybrook sits inside the Gateway Services Community Development District, so its annual bill carries a public-infrastructure charge many established neighborhoods don't. On a sampled 2025 in-community tax bill that Gateway Services CDD assessment came to $1,285.62, alongside a $366.39 Lee County solid-waste assessment — $1,652.01 in non-ad-valorem lines before ordinary property taxes. CDD amounts vary by parcel and pay down over time, so the figure for any specific home should be confirmed, but the district itself is a fixed feature of buying here.
The second is what the community is not: it's a resort-amenity neighborhood, not a golf community. There's no course attached to the home and no bundled club membership to fund — the amenity base is a gated entry, a resort-style clubhouse, a community pool and spa with a separate children's pool, a fitness center, and tennis, pickleball and basketball courts, plus a playground. The nearby Gateway Greens golf club is a separate community, not part of Stoneybrook. For buyers who don't play, that removes a recurring cost bundled-golf communities build in; for those who do, golf is something arranged elsewhere.
A couple of practical notes. The Stoneybrook name is widely reused — unrelated communities carry it in other counties — so verify you're looking at the Gateway one, governed by Stoneybrook at Gateway Master Association, Inc., which oversees both the single-family homes and the attached villas across roughly 778 residences built by Lennar in the mid-2000s. The community sits in Lee County evacuation zones D and E and FEMA flood zone X, and wired high-capacity internet runs through Xfinity fiber.
