Couple’s Wish List Filled by Portofino, a New Ft. Myers Gated Community

Joan and Joe Rizzo of Ft. Myers were excited to find everything on their dream home wish list at Portofino, a new gated community of coach homes by Crosswinds Communities in Ft. Myers.

When the couple decided to move from their single-family home, they prioritized their five most important needs – 2,000-plus square feet, location convenient to shopping and restaurants, little maintenance, well-designed floorplan and a lot of value for their money.

"We didn’t need to compromise on anything," said Joan who along with Joe is looking forward to the additional living space offered by The Napoli, a first floor 3-bedroom/2-bath residence with a total of 2,518 square feet, priced from $219,990.

Portofino’s entry gates open to reveal 58-acres with a large nature preserve, 212 coach home residences, Italianate details, a lake, fountains, brick pavered concourses and decorative streetlights that create an Old World ambiance.

Residences vary from first level 2-bedroom/2-bath floorplans with 2,078 square feet to second-level 3-bedroom/2bath floorplans with a total of 2,518 square feet and second level 2-bedrooms plus den floorplans with 2.5 bathrooms. The coach homes are priced from $184,990 to $249,990.

Residences feature granite kitchen countertops and backsplashes, under-mount stainless steel sink, 42-inch raised panel upper cabinets, smooth top self-cleaning range, side-by-side refrigerator with icemaker, space saver microwave and dishwasher.
