Cost of ownership
Every home in The Place pays three things: the association fee, $1,369 a quarter in 2026, a $480 yearly food and beverage minimum, and the Corkscrew Farms Community Development District (CDD) on the property tax bill. No club membership comes on top.
A $1,500 irrigation fee paid to the irrigation water provider, plus a resale contribution to the association that the board sets each year, $2,000 on recent sales. The declaration puts the resale contribution on the buyer. Confirm the current amounts and who pays them in your contract before you make an offer. Separate from other closing costs.
The district charge depends on the lot width and the phase. Choose one to see the yearly charges.

Leases must run at least 30 days in a row, and a home can be leased no more than three times in a calendar year. That rules out weekly rentals.
Rental limits
30 days minimum
No more than three leases a calendar year, and no subleasing.
The lease
In writing, for at least 30 days in a row. The year the lease starts counts toward that year’s three.
The notice
The association does not approve tenants in advance, but the owner sends a copy of the lease at least 15 days before it starts, and the association runs a background check.
The fee
The tenant pays the association a $250 transfer fee for each lease.
The taxes
Leases of six months or less can owe Florida sales tax and Lee County’s tourist development tax.
Tenants follow the community rules too. The owner remains responsible for the tenant, and the food and beverage minimum stays on the owner’s bill.
We work with owners renting in The Place at Corkscrew. We can walk you through the lease rules and what the home realistically rents for.

The Place at Corkscrew is a gated community of 1,325 single-family homes in Estero, on Corkscrew Road east of I-75. Homes were built from about 2017 to 2023, and the community is complete. It is open to all ages.
One association, The Place Master Association, runs the gates, the amenity center, the lakes and preserves, the central irrigation system and the lawn care at every home, with on-site management. Homes also pay the Corkscrew Farms Community Development District (CDD) on the property tax bill, which paid for the roads, water management and utilities.
Every home in The Place is a detached single-family home on its own lot. They run about 1,700 to 4,300 square feet, with a median of about 2,450, on lots 52, 62 or 75 feet wide. Many back onto a lake or preserve.
The association cuts the grass and cares for the landscaping at every home and runs the central irrigation system from the community’s lakes. The owner looks after the house itself, including the roof. Exterior changes, pools and new plantings need the architectural review committee’s approval first.
The amenity center is the heart of daily life. A lifestyle staff plans events, classes and parties for adults and children, and the restaurant, bar and café give neighbors a place to meet without leaving the gates. Families use the waterslide, splash pad and kids club, and racquet players fill the tennis and pickleball courts.
Many residents drive golf carts to the amenity center on the community’s roads. Outside the gates, the Shoppes at Verdana Village are close by, and most other shopping, the beaches and the airport are a drive west on Corkscrew Road. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drives to the places that matter to you.
