For Owners Who Rent
Renting out a Timber Creek home: the lease rules
The recorded declaration allows a thirty-day minimum and up to twelve leases a year, which is open for a community this size. The part owners miss is the Town Center: use rights move to the tenant for the term of the lease.
Rental limits
30 days minimum
Up to twelve leases in any twelve months, with the lease filed thirty days before it starts.
The lease
Whole homes only, in writing, thirty days or longer, with no subleasing.
The paperwork
The lease and the membership transfer form go to the association thirty days ahead, with a $150 processing fee.
The Town Center
Use rights transfer to the tenant for the term, and the owner keeps paying the charge. An owner who wants to keep using it during a lease can pay the non-resident fee the Town Center sets.
The townhomes
Townhomes have their own association, and a few listings report a tighter cap than twelve. Check the townhome association’s documents before counting on a season.
The townhome documents are the gap. The community rules allow twelve leases a year, and two townhome listings report three. We have not seen the townhome association’s own documents, so confirm the limit for a specific townhome in writing.
We work with owners renting in Timber Creek. If you are weighing a rental, we can walk you through the lease rules, the Town Center transfer and what the home realistically rents for.

Living in Timber Creek: a buyer’s guide
Timber Creek is a gated, all-ages community on Daniels Parkway in Fort Myers, built by Lennar between 2020 and 2025. It holds 1,315 homes on 654 acres, from townhomes under 2,000 square feet to single-family homes over 3,400. About 142 acres of preserve and a string of lakes run through it. The Town Center is the center of the place, with a pool and lap lanes, a splash pad, indoor and outdoor courts, a fitness center open around the clock and a restaurant. Every home pays for it, and the charge is the same on every home.
Inside Timber Creek
- Location: On Daniels Parkway at State Road 82 in Fort Myers, in unincorporated Lee County, east of Gateway and about fifteen minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport.
- Size & homes: 1,315 homes on 654 acres. About 940 single-family homes, 159 villas and about 215 townhomes.
- Built: 2020 through 2025, all by Lennar.
- Amenities: A Town Center with a pool and lap lanes, a splash pad, an indoor sport court, tennis and pickleball, sand volleyball and a playground. Inside: a fitness center open 24 hours, a movement studio, a sauna and a restaurant. A resident app handles dining and court reservations, events and the member directory.
- What sets it apart: Three kinds of home behind one gate, all built since 2020, with the same Town Center charge on every one of them.
Types of Homes in Timber Creek
Three kinds of home sit here and they separate cleanly by size. Townhomes run about 1,871 to 1,942 square feet with a one-car garage. Villas are attached in pairs at 1,411 to 1,564 square feet. Single-family homes run 2,032 to 3,464 square feet and sit on three lot sizes the association calls Executive, Manor and Estate.
Compare inside a home type before comparing across them. A townhome and a house on an Estate lot are different products with different yearly costs, and the townhome carries a second association fee the others do not.
What Living in Timber Creek Is Like
The Town Center is where this community happens. Outside are a pool with lap lanes, a splash pad, an indoor sport court, tennis and pickleball, and sand volleyball. Inside are a fitness center open 24 hours, a movement studio, a sauna and a restaurant. Residents book dinner and courts, sign up for events and look up neighbors through the Timber Creek app, on iPhone and Android. A calendar that already exists helps anyone moving into a new community.
Outside the Town Center, about 142 acres of preserve and a chain of lakes run through the community, and half the homes listed here look at water. Sidewalks connect the neighborhoods and golf carts are allowed once they are registered. The gate is staffed, and guests and vendors are managed from the resident app rather than at the gatehouse.
The location is straightforward. Timber Creek sits on Daniels Parkway at State Road 82, which puts I-75, Southwest Florida International Airport, JetBlue Park and Gulf Coast Town Center within a normal drive. Use the interactive What’s Nearby map to test the drives that matter to you.
What to Know Before You Buy
Two things here surprise buyers, and both are worth knowing before an offer. The first is the Town Center. It is not association property and it is not a club with members. Lennar owns it under its own recorded declaration. Every home pays $694.04 a quarter for it, used or not, and the charge is the same on a townhome and on the largest house here. Owners also have a $500 yearly food and drink minimum at the restaurant, and whoever spends less is billed the difference. The association holds an option to buy the Town Center from Lennar. It opens once the last home is sold, or at the end of 2034. If that happens, owners would pay for it through the association instead.
The second is the community development district. Timber Creek sits in the Timber Creek Southwest district, which appears on the property tax bill rather than in the association bill. It runs from about $1,368 a year on a townhome to about $2,584 on an Estate home. It goes up on the November 2026 bill, because the district has taken over the lakes, the preserves and the drainage. Read the district charge from this page rather than from the seller’s last tax bill.
Practical Considerations
- HOA fees: $1,809 to $2,878 a year to the association depending on the home, plus $2,776 a year for the Town Center on every home. Townhomes add a townhome association fee, $735 a quarter on current listings.
- CDD fees: Yes. The Timber Creek Southwest Community Development District is on the tax bill, $1,368 to $2,584 a year depending on the home. It rises on the November 2026 bill.
- At closing: A $1,500 capital contribution to the association and a $50 application fee on most listings.
- Schools: Served by Lee County Public Schools, which places students through School Choice rather than by address.
- Getting around: Daniels Parkway at State Road 82, with I-75 and Southwest Florida International Airport to the west.
- Golf: None. Timber Creek has no course and no golf membership.
- Leasing: A thirty-day minimum and up to twelve leases a year, with the lease filed thirty days ahead. Townhomes may be stricter.
- Parking: No overnight street parking between midnight and 6 AM, and commercial trucks, boats, trailers, recreational vehicles and motorcycles go in the garage.

Open the flood zone lookup →Timber Creek FAQs
01Is Timber Creek gated?
The short answer
Yes, with a staffed gate.
Residents manage their own guest and vendor lists from the resident app, so visitors are cleared before they arrive. Sidewalks run through the community and registered golf carts are allowed on the streets.
02Is Timber Creek age restricted?
The short answer
No. Timber Creek is open to all ages.
The recorded declaration carries no age restriction, and the listings agree. The Town Center rules do set supervision ages. Children 12 and under need an adult with them, and 13 to 15 need an adult on the premises.
03What do the fees at Timber Creek cover?
The short answer
The gate, internet, the grounds, lawn care on most homes, and the Town Center.
The association fee covers the guarded gate and security, internet for every home, the common grounds and street lights, and lawn care for single-family homes and villas. The Town Center charge is separate at $694.04 a quarter and is the same on every home. Townhomes pay a second association fee, $735 a quarter on current listings, and no lawn care line in the association budget.
04Does Timber Creek have a CDD?
The short answer
Yes. The Timber Creek Southwest Community Development District is on the property tax bill.
It runs from about $1,368 a year on a townhome to about $2,584 on an Estate home. It rises on the November 2026 bill, because the district now maintains the lakes, the preserves and the drainage. A seller’s older tax bill shows the smaller figure.
05Who owns the Town Center at Timber Creek?
The short answer
Lennar owns it, under a separate recorded declaration.
Owning a home here is not a club membership. Every home pays the Town Center charge, used or not. The declaration also gives the association an option to buy the Town Center. That option opens once the last home is sold, or at the end of 2034 at the latest. If the association ever buys it, owners would pay for it through the association instead.
06Is there a food and beverage minimum at Timber Creek?
The short answer
Yes, $500 a year per home.
The Town Center Declaration sets the minimum and bills the difference to anyone who spends less at the restaurant. Treat it as money spent at the Town Center rather than as another fee.
07Can you rent out a home in Timber Creek?
The short answer
Yes. Thirty days minimum and up to twelve leases a year.
The lease and a membership transfer form go to the association thirty days before the lease starts, with a $150 processing fee. Town Center use rights transfer to the tenant for the term while the owner keeps paying the charge, unless the owner pays the non-resident fee to keep using it. Townhomes have their own association and may be stricter.
08Is there golf at Timber Creek?
The short answer
No. Timber Creek has no golf course and no golf membership.
Recreation here is the Town Center: a pool with lap lanes and a splash pad, an indoor sport court, tennis and pickleball, sand volleyball, a fitness center open 24 hours and a restaurant.
09What does it cost to buy into Timber Creek?
The short answer
About $1,550 at closing, on top of the purchase price.
A $1,500 capital contribution goes to the association at closing, and most listings report a $50 application fee. The amount was $1,000 until Lennar raised it in an amendment recorded in April 2025.
10What kinds of homes are in Timber Creek?
The short answer
Townhomes, villas and single-family homes, all built between 2020 and 2025.
Townhomes run about 1,871 to 1,942 square feet and villas 1,411 to 1,564. Single-family homes run 2,032 to 3,464 across three lot sizes the association calls Executive, Manor and Estate. Yearly costs differ by home type, and townhomes cost the most to own each year.
11What flood zone is a Fort Myers home in, and how do I check it?
The short answer
Flood zones change from one block to the next, so the only answer that counts is the one for that exact address.
The zone affects both insurance cost and lender requirements, and two homes on the same street can sit in different ones. Check the FEMA flood zone for the address first, then get a current insurance quote before you make an offer.

Sources and how we checked them

- What it costs to own
- Association figures come from the Timber Creek Property Owners Association 2026 approved budget and its 2026 assessment billing notice, which also carries the Town Center charge.
