The Brooks • Estero, Florida
The Brooks is a large planned area in the Village of Estero, close to Coconut Point. Shadow Wood, Copperleaf, Spring Run and Lighthouse Bay are the main communities inside it, and each one has its own association and its own rules. Pebble Pointe is a newer gated enclave inside The Brooks.
Here is the deal. Buying in The Brooks is really buying in one of those communities. Some include golf with the home and some make it optional, so find out which one you are in before you compare prices. Many addresses here still show a Bonita Springs ZIP code, so the MLS lists some homes under Estero and some under Bonita Springs.

What to Know
