Looking for a new construction home in Southwest Florida? Vivid Shores in Bonita Springs is definitely worth exploring, whether you’ are interested in boating or simply looking for a new home in a great location. We recently visited and were pleasantly surprised by the community and its location!
With just over 600 homes planned, this gated, lakefront single-family home community features homes by Pulte Homes and Stock Development. Floor plans offer 3–6 bedrooms and 3–6.5 bathrooms, with prices starting around $900,000 and exceeding $3 million, depending on the builder, homesite, and selections.
Buyers can personalize their homes with different floor plans, finishes, and upgrades to fit their lifestyle. Select lakefront homesites also offer the opportunity to build a private boat dock, bringing boating right to your backyard.
Another exciting milestone is just around the corner, with construction on the community’s amenity center expected to break ground in the next 2–3 weeks.
