Silverlakes at Gateway | Fort Myers, Florida

Mature trees and landscaping line the streets, and about half of our homes sit on the water. More than 3,300 children attend schools in Gateway, and a new high school opened in 2021.

From ranch land to lakefront living

Gateway's roughly 4,500 acres were bought by Westinghouse from George Sanders, who was also involved in building Edison Mall.

Lennar first planned to build only villas here. During design the plan changed to the mix you see today: 14 villas and 315 single-family homes.
