Talk to a Specialist →Esplanade Lake Club is Taylor Morrison's lakefront luxury community built around Lake Como, a private lake within the community, in the Daniels Parkway corridor of Fort Myers. It is age-targeted rather than hard age-restricted, still under active construction with both new and resale inventory available, and priced meaningfully above every other Lee County active adult community. The lakefront lifestyle center — resort pool, spa, tennis and pickleball, a kayak/paddleboard launch on Lake Como, an outdoor bar and grill — is the genuine differentiator: shared waterfront access without the cost of a private waterfront lot. There is no golf course, a deliberate choice that keeps the amenity focus on water rather than turf.

Homes built from 2016 onward — which describes most of Esplanade Lake Club's inventory — benefit from post-2002 Florida building codes and current construction standards. In a post-Ian Lee County insurance market, that vintage typically qualifies for meaningfully better rates than 20-year-old inventory. It's a real financial advantage relative to older Lee County communities, and one that partially offsets the eye-watering purchase price — factor it explicitly into any insurance comparison you run before buying.
Because the community is still actively building, buyers get a genuine choice: new construction with current floor plans, a builder warranty, and finish customization, versus resale with known pricing and a faster close. For insurance purposes specifically, new construction gives you the cleanest coverage eligibility — resale homes in a partially built community sometimes carry nuanced insurance considerations that are worth confirming before you go under contract.
If a private lake, resort-caliber amenities, and Taylor Morrison's premium finish level are worth an all-in carrying cost north of $1,600/month to you, Esplanade Lake Club delivers a genuinely different tier of Fort Myers active adult living than Pelican Preserve or Heritage Cove. If you're optimizing for value, the price gap to those communities is not small, and it's worth running the comparison honestly before you commit to the Lake Como lifestyle.
