The Plantation is a gated golf community in Fort Myers, Florida, with two neighborhoods inside the gates: Somerset, the custom-estate side, and Bridgetown, the resort-style side. Daily life centers on an 18-hole golf course and a full amenity campus, and as of Q2 2026 homes run from move-up single-family homes to luxury estates. Construction here is newer, the club has a private feel, and you’re close to RSW Airport and Gulf Coast Town Center. For buyers who want golf and a well-rounded lifestyle in one Southwest Florida community, it’s an easy place to like.
The Plantation gives you two different ways to live behind one gate. Somerset is the custom-estate side: larger homes on golf and lakefront lots, with a strong country-club feel. Bridgetown is more relaxed. It’s resort-style, with single-family homes and its own amenity center, and there’s no golf requirement to live there.
The community sits in the growing southeast Fort Myers corridor near Gulf Coast Town Center and RSW Airport, which is why so many relocating buyers and seasonal residents end up here.

Flexibility is the draw here. You can go all in on golf and country-club living in Somerset, or keep it simple with resort-style living in Bridgetown. Either way, it’s a practical, convenient spot in the southeast Fort Myers corridor. And if you’re weighing it against the riverfront marina-and-golf life at Gulf Harbour or the lake boating at Wildblue, we’ll help you compare the neighborhoods, the golf, and the price.
