Homes in Bonita Springs, and what that means for the work

Bonita Springs stretches from an old downtown core along Old 41 and the Imperial River out to the gated golf communities built through the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Much of the remodel work here is bringing those boom era homes up to current tastes, opening closed kitchens, updating baths, and replacing builder grade finishes. Homes near the river and the coast add flood considerations that shape scope and sequencing.

Per American Community Survey data the median home in Bonita Springs was built around 1997, which makes the typical house about 29 years old. There are roughly 39,097 housing units here with a median value near $460,600. About 31 percent of Bonita Springs homes are seasonal or occasional use residences, so much of the work here is planned around owners who are away for part of the year. It is the kind of local detail that changes how a home additions project should be planned. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
