A big part of making any community successful – particularly the kind of community that thrives in Southwest Florida – is the extent to which the commuinty has budgeted for, is actively engaged in, and recruited the right people to CREATE an actual community (of people that is). That role is often called a “lifestyle manager” or a “community manager.” It’s one of the beauties of the unique lifestyles within Southwest Florida. Because of the history of the state and the way land was initially distributed in the 19th and 20th centuries, many areas had to effectively build themselves from the ground up using only their knowledge, resources, and working together with their neighbors.
These days, centrally planned communities like Esplanade Lake Club in Fort Myers, have taken these duties on from day-1 and plan ahead to ensure that, not only will the community have all of the latest utilities and resources that any city or municipality has – but they plan ahead to ensure that there is a position within the home owners association or community club that is specifically responsible for throwing and coordinating events and bringing members together.
