Buying or selling a home in Bonita Springs means working in a Lee County city at the Collier County line, between Estero and Naples, with Gulf beaches at Bonita Beach and the Imperial River running through town. Homes range from beach-area condos and river and canal homes to large gated golf and HOA communities, so flood zone and community fees need a close look.
