The 33966 “Pulte Battle” in Fort Myers
In the 2026 Fort Myers real estate market, buyers are no longer just looking for a “house”—they are looking for specific infrastructure and long-term value. In the highly competitive 33966 corridor, two Pulte-built enclaves have emerged as the primary rivals for savvy buyers: Eagle Reserve and Camden Square.
The Quick Verdict: Which One Is Yours?
“If you want newer construction (2019+) and larger 3-car garage floor plans with a focus on nature, Eagle Reserve is your choice. If you prefer a boutique, hidden-gem feel with a central Plantation Road location and established social vibes, Camden Square is the winner.”

Why This Matters for 2026 Buyers
Eagle Reserve: The New Standard
As the “newer” sibling, Eagle Reserve provides the peace of mind that comes with the latest Florida building codes. With floor plans that accommodate growing families (including the rare 3-car garage options), it is the go-to for buyers who need more “breathing room” and a connection to the permanent green space of the protected eagle preserve.
Camden Square: The Hidden Enclave
Camden Square is for the buyer who hates “mega-community” traffic. Because it is capped at under 100 homes, turnover is rare and the social atmosphere is established. Located off Plantation Road, it offers slightly more “seconds-saved” access to the Daniels Parkway corridor and the airport than its northern counterparts.
In a region where electric-only homes are the standard, Camden Square stands out. For culinary-minded buyers and those looking for energy efficiency, the infrastructure in 33966 provides a massive edge in resale value. Whether you’re cooking on a professional-grade gas range or looking for faster water heating Camden Square delivers.

“Both Eagle Reserve and Camden Square have no CDD fees, which is a significant saving compared to other new construction in Fort Myers. While Camden Square has lower HOA dues due to its boutique size, Eagle Reserve includes a more robust amenity package in its monthly fees.”
“No, natural gas is available in Camden Square but not in Eagle Reserve. While some homes come with gas cooktops and water heaters standard, many lots in both Eagle Reserve and Camden Square were plumbed for outdoor gas grills, making them ideal for the Florida outdoor lifestyle. Eagle reserve uses propane while Camden Square uses natural gas.”
“Both communities are currently zoned for highly-rated Lee County schools, including Colonial Elementary. However, their proximity to private options like Bishop Verot and Canterbury School makes them equally popular for families prioritizing education.”
“Both are Pulte-built communities with strict architectural standards. However, Eagle Reserve offers the added value of being bordered by a protected 38-acre eagle preserve, ensuring that your backyard view will never be replaced by new development.”
