New Homes in Alva, FL: River Hall Country Club and Hampton Lakes, Explained
Alva is the Lee County address people have not heard of until they price it. River Hall is a 1,900-acre master plan on the Caloosahatchee side of Fort Myers with two distinct ways to buy: River Hall Country Club, gated, with golf membership bundled into every home, and Hampton Lakes, next door, with its own amenity centre and no club dues. Lennar builds in both. Figures below are as read on 26 October 2026.

Why a finished home is cheaper than the plan here
On 26 October 2026 three River Hall Country Club Trevis were listed from $292,097 against a $334,490 to-be-built price for the same plan. That is not a misprint. Finished inventory carries a holding cost for the builder, and closeout months are when it shows. If you can live with the finishes already chosen, the country-club side can come in under Hampton Lakes’ plan prices while still bundling the golf.
What “membership included” means
Every River Hall Country Club home carries membership in the club — golf leagues, tournaments, member dining and the social calendar — and the club facilities are reserved for residents. The dues that fund it are part of your carrying cost and they are the reason the two sides of the plan price differently. Hampton Lakes buys the same master plan, the same schools (River Hall Elementary sits inside the plan) and its own resort pool, without the golf line. Our River Hall site sets out what it actually costs to own on each side, with a source and a date against each figure.
The CDD nobody quotes
River Hall sits inside a Community Development District. The assessment appears on the Lee County tax bill, split into debt service, which ends when the bonds mature, and operations and maintenance, which does not. It differs by phase and by lot, and the district does not publish a per-home figure. Any page that gives you one flat number for “the River Hall CDD fee” is guessing; we pull the figure for the specific parcel. The mechanics are in our CDD vs HOA guide.
