Hawthorne

Yes. Hawthorne carries the Amenities Covenant, so Players Club & Spa membership is mandatory for every home — there's no opting out, and the dues are part of your fixed cost of ownership here.

Players Club & Spa membership in Hawthorne runs about a $10,000 refundable deposit plus roughly $6,400 a year (+6% tax), on top of your HOA dues. Because membership is mandatory here, budget it as a fixed annual cost. Figures change — confirm current rates with the Club.

Roughly ~$1,350/quarter + Players Club dues — verify. HOA dues typically cover community maintenance and common areas (often landscaping), but usually do not include Players Club dues. Confirm the current amount and exactly what's covered for the specific home.

In Hawthorne, the association allows 30-day minimum, ~3 leases/yr. That sets the minimum lease length and how many times per year you can lease — important for rental or seasonal use. Rules change, so confirm the current limits for the exact home.

Yes — in Hawthorne, pets are allowed with approval. The association sets the specifics (number, size, and sometimes breed), and rules change — confirm the current pet policy for the exact home.

Yes. Hawthorne has its own community pool, on top of the resort-wide Players Club & Spa and Lely's three golf courses.

The Players Club & Spa is centrally located within Lely Resort, so from Hawthorne it's a few minutes by car or golf cart. Most of the community is within roughly a mile or two of the club.

Recent listings in Hawthorne have ranged about $495K–$560K, with a median sold price near $340K (about $168/sq ft). Inventory is limited and changes constantly — ask for a live Hawthorne report.

No. Hawthorne, like all of Lely Resort, is an all-ages community — it is not age-restricted. Homes here serve full-time, seasonal, and rental use.

Recently, Hawthorne homes have sold in a median of 37 days at about 97% of list price — roughly 3% negotiating room. With ~5.8 months of supply, it's balanced. These numbers shift constantly, so ask me for this week's read before you make a move.

Hawthorne homes date to 2006–2007 (about 20 years old). At that age, look closely at the A/C (12–15-yr life), water heater (10–12-yr), and roof, and ask for the permit history. Listing remarks here frequently mention turnkey-furnished options — a plus, but verify ages and permits.

Generally favorable. Hawthorne was built to the 2002+ Florida Building Code, so homes typically carry better wind ratings — request the wind-mitigation form to confirm credits.
