Heritage Bay is a gated golf community off Immokalee Road in northeast Collier, with a median age of seventy and the highest vacancy rate of any census community in the county at around fifty-six per cent. More than half the homes are empty at any given time.
That single figure shapes everything about the work here. A leak in an empty condominium runs for months, damage spreads into units below, and the first anyone knows is when an owner arrives for the season. Pre-season inspections are worth more here than almost anywhere.
