The Hunter Point development in Cortez, Florida, has proven resilient against hurricanes, including Ian, Idalia, and Helene. Built with storm-resistant features like solid concrete garages, steel roofs, and solar panels designed to withstand strong winds, the community has remained dry and functional during severe weather. The design includes swales for effective stormwater management and energy-efficient insulation. Despite high initial costs (starting at $1.25 million), homeowners benefit from lower insurance rates due to the robust construction.
