Here are some true facts about Strongholds; There are only three of them in the Overworld, they generate roughly between 600 and 1200 blocks from the ORIGIN (X:0,Z:0) of the Overworld and have roughly an equal angle of seperation from each other when measured from the Origin.
What height do strongholds spawn at?
No, there is no level range that strongholds must spawn at. If you take a look at the page on Minecraft Wiki, you can see that strongholds can spawn on any level in the world except for partially or fully above ground. In other words, they must always be below ground, but apart from that there is no limit.
What Y do strongholds spawn?
Strongholds are special in that they can generate at any y-level. The only requirement for them to spawn is that they aren’t sticking out into the open. One thing that this means is that they can spawn jutting out under water, because water counts as a block that isn’t air.
Can strongholds spawn without an end portal?
It is possible for a Stronghold to spawn with no portal due to little hiccups with the world generation, so that is a distinct possibility in your case, though I’ve never heard about Ender Eyes not going down.
Where to find the other two strongholds in Minecraft?
Try going to the 0,0 coords and heading in the oposite way as the stronghold you already found.The eyes of ender will take you to the nearest stronghold.The third one should be a little more tricky since you will have to go away from two strongholds so be sure to go away from BOTH strongholds you already know.
How many strongholds are there in Minecraft 1.9?

How are strongholds generated in Minecraft Java Edition?
You can see it this way: one stronghold is generated randomly in a random direction between about 600 and 1200 blocks from the origin, then the other two are placed at roughly 120° angles, also a random distance between those margins away. – EagleV_Attnam Jul 2 ’15 at 15:16
