Estero Homes for Sale

Estero homes for sale sit in two places at once: the Village of Estero, incorporated on December 31, 2014, and a ring of newer communities east of the Village that carry an Estero address in unincorporated Lee County. On this page "Estero" means both, and every community below says which side of the line it sits on. In the 12 months to September 25, 2026, Lee County recorded 2,068 home sales in Estero at a median of $525,000. Inside the Village of Estero itself the figure was 1,395 sales at a $470,000 median.

On October 22, 2026, the Southwest Florida MLS showed 537 homes for sale across Estero's named communities at a median list price of $499,000, about 4.2 months of supply. This page shows every Estero listing we can search, what each community actually closed at on the county record, and the taxes, flood zones and school zones that come with an Estero address. Estero real estate is a big, mixed market: single family homes, condos, golf and gated communities, new construction and a few acreage lots. Every named community is on our Estero communities index, and our other markets are on the Southwest Florida communities page.

Source: Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix), listing data, Active, Pending and Closed 0 to 365 days, pulled October 22, 2026, across Estero's named communities in Estero's MLS areas, with home type from the listing's building design field; land from the Lot and Land search on the same communities, leaving out same-named subdivisions in other Florida cities.

On September 29, 2026 the MLS showed 415 Estero listings from $68,000 to $10,099,000 at a $475,000 median list price, about 3.5 months of supply.

What do Estero homes sell for? County records vs the MLS

Lee County recorded 2,068 qualified home sales in Estero in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, at a $525,000 median and $264 per heated square foot. The MLS counted 1,431 closings at $495,000 in its own 12 months. The county count is larger, partly because many builder sales never reach the MLS. Data updated: October 2026.

Recorded deeds are the most complete count of what Estero homes sold for, because every closed sale lands at the county whether or not an agent listed it. We tracked every qualified, improved sale on the Lee County Property Appraiser's roll for the Village of Estero and for the Estero-addressed parcels outside it, using the parcel layer's taxing district to tell the two apart.

Month by month, with homes for sale, months of supply and every price range, these Estero sales figures are updated in our Estero market report.

Southwest Florida MLS, Estero (MLS city ESTERO)	Closings	Median sold	Price range	Median per sq ft	Median days on market	Sale-to-list
12 months	1,431	$495,000	$45,000 to $4,500,000	$254	64	96.3%
24 months	2,587	$508,000	$45,000 to $4,500,000	$263	61	96.2%

60 months	6,315	$515,000	$25,000 to $4,500,000	$278	27	97.4%

Source: Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix), residential, Estero MLS areas, active plus closed 0 to 1,826 days, pulled September 29, 2026. Another 95 closings in the 12 months were Sold Data Entry records, sales entered after closing without an active listing, and are left out of these medians. The 12-month closings had a median of 1,905 square feet of living area, from 396 to 6,239.

Why the county count is higher than the MLS count

Three things separate the two counts. First, 483 of the 2,068 recorded sales were builder-direct, and many builder sales close without an MLS listing. Second, the MLS figures above use the MLS city ESTERO, which leaves out The Brooks, Mirasol and other Village communities that carry Bonita Springs or Fort Myers mailing addresses. Across every city in the Estero MLS areas the MLS counted 1,521 closings at a $505,000 median. Third, the county counts every qualified deed, so it also catches private sales.

Is Estero a city, and where does the Village of Estero end?

Estero is a city: the Village of Estero was incorporated on December 31, 2014, after a November 4, 2014 referendum passed with about 86 percent of the vote. It runs a council-manager government with seven council members. Several Estero-addressed communities east of the Village are in unincorporated Lee County, so an Estero address does not always mean the Village.

The Village covers 24.35 square miles and 26,923 parcels on the Lee County roll. Its Census population estimate was 38,365 on July 1, 2025, up 3.9 percent from 36,939 in the 2020 Census and from 22,612 in 2010. Another 6,127 parcels carry an Estero address in unincorporated Lee County. An earlier Town of Estero, incorporated by the Koreshan Unity in 1904, was abolished by the Legislature in 1907.

What ZIP codes are in Estero?

33928 is the only Estero ZIP code, and about a quarter of its parcels sit outside the Village. Parts of the Village use Bonita Springs addresses (34135 for The Brooks and Mirasol, 34134 for Coconut Shores, Meadowbrook, Coconut Landing and the north end of The Colony) and Fort Myers addresses (33967 for The Vines, Belle Lago, The Reserve at Estero and Osprey Cove; at The Reserve the county roll gives the city as Estero, and listings may show either city).

ZIP code (postal city)	Village of Estero parcels	Unincorporated parcels with this ZIP	Notes
33928 (Estero)	18,874	6,041	The only Estero ZIP
34135 (Bonita Springs)	4,147	2	The Brooks, Mirasol at Coconut Point

Which communities are outside the Village?

Verdana Village, The Place at Corkscrew, Corkscrew Shores, Corkscrew Estates and Ultimate Ski Lake are in unincorporated Lee County with Estero addresses, and so is Kingston, east on Corkscrew Road. WildBlue is unincorporated with a Fort Myers 33913 address. Saltleaf on Estero Bay is in the City of Bonita Springs, on Estero Bay, with a Bonita Springs 34134 address. Esplanade Lake Club is a Fort Myers community, covered on our Esplanade Lake Club page.

Saltleaf on Estero Bay

Saltleaf on Estero Bay is London Bay Development Group's 507-acre community on the bay, with two 22-story Ritz-Carlton Residences towers, a 72-slip marina and Saltleaf Golf Preserve, a daily-fee course. Gulfshore Business reported the master plan at about 500 acres and 800 residences. The South Tower topped out in February 2025, opened in April 2026 and recorded 96 builder sales from April 13 to August 27, 2026 at a $4,397,500 median; the North Tower broke ground on May 8, 2025 and topped out on September 23, 2026. Because Saltleaf is in the City of Bonita Springs, those sales are not in this page's Estero counts. See Saltleaf on Estero Bay and The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay.

How much does a home cost in Estero at each price point?

Are there condos for sale in Estero?

Yes. Condos made up 528 of Estero's 2,068 recorded sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, at a $353,750 median and $246 per square foot, from $155,000 to $1,400,000. All 528 were inside the Village of Estero, and 317 of them sold under $400,000. Data updated: October 2026.

The biggest condo communities by recorded sales were Rapallo (35 at $395,000), Villagio (31 at $260,000), Lighthouse Bay at The Brooks (30 at $356,000), The Residences at Coconut Point (21 at $366,750), Meadows of Estero (16 at $425,000) and Osprey Cove (12 at $219,000). Around the town center, The Residences, Mirasol and Rapallo together recorded 64 sales at $379,000 (see our Coconut Point condos page), and Genova and Breckenridge add more condo choices. On October 22, 2026, the MLS showed 208 Estero condos for sale at a $367,000 median list price.

Florida requires milestone structural inspections for condominium buildings three stories or taller (section 553.899, Florida Statutes) and structural integrity reserve studies (section 718.112), so ask for both before you write an offer on an older building. See Estero condos for sale for every condo community, or search Estero condos for sale on the MLS.

Where are the new construction homes in Estero?

Mostly east of the Village. In the 12 months to September 25, 2026, 483 of Estero's recorded sales were builder-direct by our estimate, a $588,955 median, and 418 of them (87 percent) were in unincorporated Verdana Village, The Place at Corkscrew and Corkscrew Shores. Only 65 were inside the Village. Data updated: October 2026.

The Village itself is close to built out: it issued 8 new single family permits from January to July 2026, against 164 in 2024. The Village's October 2026 development report counted about 2,900 new residential units in process. Our new construction homes for sale in Estero page lists every builder by community with recorded builder prices. On October 22, 2026, the MLS showed 40 listings marked new or under construction; many builder homes sell without an MLS listing, so that count runs low.

Verdana Village

Verdana Village recorded 511 sales in the 12 months, at a $574,240 median, and about 420 of them were builder sales, more than any other Estero community. It is in unincorporated Lee County with an Estero address, on the county roll as 2,386 lots.

RiverCreek

RiverCreek is complete at 554 homes, with its last certificate of occupancy in June 2026. It recorded 83 sales at a $769,900 median, 63 of them GL Homes first sales.

Kingston

Kingston, on Corkscrew Road east of Verdana Village, is in unincorporated Lee County with an Estero address. It opened its models from all four builders on October 17, 2026: Lennar, Pulte and Neal Communities in Kingston South and Taylor Morrison at Esplanade at Kingston. No Kingston home had closed by our October 2026 county read, and 1,128 residential lots had recorded. Advertised base prices on the builders' own sites on October 21, 2026 started at $329,999 (Lennar villas), $347,990 (Neal), $369,900 (Taylor Morrison) and $389,990 (Pulte), before lot premiums and options. The Kingston One CDD adopted FY2027 assessments from $1,244.68 a year for a condo to $2,563.83 for a 72-foot single family lot. The Army Corps of Engineers issued Kingston's federal wetlands permit under section 404 of the Clean Water Act in April 2025; a federal judge declined to halt the project on March 31, 2026, and a conservation group's suit over the permit was settled in August 2026, with the developer agreeing to buy about 98 acres off Carter Road.

Inside the Village, new homes are in-fill. The Village of Estero's October 2026 development report lists Toll Brothers' Summercrest (154 townhomes, models open), Genova's final phase (approved) and Mission Grove, a 163-unit assisted living and continuing care community heading to a hearing.

Can you buy land or a lot in Estero?

Yes, but few lots trade. The Village of Estero had 603 vacant residential parcels on the 2026 roll, and only 19 qualified vacant land sales recorded in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, at a $59,000 median, from $19,500 to $785,000. Most of the 1,938 vacant lots outside the Village belong to builders. Data updated: October 2026.

The rest of Estero's lots are acreage on older plats: Ultimate Ski Lake's estate lots of 2 to 4 acres on a private water-ski lake, and the acreage and lot plats described lower on this page. On October 22, 2026, the MLS showed 24 Estero land listings. See land and lots for sale in Estero for the current list.

Which Estero communities have golf, and is membership included?

Twelve Estero communities have golf inside the gates. Five bundle it into ownership (Breckenridge, Copperleaf, Country Creek, Pelican Sound and Spring Run), four make golf optional (Shadow Wood, West Bay Club, Wildcat Run and The Vines), Grandezza's course is club-owned and Stoneybrook's is a public course owned by its CDD. Data updated: October 2026.

Which Estero communities are 55+?

Three Estero communities are age-restricted by a recorded declaration: Tidewater, Cascades at Estero and Mariners Cove. Several mobile home and RV communities call themselves 55+ on their own sites, but we found no recorded age restriction for them, so we attribute those claims to their associations. Data updated: October 2026.

Tidewater, Del Webb's Estero community: 385 homes, 31 recorded sales at a $525,000 median. Its recorded declaration (instrument 2015000161950) sets a 100 percent rule.
Cascades at Estero: 613 homes, 38 recorded sales at a $419,000 median. Its 2002 declaration (OR Book 3706, Page 4023, Article VIII, section 10) and the 2024 restated declaration (instrument 2024000065632, section 8.10) set an 80 percent rule.
Mariners Cove: 207 homes on the Estero River with a resident-owned park, a river boat ramp and leased docks; 7 recorded sales in 12 months.

Riverwoods Plantation (its association says 55 and older), Corkscrew Woodlands (its association website says registered 55+) and Cypress Bend RV Resort (its resort site says 55+) describe themselves as 55+. On October 22, 2026, 48 Estero listings were marked on the MLS as housing for older persons, 22 of them in Riverwoods Plantation. See Estero 55+ communities for the full comparison.

Is Estero a gated, golf or waterfront market?

Mostly gated. Most Estero communities of more than 100 homes are gated in our research, many of them staffed, and the communities index shows each one's gate type. Waterfront is a smaller slice: Estero Bay, the Estero River and big lakes. Data updated: October 2026.

The waterfront communities in our research are WildBlue (outside the Village, with a Fort Myers address and a CDD bond for post-Ian shoreline repair), Corkscrew Shores, West Bay Club, Saltleaf on Estero Bay (a 72-slip marina, in the City of Bonita Springs) and the Estero River neighborhoods: Mariners Cove with its river boat ramp, Estero River Heights and the Gulf-access canal lots of Quarterdeck Cove. The county roll's dock flag is too sparse to count waterfront homes reliably, so the waterfront count comes from the MLS: 657 waterfront closings in the 12 months to October 22, 2026, at a $540,000 median, and 209 waterfront listings for sale that day, most of them on lakes. For gated communities, sort the Estero communities index by its gate column.

Smaller Estero neighborhoods

Some Estero neighborhoods are too small to need a page of their own: a few plats west of US 41 on the Estero River, three old plats off Broadway West, two small enclaves and several acreage and lot plats. They are covered here, with the facts we found on the county record. Data updated: October 2026.

Cranbrook Harbor

Cranbrook Harbor is a recorded plat of 37 single-family homes and one duplex on Charing Cross Circle, off Broadway Avenue West and west of US 41, inside the Village of Estero. Homes were built from 1981 to 2019 and run 1,008 to 5,014 square feet, and listings describe some lots as sitting on Gulf-access canals. There is no gate, and listings report no HOA. The MLS recorded 2 sales in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, at $1,790,000 and $700,000, and no home was listed that day. All 6 addresses we sampled are FEMA Zone AE in evacuation Zone A, so get a flood determination for the exact lot. The Village's 2026 federal grant project for Broadway Avenue West names Cranbrook Harbor for central sewer and water.

Cranbrook Harbor homes for sale

Quarterdeck Cove

Quarterdeck Cove is 27 single-family homes on Porthole Court and Armada Court, plus two on Broadway Avenue West, built from 1984 to 2002 on canal lots that listings describe as having boat access to the Gulf. It sits west of US 41 in the Village of Estero, and most homes have three bedrooms and 1,580 to 3,084 square feet. The MLS recorded 2 sales in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, at $625,000 and $495,000, and 2 homes were listed that day at $625,000 and $995,000. All 5 addresses we sampled are FEMA Zone AE with an 11-foot base flood elevation, in evacuation Zone A. Quarterdeck Cove is one of five neighborhoods in the Village's $20,254,479 septic-to-sewer and water project, accepted by the Council on June 17, 2026.

Quarterdeck Cove homes for sale

Oaks of Estero

Oaks of Estero is a gated enclave of 23 Neal Communities pool homes built from 2015 to 2019 on Oaks of Estero Circle, beside Estero Community Park in the Village of Estero. Homes run 2,452 to 3,417 square feet, 20 of them one story, and Lots 14 to 23 back onto the lake. The MLS recorded 3 sales in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, at $755,000, $835,000 and $789,000, and no home was listed that day. The 2025 tax bill carries no CDD. The lots map to FEMA Zone AH, and a 2015 FEMA letter removed Lots 1 to 23 from the flood zone before the 2022 map revision, so check the current flood determination for the exact lot.

Oaks of Estero homes for sale

Estero Palms

Estero Palms is 32 single-family homes on Arenga Lane and Red Latan Way around a central lake, between Oaks of Estero and Estero High School in the Village of Estero. They were built from 2005 to 2010 and run 1,724 to 3,940 square feet, most with three bedrooms. No home closed through the MLS in the 12 months to October 21, 2026; the last two recorded sales were $625,000 and $565,000 in 2025, and one home was listed at $675,000 that day. All 8 homes we sampled map to FEMA Zone X, in evacuation Zone C. Confirm the flood zone for a lake lot, because the lake tract itself maps to Zone AE.

Old Estero plats off Broadway West: Trailside, Trail Acres and Schultes Tamiami Park

Trailside, Trail Acres and Schultes Tamiami Park are three adjoining old plats on the north side of Broadway Avenue West, under a mile from Koreshan State Park in the Village of Estero. None has an association. Trailside holds 41 homes of mixed type, single-family houses, mobile homes on owned lots and duplexes, built from 1949 to 2022 and mostly under 1,000 square feet; one was listed at $539,999 on October 21, 2026. Trail Acres is one block of 11 small homes on Trailside Drive and Poinciana Avenue, and its last sale was $264,000 in April 2025. Schultes Tamiami Park has 7 homes on Logan Avenue and Broadway West, four of them 2007 builds of 2,472 to 2,917 square feet. Every address we sampled is shaded Zone X, in evacuation Zone A.

Acreage streets: River Ranch Estates, Orangewood Park and Burgundy Farms

Three small plats trade as acreage homes rather than as communities, and none has an active association on record. River Ranch Estates is 13 custom homes on lots of about an acre on Coralee Avenue near Estero Community Park; one was listed at $1,350,000 on October 21, 2026, and all 8 addresses we sampled are FEMA Zone AH. Orangewood Park is See See Street off Corkscrew Road, where older houses and mobile homes on near-acre lots are giving way to new custom builds; one was listed at $1,695,000. Burgundy Farms is an unrecorded lot split on a private road east of Corkscrew Shores; the MLS recorded a $1,125,000 sale there in July 2026. “Estero Park” is not a subdivision: listings that use the name are acreage homes on Tanglewood Lane.

Estero Springs lots off Williams Road

Estero Springs is an old lot-sale plat off Williams Road, west of US 41 in the Village of Estero, and it trades mostly as land. Of its 200 parcels, 14 hold homes and 185 are vacant, and on the county roll many of the vacant lots have no built road address. The county recorded 13 qualified vacant-lot sales from January 2024 to September 2026 at $5,000 to $55,000, and no home has sold since October 2021. Before you buy a lot, confirm legal and physical access, utilities and the flood zone: the 8 home addresses we sampled are shaded Zone X, in evacuation Zone A.

Mobile home and RV communities

Estero recorded 93 mobile home sales in the 12 months to September 2026 at a $133,000 median, all but one under $300,000. The parks use different ownership models, so read the documents that match: Riverwoods Plantation and Cypress Bend RV Resort are resident-owned condominiums, Corkscrew Woodlands is fee-simple RV lots under an HOA whose recorded documents bar permanent residence, Broadway Mobile Home Village is owned lots with no HOA (listing-reported), Sunny Grove Park is a resident-owned cooperative, and Estero Bay Village, formerly Tahiti Mobile Village, is a land-lease park. Every park is compared on our Estero mobile and manufactured homes for sale page.

Is Estero in a flood zone?

Some of it. In a random sample of 300 Village of Estero homes, 15 percent were in FEMA's special flood hazard area (Zones AE and AH) and 67 percent were in Zone X. All 60 sampled homes in the unincorporated Estero communities were Zone X. Flood risk concentrates west of US 41 and along the Estero River. Data updated: October 2026.

Sample, October 21, 2026	Zone X	Shaded X (0.2% annual chance)	Zone AE	Zone AH	In the special flood hazard area
Village of Estero, all (300)	202	53	34	11	15%
Village single family (173)	131	23	17	2	11%
Village condo (103)	71	19	13	0	13%
Village mobile home (24)	0	11	4	9	54%
Unincorporated Estero (60)	60	0	0	0	0%

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer point queries, with timeouts filled from the Lee County Property Appraiser flood layer (same FIRM data). It is a sample, not a parcel census. Sampled special flood hazard points clustered in Corkscrew Woodlands, Copper Oaks, Riverwoods Plantation, Marsh Landing, Villagio, parts of Pelican Sound, West Bay Club and The Colony, and single points in Tidewater, Rookery Pointe, Estero River Heights, Quarterdeck Cove, Mariners Cove and Country Creek. The published base flood elevation was 11 feet at 14 sampled points.

Not all of Estero is on the 2022 flood maps

Most western Estero panels took effect on November 17, 2022, but parts of the Village still sit on panels from August 28, 2008 (including 12071C0625F, an unprinted panel east of I-75 with no special flood hazard area) and December 7, 2018. The Village's Community Rating System Class 6 gives flood insurance policies a 20 percent discount inside the special flood hazard area and 10 percent outside it.

Flood zone and evacuation zone are different maps

Lee County's evacuation zones measure storm surge, not flood insurance. In the same sample, 29 percent of Village homes were in evacuation Zone A, 17 percent in B, 33 percent in C and 21 percent in D, so a home can be Zone X for flood insurance and Zone A for evacuation (Breckenridge, Meadows of Estero, Terra Vista, Coconut Shores and Meadowbrook are examples). The unincorporated Estero communities sampled as evacuation Zone D, E or outside any zone.

Hurricane Ian and Milton in Estero

The National Hurricane Center recorded maximum inundation of 8 to 12 feet above ground in Estero, Bonita Beach, Bonita Springs and North Naples during Hurricane Ian on September 28, 2022, with a USGS high-water mark of 8.3 feet near Mullock Creek. The Village recorded an 11.2-foot high-water mark, about 1,400 homes severely affected, most damage west of US 41, and 250,000 cubic yards of debris collected by December 2022. Hurricane Milton (October 9, 2024) brought 4 to 6 feet of surge from south of Boca Grande through Bonita Beach.

The Estero River and Halfway Creek

The Estero River runs west through the Village to Estero Bay, and its North Branch drains the Country Creek and Three Oaks side. A Lee County drainage study modeled North Branch overflow bypasses that would lower Country Creek flood levels by 4.24 feet and cut the Estero River's downstream peak flow from 1,781 to 1,104 cubic feet per second; these are modeled concepts, not built projects. The Village's own North Branch regional pond, on a former School Board site it bought for $15 million in January 2024, is in design and permitting into early 2027.

What schools serve Estero homes?

Every sampled Estero home is in Lee County elementary choice Zone Q. Most are in middle Zone GG and high Zone South 3. The River neighborhoods west of US 41 fall in middle Zone MM, and Fort Myers 33967 addresses fall in high Zone South 2. Lee County assigns seats by lottery within the zone, so confirm the exact address with the district. Data updated: October 2026.

Level	Zone (share of 360 sampled homes)	Schools in the zone
Elementary	Q (360 of 360)	Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos Park, Spring Creek, Three Oaks
Middle	GG (342 of 360)	Bonita Springs Middle, Three Oaks Middle
Middle	MM (18; Breckenridge, Mariners Cove, Riverwoods, Terra Vista, Trailside, Estero River Heights, Quarterdeck Cove)	Cypress Lake Middle, Lexington Middle
High	South 3 (268 of 360)	Bonita Springs High, Estero High, South Fort Myers High
High	South 2 (92; all 33967 and northern 33928)	Bonita Springs, Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Estero, Fort Myers and South Fort Myers High

Esplanade at Kingston, north of Corkscrew Road, falls in different zones; check that address separately. Florida Gulf Coast University sits on the northern edge of the Village, 2.7 miles from Village Hall.

What do Estero property taxes, HOA and CDD fees cost?

An Estero tax bill adds the Village (0.73 mills), Lee County, the school district (5.271 mills for 2026-27), the fire district (Estero Fire Rescue, 2.288 mills for 2026-27, for most of Estero) and smaller districts, plus any community CDD. Unincorporated Estero homes pay the Lee County unincorporated levy instead of the Village. Data updated: October 2026.

Taxing body	Rate	Year	Who pays
Village of Estero	0.7300 mills	FY2025-26 and FY2026-27 (adopted September 23, 2026, 7 to 0)	Village parcels
Lee County	3.7623 mills	FY2025-26	All parcels
Lee County Library	0.4218 mills	FY2025-26	All parcels
Lee County Unincorporated MSTU plus All Hazards	0.8398 plus 0.0693 mills	FY2025-26	Unincorporated parcels only
School District of Lee County	5.271 mills	2026-27 (5.319 in 2025-26)	All parcels
Estero Fire Rescue	2.288 mills	FY2026-27	Most of the Village and all unincorporated Estero

Ask for the property's last tax bill before you buy, because community development district (CDD) assessments ride on it and vary widely. Three examples from the community research: the Kingston One CDD set FY2027 totals from $1,244.68 to $2,563.83 a year by lot size, the Stoneybrook CDD adopted $1,514.11 per home for FY2027, and WildBlue's FY2027 per-home totals run from $4,119.93 to $8,827.61. HOA dues are set by each association, change every year and are not published in one place for Estero, so ask the association for its current budget and any special assessment. For help weighing those costs against each community's lifestyle, Jesse and Marc's Estero community guide at McGreevy and Comisar walks through which Estero community fits which buyer.

The Village carries an S&P AAA rating, adopted a $72,973,080 budget for FY2026-27 and authorized up to $65 million in Series 2026 bonds. Water and sewer come from Lee County Utilities north of Williams Road and Bonita Springs Utilities south of it, and the Lee County Sheriff provides law enforcement; the Village has no police department of its own.

What is changing in Estero?

Road widening, sewer conversions and new mixed-use projects along US 41 are the big Estero changes now under way. Corkscrew Road's four-lane Phase 2 is due to finish at the end of 2026, the Village is moving 1,631 properties from septic to sewer, and new apartments are rising near Coconut Point. Data updated: October 2026.

Where is Estero, and how far is it from the beach and the airport?

Estero sits between Fort Myers and Naples, about 8.7 miles from the RSW airport terminal and 4.4 miles from Lovers Key State Park, measured in straight lines from Coconut Point. Most of the Village uses I-75 Exit 123 at Corkscrew Road; the south end is nearer Exit 116 at Bonita Beach Road. Data updated: October 2026.

From Coconut Point (straight-line miles)	Miles
Estero Village Hall, 9401 Corkscrew Palms Circle	1.8
I-75 Exit 123, Corkscrew Road (estimated point)	3.1
Lovers Key State Park, 8700 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach	4.4
Florida Gulf Coast University	4.5
Bonita Beach Park	4.9
I-75 Exit 128, Alico Road (estimated point)	6.1
I-75 Exit 116, Bonita Beach Road (estimated point)	6.4
RSW airport terminal	8.7
Fort Myers City Hall	16.9
Naples City Hall	18.4

Distances are straight lines between Census geocoder coordinates, not drive times. Estero Boulevard is on Estero Island in the Town of Fort Myers Beach, not in the Village of Estero.

Who lives in Estero?

Estero skews older and owner-occupied. The Census Bureau's 2025 estimate puts 51.9 percent of Village residents at 65 or older and 9.9 percent under 18, and 86.0 percent of homes are owner-occupied. The median household income was $104,102 in the 2020 to 2024 survey. Data updated: October 2026.

Census measure (Village of Estero)	Value	Survey
Population estimate	38,365	July 1, 2025
Persons 65 and over	51.9%	2025 estimate
Households	18,573	ACS 2020 to 2024
Persons per household	2.03	ACS 2020 to 2024
Owner-occupied rate	86.0%	ACS 2020 to 2024
Median value, owner-occupied	$461,900	ACS 2020 to 2024
Median monthly owner costs with and without a mortgage	$2,235 and $938	ACS 2020 to 2024
Median gross rent	$1,920	ACS 2020 to 2024
Bachelor's degree or higher (25 and over)	50.8%	ACS 2020 to 2024
Mean travel time to work	26.0 minutes	ACS 2020 to 2024

The Village has 24,033 residential parcels against 18,573 year-round households, which suggests roughly a quarter of homes are seasonal, second or vacant homes. That is our inference from two different counts, not a Census figure.
