Overview

Why so many people are choosing Estero

Estero sits right between Fort Myers and Naples, which gives you the best of both without the downtown traffic of either. Settled in the 1890s and officially incorporated as the Village of Estero at the end of 2014, Estero has grown into one of the most in-demand addresses in Southwest Florida.

Daily life is easy here. Coconut Point, Miromar Outlets, and Hertz Arena are close by, Florida Gulf Coast University anchors the north end, and the beaches at Bonita and Fort Myers Beach are a short drive west. Koreshan State Park and Estero Bay Preserve keep nature close.

For buyers, Estero’s real story is Corkscrew Road. Communities like Stoneybrook, Bella Terra, WildBlue, The Place at Corkscrew, Verdana Village, and now Kingston give you everything from golf and lake living to brand-new construction.

Homes

Homes, builders and HOA notes in Estero

Estero offers everything from golf-course villas and coach homes near US-41 to brand-new single-family homes from national builders along Corkscrew Road, where Lennar, Pulte, Neal Communities and Taylor Morrison are all active. Many communities have both an HOA and a CDD, and some bundle golf membership into the fees, so two homes at the same price can cost very different amounts each month.

Schools

Schools near Estero

Estero is served by the School District of Lee County, which assigns students through a school choice zone system. Public schools the Village of Estero lists for the area include:

  • Pinewoods Elementary (K–5), on Stoneybrook Golf Drive
  • Three Oaks Middle (6–8), on Three Oaks Parkway
  • Estero High (9–12), on River Ranch Road

Assignments depend on your exact address and can change from year to year, so confirm the schools for a specific home with the district at 239-334-1102 before you buy. The district has approved early funding for a new elementary school and a new middle school to serve the Estero area, with sites and opening dates still to be announced.

Florida Gulf Coast University sits on Estero’s northern edge, which is a big draw for faculty, staff and families with college-age kids.
