How fast Estates at Estero River homes sell
The median closing in the last 12 months took 80 days on market and sold at 96.2 percent of the list price; over five years the median was 56 days at 97.4 percent. The one active listing on October 21, 2026 had been on the market 330 days, a sign of where buyers set the ceiling.
Which Estates at Estero River homes back onto the river?
Only some of them. A row of 29 homes on the north side of Estero River Circle backs onto the Estero River, behind a 75-foot conservation easement, and 21 of those are coded as river parcels on the county roll. The rest of the 94 homes face the loop street or the interior. No home has a dock or seawall. Data updated: October 2026.
The kayak launch
The community reaches the river at one controlled access point, a canoe and kayak launch with a picnic area and gazebo. From there the Estero River runs west toward Estero Bay.
Why we do not call it a riverfront community
Most of the homes do not touch the river, and the ones that do cannot build docks across the conservation easement. If river frontage matters to you, ask us for the river-row homes on the market and their recorded sales.
What else it backs onto
The Estero River and its conservation strip lie to the north, Summercrest, a Toll Brothers community, lies on the south line, and Sandy Lane is the entry on the west. The Groves is also off Sandy Lane.
What are the homes in Estates at Estero River like?
Estates at Estero River homes are one- and two-story single-family houses built from 2004 to 2006 by Coastal Living Homes, LLC, on lots of 0.152 to 0.412 acre, a median of 0.172. The median home has 2,927 heated square feet. Data updated: October 2026.
Sizes and bedrooms
The Lee County roll lists heated areas from 1,796 to 3,638 square feet. Of the 94 homes, 13 have three bedrooms, 61 have four and 20 have five. 72 of the 94 have a pool.
Built after the 2001 code
Every home was built after the 2001 Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002, which insurers generally treat more favorably than pre-2002 construction. Roof age still matters on homes now 20 years old, so ask for the roof permit date and the wind mitigation report.
The builder and the name
Coastal Living Homes, LLC built the community and is now an inactive company. The land was planned in 1999 as Kristen Woods and marketed for a time as Estero River Estates before the plat was recorded as The Estates at Estero River.
Not to be confused with
Estero River Heights and Marshalls Estero River Groves are different, older subdivisions. See our Estero River Heights page for that neighborhood on the north bank.
What does it cost to own in Estates at Estero River?
Owners pay The Estates at Estero River Community Association and Lee County property tax. There is no CDD, and the association describes its fees as very low, but it does not publish the amount, so we read it from current listings and the estoppel. Data updated: October 2026.
The association fee
The Estates at Estero River Community Association, Inc. (Sunbiz N03000009120, annual report filed March 27, 2026) is managed by NextGen Community Management. As entered on MLS listings in the 12 months to October 22, 2026, the association fee is $366 a quarter on most homes, with $319 on one. Ask the seller for the last two statements and the estoppel certificate.
Capital contribution and transfer fee
The association does not publish a capital contribution or transfer fee. Any charge at closing appears on the estoppel certificate, which the seller orders.
No CDD
The association states there is no CDD tax, and the community is in the Village of Estero tax district with no community development district line.
Property taxes
The tax bill carries the Village of Estero's 0.73 mills for 2026-27 and the school district's 5.271 mills, plus Lee County and the fire district. A buyer's taxable value resets to the purchase price, so ask for the seller's last bill.
What to ask for before an offer
Ask for the estoppel certificate, the association budget, the roof permit date, the wind mitigation report, the elevation certificate for a river-row lot, and whether the home has a pool permit on file.
Is Estates at Estero River in a flood zone?
Our FEMA flood map sample returned Zone X at all six addresses we tested: three in minimal-hazard X and three in the shaded 0.2 percent annual chance band. None was in Zone AE. The sample points on a loop street are approximate, so check any river-row lot by its own address. Data updated: October 2026.
| Address sampled | FEMA zone |
|---|---|
| 9009 Estero River Cir | X (minimal hazard) |
| 9099 Estero River Cir | X (shaded, 0.2 percent) |
| 9161 Estero River Cir | X (minimal hazard) |
| 9190 Estero River Cir | X (shaded, 0.2 percent) |
| 9231 Estero River Cir | X (minimal hazard) |
| 9272 Estero River Cir | X (shaded, 0.2 percent) |
Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, point queries run October 21, 2026 on US Census geocodes.
How to check one address
Look the address up on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center or the Lee County parcel flood viewer, ask the seller for the elevation certificate, and get an insurance quote before the inspection period ends. The Village of Estero's Class 6 Community Rating System rating cuts National Flood Insurance Program premiums by 20 percent.
The river-row lots
The river-row lots sit nearest the Estero River and its conservation strip, so ask for the elevation certificate and the seller's flood and insurance claim history on any of those homes.
