Lee County recorded 5 qualified Estero River Heights sales in the 12 months to September 25, 2026, at a $517,500 median, from $375,000 to $1,075,000.

We tracked every recorded Estero River Heights sale on the Lee County file to build these numbers.

What Estero River Heights homes are like
Estero River Heights was platted by Estero River Heights Inc., a Florida corporation filed in April 1956 and dissolved in 1974. The neighborhood sits on two recorded plats, Plat Book 10 Page 15 and a later unit at Plat Book 25 Page 133. The name is historic: it does not describe the ground, which is low and mapped in the FEMA floodplain (see the flood section below).
Streets, lots and water
The county roll counts 85 homes: 84 single-family and 1 small multi-family, plus 8 vacant lots and 3 common parcels. Pine Tree Lane holds 33 parcels, Riverside Drive 29, Park Place 11, Coconut Drive 11, Palmetto Terrace 6, Royal Palm Drive 4 and Estego Court 2. Lots run a median 0.33 acre. The roll counts 15 river lots and 13 canal lots, flags a boat dock on 14 parcels and a seawall on 23.
Age and size
Homes were built from 1961 to 2025, a median year of 1986, and run 744 to 3,671 heated square feet on the county roll, a median of 1,686. The roll counts 18 two-bedroom, 53 three-bedroom, 11 four-bedroom and 1 five-bedroom home. There is no gate, no golf and no age restriction.
Is there an HOA in Estero River Heights?
No mandatory one. Sunbiz shows no active Estero River Heights association; the only entity of that name is the 1956 developer corporation, dissolved in 1974. Some owners may belong to a voluntary neighborhood group, so ask the seller what, if anything, they pay, and read the recorded plat restrictions for the lot.
Sewer and water are coming to Estero River Heights
On June 17, 2026 the Estero Village Council passed Resolution 2026-09, accepting FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant 4673-338-R for sanitary sewer and potable water in Quarterdeck Cove, Estero River Heights, Cranbrook Harbor, Broadway Mobile Home Village and Holiday Drive. The project totals $20,254,479, with $15,190,859.25 federal and $5,063,619.75 local, and the Village said the work would come at no cost or very little cost to the area residents.
What it means for a buyer
Ask the seller how the home is served today, get a septic and well inspection if it uses them, and watch the Village's project notices for the connection schedule and any connection steps the owner must take.

Hurricane Ian
After Hurricane Ian in September 2022, the Village of Estero said the communities west of US 41 were hit hardest, in particular those along West Broadway, and named Estero River Heights among them. Ask every seller for the home's storm history, repairs, permits and insurance claims.
How to check one address
Look the address up on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center or the Lee County parcel flood viewer, ask for the elevation certificate, and get a flood and wind insurance quote before the inspection period ends. The Village of Estero takes part in FEMA's Community Rating System, which lowers flood insurance premiums for policies in the Village.
