Estero is Spanish for "estuary", meaning where the river joins the sea. Until just the past few years, Estero was a quiet and sleepy river town of predominantly single family residential properties. However today, with the explosion of growth in its nearest neighbor - the city of Bonita Springs – Estero is rapidly changing its appearance. Over 10,000,000 square feet of commercial space and 11,000 housing units are now being developed and Estero is experiencing a sea change to its quiet beginnings.
Estero is blessed with a varied, energetic and eco-friendly population base – here you'll find an active and vital Art League, Historical Society, Lion's Club, Friends of the Library, and a strong adherence to smart growth with an eye towards conserving the natural and lush tropical environment that's everywhere in this Southwest Florida community.
Well known communities in Estero include Bella Terra, Grandezza, Marsh Landing, Pelican Sound, Rapallo, Stoneybrook and The West Bay Club. With its centralized location and terrific amenities, Estero is a most desirable new place to consider here in Southwest Florida.
The Estero real estate market has every type of community being built within the its boundaries, from large gated and planned communities, to smaller town centre type projects built around a self-contained lifestyle. Estero is one of the last areas to be developed in south Lee County and purchasing property here may be very fortuitous for future owners. Estero offers excellent schools, health care, and of course, year round sunshine. So bring your family and friends and explore the numerous and exciting opportunities this area of Southwest Florida has to offer!
