Jim's Florida Tip
Estero is the master-planned community capital of Southwest Florida. Buyers should identify whether they want bundled golf (included in HOA) or pay-as-you-play, as this significantly affects HOA fees and overall cost. RSW Airport proximity is a major lifestyle advantage for part-time residents flying in from the Northeast.
