Kingston in Estero: The Next Great Master-Planned Community Off Corkscrew Road Groundbreaking news, builder lineup, amenities — and why having an expert Realtor matters more than ever.
The future of Corkscrew Road just took a major step forward. Cameratta Companies has officially broken ground on Kingston, joined by Lee County officials and the nation’s leading builders: Lennar, Pulte Homes, Neal Communities, Taylor Morrison (Phase 1), and Kolter Homes (Phase 2).
Over the next decade, Kingston is set to become one of the largest and most thoughtfully designed master-planned communities in Southwest Florida — with 11,000+ homes, massive lifestyle amenities, restored natural ecosystems, and a forward-thinking layout unlike anything currently available in Estero.
As a Realtor with 10 years of experience selling new construction, this is one of the most exciting long-term developments I’ve seen — and buyers who understand the phases, builders, and timelines early will have a real advantage.
What to Expect: Kingston’s Long-Term Vision
Cameratta Companies is known for large-scale communities like The Place at Corkscrew and Verdana Village. With Kingston, they’re raising the bar even higher.
Over the next 10–15 years, the community will feature:
• 11,000+ total homes across multiple builder pods
• Restored natural flow-ways and preserve systems
• A charter school plus a future high school
• Resort-level amenities rivaling luxury lifestyle clubs
• A protected Florida panther underpass along Corkscrew Road
• Over 3,300 acres of preserved land — nearly 60% of the entire property
This isn’t just another neighborhood — Kingston is being built as a complete ecosystem.

The first phase of Kingston will include:
Phase 1

Why You Need Representation When Buying in Kingston
(And why my 10 years in new construction gives you a major advantage)
Many buyers don’t realize: The onsite sales agents represent the builder — not the buyer.
With a project as large and complex as Kingston, choosing the right pod, the right builder, the right floorplan, and the right homesite is crucial.
Here’s how I help you:
• Understanding each builder’s pricing, incentives, and upgrade structure
• Identifying homesites with better long-term value
• Breaking down HOA vs CDD fees between sections
• Watching for early-phase pricing opportunities
• Navigating construction timelines and contracts
• Ensuring inspections, walkthroughs, and milestones are done correctly
• Comparing Kingston to Verdana Village, The Place, and other Corkscrew communities
• Protecting you during every step — at no cost to you
Thinking About Buying in Kingston? Start Now.
With groundbreaking complete and models coming in early 2026, early buyers will benefit the most — especially as builder pricing rises year over year.
