If you’re thinking about buying in Kingston Estero, here’s where things stand. Kingston officially opened its doors on October 17, 2026, with a grand opening celebration at 20064 Kingston Southern Parkway in Estero (Cameratta Companies). If you want photos from the day itself, see my Kingston grand opening recap. This guide covers what we know today, what’s still to come, and how to approach Kingston if you’re thinking about buying here.

Kingston Estero at a glance: 7,600+ acres on Corkscrew Road

Kingston spans more than 7,600 acres on Corkscrew Road, about 10 miles east of I-75. More than 3,750 of those acres are set aside as preserve. Plans call for up to 10,000 homes and 700,000 square feet of commercial space (Cameratta Companies). The Naples Daily News also covered the opening and the scale of what’s planned. For the layout, see the Kingston master plan.

Kingston South builders: Lennar, Neal and Pulte

Kingston South is planned for 3,625 homes from three builders (Kingston Living):

Esplanade at Kingston by Taylor Morrison

Esplanade at Kingston by Taylor Morrison is planned for 1,285 homes across 14 floor plans, with a spa, resort pool, wellness center and culinary center (Cameratta Companies).

Kolter Homes has also been named as a future Kingston builder. Details have not yet been announced. I’m watching for updates and will share them as soon as they’re official. To see the current builders side by side, use my builder comparison.

Kingston home prices: from the $400s

According to Kingston’s official builders page, homes start from the $400s (Kingston Living). Pricing, incentives and availability change often and vary by builder, plan and homesite, so confirm current numbers before you decide. My Kingston pricing breakdown goes deeper.

Kingston amenities and schools

The community’s plans include an indoor sports complex, “The Saloon” for live entertainment and dining, and a resort pool with slides. Opening dates for these amenities haven’t been announced yet. A tuition-free K-12 True North Classical charter school is planned for 2028 (more on my Kingston schools page).

On the commercial side, WMG Development is handling Kingston’s retail and commercial plans (Kingston Living).

What Kingston Estero buyers should know now

  • Compare builders side by side. Each has its own plans, features, HOA structure and timelines.
  • Ask about the timing of amenities. Many are planned and don’t have dates yet, so ask what exists today and what’s coming later.
  • Bring your own representation. The sales agents in the model homes represent the builder. Having your own agent with you on the first visit helps protect your interests.
  • Watch for new phases. Early releases and builder announcements, like Kolter’s, can move quickly.

Information is from the linked public sources as of October 27, 2026, and is subject to change. Pricing, features, plans and amenities are set by the developer and builders and are not guaranteed. Equal Housing Opportunity.
