If you've been waiting for more information about Kingston in Estero, Florida, I have exciting news. I recently had the opportunity to get an early look inside three newly redesigned Lennar floor plans coming to Kingston South — updated versions of three of Lennar's most popular home designs: the Trevi, Summerville, and Amalfi. Whether you're relocating to Southwest Florida, looking for a full-time residence, purchasing a seasonal home, or simply curious about what's coming to Kingston, these are worth seeing.
Which Lennar Floor Plans Are Coming to Kingston?
Lennar is bringing updated versions of three well-known floor plans to Kingston South, alongside Pulte and Neal Communities. See Lennar's full lineup at Kingston →
The New Trevi
The Trevi has long been one of Lennar's most popular single-story floor plans — buyers have traditionally loved it for its four bedrooms, three bathrooms, open main living area, and a layout that makes excellent use of the available space. It can work especially well for families, retirees who frequently host guests, multigenerational households, or buyers who want extra bedrooms without moving into a two-story home. In my video tour, I walk through the newly redesigned version and point out some of the changes Lennar has made to modernize the layout.
The New Summerville
The Summerville has always been a buyer favorite because of its spacious single-story design, open-concept living area, dedicated den, generous bedroom layout, and three-car garage — a strong option for buyers who want room to entertain, work from home, host visiting family, or simply want additional storage and garage space. The redesigned Summerville coming to Kingston includes several thoughtful updates, including five bedrooms, that give the home a more modern feel.
The New Amalfi
The Amalfi is a two-story home that offers flexibility for buyers who need more bedrooms, additional living space, or separation between different areas of the home — a layout that may be especially appealing to growing families, buyers with older children, multigenerational households, or anyone who wants dedicated space for guests, work, hobbies, or entertainment. In the video, I show you how the redesigned Amalfi compares with the version many Lennar buyers may already know.
Why Buyers Are Excited About Kingston
Kingston is shaping up to become one of the most exciting new communities in the Estero and Southwest Florida area. The larger Kingston development is expected to include multiple neighborhoods, several homebuilders, a variety of home styles, resort-style amenities, commercial space, shopping, dining, services, and future community conveniences. Its location along the eastern Corkscrew Road corridor also places residents near other popular Estero communities, Southwest Florida International Airport, shopping, dining, golf, recreation, and Gulf Coast beaches.
Because several builders and home collections are planned within Kingston, buyers have a lot of decisions ahead of them — builder, floor plan, homesite location, lot premiums, community fees, design options, builder incentives, construction timelines, and future amenities all factor in. That's why it's worth starting your research early, especially if you want access to the best homesites or hope to purchase during an early phase of the community.

Should You Work With a Realtor When Buying New Construction?
One of the biggest misconceptions about buying a newly built home is that you'll automatically get a better price by going directly to the builder without your own agent. In most new-construction transactions, the builder has already accounted for real estate commissions in its marketing and sales budget — having your own representation generally doesn't increase the advertised price of the home.
An experienced new-construction Realtor can help you compare builders and communities objectively, understand the real differences between similar floor plans, evaluate homesite premiums and locations, review available builder incentives, ask the right questions about HOA and CDD fees, understand construction timelines and expectations, coordinate inspections during the building process, and navigate the transaction from contract through closing. It's also genuinely important to have your Realtor with you, or properly registered, during your first visit to many builders — builder registration policies can be strict, and an agent may not be able to represent you later if those requirements weren't followed on your initial visit.
If you have questions about Lennar at Kingston, one of these three new floor plans, or another Southwest Florida community, I'd love to hear from you.
