Fort Myers Homes for Sale

4 Communities · Lakefront, River & Golf · As of Q2 2026

Fort Myers is the largest city in the Guillette Group’s Southwest Florida footprint, set along the Caloosahatchee River in Lee County with a citywide median sale price generally in the $350K to $465K range as of Q2 2026. Its luxury market concentrates in a few corridors: the lakefront-and-boating communities of Wildblue and Esplanade Lake Club along Corkscrew Road, and the riverfront yacht-and-golf living of Gulf Harbour on McGregor Boulevard.

Why Buyers Choose Fort Myers

Fort Myers offers range. Where Estero and Bonita Springs skew toward gated golf communities and Naples skews ultra-luxury, Fort Myers spans the spectrum, from attainable neighborhoods to multi-million-dollar lakefront and riverfront estates. For the Guillette Group’s clients, the action is in the luxury corridors: the master-planned lakefront communities off Corkscrew Road and the established riverfront communities along historic McGregor Boulevard.

The downtown Fort Myers River District is one of Southwest Florida’s most walkable cores, with restaurants, galleries, and a monthly Art Walk. The Edison and Ford Winter Estates sit on the river. JetBlue Park (Boston Red Sox) and Hammond Stadium (Minnesota Twins) bring spring-training baseball each year.
