Estero, FL: growing by about 80 residents every week!

Estero is a small town in Lee County, Florida with a population of only 18,176 people. It’s main claim to fame is the Germain Arena, which is home to the Florida Everglades ice hockey team. The town is centered around the spring-fed Estero River, and is also home to Florida Gulf Coast University. It’s a lovely and relaxing place to visit and live and its residents boast about the peace and calm one can find on the nearby beaches and state park.

What to Know about Estero

While renters make up only 10.44 percent of the population in Estero, there is a 39 percent vacancy rate! This means there is a lot of opportunity to find apartments to rent! The median home cost, at $211,900, is a little higher than the national median. There are many homes, apartments and condo units available, so keep an open mind, and you’ll be able to find pretty much anything you’re looking for.

Be sure to bring along all the necessary paperwork. You’ll need your ID, credit history, proof of employment and any other items your landlord or broker may have requested. Be sure to check with them beforehand to make sure you don’t show up without the right stuff! It will save you time and energy in the long run. Although, with the high vacancy rate, there’s a good chance that realtors will be barking up your tree rather than the other way around. Still, it never hurts to make a good impression, so be sure to show up on time and have a happy, optimistic attitude about your search.

The Mound Key Archaeological State Park features ancient shell mounds that are made of bones, shells and old pottery pieces.
