East 1st Street runs along the Caloosahatchee near the heart of Fort Myers, a corridor where waterfront lots and established communities like Winkler and Verandah sit within an easy reach of the city center. It's the kind of pocket that rewards buyers who want river access and a settled, connected feel rather than a subdivision built yesterday. Nearby names like Arborwood and Westwood round out the mix of gated and waterfront options.
This is a thin, slow-moving market right now — just three active listings and two sales in the past year — so patience and a good agent matter. The median list price sits at $299,000 with a tight $299,000–$309,000 range, while last year's two closings landed at a median of $406,500. With homes averaging 123 days on market and sellers netting about 82% of asking, there's real room to negotiate; browse the current inventory on the live map.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
