What Is Kingston?
A Cameratta Companies development at 22500 Corkscrew Road in Estero, and by a wide margin the largest thing being built here.
It was announced at roughly 7,000 acres, with about half the land to be restored as wetland, wildlife corridor and preserve, and a build-out figure of approximately 10,000 residences across single-family homes, villas and condominiums, alongside commercial space and hotel units.
Model homes opened in 2026. That date is the most important sentence on this page, and the next section explains why.

How Much of Kingston Actually Exists Yet?
Very little of it, and this is the honest thing to say about Kingston rather than the numbers.
A community announced at 10,000 residences with its model homes opened in 2026 is at the very beginning. Almost everything written about Kingston, including the figures in the section above, describes what is intended rather than what stands. Plans of this scale run for many years and they are revised as they run.
That is not a reason to avoid it. Buying early into a large master-planned community is a legitimate thing to do, and the people who did it at the other Corkscrew Road communities generally did well by it. But it is a different purchase from buying into a finished community, and it should be made with the difference in view.
What it means practically: what you are shown is a plan, the amenities have delivery dates rather than opening hours, and your first years there will be lived on a construction site. Ask what is contracted versus what is projected, what is funded, and in what order things are scheduled to arrive.
What Is Planned There?
The announced amenity list includes an indoor sports complex, outdoor recreation, and a saloon for live entertainment and casual dining, alongside the commercial space and hotel units that come with a development of this size.
Written plainly: Kingston is intended to be closer to a small town than to a neighbourhood. That is genuinely different from anything else in Estero, and whether it appeals depends entirely on whether that is what you want from where you live.
Multiple builders are involved, which in practice means the product range will be wide and the communities within it will differ from one another. Establish which builder and which neighbourhood you are actually buying in, because "Kingston" will not be one thing.
What Is Confirmed, and What Is Not
Worth separating, because at this stage of a development a great deal of what circulates is projection.
Gated: yes. Confirmed.
The numbers: treat with care. The acreage and residence counts in circulation come from development announcements and local press rather than from current developer material, and they vary between sources. Treat them as the scale of the ambition rather than as a specification, and ask for current figures on the specific neighbourhood you are looking at.
The water: lakes, and nothing beyond them. Kingston is inland on the Corkscrew Road corridor and there is no boat route to the Gulf from it. Pelican Sound is the only Estero community with genuine Gulf access.
How Does It Compare With the Rest of Estero?
It does not really compare, which is the point of it.
Corkscrew Shores, RiverCreek and Verdana Village are finished or nearly finished communities on the same corridor where you can walk the amenity and meet the neighbours. Corkscrew Estates is a small enclave of estate homesites. The club communities closer in, Grandezza, West Bay Club and Pelican Sound, are established and offer a course or real water.
Kingston offers scale and an early position, and asks you to wait. If you want to see the clubhouse before you buy, buy elsewhere on this road. For the wider market see Estero real estate and buying a home in Estero.
How I Would Approach It With You
Carefully, and with more questions than a finished community needs.
What I would want in writing: what is contracted rather than projected, when each amenity is scheduled and what happens if it slips, which builder and which neighbourhood the home sits in, whether a community development district assessment applies and what it covers, and what is planned on the land immediately around your lot. Buying early is reasonable. Buying early without those answers is not. The step-by-step buying process shows where they fall.
Get in touch or call (239) 300-1427, and if a finished community suits you better I will say so.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is Kingston in Estero?
It was announced at roughly 7,000 acres with about half to be restored as wetland, wildlife corridor and preserve, and approximately 10,000 residences at build-out across single-family homes, villas and condominiums, plus commercial space and hotel units. Those figures come from development announcements and local press rather than current developer material and they vary between sources, so treat them as the scale of the ambition rather than a specification.
Is Kingston finished?
No, it is at the very beginning. Model homes opened in 2026 on a plan announced at around 10,000 residences, so nearly everything written about Kingston describes intent rather than what stands. Buying early into a development of this size is a legitimate decision, but it is a different purchase from buying into a finished community and the first years are lived alongside construction.
Is Kingston gated?
Yes. What is worth asking about separately is the scale and the timing rather than the gate: Kingston is planned across multiple builders and multiple neighbourhoods, so establish which neighbourhood a home sits in, what is contracted rather than projected, and when each amenity is scheduled to arrive.
Does Kingston have Gulf access?
No. Kingston is inland on the Corkscrew Road corridor with no boat route to Estero Bay or the Gulf. Pelican Sound is the only Estero community with genuine Gulf access by boat.
What should I ask before buying early at Kingston?
What is contracted rather than projected, when each amenity is scheduled to be delivered and what happens if it slips, which builder and which neighbourhood the home sits in, whether a community development district assessment applies and what it covers, and what is planned on the land immediately around the lot. Multiple builders are involved, so Kingston will not be one thing and the answers will differ by neighbourhood.
