Meadows of Estero Homes for Sale in Estero, FL

Size and Structure of The Meadows of Estero

The Meadows of Estero has 262 coach homes (Naples Condo Boutique, Oct 2026). Each building was recorded as its own condominium phase: one first-floor unit is described as “Phase 3, Building 3, Unit 101” under Instrument 2006-371182, and a second-floor unit as “Phase 20, Building 20, Unit 204” under Instrument 2006-388986 (Homefront listing, Oct 2026; BEX Realty sold record, Feb 2026). Parcel numbers start with 33-46-25, which places the community in Section 33, Township 46, Range 25 (Homefront listing, Oct 2026). Streets inside the gates include Baccarat Lane, Lansing Loop, Cherry Blossom Court and Taft Court, and the community has two gated entrances (Century 21 listing for 21572 Baccarat Ln, 2025).

The phase-by-building recording matters when you read documents. Ask for the declaration and amendments that apply to your building as well as the master documents, and check that the unit number on the contract matches the building and phase on the deed.

Floor Plans: First Floor vs. Second Floor

MLS records show two main sizes:

• First-floor units: about 1,917 to 2,011 square feet of living area, with 2.5 to 3 baths and a two-car attached garage (21522 Baccarat Ln #102 and 21584 Baccarat Ln #101 and #103, MLS, 2026). The MLS usually lists these as 3 bedrooms, so the den in the original plan is often counted as a bedroom.
• Second-floor units: 2,878 square feet under air with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. One end unit is recorded at 3,708 total square feet, a figure that includes non-air-conditioned space such as the garage and lanai (3501 Cherry Blossom Ct #204, BEX Realty, Feb 2026). These units also have a two-car garage.

The second-floor units we reviewed all have an elevator shaft built in for a future elevator. Owners use it as storage or a walk-in closet, and one listing notes the shaft is air-conditioned (BEX Realty, Feb 2026; Real Geeks MLS listing for 3530 Lansing Loop #202, Sep 2026). If stairs are a concern, ask the association what approvals and costs apply to installing an elevator in that shaft. Ceilings run about 9 to 10 feet with tray details, and units have fire sprinklers (Real Geeks MLS listing for 21584 Baccarat Ln #103, 2026).

What the Quarterly Fee Covers

Recent listings show the condo fee at $1,996 per quarter, or $7,984 a year (3501 Cherry Blossom Ct and 21536 Taft Ct, MLS, 2025 to 2026), with some 2026 listings showing $2,022 per quarter, or $8,088 a year (21584 Baccarat Ln #101 and #103, MLS, 2026). One sold listing itemizes the fee as covering association management, building insurance, cable TV, internet, water, sewer, trash, irrigation water, grounds maintenance, pest control, road maintenance, street lights, security, the recreation facilities, legal and accounting, and the reserve fund (BEX Realty, Feb 2026). Since water, sewer, cable and internet are bundled, compare the fee to your total monthly utility and condo costs rather than to a single-family HOA. You can run the numbers on our SWFL mortgage calculator.

A property manager is on site, and the community runs weekly social events such as yoga, water aerobics and game nights (Real Geeks MLS listing for 21584 Baccarat Ln #103, 2026). Annual taxes on a second-floor unit were $3,589 for 2024 (BEX Realty, Feb 2026), though your bill will depend on purchase price and homestead status.

2024 Roof and Exterior Project

Listings date the community’s roof replacement and exterior painting to 2024 (Real Geeks MLS listings for 21536 Taft Ct #203 and 3530 Lansing Loop #202, Sep 2026). One 2026 listing says the work was completed “at no cost to owners” (21584 Baccarat Ln #101, Homefront, Oct 2026), and a 2025 listing describes the community as “free of outstanding assessments” (21572 Baccarat Ln #204, Century 21, 2025). Those are seller statements, so confirm them against the association’s budget, reserve study and board minutes. Because the association insures the buildings, a 2024 roof matters mainly for the master insurance policy that the quarterly fee pays for, and it is a selling point against other coach-home communities built in 2005 to 2007.

Pets, Vehicles and Leasing

Pets are allowed with association approval (Real Geeks MLS listings, 2026). One listing states the limit as two dogs up to 100 pounds each, with no aggressive breeds (Century 21 listing for 21572 Baccarat Ln, 2025). Recorded restrictions listed in the MLS include no RVs and no commercial vehicles (Real Geeks MLS listing for 3530 Lansing Loop #202, Sep 2026). None of the listings we reviewed stated the minimum lease term or the number of leases allowed per year, so get that in writing from the association before you buy with rental plans.

Recent Sales and Market Pace

In the 12 months ending October 2026, 18 units sold at an average price of $418,667, with an average list-to-sale ratio of 93% and an average of 170 days to sell (BEX Realty, Oct 2026). As of October 21, 2026, there were 7 active listings with a median list price of $424,000 and asking prices from $369,000 to $525,000 (Naples Condo Boutique, Oct 2026).

Sources: BEX Realty (Feb 2026); Real Geeks MLS records (Sep 2026); Homefront (Oct 2026).

The pattern is that second-floor units sell for more than first-floor units because they are larger, while first-floor units appeal to buyers who want no stairs. End units, lake or preserve views, and west-facing lanais are the features sellers highlight most. If you own here, our Estero home value tool and the SWFL seller net sheet help you see where your unit fits before you list.

Flood Zone Claims and Storm Readiness

Several listings market The Meadows as being outside a flood zone, including “not in a flood zone” (3530 Lansing Loop #202, Sep 2026) and a “coveted no-flood-zone location” (21584 Baccarat Ln #101, Oct 2026). We could not confirm the FEMA zone for every building, so check the current FEMA map for the specific building before relying on that claim, especially since FEMA issued preliminary revised flood maps for Lee County in July 2024 (FEMA Map Service Center, 2024). Many units have electric roll-down or hurricane screens on the lanai as owner upgrades (21572 Baccarat Ln and 3600 Lansing Loop listings, 2025 to 2026). Owners preparing to sell should read our Florida flood disclosure guide.

Schools and Getting Around

Listings show The Meadows in Lee County school-choice Zone Q for elementary, Zone G for middle and South Zone 3 for high school (BEX Realty, Oct 2026). By distance, the nearest public schools are Estero High at about 1.2 miles, Three Oaks Elementary at about 2.6 miles, and Pinewoods Elementary and Three Oaks Middle at about 3.7 miles each (Century 21 listing data, 2025). Look up any address with our Estero school finder and confirm with the district.

Southwest Florida International Airport is about 9 miles away (BEX Realty, Oct 2026), and listings put Bonita Beach about 10 miles away (3530 Lansing Loop listing, Sep 2026). LeeTran Route 240, which runs between Bell Tower and Coconut Point, serves the area (BEX Realty, Feb 2026), and Coconut Point is close enough that listings describe it as walking or biking distance.
