Genova is one of the Estero communities we cover in depth, and other nearby communities on our site include Bella Terra and Rapallo at Coconut Point. If you are buying or selling here, our comparison of the best real estate agents in Estero shows how local agents stack up on the public record.
Genova is a gated luxury condominium community on Strada Nuova Circle in Estero, Florida, ZIP 33928, and when it is time to sell one of these Italian inspired residences, more owners want a team that already knows the buildings, the three association structure, and what a fourth floor Tursi plan is really worth. McGreevy and Comisar are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and that is exactly the kind of granular, community specific knowledge that gets a Genova seller a stronger price and a faster close. If you are ready to list, Jesse McGreevy is your direct line at (239) 898-6072. If you are searching for a condo here, Marc Comisar and the team will get you in front of the right listing before it hits the open market. Whether you are weighing a sale or planning a purchase, this page gives you the real, sourced story on Genova, told by the team that sells in Estero every week.
Selling a condominium inside a community like Genova is not the same as selling a standalone Estero home. Buyers ask about the indoor lap pool, the three separate associations, the two month rental minimum, the FEMA flood mapping, and whether the 2018 to 2020 concrete buildings carry any near term structural inspection risk, and an agent who cannot answer those questions loses credibility fast. McGreevy and Comisar built our business on already having those answers. We track Genova's resale market building by building, we know the difference between a 1,324 square foot Gambaro and a 2,206 square foot Tursi, and we know what a fourth floor lake view commands over a lower floor interior unit. Being Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 is not a slogan here, it is the difference between a Genova listing that sits and one that sells.
Recent Genova market (last 12 months): In the 12 months to October 21, 2026, we tracked 12 Genova condo closings on a development filtered Southwest Florida MLS Matrix report, totaling $5,529,650 in volume, at a $390,000 median and a $460,804 average, ranging from $325,000 to $764,000, with a fastest sale of 4 days on market and a median sale to list ratio of 96.2 percent. The Lee County deed record shows 13 qualified sales at a $400,000 median over the same 12 months (county file of November 2, 2026). Numbers like these, pulled clean and development specific, are why Genova sellers trust us with their most valuable asset.

Here is the short version of everything a buyer or seller needs to know about Genova before diving into the details below.
Life in Genova centers on a gated, Italian Riviera inspired condominium enclave wrapped around a central lake, where a rare indoor 25 meter lap pool, a beach entry resort pool, and a staffed members clubhouse do the heavy lifting that a golf course does elsewhere. Genova was built for buyers who want single family sized living without single family upkeep, and its position off Via Coconut Point puts shopping, dining, and a full medical campus within about two and a half miles.
The community was conceived by longtime Southwest Florida developer Jim Wallace, whose earlier Italian themed communities include Rapallo at Coconut Point and Lighthouse Bay at The Brooks, and Genova continues that architecture with 17th century Italianate courtyard buildings arranged so they face one another across the water. The street name, Strada Nuova Circle, is a direct nod to the famous Strada Nuova in Genoa, Italy, the inspiration for the community's name and look. Many Genova buyers are full time residents, and a meaningful share are downsizers coming out of larger golf and single family communities nearby who want to trade the yard and the club dues for lock and leave luxury.
Because Genova is a condominium community, the daily experience is genuinely low maintenance. Exterior building maintenance, landscaping, the amenity campus, and security are all handled through the associations, so residents can travel for weeks at a time without arranging a house sitter.

Genova sits inside ZIP code 33928 in the Village of Estero, one of Southwest Florida's most active resale corridors, and its condominium market behaves differently from the single family communities up Corkscrew Road because it is a split market: a cluster of smaller two bedroom and two bedroom plus den plans that trade in the $300,000s to high $400,000s, and a handful of large 2,206 square foot three and four bedroom plans that reach into the $600,000s and $700,000s.
Data updated: October 2026. In the 12 months to October 21, 2026, 12 homes in Genova closed on the Southwest Florida MLS at a median sold price of $390,000, a range of $325,000 to $764,000, a median of $231 per square foot of living area, a median 75 days on market, and a median 96.2% of the final list price. On October 21, 2026, 3 homes in Genova were listed for sale at a median asking price of $394,900, and 2 more were under contract; the 3 active listings are about 3.0 months of supply at the past year's pace.

Twelve months by the numbers. The 12 MLS closings we tracked totaled $5,529,650 in volume, an average of $460,804 against the $390,000 median, because a few large plan sales pull the average up. The highest sale was $764,000 for a 2,206 square foot plan, and the fastest sale took 4 days. On the county record (file of November 2, 2026), the same 12 months to October 21, 2026 show 13 qualified sales, all resales, at a $400,000 median and a median $227 per county heated square foot.
Active inventory on October 21, 2026: 3 condos were listed, from $349,900 to $569,000 with a median list price of $394,900, and 2 more were under contract, about 3.0 months of supply at the past year's pace, down from about 4.0 months on September 29, 2026. Well priced, updated units sell, and overpriced inventory sits.
The longer arc: the county record holds 200 qualified Genova sales since the first closing in July 2018: 97 builder sales through April 2021 at a $423,145 median, and 103 resales at a $471,000 median. The yearly median climbed from $459,900 in 2021 to $549,900 in 2023 on the post pandemic surge, fell to $379,000 in 2025 as rates and inventory weighed on the smaller plans, and stands at $434,500 on 10 sales in 2026, the year a 2,191 square foot resale set the community's resale high of $764,000 (Lee County file of November 2, 2026).

Genova was developed by Genova Partners, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that is active on the state's Sunbiz corporate registry (document number L15000021020), under the Wallace family development brand led by longtime Southwest Florida builder Jim Wallace. The community broke ground as the first major development in the Village of Estero's newly designated Village Center after the Village incorporated, on a roughly 17 acre parcel at the southeast quadrant of Corkscrew Road and Via Coconut Point, and the Lee County Property Appraiser records the condominium as "Genova One" with an actual year built of 2018.
The original master plan called for six four story Mediterranean style condominium buildings and roughly 200 residences (the developer's own site has cited 201, and a 2017 local feature cited 205). In practice, four condo buildings were built and sold, and the Lee County roll counts 131 residences in them: Building A at 21450 and Building B at 21460 Strada Nuova Circle (Genova One, built 2018), and Building C at 21530 and Building D at 21490 (Genova Two, built 2019 and 2020). The remaining two planned condo buildings on the vacant northern portion of the site were never built as condos.
Instead, that final phase was redesigned. The last undeveloped roughly 3.6 acre corner was rezoned away from the two remaining condo buildings and approved for a low rise finish: the Village of Estero's Planning, Zoning and Design Board approved a development order for infrastructure on January 14, 2025 for 11 townhomes and 20 single family villas, described in the Village's own record as the last phase of the Genova development. That final phase was marketed by CC Homes in partnership with Barron Collier Companies, and Gulfshore Business reported that the villa and townhome conversion brings the community total to around 162 units, which matches the roll: 131 condominiums plus 31 villas and townhomes. Engage Estero's development summary (updated July 16, 2026) lists that final phase as shelved with the land put up for sale, so the two sources disagree on its status; the roll still carries two Genova Three placeholder parcels marked future development. No foreclosure, receivership, or bulk sale distress was found in the public record; the change reads as a voluntary redesign of the last parcel, not a failed project. It is exactly this kind of two era history, condo core plus a new build villa and townhome finish, that a locally connected team pays off explaining to a buyer or a seller, and it is part of why being Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 matters on a Genova transaction.
Genova's condominiums occupy four story mid rise buildings, not the three story structures some third party listing sites still describe. That four story fact is confirmed two ways: sold units carry fourth floor unit numbers (for example unit A409, C409, and B407 are all fourth floor homes), and the Southwest Florida MLS classifies the product as mid rise (four to seven stories). Residences sit above private two car garages on the ground level (the roll shows only 4 first floor units), with living space on the floors above, so a Genova condo lives much more like a single family home than a typical stacked mid rise.
Four condo buildings were built and are identified by a letter prefix on each unit number. The Lee County Property Appraiser roll (October 11, 2026 parcel file) gives the count building by building:
Building | Address | Condominium | Year built (roll) | Units | Units by floor (1 / 2 / 3 / 4) | Three bedroom / two bedroom |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
A | 21450 Strada Nuova Circle | Genova One | 2018 | 36 | 2 / 12 / 12 / 10 | 28 / 8 |
B | 21460 Strada Nuova Circle | Genova One | 2018 | 34 | 0 / 12 / 12 / 10 | 26 / 8 |
C | 21530 Strada Nuova Circle | Genova Two | 2019 | 33 | 2 / 11 / 11 / 9 | 25 / 8 |
D | 21490 Strada Nuova Circle | Genova Two | 2020 | 28 | 0 / 10 / 10 / 8 | 20 / 8 |
Total | 131 | 4 / 45 / 45 / 37 | 99 / 32 |
Genova One is recorded at Lee County instrument 2018000109380 and Genova Two at instrument 2019000145138; the master common elements, including the 7,519 square foot club building at 21471 Strada Nuova Circle, are at instrument 2018000108147. Roll heated area runs 1,312 to 2,191 square feet, and the most common size is 1,630 square feet (31 units). The 16 largest residences, at 2,191 square feet on the roll, are the plans the MLS reports at 2,206 square feet. The roll's bedroom count differs from the marketing plan list below because a den is often recorded as a bedroom.
The developer marketed six condominium floor plans, all with private two car garages behind an 18 foot garage door:
Across those plans, homes run from two to four bedrooms and roughly 1,324 to 2,206 square feet under air, with the largest plans genuinely competitive with a small single family home.

Genova is not a single master condominium association. Its corporate structure, verified on the Florida Division of Corporations registry, runs through three entities: The Club at Genova, Inc. (the amenity and club entity, filed in 2016, ahead of the condos), Genova One Association, Inc. (the first condominium association, filed 2018), and Genova Two Association, Inc. (the second condominium association, filed 2018). The community is managed by FirstService Residential, a national management company, and there is no Community Development District (CDD), so there is no separate non ad valorem CDD assessment on the Lee County tax bill the way there is in many newer Corkscrew Road communities.
The three entity structure is coordinated through shared board members: the same individuals who lead the two condominium associations also sit on the board of The Club at Genova, which owns and operates the shared amenity campus. This is the mechanism through which one club, two condominiums, and a shared budget stay aligned. Common areas are owned by the homeowners through the associations, and the amenity campus is delivered through the Club rather than through a separate equity club membership.
On fees, we are deliberately careful. No monthly or quarterly assessment dollar figure is available from an approved, non aggregator source, and the association budgets are member restricted, so we do not publish a specific dollar HOA figure here; any number you see on a listing sheet should be confirmed against the current association budget before you rely on it. What the developer's own community materials do confirm is that there is no equity fee and no annual club fee to use the amenities, and that Genova is marketed as an everything included community, with the amenity campus usable at no additional charge by residents. Insurance is handled association first, with the master property policy funded through the condominium fee rather than billed separately to each owner, and each owner still carries an individual HO-6 policy for the interior of the unit.
On rentals, the developer's official FAQ is specific: the minimum lease term is two months, an owner may lease no more than three times per year, and a lease written for less than two months is deemed a two month lease with the unit required to sit unoccupied for the remainder. There is a $100 processing fee, a security and background check cost, and a refundable association security deposit equal to one month's rent. Pets are allowed, but the exact number, weight, and breed limits live in the recorded Declaration and are member restricted, so we do not publish specific pet limits; confirm them directly with the association before you rely on them. Because Genova's buildings are four stories (three or more habitable stories), Florida's Structural Integrity Reserve Study (SIRS) requirement applies to each condominium, and the state milestone inspection is due 30 years after the certificate of occupancy, which for buildings completed 2018 to 2020 points to roughly 2048 to 2050, a genuine selling point for a community this young. Want the current fee and reserve picture on a specific unit? Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
Genova's amenity campus is anchored by something genuinely rare for a Southwest Florida condominium community: an indoor 25 meter lap pool. The developer markets it for year round lap swimming, water volleyball, and aqua fitness, and an indoor, climate controlled lap pool of this size is uncommon in this market, which makes it the single strongest amenity story on the page. It is the feature that consistently sets Genova apart from other Estero condo communities in a buyer's mind.
Around that headline amenity, the Club at Genova offers a full resort lifestyle. Outdoors, there is a beach entry (zero edge) resort pool that overlooks the central lake, with a lakeside sundeck positioned for all day sun and sunsets. Indoors, the club includes a fitness center staffed with a full time trainer and equipped with cross trainers, treadmills, bikes, and a full strength program, plus an aerobics and dance studio programmed with floor exercise classes, Zumba, and dance. The men's and ladies' locker rooms include showers, saunas, and massage rooms. The members clubhouse features a spacious clubroom with a bar and a professional catering kitchen designed for community events and private parties for up to 120 people, and the community keeps an on staff activities and lifestyle director who curates a calendar of resident clubs and events.
For outdoor recreation, Genova has clay tournament bocce courts with seating and shade trellises. Note what Genova deliberately does not have: there is no golf course, no tennis, and no marina, by design (the developer excluded tennis and golf, citing declining participation). There is no confirmed on site pickleball; we do not claim pickleball courts inside Genova because no primary source confirms them, though the adjacent Estero Community Park offers extensive public recreation. Genova's stealth security design integrates a 24/7 manned gatehouse with landscaping that hides the fencing, and the club holds two private pedestrian gates that open directly into the roughly 48 to 75 acre Estero Community Park next door, so residents can walk or bike straight into the park's fields, courts, trails, and dog park without driving.

Genova runs on a manned, 24/7 gated entry, a two month minimum rental policy, and a professionally staffed club, with several service line items that we flag honestly as unconfirmed rather than state as fact. Day to day, residents carry chip cards for gate access, while everyone else presents a valid driver's license and passes an instant security check at the manned gatehouse. The Village of Estero, Lee County, ZIP 33928 location means this is an incorporated village address, not Naples and not Bonita Springs, and it is not in a CDD.
Gate and guest access. Genova's main entry is manned around the clock, unusual even among gated Estero communities, and the design intentionally hides the gates and fencing in landscaping for a non walled look the developer calls stealth security. Family members related by blood, marriage, or adoption may stay up to 15 days while the owner is away, subject to a completed HOA application and background check submitted 20 days in advance, a $40 application processing fee, and a security check cost. Family may stay as long as they like when the owner is in residence. Loaning the home to a friend is treated as the equivalent of a two month rental.
Rentals. Leasing is permitted but structured to prevent transient rentals: a two month minimum, no more than three leases per year, a $100 processing fee, a security check cost, and a refundable one month rent security deposit. Short term and vacation rentals are not permitted under this structure.
Trash, package, mail, EV charging, and storage. These specific services are not documented on the official Genova site or any approved source, so we do not state them as fact. Some listing aggregators assert that trash and bulk cable or internet are included in fees; those are plausible for this condo product but were not confirmed from a primary source, so a buyer should verify the exact fee inclusions and any bulk internet or cable arrangement against the recorded Declaration or the association budget before relying on them. EV charging and separate unit storage were likewise not confirmed and should be verified directly with the association.
Management. Genova is managed by FirstService Residential, with on site staff (a general manager, activities director, fitness director, and maintenance manager) reporting to the residents' board. For anything association related, that management company is the right first call, and it is worth confirming current lease terms and fee inclusions with them directly before a purchase decision.
Genova's storm story is fundamentally an inland one, and that geography is the most important thing a buyer or seller can understand about it. The community sits roughly 5 to 6 miles east of the Gulf, east of US 41, at about 15 feet of elevation, so it is not a barrier island or coastal surge location. FEMA's effective flood map for the site is FIRM panel 12071C0591H, effective November 17, 2022. When we queried FEMA's live National Flood Hazard Layer at two points on Strada Nuova Circle on October 17, 2026, both returned Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area for shallow flooding, usually ponding of 1 to 3 feet, with a set base flood elevation. Earlier reviews of the panel also show Zone AE and Zone X on parts of the roughly 17 acre site. There is no coastal V or VE (high velocity wave) zone anywhere on or adjacent to the site; the flood hazard here is shallow, rainfall and stormwater ponding driven, consistent with the inland location.
The practical takeaway is honest and specific. Whether a given Genova building or unit sits in a Special Flood Hazard Area (AH or AE) or in Zone X depends on which part of the site it is on. Where a unit is in the SFHA, a lender on a federally backed mortgage can still require flood insurance, even though the developer's older marketing described the residences as built at the 100 year storm level. Building level flood coverage is generally carried at the association or master policy level rather than by each owner individually. We do not repeat the "no flood insurance needed" claim as a fact; the accurate framing is that the buildings are elevated to or above the base flood elevation, building flood coverage is generally an association matter, and each specific unit's flood zone should be verified parcel by parcel on the FEMA map or the Village of Estero flood portal. The Village of Estero participates in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 6, which earns roughly a 20 percent flood insurance discount for policies in the SFHA.
On construction and wind, the story is a strength. Genova's buildings were constructed from 2018 to 2020 under the modern Florida Building Code adopting ASCE 7-16 wind loads, and all of Lee County including Estero is within the Wind Borne Debris Region, which required these buildings to protect their glazed openings with impact rated glazing or approved shutters. The developer's site describes concrete block construction with poured concrete floors between levels. No government or news source documents storm surge or significant structural damage at Genova from Hurricane Ian in 2022 or Hurricane Milton in 2024; both storms concentrated their destruction on the barrier islands and immediate coast, and Genova's inland, elevated position, in Lee County Evacuation Zone C (surge zone 3) rather than the coastal Zones A and B, is the reason. We state that as the geography that made catastrophic surge impossible at this location plus the fact that no damage reports were found, not as a certified damage assessment. A newer 2018 to 2020 concrete building in an inland Zone C location is a relatively favorable risk within a Southwest Florida condo insurance market that hardened after Ian, though no community is immune from premium pressure.
Flood zone and evacuation zone are separate maps. Lee County's emergency management layer places Genova in Evacuation Zone C (storm surge zone 3). Zones A and B are called first in a surge event, so Genova is usually not in the first evacuation order, but owners should still leave when Zone C is called. For comparison, Fountain Lakes, west of US-41, is in Zone A.
Genova's buildings have four habitable stories, so both of Florida's post-Surfside condominium safety laws apply. A structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) is required for condominium buildings three stories or taller, and associations that existed on or before July 1, 2022 had to complete one by December 31, 2025. The milestone structural inspection under Florida Statutes 553.899 is due 30 years after the certificate of occupancy, which points to about 2048 to 2050 for buildings completed 2018 to 2020. Ask for each association's SIRS summary and reserve schedule as part of the resale disclosure; Genova One covers Buildings A and B and Genova Two covers Buildings C and D.
Genova's roofs date from the 2018 to 2020 construction unless an association has replaced them. Under Florida Statutes 627.7011, an insurer must allow an inspection of a roof 15 or more years old and may not refuse a homeowner's policy for roof age alone when the inspection shows at least five years of life left. Florida Statutes 627.0629 requires insurers to offer credits for wind mitigation features, which matters most to the association's master policy for a condominium.
Genova is served by the School District of Lee County, which assigns schools by proximity zones and parent ranking rather than fixed attendance lines. Estero High School is about 0.6 miles from Strada Nuova Circle in a straight line, one of the shortest school distances of any Estero community.
Level | Zone in the district plan | Schools listed in that zone | Straight-line miles from Genova |
|---|---|---|---|
Elementary | Proximity Zone Q | Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos Park, Spring Creek, Three Oaks | Pinewoods 2.9 |
Middle | Proximity Zone GG | Bonita Springs Middle, Three Oaks Middle | Three Oaks Middle 3.0 |
High | South Zone, sub-zones 2 and 3 | Sub-zone 2: Bonita Springs, Cypress Lake, Dunbar, Estero, Fort Myers, South Fort Myers. Sub-zone 3: Bonita Springs, Estero, South Fort Myers | Estero High 0.6 |

Parents rank the schools in the proximity zone tied to their address, and a lottery runs when applications exceed seats, with preferences for programs, siblings and distance. Students within two miles of a school get no district bus to it, which applies to Estero High from Genova. Registration for the next year opens the first Monday in November; cross-zone and hardship waivers are due by July 31. Lee County earned an overall "B" for 2025 to 2026, with 33 schools rated "A", 29 rated "B" and 35 rated "C" and no D or F schools, per the Florida Department of Education's 2025-26 results packet. Confirm current options for the exact address through the district's school zones page.
For private education, the nearest well known college preparatory options are Canterbury School in Fort Myers (an independent, co educational PreK-12 day school, roughly 20 to 25 minutes north) and Royal Palm Academy in North Naples (a private Catholic PK-8 school, roughly 15 to 20 minutes south). Within Estero itself, private options are largely early childhood and VPK programs, and the Florida Department of Education private school directory lists the full regional set.
Healthcare is a genuine differentiator for Genova, because a full outpatient medical campus with a 24/7 emergency room sits on Genova's own corridor. Lee Health Coconut Point, at 23450 Via Coconut Point in Estero, is a 163,500 square foot outpatient campus that opened December 3, 2018, and it is only a few minutes from the community on the same Via Coconut Point that Genova sits along. That kind of adjacency to emergency and outpatient care is unusually strong for a condominium community and worth weighing heavily if healthcare access is a priority.
The campus centers on a freestanding emergency department open 24 hours a day, year round, with 25 examination, observation, and recovery rooms, and it houses imaging and radiology, outpatient surgery, gastroenterology, orthopedics, primary care including pediatric primary care, OB/GYN and women's care, cardiovascular services, lab services, rehabilitation, and an on site pharmacy. For walk in, minor illness care, Lee Convenient Care at the Bonita Health Center is described by Lee Health as right next door to Lee Health Coconut Point, with no appointment needed. For full hospital services, Gulf Coast Medical Center in Fort Myers, the largest hospital in the Lee Health system at 699 beds with a Level II Trauma Center, is the nearest full service acute care hospital, roughly 20 to 25 minutes north, with NCH hospitals in Naples the nearest option to the south. Retail pharmacy is also immediately available at the adjacent Coconut Point Super Target.
Genova's position off Via Coconut Point, just south of Corkscrew Road near US 41 and Interstate 75 Exit 123, makes it one of the more centrally located spots in Southwest Florida, roughly midway between Naples and Fort Myers. We describe drive times as ranges and anchor the ones that are firmly sourced rather than represent precise odometer figures.
The firmly sourced anchors: Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 15 minutes away (roughly 11 miles), and the Coconut Point town center, an open air Simon shopping and dining destination with well over 100 stores anchored by Super Target, Nordstrom Rack, and Dillard's, is about 1.8 miles away in a straight line, a short drive or bike ride along the pedestrian friendly Via Coconut Point corridor. Florida Gulf Coast University sits on the northeast border of Estero, roughly 10 to 15 minutes north.
Approximate, geography based estimates for the trips buyers ask about most: Miromar Outlets and the adjacent Hertz Arena (home of the Florida Everblades hockey team) are about 2 miles away near I-75 (1.7 to 1.8 miles in a straight line); the Gulf beaches at Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach are roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive west; downtown Naples and downtown Fort Myers are each roughly 25 to 30 minutes away in opposite directions; and Gulf Coast Medical Center is about 20 to 25 minutes north. Everyday grocery is easy, with a Super Target at Coconut Point and multiple Publix stores in the immediate Estero cluster.

Measured from OpenStreetMap coordinates on October 17, 2026; driving distances are longer. Estero Community Park is next door, but the route crosses busy roads, so treat it as next door rather than a stroll.
The single most Genova relevant project in the pipeline is being built directly across the street. The Village of Estero's own meeting record describes a mixed use development on Via Coconut Point "across from Genova," now branded Lumio Estero: a roughly 20 acre, 330 unit luxury community at 21650 Via Coconut Point by Atlantic Residential and Riverside Investment and Development, which broke ground in December 2025 with leasing expected to begin in late 2026. Crucially for Genova, the approved development order included a one acre public park being donated to the Village, plus a dog park, a pocket park, a fishing pier, and a meandering multi use path, alongside the new rental units and commercial and retail space. That is a real walkability and amenity upside directly across Via Coconut Point, balanced against added density and traffic.
Beyond Lumio, the corridor is investing heavily. Lee County's Corkscrew Road Widening Phase 2, a roughly $27 million project building four lanes from Bella Terra Boulevard to just east of Alico Road with bike lanes and a shared use path, is targeted for completion around the end of 2026, and the Village's separate Corkscrew Road shared use path project is adding 10 foot pathways along the corridor. Estero Community Park next door has opened a new northern playground with a zipline and climbing features, and the Village is developing an Estero Sports Park and a High 5 entertainment district (pickleball, bowling, mini golf, and more) off nearby Williams Road; its opening is reported differently by the Village (soft openings, then a grand opening in late February or early March) and Engage Estero (November 2026). Larger nearby residential and mixed use projects underway include Woodfield Estero (596 dwelling units plus a hotel and retail at US 41 and Coconut Road) and Coconut Pointe Residences at Brooks Town Center (a 154 unit building about 1.5 to 2 miles away). For sellers, this concentration of infrastructure and amenity investment is a genuine value story worth telling buyers.

Item | Where relative to Genova | Scope | Status as reported |
|---|---|---|---|
Genova final phase | inside Genova, northern 3.6 acres | 20 villas and 11 townhomes | approved January 14, 2025; Engage Estero (July 2026) lists it as shelved with the land for sale |
Via Coconut multifamily | west side of Via Coconut Point, across from Genova | about 20 acres, 330 units, 29,600 sq ft of commercial space, a church and a one-acre public park | Phase 1 underway, completion targeted for the end of 2026 (Engage Estero) |
Estero SportsPark | east and north across Via Coconut Point | about 100 acres of fields and stormwater, Village owned and leased land | Phase 1 by Suffolk Construction scheduled for October 2026 |
High 5 Entertainment | north side of Williams Road | two floor entertainment center with bowling, miniature golf, arcade and indoor pickleball | soft openings, then a grand opening in late February or early March (Village Council, June 17, 2026); Engage Estero lists November 2026 |
Estero RiverPark | US-41 at Corkscrew Road | 62.5 acres on the Estero River | Phase 1 open; Phase 2 paths contract of $244,075 approved September 9, 2026 |
Eco-Historic Planning Study | US-41 corridor, Koreshan and the Estero River | about 1,000 acres, a 20-year framework | accepted June 17, 2026 |
Bonita Estero Rail Trail | former rail corridor, about 14.9 miles | $82 million purchase agreement | approved March 4, 2026; construction from 2027 |
Engage Estero names the developer of the Via Coconut project as JLL, while earlier reports used the Lumio Estero brand with Atlantic Residential and Riverside; the scope (330 units and the public park) matches across sources. Village finances for context: the tentative FY 2026 to 2027 millage is 0.7300 mills on a $72,973,080 tentative budget (September 9, 2026).
Genova sits within a cluster of Estero and Coconut Point area communities, and buyers weighing it against alternatives usually compare it to other condominium and attached product in the same corridor rather than to the single family golf communities farther east. None of the communities below, including Genova, offers Genova's specific headline feature, an indoor 25 meter lap pool, which is a large part of what makes Genova distinctive. We compare on structure and lifestyle, not on realtor marketing claims, and we do not link competitor listing sites.
Rapallo at Coconut Point is a larger community (roughly 540 homes) by the same developer family behind Genova, with condominiums, coach homes, and carriage homes wrapped around a lakes system, a freshwater lagoon style beach, and a fishing pier. It is a bigger, more resort scaled community than Genova's tighter luxury condo enclave, and it appeals to buyers who want more of a campus and less of a boutique building count.
The Residences at Coconut Point offer condominium living even closer to the Coconut Point retail core, appealing to buyers who prioritize being able to walk to shopping and dining above having a resort amenity campus of their own. It is a different trade off from Genova's private club and indoor lap pool model.
Belle Lago and Bella Terra are established gated communities in the broader Estero area that lean single family rather than condominium, so they suit buyers who want a detached home and a yard and are willing to take on the corresponding maintenance and, in Bella Terra's case, a different fee and amenity structure. Compared with Genova, the trade is more house and land versus Genova's lock and leave, single family sized condo living.
For a buyer, the honest way to compare is on three axes specific to Genova: the rarity of the indoor lap pool and the private two car garage per unit, the two month rental minimum that shapes investor appeal, and the three association plus FirstService Residential governance with no CDD. For a side by side on current pricing, inventory, and days on market across these communities, request a comparative market analysis. As of October 21, 2026, Genova had 3 active listings from $349,900 to $569,000, against 12 closings in the prior 12 months at a $390,000 median (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).
Genova suits buyers who want a newer, boutique condominium enclave with an indoor lap pool, while Rapallo suits buyers who want a larger 540 residence campus with more home types and a Sports Club. Both are gated Estero communities with no CDD.
Decision point | Genova | Rapallo |
|---|---|---|
Home types | Four story condominium buildings, plus a final phase of about 20 single family villas and 11 townhomes | Four attached product types: terrace condos, coach homes, carriage homes, and courtyard villas |
Home count | 131 condominiums in four buildings (Lee County roll); 162 if the approved 31 home final phase is built | 540 residences on about 114 acres |
Era built | 2018 to 2020 (roll); final phase approved January 2025 | 2005 to 2007 build window |
Developer or builder | Genova Partners, LLC under the Wallace family brand; final phase by CC Homes with Barron Collier Companies | Touchstone at Rapallo, Inc. (the Wallace Homes trade name) |
Price level | Median sold price $390,000 (12 sales, 12 months to October 21, 2026) | Median sold price $400,000 (33 sales, 12 months to October 21, 2026) |
HOA or association fees | Dollar figure not published on our page; no equity fee and no annual club fee | Quarterly, approximately $2,543 to $2,663 per quarter (May 2026) |
Golf or club model | No golf; The Club at Genova amenity campus with an indoor 25 meter lap pool, no equity fee | No on-site golf; The Club at Rapallo membership included with every residence, no equity buy-in |
CDD | No CDD | No CDD |
Gated or not | Gated, 24/7 manned entry plus pedestrian gates | Gated, with five resident-only pedestrian gates |
Flood zone | Zone AH at both points checked October 17, 2026 (FIRM panel 12071C0591H); AE and X on parts of the site; Evacuation Zone C | Most of the community in Zone X, with Zone AE (EL 11) along the Estero River corridor at Via Rapallo Drive; verify parcel by parcel |
Who should choose which: Genova fits a buyer who wants a 2018 to 2020 concrete building, a private two car garage with each residence, and a smaller community, and its fee should be confirmed against the current association budget because we do not publish a dollar figure. Rapallo fits a buyer who wants a choice among terrace condos, coach homes, carriage homes, and courtyard villas, five pedestrian gates into Coconut Point, and a larger club campus, and its quarterly fee runs about $2,543 to $2,663 as of May 2026 per our Rapallo page.
Genova offers rare indoor and outdoor resort amenities, single family sized condos with private two car garages, modern 2018 to 2020 concrete construction, and an unbeatable location next to shopping, dining, and a full medical campus, balanced against a two month rental minimum, a split resale market, and a flood map that includes Special Flood Hazard Area portions. Here is the honest breakdown, without the sales gloss.
Pros
Cons
Weighing these honestly against the community's current inventory, 3 active listings from $349,900 to $569,000 as of October 21, 2026, is exactly the kind of local, unbiased read Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar give buyers before they write an offer here.

Yes. Genova regularly has resale condos on the market. On October 21, 2026 there were 3 active listings, from $349,900 to $569,000 with a median list price of $394,900, and 2 more under contract (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). That is about 3.0 months of supply at the past year's pace. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 for what is available today.
In the 12 months to October 21, 2026, Genova condos sold from $325,000 to $764,000 at a $390,000 median, and active listings ran $349,900 to $569,000 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). The market splits between smaller plans in the $300,000s and the 2,206 square foot plans at $495,000 to $764,000.
Sold price per square foot in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 ran a median of about $231 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026), down from $298 over 60 months. On the county record, the median per heated square foot was $328 in 2022 and $230 in 2026 to date. Price per square foot varies by floor plan, floor and view.
The average Genova sale in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 was $460,804, against a median of $390,000 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). The average sits above the median because four large plan sales from $495,000 to $764,000 pull it up.
The four condominium buildings were completed from 2018 to 2020. A final phase of 20 single family villas and 11 townhomes was approved by the Village of Estero on January 14, 2025 and marketed by CC Homes with Barron Collier Companies, but Engage Estero's July 2026 development summary lists it as shelved with the land for sale. Confirm current status directly; call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
Not yet. The Village of Estero approved a final phase of 20 single family villas and 11 two story townhomes on the last undeveloped parcel in January 2025, but Engage Estero's July 2026 development summary lists that phase as shelved with the land for sale, so today every Genova home is a condominium. If built, the villas and townhomes would be a newer, low rise product distinct from the original condominiums.
Genova is on Strada Nuova Circle, off Via Coconut Point, near Corkscrew Road and US 41 in Estero, Lee County, FL 33928. It is about 1.8 miles in a straight line from Coconut Point town center and sits on the same corridor as the Lee Health Coconut Point medical campus, roughly 15 minutes from RSW airport.
Yes. Genova has a 24/7 manned gated entry plus pedestrian gates, with a stealth security design that hides fencing in landscaping. Residents use chip cards, and all other visitors present a valid driver's license and pass an instant security check at the gatehouse.
Genova is primarily a luxury condominium community of four story mid rise buildings, with an approved final phase of 20 single family villas and 11 townhomes that one 2026 source lists as shelved. The core product, and the bulk of resale inventory, is the condominium.
Genova was developed by Genova Partners, LLC (an active Florida entity, document L15000021020) under the Wallace family development brand led by Jim Wallace, who also developed Rapallo at Coconut Point and Lighthouse Bay at The Brooks. The approved final villa and townhome phase was marketed by CC Homes in partnership with Barron Collier Companies; Engage Estero's July 2026 summary lists it as shelved.
The Lee County Property Appraiser roll shows Buildings A and B (Genova One) built in 2018, Building C in 2019 and Building D in 2020, and builder sales ran from 2018 into 2021 (66 builder closings in 2019 alone). The final villa and townhome phase was approved in January 2025.
The Lee County roll counts 131 condominium residences: 36 in Building A, 34 in Building B, 33 in Building C and 28 in Building D. The early master plan called for six buildings and about 200 residences, but only four were built. If the approved 31 home villa and townhome phase is built, Genova would total 162 homes, the figure Gulfshore Business reported.
Four condominium buildings were built: A at 21450, B at 21460, C at 21530 and D at 21490 Strada Nuova Circle. They are four story mid rise buildings, with residences on floors one through four on the county roll (most on floors two to four above the garages), not the three story structures some listing sites still describe.
No approved source indicates Genova is age restricted or a 55+ community; it is marketed as an all ages luxury community, and many residents are full time owners and downsizers. Any buyer for whom this is decisive should confirm against the recorded governing documents.
Genova's ZIP code is 33928, in the Village of Estero, Lee County, Florida.
Genova is in Lee County, within the incorporated Village of Estero. It is not in Collier County, not in Naples, and not in Bonita Springs, even though it is close to the Bonita Springs and Naples areas.
The developer marketed six condominium floor plans: Gambaro (2 bed, about 1,324 square feet), Spinola (2 bed, about 1,476), Bianco (3 bed, about 1,622), Campanella (3 bed, about 1,748), Doria (3 bed, about 1,818), and Tursi (4 bed, 3 bath, about 2,206, the largest). All include a private two car garage.
Genova condos run from about 1,312 square feet of heated area on the county roll (1,324 in the smallest Gambaro plan as marketed) up to 2,191 square feet on the roll, which the MLS reports as 2,206 square feet for the largest Tursi plan. The most common size on the roll is 1,630 square feet (31 units).
Genova condos are marketed with private outdoor living space in addition to the indoor living area, consistent with the Italianate courtyard design. Confirm the specific lanai or terrace configuration for any unit you are considering during a walkthrough.
Genova condos come in two, three and four bedroom configurations across six floor plans. The county roll records 99 three bedroom and 32 two bedroom units (8 two bedroom units per building), because a den is often recorded as a bedroom.
Yes. Genova condominium residences come with a private two car garage on the ground level, behind an 18 foot garage door, with living space on the floors above (the roll shows only 4 first floor units). This private garage per unit is a defining differentiator versus typical mid rise condos with shared parking decks.
Genova's residences each have a private two car garage, and the community is a manned gated community, but a specific guest parking policy was not documented from an approved source. Confirm visitor parking arrangements with the association before relying on them.
Yes. The developer's site describes Genova's buildings as concrete block construction with poured concrete floors between levels, built from 2018 to 2020 under the modern Florida Building Code. All of Lee County is in the Wind Borne Debris Region, which required impact protected openings on these buildings.
Yes. Genova's headline amenity is an indoor 25 meter lap pool, marketed for year round lap swimming, water volleyball, and aqua fitness. An indoor, climate controlled lap pool of this size is genuinely rare for a Southwest Florida condominium community.
Yes. In addition to the indoor lap pool, Genova has an outdoor beach entry (zero edge) resort pool that overlooks the community's central lake, with a lakeside sundeck. A separate standalone outdoor spa or hot tub is not confirmed on the official site, so we do not claim one.
Genova offers an indoor 25 meter lap pool, an outdoor beach entry resort pool with a lakeside sundeck, a staffed fitness center, an aerobics and dance studio, locker room saunas and massage rooms, a members clubhouse with a catering kitchen for events up to 120, clay bocce courts, a 24/7 manned gatehouse, and two private pedestrian gates into the adjacent Estero Community Park.
Yes. Genova has a fitness center staffed with a full time trainer and equipped with cross trainers, treadmills, bikes, and a full strength program, plus an aerobics and dance studio programmed with floor exercise classes, Zumba, and dance, and locker rooms with saunas and massage.
Yes. Genova's members clubhouse includes a spacious clubroom with a bar and a professional catering kitchen designed for community events and private parties for up to 120 people, and the community keeps an on staff activities and lifestyle director.
Genova has clay tournament bocce courts, but it deliberately does not have tennis (the developer excluded it), and there is no confirmed on site pickleball. The adjacent Estero Community Park offers extensive public courts and recreation, reachable through Genova's private pedestrian gates.
Genova has saunas and massage rooms located in the men's and ladies' locker rooms. A separate standalone outdoor spa or hot tub is not confirmed by an approved source, so we do not state one as fact.
There is no confirmed on site dog park inside Genova, but the adjacent Estero Community Park has a K-9 Corral off leash dog park reachable through Genova's private pedestrian gates, and the new Lumio Estero development across Via Coconut Point is adding another dog park.
Yes. Genova has two private pedestrian gates that open directly into the adjacent Estero Community Park, so residents can walk or bike straight into the park's fields, courts, trails, disc golf, and dog park without driving.
No monthly or quarterly assessment dollar figure is available from an approved, non aggregator source, and association budgets are member restricted, so we do not publish a specific fee here. Any figure on a listing sheet should be confirmed against the current association budget. What is confirmed is that there is no equity fee and no annual club fee to use the amenities.
Genova is marketed as an everything included community, with amenity access at no additional charge and insurance handled at the association level. Typical inclusions for this condo product cover exterior building maintenance, landscaping, water and sewer, trash, security, and the master insurance policy, but the exact line items should be confirmed against the recorded Declaration budget before you rely on them.
Bulk cable and internet are commonly assumed to be included for this condo product, but the official Genova site does not enumerate the utility line items, and the only sources listing them are aggregators we do not cite. Treat bulk cable and internet as plausible but unconfirmed, and verify against the association budget or bulk services contract.
Genova runs through three entities: The Club at Genova, Inc. (the amenity and club entity, filed 2016), Genova One Association, Inc. (2018), and Genova Two Association, Inc. (2018), all coordinated through shared board members and managed by FirstService Residential. There is no separate registered master community association and no CDD.
An association application and approval process applies to purchases in a community like Genova, and Florida associations commonly charge an application or transfer fee, but the exact Genova figures were not confirmed from an approved source. Confirm the current application, transfer, and estoppel fees with FirstService Residential before closing.
Because Genova's buildings are four stories, both condominiums (Genova One and Genova Two) are subject to Florida's structural integrity reserve study requirement, and associations existing on or before July 1, 2022 had to complete a SIRS by December 31, 2025. The reports are not posted publicly, so request the current SIRS summary and budget through the association during due diligence.
No special assessment history was documented from an approved source, and we do not assert either that there are or are not special assessments. Special assessment and reserve information is board and budget data that a buyer should request directly from the association during due diligence.
Pets are allowed at Genova, but the exact number, weight, and breed limits live in the recorded Declaration and Rules, which are member restricted, so we do not publish specific pet limits. Confirm the current pet rules directly with the association before relying on them.
Yes, with restrictions designed to prevent transient rentals: a two month minimum lease term, no more than three leases per year, and a lease under two months is deemed a two month lease with the unit required to sit unoccupied for the remainder. Short term and vacation rentals are not permitted.
The developer's FAQ lists a $100 processing fee, a security and background check cost (roughly $50 domestic or $100 international), and a refundable association security deposit equal to one month's rent. Confirm current amounts with the association, since the binding terms live in the recorded documents.
Genova can work as a longer term rental within its two month minimum and three lease per year limits, but it is not suited to a short term or vacation rental strategy. Buyers evaluating Genova as an investment should underwrite it against those rental restrictions rather than a nightly or weekly rental model.
A condominium of this type governs unit and limited common element alterations through the Declaration and a board or architectural review process, but the specific Genova alteration procedure was not documented from an approved source. Confirm the current alteration and architectural review rules with the association before planning renovations.
Genova is positioned as low maintenance luxury condo living, and a large share of buyers are full time residents, with many downsizing from larger local golf and single family communities. Its rare indoor lap pool, single family sized condos, and location next to shopping, dining, and a medical campus make it a strong fit for buyers who want lock and leave living without sacrificing amenities.
Genova is about 1.8 miles from Coconut Point in a straight line, a short drive or bike ride along the Via Coconut Point corridor. Coconut Point is an open air Simon shopping and dining destination anchored by Super Target, Nordstrom Rack, and Dillard's, with well over 100 stores.
Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) is about 15 minutes from Genova, roughly 11 miles, via the Coconut Point corridor and I-75 Exit 123. That makes Genova one of the more convenient Estero communities for frequent travelers and seasonal residents.
The Gulf beaches at Bonita Beach and Barefoot Beach are roughly a 20 to 25 minute drive west of Genova. We describe this as an approximate range rather than a precise figure, since it varies with season and traffic.
Very close. Lee Health Coconut Point, a 163,500 square foot outpatient campus with a 24/7 freestanding emergency department and an on site pharmacy, is on the same Via Coconut Point corridor as Genova, only a few minutes away. That adjacency to emergency and outpatient care is unusually strong for a condominium community.
Coconut Point (about 1.8 miles away in a straight line) offers well over 100 stores plus restaurants like The Cheesecake Factory, Ruth's Chris Steak House, and Ted's Montana Grill, and Miromar Outlets and Hertz Arena are about 2 miles away near I-75. Everyday grocery is covered by a Super Target at Coconut Point and multiple Publix stores nearby.
Genova is marketed as bikeable to Coconut Point, which is about 1.8 miles away in a straight line along the Via Coconut Point corridor, and the corridor's shared use path improvements are expanding that connectivity. For most residents it is a short bike ride or a very short drive.
Lee County assigns schools by proximity zone. In the 2026 to 2027 plan, Genova's area falls in Elementary Zone Q (Bonita Springs, Pinewoods, San Carlos Park, Spring Creek, Three Oaks), Middle Zone GG (Bonita Springs, Three Oaks) and the South high school zone, which includes Estero High, about 0.6 miles away. Parents rank schools in the zone and a lottery fills seats when a school is full.
At both points we checked on Strada Nuova Circle on October 17, 2026, FEMA's live flood map returned Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area for shallow ponding with a set base flood elevation, on FIRM panel 12071C0591H (effective November 17, 2022). Parts of the site have also been mapped AE and X, and there is no coastal V zone. Lee County places Genova in Evacuation Zone C.
No government or news source documents storm surge or significant structural damage at Genova from Hurricane Ian in 2022 or Hurricane Milton in 2024. Both storms concentrated their destruction on the barrier islands and coast, and Genova's inland, elevated position east of US 41, in Lee County Evacuation Zone C (surge zone 3) rather than the coastal Zones A and B, is why. This is an absence of documented damage rather than a certified damage assessment.
Genova's buildings were constructed from 2018 to 2020 in Lee County's Wind Borne Debris Region, which required new construction to protect all glazed openings with impact rated glazing or approved shutters. The developer describes concrete block and poured concrete construction. Specific window ratings on any unit should be confirmed on the individual listing or inspection.
Florida condos carry two layers: the association's master policy covers the building structure and common areas at replacement cost, and each owner carries an individual HO-6 policy for interior finishes, personal property, loss assessment, and liability. At Genova the master property coverage is funded through the condo fee, and owners still need their own HO-6.
Yes, in the sense that the milestone inspection law applies to condominium buildings of three or more habitable stories, which Genova's four story buildings are. However, the milestone inspection is due 30 years after the certificate of occupancy, so for buildings completed 2018 to 2020 it points to about 2048 to 2050, well in the future, while the SIRS requirement applies now.
They are different products by the same developer family. Genova is a tighter luxury condo enclave whose signature is a rare indoor 25 meter lap pool and single family sized condos with private garages, while Rapallo is a much larger (roughly 540 home) community with condos, coach, and carriage homes, a lakes system, a freshwater beach, and a fishing pier. The right choice depends on whether you want a boutique enclave or a larger resort scaled campus.
The Residences at Coconut Point put you even closer to the Coconut Point retail core, appealing to buyers who prioritize walking to shopping and dining, while Genova offers its own private resort amenity campus, including the indoor lap pool, and a gated, lower density setting. It is a walk to retail versus private club trade off.
Belle Lago and Bella Terra lean single family, so they suit buyers who want a detached home and a yard, while Genova offers lock and leave, single family sized condo living with a bundled amenity campus and no CDD. The trade is more house and land versus lower maintenance and rare amenities.
Near Coconut Point, the main condominium and attached product communities buyers compare with Genova include Rapallo at Coconut Point and The Residences at Coconut Point, with single family alternatives like Belle Lago and Bella Terra in the broader area. Genova's distinguishing features are its indoor lap pool and its private two car garage per unit.
The first letter of the unit number is the building. Building A is 21450 Strada Nuova Circle and Building B is 21460, both part of Genova One. Building C is 21530 and Building D is 21490, both part of Genova Two. The second character is the floor, so A409 is a fourth floor home in Building A.
On the Lee County roll, Buildings A and B were built in 2018, Building C in 2019 and Building D in 2020. Building D is also the smallest, with 28 residences.
The county roll's most common heated area is 1,630 square feet (31 units), followed by 1,714 and 1,797 square feet (18 units each) and 2,191 square feet (16 units, the largest plan).
A federally backed mortgage on a unit in a building inside a Special Flood Hazard Area requires flood coverage. FEMA returned Zone AH at both points we checked on Strada Nuova Circle, so expect the lender to ask. For a condominium, building flood coverage is usually carried by the association, and the lender's rules decide what an owner adds.
Lee County places Genova in Evacuation Zone C (storm surge zone 3). Zones A and B are typically called before Zone C.
The four condominium buildings were completed from 2018 to 2020. The approved final phase of 20 villas and 11 townhomes on the northern 3.6 acres is not built, and one 2026 source lists it as shelved with the land for sale.
A roughly 20 acre project on the west side of Via Coconut Point with 330 multifamily units, about 29,600 square feet of commercial space, a church and a one-acre public park, with Phase 1 completion targeted for the end of 2026 (Engage Estero). The Estero SportsPark, with Phase 1 scheduled for October 2026, and High 5 Entertainment on Williams Road are also close by.
About 0.6 miles in a straight line. Because it is within two miles, students living at Genova do not get district bus service to Estero High.
The Club at Genova, Inc. (filed 2016) runs the amenity campus; Genova One Association, Inc. (filed 2018) governs Buildings A and B; and Genova Two Association, Inc. (filed 2018) governs Buildings C and D. All three are active on the Florida Division of Corporations registry, and the developer entity is Genova Partners, LLC (filed 2015).
In a straight line, Lovers Key State Park is about 4.9 miles and Bonita Beach Park about 7.3 miles from Strada Nuova Circle. Driving takes roughly 20 to 25 minutes.
Your Genova condo's value depends on your floor plan (a Gambaro prices very differently from a Tursi), your building and floor, your view, updates, and current market conditions, not a generic Estero or ZIP code estimate. A real comparative market analysis pulling recent Genova sales is the only reliable answer. Recent Genova sales ran a $390,000 median in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, from $325,000 to $764,000 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).

In the 12 months to October 21, 2026, 12 Genova condos closed from $325,000 to $764,000 at a $390,000 median and a $460,804 average (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). The county deed record shows 13 qualified sales at a $400,000 median over the same 12 months. Aggregator recently sold pages are not reliable enough to price a Genova unit.
Across the 103 recorded resales since 2018, Genova's median is $471,000. The yearly median climbed from $459,900 in 2021 to $549,900 in 2023, fell to $379,000 in 2025 and stands at $434,500 on 10 sales in 2026, when a large plan resale set the community's resale high of $764,000 (Lee County deed records, file of November 2, 2026). A precise appreciation figure for your specific plan needs a live, plan level trend pull.
Sold price per square foot in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 ran a median of about $231 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). Because Genova's plans range from about 1,312 to 2,206 square feet with different finishes and views, price per square foot varies, and we price from your plan's own sales.
Genova is a split market: the smaller plans softened in 2025, while the large 2,206 square foot plans sold at $495,000 to $764,000 in the past year, with the 12 month median at $390,000 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). Over 24 months the median was $380,000 and over 60 months $495,000. Whether your unit is trending up depends on its plan.
The highest recorded Genova sale in the trailing 12 months was $764,000, for a 2,206 square foot three bedroom, three bath unit that closed in January 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix). That same sale went to contract in just 4 days, the fastest sale in the period.
Floor plan is one of the biggest drivers of value at Genova. The large 2,206 square foot Tursi plans have traded in the $600,000s and $700,000s, while the smaller two bedroom Gambaro and Spinola plans cluster in the $300,000s to high $400,000s. Your floor, view, and updates then adjust from there, which a plan specific CMA captures.
That depends on your plan, your equity, and your timeline: Genova had 3 active listings against 12 sales in the prior 12 months as of October 21, 2026, about 3.0 months of supply, with a median of 75 days on market, so pricing matters. Talk to Jesse directly at (239) 898-6072 about the right window for your specific unit.
Median days on market in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 ran 75 for Genova, from a fastest sale of 4 days to a slowest of 236 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). Well priced, updated units in desirable plans move much faster than the median, which is why a plan specific pricing strategy is essential.
Florida's snowbird season, roughly November through April, is a strong window for a seasonal buyer heavy market like Estero, since many buyers shop in person while they are in state for the winter, and spring is broadly strong nationally. The right window for your specific unit depends on your timeline, which is worth a direct conversation with Jesse.
On October 21, 2026, Genova had 3 active listings, from $349,900 to $569,000, and 2 more under contract (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). Your direct competition is narrower than that, since a buyer for a large Tursi plan is not shopping the smaller two bedroom plans, which is exactly why development and plan specific inventory data matters when you price.
With 3 active listings against 12 sales in the 12 months to October 21, 2026, Genova ran about 3.0 months of supply (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026), down from about 4.0 months on September 29, 2026. Absorption is best measured within your specific plan tier rather than community wide, which we pull live before pricing.
Florida sellers typically see combined closing costs and commission run roughly 8 to 9.5 percent of the sale price. The one cost fixed by state law is the Florida documentary stamp tax at $0.70 per $100 of sale price. Everything else, including title allocation and any buyer concessions, is negotiable and should be laid out before you sign a listing agreement.
Seller closing costs in Florida generally include the documentary stamp tax on the deed ($0.70 per $100 of price), title related charges depending on local custom, association estoppel and transfer fees, prorated taxes and assessments, and the negotiated commission. We walk you through a net sheet specific to your Genova unit before you list.
Florida associations charge an estoppel fee to produce the estoppel certificate required at closing, which confirms your dues status and any balances. Genova's specific estoppel and transfer fee amounts should be confirmed with FirstService Residential, and your closing agent should request the estoppel early to avoid delaying the closing.
Buyers and lenders increasingly require association financials, the Structural Integrity Reserve Study status, milestone inspection status, insurance information, and the recorded governing documents. Because much of this is member restricted, gather it through FirstService Residential early, so your listing and disclosure package is complete before you go live.
Yes. Buyers and lenders now scrutinize SIRS and milestone status and reserve funding closely for condominium buildings of three or more stories, which Genova's four story buildings are. Genova's youth (2018 to 2020 buildings with a milestone not due until about 2048 to 2050) is generally a selling point, but you should have the current SIRS and reserve documentation ready.
An active or pending special assessment is a material fact that buyers underwrite, and it can affect price and negotiation, so it should be disclosed and quantified clearly rather than discovered mid transaction. If your building has assessment activity, we position it honestly and help you present the offsetting strengths, like the community's young reserve pool.
Florida seller disclosure practice requires disclosing known material facts, and because FEMA maps Genova in Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area, at the points we checked, flood zone and any insurance or claims history are relevant. Confirm your unit's exact FEMA zone and gather the association's insurance information so your disclosure is accurate before listing.
Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and they are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, with over $2.5 billion in team sales and over $900 million in personal sales between them. Their command of Genova's three association structure, floor plan pricing tiers, and buyer pool sets them apart from a generalist taking a first listing here.
The best listing agent for a Genova condo is one who already knows the difference between a Gambaro and a Tursi, how the split market prices each, and how Genova's rental and flood facts affect a buyer's underwriting. That is exactly what McGreevy and Comisar bring; call or text Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
We do not claim a specific unit count title we cannot verify, but McGreevy and Comisar lead the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and track Genova's market building by building. For a straight answer about our specific Genova track record and current activity, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
A Genova listing should lead with what makes the community rare: the indoor 25 meter lap pool, the single family sized floor plans with private two car garages, the resort amenity campus, and the location next to Coconut Point and the Lee Health medical campus. Professional photography, video, and a marketing plan built for remote and seasonal buyers matter, since many buyers shop from out of state.
The strongest Genova selling points are the rare indoor lap pool, the resort pool and staffed club, the gated and manned entry, the modern 2018 to 2020 concrete and impact rated construction, the oversized single family sized floor plans with private garages, and the proximity to Coconut Point and Lee Health. We build the listing narrative around whichever of these your specific unit showcases best.
Updated kitchens and baths, current finishes, and move in readiness carry outsized weight with today's buyers, and staging helps a remote or seasonal buyer visualize the space in photography and video. A pre listing walkthrough flags which updates actually move the price for your specific plan, so you do not spend on improvements that will not pay back.
You can, but Genova's rental restrictions (a two month minimum and no more than three leases per year) shape investor appeal, and a tenant in place changes showing logistics and the buyer pool. We help you weigh whether to sell tenant occupied to an investor or deliver the unit vacant to reach owner occupant buyers, based on your lease and timeline.
The fastest Genova sales come from correct, plan specific pricing plus strong marketing: the fastest sale in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 took 4 days, while the slowest took 236 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, October 21, 2026). Price it right for your plan and floor from day one, and lead the marketing with Genova's rare amenities. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
A community like Genova typically requires an association application and approval, plus an estoppel certificate at closing, coordinated through FirstService Residential. Build a few extra days into your closing timeline for these association steps, and confirm the current buyer application and approval requirements with the management company early.
Yes. Selling a Genova condo involves the association's transfer and approval process and an estoppel certificate, so you and your closing agent should engage FirstService Residential early in the transaction. Confirm the exact notification, application, and fee requirements with the management company before your listing goes live.
You can attempt a for sale by owner, but Genova's split market, member restricted association and reserve documents, and the need to position rare features to the right buyer pool all reward professional representation, and the association approval and estoppel steps still apply. Being Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, McGreevy and Comisar routinely net sellers more than the commission costs; call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
Genova's original residences are condominiums governed by the Genova One and Genova Two associations, while the final phase villas and townhomes are a newer, low rise product that may sit under different governance. That distinction affects fees, insurance structure, and buyer expectations, so a townhome or villa sale should be positioned differently from a condo sale, which we handle accordingly.
Over 60 months to October 21, 2026, 65 Genova condos closed on the MLS at a $495,000 median; over 36 months, 36 closed at $459,500; over 24 months, 24 closed at $380,000; and in the last 12 months, 12 closed at $390,000. The county record shows the median per heated square foot peaking at $328 in 2022.
The four 2,206 square foot sales in the 12 months to October 21, 2026 closed at $764,000, $610,000, $610,000 and $495,000 (Southwest Florida MLS). Floor and view explain much of that spread.
Yes. Buyers and lenders ask for the structural integrity reserve study and the reserve funding plan. Ask your association (Genova One for Buildings A and B, Genova Two for C and D) for the current SIRS summary before you list.
There is no sales data yet on the Via Coconut project or the SportsPark. Buyers will ask about traffic and noise, so we present the Village's published plans, including the one-acre public park, and let buyers weigh them.
The primary source documents below are the recorded and official records that govern Genova. Each links to its authoritative host (the Village of Estero, the Lee County Clerk, FEMA, and the State of Florida), which is where these records are maintained and kept current. Our team also keeps mirrored copies in our internal document library.
