Lennar at Kingston

Builder: Lennar Homes (NYSE: LEN) | Community: Kingston South | Location: Corkscrew Road Corridor, Estero, FL 33928 | Status: Coming Soon — Pre-Launch as of May 2026

September 2026 status update

This page was first published in May 2026. Everything in this section was re-verified on September 8, 2026 against primary sources, and it supersedes anything further down that conflicts with it.

Sales have not opened. The grand opening is October 17, 2026.

Cameratta Companies has confirmed a community-wide Kingston grand opening on Saturday, October 17, 2026, 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., with no RSVP required. As of September 1, 2026 the developer described the first model homes as under construction, not complete. No Kingston builder has opened sales; every one of them is running an interest list only. No home has closed at Kingston, which means there is still no resale history, no price per square foot record and no days on market figure for this community. Any market data you see attributed to Kingston is corridor comparable data from The Place at Corkscrew, Corkscrew Shores, Verdana Village, WildBlue or Bella Terra, and it should be labeled that way.

On move-in dates. Early 2027 has been repeated widely, including in earlier versions of this page, but as of today neither the developer nor any builder publishes a first-closing or move-in date. Treat early 2027 as a prior expectation, not a commitment.

The adopted FY2027 CDD assessment

Kingston homes carry Kingston One Community Development District assessments, collected on your Lee County property tax bill on top of ordinary property taxes. The District adopted its FY2027 budget at the statutory public hearing on August 19, 2026. We compared the adopted assessment schedule line by line against the proposed schedule inside the August 19 agenda package: zero figures changed. Annual amounts for Assessment Area One, net of the statutory early-payment discount:

• Condo product: $1,244.68
• Single Family 36 foot $1,319.15, 37 foot $1,353.72, 37.5 foot $1,371.01
• Single Family 42 foot $1,526.60, 45 foot $1,630.32, 47 foot $1,699.47
• Single Family 52 foot $1,872.34, 57 foot $2,045.21, 62 foot $2,218.09
• Single Family 72 foot $2,563.83, the largest product

Every figure includes $70.00 of operations and maintenance; the rest is debt service on the Series 2025 bond, $84,000,000 par, maturing in 2057. Assessment Area One covers 1,208 of the district’s 4,065 units. The remaining 2,857 units sit in a future bond series and currently pay only $74.47, because their debt service has not been set. When a second series is issued against those units they will carry debt service of their own, and the district has published no indication of what it will be.

The part almost nobody explains. FY2027 is flat against FY2026 as adjusted, but far below the pre-paydown FY2026 amounts. A condo figure that appears in the schedule at $2,511.38 is now $1,244.68. A Single Family 72 foot figure of $7,518.14 is now $2,563.83. That is roughly $1,267 to $4,954 less per unit per year, following a bond paydown. If you have seen the higher numbers circulating, they are real numbers from the same table, but they are not your FY2027 assessment.

One caution we will not paper over: the district published a document labeled FY 2027 Final Budget dated the day of the hearing, but executed Resolutions 2026-12 and 2026-13 and the August 19 minutes are not public yet. The next board meeting is September 16, 2026.

The Audubon lawsuit is settled

On August 13, 2026, Audubon Florida and Cameratta settled Audubon’s federal lawsuit challenging Kingston’s Army Corps of Engineers permit and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service review. Keith Laakkonen, director of Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, said the agreement provides for improved conservation outcomes and water quality, support for corridors allowing endangered Florida panthers to move safely across the landscape, and the return of any easements across sanctuary property to Audubon within two years, which eliminates the risk of an evacuation route being constructed through the sanctuary. Audubon states it neither sought nor received a monetary settlement. A March 2026 federal ruling had denied Audubon’s injunction, and Cameratta abandoned the proposed roadway through the sanctuary in July 2026. This resolved the largest legal question hanging over the project, and any passage below describing the litigation as live should be read against this.

The school is K-12, and it now has a named operator

On September 1, 2026 Cameratta stated that Kingston includes a K-12 tuition-free public charter school operated by True North Classical Academy, designed with golf-cart accessibility for student drop-off and pick-up, with enrollment preference for Kingston residents, and that Phase 1 of the school is scheduled to open in 2028. Descriptions of a K-8 at Kingston, including in earlier versions of this page, are superseded. What is still not documented is an executed charter contract, a confirmed site within Kingston, a capacity figure, or any agreement with the School District of Lee County. Until a home has an address, run that address through the School District of Lee County zone finder rather than relying on any marketing statement, ours included.

Corkscrew Road widening, and what it does not do

Lee County’s Phase 2 project widens Corkscrew Road from two lanes to four between Bella Terra Boulevard and just east of Alico Road, at a cost of roughly $27 million. As of a county update dated September 7, 2026, completion is expected at the end of 2026, delayed by utility relocations by FPL and Lumen. Note the limits carefully: Kingston sits roughly ten miles east of I-75, well beyond the project. The work improves your approach corridor. It does not widen the road in front of the community.

Acreage, in the developer’s current words

Cameratta now describes Kingston as more than 7,600 acres approved for up to 10,000 homes and approximately 700,000 square feet of commercial space, with more than 3,750 of those acres designated as environmental preserve and wildlife habitat. A 2024 state environmental filing describes a 6,676-acre project area, and the Kingston One CDD boundary is a surveyed 2,429.13 acres. Those are three different measures of three different things and we publish all three rather than picking one. Where an older figure appears below, read it against this.

Also new since this page was written: Cameratta has named WMG Development as its partner for commercial space at the main entrance to Kingston South.

What Lennar publishes today

Checked September 8, 2026. Lennar’s Kingston South page reads Coming soon and states there are currently no homes available. All four collections, Executive, Manor, Estate and Villas, are tagged Coming Soon. Visits are by appointment only and the only action available is joining the interest list. Lennar publishes no pricing for Kingston South at any level, unlike Pulte and Neal, both of which have published price bands. Anyone quoting you a Lennar price at Kingston today is not quoting the builder.

Lennar Homes is bringing 1,358 homes and villas to one of Southwest Florida’s most ambitious new master-planned communities — Kingston in Estero. If you’ve been tracking new construction along the Corkscrew Road corridor, you already know that Kingston is not a subdivision. It is a generational land play: 7,600+ acres, approximately 10,000 planned residences at full buildout, and a level of amenity investment that is redefining what a master-planned community looks like in Lee County.

Lennar’s section — marketed under the Kingston South address and situated south of Corkscrew Road — is one of the primary builder partnerships within the broader Kingston master plan developed by Cameratta Companies. This page is the most complete, data-verified buyer’s resource about Lennar’s role at Kingston available anywhere. Whether you are a retiree seeking a villa with club access, a family needing five bedrooms and a three-car garage, or an investor looking for early-phase positioning in one of Florida’s fastest-growing corridors — this guide covers everything.

To speak with a local buyer’s agent who knows this community, call Jesse McGreevy at (239) 898-6072 or reach out using the contact information in the accolade block below. Builder sales are appointment-only through at least Fall 2026. Representation costs you nothing — Lennar pays buyer’s agent commissions.

Why Lennar at Kingston Stands Apart

There are multiple builders entering Kingston. Lennar’s position is distinguished by three factors that matter most to buyers at this price point and community scale:

Scale of commitment. 1,358 homes and villas is not a small builder pod tucked into a corner of a master plan. It is a foundational commitment that gives Lennar the infrastructure leverage to absorb cost efficiently and maintain quality control over a long buildout horizon. When a builder is this deeply embedded in a community, their incentive alignment with long-term quality is real — their own sales velocity depends on the reputation they build, literally, home by home.

The Everything’s Included® distinction. In a new-construction market where most builders lead with a low base price and then charge for every meaningful upgrade — impact windows, quartz, appliances, smart home features — Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program bundles what buyers actually want into the base price. At Kingston, that means hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors, a tile roof, brick pavers, quartz countertops, gas appliances, Sherwin-Williams paint, smart thermostat, smart lock, and Ring doorbell — standard. No negotiating over option packages at the design center, no sticker shock when the structural and design upgrades inflate a $500s home into a $700s purchase.

Proven partnership with Cameratta. Lennar’s relationship with Joe Cameratta and Cameratta Companies is not new. They co-developed The Place at Corkscrew, The Preserve at Corkscrew, and Verdana Village — each of which produced some of the most in-demand new construction in Estero. David Meyers, Lennar’s Southwest Florida Division Manager, said it directly at the November 13, 2025 groundbreaking: “We’re thrilled to once again partner with Cameratta Companies following the success of The Place at Corkscrew, The Preserve at Corkscrew and Verdana Village. Kingston builds on that success with the lifestyle and amenities Cameratta is known for, coupled with Lennar’s Everything’s Included® approach—bringing incredible value and modern living to Estero.”

That partnership has a track record buyers can study and point to. Verdana Village sold rapidly. The Place at Corkscrew became a benchmark for Southwest Florida resort-style living. Kingston is the largest and most ambitious chapter of that partnership.

Market Context: New Construction in Eastern Estero in 2026

The Corkscrew Road corridor has emerged as the epicenter of Southwest Florida’s new construction market over the past five years. The drivers are structural, not speculative:

Land availability. Estero’s western areas are largely built out. The eastern corridor — Corkscrew Road stretching from I-75 to SR-82 — represents the last meaningful land bank for large-scale master-planned development in Lee County within a reasonable commute of Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, and Naples.

Infrastructure investment. Corkscrew Road widening Phase 2 ($27 million, completion targeted late 2026) will dramatically reduce congestion along the community’s primary artery. The Alico Road extension ($26.8 million, approved May 2025) creates an additional north-south connector improving regional accessibility. Kingston Village Parkway — the new east-west spine road — will connect Corkscrew Road all the way to SR-82, with a signal expected Fall 2026 and full connectivity Winter 2027–2028.

Price point dynamics. With coastal Lee County communities — Bonita Springs, Cape Coral waterfront, Fort Myers Beach recovery parcels — commanding premiums that price out the middle market, eastern Estero is absorbing significant demand from buyers who want new construction, Florida resort living, and manageable price points. Lennar’s pricing structure at Kingston — from the $400s for villas through the $700s for estate homes — is competitive with comparable new construction anywhere in the region.

Conservation credibility. A common concern with eastern Lee County development is environmental impact. Kingston addresses this more comprehensively than any comparable community in the market: 3,287–3,300 acres of the 7,600-acre site (approximately 60%) are permanently preserved conservation land. Cameratta Companies funded a wildlife underpass beneath Corkscrew Road for Florida panther movement and committed more than $100 million to wetlands restoration. For buyers who care about ecological responsibility — and many do — Kingston’s environmental commitments are not marketing copy. They are recorded obligations.

Early-phase opportunity. As of May 2026, Kingston is pre-launch. No models are open yet. The first sales releases will be among the most competitively priced opportunities in this community’s lifecycle. Historically, early-phase buyers in Cameratta communities — Verdana Village being the most recent example — benefited from both lower launch pricing and first selection of homesites.

About Kingston: The Master Plan

Kingston is the largest development project in the history of Lee County by most measures. Here is the essential context:

Developer: Cameratta Companies, founded by Joe Cameratta. The Cameratta name on a Southwest Florida community is a specific signal — it means substantial amenity investment, conservation-forward land planning, and a track record of delivering communities that hold value. The Cameratta portfolio in this corridor includes Verdana Village, The Place at Corkscrew, Corkscrew Shores, and The Preserve at Corkscrew.

Scale: Approximately 7,600+ acres (some sources cite 7,600 acres; the range reflects differing parcel measurement methodologies). At full buildout, Kingston is planned for approximately 10,000 residences across multiple villages and builder sections.

Conservation: 3,287 to 3,300 acres — approximately 60% of total land — is preserved conservation. This is not a trivial set-aside. It includes wetlands, uplands, and wildlife corridors that took years of environmental permitting and negotiation to finalize. Cameratta funded a dedicated panther wildlife underpass beneath Corkscrew Road. The $100 million+ wetlands restoration commitment is unprecedented in scale for a private residential development in this region.

Groundbreaking: November 13, 2025 — a formal event attended by Lennar leadership, Cameratta leadership, Lee County officials, and local media.

Governance: Kingston One CDD (Community Development District) — a special-purpose government entity established under Florida law that finances and manages community infrastructure. CDDs issue bonds to fund roads, utilities, and common area infrastructure, which buyers repay through an annual assessment on their tax bill. This is standard and well-understood in Florida new construction. More on CDD structure in Section 14.

Commercial: Approximately 700,000 square feet of commercial space is planned within the Kingston corridor, which will eventually make the community meaningfully self-contained for daily needs.

Education: True North Classical Academy, a K-12 tuition-free charter school anticipated to open for the 2028–2029 school year, is planned within the Kingston corridor. Projected enrollment capacity is approximately 3,100 students.

Transportation connectivity: Kingston Village Parkway will create an east-west corridor from Corkscrew Road to SR-82, dramatically improving regional mobility. The Corkscrew Road widening and the Alico Road extension are externally funded public infrastructure projects that directly benefit Kingston residents.

Builder partners: Lennar is one of multiple builders in Kingston. Pulte and Neal Communities are also confirmed participants. Each builder has a distinct section, product tier, and design aesthetic — buyers should evaluate each independently. Section 19 of this guide compares Lennar’s offering to Pulte and Neal.

The Lennar Approach: Everything’s Included®

Lennar’s Everything’s Included® program is the most important concept for any buyer evaluating Lennar vs. a competitor builder at Kingston or anywhere else. Here is precisely what it means and why it matters.

What other builders do. A competing builder might list a 4-bedroom single-family home at a base price of $519,000. That price includes the structure, standard finishes, and not much else. Impact windows? Structural upgrade — add $15,000 to $25,000. Tile roof vs. shingle? Add $8,000. Quartz countertops? Design center upgrade — add $6,000 to $12,000. Smart home features? Technology package — add $3,500. Lanai pavers? Exterior upgrade — add $4,000. By the time a buyer selects the items they actually want, the $519,000 home is a $575,000 home, and that’s before lot premiums.

What Lennar does. Every home in every collection at Kingston comes standard with:

• Hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors — This is a major item. Impact glass in Southwest Florida is not optional for safe, insurable living. It is standard in every Lennar home at Kingston.
• Tile roof — Not asphalt shingle. Tile, which is the expected roofing material at this price point in Southwest Florida and which insurance carriers rate more favorably.
• Brick paver walkway, entry, and patio — Cast-in-place or mold-formed pavers, not plain concrete.
• Quartz countertops with 4-inch backsplash — Standard across all collections.
• Stainless steel gas appliances — Executive collection receives gas range with hood vent; Estate collection receives gas cooktop with separate wall oven and microwave. Both are meaningful inclusions.
• 2-inch designer window blinds — A small item individually, a budget-meaningful item across 16 or 20 windows.
• HVAC system — Customized to the plan’s square footage and layout.
• Sherwin-Williams low-VOC interior paint — Specification-grade paint, not builder-grade commodity.
• Honeywell Home Smart Thermostat — Wi-Fi programmable, app-controllable.
• Schlage front door smart lock — Keypad entry, app-enabled, keyed elimination if desired.
• Ring Video Doorbell Pro — HD video doorbell with motion detection, integrated with the smart home package.

The cumulative value of these inclusions — priced as upgrades at competing builders — routinely ranges from $40,000 to $80,000 depending on plan size. When comparing a Lennar price to a competitor’s base price, buyers must adjust for this delta. A Lennar home in the $500s with everything included may represent better actual value than a competitor’s $480s base price that requires $60,000 in structural and design upgrades to reach the same specification level.

What Everything’s Included® is not. It is not unlimited customization. Lennar’s model is efficient production — they build from defined floor plans with defined finish packages. Buyers who want to move walls, change room configurations, or specify custom cabinetry will find that Lennar’s customization options are more constrained than a semi-custom builder. The trade-off is value consistency and build timeline predictability. For buyers who prioritize getting a well-appointed home at a known price and known timeline, Everything’s Included® is the right model.

The 4 Collections at Lennar Kingston

Lennar has organized its Kingston offering into four distinct collections, each targeting a different buyer profile and price tier. Understanding the collection structure is the first step in narrowing your search.

Villas Collection — From the $400s

Multi-family attached homes in a villa configuration. Villas share at least one wall with a neighboring unit, similar to a duplex or paired-villa structure. They are single-story, maintenance-friendly, and ideal for buyers who want the Kingston lifestyle without the square footage or maintenance commitment of a single-family home. Two floor plans: Pelican and Osprey.

Best for: Active adults, snowbirds, couples or individuals downsizing from a larger home, buyers seeking a Florida lock-and-leave property.

Executive Homes Collection — From the $500s

Single-family detached homes at the entry point of the SFR product line. Five floor plans ranging from 1,635 to 2,919 square feet. Two-car garages. Open-concept layouts, thoughtfully proportioned for the price tier. This collection offers the most floor plan variety at Kingston — everything from the compact Amelia at 1,635 square feet to the surprisingly large Miramar at 2,919 square feet with six bedrooms.

Best for: First-time new-construction buyers, couples, small families, buyers seeking a single-family home at the Villas price tier’s upper limit.

Manor Homes Collection — From the $600s

Single-family detached homes stepping up in finish level and plan scale. Four floor plans from 2,165 to 3,392 square feet. The Manor tier is where families consistently land — plans like the Key Largo (5 bed, 3 bath, 2,587 sq ft) and Weston (5 bed, 4.5 bath, 3,392 sq ft, 3-car garage) offer genuine space for multi-generational use and flexible lifestyle needs.

Best for: Growing families, buyers who need 4–5 bedrooms, buyers who want more space than Executive but haven’t jumped to Estate tier pricing.

Estate Homes Collection — From the $700s

Lennar’s flagship collection at Kingston. Five plans ranging from 2,361 to 3,945 square feet, all with three-car garages. The Estate tier introduces enhanced kitchen specifications (gas cooktop, separate wall oven, built-in microwave), larger primary suites, and in the case of the Wynwood, a two-story layout with dual owner’s suites. This is the collection for buyers who want the maximum Lennar offering at Kingston.

Best for: Luxury buyers, buyers downsizing from larger custom homes and expecting premium specifications, buyers who need a three-car garage for vehicles, golf carts, or workshop space.

Floor Plans at a Glance

The following table presents all 16 confirmed Lennar floor plans at Kingston South as of May 20, 2026.

All data originally confirmed from Lennar.com, May 20, 2026. Pricing represents collection-wide starting tiers, not individual plan base prices. Specific plan pricing will be released when sales open.

Deep Dive: Villas Collection

The Villas Collection at Lennar Kingston South provides attached-home living at the community’s most accessible price point. “Attached” means the homes share one or more walls with a neighboring unit — the standard villa or duplex configuration. Within each villa building, the units are architecturally matched and share a common exterior aesthetic. Each unit has its own private entrance, private lanai, and private garage.

Pelican — 3 Bed / 2 Bath / 1,462 Sq Ft

The Pelican is the smaller of the two Villas Collection plans and, at 3 bedrooms, arguably the more livable for buyers who need a guest room or home office alongside the primary suite. Key design elements confirmed from Lennar’s listing include a peninsula kitchen — an island-adjacent layout that opens the kitchen toward the main living area — three bedrooms distributed across a single story, and a lanai accessible from the main living area. For a villa at this square footage, three bedrooms and two full baths is an efficient layout.

The lanai inclusion is not trivial in Southwest Florida. Indoor-outdoor living is a primary lifestyle driver for buyers in this market. A covered lanai off the great room extends the usable living space meaningfully and creates the outdoor experience buyers expect at this price point.

Ideal buyer: A couple or individual who wants a guest bedroom and/or home office, values efficient single-story living, and is not looking to maintain a large yard or pool area. Snow birds and winter residents who want a Florida base without full-time footprint.

Osprey — 2 Bed / 2 Bath / 1,564 Sq Ft

The Osprey is the larger villa by square footage despite offering two bedrooms instead of three — which means each space is more generously proportioned. At 1,564 square feet for two bedrooms and two bathrooms, this plan prioritizes room quality over room count. The primary suite in a 2/2 villa of this size will typically be more substantial than in a 3/2 of similar square footage.

Ideal buyer: Couples, individuals, or buyers who value space per room over total bedroom count. Buyers who plan to use the second bedroom primarily as a guest suite or office and want a more open, expansive feel in their primary living areas.

Deep Dive: Executive Homes Collection

Five plans, all single-family detached, all with two-car garages, all on their own individual lots. This collection spans from 1,635 to 2,919 square feet — a wider range than most builders offer within a single collection tier. The Executive plans are all single-story, meaning they appeal to buyers who prioritize accessibility and the convenience of having all living spaces on one level.

Amelia — 3 Bed / 2 Bath / 1,635 Sq Ft

The Amelia is Lennar’s entry point into single-family detached living at Kingston. At 1,635 square feet, it is a compact three-bedroom, two-bath home designed around an open-concept layout with a two-car garage. Lennar describes it as single-story and open-concept — meaning the kitchen, dining, and living areas are integrated into a single flowing space rather than compartmentalized by walls.

For buyers who are sizing down from a larger home but want to maintain single-family living rather than transitioning to a villa, the Amelia provides that bridge. It also offers a lower maintenance footprint — less square footage to furnish, air-condition, and clean — while still providing the privacy and land ownership of a detached home.

Ideal buyer: Empty nesters, retirees, couples who have sold a larger family home and want to right-size without going attached. Buyers for whom the villa price point is the target but the detached configuration is the preference.

Cedar Key — 4 Bed / 3 Bath / 1,933 Sq Ft

The Cedar Key adds a fourth bedroom and a third full bathroom to the compact footprint, jumping 300 square feet from the Amelia. With three full baths in a 1,933-square-foot plan, the layout prioritizes bathroom access — likely a split-bedroom configuration with the primary suite separated from the secondary bedrooms, each cluster served by its own bathroom.

Ideal buyer: Small families who need four bedrooms but are price-conscious. Buyers who want to accommodate occasional extended family visits without a dedicated guest wing. Buyers who value bathroom count over raw square footage.

Destin — 3 Bed / 3 Bath / 2,198 Sq Ft

The Destin is an interesting plan: three bedrooms with three full bathrooms in 2,198 square feet. This is a larger footprint than the Cedar Key but with one fewer bedroom — meaning individual rooms are more spacious and the third full bath either serves as a dedicated guest bath or functions as a second suite for a guest bedroom. For buyers who are not bringing children but want a premium guest experience, the Destin’s third full bath makes a meaningful difference.

Ideal buyer: Couples with frequent visiting guests, buyers who want a home office with adjacent private bathroom, buyers who prioritize room quality and living space over maximum bedroom count.

Lido Key — 4 Bed / 2.5 Bath / 2,520 Sq Ft

At 2,520 square feet with four bedrooms and a two-car garage, the Lido Key is the entry into larger-family-capable floor plans within the Executive collection. The 2.5 bath configuration (two full baths plus a powder room) is practical for daily family use — the powder room near the main living area serves visitors and daily foot traffic without occupying a full secondary bath.

Ideal buyer: Families with children who want four bedrooms at a mid-range price point. Buyers who want generous square footage without crossing into the Manor collection price tier.

Miramar — 6 Bed / 4 Bath / 2,919 Sq Ft

The Miramar is the largest plan in the Executive collection and one of the most distinctive floor plans in the entire Kingston offering. Six bedrooms and four full bathrooms in 2,919 square feet — all single-story, two-car garage — is a combination that almost no builder delivers at the Executive price tier. The Miramar’s six-bedroom count makes it uniquely suited to multi-generational households, families with multiple children, or buyers who want to dedicate rooms to home offices, gyms, or creative spaces without sacrificing bedroom count.

Ideal buyer: Large families, multi-generational households where two or three generations share a home, buyers who need maximum bedroom count at a controlled price point, investors seeking a plan with maximum rental utility.

Deep Dive: Manor Homes Collection

Four plans, all single-family detached, ranging from 2,165 to 3,392 square feet. The Manor collection is where the majority of family buyers at Kingston will likely land — the combination of space, bedroom count, and price tier addresses the core need of buyers relocating to Southwest Florida with school-age children or extended family considerations.

Delray — 4 Bed / 3 Bath / 2,165 Sq Ft

The Delray opens the Manor collection with a plan that overlaps in square footage with the Executive tier’s Destin and Lido Key but enters at the Manor collection’s price and finish level. Four bedrooms and three full baths in 2,165 square feet is a well-proportioned family layout.

Ideal buyer: Families who want four bedrooms with three full baths, buyers who are stepping up from the Executive collection and want the Manor’s enhanced specifications without the larger square footage of the Key Largo or Palm Bay.

Key Largo — 5 Bed / 3 Bath / 2,587 Sq Ft

The Key Largo is one of the most broadly appealing plans in Lennar’s entire Kingston offering. Five bedrooms, three full bathrooms, 2,587 square feet — this plan serves virtually every family configuration: primary bedroom for parents, separate bedrooms for three or four children, and a fifth room flexible as a guest suite, home office, or flex room.

Ideal buyer: Families with three to four children, buyers with frequent extended-family guests, buyers who need a dedicated home office or study room in addition to sleeping quarters.

Palm Bay — 4 Bed / 3.5 Bath / 2,836 Sq Ft

The Palm Bay offers 2,836 square feet with four bedrooms and 3.5 baths — the half bath (powder room) adds convenience for the main living area. At this square footage with four bedrooms rather than five, each room will be meaningfully larger than in the Key Largo.

Ideal buyer: Buyers who prioritize room size over room count, couples with one or two children who want spacious secondary bedrooms and multiple bathrooms.

Weston — 5 Bed / 4.5 Bath / 3,392 Sq Ft — Manor Flagship

The Weston is the largest plan in the Manor collection and one of the most substantial single-story floor plans Lennar offers at Kingston. At 3,392 square feet with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, the Weston enters territory typically reserved for Estate-tier pricing. The confirmed three-car garage makes this plan particularly appealing to buyers who need space for two vehicles plus a golf cart, boat, or workshop.

Ideal buyer: Large families who need five bedrooms in a single-story plan, buyers who want three-car garage space without crossing into Estate collection pricing.

Deep Dive: Estate Homes Collection

Five plans, all single-family detached, all with three-car garages, all starting from the $700s. The Estate collection represents Lennar’s premium offering at Kingston — enhanced kitchen specifications (gas cooktop, wall oven, built-in microwave), larger primary suites, and in the case of the Wynwood, the only two-story design in the entire Lennar Kingston lineup.

Oakmont II — 4 Bed / 2.5 Bath / 2,361 Sq Ft

The Oakmont II is the entry-level Estate plan — four bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2,361 square feet, three-car garage. This plan serves buyers who prioritize the three-car garage and Estate-level specifications over raw square footage.

Ideal buyer: Buyers for whom the three-car garage is the primary driver, buyers who want Estate specifications in a more manageable square footage.

Sunset — 3 Bed / 3 Bath / 2,650 Sq Ft

Three bedrooms and three full baths in 2,650 square feet — a layout designed for buyers who want extraordinary room quality rather than room quantity. Three full bathrooms across three bedrooms likely means each bedroom has its own dedicated bathroom, creating an en-suite experience throughout.

Ideal buyer: Couples with occasional guests, empty nesters who want a large primary suite and high-specification finishes.

Agostino — 3 Bed / 4.5 Bath / 2,796 Sq Ft

The Agostino presents an unusual ratio: three bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms in 2,796 square feet. The extra bathrooms beyond the bedroom count suggest dedicated bathrooms for each bedroom plus additional powder rooms for the main living areas and potentially a pool bath.

Ideal buyer: Buyers prioritizing luxury specifications and entertaining utility.

National — 5 Bed / 3 Bath / 3,473 Sq Ft

The Estate collection’s family plan — five bedrooms, three full baths, 3,473 square feet, three-car garage. At this size with five bedrooms, individual rooms will be generously proportioned.

Ideal buyer: Families who want the Estate collection’s three-car garage and kitchen specifications in a five-bedroom plan.

Wynwood — 5 Bed / 3.5 Bath / 3,945 Sq Ft — Estate Flagship and Kingston’s Lennar Showpiece

The Wynwood is the flagship of Lennar’s Kingston offering — the only two-story plan in the entire lineup, the largest at 3,945 square feet, and the most architecturally distinctive.

Confirmed layout details: - First floor: Owner’s suite (primary bedroom and bath) + a lanai that spans the full width of the home. This is an exceptional feature — most single-story or two-story Florida plans have a partial-width lanai. A full-width lanai in a nearly 4,000-square-foot home creates an outdoor living space that rivals many standalone lanai builds. - Second floor: Bonus room + three additional bedrooms + a second owner’s suite. Two owner’s suites is a genuine multi-generational or dual-primary-suite configuration.

Three-car garage. 3.5 baths across five bedrooms.

Ideal buyer: Buyers seeking the maximum Lennar offering at Kingston, multi-generational families who want dual primary suites, buyers with frequent long-stay guests who want true suite-level guest accommodation.

Amenities: The Kingston South Recreation Campus

The Kingston South amenity campus spans approximately 30 acres — this is not a modest amenity center with a pool and a fitness room. This is a full resort complex managed by Troon.

Pool Complex

• Water slides

• Heated spa
• Outdoor bar and café/ice cream shop

The Saloon

• 20 outdoor pickleball courts — 32 total. For context, most resort communities offer 4–8 courts. 32 courts positions Kingston South as a serious pickleball destination.
• Fitness center and aerobics studio
• Café and sports bar within the sports complex

Additional Amenity Highlights

• Basketball courts
• Tennis courts
• Dog Park
• Splash Park / Splash Pad

Troon Management: What It Means for Residents

The Kingston South amenity campus is managed by Troon — one of the world’s leading golf and resort hospitality management companies. Troon manages more than 700 properties in 45 countries.

Professional operations standard. Troon’s core competency is managing resort-quality amenity programs. They staff, train, program, and maintain facilities to a hospitality standard that volunteer HOA boards or budget-line property management companies cannot replicate.

Programming depth. Troon brings structured programming: pickleball leagues and clinics, fitness class schedules, social event calendars, food and beverage menus. Residents get not just facilities but a curated activities calendar.

Retention of quality. In communities where amenities decline over time due to underfunded maintenance or inconsistent management, property values suffer. Troon’s involvement gives buyers confidence that the amenity investment will be maintained and professionally operated for decades.

The CDD and HOA Structure at Kingston South

Community Development District (CDD) — Kingston One CDD

Kingston is governed under a Community Development District established by Lee County (Ordinance 23-26, Kingston One CDD). A CDD is a special-purpose unit of local government created under Florida Statute Chapter 190. It has the authority to issue tax-exempt bonds to finance infrastructure — roads, utilities, landscaping, common area construction — and to levy annual assessments on property owners to repay those bonds and fund ongoing operations.

What this means for buyers:

1. The CDD assessment appears on your annual Lee County property tax bill — it is not part of your monthly HOA payment. It is separate and non-optional.
2. The assessment has two components: a debt service portion (bond repayment, typically fixed over 20–30 years) and an operations and maintenance portion (ongoing expenses, variable year to year).
3. CDDs are common throughout Florida new construction. They are not a red flag.
4. Specific CDD assessment amounts for Kingston South have not been publicly confirmed as of May 2026.

Homeowners Association (HOA)

Kingston South will have a traditional HOA structure. Monthly HOA dues specifics still had not been publicly released as of September 8, 2026. The CDD side is now settled — Kingston One adopted its FY2027 assessment schedule on August 19, 2026, and the per-product amounts are in the status update at the top of this page. Buyers should budget for both HOA dues and CDD assessment when calculating total monthly carrying cost.

Comparing Lennar to Pulte and Neal at Kingston South

Lennar vs. Pulte at Kingston

Everything’s Included® vs. Pulte’s Life Tested® Homes: Pulte’s Life Tested® program emphasizes design research and thoughtful livability touches — storage solutions, traffic flow, garage organization features. Lennar’s Everything’s Included® emphasizes upfront specification value. Both are legitimate approaches.

Floor plan range: Lennar’s 16 plans across four collections gives buyers an unusually broad selection within a single builder’s offering.

Lennar vs. Neal Communities at Kingston

Local vs. national: Neal is regional and Florida-specific; Lennar is the second-largest homebuilder nationally (NYSE: LEN).

Specification philosophy: Neal typically offers more design choices and semi-custom options compared to Lennar’s bundled approach.

The honest advice: Visit models (Fall 2026) for all three builders before making a final decision.

Why Use a Buyer’s Agent at Lennar Kingston

You will not save money by going directly to Lennar without an agent. Lennar’s pricing is set. The commissions budgeted for buyer’s agent compensation are embedded in Lennar’s cost structure regardless of whether a buyer has agent representation or not. If you buy without an agent, Lennar does not reduce the price — they retain it.

What a buyer’s agent provides: 1. Interest list registration guidance — proper registration at first contact 2. Contract review — understanding what you’re signing 3. Phase allocation intelligence — timing of releases 4. Negotiation within the builder’s framework — closing cost contributions, rate buydowns 5. Long-term relationship value — warranty advocacy post-close

McGreevy and Comisar have represented buyers in Lennar communities throughout Southwest Florida, including The Place at Corkscrew and Verdana Village. There is no cost to you for this representation — Lennar pays the buyer’s agent commission.

Pros and Cons: Honest Assessment

Strengths

• Everything’s Included® value — standard specification eliminates most upgrade sticker shock
• Floor plan depth — 16 plans from 1,462 to 3,945 sq ft serves virtually every buyer category
• Amenity quality — 30-acre campus, 32 pickleball courts, rock grotto pool complex, The Saloon, Troon management
• Proven Lennar-Cameratta partnership — three prior communities provide track record evidence
• Conservation credibility — 60% land preservation, panther underpass, $100M+ wetlands restoration
• Early-phase opportunity — launch pricing in a Cameratta community has historically been the best entry point
• Natural gas throughout — increasingly rare in Florida new construction

Considerations

• Pre-launch uncertainty — no models, no confirmed per-plan pricing, no guaranteed timelines
• CDD assessment obligation — buyers must budget for CDD on top of HOA and standard property taxes
• Eastern Estero traffic — Corkscrew Road is congested during peak season; widening project will help but is not yet complete
• Limited production customization — Lennar is not the builder for buyers who want to move walls or specify custom cabinetry
• Build timeline variability — early-phase buyers in large communities often experience longer-than-projected timelines

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lennar’s “Everything’s Included®” program?

Everything’s Included® is Lennar’s core value proposition: rather than pricing homes at a low base and charging separately for upgrades, Lennar bundles the finishes and features that buyers consistently select into the standard purchase price. At Kingston South, this means every home comes standard with hurricane-impact windows and sliding glass doors, a tile roof, brick pavers, quartz countertops, stainless steel gas appliances, 2-inch designer window blinds, a Honeywell Smart Thermostat, Schlage smart lock, and Ring Video Doorbell Pro — among other inclusions. The cumulative upgrade value typically ranges from $40,000 to $80,000 compared to a competing builder’s base specification.

Are Lennar homes at Kingston “move-in ready” or built-to-order?

Both, depending on phase. Early phases are to-order builds. Quick move-in homes typically emerge 18–24 months into a community’s sales cycle. At Kingston’s current pre-launch stage, all purchases will be to-order builds.

Can I customize my Lennar home at Kingston?

Within limits. Lennar allows selection from a defined set of finish options at their design studio. Structural changes to floor plans are generally not available. Buyers seeking significant structural customization should evaluate Neal Communities or semi-custom builders.

What amenities does Kingston South have?

Kingston South’s approximately 30-acre amenity campus includes: a tropical-themed pool complex with freeform lagoons, rock grotto, waterfalls, water slides, heated spa, outdoor bar, and café/ice cream shop; The Saloon with performance stage, full bar, and event programming; a sports complex with 12 indoor and 20 outdoor pickleball courts (32 total), fitness center, aerobics studio, and sports bar/café; basketball courts; tennis courts; dog park; splash pad; playground; and a 10-foot-wide shared-use trail network. The campus is managed by Troon.

What is Troon management and why does it matter?

Troon is a global resort and golf hospitality management company managing 700+ properties in 45 countries. At Kingston South, Troon manages the amenity campus — meaning pool operations, fitness programming, event scheduling, food and beverage service, and facility maintenance are all run by a professional hospitality organization. The practical result is resort-quality service consistency and professional maintenance standards that protect long-term property values.

Is Kingston South a natural gas community?

Yes. Lennar’s confirmed appliance specifications include natural gas — gas range with hood vent for Executive collection and gas cooktop with wall oven for Estate collection. This confirms natural gas service throughout the community.

What school zone does Kingston South fall in?

Based on current Lee County School District zoning: Three Oaks Elementary or Pinewoods Elementary, Three Oaks Middle School, and Bonita Springs High or East Lee County High.

The CDD assessment appears as a separate line item on the property tax bill, separate from the HOA fee. Specific assessment amounts have not been confirmed as of May 2026.

Can I use a buyer’s agent at Lennar Kingston?

Yes, absolutely. Lennar pays buyer’s agent commissions — your representation costs you nothing. The critical step: disclose your buyer’s agent representation at your very first contact with Lennar. Register with McGreevy and Comisar before your first Lennar interaction and they will guide you through the process.

What is the build timeline from contract to close?

8 to 14 months from contract signing to closing is a reasonable expectation at an early-phase community. Factors that extend timelines include permitting delays, supply chain, weather events, and high production volume.

How does Kingston South compare to Verdana Village?

Verdana Village is the most relevant comparator. Kingston South is substantially larger in every dimension — larger amenity investment (30-acre campus, 32 pickleball courts, The Saloon), larger conservation commitment (60% land preservation, panther underpass, $100M+ wetlands restoration), and more developed infrastructure improvement context. Buyers who bought early at Verdana Village benefited from launch pricing; Kingston South offers a similar early-phase opportunity.

What does it mean to be an “early-phase” buyer at Kingston?

Early-phase buyers purchase in the first home releases before models open to the general public. Advantages: most competitive pricing in the community’s lifecycle, broadest homesite selection, builder incentives most available. Disadvantages: no finished models to walk, longer wait for neighbors and community build-out, some infrastructure not yet complete at closing.
