McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor team for St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes, and the proof is the only kind that counts: results in this exact neighborhood, a Top 1% national ranking among real estate agents since 2008, and the #1 team position in Southwest Florida since 2012. If you own one of the 37 Pulte single-family homes on St Moritz Drive and you are thinking about selling, start with this number: the two St. Moritz residences that closed in the trailing 12 months sold at $1,250,000 and $1,265,500, with a median of just 14 days on market. That is one of the fastest absorption rates anywhere behind the gates, and it rewards the seller who prices with discipline and presents the home correctly. Knowing how to position a single-story Cayman plan on a golf-course lot against a two-story home with a water view is the difference between a two-week contract and a listing that lingers.
If you are buying, St. Moritz solves a problem most of Miromar Lakes does not: it is one of the only neighborhoods in the community built with true single-story floor plans, by a national production builder (Pulte Homes), at a genuine single-family entry point into a community named the #1 Community in the USA by the National Association of Home Builders. St. Moritz sits on the western side of the community, immediately beside the golf club, on the Estero and Fort Myers line in southern Lee County. This guide covers the builder and floor plans, the one- and two-story choice, the golf and water lot settings, fees and the cost of ownership, the live June 2026 market numbers, and more than 40 frequently asked questions: everything a serious buyer or seller needs to know.
Choosing a realtor for a St. Moritz purchase or sale comes down to two things: a verifiable track record and genuine neighborhood-level knowledge. McGreevy and Comisar bring both:
And here is the St. Moritz market over the last 12 months, straight from Stellar MLS: 2 closed sales at $1,250,000 and $1,265,500 (a median of $1,257,750), with a median of just 14 days on market, the most recent closing on February 27, 2026. Right now 1 residence is actively listed at $1,150,000, a single-story Cayman-model home on the golf course. Compare that 14-day sold median against the broader community, where well-priced homes still routinely take two to three months to find a buyer, and the conclusion is plain: when a St. Moritz home is priced right, it moves. With only 37 homes in the neighborhood and a thin handful trading in any given year, the difference between a great outcome and an average one is execution, and that is exactly where neighborhood-specific representation earns its keep inside a community whose overall median sale is $1,345,904.

St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes is the neighborhood to know if single-story living is non-negotiable: it is one of the only enclaves in the entire community where Pulte built genuine one-story floor plans as a standard option rather than a rare exception. For the retiree, the empty-nester, or the buyer who is simply done with stairs, that single fact moves St. Moritz to the top of a very short list inside these gates.
Think about what that means in a community like this one. Miromar Lakes is full of magnificent product, but most of it climbs. The beachfront estates are three stories. The waterfront condominiums and coach homes stack residences on top of one another with elevators. Even much of the single-family inventory was built as two-story homes to maximize square footage on a lot. A buyer who needs everything on one level, primary suite, kitchen, living, and guest rooms all on the ground floor, with no elevator and no staircase, runs out of options fast. St. Moritz is where that search usually ends, because Pulte offered both one- and two-story plans here, and the single-story homes are a recurring part of the resale supply rather than a unicorn.
That structural choice gives St. Moritz a specific, durable place in the Miromar Lakes resale market. The community offers grand beachfront estates, golf villas, coach homes, and resort condominiums, but only a handful of neighborhoods deliver attainable, detached, single-family living, and St. Moritz is one of the very few that pairs it with the option of a true one-story home. For the snowbird who wants a lock-and-leave house and not a condo, the local downsizer leaving a larger two-story home elsewhere in Estero or Naples, or the buyer making their first move into Miromar Lakes who wants a real house rather than an attached residence, St. Moritz is frequently the single best answer behind the gates at this price point.
And the market agrees that the demand is real. The two homes that sold here in the trailing 12 months went under contract at a median of 14 days. When a well-priced St. Moritz home hits the MLS, especially a single-story plan, it does not wait around, because the pool of buyers who specifically need this configuration inside this community is deep and the supply is genuinely thin.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes is a 37-home single-family neighborhood on St Moritz Drive, on the western side of Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club in Estero, Florida (Miromar Lakes, FL 33913), immediately beside the Arthur Hills Signature golf course. Its homes were built by Pulte Homes during Miromar Lakes' original construction era, between 2002 and 2005, which makes St. Moritz one of the founding neighborhoods of the community.
The geography is simple and worth understanding before a showing. You enter Miromar Lakes through the main 24/7 staffed guard gate off Ben Hill Griffin Parkway and follow the community roads to the western, golf-side stretch where St. Moritz sits. The neighborhood occupies the residential and golf-course portion of the community that drains, in the Community Development District's terms, through Basins 1, 2, and 3 on the west side of Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, the cascading golf-course-lake system that defines this part of Miromar Lakes. In plain language: St. Moritz is golf-course country, with lake views available on the lots that back to water.
The homes themselves are classic early-2000s Pulte production single-family product, which is a feature, not a knock. Production-builder consistency means the floor plans, construction quality, and lot layouts are predictable and well understood, and the inventory is uniform enough that pricing is legible to a buyer and a seller who know the comp set. Sample addresses on St Moritz Drive include 9941, 10009, and 10071, and the homes present as one- and two-story residences with two-car garages, many with private screened pools, on golf-frontage, water-view, and interior lots.
One housekeeping note for anyone searching public records or older marketing: you will see the neighborhood written as both "St. Moritz" and "St Moritz" (with and without the period), and the street as St Moritz Drive or St. Moritz Dr. They are the same place. The neighborhood sits under the Miromar Lakes master association and the Miromar Lakes Community Development District, the independent special-purpose local government that manages the community's infrastructure, which we cover in detail in the fees section below.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes offers detached single-family homes from roughly 2,000 to 2,700-plus square feet under air, built by Pulte Homes between 2002 and 2005, typically configured as three bedrooms plus a den with two-and-a-half to three baths, a two-car garage, and on many homes a private screened pool. The neighborhood's signature feature is the floor-plan choice itself: Pulte built both one-story and two-story plans here, so a buyer can shop genuine single-level living or a larger two-story home within the same 37-home enclave.
Because this was a Pulte production neighborhood, the plans repeat in a way that makes the resale market legible:
Finishes vary widely by home. This is an early-2000s neighborhood where some residences remain in tasteful original condition and others have been renovated to contemporary standards, with newer roofs, updated kitchens and baths, and refreshed pools (the active listing, for instance, carries a 2024 roof). That spread is precisely why the trailing-12-month sales sat in a relatively tight band of $1,250,000 to $1,265,500 while the lone active asks $1,150,000: story configuration, lot setting, view, and renovation status each move the number, and a buyer who understands those variables prices a St. Moritz home very differently from a generalist working off a neighborhood average.
If you want the honest comparison of how a specific plan lives, which single-story homes have the best kitchens, which two-story plans use the second floor well, which lots sit on the golf course versus the water, call Marc at (239) 287-5873. We walk St. Moritz with buyers regularly, and the differences between these homes are real and worth money.
The central decision at St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes is the one most neighborhoods in the community do not even let you make: one-story or two-story. Because Pulte built both here, the choice is real, and the right answer depends entirely on who you are and how you will use the home. Here is the honest framework we give buyers.
Choose a single-story St. Moritz home if single-level living is the reason you are looking at this neighborhood at all. Retirees, buyers planning to age in place, anyone with mobility considerations, and snowbirds who want the simplest possible lock-and-leave house all gravitate to the one-story plans. The primary suite and the main living space share a floor with the kitchen and the lanai, there is no staircase to navigate with luggage or groceries, and the home simply lives easier day to day. These are also the homes with the deepest resale demand inside St. Moritz, because the single-story-inside-Miromar-Lakes buyer has so few alternatives. When you eventually become the seller, that scarcity is your leverage.
Choose a two-story St. Moritz home if you want the most square footage and bedroom count for the dollar and stairs are a non-issue. The two-story plans reach the larger end of the neighborhood, give you a separated upstairs for guests, a bonus room, or a home office, and tend to sit on the same desirable golf and water lots. For a couple who hosts visiting family for the season, or a buyer who wants a genuine four-bedroom-equivalent footprint, the two-story homes deliver more house.
What both share is everything that makes St. Moritz worth owning: a detached, single-family home you maintain on your own terms, a Pulte-built structure with predictable bones, a golf-side address inside a five-star resort community, and a price point that, for Miromar Lakes, is genuinely accessible. The decision is rarely about prestige and almost always about how your body and your guests will use the space. Describe your situation to us and we will tell you in one conversation which St. Moritz configuration fits, and which specific homes (active or likely to come) match it. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes sits on the western, golf-side stretch of the community, so its lots split primarily between golf-course views and water views, with a smaller number of interior lots, and that lot setting is one of the biggest value variables in the neighborhood after story configuration. Understanding the difference before you tour saves time and prevents overpaying.
Golf-course lots back to the only Arthur Hills Signature course in Southwest Florida, delivering open, manicured fairway views, morning light, and a sense of space behind the home that interior lots cannot match. The active listing in the neighborhood is a golf-course home, which is typical of the St. Moritz inventory. For buyers who value a green, open vista and do not mind the occasional golfer passing by, the golf lots are the heart of the neighborhood.
Water-view lots back to the lake system that threads through this part of Miromar Lakes, the same cascading golf-course-lake network the Community Development District maintains across Basins 1, 2, and 3. A water view brings reflection, wildlife, and a softer evening light, and on the right lot it commands a premium over an interior setting. St. Moritz is not one of the community's primary private-dock neighborhoods (the deep-water dock enclaves sit elsewhere in Miromar Lakes), so a St. Moritz water view is about the vista and the setting rather than keeping a boat behind the house. If lake-and-dock living is your priority, we will point you to the right neighborhood, and if a serene water view on a detached single-family lot is the goal, St. Moritz delivers it.
Interior lots are the smallest share of the neighborhood and typically the most attainable, a sensible choice for the buyer who prioritizes the home itself, the single-story floor plan, or the price over the view. Every St. Moritz owner, regardless of lot, has the identical full access to the community's beach, golf, marina, spa, and amenity suite, so the lot decision is purely about your daily view and your budget, not about lifestyle access. We help buyers weigh the premium honestly: a golf or water lot is worth real money, but only if it matches how you will actually live in the home.
Every St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes owner has full access to the community amenity that no other Southwest Florida community can replicate: roughly three miles of private white-sand beach lining the 700-acre Lake Como, entirely within the gates, with zero public access. A golf-side single-family home in St. Moritz comes with the same beach rights as a beachfront estate, which is the quiet genius of buying here.
Lake Como is the centerpiece of the entire community: a single contiguous 700-acre freshwater lake reaching depths of 26 to 40 feet, sitting entirely inside the gated community. It is large enough and deep enough for genuine powerboating, water skiing, wakeboarding, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and freshwater fishing for bass, bream, and catfish, with no public boat ramp, no outside traffic, and no crowding, ever. Because the water is fresh, there is no salt corrosion, no jellyfish, no rip currents, and no red tide to interrupt a season on the water. For a St. Moritz owner, the lake is a short drive across the community to the beach and the marina, where you can keep, rent, or store a boat without owning a slip behind the house.
The beach itself is maintained to resort standards: imported white sand, private beach cabanas on a resident reservation system, lounge chairs and umbrellas, a beach volleyball area, and water-sports launch points. Anchoring it is the Blue Water Beach Grill, the open-air waterfront restaurant residents reach by boat, on foot along the sand, or by car, a community favorite for two decades with happy hours, live music, and dancing. Supporting all of it is the Marina on the Peninsula, the community's full-service marine hub: gated boat storage, slip rentals, on-site and mobile fueling, powerboat and sailboat rentals, guided fishing excursions, and a boat-concierge service. A St. Moritz owner who wants to be on the water simply walks or drives to the marina rather than maintaining a dock, which suits the lower-maintenance profile of single-family golf-side living.
One honest note every buyer should hear: Lake Como is an internal freshwater lake with no Gulf access. Boating here is lake boating, exceptional for water sports and sunset cruises, but it does not connect to the Gulf of Mexico. For most St. Moritz buyers, who choose this neighborhood for the home and the single-story option rather than for a dock, the freshwater lake is purely an amenity to enjoy, and a beautiful one.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes owners live beside, and have access to membership at, Miromar Lakes Golf Club, the only Arthur Hills Signature course in all of Southwest Florida, a 100% private, par-72 championship layout that plays from roughly 4,500 to 7,100 yards, with a 74.1 rating and a 137 slope from the championship tees. For a neighborhood whose lots back directly onto the fairways, that is a daily amenity as much as a membership.
Arthur Hills reserved the "Signature" designation for a select few layouts representing the highest expression of his architectural philosophy, and this is the only one in the region. TifEagle Bermuda greens (recently re-grassed) provide exceptional year-round putting surfaces, six tee sets keep the course honest for serious players and comfortable for weekend golfers, and the Tuscan-inspired Golf Clubhouse, its interior designed by Juan Montoya, named among Architectural Digest's Top 100 interior designers in the world, anchors the experience with a full pro shop, teaching professionals, a practice range, and performance facilities. Residents and members only, no outside play, ever.
Now the part every St. Moritz buyer needs to understand clearly: golf membership at Miromar Lakes is separate and optional, with a membership waitlist managed through the club's Director of Membership, and the official golf initiation fee is $140,000. Critically, buying a new-construction home at Miromar Lakes lets you bypass the golf waitlist, while resale buyers (including St. Moritz buyers, since the neighborhood is a resale neighborhood) may face the waitlist depending on current demand. If golf access on a specific timeline is central to your purchase, that nuance can shape how we structure your search. Annual dues and membership terms change, so confirm the current schedule directly with the club before you rely on any figure.
For the majority of St. Moritz buyers, who choose this neighborhood for the single-story option, the detached home, and the attainable Miromar price point, the takeaway is simpler: world-class private golf is quite literally in your backyard if and when you want it, and it is never mandatory. This is exactly the kind of membership-mechanics nuance where representation matters. Call Jesse at (239) 898-6072 to talk through how golf access lines up with a specific St. Moritz home.
Every St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes owner has full access to the community amenity suite that made Miromar Lakes the only Florida community ever named #1 Community in the USA by the NAHB, and the only U.S. community to win Gold for both #1 Community and #1 Clubhouse, the historic "double gold." That five-star experience is identical whether you own a golf-side single-family home in St. Moritz or a beachfront estate.
The amenity suite is comprehensive and continuously maintained to resort standards:
This is the layered value of a St. Moritz address: an attainable, detached, single-family home with the option of single-story living, nested inside a five-star resort community. More than 200 national, state, and local awards back the resort half of that sentence, including multiple Lee BIA Pinnacle "Residential Developer of the Year" wins (2020 through 2023) and the 2024 Lee BIA Pinnacle Grand Award for Best Master-Planned Community of the Year.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes sits at one of the most strategically advantageous addresses in Southwest Florida: inside Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club in Estero, unincorporated Lee County, immediately off I-75 at Corkscrew Road, straddling Ben Hill Griffin Parkway, roughly 10 to 15 minutes from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW).
That airport number deserves emphasis: for seasonal owners flying in and out a dozen times a year, no Naples luxury community can match a 10 to 15 minute airport run, and for a lock-and-leave single-story house, that convenience is part of the whole point. From the gate you are minutes from Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), the Miromar Outlets, and Hertz Arena, with the full Estero retail corridor, Coconut Point, University Village, and Gulf Coast Town Center, in easy reach. Gulf beaches are a short drive west, and downtown Naples and the Fort Myers River District each sit close enough for a spontaneous dinner, because the community is positioned squarely between the two.
There is a development through-line here worth knowing: Margaret Antonier, founder and CEO of Miromar Development Corporation, also created the adjacent Miromar Outlets, the Miromar Design Center, and University Village. The surrounding commercial landscape was shaped by the same vision that built the community, which supports the long-term value of the entire corridor. The FGCU relationship runs deep as well: Antonier received an Honorary Doctor of Laws from FGCU in May 2023, and in February 2026 the FGCU Board of Trustees approved naming a major academic building "Margaret Antonier Hall" in recognition of a $10 million commitment endowing The Water School, celebrated formally in April 2026.
And the location fact that touches every owner's insurance bill: St. Moritz sits east of I-75, roughly 10 to 12 miles inland from the open Gulf, outside the coastal storm-surge band that defines the risk, and the premiums, for Gulf-front product. More on that in the fees and insurance section.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes sits in an all-ages community served by the Lee County School District's proximity-based school-choice system, so families with school-age children select from schools based on proximity and availability rather than a single guaranteed assignment, and should confirm current options with the district for this specific address. As a detached single-family neighborhood with the option of larger two-story homes, St. Moritz can suit a family as readily as a retiree.
For higher education, Florida Gulf Coast University is immediately adjacent to the community, and strong private school options exist throughout Estero, Fort Myers, and Bonita Springs. The community's all-ages character means St. Moritz draws a genuine mix: seasonal and year-round empty-nesters and professionals who want the single-story or detached-home formula, alongside families who want a real house inside a resort community. Because the school-choice landscape and any boundary or capacity details can change year to year, we connect buyers with current district resources rather than relying on dated assumptions, and we weigh school considerations alongside the home and lot when that matters to your search.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes is a thin, fast-moving resale market: two sales in the trailing 12 months at $1,250,000 and $1,265,500 (a median of $1,257,750), a median of only 14 days on market, and exactly one active listing at $1,150,000, in a 37-home neighborhood. Read those numbers like an owner.
A 37-home neighborhood that turns over two homes a year is running at roughly 5% annual turnover, which tells you owners here stay put. One active listing equals under 3% of the housing stock available at any given moment. And the two buyers who did transact needed a median of just 14 days to commit, which is extraordinary by Miromar Lakes standards, where well-priced homes commonly take two to three months. That combination, very low supply plus fast absorption, is the textbook setup for a neighborhood where a correctly priced, well-presented home, especially a single-story plan, transacts almost immediately, while an aspirationally priced listing sits in plain view of a small, attentive buyer pool.
The relationship between the sold band and the active ask is the second thing to understand. The two homes that closed sat in a tight $1,250,000 to $1,265,500 range, while the lone active asks $1,150,000. That is not a sign of a falling market so much as a reflection of the specific home: the active listing is a roughly 2,266-square-foot single-story Cayman-model home on a golf lot, while the February 2026 sale at $1,250,000 was a larger two-story home of roughly 2,733 square feet. Story configuration, square footage, lot setting, view, and renovation status stack on top of each other, and in a neighborhood this small, every listing is its own data point rather than a member of a deep, averageable pool. That is precisely why a St. Moritz seller should never price off a "neighborhood average."
Context within the community: Miromar Lakes overall recorded 72 closed sales in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,345,904 with a top sale of $4.2 million, and carries 59 active listings as of June 2026. St. Moritz's sold median sits modestly below the community median, which is exactly what you would expect from the community's attainable detached-home tier, and the single-story option plus the golf-side setting give it demand characteristics that punch above its price. That is why its days-on-market figure embarrasses the broader market.
For buyers, the practical guidance is blunt: when the right St. Moritz home lists, particularly a single-story plan, you will not have a leisurely decision window. A median of 14 days from list to contract means the good ones are gone in two weeks. Get the alert set up before the listing appears. For sellers, the same fact is leverage, and we show you how to use it in the seller section below.
The current state of the St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes market, from a live Stellar MLS pull:
Community-wide context: Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club recorded 72 closed sales in the trailing 12 months at a median of $1,345,904 (top sale $4.2 million), with 59 active listings as of June 2026. The community rental market is equally strong: leases have been closing at approximately 100% of asking rent, with a median achieved rent of about $7,500 per month community-wide, relevant context for any St. Moritz owner weighing rent versus sell.

Owning at St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes involves a layered but relatively lean fee structure for the community, master association dues, a CDD line on the tax bill, and optional club memberships, without the heavy sub-association exterior-maintenance dues that the condominium and coach-home neighborhoods carry. As a detached single-family home, your St. Moritz residence is yours to maintain, which keeps the association layer lighter than attached product even at a similar purchase price.
Here is the conceptual stack, layer by layer:
We deliberately do not publish specific dollar figures for the master dues and CDD line here: figures circulating on third-party sites are routinely out of date or simply wrong, and the current schedule can change with any association or district budget cycle (the CDD adopts a fresh annual budget each year). McGreevy and Comisar pull the parcel-specific fee picture, master dues, the current CDD assessment, and the club schedule, for every home our clients seriously consider, and we obtain the estoppel documents before closing so there are no surprises after you own. Confirm current figures with us.
On insurance, St. Moritz holds a structural advantage over coastal homes. The neighborhood sits east of I-75, roughly 10 to 12 miles inland from the open Gulf, outside the coastal storm-surge band, a fundamentally different risk geography than the Gulf-front stock whose insurance costs have dominated Florida headlines. As a single-family homeowner you carry a standard homeowner's policy on the structure rather than a condo interior policy, and inland location keeps wind and flood cost-of-carry materially below comparable beachfront product. As with any Florida purchase, flood-zone determination is parcel-specific, and we verify the current FEMA flood map status for any St. Moritz home you pursue.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes is governed by the Miromar Lakes master association documents layered over the Community Development District, and the rules that matter most to buyers are the leasing restrictions, pet provisions, architectural standards, and approval procedures, all of which we verify on current documents before any client writes an offer.
Rentals. Community-wide, Miromar Lakes rentals are governed by association rules with a 30-day minimum lease as the common arrangement. Nightly and weekly vacation rentals are generally restricted, and the community may limit the number of leases per year. If your plans involve renting, seasonal furnished rentals here peak November through April and command the community's strongest rates, confirm the current St. Moritz lease minimums, annual lease caps, and tenant-approval procedures with us before you buy. The community-wide numbers are compelling: leases closing at about 100% of ask, median achieved rent near $7,500 per month.
Pets. Single-family neighborhoods at Miromar Lakes generally treat pets more flexibly than the condominium associations, but reasonable provisions can still apply, and leash and nuisance rules are standard. If you are bringing multiple or large dogs, that remains a document-check item rather than an assumption, and we pull the current rules on every transaction.
Architectural standards and approval. As an early-2000s production neighborhood inside a luxury master community, St. Moritz carries architectural and exterior-maintenance standards designed to protect curb appeal and value, paint palettes, landscaping expectations, roof and driveway standards, and the like. Renovations and exterior changes typically route through an approval process. Expect an estoppel certificate at closing confirming the fee status of the specific home. These are routine, but the timelines matter in contract drafting, another place where neighborhood-specific experience prevents avoidable friction.
The CDD, in plain terms. The Miromar Lakes Community Development District is the independent local government that built and maintains the community's roads, lakes, and stormwater system. It is run by a five-member elected Board of Supervisors, publishes its budgets and financial statements publicly, and funds its work through an assessment that appears on your Lee County tax bill. For a St. Moritz owner, the practical takeaways are simple: the infrastructure around your golf-side home is professionally managed and transparently financed, and the CDD line is a normal, predictable part of the annual tax bill that we account for in your net or carrying-cost analysis.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes occupies a specific rung on the community's price ladder, the attainable detached-single-family tier with a single-story option, and the right comparison depends on whether you want a house or an attached residence, and how much you weight maintenance, square footage, and the boat. Here is the honest comparison we give buyers.
St. Moritz vs. Tivoli. Tivoli is St. Moritz's closest sibling in spirit: a Pulte neighborhood from the same 2002 to 2005 era, also offering some one-story plans, but built as detached villas rather than full single-family homes, and at a lower price point (trailing median around $875,000). Tivoli is the larger, more liquid neighborhood, so active inventory is more common there. Choose Tivoli if you want the most attainable detached Pulte product and a smaller, lower-maintenance villa footprint. Choose St. Moritz if you want a true single-family home with more square footage and the cleaner single-story option, and you are comfortable a step up in price.
St. Moritz vs. Vivaldi. Vivaldi is the closest price comparable (trailing median $1,066,000), but it is a fundamentally different product: full-floor waterfront condominium residences with private boat docks at the neighborhood, one residence per floor, and the convenience of lock-and-leave condo living with no exterior maintenance. The trade is structural. Vivaldi gives you the boat and a maintenance-free building but stacks you in a three-story condominium; St. Moritz gives you a detached single-family home, the single-story option, and a golf-side lot, but you maintain the house and the lake is a drive away rather than behind the home. Boaters who want zero maintenance lean Vivaldi; buyers who want a real, detached, single-level house lean St. Moritz.
St. Moritz vs. Valencia. Valencia is the community's value entry point (trailing median $700,000), a Centex coach-home neighborhood with golf-course views, the lowest-cost way into the full Miromar amenity package. Valencia is attached product, smaller and more affordable; St. Moritz is detached single-family at a higher price. Choose Valencia for the lowest entry cost into the community; choose St. Moritz when you specifically need a detached house and the single-story floor plan.
The step up: Bellini and Montebello. Above St. Moritz sit Bellini's waterfront coach-home residences (trailing median $1,440,000) and Montebello's large coach homes in the Costa del Lago enclave (trailing median $1,750,000), both attached product that trades larger and more expensive. Buyers who want more square footage and a more luxurious finish, and who do not need a detached single-family structure or a single-story plan, often tour these alongside St. Moritz. The deciding question is almost always the same: do you want a house, or a residence? St. Moritz is for the buyer who wants the house. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and we will line up the side-by-side tour.
St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes fits a specific buyer almost perfectly: the retiree, downsizer, or seasonal owner who wants a detached single-family home, often on a single level, inside a five-star resort community, at a genuinely attainable Miromar price. It is the wrong answer for a handful of buyer types too, and knowing which you are saves everyone time.
St. Moritz is likely your neighborhood if:
St. Moritz is probably not your neighborhood if:
Not sure which profile you are? That is literally our job. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and describe your need for single-level living, your tolerance for maintenance, and your budget, and we will tell you in one conversation whether St. Moritz or one of its siblings fits.
Transactions at St. Moritz at Miromar Lakes have a handful of mechanics that differ from a standard Florida home sale, the single-story-versus-two-story value question, club membership coordination, the CDD and estoppel stack, and the thin-comp pricing problem, and handling them correctly is where neighborhood-specific representation earns its keep.
For buyers, the sequence that works:
For sellers, the levers that move the number:
Either direction, the first step is the same ten-minute call: Jesse at (239) 898-6072 for sellers, Marc at (239) 287-5873 for buyers.
If you are searching "sell my St. Moritz home" or looking for the best St. Moritz listing agent, here is the market you are sitting on: two neighborhood sales in the trailing 12 months at $1,250,000 and $1,265,500, with a median of just 14 days from list to contract, and only one competing listing in the entire 37-home neighborhood. Scarce supply, proven demand, fast absorption: that is a seller's setup, and the difference between a good outcome and a great one is execution.
McGreevy and Comisar are the listing team for that execution:
What that record means for your St. Moritz listing specifically: we price your home against the right comp, single-story or two-story, golf lot or water lot, renovated or original, not a neighborhood average that ignores what actually makes your home different. We market the single-story advantage to the buyers who pay for it, the retirees and downsizers who need one-level living inside Miromar Lakes and have almost nowhere else to find it. We stage the estoppel, CDD, and association paperwork before contract. And we run the quiet channels: with this little inventory, some of the best St. Moritz outcomes never hit the open MLS. Confidential and off-market representation is available, and our buyer database inside Miromar Lakes is the deepest of any team in the region, built over a Top 1% national track record since 2008.

St. Moritz is a 37-home single-family neighborhood inside Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club in Estero, Florida, built by Pulte Homes between 2002 and 2005 on St Moritz Drive, on the western side of the community beside the golf club. It is one of the only Miromar Lakes neighborhoods that offers true single-story floor plans, which makes it a go-to for buyers who need single-level living inside the community.
Thirty-seven detached single-family homes, all built by Pulte Homes in the community's original construction era. The small size is part of the appeal and part of the market dynamic: with so few homes, resale supply is genuinely thin, and well-priced homes sell quickly.
Pulte Homes, the national production builder, which also built the Tivoli detached-villa neighborhood at Miromar Lakes. Production-builder consistency means the floor plans, construction quality, and lot layouts are predictable and well understood, which makes pricing legible for both buyers and sellers.
Yes, and that is its defining feature. Pulte built both one-story and two-story plans in St. Moritz, so genuine single-level living is a real, shoppable option here. In most of Miromar Lakes, single-story homes are the rare exception; in St. Moritz, they are a recurring part of the inventory, which is exactly why the neighborhood draws buyers who need one-level living.
Roughly 2,000 to 2,700-plus square feet under air, typically configured as three bedrooms plus a den with two-and-a-half to three baths, two-car garages, and private screened pools on many homes. The original Pulte plans ran to the mid-2,000s; some homes live larger once lanais are enclosed and space is fully built out, which is why a recent sale measured about 2,733 square feet.
The trailing 12 months saw two sales at $1,250,000 and $1,265,500, and the one current listing asks $1,150,000. Story configuration (one or two), lot setting (golf, water, or interior), view, and renovation status drive the differences, so a single-story golf-lot home and a larger two-story home are different products at different numbers.
As of June 2026, one home is actively listed at $1,150,000, a single-story Cayman-model residence of roughly 2,266 square feet with three bedrooms, on the golf course, with a 2024 roof. For an honest read on it, including how it compares to the homes that recently sold, call Marc at (239) 287-5873.
Fast, when priced correctly. The two homes that sold in the trailing 12 months went under contract at a median of 14 days, among the quickest in the entire community, where two to three months is routine. Single-story plans in particular tend to move quickly because the buyer pool that needs them inside Miromar Lakes is deep and the supply is thin. Serious buyers should have alerts and financing staged before the right home lists.
On the western side of the community, immediately beside the Arthur Hills Signature golf course, on St Moritz Drive. In Community Development District terms, it sits in the residential and golf-course drainage area west of Ben Hill Griffin Parkway. Lots split between golf-course views, water views, and a smaller number of interior settings.
Both are available. Most St. Moritz lots back to the golf course or to the lake system that threads through this part of the community, with a smaller number of interior lots. Golf and water lots command a premium over interior settings, and the active listing, for example, is a golf-course home. We help buyers weigh the view premium against the home and the budget.
St. Moritz is a golf-side single-family neighborhood, not one of Miromar Lakes' primary private-dock enclaves, so a water-view St. Moritz lot is about the vista and setting rather than keeping a boat behind the house. Owners who want to boat use the community's full-service Marina on the Peninsula, where you can keep, store, or rent a boat. If a private dock at home is your priority, we will steer you to the right neighborhood.
Everything the lake offers: powerboating, water skiing, wakeboarding, sailing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and freshwater fishing on a single contiguous 700-acre lake, 26 to 40 feet deep, entirely private to the community, plus the roughly three miles of private white-sand beach. You reach the marina and beach by a short drive across the community, with the same access as any other Miromar Lakes owner.
No. Lake Como is an internal freshwater lake with no Gulf access, exceptional for water sports and sunset cruises but not connected to open water. For St. Moritz buyers, who choose the neighborhood for the home and the single-story option rather than for a dock, the freshwater setting is purely an amenity to enjoy: no salt, no tides, no red tide.
Every Miromar Lakes resident, including all of St. Moritz, has full access to the community's roughly three miles of private white-sand beach on Lake Como, plus beach cabanas on a resident reservation system, lounge areas, volleyball, water-sports launches, and the beachfront Blue Water Beach Grill. The beach is entirely inside the gates with zero public access. A golf-side St. Moritz home carries the exact same beach rights as a beachfront estate.
No. Golf membership at Miromar Lakes is separate and optional, the only Arthur Hills Signature course in Southwest Florida, 100% private, with a $140,000 initiation fee and a membership waitlist managed through the club. Buying new construction in the community bypasses the waitlist; resale buyers, including St. Moritz buyers, may face it depending on demand. Confirm the current schedule directly with the club. Many St. Moritz buyers value simply living on the course whether or not they join.
As a detached single-family home, St. Moritz carries a leaner fee stack than the attached neighborhoods: Miromar Lakes master association dues (the resort amenities and security), a CDD assessment on the Lee County tax bill (community roads, lakes, and drainage), and optional club memberships. You maintain your own home and lot rather than paying a sub-association to do it. Specific figures change with budget cycles and third-party sites are routinely wrong, so confirm current numbers with us; we pull the parcel-specific stack and estoppel on every transaction.
The Miromar Lakes Community Development District is the independent special-purpose local government that built and maintains the community's roads, lakes, and stormwater system across roughly 972 acres. It is run by a five-member elected Board of Supervisors and funds its work through an assessment on your annual Lee County property tax bill. For a St. Moritz owner it means the infrastructure around your home is professionally managed and transparently financed.
Structurally favorable for Florida: St. Moritz sits east of I-75, roughly 10 to 12 miles inland from the open Gulf, outside the coastal storm-surge band that defines beachfront risk. As a single-family owner you carry a standard homeowner's policy on the structure, and inland location keeps wind and flood cost-of-carry materially below coastal product. Flood-zone status is parcel-specific, and we verify the current FEMA map determination on any home you pursue.
Within limits. Miromar Lakes rentals commonly carry a 30-day minimum lease, with tenant approval and possible annual lease caps; nightly and weekly rentals are generally restricted. Community-wide, leases have closed at about 100% of asking with a median achieved rent near $7,500 per month. Confirm St. Moritz's current rules with us before buying with rental plans.
Single-family neighborhoods at Miromar Lakes generally treat pets more flexibly than the condominium associations, with standard leash and nuisance rules. If your household includes multiple or large dogs, treat it as a document-verification item rather than an assumption; we pull the current rules on every offer we write.
Miromar Lakes is an all-ages community served by the Lee County School District's proximity-based school-choice system, so families select among nearby schools based on proximity and availability rather than one guaranteed assignment. Confirm current options with the district for this address. FGCU is immediately adjacent, and private options span Estero, Fort Myers, and Bonita Springs.
Roughly 10 to 15 minutes to Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), the headline convenience of the entire community and one no Naples luxury address can match. Miromar Outlets, FGCU, and Hertz Arena are minutes away; Gulf beaches a short drive west; Naples and Fort Myers each within easy dinner range.
It is one of the best fits in the community. The single-story floor-plan option, the detached single-family format, the lock-and-leave convenience with a 10 to 15 minute airport run, full resort amenities, and 24/7 gated security combine into a near-ideal package for retirees and seasonal empty-nesters who want a real house on one level inside a five-star community.
Somewhere in a band driven by your home's specifics: the trailing 12 months saw sales at $1,250,000 and $1,265,500, with the lone active asking $1,150,000, and your story configuration (one or two), lot setting (golf, water, or interior), view, and renovation status determine where you land. Get the data-driven answer at mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation or call Jesse at (239) 898-6072.
Two closed sales: $1,250,000 and $1,265,500 (a median of $1,257,750), with the most recent closing on February 27, 2026, per a live Stellar MLS pull, June 2026. The larger sale was a roughly 2,733-square-foot two-story home. The community around you closed 72 sales at a $1,345,904 median over the same window.
Correctly priced, the data says about two weeks: the two homes that sold ran a median of 14 days on market, among the fastest in the entire community. Mispriced, the answer is months, because in a 37-home neighborhood with one active listing, every buyer and every agent sees a stale listing for exactly what it is. Pricing discipline is the whole game.
Because single-level living is scarce inside Miromar Lakes and St. Moritz is one of the only places to find it. The buyer who needs a one-story home in this community has very few alternatives, so a well-presented single-story St. Moritz home draws a focused, motivated pool. We market that advantage directly to those buyers rather than burying it in generic listing copy.
Season, roughly November through April, brings the deepest pool of physically present buyers, but St. Moritz's scarcity changes the calculus: with only one competing listing, a well-priced home transacts in any month. List when your home shows best and your timeline demands; we will handle generating the demand.
Because your buyer pool is small, specific, and easy to misread. We are Top 1% of real estate agents nationally since 2008, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 (Domain Realty Group), with over $2.5 billion sold, and, more to the point, we work Miromar Lakes constantly, know the one-story-versus-two-story value bands at St. Moritz, and maintain the region's deepest buyer database for exactly this product. A generalist prices the neighborhood; we price your floor plan, your lot, and your single-story advantage.
With a comp model that separates the variables: single-story versus two-story, golf lot versus water lot versus interior, square footage, and renovation status. We do not average two sales into one misleading number. We isolate the comps that actually resemble your home and adjust from there, which is the only honest way to price in a neighborhood this small.
Lead with what buyers pay for: the single-story advantage where you have it, golf-frontage or water-view photography, pool and lanai lifestyle imagery, and clear floor-plan presentation, distributed through the MLS, our national feeder-market channels, and direct outreach to our Miromar Lakes buyer database. Top 1% production since 2008 is built on this kind of targeting, not on yard signs.
Yes. With inventory this scarce, some of the best St. Moritz outcomes happen quietly. We maintain active buyer demand for this neighborhood and regularly transact off-MLS where it serves the seller. Confidential and off-market representation is available; confidential conversations welcome. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
Membership transfer mechanics depend on the membership class you hold and the club's current rules; golf memberships in particular interact with the waitlist. We coordinate directly with the club on every Miromar Lakes listing so the membership picture is documented for buyers up front; it is frequently a selling point worth real money.
Expect an estoppel certificate confirming your fee status, the association documents and disclosures for the buyer, any architectural or HOA approval items, and the CDD assessment details. We stage all of it before contract so sequencing is clean and nothing stalls the closing clock.
Often it helps. Furnished and turnkey sales are common at Miromar Lakes and widen the seasonal-buyer pool, particularly for out-of-state purchasers who want immediate occupancy. Whether your furnishings add value or noise is a case-by-case call we make honestly during the valuation walk-through.
Selectively, if at all. The comp set shows renovated homes commanding the top of the range, but full pre-sale renovations rarely return their cost on a compressed timeline. High-impact, low-drag items, paint, lighting, refreshed landscaping, staging toward the golf or water view, usually win. We will tell you which dollars come back and which do not.
Beyond commission and standard Florida closing costs, you handle the estoppel fee, any association transfer charges, and proration of the CDD line and master dues. As a single-family seller you avoid the sub-association charges the condo and coach-home neighborhoods carry. We model your complete net sheet, current to St. Moritz's actual fee schedule, before you list, so the number you see is the number you net.
Sometimes that is the right answer. Community-wide, leases have closed at about 100% of ask with a median achieved rent near $7,500 per month, and we manage Miromar Lakes homes directly (a direct property-management service, not a referral). We will run the rent-versus-sell analysis with real numbers: carrying costs, the 30-day-minimum rule, association lease limits, and current sale value. Call (239) 898-6072 and we will work it through.
Yes, to a different buyer. Two-story St. Moritz homes appeal to buyers who want more square footage and a separated upstairs and do not need single-level living, and they sit on the same desirable golf and water lots. The February 2026 sale at $1,250,000 was a larger two-story home. We market each configuration to its natural buyer rather than treating the neighborhood as one undifferentiated pool.
Ten minutes: request your valuation at mcgreevyandcomisar.com/home-valuation or call or text Jesse at (239) 898-6072. You will get the comp picture for your exact plan and lot, an honest pricing recommendation, and a marketing plan built for this specific neighborhood, with zero obligation and full confidentiality.
