Straight answers
West 1st Street FAQs
Is West 1st Street a good place to live?+
It's a small, water-oriented pocket of Fort Myers that appeals to buyers who value quiet and river access over a big menu of listings. Both active homes are waterfront, and the surrounding area includes established communities like Winkler and Westwood. If you want a settled, low-key setting close to the Caloosahatchee, it fits.
Is West 1st Street expensive?+
It sits in the mid-to-upper range for Fort Myers, with both current listings priced at $649,000 and a median sold price of $615,000 over the past year. At roughly $307 per square foot for a median home of about 2,117 square feet, you're paying for the waterfront setting rather than sheer size.
What do homes cost on West 1st Street?+
Right now the two active listings are both at $649,000, and homes that closed in the last 12 months did so at a median of $615,000. That works out to around $307 per square foot, and sellers have been getting about 95% of their asking price on average.
How is the market here?+
It's a slow, low-volume market—just 2 active listings and 2 sales in the past year, with a median of 106 days on market. That pace means buyers have time to evaluate and negotiate, and you can track new activity on the live map.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect meaningful carrying costs here: the median HOA runs about $1,305 per month and median property taxes are around $11,449 per year. Factor both into your budget alongside the purchase price, especially given the waterfront profile of these homes.
