If you’re considering new construction in Estero, Verdana Village continues to be one of the communities worth watching.
Located along Corkscrew Road, approximately six miles east of I-75, Verdana Village is a large gated master-planned community combining new homes, resort-style amenities, shopping, dining and extensive natural preserves within more than 2,100 acres.
And as we enter September 2026, buyers have several interesting opportunities to consider.
🏡 New Homes Are Still Available
Both Pulte Homes and Lennar are actively selling new construction in Verdana Village.
Pulte currently advertises homes starting around $412,990, with floor plans ranging from approximately 1,405 to more than 5,300 square feet.
Lennar currently shows pricing in Verdana Village ranging from approximately $355,999 to $635,999, depending on the collection, floor plan and homesite.
That range gives buyers several different entry points into the community, from smaller low-maintenance homes to larger family residences.
🔑 Quick Move-In Opportunities for September
One of the most interesting things right now is the amount of near-term inventory.
Pulte currently has several homes scheduled for September 2026 completion, including:
- A 2-bedroom, 2-bath Contour around $433,255
- A 3-bedroom, 3-bath Mystique around $594,300
- A 3-bedroom, 3-bath home available now around $569,300
Pricing and availability can change, but this means buyers who don’t want to wait months for construction may have options available relatively soon.
Lennar is also showing active inventory, including homes such as a 4-bedroom Trevi around $509,999 and other available residences within the community.
📊 What Recent Sales Tell Us
Recent activity also shows that buyers are still closing on new and resale homes inside Verdana Village.
For example, a 4-bedroom home on Gentry Place sold for $480,000 on August 26, while a newer 5-bedroom property on Cedar Mill Place sold for approximately $685,000 on August 27.
Those sales illustrate something important: Verdana Village is no longer just a future development. It now has a growing resale market alongside builder inventory.
That can be valuable for buyers because it creates more opportunities to compare new construction versus resale homes within the same community.
🌴 The Amenities Are a Major Part of the Lifestyle
Verdana Village stands out because its amenity package is unusually extensive.
The main amenity complex includes a resort-style pool and spa, fitness center, movement studio, dog park, playground, bocce, restaurants and recreational spaces.
One of its most distinctive features is the sports complex, which includes indoor basketball, volleyball, tennis and pickleball, along with outdoor tennis and pickleball courts.
Lennar currently markets Verdana Village as having Florida’s only community amenity setup featuring both indoor pickleball and indoor tennis courts.
For buyers who prioritize an active lifestyle, that can be a significant differentiator.
🏊 West Village Amenities Are Now Open
Another important development is that the West Village Amenity Center is already open.
It includes its own clubhouse, fitness center, gathering spaces, resort-style pool and spa, picnic pavilion and sports field.
Verdana Village is divided into West Village and East Village neighborhoods, and the community website currently lists the East Village Amenity Center as “Coming Soon.”
That means the amenity infrastructure is continuing to expand as the eastern portion of the community develops.
🍽️ You Can Eat Without Leaving the Community
Verdana Village also offers something many gated communities don’t: multiple dining options inside the community.
Residents can enjoy:
Drift Restaurant, The Craft Lounge, and Paradise Pool Bar, along with café options around the sports complex.
That contributes to the resort-style atmosphere and makes the community feel more like a lifestyle destination than simply a residential neighborhood.
🛒 Everyday Conveniences Are Right Outside
The development also benefits from The Shoppes at Verdana Village, a Publix-anchored commercial area close to the residential neighborhoods.
The larger community plan is designed around combining housing with nearby shopping and services, reducing the need to travel far for everyday necessities.
One notable upcoming addition is Lee Health, which Verdana Village announced in May 2026 is coming to The Shoppes at Verdana Village.
For residents, having healthcare, groceries and dining close to home adds another layer of convenience.
📍 Why the Estero Location Works
Verdana Village sits along the rapidly growing Corkscrew Road corridor, approximately six miles east of I-75.
From the community, residents have convenient access to destinations such as:
- Miromar Outlets
- Coconut Point
- Gulf Coast Town Center
- Florida Gulf Coast University
- Southwest Florida International Airport
- Naples and Fort Myers
- Gulf Coast beaches
The location is especially attractive for buyers who want new construction but still want access to both the Naples and Fort Myers areas.
🌳 A Community Built Around Nature
Despite its size, Verdana Village was planned with significant natural preservation.
The development encompasses more than 2,100 acres and incorporates lakes, preserves, native vegetation and environmental restoration areas throughout the community.
That gives many homes either lake or preserve views, while helping create more separation between neighborhoods and recreational spaces.
💡 What Buyers Should Consider
Verdana Village has a lot to offer, but buyers should still compare the details carefully.
Before purchasing, it’s important to look at the specific builder, homesite premium, HOA structure, potential CDD costs, included upgrades and incentives.
The price difference between two seemingly similar homes can sometimes come down to the lot, view, upgrades or builder incentives rather than simply the floor plan.
It’s also worth comparing builder inventory with resale properties, because both are now available within Verdana Village.
Is Verdana Village Worth Considering in 2026?
For buyers looking for new construction in Estero, Verdana Village offers a combination that is difficult to replicate: modern homes, extensive sports facilities, multiple pools, restaurants, shopping nearby and convenient access to the rest of Southwest Florida.
And with both builder inventory and resale homes now available, buyers have more ways to enter the community than they did during its earlier development stages.
As Verdana Village continues expanding through 2026, the upcoming East Village amenities and additional commercial services will be important developments to watch.
