Esplanade at Kingston in Estero, FL — Resort-Style Living by Taylor Morrison

Esplanade at Kingston is the most lifestyle-oriented and hospitality-driven neighborhood within the broader Kingston development. It is not just another section of Kingston — it is the premium resort-lifestyle expression of the entire master plan, and buyers are looking at it before full launch momentum and later-phase pricing take hold.

Premium neighborhoods within large master-planned communities often become the most desirable and expensive pieces of the development once amenities are completed, branding takes hold, and resale premiums emerge. Early buyers often have access to the best lot positions and introductory release pricing, and in communities of this scale the difference between Phase 1 and Phase 3 pricing can be significant. That said, this is the Jack Mancini Team's professional opinion based on prior Corkscrew Corridor buildouts, not a statement of fact — appreciation is not guaranteed.

The surrounding growth story reinforces it: roughly 700,000 sq ft of planned commercial space, the True North Classical Academy school site, and the Corkscrew Road infrastructure expansion all support long-term demand across the development. The full development story lives on the Kingston overview page.

Jack Mancini has walked hundreds of lots across the Corkscrew Corridor and can help identify the strongest positions — preserve views, water views, orientation, and proximity to the amenity campus all affect both initial pricing and long-term resale. The builder pays the buyer agent commission, so expert representation costs you nothing.

Esplanade at Kingston is the Taylor Morrison resort-lifestyle neighborhood within the larger Kingston master plan — the most significant development underway in Estero, Florida. Kingston South covers the broader, multi-builder first-wave opportunity on the south side of Corkscrew Road with homes from Lennar, Pulte, and Neal Communities. This page is about the premium, single-builder lane.

Located on the north side of Corkscrew Road, Esplanade at Kingston is a 660-acre gated enclave expected to include approximately 1,279 residences — single-family homes, twin villas, and condominium-style residences — all built exclusively by Taylor Morrison.

The Esplanade name carries weight because it signals something specific: a hospitality-inspired amenity package, a strong social environment, polished presentation, and a more elevated lifestyle identity than a typical production community. Taylor Morrison has built more than 30 Esplanade communities nationally, including Esplanade Lake Club in Fort Myers and Esplanade by the Islands in Naples — each centered on resort-style pools, wellness facilities, curated social calendars, and dining venues.

It sits in one of Southwest Florida's fastest-growing corridors alongside Verdana Village, The Place at Corkscrew, and Stoneybrook — but offers a distinctly different product: a branded resort-lifestyle experience from a single builder.

Buyers who want a resort-style lifestyle without a golf membership obligation, in an all-ages community with a full social calendar, fitness facilities, dining, and pickleball as part of daily life. For some buyers it may also fit as a long-term investment, depending on goals and timeline.

If you are weighing Esplanade against Kingston South or other Corkscrew Corridor options, Jack can walk you through the differences based on budget, lifestyle, and timing.

The confirmed school site for True North Classical Academy — a tuition-free public charter school ranked among the top 1% in Florida — is another factor drawing long-term interest to the broader Kingston area. The school is expected to serve approximately 3,100 students across a K-12 campus, with a projected opening around 2028 and planned golf cart connectivity directly to the Kingston community.

Even for buyers who may not be purchasing primarily for schools, the school story matters. It signals sustained demand across the Kingston development, which supports long-term property values, community vibrancy, and resale strength.

School timelines, final site details, and development plans may evolve as the project moves forward. Buyers should verify all final information as new announcements are released.

Jack Mancini has been helping buyers purchase homes along Corkscrew Road for more than two decades and has deep experience with Southwest Florida new construction communities.

With more than 475 home sales in Stoneybrook and over 1,100 transactions along the Corkscrew corridor, Jack understands how builders operate and how to help buyers navigate lot selection, floor plans, and upgrade options.

When purchasing new construction, the builder pays the buyer agent commission — meaning expert representation costs you nothing while helping protect your interests throughout the purchase process.
