In the 2026 Fort Myers Market Reset, buyers are moving away from traditional “suburban” layouts and toward “Social-Centric” living. Paseo is the gold standard for this shift. Located in the South Fort Myers corridor, Paseo is world-renowned for its award-winning “Village Center”—a multi-million dollar amenity hub that feels more like a 5-star Mediterranean resort than a neighborhood.

Why the Ellis Team Recommends Paseo in 2026
Paseo offers one of the widest ranges of price points in South Fort Myers. From the unique “Casitas” (which offer single-family privacy with condo convenience) to the massive custom estates in the Esperanza subdivision, Paseo is a “Life Cycle” community.
While Paseo is an established favorite, it competes strongly with New SW Florida Construction because of its unique architectural flair and “walkable” resort design. If you love the high-amenity lifestyle of Paseo but are specifically looking for a 55+ environment, you may also want to explore Pelican Preserve just down the road.
Expert Insight: In our recent analysis of 14,090 Lee County sales, Paseo remains a “Low Inventory” leader. Because owners rarely want to leave the resort lifestyle, staying ahead of “pocket listings” is essential. [Contact the Ellis Team for the Paseo Insider List]. 239-489-4042

Casitas are a unique Pulte-built product in Paseo. They are detached residences that live like single-family homes but are maintained as condos. This means you get a private driveway and exterior, but the HOA handles all the exterior maintenance and landscaping—perfect for ‘lock-and-leave’ 2026 owners.
No. The Village Center and all resort amenities are exclusive to Paseo residents and their guests. This ensures the privacy and ‘resort feel’ that home values in 33912 rely on
Yes. Paseo is a 24-hour guarded, gated community, providing the security and peace of mind expected in a premier Fort Myers luxury development
