East 1st Street runs along the Caloosahatchee near the heart of Fort Myers, where a short list of homes sits within reach of the river and the walkable downtown core. It's a small pocket with real waterfront character, and neighboring communities like Winkler, Whiskey Creek, and Westwood round out the wider area for buyers weighing their options.
The market here is genuinely thin — just two active listings today, both priced at $299,000, so you're choosing from a handful rather than a broad menu. Homes sit a while (median 228 days on market) and sellers have been accepting around 82% of asking, which tells you there's room to negotiate if you find the right fit.

East 1st Street FAQs
Is East 1st Street a good place to live?+
It's a compact, river-adjacent pocket close to downtown Fort Myers, which suits buyers who value location over a large selection of homes. The area feeds South Fort Myers High School and sits near established neighborhoods, so you get an urban-Fort Myers feel with the Caloosahatchee nearby.
Is East 1st Street expensive?+
Not at the entry point — both active listings are priced at $299,000, which is modest for waterfront-adjacent Fort Myers. That said, homes that actually sold over the past year closed at a median of $406,500, so the range depends heavily on the specific property.
What do homes cost on East 1st Street?+
The two current listings are both at $299,000, working out to about $227 per square foot on a median home size of 1,318 square feet. Sold prices have run higher — a median of $406,500 over the last 12 months — which reflects a very small, varied sample.
How is the market right now?+
It's slow and buyer-friendly, with just two active listings and a median 228 days on market. Sellers have been accepting around 82% of asking price, so there's meaningful room to negotiate — check the live map for what's available today.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA here runs about $1,026 per month, which points toward condo or managed-community ownership rather than standalone single-family homes. Property taxes are more modest at a median of $2,837 per year, so factor both into your monthly budget.
