West 1st Street runs along the Caloosahatchee near downtown Fort Myers, and the small pocket of homes here trades on its waterfront position. Every active listing here is a waterfront property, which tells you what this address is really about — river views and proximity to the historic downtown core. If you want a foothold near the water without the sprawl of the outer suburbs, this is a compact, deliberate choice among Fort Myers homes for sale.
The market here is thin and priced with intent: just two active listings, both at $649,000, and only three homes have sold in the past year at a median of $615,000. Sellers are getting about 94% of asking and homes take a median of 106 days to move, so buyers have room to negotiate and time to be selective. For comparison shopping, it's worth looking at nearby communities like Winkler, Whiskey Creek, and Verandah, then narrowing on the live map.

Straight answers
West 1st Street FAQs
Is West 1st Street a good place to live?+
It's a small waterfront pocket near downtown Fort Myers, so it suits buyers who want river access and proximity to the city center over suburban space. Both current listings are waterfront, and the area is assigned to schools including South Fort Myers High School. It's a deliberate, low-density choice rather than a large master-planned community.
Is West 1st Street expensive?+
It sits in the upper-mid range for Fort Myers, with both active listings at $649,000 and a median $/sqft of $307. The three homes sold in the past year closed at a median of $615,000, so pricing is consistent but reflects the waterfront premium.
What do homes cost on West 1st Street?+
Right now both active homes are listed at $649,000, with a median home size around 2,117 square feet. Recent sales came in at a $615,000 median, and sellers are averaging 94% of their asking price — a sign there's negotiating room here. You can compare the current listings against nearby Westwood for context.
How is the market on West 1st Street?+
It's slow-moving and low-inventory, with just two active listings and three sales in the past twelve months. The median 106 days on market and 94% sale-to-list ratio mean buyers have time and leverage, so patience pays off here.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $1,305 per month, which is on the higher side and typically reflects waterfront or building-maintained amenities. Property taxes have a median around $11,449 per year, so factor both into your monthly budget alongside the purchase price.
