The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
Estimate unavailable for this home right now. The Messtimate is a deliberately simple range — living area × recent closed-sale $/sq ft from comparable homes nearby — and it only renders when we can match at least 3 comparable closed sales from the last 18 months to this home. We could not assemble that set for this page today, so no dollar range is shown. It is not an appraisal or a valuation.
Want a property-specific value review? A licensed Momentum Realty agent can prepare a free comparative market analysis using the home, the lot, its condition, and the live market.
Methodology: the range would be 1,409 sq ft × the interquartile $/sq ft of comparable closed sales (same property type, living area within 30%, closed within 18 months, nearest verified subdivision, 3-mile, then 10-mile same-county stage). Estimate for general information only; never an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated November 12, 2026.

The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
Property tax
The current owner's bill is $385/yr per the MLS listing record (TaxAnnualAmount, 2026-11-12). Florida reassesses at sale, so a buyer's first bill is usually higher than the seller's; the county millage here is not verified, so no reset figure is printed.
Home and flood insurance
The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Lee County is $2,197/yr (6,508 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $500–$1,500/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone X, outside the high-risk zone; flood insurance is optional but most lenders and insurers recommend it. Statewide, a zone X flood policy runs about $500–$700/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote).
Roof and age
Built in 2025. A newer roof and current wind-mitigation features usually mean the lower end of insurance quotes; ask for the wind-mitigation form.
Estimated ownership costs
Estimated costs & disclosures
Estimated ownership costs for general information. Confirm each with the county, your lender, and an insurer. See data & estimate notes.
Property tax (first-year est.)
~$2,886/yr
Estimate: a typical Lee effective rate applied to the list price before any exemptions. Florida bills change with reassessment, homestead and other exemptions, and local taxing districts — this is not your expected bill. Confirm with the county property appraiser.
CDD assessment
Not reported
The MLS listing does not report a CDD amount. Many Florida communities have one; it shows on the county tax bill — confirm with the tax collector or the listing agent.
Insurance (illustrative range)
$500–$2k/yr
An illustrative modeled range, not based on carrier underwriting and not a quote. Florida premiums vary significantly by roof age, wind-mitigation features, claims history, and carrier — a real quote can land well outside this range. Flood insurance not federally mandated (Zone X). Get a quote from a licensed insurer before relying on any figure.
HOA
Not reported
Not stated in the listing. Confirm with the listing agent or the county record; $0 is used in the payment estimate.
Environmental data
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
FEMA flood zone
Zone X
From the FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer. In this zone lender-required flood insurance is generally not mandated; confirm for the parcel.
Ground elevation

Approximate parcel elevation from USGS; confirm exact elevation with a survey.
Windstorm / insurance
Obtain a quote
Lee County is on the Florida coast; wind coverage is a major part of the premium. Premiums and coverage vary by home (roof age, wind mitigation, claims history); obtain a quote from a licensed insurer.

Sale of 11.4-mile rail corridor for Bonita Estero Rail Trail nears closing
Estero, Bonita Springs and Collier County are set to buy the Seminole Gulf Railway corridor for $60 million, with closing expected by Jan. 14, 2027. Soil testing found elevated arsenic and hydrocarbons that consultants say can be managed with engineering controls. The corridor is planned as the multiuse Bonita Estero Rail Trail.
Why it matters: A continuous trail through Estero and Bonita Springs would add a walking and biking route connecting residential areas to shopping and regional trails. The site is about 8 miles southwest of Lehigh Estates.
Whataburger opened its second Southwest Florida restaurant at 22927 Lyden Drive in Estero, across U.S. 41 from Coconut Point. The restaurant seats 158 and employs about 80 people. It is open daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Why it matters: Adds a late-hours dining option and roughly 80 jobs near the Coconut Point retail area. The project is about 8 miles southwest of Lehigh Estates, elsewhere in Lee County.
Walmart Supercenter planned on State Road 82 across from Lehigh Acres
Casto is developing a roughly 60-acre center on the south side of SR 82 between Parkdale and Jaguar boulevards, anchored by a 175,000 sq ft Walmart Supercenter that bought 18.43 acres for $23.9 million. Tenants include McDonald's, Panda Express, Taco Bell and AutoZone. Walmart is expected to break ground in September with an opening around end of 2027 or early 2028.
Why it matters: Would bring large-format shopping and fuel closer to Lehigh Acres households that currently drive farther for retail. The project is about 8 miles northeast of Lehigh Estates, elsewhere in Lee County.
Audubon and Cameratta settle lawsuit over 10,000-home Kingston community
Audubon and Cameratta Companies settled a federal suit over the Kingston permit; Cameratta will buy about 98 acres off Carter Road and give up a 100-foot easement for a road through Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary. Kingston covers about 6,700 acres in eastern Lee County, with first model homes expected within about two months.
Why it matters: Removes a legal obstacle to a master-planned community of about 10,000 homes east of Estero, and rules out a road link into Collier County through the sanctuary. The site is about 9 miles southeast of Lehigh Estates.

FEMA flood zone X: flood insurance is not usually required, but get a quote anyway — FEMA reports roughly one in four flood claims come from outside high-risk zones.
Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Lee County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 1242 Echard ST E and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 1242 Echard ST E was built in 2025 and has 1,409 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 1242 Echard ST E in?
1242 Echard ST E is in Lehigh Estates in Lehigh Acres, Lee County. Too few comparable closed sales exist nearby for this page to show local sales statistics; a licensed agent can prepare a comparative market analysis.
Why might property taxes on 1242 Echard ST E differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $2,886 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 1242 Echard ST E in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone X, outside the special flood hazard area, so flood insurance is not usually required by a lender. It is still available and worth quoting; confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
