As of October 2026, Stareco in Fort Myers, FL has 2 homes for sale. As of October 2026, the MLS records 5 closed sales in Stareco in Fort Myers, FL since 2015, the most recent in June 2024. Across Fort Myers as a whole, 12 homes closed in the last 12 months at a median of $345,000, 64 median days on market, with 124 homes for sale today. At that median and Lee County's FY2025-26 rate of 15.97 mills, annual property tax runs about $5,510 ($4,840 with the full homestead exemption).

Stareco is a small, mixed-vintage pocket of Fort Myers — just 60 homes on record, spanning construction from 1930 up through 2024. That range tells the real story: this is not a single-era subdivision with a consistent look and consistent systems. A buyer here is choosing a specific house first, a neighborhood second, because the gap between a nearly century-old structure and a recently built one shows up in everything from wiring to insurance quotes to resale expectations.
With a median year built around 1977 and median living space near 1,616 square feet, the typical home is a modest, mid-century footprint that has likely seen at least one round of updates by now — or is overdue for one. Only about 29% of homes carry a homestead exemption, which points to a meaningful share of non-owner-occupied or investment activity in the mix. For sellers, that means competing listings may be priced and marketed with an investor's math in mind. For buyers, it means doing your own diligence on condition rather than assuming the block sets a baseline.
Figures in this note are as of July 29, 2026. The live market numbers elsewhere on this page update nightly and are newer.
The 60-Second Overview
Stareco is a compact, older-Fort Myers community without a formal amenity package on record — what you're buying is the house and the lot, not a clubhouse or a maintained recreation set, so due diligence should center on the structure itself.
Pre-construction details are compiled from public records, builder announcements and builder listings, and are subject to change without notice; figures are deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Momentum Research figures are our own analysis. This page describes homes, pricing and community attributes, not residents.
Who Stareco is best for.
Best for
- A buyer who wants a stand-alone home and is comfortable underwriting condition house by house.
- An investor evaluating a market where a meaningful share of homes are already non-owner-occupied.
- A buyer prioritizing location in Fort Myers over a shared amenity package.
Probably not for
- A buyer who wants the predictability of a single-era, uniformly built subdivision.
- Someone relying on community amenities like a pool or clubhouse as part of the decision.
- A buyer who wants to skip a close inspection on the assumption that neighboring homes set a reliable condition baseline.

The Stareco buying strategy.
If we were buying in Stareco today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Stareco.
A community defined by vintage spread, not uniformity
The nearly hundred-year build range in Stareco is the single most important fact for anyone evaluating this community. Homes from the 1930s sit on the same rolls as homes finished as recently as 2024. That is not a typical infill pattern — it suggests a neighborhood that has been quietly rebuilt and replaced lot by lot over decades rather than developed all at once. Practically, this means two houses on the same street can have almost nothing in common structurally: different foundations, different eras of electrical and plumbing codes, different flood and wind mitigation standards.
The homestead share sitting under 30% is worth sitting with. In a community this size, that ratio suggests a real presence of rental or investment-held property alongside owner-occupied homes. That can affect how quickly a listing sells, how it's marketed, and how much weight to put on any single comparable sale. With no community amenities identified from current MLS data, there's no shared pool, gate, or clubhouse subsidizing value — the case for any given home in Stareco has to be made on the house and the lot alone.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Stareco. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
Why work with Momentum here
A community with a near-century build spread and no shared amenities is exactly the kind of market where a generic comp pull leads you astray. We look at each Stareco listing on its own construction era, condition, and occupancy signal rather than leaning on a neighborhood average that doesn't really apply to any single house.

What it really costs to own in Stareco
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from the tax roll, the MLS, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| Property tax | Current owners' bills run a median of $3,790/yr across 4 listings here (MLS tax records, 2026-10-20). |
|---|---|
| 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 depend on roof age, wind mitigation and construction. |
| Roof and age | Median build year 1981 across 4 listings. An original roof here would be about 45 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report, and for replacement where it fails. |
