About the Community

Resort Amenities. New Construction Value.
Prime Estero Location.

Verdana Village is one of Southwest Florida’s most ambitious new construction communities — a master-planned development built by two of the nation’s leading homebuilders, centered around a resort amenity package that is genuinely rare in residential real estate. The centerpiece is a climate-controlled indoor sports complex featuring pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, complemented by a resort lagoon pool, spa, fitness center, and The Shoppes at Verdana, an on-site retail and dining district. The West Village Amenity Center — featuring a second resort pool, lap pool, spa, fitness center, clubhouse, and sports fields — is now open, and an East Village Amenity Center is planned for the future, giving residents three distinct amenity complexes across the community.

Located along Corkscrew Road in Estero, Verdana Village places residents minutes from Miromar Outlets, Hertz Arena, Florida Gulf Coast University, and a short drive to Gulf beaches. RSW International Airport is approximately 20 minutes away — a major draw for frequent flyers and snowbirds alike.

Whether you are seeking a primary residence with an active lifestyle or a new construction investment in one of Florida’s fastest-growing corridors, Verdana Village offers compelling options across villas and single-family homes at multiple price points.

New Construction Buyer Representation

The Single Most Important Thing
You Can Do: Call Us First

The on-site sales teams at Verdana Village work for the builders — not for you. Buyer’s agent representation through The Borg Group costs you nothing (the builder pays our commission) and gives you professional advocacy at every stage of the process. Once you register at the sales office without an agent, you may permanently forfeit your right to representation. Call or email us before your first visit.

Your representation is free to you. Our commission is paid by the builder.

Lot Selection

Not all lots are equal. We help you evaluate premium lot positioning, preserve views, avoid CDD fee traps, and select the lot that will hold the most resale value over time.

Upgrade Negotiation

We know which builder incentives — closing cost credits, design center allowances, and mortgage rate buydowns — are actually available and how to negotiate them effectively on your behalf.

Lender Independence

Builders often incentivize their preferred lender. We help you compare all financing options independently so you understand your true cost — not just the payment the builder presents.

Contract Review

Builder contracts are written to protect the builder. We review every clause, explain your rights and contingencies, and identify provisions that require attention before you sign anything.

Infrastructure & Growth

The Alico Road Extension:
A Game-Changer for Estero

Lee County approved a $26.8 million contract in May 2025 to extend Alico Road westward by approximately 2.5 miles, connecting it through the Corkscrew Road corridor — the exact area where Verdana Village sits. Construction is expected to begin mid-2026 with completion targeted for late 2027 to 2028. This extension will significantly reduce east-west travel times through Estero and directly improve access to and from Verdana Village.

Buyers purchasing now may benefit from appreciation driven by this infrastructure improvement.

Reduced Commute Times

The extension creates a new east-west route that reduces dependence on congested US-41 and Ben Hill Griffin Pkwy, cutting drive times to Fort Myers, RSW, and I-75 south for Verdana residents.

Catalyst for Corridor Growth

Major road infrastructure typically attracts additional commercial and residential development. The Corkscrew – Alico corridor is already one of Lee County’s fastest-growing areas; this extension accelerates that trajectory.

Long-Term Value Driver

Proximity to planned infrastructure improvements is a well-documented factor in residential appreciation. Buyers at Verdana Village today are positioned ahead of the improved connectivity that will make this location even more desirable.

Seller Resources

Thinking About Selling
in Verdana Village?

As Verdana Village matures, a growing resale market is emerging alongside new construction. Original buyers who purchased in early phases are now seeing meaningful equity — and the right marketing strategy makes all the difference between a quick sale and a long wait.

Resale Advantage

Move-In Ready Now

Resale homes in Verdana Village offer buyers something new construction can’t — immediate availability, upgraded landscaping, window treatments, and owner improvements already in place. That’s a real selling point in a community where builders are still delivering.

Pricing Strategy

Competing With Builders

Selling a resale in an active new construction community requires a precise pricing strategy. Buyers will compare your home against builder base prices and available incentives. Positioning your upgrades and move-in-ready advantage correctly is essential to maximizing your net.

Buyer Pool

Active & Qualified

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does using a buyer’s agent at Verdana Village cost me anything? +
No. Buyer’s agent representation is completely free to you at Verdana Village. The builder pays The Borg Group’s commission — it is not added to your purchase price. You receive full professional representation, contract review, negotiation support, and ongoing advocacy at zero cost. The only risk is not having representation at all.
What are the CDD fees at Verdana Village? +
Verdana Village has a Community Development District (CDD). CDD fees are billed as part of your annual property tax notice — they are not a separate monthly HOA charge. The amount varies by home type and lot. Contact us for current estimated CDD fees by product type, as rates can change with each assessment period.
What floor plans are currently available? +
The builders offer multiple floor plans ranging from approximately 1,400 to over 3,400 square feet across villa and single-family collections. Available floor plans, lot inventory, and quick move-in options change frequently as phases are released. Reach out to us for a current list with pricing — we track availability in real time.
What is the flood risk at Verdana Village? +
Verdana Village is located inland along Corkscrew Road, away from tidal flooding risk associated with Gulf-front and waterway-adjacent properties. Most homes in the community fall in favorable flood zones. We recommend reviewing the current FEMA flood map and obtaining a flood elevation certificate for your specific lot — we can assist with this process.
What is the Alico Road extension and how does it affect Verdana Village? +
Lee County approved a $26.8 million contract in May 2025 to extend Alico Road westward through the Corkscrew corridor, with construction expected to begin mid-2026 and targeted completion in 2027–2028. This new east-west road will reduce travel times for Verdana Village residents to Fort Myers, RSW Airport, and I-75 south — and is expected to drive further commercial development and property values in the surrounding area.
Is Verdana Village a good investment property? +
Verdana Village has attracted significant investor interest, and rental demand in the Estero corridor is strong. However, HOA and CDD rules on short-term rentals apply — always review the governing documents before purchasing as an investment. We can walk you through the rental restrictions, estimated rental income ranges, and resale data to help you evaluate the investment case. Contact us for a detailed analysis.
Can I sell my Verdana Village home while the builder is still selling new construction? +
Yes — and it’s more common than you might expect. Resale homes in active new construction communities compete on different terms than builder inventory. Move-in-ready availability, upgraded landscaping, window treatments, and owner improvements are genuine advantages that motivate buyers who don’t want to wait for a build timeline. Pricing strategy is critical — we analyze current builder base prices, available incentives, and resale comps before recommending a list price.
What upgrades add the most value when selling in Verdana Village? +
In a community where buyers can compare your home against builder-standard finishes, upgrades that are visible and functional carry the most weight — extended lanais, private pools, premium flooring, designer kitchens, and whole-home generators. We walk every seller through which improvements to highlight and how to present them against the builder’s current offering.
How do I know what my Verdana Village home is worth with builders still selling nearby? +
The valuation process in an active new construction community requires looking at both resale comps and builder pricing simultaneously. We factor in your home’s phase, lot position, upgrades, and the current builder incentive environment to arrive at a price that’s competitive without leaving money on the table. Contact us for a no-obligation valuation.
