  So many great things to say about this place! I have never met a more supportive and helpful staff when it comes to all things with apartment living. They truly go above and beyond to provide residents with the best experience. I’m so happy to get to be here another year!

  Highly recommend speaking to Stephanie in the leasing office before making your decision on where to live. She answered all of our questions, got back to us quickly, and was a big part in making the leasing process less strenuous. Although a new member of the Evergreen Estero team (something I recently learned), her ability to adapt gives an established and proficient perspective. Again, find Stephanie.

  Stephanie Myers has been an absolute legend throughout the whole process of securing my new apartment. Answering every question with clarity, supporting each moment of anxiety with care, and ensuring that each i was dotted, t was crossed, ahead of the big day. I'm so sincerely looking forward to thanking her in person and living at Evergreen Estero!!

  I’m a resident at Estero Oaks and I wanted to share how amazing Aline the property manager is! She’s been a great help with everything and I highly recommend you go to her for any questions you have living here!

  Just here to corroborate some of the more recent reviews. My husband and I have been renters at Estero Oaks since July 2019 and are coming up on 7 years. We have appreciated our mostly quiet unit. Any maintenance issues have always been addressed quickly, parking has never been an issue, and we have enjoyed perks like free coffee and free printing. Aside from the usual rule-breaking residents who speed, smoke (this is a non-smoking property), or leave dog poop on the sidewalk, it has all been something I can live with. Fast forward to October 2025. Over the years there have been several management switchovers, all of which, from a resident's point of view, transitioned seamlessly. They were generally rational, made small improvements, and mostly continued business as usual. Office staff have always been very nice, though there has been a lot of turnover (we're lucky to still have Taylor though!). In October 2025 the property was purchased and placed under new management, and it's quite clear this has been a difficult transition based on all these recent negative reviews. As for the smattering of recent positive reviews, take those with a grain of salt. Many appear to be from people who simply went on a tour and (only my guess) are trying to get some move-in discount in exchange for a good review. For some additional context to other reviews, here is what happened during our recent renewal period. It is true that renewal offers were sent out giving some residents only three weeks to attempt to negotiate, shop around, and make a decision. It is also true that despite it being well known that rents in this region are inflated and have been and continue to drop, management released all renewals at residents' current rates, often $300+ more than what units were being rented for within the same complex, plus a new $34 per month "community service fee." When we asked about concessions, we were told the higher-ups were not open to negotiation and that if we wanted a lower rate, we could move out or switch units. Three weeks later, after what I presume was a wave of angry residents and others who simply chose to leave, we received an unprompted email with an offer. It was essentially: sign your new lease within 24 hours and we will give you a $1,000 concession. Fine, great, better than nothing. We renewed our lease for 14 months and then plan to move to one of the many new apartments still being built in the area. What I do not appreciate is this new upper management treating residents so poorly, using hardball tactics with an exploding offer, and showing through this process that they are coercive or maybe just really bad at business? I can only assume this will not result in good ownership and that the complex will be run like a slumlord property. All that to say, this complex could still be a good option for students who can move in and out and are simply looking for move-in specials, as any good money-saving student should. I believe it is no longer a great fit for anyone looking to rent long term or for those who do not like being bullied. Additional word of caution: I would not recommend living here if you need to commute south on Three Oaks Parkway in the morning. Traffic is awful along the stretch to Corkscrew Road and will only get worse as new apartment complexes open further up the road. If you're an FGCU student, it's very difficult to get into the left turn lane during morning rush hour.
