  • Changes in Naples

The Naples and Southwest Florida real estate market includes traditional Florida single family home neighborhoods, high rise communities, golf communities, homes on acreage (Golden Gate Estates),and many more types. The area consists of over 1,000 separate neighborhoods and communities.

Most residents of Naples live within either a homeowners association or a condo association. If you are thinking about buying in Naples, you should have an understanding on how these associations are controlled, organized and managed.

Much of the Naples Florida area is comprised of gated developments. Neighborhoods not within an association or a gated community. are usually the older single family home neighborhoods, built in the 60s, 70s and 80s, and are located on traditional system of North-South and East-West streets.


                                                             Golf Communities

Many Naples communities have a golf course within. But just because you live within a community that has a golf course, doesn't mean you have any connection with it. They are private clubs, and to play you need to join. In some communities, such as Naples "bundled" golf communities, every owner within is a member to the club.

A large number of our developments are Golf Course Communities. Some excellent designers have 'carved' a place in the sun. They include; Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, Arnold Palmer, Arthur Hills, Tom Fazio, Robert Trent Jones, Sr., Joe Lee, and many, many more. In fact, we have more courses per capita than any area in the world. Some of the most popular Naples golf communities include Audubon Country Club, The Vineyards, Lely Resort, Imperial Golf Estates, Talis Park, Wyndemere Country Club, Naples Lakes Country Club and Stonebridge Country Club to name a few. 


As local real estate professionals it would be our pleasure to assist you in finding not only the ideal course, but also the perfect home or condo for you and your family. A real estate transaction in a golf course community is much more complex than that of a standard home. Please allow us to use our knowledge and experience in Naples golf communities to your benefit.

Naples Beach Communities
Picture
Naples beach communities include Olde Naples, Coquina Sands, the Moorings, Park Shore, Naples Cay, Pelican Bay, Bay Colony, Vanderbilt Beach and Barefoot. In most case only a portion of the residents within these neighborhoods are on the beach, but other residents within these communities are either a short walk, bike or drive away.
A stretch of single family homes on the beach is located towards the southern end of the Naples beach. The beachfront lots that these homes sit on are worth millions of dollars. Homes range in age from the 1960s, to those recently built; replacing teardowns.
Elegant homes on larger beachfront lots have sold in excess of $20 million.
A few single family homes also exist on Vanderbilt Beach and also on Barefoot Beach at the very northern end of the Naples area.


                                                Naples Beach Condo Communities


The majority of beach housing is represented by mid-rise and high-rise condos. Examples of areas in Naples with condos on the beach or within a short walk include:
  • Moorings - A portion of the Moorings neighborhood is located on a barrier island where condo residents have either direct access to the beach or to a bay with gulf access. The Moorings is one of the earliest areas to develop beach and bay condos.
  • Park Shore Area - A portion of the Park Shore area is also situated on the same stretch of beach within the City of Naples, as the Moorings. Park Shore is newer, with its most recent built high rise being completed in 2006 Beach residents here are conveniently located to Venetian Village with fine dining, shops, pubs, coffee shop, etc. 
  • Pelican Bay - Is located north of the Park Shore area. A half mile wide mangrove preserve separates the beach from the community. But, the beach is accessible through a boardwalk system, that is also serviced by a tram for residents only. 
  • Vanderbilt Beach - Located north of Pelican Bay. Similar to the Park Shore area, you are either on the beach or a short walk to the beach. In the area is also Vanderbilt Beach County Park and Delnor-Wiggins State Park.


Boating Communities

Homes on bays or cannels, with gulf access also represent some of the most expensive properties in Naples. Their value is determined on the location, and then the value of the building. Some of the owners in condo buildings that are located on bays also have boat docks.

Port Royal
Port Royal is the most elegant waterfront community in Naples.  While some of Port Royal is situated on the beach most of it is on the inland waterway.  Residents of Port Royal enjoy quick access to the Gulf as well as large lot frontages. The many docks on the deep canals can embrace boats and yachts of many sizes, ranging from 10 to over 100 feet in length.

Aqualane Shores 
Aqualane Shores sits adjacent to the Third Street shopping district with restaurants and plentiful shopping opportunities.  This upscale boating community has approximately 350 home sites, most of which are waterfront with Gulf access.

Moorings
The Moorings neighborhood  is centrally located with  most of its elegant single family homes on the water. The area includes many mid-rise waterfront and beach condominiums that offers stunning views of the water. 

Royal Harbor
Royal Harbor offers boaters direct access to beautiful Naples Bay, the inland waterway and the Gulf of Mexico.  This area consists of  approximately 400 waterfront single-family home sites. 

Park Shore
Park Shore is a premier Naples neighborhood located between the Gulf of Mexico and US 41.  It features waterfront condominiums and homes, as well as first class shopping and dining. 

Bonita Bay

Bonita Bay is surrounded by water and provides stunning views of creeks,  marshes, and Estero Bay which opens into the Gulf. The Marina Club at Bonita Bay was the first in Lee County to earn the “Clean Marina” designation from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

Pelican Isle
Pelican Isle offers some of the most luxurious condominiums.  Membership to The Pelican Isle Yacht Club includes group yachting events, planned boating excursions, canoeing and kayaking.  The community is beautifully located on the Cocohattchee River, which allows swift access to the Gulf of Mexico.

Vanderbilt Beach
Port Royal is the most elegant waterfront community in Naples.  While some of Port Royal is situated on the beach most of it is on the inland waterway.  Residents of Port Royal enjoy quick access to the Gulf as well as large lot frontages. The many docks on the deep canals can embrace boats and yachts of many sizes, ranging from 10 to over 100 feet in length. 

Barefoot Beach
The Barefoot Beach Club offers a truly relaxing and graceful lifestyle for its residents and members. Club amenities include a gatehouse, heated pool and spa, exercise room, boat docks, restaurant facilities, tennis courts and a stunning view of beautiful Gulf sunsets.

Estate Home Communities

There are several estate home communities away from the beach and bays. These are very lush and upscale areas. These homes while expensive, would have a much lower value than a similar home on the beach or bays.

Affordable Communities

The most affordable single family home and condo communities would be a distance away from the beach if newer. If they are located within a couple of miles to the beach, then they would have been built as modest homes in the 1970s or 1980s. Most of the more affordable communities would have a high percentage of local workforce residents.
