Over the past year, we’ve seen the inventory of homes for sale in Naples decrease. For home buyers, the decreased inventory has two immediate implications:

First: If you’re interested in purchasing an existing home or condominium, you’ll want to work very closely with your Realtor to be sure to keep an eye out for listings that meet your criteria, 

and

Second: You’ll want to explore what Naples offers in new construction. Which, by the way, is plenty!

The construction slump has ended, as a quick drive around Naples reveals. Over twenty new developments are under construction in Naples. Each new community offers its own mix of features and amenities, but here are a few that are worthy of your consideration. 

 Treviso Bay: You’ve probably seen the striking entry off Tamiami Trail east of Airport-Pulling Rd. Let’s head over the bridge and see what this great community offers home buyers. First, as the old saying goes, Location! Location! Location! Treviso Bay is located just five miles from Fifth Avenue South, along East Tamiami Trail. The development is close to the county government complex, shopping, and minutes from beaches. Treviso Bay offers the best in golf, with its PGA Tour’s acclaimed TPC course. Homes in Treviso Bay are rich in amenities. Floor plans include a mix of estate homes, luxury coach homes, villas, and condominiums. 

The Isles of Collier Preserve: Another new development under construction along the East Trail (US 41 east of the Courthouse complex), The Isles of Collier Preserve will provide residents with wonderful community “neighbors” including the Collier County Museum, the Naples Botanical Gardens, Sugden Regional Park, and Rookery Bay Preserve. Coach homes and single family residences feature classic coastal style design, and the community is carefully designed to protect its rural surroundings. A private marina offers deep water access to the Gulf of Mexico - a delight for fisherman and boaters. 

Lakoya at Lely Resort: Located near the intersection of US41 and Collier Blvd., follow the dramatic entrance road to Lely Resort and Golf and Country Club. One of several distinctive neighborhoods within the Lely Resort, Lakoya is an exclusive community of single family homes with a private gated entrance, classical gardens, Italian-inspired fountains and elegant paved walking paths. If you are looking for a sophisticated lifestyle in an all-inclusive community, Lakoya is worth a look. Lely Resort and Gofl and Country Club offers a full array of amenities including three championship golf courses, tennis, dining, community activities, spa and fitness center.  

Lantana at Olde Cypress: Lantana is the newest (and final) phase of the well-established Olde Cypress development in North Naples. Close to shopping, with easy access to I-75, Lantana offers a limited number of single family homes nestled along the Olde Cypress Golf Course and natural preserves. Watch the beautiful Naples sunsets, listen to the birds, and enjoy the quiet of this North Naples location from your lanai, or enjoy the newly-refurbished Olde Cypress Clubhouse. Lantana offers 3 and 4 bedroom floor plans by noted builder Stock Development. 

Esplanade Golf and Country Club: One of the newest on the Naples scene is Esplanade, located just west of Immokalee Rd. and Collier Blvd. Here, you’ll be close to schools and community amenities while enjoying your new home and all that Esplanade offers. Championship golf is already available on the golf course; future plans include a community learning center, swim center with lap pool, pro shop, and more. In addition to the golf course, you'll enjoy over 1000 acres of nature preserve, wetlands, and lakes. Tour the seven model homes currently open for viewing, and learn more about Esplanade.
