The opportunities West of 41 are an example of one of the oldest real estate laws of investing . . . Location, Location, and Location! Since this area borders the beautiful coastline of the Gulf of Mexico, it was the first area to be developed in what is called Naples, and has the best home sites available in all of Southwest Florida!

Port Royal

Port Royal was the First area to profit from the perfect location on the Intercoastal Waterway. Single-family home sites in this area have skyrocketed from 1994 prices of $400,000-$600,000 for a home site on the Intercoastal to over $6-8,000,000 in 2002! At this time, any home built prior to 1990 is subject to being demolished and then replaced with a new structure 2-3 times the original size. Beachfront property on the Gulf Of Mexico has sold for as much as $30 Million dollars!

Aqualane Shores

Approximately 370 home sites, most of which are waterfront, comprise the unique, palm lined streets of Aqualane shores at the south end of town. Ideally situated between the elegance of Port Royal and the ambience of Olde Naples, the area offers a quiet setting where deep-water canals entice large boat owners, with some crafts in the eighty-foot range.

The streets are doted with a variety of home styles, most built in the 1960’s and 70’s now expanded, renovated to modern standards, or in most cases razed and a totally new residence constructed. Aqualane Shores borders on the Third Street shopping district. Even more important, the beach is within walking or bicycling distance of every residence in the area.

Olde Naples

Olde Naples, a charming area characterized by hundreds of coconut palms with each street ending at the beach, is truly a unique neighborhood. The vintage homes in the area vary from turn-of-the-century to the present date, and architectural styles reflect this variety of time periods. Zoning regulations do not permit any condominiums on the beach. The exclusive shopping district of 5th Avenue South has many boutiques, galleries, fine restaurants and has an atmosphere of the envy of Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills, California.

The Moorings and Coquina Sands

The Moorings and Coquina Sands areas are centrally located, stretching from US 41 to the Gulf of Mexico. Much of the area is waterfront, especially in the Moorings, with boat docks and shimmering views of both single-family homes and condominiums.

These neighborhoods were primarily built in the 1960’s and 70’s, and exude a quite elegance befitting a premier lifestyle. The streets are lined with ficus, banyan and palm trees, and neatly manicured lawns are in abundance. Architectural styles are dominated by the traditional Florida Designs, and many older homes have undergone renovation or complete reconstruction in recent years, as land value has steadily increased. Every home in neighboring Coquina Sands is within walking distance of the beach and gulf-front Lowdermilk Park.

Park Shore

Park Shore is an immaculate, prestigious community located between the Gulf of Mexico and US 41, with inland and waterfront homes and condominiums as well as excellent shopping and dining facilities, including the breathtaking Venetian Village. Most of the condominiums are located on the Gulf or Venetian Bay. Marina facilities are located directly on the waterfront, and residents of the area have private entry in addition to several beach access points. Landscaping in all areas of Park Shore is extensive and well manicured, reflecting the elegance of this neighborhood.

Royal Harbor

Located on the South side of 41 just East of Port Royal on the Bay of Naples, Royal Harbor offers some of the best water front properties in the area. Deep canals suited for the sail boats and power boats make this a boater’s haven. Streets are named for local marine life.

Predominately a full-time single family residential family community makes Royal Harbor truly special. Like the other waterfront communities Royal Harbor is being re-built from the ground up. Modest homes built in the 1960’s and 70’s are making way for the fabulous new homes that make Naples so special. In close proximity to Route 41 and the Gordon River Bridge, Royal Harbor is just minutes from the shops at 5th Ave, Tin City, and Bay Front.

Vanderbilt Beach

The furthest North of the Naples waterfront communities is nestled between the Ritz Carlton on the South and Delnor Wiggins State Park at the North. All of the homes are located on canal front properties along Vanderbilt Drive to the East and Gulf Shore Drive to the West just one block from the beach. Although a part of Collier County Vanderbilt projects the same atmosphere as the waterfront neighborhoods in the City of Naples.

Hidden from the crowds and traffic of Route 41 to the East by the community of Naples Park makes Vanderbilt a community that can be missed by those not familiar with the area. The result is a quiet private waterfront area close to the new shopping centers and the growth along Immokalee Rd.

Estate Areas
Pine Ridge, Livingston Woods, Logan Woods, and Oakes Boulevard

Formerly zoned agricultural, the Luxury Estate Areas of Pine Ridge, Livingston Woods, Logan Woods, and Oakes Boulevard require 2½ acre lots. Large Country estates, many with guest homes have replaced more modest homes. Zoned for horses, many homes have stables and there are some with private polo grounds and Arabian farms.

Gated Communities

North – Collier’s Reserve, Pelican Marsh, Bay Colony, Tiburon
Central – Pelican Bay, Grey Oaks
South – Fiddlers Creek
East – Quail West, Quail Creek, Olde Cypress, Twin Eagles
