Newest 55+ Communities in Naples

Valencia Sky is GL Homes' newest 55+ community and one of the closest to Fifth Avenue South and the beaches; it sold more than 50 homes in its first three weeks of sales in early 2025. Valencia Trails, its sister community on Immokalee Road, began construction in 2020 and is now mostly nearly-new resales, which gives buyers a choice between waiting for a new build and moving in now.

Best Value 55+ Living: Del Webb Naples in Ave Maria

Del Webb Naples sits inside the town of Ave Maria, with two clubhouses (the Oasis Club and the Grand Hall) and the optional 18-hole Panther Run golf course. Prices are well below coastal Naples, in exchange for a longer drive to the beaches and downtown.

How to Choose a 55+ Community

  • Location vs price: communities close to the beaches and downtown cost more per square foot than those east of I-75 or in Ave Maria.
  • Golf: bundled golf is included in your fees; optional golf means you pay only if you play. See golf course communities.
  • Total monthly cost: compare HOA, club dues and any CDD assessment together - not just the price.
  • Lifestyle: visit the clubhouse on an activity day, ask for the events calendar and talk with residents.
  • New or resale: new homes include warranties and current designs; resales often include a pool and upgrades and close faster. See builder incentives and quick move-in homes.
  • Not age restricted but popular with retirees: resort-style communities such as Esplanade and the Isles of Collier Preserve are open to all ages.
