55+ Communities in Naples and Southwest Florida
By Glen Bigness, Realtor, Premiere Plus Realty. Updated November 15, 2026. Call or text 239-272-4663.
Southwest Florida has some of the best active adult living in the country: resort clubhouses, pickleball and golf, social calendars, and new homes built for single-level living. Some communities are age-restricted (at least one resident 55 or older, under federal housing rules), and many more are age-targeted, built with active adults in mind but open to all ages. Here is how the main options compare.
Age-restricted 55+ communities near Naples
- Valencia Trails (Naples, 34120): a newer GL Homes community off Immokalee Road with a large clubhouse and resort amenities. About 37 homes were listed in mid-November 2026, from about $690,000 to $2.25 million.
- Del Webb Naples (Ave Maria): a Del Webb community inside the town of Ave Maria, with its own amenities plus the town square, university and golf nearby. About 60 age-restricted listings in Ave Maria in mid-November 2026, from about $220,000 to $1.15 million.
- Riviera Golf Estates (Naples): an established, resale-only 55+ community with lower price points.
55+ communities in Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers
- Valencia Bonita (Bonita Springs): GL Homes 55+ community with a large clubhouse and resort amenities.
- Tidewater by Del Webb (Estero): single-family homes and villas on Corkscrew Road.
- Cascades at Estero (Estero): resale-only 55+ community with moderate prices.
- Pelican Preserve (Fort Myers): large 55+ golf community with condos, villas and homes.
- Del Webb Oak Creek (North Fort Myers): newer 55+ community north of the river.
Popular age-targeted communities (all ages welcome)
Many active adults choose communities that aren't age-restricted but have a strong adult social life: Pelican Marsh, Island Walk, VeronaWalk, Fiddler's Creek, Treviso Bay and the bundled-golf Esplanade communities. See Naples golf communities for bundled golf options.

What to compare before you choose
- HOA and club fees: what they include (lawn care, cable, golf, social programs) and any capital contribution at closing.
- Location and drive times: to beaches, downtown Naples, doctors and the airport. Eastern communities like Ave Maria are quieter and less expensive; western ones are closer to the Gulf.
- New vs resale: new homes offer builder warranties and incentives; resales offer established landscaping and quicker move-in. See builder incentives.
- Insurance and taxes: newer construction often insures for less. If this will be your primary residence, read what Amendment 3 means for buyers.
- Rules: age requirements, guest stays by younger family, pet and rental limits.

Frequently asked questions
What does 55+ age-restricted mean?
Under federal housing rules, at least 80% of occupied homes in a qualifying community must have at least one resident 55 or older. Each community sets its own rules for younger residents and guests.
What is the newest 55+ community in Naples?
Valencia Trails (Naples, 34120) has been building since about 2020. In Ave Maria, Del Webb Naples continues to add homes.
Can I rent out a home in a 55+ community?
Many communities limit rentals by length or number per year. Check the documents before you buy.
