Great Naples New Home Communities
When considering Southwest Florida as a place to live, there are plenty of residential options, including many older homes as well as new construction, including great Naples communities. What should you look for in a new home community, and how do you choose? Here are some things to consider during your search for a home in Naples:
Quality of Construction
New construction homes in Naples are built to conform to stringent hurricane code, which was most recently updated in 2004. These new homes provide the best protection against storms. Although Naples ranks low on the hurricane vulnerability list, it's important to know that older homes built prior to the last hurricane code update in 1994 are likely to sustain more damage.
Community Amenities
Homes in older established neighborhoods are great, but often lack the accessibility to amenities that make life so much more enjoyable. While older homes may not have a pool, most gated communities have a pool complex, which is an essential component to beating the Florida heat! Beyond just a standard pool, many communities have incredible lifestyle amenities that you simply wouldn't have access to otherwise. There are championship golf courses, tennis courts, restaurants and lounges, top tier fitness centers, spa facilities and much more.
Carefree Living
If you're the type of person who travels frequently for business or pleasure, there is a distinct advantage to living in a Naples community. With the ability to "lock it and leave," new home communities give you the peace of mind you need. Often, if you're living in a traditional neighborhood, you have to make special arrangements to ensure your home is cared for while you're away. A gated enclave will often handle all the details, including security and lawn care. The property management division can ensure that pet sitters and other visitors have access to your home, and in general, give you the safety and security you need to travel freely.
Well-designed Floor Plans
Older Naples homes might not have the floor plans of your dreams. It's amazing how lifestyles have changes since the 1960s and 1970s! Traditional homes often have little to no closet space, small kitchens with outdated appliances, and "choppy" floor plans that don't allow for a easy flow throughout the house. Architects and builders of new home communities have responded to lifestyle changes with innovative designs that make sense for the way we live now. Often there are well-designed spaces that work perfectly for a home office, kitchens that are open and airy, and spacious two- or three-car garages to accommodate both vehicles and storage. There are also unique villas and courtyard homes that offer the space of typical single-family home but feature creative layouts, often on two levels. Most importantly, you'll find that newer residences are designed to truly maximize outdoor living, with features like outdoor kitchens, covered lanais, and spacious poolside terraces for entertaining.
We hope you'll have great success in your new home search in Naples. Wherever you live, you'll love the easy, breezy Southwest Florida lifestyle!
