Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41) Residential

Bounded by 111th Avenue North to the north, extending south to State Road 951 (Collier Boulevard) and including blocks east and west along the Tamiami Trail.

As development radiated outward from Old Naples, neighborhoods began to take shape north along U.S. 41. Others started popping up east of 41. Many buyers are full-time residents who enjoy the ambience of Old Naples without its higher home prices. In addition to sometimes subtle age and price differences among these areas (the farther north and east, the less expensive the homes), some neighborhoods have voluntary homeowners associations, including deeded beach access.

Bayfront

Anchor Rode Drive serves as the dividing line between the Moorings and Park Shore, which extends north to Seagate Drive and west to include Gulf-front properties along Gulf Shore Boulevard North and bay-front settings that overlook Venetian, Inner Doctors, Outer Doctors and Moorings bays. The area's history can be traced to 1964, when developer Raymond L. Lutgert purchased 760 acres along a 1.25-mile stretch of Gulf-front beach. Lutgert's plan included development of Venetian Bay, a navigable body of water that separates the mainland portion of Park Shore, and a serpentine promenade that includes five beachside parks and four open-space commons. Condominiums joined the mix in 1970, when the Lutgert Co. built its first, Colony Gardens, a combination of mid-rise apartments and townhomes with private docks. Venetian Villas, another Lutgert creation that placed villas over the water, was followed by the Village on Venetian Bay, offering upscale waterfront shops and restaurants in a classically styled Mediterranean theme. Some 40 years later, Lutgert's plan is coming full circle, with development of its final high-rise in Park Shore, the 65-unit Aria.

Residents like its proximity to the beach (minutes away by bike or foot) and other nearby amenities-shopping, restaurants, a library, and a public park with racquetball facilities, a jogging path and tennis. Boaters can garage their vessels and launch them at the nearby Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Recreation Area.

Patrons of the arts enjoy the proximity to the Naples Philharmonic Center and its accompanying Naples Art Museum. This sprawling community of 65 neighborhoods, some of them gated, features mature trees and a park-like setting.
