Luxurious waterfront community

Aqualane Shores is a luxurious waterfront community whose large, stately homes are as scenic as the surrounding turquoise waters. Development began in the 1950s, leading to a neighborhood known for its striking architecture and expansive estates. Most houses have intracoastal water access, making Aqualane Shores a boater's paradise. However, those who wish to stay on land are within walking distance of famous Naples amenities. “It is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods due to its proximity to the pristine beaches in the Old Naples area and the proximity to the fine shopping on Third Street South,” says Andrew Christopher Arreola, Luxury Properties Specialist at Willaim Raveis Real Estate.

Expansive homes with direct canal access

One stroll down Aqualane Shores’s heavily forested streets, and it's easy to see why home values rise into the multi-million-dollar range. The average square foot size of a single-family home in the neighborhood is over 1,000 more than the national average. Recent changes have shifted the neighborhood’s architectural style. “What’s really been sought after over the last decade has been a push to coastal contemporary, transitional tropical and Caribbean contemporary,” Arreola says. These styles often draw upon influences of the area and come with tiled roofs and well-manicured lawns with colorful flowers. Midcentury moderns with rows of windows are also available. 90% of houses sit on navigable water, and boat docks with luxury yachts are a common sight. Prices for off-water properties range from $7 to $20 million, while expansive waterfront estates can top $30 million. The neighborhood was directly hit by Hurricane Ian in 2022, with numerous older houses being damaged or destroyed. Recovery work has been quick and substantial, and many of the updated houses weathered the storm. “The FEMA codes for newer properties worked very well,” Arreola says. “The interior of the homes was not affected; water did not get inside any of the newer properties.”

Head to Third Street South

Third Street South, known as “the birthplace of Naples” is a colorful, vibrant shopping district within walking distance of most residents. Eclectic boutiques and upscale shops line the tightly packed street, and multiple art galleries highlight creative endeavors from local artists. Sports cars drive up and down the road, and live music provides the soundtrack, echoing from multiple venues.

Homeowners can use these channels to access the calm waters of Naples Bay close by and the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico beyond.

Interstate 41 links to Fort Myers to the north and Miami to the east, while Naples Airport is 5 miles away.
