Golden Gate offers waterfront homes and friendly price points
Located in inland Naples, the Golden Gate neighborhood may be about 8 miles from the beach, but it still offers residents proximity to water. Canals, lakes and ponds are woven seamlessly into the infrastructure of the roads and subdivisions of the community, with many homes featuring waterfront access to take advantage of popular area activities like fishing and kayaking. Golden Gate offers potential homebuyers more reasonable prices than in much of Naples, where home values have nearly doubled since 2019. “The relatively affordable prices in Golden Gate are a huge draw for many homebuyers,” says Jean Romano, a Realtor with Sun Realty and a neighborhood resident.
One of the neighborhood jewels, Golden Gate Community Park has an impressive public pool.
Many homes in Golden Gate sit on large lots with private driveways.
