Naples comes up quite frequently in discussions of the best places to retire in Florida, and for good reason.

This community has an (optional to join) 18-hole championship golf course, sports courts, resort and lap pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and 2 large clubhouses with a full-time Lifestyle Director.
Surprisingly that's it for 55+ communities in the Naples area that are still building and selling new homes. Now here are some notable 55+ communities in the area that have already been completed where you might be able to find the perfect resale to fit your needs.
Riviera Golf Estates – Naples, FL
Built over the course of nearly 40 years, Riviera Golf Estates contains a mix of home types. The older homes tend to be manufactured homes, and the homes built closer to completion of the development are site built homes. Amenities here include a clubhouse with fitness center, pool and spa, tennis/pickleball courts, walking trails, a golf course, and more.
Tidewater by Del Webb – Estero, FL
Located even a bit more north of Naples in Estero, Tidewater by Del Webb is much smaller and more intimate than your typical Del Webb community. There are less than 400 homes in this community that was developed between 2015 and 2020. However, like most Del Webb communities there's still a clubhouse with a fitness center, card rooms, meeting rooms, pools, pickleball courts and more.
Cascades at Estero – Estero, FL
Also in Estero, the Cascades at Estero is a community of around 600 homes that was completed around 2007, so it is a bit older than the rest of the communities mentioned above. That might mean there are some better deals to be had, but it also likely means that some of the homes might need some updating, at least to make them comparable to today's new homes.
Amenities in Cascades at Estero include a large clubhouse, an indoor/outdoor swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts and more.

FULL DISCLOSURE
If you choose to work with the agent I match you up with, its not going to cost you anything, and you’re of course under no obligation to buy anything with them or through them.
But if you do choose to purchase with their assistance, they will pay me a referral fee for sending you their way. I am a licensed real estate broker here in Florida, and while most people get that this is how the real estate world works, I just wanted to make it abundantly clear 🙂
I look forward to having the chance to help you!
