Top Home Amenities & Features for Naples Florida Real Estate

When it comes to amenities, it's a different world in Naples real estate.

It seems not that long ago that a highly amenitized community might have a gated entrance, nicely landscaped pool area and maybe a clubhouse. But in the last decade, the stakes have been raised, and Naples, Florida real estate buyers now have a veritable smorgasbord of lifestyle choices. As real estate consumers have become increasingly sophisticated, real estate developers have responded by raising the bar on the quality—and quantity—of amenities. From bark parks for dogs to elaborate pool complexes with theme-park caliber water features, residential communities are now more like luxury resorts than ever before.

Several Naples Florida communities have pioneered the concept of an amenity center. Much more than just a clubhouse, amenity centers are often the social center of the community. Often 20,000 square feet or larger, these central gathering places often one-stop shopping for every lifestyle amenity imaginable. Within the amenity centers or villages, there are a variety of restaurant options, including bistros and pubs, plus coffee shops, old-fashioned ice cream parlors and other specialty destinations for dining. These amenity centers often host a full calendar of social events, so that residents can have an even wider selection of culinary choices—from a grand seafood buffet to pasta night to thematic dinners for special holidays.

Fitness and recreational opportunities have exploded as well. It used to be that a health or fitness center might have some free weights and perhaps a treadmill, but real estate in Naples has taken fitness to the next level. There are Pilates studios, yoga gardens, water aerobics and a full complement of the latest strength training and cardiovascular equipment to rival those at a professional gym. To help reach fitness goals, many of these amenity centers have personal trainers and nutritionists on staff.

Outdoor recreation options have increased exponentially, with jogging and bicycle paths, basketball and bocce ball courts, beach volleyball courts and professional grade tennis facilities. Some Naples Florida real estate communities have one or more golf courses on the property, with PGA professionals available for one-on-one or groups lessons.

One of the most popular new lifestyle amenity is the concierge. With increasingly busy lives, concierge services are always a popular bet, helping homeowners with everything from restaurant reservations to arranging for transportation to and from the airport.

It is a terrific time to be looking at Naples Florida real estate, with the proliferation of new amenity centers. Buyers will find that they are buying much more than just a home now, but a small town with a built-in social scene.
