Where new homes are being built around Naples

CDD, stewardship and HOA fees on new Naples homes
Ave Maria's stewardship district
Ave Maria's infrastructure is financed through the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District. Its annual assessment has two parts: debt service on its bonds, and administration and maintenance. Both appear on the November property tax bill, so if your taxes are escrowed the charge is inside your mortgage payment. The district's FAQ does not publish a per-lot figure, so ask for the exact assessment on the parcel you are buying.
How big these charges are countywide
The Department of Revenue counted about $11.9 million of community development and redevelopment assessments levied through Collier County government for 2025-26, on top of independent districts that bill separately. On one home the amount can be the difference between two otherwise similar communities. Our Florida CDD fees guide explains the debt and operating portions.
What to ask the builder
- Is there a CDD or stewardship district, and what is this lot's annual debt and operating charge?
- Can the debt portion be prepaid, and for how much?
- What are HOA dues now, and what was the dues history in the builder's earlier phases?
- Is there a club membership or capital contribution at closing?
New build or resale in Naples: what it really costs
Price against the resale market
Zillow's typical Naples value was $544,120 in August 2026, and the Collier County figure $550,723. ZIPs 34113 and 34114 were $495,415 and $512,747, so Seven Shores and resales nearby start in a similar range, while Ave Maria's new homes start well below.
Property tax on a new home
A new home has no Save Our Homes history, and the Collier appraiser notes the cap does not apply to new construction in the year it is added to the roll. Your first full bill is based on the finished home's value. Estimate it with the Collier County property tax guide before you compare monthly costs.
Flood and elevation
Collier County requires new air conditioners, generators and similar machinery to sit at least one foot above base flood elevation. A new home built to current code may insure differently from an older one on the same street. Get an elevation certificate and a flood quote either way.
Why build costs are high: impact fees
From February 1, 2026, Collier's impact fees for a single-family home under 4,000 square feet in the unincorporated county total $32,646.49 including county water and sewer, before fire fees ($476 per unit in North Collier Fire, or 43.3 cents per square foot under roof in Greater Naples Fire). Builders fold these into the price; custom builders may list them separately.
Incentives
Builders often offer closing-cost help or rate buydowns, especially on finished inventory homes. Compare the incentive with a price cut, and check whether it requires the builder's lender.
Inspections and warranties on a new home
Pre-drywall inspection
Hire your own inspector to look at framing, straps, windows and plumbing before the walls close. It is the only time these can be seen.
Final walk-through
Inspect again before closing and give the builder a written punch list. Check the flood elevation paperwork and the certificate of occupancy.
Builder warranty
Read what the builder's warranty covers, for how long, and how claims are made. Book an inspection before the first-year coverage ends. See our Florida home inspection checklist.
Buying new in Naples with a local agent
The builder's sales staff work for the builder. A buyer's agent can compare incentives across communities, read the purchase contract and CDD disclosure with you, and point out resale competition from older homes nearby. Ask whether the builder requires your agent to be registered on your first visit. Under the rules in place since August 2024, agree in writing how your agent is paid. Our Naples realtor guide covers what to ask, and the Florida new construction guide covers the statewide rules.
Common questions
What are the best new construction communities in Naples, Florida?+
It depends on budget and location. Toll Brothers' Seven Shores (ZIP 34114) starts at $599,995 and Stock Development's gated Caymas from $1.5 million. Ave Maria, about 36 miles northeast, has the widest choice: Lennar, Pulte, CC Homes and Del Webb, from the low $200s. GL Homes' Valencia Sky is a 55+ option from the $700s.
Are house prices dropping in Naples, FL?+
Resale values have eased. Zillow's typical Naples home value was $544,120 in August 2026, down 2.4% over the year and 10.5% below August 2022. Builders tend to respond with incentives such as rate buydowns rather than lower base prices, so compare the total package when you shop new homes.
What is the average cost to build a house in Naples, Florida?+
No official source publishes a cost per square foot, so get builder quotes. What is fixed is the government side: Collier County's impact fees for a single-family home under 4,000 square feet in the unincorporated area total $32,646.49 including county water and sewer, plus fire impact fees, as of February 1, 2026.
Why are so many people leaving Naples, FL?+
Census estimates show Collier County had net domestic out-migration of 2,337 people in the year to July 2025, after strong inflows in 2021 and 2022, while total population was roughly flat. Higher insurance premiums, storm damage and prices are commonly cited, but the Census does not record reasons.
Do new homes in Ave Maria have CDD fees?+
Ave Maria's infrastructure is funded by the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District, which levies an annual assessment with a debt service part and an administration and maintenance part. It appears on the November property tax bill. Ask the builder or the district for the exact amount on your lot before signing.
Should I get an inspection on a new build in Naples?+
Yes. Hire your own inspector before drywall goes up and again before closing, and book a final check before the builder's first-year warranty ends. Municipal inspections check code minimums; your inspector works for you and can catch installation problems the builder can still fix.
