Key takeaways for Ave Maria buyers

• Ave Maria is an unincorporated master-planned town in eastern Collier County, not a city; the Collier County record counts 7,903 parcels in ZIP 34142 with the city field AVE MARIA, of which 5,756 are homes (4,662 single-family, 1,094 condominium).
• Collier County recorded 440 qualified home sales in the 12 months from October 3, 2025 to October 2, 2026, at a $362,000 median and $230 per heated square foot, against 790 sales at $449,900 in the 12 months before.
• Single-family homes sold at a $476,000 median (260 sales, $244 per heated square foot) and condominiums at $234,500 (180 sales, $181), and condominiums were 41 percent of all sales, which pulls the all-homes median down.
• Builder-direct first sales were 221 of the 440 sales and resales were 219; four builder brands (CC Homes, Pulte, Del Webb and Lennar) list new homes from $256,862 to $874,990 on their own sites as of October 28, 2026 (asking prices, not sales).
• The 2025 property tax rates by authority add up to about 12.2558 mills, or $1,225.58 per $100,000 of taxable value, before the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District assessment.
• The district's adopted FY2026/27 per-unit assessment runs from $1,387.20 for attached homes to $2,673.47 for single-family homes, built on $984.20 of operations and reserve, up from $841.98, plus debt service by bond series.
• The Ave Maria Master Association charges $203 a quarter ($812 a year) in 2026, and Del Webb Naples publishes a 2026 social assessment of $859.80 a quarter.
• Only Del Webb Naples, with its Mayflower Way condominiums, is age restricted: its recorded governing documents require at least one occupant 55 or older and bar occupants under 19, with grandfathered parcels excepted.
• FEMA's effective map put 6 of 10 sampled Ave Maria points in Zone X and 4 in Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area, on panels dated May 16, 2012, and Collier County lists Ave Maria in Evacuation Zone F.
• Ave Maria Elementary School opened in August 2026, Naples Fifth Avenue South is 36.1 modeled road miles away, and Collier County commissioners voted 4 to 1 on June 9, 2026 to raise the town's maximum from 11,000 to 17,738 homes.

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser public data bundle, DOR-qualified improved sales over $1,000, index built October 28, 2026, for the parcels the county codes to the city AVE MARIA in ZIP 34142. The newest qualified sale in the index is October 2, 2026. Vacant lots, acreage and common areas are never counted as sales. The 12-month median fell 19.5 percent, from $449,900 to $362,000, while the number of recorded sales fell 44.3 percent, from 790 to 440. More condominium sales in the latest window pulled the overall median down: condominiums were 41 percent of the 440 sales (180) against 28 percent of the 790 before (221).

The Ave Maria price trend by year

The yearly median moves with the mix of condominiums and single-family homes that closed in that year, and with how many closings were first sales from builders. The county record below runs from 2008 through the newest recorded sale in 2026.

Year	Sales	Median	Single family (sales / median)	Condo (sales / median)
2008	72	$301,000	62 / $340,650	10 / $225,950

2026 (to October 2)	314	$345,500	172 / $452,500	142 / $233,000

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser sale files by calendar year. The busiest year in the series was 2023, with 918 recorded sales, and the highest yearly median was $474,050, also in 2023. Single-family sales fell from 642 in 2024 to 517 in 2025, while condominium sales stayed near 220 a year in 2024 and 2025.

Single-family homes versus condominiums

In the latest 12 months the county recorded 260 single-family sales at a $476,000 median ($244 per heated square foot) and 180 condominium sales at $234,500 ($181). In the 12 months before, single-family homes recorded 569 sales at $515,000 and condominiums 221 sales at $270,000. Single-family sales fell by more than half (569 to 260) while condominium sales fell by about a fifth (221 to 180), so the overall median moved down partly through mix and partly because both product medians fell.

Builder-direct sales and resales

A total of 221 of the 440 recorded sales in the latest 12 months were builder-direct, at a $317,000 median, and 219 were resales at $410,000. Among single-family homes, 96 builder-direct sales recorded a $477,500 median and 164 resales $468,000. Among condominiums, 125 builder-direct sales recorded $225,000 and 55 resales $255,000. Builder-direct here is an estimate: a parcel's first recorded sale within a year of its year built.

Price bands in the last 12 months

Of the 440 recorded sales, 142 (32 percent) closed under $300,000, 115 (26 percent) between $300,000 and $400,000, 72 (16 percent) between $400,000 and $500,000, 85 (19 percent) between $500,000 and $700,000 and 26 (6 percent) at $700,000 or more. Close to six in ten sales (257 of 440) closed under $400,000, which is where most of the condominium and Silverwood activity sits.

We list neighborhoods, not street addresses, for individual sales. All five of the lowest recorded sales were Terrace condominiums, and all five of the highest were single-family homes in four neighborhoods.

Price per square foot in Ave Maria

County dollars per square foot on this page use heated (living) area from the Collier County roll, not total area under roof. On that basis the 12-month median was $230 per square foot for all homes, $244 for single-family homes and $181 for condominiums, against $243 for all homes in the prior 12 months and $237 over 24 months. Neighborhood medians run from $164 per square foot at Mayflower Way to $254 at The National Golf and Country Club over 12 months, with two exceptions: Silverwood ($395) and Coquina ($382) show higher figures because the county heated area for those two is unreliable, as described in their neighborhood sections.

What the county record cannot show

The county file records the price and the date a deed was recorded. It does not record the asking price, how long the home was listed or how many homes are for sale today. Those are MLS fields, and they are being added in our next data refresh; the listing links above show current inventory now. The file also does not show upgrades, lot position, lake or preserve views, golf or club membership status or condition, which is why two homes of the same size in the same neighborhood can record different prices.

The September 2026 Naples Area Board of Realtors report

The Naples Area Board of Realtors September 2026 report puts the Ave Maria median at $419,500 in ZIP 34142, with 118 days on market, 223 listings and 9.1 months of single-family supply. That is an MLS-based supporting figure measured on a different basis from the county record above, so the two medians should not be compared with each other; we use the county record for every other price on this page.

How do Ave Maria neighborhoods compare?

Neighborhoods in Ave Maria differ by builder, product, size and age rule, and the neighborhood decides most of the price. The Collier County roll groups the town into 19 named neighborhoods, from 20-home Ellington Park to 1,414-home Maple Ridge. The table lists each one, and every name links to its section below. Data updated: October 2026.

Buyers weighing a master-planned town against a gated lake community on the Lee County side can read our Miromar Lakes homes for sale page, and our Naples communities guide places Ave Maria beside the coastal options.

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser parcel roll and qualified improved sales through October 2, 2026, index built October 28, 2026. Homes are single-family parcels and condominium units (5,756 in all); vacant lots and common areas are excluded. Each neighborhood is the sum of its recorded plats, and a median of a handful of sales is a single price, not a market. The county heated area for Silverwood and Coquina (929 square feet) is far below the builder's plan range of 1,133 to 2,047 square feet and should not be used to judge home size there.

Neighborhoods that still sell new homes

On October 28, 2026 the builders' own sites listed new homes in six places: Maple Ridge and Silverwood (CC Homes), Del Webb Naples (Del Webb), Avalon Park (Pulte, a limited number of homes), Gatherpoint (Pulte and Lennar) and The National (Lennar Coach Homes and Terrace plans). Every builder price on this page is a "from" price as listed on the builder's site on that date, not a sale. Our Naples new construction guide covers the wider Collier County new-home market.

Neighborhoods where nearly every home is a resale

Coquina, Maple Ridge Reserve, Veranda, the single-family homes at The National, Bellera Walk, Hampton Village, Emerson Park, Middlebrooke, Ellington Park and the Residences of La Piazza are resale only, because no builder listed new homes in them on October 28, 2026. Hampton Village, Emerson Park, Middlebrooke and Ellington Park were built in the Pulte generation of the town, with most homes dating from 2007 onward.

Neighborhoods ranked by recent median price

Among neighborhoods with sales in the last 12 months, the highest medians were The National's single-family homes ($560,000), Maple Ridge ($550,000), Avalon Park ($485,000), Del Webb Naples ($455,000) and Hampton Village ($442,500). The lowest were Terrace at The National ($210,000), Veranda ($242,500), Mayflower Way ($260,000), the Residences of La Piazza ($312,500) and Coach Homes ($320,000). Condominiums fill the bottom of the list and detached homes the top.

Which neighborhoods are gated?

Del Webb says Del Webb Naples is gated, Lennar lists The National as gated, and Pulte describes Gatherpoint as a gated community with a footnote we have not seen. None of the builders' own pages describes Maple Ridge, Avalon Park or the older Pulte neighborhoods as gated, and the town as a whole is not gated. Whether a given street is gated is a fact of the recorded declaration and the association, so ask for the documents before you rely on a gate.

Which neighborhood has an age restriction?

Only Del Webb Naples and its Mayflower Way condominiums are age restricted. The recorded rule is at least one occupant 55 or older and no person under 19 occupying a unit, with grandfathered parcels excepted. No other Ave Maria neighborhood has an age restriction in our research, and we do not describe any other neighborhood as 55 and older. Our Naples 55+ communities guide compares Del Webb Naples with the age-restricted options on the coast.

Every Ave Maria neighborhood, one by one

Nineteen named neighborhoods make up Ave Maria on the Collier County record, and each section below gives the builder, product, size, build years, recorded sales and current status of one of them, starting with the largest, Maple Ridge, and ending with the newly platted Cadiz. Data updated: October 2026.

Maple Ridge

Maple Ridge is the largest neighborhood, with 1,414 homes built from 2014 to 2025 and a median of 2,176 heated square feet. CC Homes is the builder, with one- and two-story detached plans of 1,133 to 3,985 air-conditioned square feet on 45, 55 and 65 foot lots. As listed on cchomes.com on October 28, 2026, plan prices ran from $334,990 to $674,990. The county recorded 60 sales in 12 months at a $550,000 median (24 builder-direct) and 225 in 24 months at $551,200. Yearly medians were $380,100 in 2021, $577,500 in 2023, $555,550 in 2025 and $514,000 in 2026 to date. The Club at Maple Ridge is open only to Maple Ridge and Silverwood residents and has a clubhouse, resort-style pool, pickleball, fitness center, saunas and a dog park. The Maple Ridge association budget is not published online, so request it with the resale documents.

Silverwood at Maple Ridge

Silverwood is CC Homes' smaller-lot collection, called Silverwood Vista on the builder's site. It has 541 homes built from 2019 to 2025, 62 vacant lots on the roll, and eight plans of 1,133 to 2,047 square feet listed from $334,990 to $389,990 on October 28, 2026 (one marked sold out). The county shows a 929 square foot median heated area, which is well below the builder's plan range and should not be used to judge size. The county recorded 26 sales in 12 months at $362,500 (11 builder-direct) and 115 in 24 months at $395,000. Yearly medians were $275,500 in 2021 on 85 sales, $403,150 in 2024 on 138 sales and $359,200 in 2026 to date on 16. Silverwood residents share The Club at Maple Ridge, and the Silverwood association budget should be requested before you write an offer.

Coquina at Maple Ridge

Coquina is the earlier CC Homes product that preceded Silverwood. The county counts 283 homes built from 2015 to 2025, and the builder sold out years ago, so almost every sale is a resale. The county recorded 7 sales in 12 months at a $340,000 median and 12 in 24 months at $332,500, against 45 sales at $279,900 in 2021 and 23 at $375,000 in 2022. As in Silverwood, the county heated area of 929 square feet is not a reliable guide to home size, so compare plans and floor areas from the listing or the builder's original plan name instead. Coquina residents use The Club at Maple Ridge, the same amenity shared by Maple Ridge and Silverwood. Resale depth is thin, which means a single sale can move the neighborhood median.

Maple Ridge Reserve

Maple Ridge Reserve is the estate section of Maple Ridge: 51 detached homes built from 2016 to 2024 on lots of about a third of an acre, with a median of 3,476 heated square feet, the largest in Ave Maria. CC Homes built it, and it is resale only. The county recorded no sales in the last 12 months and 2 in 24 months at a $725,000 median, so a single price is all the record offers right now. Earlier years show the range: 6 sales at $787,500 in 2021, 3 at $789,900 in 2023 and 1 at $775,000 in 2025. Because so few homes trade, a buyer here usually works from the listing, a recent comparable in Maple Ridge and an appraisal. Ask for the Reserve's association documents separately from Maple Ridge's.

Del Webb Naples

Del Webb Naples is the 55 and older neighborhood, built by Del Webb, a PulteGroup brand. It has 1,177 homes on the county roll, built from 2007 to 2025, with a 2,046 square foot median heated area. As listed on delwebb.com on October 28, 2026, new homes started from $299,990 and plan prices ran to $874,990, from 1,405 to 3,970 square feet, in single-family, villa and carriage-home plans. The county recorded 83 sales in 12 months at $455,000 (35 builder-direct) and 219 in 24 months at $507,500. Yearly medians peaked at $578,750 in 2023 and were $419,000 in 2026 to date. Del Webb says the community is gated, with the Oasis Club and Grand Hall clubhouses and optional Panther Run golf membership. Occupancy rules and dues are covered in the Del Webb section below.

Mayflower Way

Mayflower Way is the set of 112 two-story carriage-home condominiums inside Del Webb Naples, platted as four condominium sections (I, II and III with 24 units each and IV with 40), so the same 55 and older occupancy rule applies. The county shows homes built from 2007 to 2024 with a 1,667 square foot median heated area. It recorded 12 sales in 12 months at $260,000 (6 builder-direct) and 43 in 24 months at $282,000, which works out to $164 per heated square foot, the lowest in Ave Maria. Yearly medians were $229,800 in 2021 on 18 sales, $341,500 in 2024 on 24 and $267,500 in 2026 to date on 5. Mayflower Way buildings are two stories, so the milestone inspection and structural reserve laws for taller buildings do not reach them. Read the section's own budget for the quarterly dues.

The National Golf and Country Club

The National Golf and Country Club is the Lennar neighborhood around the 18-hole Gordon Lewis course that opened in January 2021 and is open to the public for play. The single-family homes here, 350 on the roll built from 2021 to 2025 with a 2,243 square foot median, are Lennar's Executive and Estate collections, listed as sold out, so sales are resales. Lennar's 2026 plan pages show a social membership included in fees, and golf by building varies with the recorded association documents, so confirm what a specific home carries. The county recorded 25 sales in 12 months at $560,000 and 104 in 24 months at $560,000, with yearly medians of $646,350 in 2023 and $550,000 in 2025. Our Naples golf homes for sale guide compares The National with coastal golf communities. Dues are not published online.

Terrace at The National

Terrace is the largest condominium neighborhood: 420 units in six condominium phases, built from 2021 to 2025, in four-story elevator buildings with Lennar plans of 1,120 to 1,301 square feet (the county median is 1,154). It recorded 91 sales in 12 months at $210,000 (67 builder-direct), $185 per heated square foot, and 174 in 24 months at $225,000. Yearly medians climbed from $227,999 in 2021 to $280,000 in 2024, then fell to $236,000 in 2025 and $205,000 in 2026 to date on 73 sales. All five of the lowest recorded sales in the last 12 months were Terrace units. Lennar's plan cards were marked future release from $256,862 on October 28, 2026. Because the buildings are four stories, the milestone inspection and structural integrity reserve study laws apply, so ask for the study in the resale documents. Browse Naples condos for sale for comparison.

Veranda at The National

Veranda is the two-story condominium section of The National: 256 units in five condominium phases built from 2021 to 2025, with Lennar plans of 1,355 to 1,569 square feet and a county median of 1,366. Lennar lists the collection as sold out, so listings are resales. The county recorded 41 sales in 12 months at $242,500 (24 builder-direct) and 106 in 24 months at $260,000. Yearly medians were $269,000 in 2021, $323,750 in 2023, $251,950 in 2025 and $250,000 in 2026 to date on 33 sales. At two stories, Veranda buildings sit outside the milestone inspection and structural reserve rules that apply to taller buildings. Golf and social membership terms vary by building and by association, so read the recorded documents and the current budget.

Coach Homes at The National

Coach Homes are the two-story, larger attached homes at The National: 188 units on the county roll, built from 2022 to 2025, with Lennar plans of 1,741 to 2,110 square feet and a county median of 1,925. On October 28, 2026 Lennar listed two ready homes at $264,000 and $279,998 and plans at $349,999 and $375,999, so some are still sold new. The county recorded 34 sales in 12 months at $320,000 (28 builder-direct), $180 per heated square foot, and 72 in 24 months at $347,500. Yearly medians were $378,500 in 2022, $410,000 in 2024 and $320,000 in 2026 to date on 29 sales. Coach Homes are two stories and sit outside the milestone inspection rules. Membership terms and dues vary by association, so request the current budget.

Avalon Park

Avalon Park is a Pulte neighborhood of one- and two-story detached homes. The county counts 345 homes built from 2016 to 2025 with a 2,098 square foot median, and that count includes the plat the county calls Liberty Park, the early Avalon Park. Pulte's pages showed a limited number of homes on October 28, 2026, with the Ashby plan from $439,990 at 2,298 square feet or more and no quick move-ins on that plan page. The county recorded 39 sales in 12 months at $485,000 (26 builder-direct) and 116 in 24 months at $510,000. Yearly medians were $380,000 in 2021, $627,000 in 2024 on 60 sales and $492,000 in 2026 to date. The highest Avalon Park sale in the last 12 months was $918,000 on October 7, 2025. Avalon Park has no age restriction in our research, and builder pages do not describe it as gated.

Gatherpoint

Gatherpoint is the newest neighborhood, built by Pulte and Lennar on 328 acres with 947 homes planned. The county records its land under the plat name Avalon North, not Avalon Park, and shows only 3 built homes and 65 vacant lots with no recorded home sales yet, so county prices do not exist for it. On October 28, 2026 Pulte listed attached villas, townhomes and detached homes of 1,448 to 5,363 square feet from $279,990, and Lennar listed detached homes of 1,263 to 2,463 square feet from $297,999 to $499,733. Pulte calls it a gated community with a footnote we have not seen, and Lennar lists a heated pool, clubhouse with fitness center and pickleball. The homeowners association was filed with the Florida Division of Corporations on April 22, 2025. Use the MLS and the builders' pages for price evidence.

Emerson Park

Emerson Park is one of the Pulte-generation neighborhoods: 185 detached homes built from 2007 to 2025 (median year 2013) with a 1,760 square foot median heated area, and no builder is selling new homes there now. The county recorded 6 resales in 12 months at a $392,000 median ($216 per heated square foot) and 14 in 24 months at $399,450. Yearly medians were $315,000 in 2021 on 21 sales, $420,000 in 2024 on 7 and $414,500 in 2026 to date on 4. With only a handful of sales a year, one unusual home can move the median, so ask for the recent comparable sales in the same plat rather than relying on the neighborhood figure. Emerson Park has no builder-direct sales in the last 12 months, so every recent sale was a resale.

Bellera Walk

Bellera Walk is a neighborhood of 156 homes, detached and attached, built from 2007 to 2025 (median year 2017), with a 1,554 square foot median heated area. The county records two plats, Bellerawalk Phase 1A and Phase 1B, and Phase 1B is platted land with no homes yet. We describe Bellera Walk by the county record and send buyers to its recorded declaration for its occupancy and age rules before they write an offer. The county recorded 8 sales in 12 months at $367,500 ($233 per heated square foot) and 13 in 24 months at $390,000, all resales. Yearly medians were $299,000 in 2021 on 21 sales, $500,000 in 2024 on 7 and $367,500 in 2026 to date on 8. Ask the association which quarterly assessment and which community rules apply to the specific home.

Hampton Village

Hampton Village is a Pulte-generation neighborhood of 137 detached homes built from 2007 to 2025 (median year 2014), with larger floor plans than its neighbors: a 1,901 square foot median heated area. No builder is selling new homes there, and the county shows 2 vacant lots. It recorded 6 resales in 12 months at $442,500 ($221 per heated square foot) and 9 in 24 months at $445,000. Yearly medians were $451,000 in 2021 on 15 sales, $550,000 in 2024 and $560,000 in 2025 (5 sales each) and $442,500 in 2026 to date on 4. The association is managed by FirstService Residential, according to the Ave Maria Master Association's association list. As in other small resale neighborhoods, appraisers will lean on a few comparable sales.

Middlebrooke Townhomes

Middlebrooke is the townhome neighborhood: 48 townhome-style condominium units, all built in 2007, with a 1,163 square foot median heated area. The county recorded only 1 sale in 24 months, at $233,000, with 1 sale at $272,500 in 2022 and 1 at $233,000 in 2025, so there is no 12-month median. Creative Management is listed as its manager on the Ave Maria Master Association's association list. Because condominium resales here are rare, buyers should ask for the condominium documents, the current budget and the reserve study in the same request, and compare against the Residences of La Piazza and Mayflower Way for a sense of where attached homes in Ave Maria price. No builder is selling new homes in Middlebrooke.

Residences of La Piazza

The Residences of La Piazza is the town center condominium building, 70 units built in 2007 with a 1,386 square foot median heated area, above the shops and restaurants of the Town Center. The county recorded 2 sales in 12 months at $312,500 and 5 in 24 months at $310,000. Yearly medians were $270,000 in 2021 on 5 sales, $340,000 in 2022 on 7, $437,500 in 2024 on 6 and $312,500 in 2026 to date on 2. It sits in the Town Center itself, so shops and restaurants are in the same development as the front door. Ask for the building's SIRS status and milestone inspection date, plus the commercial-area assessments, because the condominium shares a site with retail space.

Ellington Park

Ellington Park is a 20-home detached neighborhood built from 2019 to 2024 (median year 2019) with a 2,168 square foot median heated area, the smallest neighborhood by home count. No builder is selling there now, and the county recorded no sales in 24 months. The last recorded sales were 6 homes at a $460,250 median in 2021 and 1 at $499,000 in 2022. With no recent comparable sales, a buyer should expect the price to rest on the listing, a broker price opinion and an appraiser's choice of comparables from nearby Avalon Park and Hampton Village. The neighborhood association is registered with the State of Florida in care of Pulte Home Corporation, according to its Sunbiz filing, and Ellington Park shows no gate, golf or age restriction in our research.

Cadiz at Ave Maria

Cadiz at Ave Maria is a newly platted neighborhood with no homes yet. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners approved its plat for recording on March 11, 2025, and the county roll lists 70 parcels, all unbuilt, with no home sales. We do not name a builder or a price for Cadiz because no builder has published a community page for it. Watch the Collier Clerk's plat record and the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District's meeting agendas for the product and assessment details, and ask us to alert you when a builder opens sales. Until homes close, any Cadiz price you see is an asking price, and the first sales will set the county record.

Is there new construction in Ave Maria?

New construction in Ave Maria comes from four builder brands as of October 28, 2026: CC Homes in Maple Ridge and Silverwood, Del Webb in Del Webb Naples, Pulte in Avalon Park and Gatherpoint, and Lennar in Gatherpoint and The National. The builders' own sites listed new homes from $256,862 to $874,990. Data updated: October 2026.

Every number in the table below is a "from" price or a price range as listed on the builder's own site on October 28, 2026. These are asking prices, not sales, and they change without notice. The town's own site, avemaria.com, describes new homes "from the low $200s to $800s." Our Naples new construction guide covers builders outside Ave Maria.

CC Homes in Maple Ridge and Silverwood

CC Homes sells detached one- and two-story homes in Maple Ridge and Silverwood, where it lists 18 Maple Ridge plans in five collections on 45, 55 and 65 foot lots, plus eight Silverwood Vista plans on 40 foot lots. Its site also lists quick move-in homes, with one listed at $441,186 and another at $634,229 on October 28, 2026. Coquina and Maple Ridge Reserve, its earlier products, are resale only. Cadiz, the newly platted neighborhood, has no builder page yet.

Pulte in Avalon Park and Gatherpoint

Pulte lists limited homes in Avalon Park, with the Ashby plan from $439,990 and no quick move-ins on that plan page, and more inventory at Gatherpoint, where it listed 16 homes and 10 quick move-in homes from $279,990 on October 28, 2026. Pulte's older Ave Maria neighborhoods (Hampton Village, Emerson Park, Middlebrooke and Ellington Park) are resale only. Gatherpoint's attached villas are Pulte's lowest-priced entry in town.

Del Webb in Del Webb Naples

Del Webb listed 17 homes and 5 quick move-in homes at Del Webb Naples on October 28, 2026, in single-family, attached villa and carriage-home plans from $299,990. The community is age restricted, so a buyer must meet the recorded occupancy rule: at least one occupant 55 or older and no person under 19. The next section covers the rule, the dues and the golf options.

Lennar at The National and Gatherpoint

Lennar listed 12 available homes in Ave Maria on October 28, 2026: 10 at Gatherpoint and 2 at The National. At The National, Executive Homes and Veranda are listed as sold out, Coach Homes are still sold new, and Terrace plans show as future release. Gatherpoint offers detached homes with 3 to 6 bedrooms. Lennar's plan cards show a social membership included in fees at The National.

Buying new versus buying a resale in Ave Maria

A builder-direct sale and a resale carry the same taxes, district assessments and master association dues, but they differ in contract, timing and negotiating room. In the last 12 months 221 of 440 recorded sales were builder-direct and 219 were resales, so buyers had a real choice. Builder contracts usually set the price, deposit and completion window, and they come with warranty terms you should read. Resales let you inspect the finished home, see two years of association budgets and compare against a recent sale next door.

Questions to ask a builder in Ave Maria

Ask which stewardship district assessment area the lot is in and what the first-year assessment will be; which association dues apply and when they start; whether a social or golf membership is included in the fees; what the flood zone is on the lot; which school zone the address is in; and whether any amenity you are counting on is complete. Ask for the recorded declaration and the district's assessment by parcel, not a general range, before you sign.

Is Del Webb Naples a 55+ community in Ave Maria?

Del Webb Naples is the only age-restricted neighborhood in Ave Maria, together with its Mayflower Way condominiums. The recorded governing documents require at least one occupant 55 or older and bar anyone under 19 from occupying a unit, and the 2026 approved budget sets a social assessment of $859.80 a quarter. Data updated: October 2026.

Ave Maria as a town has no age restriction, and no other neighborhood has one in our research. Our Naples 55+ communities guide compares Del Webb Naples with the age-restricted options on the coast, and the sections below cover what the recorded documents and the 2026 budget actually say.

The recorded occupancy rule

The Del Webb Naples governing documents state that each occupied unit must at all times be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older, and that no person under 19 may occupy a unit. Stays by people under 19 are limited to 90 days in 12 months, and parcels that were grandfathered before the rule are excepted. Leasing is allowed for a minimum of 30 days and no more than four times in a calendar year. Ask for the recorded declaration and read the occupancy article before you write an offer.

Del Webb Naples dues in 2026

The Del Webb Naples Community Association's 2026 approved budget sets a social assessment for every home, and a series charge on top that depends on the home type. All figures below are per quarter.

2026 per quarter	Series charge	Total with social assessment
Social assessment, every home	none	$859.80
Garden series	$354.12	$1,213.92
Classic series	$403.32	$1,263.12
Estate series	$433.35	$1,293.15
Quad series	$358.35	$1,218.15
Optional golf add-on	$712.56	$1,572.36 with social

Source: Del Webb Naples Community Association 2026 approved budget (January 1 to December 31, 2026). The social assessment of $859.80 is $574.80 for operations, $240.00 for cable and $45.00 for reserves; the Quad series charge includes a termite bond of $16.82 a month. Annualized, the social assessment alone is $3,439.20, and a Classic series home pays $5,052.48 a year. The budget notes that it is a projected build-out budget in which the developer agrees to fund operating deficits without funding reserves, so these amounts can change as the community matures. Hampton Golf manages Del Webb Naples.

Optional golf at Panther Run

Golf at Del Webb Naples became optional when the Amended and Restated Declaration was recorded on November 4, 2010. Golf memberships are capped at 600, an initiation fee is charged only to an initial purchaser at the developer's option, and moving a golf membership to another parcel carries a $5,000 assignment fee. The optional golf add-on in the 2026 budget is $712.56 per quarter, made up of $604.56 for operations and $108.00 for reserves. Panther Run Golf Club itself states that no membership is required to play its course, so a resident can choose not to join.

Clubhouses and amenities

Pulte's page describes two clubhouses, the Oasis Club and the Grand Hall, with a fitness center, movement studio, resort and lap pools, pickleball, tennis and bocce, and a full-time Lifestyle Director. The Rusty Putter restaurant is at the Oasis Club. The developer labels the club Del Webb exclusive, which means the clubhouse and sports amenities are for Del Webb Naples residents, while the town-wide parks, Water Park and Fitness Center belong to the Ave Maria Master Association.

Mayflower Way condominiums inside Del Webb Naples

The 112 Mayflower Way condominiums are two-story carriage homes in four sections. The 2026 approved budget for Section III sets $1,383.87 per quarter ($461.29 a month), which includes a recreation portion of $361.34 per quarter and building insurance. The social assessment of the Del Webb Naples Community Association is a separate budget line, so request the section's own budget and the community budget together. The same 55 and older rule and the four-leases-a-year limit apply.

What to request on a Del Webb Naples resale

Ask for the recorded declaration, the 2026 approved budget, the section budget if the home is a condominium, the estoppel certificate from the neighborhood association and a second one from the Ave Maria Master Association, and the golf membership status of the parcel. The governing documents also provide for a non-refundable working capital contribution at each conveyance, set by the developer or the association with a 10 percent annual increase limit. The 2026 dollar amount was not published in the documents we could reach, so ask for it in writing.

Is Ave Maria gated?

Gated access in Ave Maria is neighborhood by neighborhood, not town-wide. The town itself is not gated, and its Town Center shops and restaurants are open to the public, but the builders describe Del Webb Naples, The National and Gatherpoint as gated. The parks, Water Park and Fitness Center are resident and guest only, controlled by the Master Association.

Neighborhoods the builders describe as gated

Del Webb lists Del Webb Naples as gated, Lennar lists "Gated" among the amenities of The National, and Pulte calls Gatherpoint a gated community with a footnote that we have not seen. The builders' own pages do not describe Maple Ridge, Silverwood, Avalon Park or the older Pulte neighborhoods as gated. Whether a given street, phase or condominium building sits behind a gate is a fact of the plat and the recorded declaration, so confirm it for the exact home before you rely on it.

Town amenities are controlled by use, not by a town gate

The Water Park, North Park, South Park and Fitness Center are reserved for Ave Maria residents and their guests under Master Association rules. Guests of the parks must be accompanied by a resident, guests of the Water Park are verified by a resident, and the Fitness Center needs a key card. That is access control by rule and by card, not a town gate, and it applies whether or not a neighborhood has its own gate.

Security cameras and the district

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District's FY2026/27 budget includes $200,000 for the third phase of security cameras, funded from the district's operations lines, and the district maintains the town's roads, stormwater and landscaping. A camera program is not the same as a gate or a patrol, and the budget does not describe staffing. If security matters to your purchase, ask the neighborhood association what it provides and the district what its cameras cover.

Questions to ask about a gate

Ask whether the gate is staffed, whether it is a resident-only entrance, who maintains it and what that costs in the budget; whether a guest or contractor needs to be registered; whether golf carts are registered with the Master Association, which the Master Association requires; and whether the gate or the roads inside are private or district-owned. The answers affect delivery access, guest access and the reserve lines in the association's budget.

Is a golf or club membership required in Ave Maria?

No golf membership is required to buy in most Ave Maria neighborhoods. Del Webb Naples golf is optional and capped at 600 memberships, Panther Run Golf Club is open to the public, and The National's membership type depends on the home and the year of sale. Town amenities come with Master Association membership, which every Ave Maria home carries.

Panther Run Golf Club

Panther Run is an 18-hole, par 72, 7,532 yard course designed by Gordon Lewis, at 6005 Anthem Parkway inside Del Webb Naples. The club states that no membership is required to play it, and The Rusty Putter restaurant is open to golfers and the general public. Optional membership includes a reciprocal program through Hampton Golf and Links2Golf. The club does not publish membership prices, so ask for the current schedule in writing.

The National Golf and Country Club

The National has an 18-hole, par 72 Gordon Lewis course that opened for play in January 2021 and sells public tee times. Lennar's 2026 plan pages show a social membership included in fees, and many 2020 to 2022 sales carried a bundled golf membership, so what a specific home carries depends on its address and the year of sale. We do not print golf dues for The National because no 2026 schedule is published, and we do not describe golf as included forever. Racquet sports memberships for non-residents start at $1,400 for a family and $900 for a single annual membership on the club's booking page. Get the home's membership status in writing from the club.

The Club at Maple Ridge

CC Homes describes The Club at Maple Ridge as open only to Maple Ridge and Silverwood residents, with a staffed clubhouse, a Lifestyle Director, a resort-style pool, pickleball, a pavilion with grills, an exhibition kitchen, a coffee bar, billiards, a playground, a dog park, a fitness center, an aerobics studio, massage rooms and two saunas. We found no separate membership fee for it, and it is funded through the Maple Ridge association.

Clubs by neighborhood

Neighborhood	Club or amenity	Access
Maple Ridge and Silverwood	The Club at Maple Ridge	Maple Ridge and Silverwood residents only
Del Webb Naples	Oasis Club and Grand Hall; optional Panther Run membership	Del Webb Naples residents for the clubhouses; the golf course is public
The National	The Hammock, fitness center and racquet center; golf course	Residents; public tee times; membership type varies by home
All other neighborhoods	No private club found in our research	Town-wide amenities through the Master Association

How to confirm what a home carries

Ask the seller or builder for the neighborhood association's resale package, the club's written confirmation of the home's membership, the current budget showing any club or cable lines, and the Master Association estoppel. If the listing says "social membership included" or "golf included", ask which document says so and whether the membership transfers to the next owner.

What does it cost to own in Ave Maria?

Owning in Ave Maria combines five cost layers: county and school property tax at about 12.2558 mills, a stewardship district assessment of $1,387.20 to $2,673.47 per home on the November tax bill, the $203 quarterly Master Association fee, a neighborhood association fee, and insurance. Data updated: October 2026.

The tax and district figures below come from the Florida Department of Revenue, the Collier County Tax Collector and Clerk, and the district's own adopted budget. Association dues come from each association's own approved budget where one is posted, and we say plainly where one is not.

Property taxes and the 2025 millage

A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of taxable value. The table lists 2025 rates by taxing authority for an Ave Maria home in the Immokalee Fire Control District, which is the last complete tax year published for every authority.

2025 rates by taxing authority	Mills	Applies to
Collier County General Fund	3.0107	Non-school value
Collier County Water Pollution Control Program	0.0246	Non-school value
Conservation Collier	0.2096	Non-school value
Unincorporated Area General Fund MSTD	0.6844	Non-school value
South Florida Water Management District	0.0948	Non-school value
Big Cypress Basin	0.0978	Non-school value
Collier Mosquito Control District	0.1349	Non-school value
Immokalee Fire Control District	3.7500	Non-school value
School Board, required local effort	2.0010	School value
School Board, local board	2.2480	School value
Subtotal, non-school	8.0068
Subtotal, school	4.2490
Total	12.2558

Source: Florida Department of Revenue 2025 Collier County taxing authority code descriptions; Immokalee Fire Control District Resolution 2025-018 (adopted September 17, 2025). The total is $12.2558 per $1,000, or $1,225.58 per $100,000 of taxable value. The Immokalee Fire rate is at its 3.75 mill cap, which is above the rolled-back rate of 3.5846 by 4.61 percent. The exact total for a home is on its TRIM notice and its tax bill, because the mosquito control line depends on the parcel's taxing district code; without it the total would be 12.1209. For 2026, Collier County adopted a Conservation Collier rate of 0.1772 (down from 0.2096), which lowers the countywide subtotal from 3.2449 to 3.2125 and the county aggregate from 3.7645 to 3.7307. The 2026 school, water district and fire rates are on the November 2026 tax bill.

Homestead exemption and the reset after a purchase

A home that is your permanent residence on January 1 can claim up to $50,000 of homestead exemption: the first $25,000 applies to all taxes including school, and the additional exemption, indexed to $25,722 for 2025, applies to non-school taxes only. The application (form DR-501) is due by March 1. A purchase resets taxable value toward the price paid, so a buyer should budget on the sale price, not the seller's bill, and a homestead stops when the home is rented. Amendment 3, a proposed property tax amendment, is on the November 3, 2026 ballot and has not been decided, so the examples below use current law.

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District is an independent special district created by Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida. It is not a city. It levies an annual assessment on each property for the cost of financed infrastructure and for operations, and the assessment appears on the property tax bill mailed in November as a non-ad valorem line. If your lender escrows taxes, it is part of the monthly payment.

For fiscal year 2026/27 (October 1, 2026 to September 30, 2027) the district's adopted per-unit assessment is $984.20 for operations ($828.14) and reserve ($156.06), up from $841.98, plus debt service that depends on the bond series on the plat. The exact amount for a home is on that parcel's tax bill, and no single number is the district fee. Every existing row rose by $142.22, and the district budgets a 4 percent early-payment discount, a 1.5 percent Tax Collector cost and a 2 percent Property Appraiser cost.

Source: Ave Maria Stewardship Community District final budget for fiscal year 2026/2027, assessment comparison page. The budget counts 5,480 single-family and 1,168 multi-family platted units. It does not name neighborhoods, so a row can be matched to a home only through the bond series on its plat; rows labeled Maple Ridge or Ave Maria National name the bond series, and the 2025 Master and 2025 Maple Ridge series first appear this year because they were issued after the 2025/26 roll was set. The district's single-family range is $1,759.20 to $2,673.47 and its attached range is $1,387.20 to $2,044.51.

The district's bonds

The district's FY2026/27 budget lists 12 debt service funds, and debt payments are 53 percent of the $16,868,059 budget: $9,005,464 of principal and interest against $4,667,935 of maintenance. Principal is due May 1 and interest on May 1 and November 1. The newest series are the 2025 Master bonds ($29,255,000, issued November 12, 2025, average rate 5.473 percent, final maturity May 1, 2056) and the 2025 Maple Ridge bonds ($2,245,000, average rate 5.818 percent, final maturity May 2055).

Source: district final budget for fiscal year 2026/2027, debt service schedules. The district's developer contribution to operations fell from $845,525 to $154,393, and builders still carry on-roll assessments of $803,586 for operations, $161,181 for reserves and $1,211,316 for debt on unsold platted units, so per-unit amounts can change as the town builds out. Official statements for each series are on the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board's EMMA site, and a buyer can ask a title agent for a payoff letter, because the district budget tracks prepaid units.

Master association dues

The Ave Maria Master Association states its 2026 fee as $203.00 per quarter, or $812 per year, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1. The 2025 fee was $198.00 per quarter ($792 per year). FirstService Residential manages it, a one-time manual online payment carries a $3.00 service fee, and autopay has none. The Master Association maintains the town amenities: North Park, South Park, the dog parks, the Fitness Center, the Tennis Center, the Water Park and the Community Room. Every home in Ave Maria belongs to two associations, the Master Association and a neighborhood association, so a buyer pays both.

Neighborhood and condominium association dues

Neighborhood dues vary widely and are not all published. The table shows what a primary document states for 2026 and which management company to ask for the rest.

Neighborhood	2026 dues	What the record shows
Del Webb Naples	$859.80 per quarter social; $1,213.92 to $1,293.15 per quarter with a home series	Approved budget, January 1 to December 31, 2026; managed by Hampton Golf
Mayflower Way, Section III	$1,383.87 per quarter ($461.29 a month)	Section III approved budget; includes recreation portion and building insurance
Maple Ridge, Silverwood, Coquina, Maple Ridge Reserve	Not published in a primary document we could reach	Request the HOA budget from Miami Management with the resale package
The National (single-family, Terrace, Veranda, Coach Homes)	Not published	Request the property owners association, golf club and condominium association budgets
Avalon Park, Hampton Village, Residences of La Piazza	Not published	Managed by FirstService Residential; request the resale package
Middlebrooke	Not published	Managed by Creative Management; request the condominium budget
Gatherpoint	Not published	Homeowners association filed April 22, 2025; request the builder's disclosure and budget

Source: Del Webb Naples Community Association 2026 approved budget and Mayflower Way Section III 2026 approved budget; Ave Maria Master Association list of associations and managers. We do not print Maple Ridge or The National dues because no primary 2026 schedule is posted; the document to request is the association's current approved budget and its resale package.

Estoppel and resale fees

Ave Maria resales need an estoppel certificate from both the Master Association and the neighborhood association, ordered through the FirstService Residential resale site. The Master Association page does not state its estoppel price. The Maple Ridge association posts its own estoppel request form and a purchase application through Miami Management, and Del Webb Naples governing documents provide a non-refundable working capital contribution at each conveyance, set by the developer or association with a 10 percent annual increase limit. A golf membership moving to another parcel at Del Webb Naples costs $5,000. Ask the title agent for every fee in writing before you set a closing budget.

Condo safety laws: SIRS and milestone inspections

Florida's condominium safety laws apply to buildings of three habitable stories or more. A milestone inspection (Florida Statutes 553.899) is due by December 31 of the year a building reaches 30 years, or 25 years near the coast or where local rules say so. A structural integrity reserve study (Florida Statutes 718.112) must be done at least every 10 years by a licensed engineer, architect or reserve specialist, and a developer-controlled association may not vote to waive or reduce those reserves before turnover.

Terrace at The National has four stories and 420 units built from 2021 to 2025, so both laws apply, and its first milestone inspection falls no earlier than 2051. Veranda, Coach Homes and Mayflower Way buildings are two stories, which puts them outside both laws, and the story count of the Residences of La Piazza should be confirmed from its declaration. 2025's HB 913 added disclosure duties, including the most recent study or a statement that none has been done. Ask for the study, the turnover inspection report, the budget showing reserves, and the state condominium records for the association.

Worked yearly cost example 1: a condominium, non-homestead

This example uses a $235,000 condominium (the 12-month condominium median was $234,500) bought as a second home or investment, with no homestead exemption, so the full $235,000 is taxable for every authority. Each line is $235,000 multiplied by the 2025 rate and divided by 1,000.

Line	Rate (mills)	Calculation	Annual
School, required local effort	2.0010	235 x 2.0010	$470.24
School, local board	2.2480	235 x 2.2480	$528.28
Collier County General Fund	3.0107	235 x 3.0107	$707.51
Water Pollution Control	0.0246	235 x 0.0246	$5.78

Mosquito Control	0.1349	235 x 0.1349	$31.70
Immokalee Fire Control District	3.7500	235 x 3.7500	$881.25
Ad valorem subtotal	12.2558	sum of the ten lines	$2,880.11
District assessment, multi-family row	n/a	2023 + 2021 Ave Maria National series, 364 units	$1,969.68
Mayflower Way Section III dues	n/a	$1,383.87 x 4	$5,535.48
Del Webb Naples social assessment	n/a	$859.80 x 4	$3,439.20
Master Association	n/a	$203 x 4	$812.00
Total			$14,636.47

The total is $1,219.71 a month, or 6.23 percent of the price. The district row is a middle multi-family row and the exact assessment for a building is on its bill, and the association lines are Mayflower Way's because those are the condominium dues posted in a primary document. Terrace, Veranda and Coach Homes association budgets are not posted publicly, so we cannot price them here. The association lines are about two-thirds of this example, which is why a condominium buyer should lead with the budget, the reserves and the study rather than with the millage.

Worked yearly cost example 2: a single-family home with homestead

This example uses a $475,000 single-family home (the 12-month single-family median was $476,000) with homestead. School taxable value is $475,000 less $25,000, or $450,000. Non-school taxable value is $475,000 less $25,000 less the indexed additional $25,722, or $424,278.

Line	Rate (mills)	Calculation	Annual
School, required local effort	2.0010	450 x 2.0010	$900.45
School, local board	2.2480	450 x 2.2480	$1,011.60

Del Webb Naples Classic series	n/a	$1,263.12 x 4	$5,052.48
Total with a Del Webb Naples Classic association			$13,382.53

The ad valorem subtotal is 1.1177 percent of the price, and the Del Webb total is $1,115.21 a month, or 2.82 percent of the price. The district row is the middle single-family row by units, and the range for single-family homes is $1,759.20 to $2,673.47. For a neighborhood whose dues are not published, such as Maple Ridge, add the association's own budget figure to the $8,330.05 subtotal. The 2026 Conservation Collier cut to 0.1772 would lower the bill by about $13.75. These figures leave out homeowner and flood insurance, utilities, golf dues, solid waste if billed separately and any special assessment, and the Master Association amount is shown for every home, so confirm how it is billed in the Del Webb Naples estoppel.

Leasing and rental rules in Ave Maria

Leasing rules in Ave Maria are set by each neighborhood association, and only two are documented in a primary source. Maple Ridge allows leases of 30 days or more, up to two in any 12 months, and Del Webb Naples allows 30 days or more, up to four times in a calendar year.

Association	Minimum term	Frequency limit	Other documented rules
Maple Ridge at Ave Maria HOA	30 days	2 leases in any 12 months	Whole homes only; written leases on association forms; no more than 2 persons per bedroom; a possible $500 damage escrow; background check fee of up to $100
Del Webb Naples	30 days	No more than 4 times in a calendar year	Whole units only; the age-restricted occupancy rule applies
All other neighborhoods	Not published online	Not published online	Read the declaration and the resale package before you plan to rent

Source: Maple Ridge at Ave Maria HOA rules and regulations (document dated December 2020 in its file properties) and the Del Webb Naples governing documents. Rules are amended over time, so confirm the current version with the association manager.

Short-term rentals and Collier County

Collier County Ordinance 2021-45, effective January 3, 2022, requires a short-term vacation rental to register with the county when a home is rented in stays of less than 30 consecutive days more than three times in a calendar year. Ave Maria is unincorporated, so the county rule applies, but the Maple Ridge and Del Webb Naples rules above set a 30-day floor of their own, which means nightly rentals are not allowed in those two. A home that is rented also loses its homestead exemption.

What to request before you plan to rent

Ask for the recorded declaration, the association's rules and regulations, the lease form the association requires, the screening or application fee, any deposit or escrow, and the written answer to how many leases per year are allowed in your specific association. Ask the Master Association whether tenants may use the amenities: its Fitness Center issues tenants a key card for a one-time $30 fee with a copy of the lease.

What amenities does Ave Maria have?

Amenities in Ave Maria include a Town Center with shops, restaurants and a Publix, North Park and South Park, a Water Park, a Fitness Center, a Tennis Center, dog parks and neighborhood clubs. The parks, Water Park and Fitness Center are for residents and their guests and are run by the Master Association. Data updated: October 2026.

The town center (La Piazza)

The Town Center is the walkable commercial core around Annunciation Circle and Avila Avenue, with the Residences of La Piazza condominiums above retail. La Piazza Publix Center, at 4975 Avila Avenue, has a full Publix with a pharmacy. The developer's directory, last modified September 10, 2026, lists restaurants, a bakery, a hardware store, banks and services, including Blue Agave Mexican Restaurant, Cold Stone, Dunkin', Sunshine Ace Hardware and First Foundation Bank. Businesses change, so confirm hours and tenants before a visit.

Parks, trails and the water park

North Park, at 4010 Anthem Parkway, has soccer and baseball fields, a basketball court, a tot-lot playground, two pavilions, a concession stand and walking paths. South Park, at 5415 Ave Maria Boulevard, has a softball field, a dog park, an amphitheater, two pavilions and eight bocce courts. The Water Park, at 4015 Anthem Parkway, has a resort-style pool, a cascading spa, water volleyball, four 25-meter lap lanes, a kids pool, slides, a beach volleyball court and pavilions. A field or pavilion rents for $100 per four-hour slot and the amphitheater for $250. We do not print a Water Park ticket price because the Master Association says prices vary by season and day.

The Fitness Center and the Tennis Center

The Fitness Center, at 5072 Annunciation Circle, Unit 106, is open from 5 am to 10 pm daily to residents 16 and older, with a key card. An owner's first key card is free, an extra card is $25 and a tenant pays $30 once. The Master Association also manages a Tennis Center, a Community Room and dog parks. Golf carts are common in town, and every golf cart must be registered with the Master Association for approval.

Neighborhood amenity centers

Three neighborhoods have clubs of their own. The Club at Maple Ridge is open to Maple Ridge and Silverwood residents, the Oasis Club and Grand Hall serve Del Webb Naples, and The Hammock, with a pool, fitness center and racquet center, serves The National. The developer labels each club exclusive to its neighborhood, and the golf and club sections above explain how membership is attached.

Golf

Ave Maria has two 18-hole courses: Panther Run Golf Club inside Del Webb Naples, which is open to the public, and The National Golf and Country Club, which sells public tee times and attaches a social or golf membership to many homes. Both were designed by Gordon Lewis. Our Naples golf homes for sale guide compares them with coastal golf communities.

Shopping, groceries and medical offices in town

NCH Medical Group Family Medicine and Immediate Care are at 5360 Ave Maria Boulevard, Unit 120, and Healthcare Network, a community clinic, is in the same suite. The developer's directory also lists primary care and specialist offices, dental, optical and hearing providers. Immediate care is not an emergency room, and the hospitals section below covers emergency care. For groceries, the Publix is the only full supermarket in the Town Center that we found.

Events open to the public

The Town Center hosted public events in 2026, including the Sunshine State Steak Cook Off on January 24, Taste of Ave on January 31, Blues, Brews and BBQ on February 14, the Shamrock Festival on March 14 and the Margaritas and Taco Festival on March 28. The Ave Maria Farmers Market begins its 2026 to 2027 season on Saturday, November 7, 2026, from 9 am to 2 pm in the Welcome Center parking lot. Resident events such as the Fall Festival at North Park are aimed at residents.

Is Ave Maria in a flood zone?

Flood zones in Ave Maria vary by parcel: FEMA's effective map put 6 of 10 sampled points in Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, and 4 in Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area. Check the exact home, because a lender requires flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage in Zone AH.

What FEMA maps show

We queried FEMA's effective National Flood Hazard Layer on October 28, 2026 at 10 Ave Maria points. We name areas, not street addresses, and we assign the Zone AH points to an area only where the geocoded point names one.

Sampled area	Points	FEMA zone	In a Special Flood Hazard Area
Town Center	3	X, minimal flood hazard	No
South Ave Maria	2	X, minimal flood hazard	No
Mayflower Way	1	X, minimal flood hazard	No
Del Webb Naples, south	1	AH	Yes
East side of town	1	AH	Yes
West side of town	2	AH	Yes

The panels covering Ave Maria are 12021C0255H, 12021C0260H, 12021C0265H and 12021C0270H, all effective May 16, 2012. A scan of the whole town returned 921 flood zone polygons: 463 shaded X, 257 AH, 135 X minimal and 66 AE. A polygon count is not an area, and a point a hundred yards away can differ, so only a parcel-level determination settles a home. Ground elevation at five sampled points ran from 22.5 to 25.8 feet, so mapped Zone X and Zone AH areas sit side by side at nearly the same height. FEMA's base flood elevation lines in the town read 18.0 to 23.0 feet (NAVD88), and the elevation certificate for a home shows its finished floor.

Collier County lists Ave Maria as one of four basins in FEMA's Physical Map Revision 2. Preliminary maps were issued on March 20, 2025, FEMA published its proposed determination on December 18, 2025, and as of August 1, 2026 the county had identified no Letter of Final Determination or effective date. Preliminary maps are not regulatory, so the 2012 panels remain the effective maps until FEMA sets a date.

Evacuation zone

Collier County's hurricane evacuation layer returned Zone F, the last of the county's zones A through F, for both the Town Center and Del Webb Naples points, and no evacuation order was in effect on October 28, 2026. Ave Maria is about 24 to 30 road miles from the Gulf of Mexico, so rain, wind and tornadoes drive the risk more than storm surge. Look up an exact address on the county's evacuation lookup or the state's Know Your Zone tool before storm season.

Storm history

The official record for Ave Maria itself is short. On September 10, 2017, during Hurricane Irma, the National Weather Service in Miami logged a 66 mph sustained wind at 6:00 PM EDT and an 89 mph gust at 5:25 PM EDT at Ave Maria. Inland Collier County received 9 to 15 inches of rain, up to 20 inches in Felda and Big Cypress, and the National Hurricane Center counted at least 88 buildings destroyed and 1,500 badly damaged across the whole county. We do not print Hurricane Ian or Hurricane Milton figures for Ave Maria because the official reports we reviewed list no Ave Maria observations, and we do not describe any storm as causing no damage here.

Flood and wind insurance notes

A lender requires flood insurance on a federally backed mortgage for a home in a Special Flood Hazard Area such as Zone AH, and anyone can buy flood coverage in any zone. Unincorporated Collier County is a Community Rating System Class 5 community, which Collier's 2024 newsletter says gives a 25 percent discount on eligible National Flood Insurance Program policies; the discount does not apply to private flood policies. Citizens Property Insurance, the state insurer of last resort, can write a policy only where private insurers do not offer comparable coverage within 20 percent of its price, and it does not insure a dwelling with a replacement cost of $700,000 or more. Under the 2025 statute Citizens also requires flood coverage on personal residential policies: from January 1, 2026 where replacement cost is $400,000 or more and from January 1, 2027 on all of them, and at issuance for homes in a Special Flood Hazard Area. We print no premiums.

Building code and wind mitigation

The Florida Building Code, 8th Edition (2023), has applied since December 31, 2023 and uses the ASCE 7-22 wind maps. A home is built to the code edition in force when it was permitted, so ask the builder or the county for the permit year. The state's mitigation verification form (OIR-B1-1802) records roof shape, roof deck attachment, roof-to-wall connections, a sealed roof deck and opening protection such as impact windows or shutters, and a licensed inspector completes it. We do not repeat builder statements about wind ratings or elevation above the flood line, because the flood map shows homes in both zones; ask for the elevation certificate instead.

Which schools serve Ave Maria addresses?

Collier County Public Schools opened Ave Maria Elementary School, at 4050 Anthem Parkway North, in August 2026 as the first public school in town, with about 400 students expected in its first year. The district assigns middle and high schools by address, so confirm the zoned schools for a home on the district's zone lookup.

Zoned public schools

Level	School	Status
Elementary	Ave Maria Elementary School, 4050 Anthem Parkway North	Ribbon cutting August 3, 2026; first day August 11, 2026; about 400 students in year one; no Florida Department of Education school grade yet because it is new
Middle	Assigned by address	Use the district zone lookup
High	Assigned by address	Use the district zone lookup

Use the Collier County Public Schools zone lookup with the exact address, because the district publishes its middle and high school boundaries as maps and zones can change. The district earned an A for the 2025-26 school year and the Academically High-Performing School District designation. Students may request out-of-zone approval or school choice under School Board Policy 5120. We do not rank schools, and a school grade describes a school, not a home.

Private schools in Ave Maria

Ave Maria Catholic Academy, at 4955 Seton Way, serves pre-kindergarten through grade 12. It was formerly Rhodora J. Donahue Academy, the Diocese of Venice acquired it in 2018, and the Ave Maria Sun reported on August 5, 2026 that the name changes in 2027, although the school's website already uses the new name. Ave Maria Montessori, listed by the developer, serves children ages three to six. We found no charter school physically in Ave Maria and print no tuition, so ask each school for current fees.

Ave Maria University

Ave Maria University is a private Catholic university that opened on a temporary campus in fall 2003 and on its permanent campus for the 2007 to 2008 academic year. It reports about 1,400 students for fall 2025 on a campus of about 750 acres, and it lists 27 varsity sports, with home games ticketed through the university. The Oratory, dedicated in March 2008, has been the Ave Maria Catholic Church parish of the Diocese of Venice since January 19, 2017. We mention the university and the church as landmarks and employers only, and the federal enrollment figure is in the IPEDS fall enrollment survey.

Hospitals and emergency care near Ave Maria

Emergency care for Ave Maria homes is hospital-based in Naples, because no hospital or emergency room operates in town yet. NCH North Naples Hospital is 26.4 modeled road miles from the Town Center and Physicians Regional Medical Center is 31.6, and NCH Immediate Care at 5360 Ave Maria Boulevard handles urgent, non-emergency needs in town.

NCH Family Medicine and Healthcare Network, a community clinic, are in the same Midtown suite as immediate care. The Fire Control District's Station 32 in town houses firefighters and Collier County EMS personnel around the clock, according to the developer's directory.

The planned NCH hospital

NCH announced on October 14, 2025 a 150-bed hospital on 18 acres donated by Barron Collier Companies and Ave Maria Development. Phase one is a 24-hour emergency department. The Naples Daily News reported emergency room construction starting in May 2027 and an opening in November 2028, and those dates are plans, not commitments, so do not buy a home counting on them.

Where is Ave Maria?

Eastern Collier County holds Ave Maria, an unincorporated town in ZIP 34142 at the intersection of Oil Well Road and Camp Keais Road, 6.9 modeled road miles from Immokalee and 36.1 from Naples Fifth Avenue South. Collier County, not a city government, provides general local government, and the main entrance is on Oil Well Road near Camp Keais Road.

These are modeled times with no traffic or signal delay, so they are a floor, and peak-season trips run longer. The Florida Department of Transportation confirms that Exit 111 on I-75 is CR 846, Immokalee Road. In round numbers, Immokalee is about 7 miles and 15 minutes, Naples Fifth Avenue South about 36 miles and an hour, and RSW about 41 miles and an hour. Our Naples homes for sale and communities guide covers the coastal side of that drive.

Is Ave Maria a city?

No. Ave Maria is an unincorporated master-planned town and census-designated place in eastern Collier County. The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District, an independent special district created by Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida, which became law on June 17, 2004, finances and maintains community infrastructure. The county's planning documents call the area the Town of Ave Maria Stewardship Receiving Area, a zoning designation inside the county's Rural Lands Stewardship Area, not a municipality. It has no mayor, council or charter of its own.

Is Ave Maria in Naples or Immokalee?

Neither. Ave Maria is its own town in unincorporated Collier County, and the county roll codes its parcels to the city AVE MARIA in ZIP 34142. Immokalee is a separate community about 7 miles away, and Naples is the nearest coastal city, about 36 road miles away. Listings may describe an Ave Maria address as Naples or as Immokalee, so search by the city and the neighborhood name.

Who provides water, sewer and internet?

Ave Maria Utility Company provides water, wastewater and irrigation service, and Lee County Electric Cooperative provides electric service. Waste Pro handles trash and recycling according to the Master Association. The Master Association lists Comcast for cable and internet, but providers vary by address and builder agreements, so check availability for the exact home before you rely on a provider.

What is changing near Ave Maria

On June 9, 2026, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners voted 4 to 1 to amend the Town of Ave Maria Stewardship Receiving Area. The amendment adds about 2,042 acres (7,970 in total), allows 6,738 more homes (a maximum of 17,738, up from 11,000) and about 996,000 square feet of commercial space, including a roughly 1,000-acre area for residents 55 and older east of Camp Keais Road. State and environmental approvals were still pending after the vote. House Bill 4023, which would have changed the stewardship district's boundary, died on March 13, 2026, so the district status of the 55 and older area is not settled; the developer says it will not be part of the district.

Arthrex, the orthopedic device maker, operates a 420,000 square foot campus in town and has confirmed an expansion to 511,000 square feet, and about 2,100 of its 11,000 employees work there. Midtown Plaza opened on May 17, 2025, and Anthem Square, about 21,000 square feet of retail, was scheduled to start construction by the end of 2026. In its January 2026 capital update, Collier County listed only design work for a roundabout at Immokalee Road and Camp Keais Road, with design running from February 2026 to August 2027, and a second northbound right-turn lane at Immokalee Road and Oil Well Road that was fully designed and waiting on easements. We found no funded construction schedule for four lanes on Oil Well Road through the Ave Maria entrance.

How Ave Maria compares with Babcock Ranch and nearby communities

Compared with Babcock Ranch, Ave Maria sits in Collier County rather than Charlotte and Lee counties, has a different developer, charges a $203 quarterly master fee against $408 at Babcock, and levies a different special district assessment. Both are master-planned towns with new-home builders, so the table sets the published facts side by side. Data updated: October 2026.

Our Babcock Ranch homes for sale guide covers that town in the same detail. The table below uses each place's own published records, and it labels which figures are developer-reported and which come from the county.

Factor	Ave Maria	Babcock Ranch
Location	Unincorporated eastern Collier County, ZIP 34142	Charlotte and Lee counties; the developer lists Fort Myers about 30 minutes and Naples under an hour away

Sources for each row are listed under Sources: the Collier County record and the Ave Maria district budget for the left column, and the developer, the district's FY2026 documents, RCLCO and the school sites for the right.

How to read the comparison

The two sales rows measure different things. The Ave Maria figure is a county-recorded closing that passed the qualification test, while the Babcock Ranch figure is a count the developer reports to the press and RCLCO reports as sales in its ranking of master-planned communities. Neither number can be subtracted from the other, and a ranking says how many sales a community recorded, not how well a particular home fits a particular buyer.

The fee rows differ in what they include. Babcock Ranch's $408 quarterly master fee includes $135 of internet service, and Ave Maria's $203 quarterly fee does not, so a buyer comparing monthly costs should add each place's neighborhood association dues, internet and the district line from the tax bill. The district rows are ranges across home types and lot sizes, not averages.

Distance and daily trips

Ave Maria sits 36.1 modeled road miles from Naples Fifth Avenue South, and the developer's directions put it about 20 miles east of Interstate 75 by Immokalee Road and Oil Well Road. Babcock Ranch's developer states Fort Myers is about 30 minutes away and Naples under an hour. Both are inland towns with a town center, so the groceries, schools and clubs inside each one shape how often a household drives out.

Other nearby communities

Within Collier County, Naples communities range from coastal condominium towers to golf communities, and our guide to new construction in Naples compares builders across the county. Miromar Lakes homes for sale in Lee County is a lake-oriented master-planned community with its own district and club structure. Figures for those places stay on their own pages, so that each page uses one county's records.

Questions to ask on any master-planned community

Ask the same questions of every community on a short list. What does the master association fee cover, and what is excluded? What does the special district assess for this home type, and when does the debt end? Which builder is selling, and what does that builder's price include? What do the association's governing documents say about leasing, pets, vehicles and exterior changes? What zone does the lender's flood determination give this address, and what does insurance quote? Which schools zone to the address, and which are charter or choice schools? Each answer lives in a document, and Domain Realty Group will request those documents for any Ave Maria home you are weighing.

The history of Ave Maria

Founded in 2005 by Barron Collier Companies and the Ave Maria Foundation, Ave Maria opened in July 2007 around Ave Maria University and has grown to 5,756 homes on the county roll. Collier County's June 9, 2026 vote allows a maximum of 17,738 homes, up from 11,000.

Barron Collier Companies and the founding

Ave Maria was developed by Ave Maria Development, LLLP, an affiliate of Barron Collier Companies, which states that it is the same development entity that began the town in 2005. The institutional histories describe the town as a partnership between Barron Collier Companies and the Ave Maria Foundation, led by Domino's Pizza founder Tom Monaghan, with construction of the permanent university campus and the town starting in 2005. Sources disagree on the exact year the town "opened," so this page uses founded in 2005 and opened in 2007: the town officially opened in July 2007, and the permanent Ave Maria University campus welcomed students for the 2007 to 2008 academic year after the university's temporary campus opened in fall 2003.

Ave Maria University is a private university with roughly 1,400 students in fall 2025, located in the center of town. The Ave Maria Oratory was dedicated in March 2008, and on January 19, 2017 the Diocese of Venice bought it from the university, after which it became Ave Maria Catholic Church. This page describes these institutions as landmarks of the plan and says nothing about who lives in the town; Ave Maria homes are sold to any buyer under the federal Fair Housing Act.

Entitlements: the Rural Lands Stewardship Area and the town plan

Ave Maria was built under Collier County's Rural Land Stewardship Area program, an overlay of about 185,000 acres adopted in 2002 that protects environmentally sensitive land and directs growth into approved towns, villages and hamlets through a system of development credits. An area approved for a town inside that overlay is a Stewardship Receiving Area, or SRA. The Town of Ave Maria SRA was first approved in 2005 and is a zoning designation with a master plan that sets development standards. It is not a separate municipality, which is why Collier County, not a city hall, issues permits and sets zoning.

The town's size limits have moved in steps. In June 2023 the county raised the 4,000 acre town cap by 1,000 acres, and the Florida Legislature, in Chapter 2023-333, expanded the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District by about 1,001 acres. In February 2025 the county removed the 5,000 acre cap on town size. On June 9, 2026 the Board of County Commissioners voted 4 to 1 to amend the SRA, adding about 2,042 acres (7,970 in total) and allowing a maximum of 17,738 homes.

The Ave Maria Stewardship Community District itself was created by special act, Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida, which became law on June 17, 2004. A bill in the 2026 session (HB 4023) that would have removed about 1,001 acres from the district passed its first House committee 14 to 0 on December 11, 2025 and died in the Ways and Means Committee on March 13, 2026, so the developer's stated plan to place the age-restricted area outside the district is not law in the public record this page reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ave Maria homes for sale

These are the questions Ave Maria buyers ask most, answered from the Collier County record, the stewardship district's FY2026/27 budget, association and builder pages, FEMA, Collier County Public Schools and routing from the Town Center. Each answer carries the dates used above, so every figure can be checked below.

What county is Ave Maria in?

Collier County, Florida. Ave Maria is an unincorporated town in eastern Collier County, so the county provides zoning, permits, the tax roll and public safety, and the Collier County Property Appraiser codes its parcels to the city AVE MARIA, ZIP 34142. Naples is the nearest city, about 36 road miles away.

Is Ave Maria a city?

No. Ave Maria is an unincorporated master-planned town and census-designated place with no mayor, council or charter.

What ZIP code is Ave Maria?

Ave Maria is ZIP code 34142, a code it shares with Immokalee. The Collier County roll lists 7,903 parcels with the city field AVE MARIA, so a search for Ave Maria FL, Ave Maria Naples or Ave Maria 34142 homes for sale points at the same town in eastern Collier County.

How many homes are in Ave Maria?

The Collier County record counts 5,756 homes in Ave Maria, 4,662 single-family and 1,094 condominium, among 7,903 parcels as of October 2026. Collier County's June 9, 2026 vote allows a maximum of 17,738 homes in the town plan, up from 11,000, so the count will keep growing.

What is the median home price in Ave Maria?

Collier County recorded 440 qualified Ave Maria home sales from October 3, 2025 to October 2, 2026 at a median of $362,000, or $230 per heated square foot.

How many homes sold in Ave Maria last year?

Collier County recorded 440 qualified Ave Maria home sales in the 12 months through October 2, 2026, down from 790 in the 12 months before. Of the 440, 221 were builder-direct first sales and 219 were resales, so resales were about half of the market. Data updated: October 2026.

What do Ave Maria condos sell for?

There were 180 qualified condominium sales in the 12 months through October 2, 2026 at a median of $234,500, or $181 per heated square foot, with sales running from $175,000 to $430,000. Terrace condominiums at The National accounted for the five lowest recorded sales, all between $175,000 and $180,000.

Across 260 qualified single-family sales in the 12 months through October 2, 2026, the median was $476,000, or $244 per heated square foot, with the top sale at $1,200,000. Neighborhood, lot, year built and builder drive the spread, so compare a listing with sales in its own neighborhood.

What is the most expensive recent Ave Maria sale?

The highest sale recorded in the 12 months through October 2, 2026 was $1,200,000 for a single-family home in Maple Ridge, recorded February 2, 2026. The next was $1,008,500 in Del Webb Naples on November 24, 2025, followed by $949,500 in Maple Ridge. We list neighborhoods, not street addresses, for individual sales.

What is the least expensive way into Ave Maria?

Condominiums. The five lowest recorded sales in the latest 12 months were Terrace condominiums at The National, from $175,000 to $180,000. On builder sites on October 28, 2026, Lennar listed Terrace plans from $256,862 as a future release and ready Coach Homes at $264,000 and $279,998, all asking prices.

Is there new construction in Ave Maria?

Yes. Four builder brands list new homes as of October 28, 2026: CC Homes in Maple Ridge and Silverwood, Del Webb in Del Webb Naples, Pulte in Avalon Park and Gatherpoint, and Lennar in Gatherpoint and The National. Their own sites list prices from $256,862 to $874,990, which are asking prices, not sales.

Who builds homes in Ave Maria?

CC Homes builds Maple Ridge and Silverwood, Pulte builds Avalon Park and Gatherpoint, Del Webb builds Del Webb Naples, and Lennar builds The National and part of Gatherpoint. Older sections, such as Hampton Village, Emerson Park and Bellera Walk, are mostly resales, so a buyer there is purchasing from a prior owner.

Who developed Ave Maria?

Ave Maria Development, LLLP, an affiliate of Barron Collier Companies, developed Ave Maria, working in partnership with the Ave Maria Foundation led by Tom Monaghan. Groundbreaking for the town and the permanent university campus was in 2005, and the town officially opened in July 2007.

Is Del Webb Naples in Ave Maria?

Yes. Del Webb Naples is the Del Webb community inside Ave Maria, and its parcels carry the county's city field AVE MARIA and ZIP 34142. It is the town's age-restricted neighborhood, and Del Webb listed homes from $299,990 on October 28, 2026 as an asking price. Searchers use both names for one place.

Is Ave Maria a 55+ community?

No. Only Del Webb Naples and its Mayflower Way condominiums are age restricted. Their recorded governing documents require at least one occupant 55 or older and bar occupants under 19, with exceptions the documents list, such as grandfathered parcels. Every other Ave Maria neighborhood has no age restriction.

Is Ave Maria gated?

Not as a town. Gated access is neighborhood by neighborhood: the builders describe Del Webb Naples, The National and Gatherpoint as gated. The Town Center shops and restaurants are open to the public, while the parks, Water Park and Fitness Center are for residents and guests under Master Association rules.

Is a golf membership required in Ave Maria?

Not in most neighborhoods. Del Webb Naples golf is optional and capped at 600 memberships, and Panther Run Golf Club is open to the public. The National's membership type depends on the home and the year of sale, so ask the club and the seller which membership transfers with a particular home.

Does Ave Maria have a CDD?

Yes, in effect. Ave Maria has the Ave Maria Stewardship Community District, an independent special district created by special act, Chapter 2004-461, Laws of Florida, on June 17, 2004. A five-member board governs it, and its assessment appears on the November property tax bill with other non-ad valorem assessments.

What does the stewardship district cost?

The district's adopted FY2026/27 per-unit assessment runs from $1,387.20 for attached homes to $2,673.47 for single-family homes. It combines $984.20 for operations and reserves, up from $841.98, with debt service by bond series. The exact amount for a home is the line on its tax bill.

What is the property tax rate in Ave Maria?

The 2025 rates by taxing authority add up to about 12.2558 mills, or $1,225.58 per $100,000 of taxable value, for a home in the Immokalee Fire Control District, before the stewardship district assessment. The exact total is on the parcel's TRIM notice and tax bill, so estimate from your purchase price.

Will my property taxes change after I buy?

Usually yes. A seller's capped homestead assessment does not transfer to the buyer, so the assessed value resets to market value after a sale, and taxes should be estimated from the purchase price, not the seller's last bill. Homestead requires permanent residency on January 1, and the application is filed with the Collier County Property Appraiser by March 1.

What are the HOA fees in Ave Maria?

Every owner pays the Ave Maria Master Association $203 a quarter ($812 a year) for 2026. Neighborhood dues are separate: Del Webb Naples publishes a social assessment of $859.80 a quarter, while Maple Ridge and The National dues are not published, so request each association's approved budget and resale package.

What does the Master Association fee pay for?

The Ave Maria Master Association says its fee funds the management and maintenance of North Park, South Park, the Water Park and the Fitness Center, pays contractors for community services, and runs lifestyle events. It is managed by FirstService Residential. Neighborhood associations separately maintain their own common areas and enforce their own rules.

Is Ave Maria in a flood zone?

It depends on the address. FEMA's effective map put 6 of 10 sampled Ave Maria points in Zone X and 4 in Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area, on panels dated May 16, 2012. Look up the exact address on FEMA's Map Service Center, and ask the lender for the flood determination during underwriting.

What evacuation zone is Ave Maria in?

Collier County's evacuation layer returned Zone F, the last of the county's zones A through F, for both the Town Center and Del Webb Naples points, and no evacuation order was in effect on October 28, 2026. Check the exact address on the county's evacuation lookup before storm season.

Which schools serve Ave Maria addresses?

Ave Maria Elementary School at 4050 Anthem Parkway North, part of Collier County Public Schools, opened for its first day on August 11, 2026. Middle and high schools are assigned by address, so enter the exact address in the district's zone lookup, because boundaries are published as maps and can change.

How far is Ave Maria from Naples?

Naples Fifth Avenue South is 36.1 modeled road miles from the Ave Maria Town Center, about 58 minutes with no traffic, and Vanderbilt Beach is 29.9 miles, about 51 minutes. The route runs to I-75 Exit 111 on Immokalee Road, 20.2 miles away. Peak-season trips run longer than the model.

How far is Ave Maria from the airport?

Southwest Florida International Airport is 40.8 modeled road miles from the Ave Maria Town Center, about 61 minutes without traffic, and downtown Fort Myers is 41.9 miles, about 63 minutes. These are free-flow estimates from October 28, 2026 routing, so allow extra time for peak traffic and construction.

Where is the nearest hospital to Ave Maria?

NCH North Naples Hospital is the closest full-service hospital at 26.4 modeled road miles and 44 minutes, and Physicians Regional Medical Center on Collier Boulevard is 31.6 miles. NCH Immediate Care at 5360 Ave Maria Boulevard handles urgent, non-emergency needs in town. A planned 150-bed NCH hospital is a plan, not a commitment.

Who provides water in Ave Maria?

Ave Maria Utility Company provides water, wastewater and irrigation service, Lee County Electric Cooperative provides electricity, and Waste Pro handles trash and recycling according to the Master Association. The association lists Comcast for cable and internet, but providers vary by address and builder agreement, so confirm each service for the home.

Can I rent out a home in Ave Maria?

It depends on the neighborhood. Maple Ridge allows leases of 30 days or more, up to two in any 12 months, and Del Webb Naples allows 30 days or more, up to four times in a calendar year. Other neighborhoods do not publish terms online, and Collier County also regulates rentals under 30 days.

Is Ave Maria growing?

Yes. On June 9, 2026 Collier County commissioners voted 4 to 1 to add about 2,042 acres, bringing the town to 7,970 acres, and to allow up to 17,738 homes, up from 11,000. Ave Maria Elementary opened in August 2026, and Arthrex has confirmed an expansion of its campus to 511,000 square feet.

The county median was $230 per heated square foot for qualified sales in the 12 months through October 2, 2026: $244 for single-family homes and $181 for condominiums. Heated area comes from county records, so compare it only with other county-record figures, not with MLS price-per-foot figures.

Yes. Ave Maria University, a private university with roughly 1,400 students in fall 2025, is in the center of town, and its permanent campus opened for the 2007 to 2008 academic year. The Ave Maria Oratory, dedicated in March 2008, stands in the Town Center as a landmark of the plan.

Where do I shop for groceries in Ave Maria?

The Publix at the Town Center is the only full supermarket we found in town. La Piazza holds shops and restaurants, and Midtown Plaza, which opened May 17, 2025, adds NCH Immediate Care and other tenants. Tenants and hours change, so confirm with each business before relying on it.
