  • Falling Waters holds 786 condominium units in nine condominiums recorded from February 14, 1992 to December 17, 2002, and built 1992 to about 2007, so all 37 sales in the latest 12 months were resales and none came from a builder.

  • Listings in October 2026 show a quarterly condo fee of $1,900 at Rosewood up to $2,300 at Water Crest, with the master association fee inside it, and the estoppel certificate gives the exact figure for a unit.

Falling Waters condos for sale right now

Falling Waters condos for sale are linked below, filtered to the condominium names used by the MLS so one search catches all nine condominiums or just the one you want. Every search is sorted by price, high to low, with no listing count, because inventory changes daily. Data updated: October 2026.

Listing data refreshes from the MLS throughout the day. Falling Waters is built out and every unit is a condominium, so buyers here purchase resale condos, and for the wider market see our guide to Naples condos for sale. Falling Waters has no golf course, so for communities that bundle golf see our guide to Naples golf homes for sale.

Search Falling Waters condos by condominium

Four of the nine condominiums have their own search above because they are the four largest: Magnolia Falls and Rosewood with 144 homes each, Cascades with 110 and Amelia Lake with 104. The other five, Water Crest with 98, Falling Waters II with 90, Jasmine Court with 50, Magnolia Cove with 26 and Falling Waters I with 20, are caught by the all-Falling Waters search, which carries every name. The county recorded 8 Magnolia Falls sales, 7 Rosewood sales, 7 Amelia Lake sales and 2 Cascades sales in the 12 months to October 2, 2026, so the four searches are not equally busy.

Falling Waters condos under $300,000

Falling Waters condos under $300,000 are a real part of the market on the county record: 9 of the 37 sales in the 12 months to October 2, 2026 (24.3 percent) closed under $300,000, against 1 of the 28 sales in the prior 12 months. Rosewood had 4 of the 9, Falling Waters II 2, Jasmine Court 2 and Water Crest 1, and 3 more sales closed at exactly $300,000 in Amelia Lake, Cascades and Falling Waters I. Use the under $300,000 search and read each fee line, because a lower price can come with a different fee.

How to read a Falling Waters listing's fees

A Falling Waters listing shows one quarterly condo fee, and the master association fee is listed among its inclusions and not billed as a second line on any listing read in October 2026. Quarterly condo fee shown on listings, October 2026, runs from $1,900 at Rosewood to $2,300 at Water Crest, which is $7,600 to $9,200 a year (4 quarters), and the estoppel certificate gives the exact figure. Cable, internet, water and sewer are listed as included on most units.

Two traps are worth knowing. Some listings print an annual total instead of a quarterly fee, for example $7,760 or $10,656 a year, so check the period before comparing two units. And Magnolia Cove listings disagree, with $1,940 a quarter on one and $3,085 a quarter on another (2025 to 2026), so ask for the estoppel before you assume a figure. The cost section below prints each condominium's fee with its date.

What the MLS calls Falling Waters

The MLS and the listing feeds do not label every Falling Waters condo the same way. Most use the condominium name, such as Magnolia Falls, Rosewood, Cascades, Amelia Lake, Water Crest, Jasmine Court or Magnolia Cove. Falling Waters I is listed as Orchid Falls, the name of its section around the island pool, and some Falling Waters II units are listed under the generic name Falling Waters. A search for the words Falling Waters alone can miss the others, which is why the all-names search carries every one. Listings titled Falling Waters Beach Resort belong to a different community in ZIP 34114.

What have Falling Waters condos sold for?

Falling Waters condos sold at a median of $334,000 on the Collier County record: 37 qualified sales in the 12 months to October 2, 2026, from $250,000 to $550,000. The count is odd, so the median is the middle sale. Every sale was a resale, and the split by condominium below matters more than the headline. Data updated: October 2026.

Record and window Sales Median Low High
County, 12 months to Oct 2, 2026 37 $334,000 $250,000 $550,000
County, prior 12 months (Oct 2, 2024 to Oct 2, 2025) 28 $366,500 $267,500 $515,000
County, 24 months to Oct 2, 2026 65 $340,000 $250,000 $550,000

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser public data bundle, qualified improved sales over $1,000, newest qualified Collier sale in the index dated October 2, 2026. The 12-month and 24-month counts are odd, so each median is the middle sale; the prior-12-month count is even, so its median is the mean of the middle pair. None of the 37 sales in the latest 12 months were first sales from a builder, so every sale was a resale. All 786 homes are condominiums, so there is no single-family split.

Last 12 and 24 months

The 12-month count of 37 sales is 9 more than the 28 of the prior 12 months, and the median moved from $366,500 to $334,000, a difference of $32,500 or 8.9 percent. The 37 sales equal about 4.7 percent of the 786 condos, against about 3.6 percent for the prior 12 months. By quarter, the 12-month window held 6 sales from October 3 to December 31, 2025, 14 in the first quarter of 2026, 15 in the second and 2 in the third to October 2. Recorded sales reach the county roll with a lag, and the newest Falling Waters sale in the list is dated September 28, 2026.

By condominium

Falling Waters sits in nine condominiums and the sample in each is small, so read the table as a description of what closed and not as a price for the condominium. Where a window had three or more sales the table prints a median; where it had one or two, the sales are listed, because a count of one or two is never a median.

Condominium (county name) Homes Sales and median, 12 months Range, 12 months Prior 12 months 24 months
Magnolia Falls 144 8 at $372,500 $334,000 to $465,000 6 at $405,000 14 at $392,000

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser public data bundle, windows ending October 2, 2026, grouped by recorded condominium name; the condominiums sum to 786 homes, 37 sales in 12 months, 28 in the prior 12 months and 65 in 24 months. The prior-12-month column is derived from the 24-month sale list by subtracting the latest 12 months. Magnolia Falls, Water Crest and Jasmine Court have even 12-month counts, so those medians are the mean of the middle pair; Magnolia Falls also has an even prior-12-month count. Cascades and Falling Waters I have too few sales for a median and are listed.

The order matters more than any one figure. Magnolia Falls, Amelia Lake and Water Crest, three of the newer condominiums, sit above $345,000 in the latest 12 months, while Rosewood, Falling Waters II and Jasmine Court sit between $290,000 and $302,500. Magnolia Cove's one sale at $550,000 is the top of the whole range and belongs to a 26-home condominium, so it does not describe the community.

Comparing like with like

The all-sales median fell from $366,500 to $334,000, and the like-for-like condominium medians moved the same way but by different amounts. Magnolia Falls moved from 6 sales at $405,000 to 8 at $372,500, a difference of 8.0 percent. Rosewood moved from 5 at $320,000 to 7 at $290,000, 9.4 percent. Amelia Lake moved from 5 at $376,000 to 7 at $347,000, 7.7 percent. Mix also changed: Rosewood, Falling Waters II and Jasmine Court, the three lowest-priced condominiums, made up 14 of the 37 latest sales (37.8 percent) against 9 of the 28 a year earlier (32.1 percent). These samples are small, so use them as a direction and not as a price for a unit.

Price bands

In the latest 12 months, 9 of the 37 county sales closed between $250,000 and $299,999, 15 between $300,000 and $349,999, and 5 at $400,000 or more. No sale closed under $250,000 in any of the three windows.

The shift is visible in the bands. In the prior 12 months, 12 of 28 sales (10 plus 1 plus 1) closed at $400,000 or more, and in the latest 12 months 5 of 37 did. Sales between $250,000 and $349,999 went from 11 of 28 to 24 of 37.

How have Falling Waters prices moved since 2016?

Falling Waters' recorded medians moved in steps and not on a line. The county's calendar-year medians ran from $214,500 to $252,000 across 2016 to 2021, stepped up to $410,000 in 2022, peaked at $412,500 in 2023 and have been between $340,000 and $397,750 since. The 2026 row covers January 1 to October 2 only, and every sale in every year was a condominium.

Year Sales Median Low High
2016 53 $214,500 $168,500 $360,000

The 2022 to 2023 peak and what followed

The Falling Waters median was $252,000 on 64 sales in 2021 and $410,000 on 51 sales in 2022, a rise of $158,000 or 62.7 percent in one year, and it was $412,500 on 28 sales in 2023, the highest annual median in the table. Sales then ran at 20 in 2024 at $397,750, 31 in 2025 at $345,000 and 31 in 2026 to October 2 at $340,000. Between 2023 and 2026 to October 2 the median is $72,500 lower, 17.6 percent, but those are medians of different years and different mixes of condominiums, so the like-for-like comparison above is the better guide to today. The table shows what closed in each year and does not explain why; it is a record, not a forecast.

Which nine condominiums make up Falling Waters?

Falling Waters is nine condominiums, recorded between February 1992 and December 2002 and holding 786 homes: Rosewood and Magnolia Falls with 144 each, Cascades 110, Amelia Lake 104, Water Crest 98, Falling Waters II 90, Jasmine Court 50, Magnolia Cove 26 and Falling Waters I 20. Each has its own association under one master association. Data updated: October 2026.

The Florida condominium registry (DBPR, downloaded October 30, 2026) lists all nine as approved and recorded, and the county roll counts 786 condo parcels plus one Jasmine Court common-area parcel, 787 in all. The table sets the nine side by side, and each has its own section after it. Parking is typical per recent listings, so confirm it for the unit; leases a year come from MLS listing fields in October 2026 and the declaration controls.

Who built Falling Waters and when

Falling Waters was developed in the early 1990s by the Hubschman family's Falling Waters Development Corporation, according to Florida Weekly (March 4, 2021), which reports that Sidney Hubschman oversaw its development and construction, and Florida corporate filing L20680 for the developer of record, which is now inactive. The nine condominiums were recorded over a decade, from 1992 to 2002, and the county roll shows buildings completed from 1992 to about 2007. Collier's planned unit development layer lists the Falling Waters PUD at 165.8 acres, which works out to about 4.7 condo homes per gross acre, with much of the land in lakes and landscaped common areas.

Falling Waters I

Falling Waters I is 20 condominium homes, the smallest of the nine, recorded on February 14, 1992, the first of the nine, and shown by the county as built in 1992 on Hidden Lake Drive. The association describes the section as surrounding the large island pool with most units having a direct sight line to the pool, and the MLS lists it as Orchid Falls. Falling Waters I and II share Hidden Lake Drive with overlapping street numbers, so a street number alone cannot place a unit. The county recorded 1 sale in the latest 12 months at $300,000 on February 20, 2026, and 1 sale in the prior 12 months at $315,000 on June 30, 2025; neither is a median.

Falling Waters II

Falling Waters II is 90 condominium homes recorded on May 27, 1992 and shown by the county as built in 1992 and 1993, on Hidden Lake Drive in 9 building addresses. Listings show a carport and 12 leases a year, and some feeds list its units under the generic name Falling Waters. The county recorded 3 sales in the latest 12 months at a $290,000 median from $265,000 to $365,000, which were $290,000 on October 16, 2025, $365,000 on March 13, 2026 and $265,000 on April 17, 2026, and 3 sales at $305,000 in the prior 12 months.

Rosewood

Rosewood is 144 condominium homes recorded on February 25, 1993, the widest span of build years in Falling Waters, from 1992 to 2007 with a median of 1994, on Windy Pines Drive in 16 building addresses. The association describes an island within its lake reached by dual bridges, with a paved walkway and seating area. Listings show carports and 12 leases a year, and describe low-rise buildings with two floors. The county recorded 7 sales in the latest 12 months at a $290,000 median from $250,000 to $330,000, and 5 sales at $320,000 in the prior 12 months.

Jasmine Court is 50 condominium homes recorded on March 16, 1993 and shown by the county as built in 1993 to 1995, on Hidden Lake Drive in 6 building addresses numbered 2225 to 2325. Listings describe two-story buildings with a carport and 12 leases a year. The county also carries a separate common-area parcel named Jasmine Court at Falling Waters, which is why the county parcel total is 787 and not 786. The county recorded 4 sales in the latest 12 months at a $302,500 median from $250,000 to $329,000 (an even count, so the mean of the middle pair) and 1 sale in the prior 12 months at $300,000.

Water Crest

Water Crest is 98 condominium homes recorded on February 11, 1994 and shown by the county as built in 1994 to 2002, on Hidden Lake Drive in 10 building addresses numbered 2329 to 2415. Listings show a garage and 4 leases a year, and Water Crest carries the highest of the eight clean quarterly condo fees shown on listings, $2,300 in October 2026. The county recorded 4 sales in the latest 12 months at a $362,500 median from $295,000 to $475,000 (an even count, so the mean of the middle pair), and 3 sales at $415,000 in the prior 12 months.

Cascades

Cascades is 110 condominium homes recorded on December 5, 1994 and shown by the county as built in 1995 to 2000, on Cascades Drive in 9 building addresses. The association describes nine two-story buildings located around two lakes, and listings show a garage and usually 12 leases a year, with one listing at 3. The county recorded 2 sales in the latest 12 months, $318,000 on January 29, 2026 and $300,000 on May 15, 2026, and 2 in the prior 12 months, $355,000 on March 17, 2025 and $439,900 on May 13, 2025. With two sales in each window there is no median to print; the 24-month count is 4 at $336,500.

Magnolia Cove

Magnolia Cove is 26 condominium homes recorded on April 22, 1999 and shown by the county as built in 1999 and 2000, on Magnolia Lane in 5 building addresses numbered 2326 to 2352.

Amelia Lake

Amelia Lake is 104 condominium homes recorded on December 17, 2002, the last of the nine, and shown by the county as built in 2002 to 2005, on Bayou Lane in 8 building addresses.

Source: Florida DBPR condominium extract downloaded October 30, 2026 for units, condominiums and ZIP; Falling Waters Beach Resort association pages and January 2026 rules for its entrance and structure; OSRM free-flow routing on October 30, 2026 for the distance, which peak traffic lengthens. Unit counts are per DBPR.

Why the names get mixed

The three communities share a name, and the state condominium registry lists all of them under the same 7200 Davis Boulevard developer address, so an address on a state record alone does not prove which community a unit belongs to. Falling Waters North Preserve's own registry row also reads 7200 Davis Boulevard with ZIP 34112. Some portal descriptions of the Davis Boulevard community repeat a figure of 430 luxury condominiums, which is the Falling Waters Beach Resort count, so a page that says 430 for this community is describing a different one.

Three checks before you trust a Falling Waters figure

Check the ZIP first: 34112 is this community, 34114 is Falling Waters Beach Resort and 34110 is Falling Waters North Preserve. Check the condominium name second: the nine here are Rosewood, Magnolia Falls, Cascades, Amelia Lake, Water Crest, Falling Waters II, Jasmine Court, Magnolia Cove and Falling Waters I. Check the entrance third: this community is entered from Falling Waters Boulevard off Davis Boulevard, with the clubhouse at 7275 Falling Waters Boulevard. Every sale, fee, tax and flood figure on this page belongs to the Davis Boulevard community only.

What does it cost to own a Falling Waters condo?

Falling Waters condo owners pay a quarterly condo fee of about $1,900 to $2,300, depending on the condominium, plus property tax at 10.3696 mills and their own unit-owner insurance. Listings read on October 30, 2026 place the master association inside that fee, and the 2026 tax roll shows no community development district. Data updated: October 2026.

Quarterly condo fees by condominium

Each of the nine condominiums sets its own fee, and no first-party fee schedule is public. The figures below are the quarterly condo fee shown on listings in October 2026; the estoppel certificate gives the exact figure for any unit. Annual amounts are four times the quarterly figure (arithmetic). Never treat one number as "the Falling Waters fee".

Condominium Quarterly condo fee shown Annual (4 x quarterly) Listing and date
Rosewood $1,900 $7,600 Unit sold April 30, 2026 at $310,000; an active Rosewood listing in October 2026 shows the same $1,900
Magnolia Falls $1,940 $7,760 Active listing, October 30, 2026
Cascades $1,990 $7,960 Active listing, October 30, 2026
Jasmine Court $2,036 to $2,037 $8,144 to $8,148 Active listing and a unit closed September 30, 2026
Falling Waters II $2,072 $8,288 Listed June 10, 2026
Amelia Lake $2,080 $8,320 Unit closed September 24, 2026
Water Crest up to $2,300 $9,200 Two units closed in September 2026
Magnolia Cove $1,940 to $3,085 (two listings disagree) $7,760 to $12,340 One closed October 15, 2026 at $1,940; one sold June 9, 2025 at $3,085
Falling Waters I None found None found No listing with a fee field was read

Across the eight condominiums with a clean figure the range is $1,900 to $2,300 a quarter, or $7,600 to $9,200 a year. The Magnolia Cove listings disagree by $1,145 a quarter (arithmetic: $3,085 minus $1,940), and the county places both addresses in the same condominium, so we print the range and no single fee. Another view of the same fee: one Falling Waters II listing shows $10,656 a year in total recurring fees, and one Magnolia Falls listing shows $7,760 a year.

Fees move. A Rosewood sale record from 2023 shows $1,475 a quarter, against $1,900 in 2026, an increase of about 29 percent (arithmetic: $425 divided by $1,475). A Falling Waters II sale in August 2025 showed $1,972 a quarter against $2,072 on a June 2026 listing, and an Amelia Lake sale in February 2026 showed $2,094 against $2,080 in September 2026. Those earlier reads come from search excerpts and older sale records, so treat them as direction and not as a schedule.

What the condo fee covers on listings

Listings itemize what the quarterly fee includes in fields that differ by unit, so the list below is a sample and not a guarantee. The documents that settle it are the adopted budget and the estoppel certificate.

Condominium Inclusions named on listings (sample)
Rosewood Irrigation water, lawn, pest control, recreation facilities, road maintenance, street lights, trash, water, and on another listing cable, insurance, manager and reserve
Magnolia Falls Cable and internet, insurance, master fee, pest control, recreation facilities, reserve, sewer, trash, water
Amelia Lake Cable, internet, insurance, master fee, reserve, sewer, water
Water Crest Cable, internet, insurance, manager, recreation facilities, reserve, sewer, water
Falling Waters II Cable TV, insurance, irrigation water, grounds, pest control, recreation facilities, street lights, water
Magnolia Cove Association management, cable, internet, irrigation water, grounds, pest control, recreation, road maintenance, street lights, trash, water
Cascades, Jasmine Court Not itemized on the listings read

The master association is the part buyers ask about most. Every Falling Waters listing read shows one quarterly condo fee, the maintenance fields list a master fee inside it, and one listing shows a separate master fee of $0. That means the master share rides inside the condominium's bill. How the master splits its budget among the nine condominiums is not confirmed from a source we could read, so ask for the master budget and for the master estoppel along with the condominium's.

No listing or public source read names a current special assessment in any of the nine condominiums, and no news or association source names a Falling Waters roof, painting, pool or storm assessment. That is not proof there is none. The estoppel certificate must list any special assessment scheduled to become due, and the last 12 months of board minutes show any vote pending.

Property taxes

Every Falling Waters parcel sits in Collier millage area 268, and the 2026 certified roll (file dated October 27, 2026) totals 10.3696 mills, down from 10.5058 mills in 2025. That is $1,036.96 for each $100,000 of taxable value (arithmetic: 10.3696 divided by 1,000, times 100,000). Falling Waters is in unincorporated Collier County, so no city tax applies.

Levy 2025 mills 2026 mills
Collier County general fund 3.0107 3.0107
Unincorporated general MSTD 0.6844 0.6844
Water pollution control program 0.0246 0.0246
Conservation Collier 0.2096 0.1772
School board, state law 2.0010 1.8990
School board, local 2.2480 2.2480
Greater Naples Fire Rescue District 2.0000 2.0000
South Florida Water Management 0.0948 0.0948
Big Cypress Basin 0.0978 0.0978
Collier Mosquito Control 0.1349 0.1331
Total 10.5058 10.3696

The drop of 0.1362 mills (arithmetic: 10.5058 minus 10.3696) came from the state school levy, Conservation Collier and mosquito control. The school share of the 2026 rate is 4.1470 mills and the non-school share is 6.2226 mills (arithmetic: 10.3696 minus 4.1470).

The worked examples below use taxable values of $100,000, $275,000 and $335,000. Each non-homestead bill is the taxable value times 0.0103696. The homestead column subtracts $25,000 from the school base and $50,000 from the non-school base, so it is approximate: the second exemption is indexed, and homestead eligibility depends on the buyer. Taxable value is assumed equal to price, which slightly overstates a bill because county just value usually sits below price.

Taxable value Calculation (non-homestead) Non-homestead bill Approximate bill with homestead Approximate homestead saving
$100,000 100,000 x 0.0103696 $1,036.96 not shown not shown
$275,000 275,000 x 0.0103696 $2,851.64 $2,436.84 $414.80
$335,000 335,000 x 0.0103696 $3,473.82 $3,059.01 $414.81

The homestead bill at $275,000 is (250,000 x 0.004147) plus (225,000 x 0.0062226), or $1,036.75 plus $1,400.09 (rounded), which is $2,436.84. The same method at $335,000 is (310,000 x 0.004147) plus (285,000 x 0.0062226), or $1,285.57 plus $1,773.44, which is $3,059.01. The saving is the same $414.80 at both values because the exemptions are flat dollar amounts: 25,000 x 0.004147 is $103.68 and 50,000 x 0.0062226 is $311.13 (rounded).

The roll also shows what neighbors are billed today. These are the 2026 median total bills by condominium, from the Collier County Property Appraiser's 2026 certified roll (public data bundle dated October 27, 2026), computed for this page.

Condominium Units Homesteaded units Median total bill, all units Median, homesteaded Median, non-homesteaded
Rosewood 144 23 $2,621.66 $1,574.72 $2,673.49
Magnolia Falls 144 36 $2,935.00 $2,049.23 $2,986.89
Cascades 110 25 $2,935.00 $2,095.07 $2,935.00
Amelia Lake 104 32 $2,935.00 $2,381.82 $2,986.89
Water Crest 98 33 $2,708.46 $2,112.94 $2,838.07
Falling Waters II 90 17 $2,553.15 $1,413.18 $2,553.15
Jasmine Court 50 9 $2,569.79 $1,264.80 $2,569.79
Magnolia Cove 26 10 $3,782.82 $3,254.79 $3,782.82
Falling Waters I 20 5 $2,553.15 $1,413.18 $2,553.15
All Falling Waters 786 190 $2,682.52 $2,013.34 $2,834.69

Across all 786 units the median just value is $274,420, with a range of $241,215 to $369,800. Of the 786 units, 596 (75.8 percent) are not homesteaded, and four units pay $0 because they are fully exempt. A seller's bill is not a buyer's bill. A buyer's taxable value resets toward market value after a sale, and homestead, if the buyer qualifies and files, starts the following year.

No community development district

Falling Waters has no community development district. The 2026 certified roll shows $0.00 in non-ad valorem taxes on all 787 Falling Waters parcels (the 786 condos plus one Jasmine Court common-area parcel), and the ten levies in millage area 268 include no district. Collier's roll carries a flat non-ad valorem charge of $269.77 on many single-family parcels elsewhere in the county, and it does not appear on any Falling Waters parcel. The roll does not name that charge, so for any other property ask your title company which levy it is. Our statement here is limited to what the roll shows.

A worked annual carrying cost for a Rosewood unit and a Water Crest unit

A condo owner's yearly bill is the quarterly condo fee, property tax and a unit-owner policy, plus utilities and cable not in the fee. The two illustrations use the county's 12-month median sale price for each condominium: Collier County recorded 7 qualified Rosewood sales in the 12 months to October 2, 2026, at a $290,000 median, and 4 qualified Water Crest sales at a $362,500 median (an even n, so the mean of the middle pair; the four sales were $295,000, $340,000, $385,000 and $475,000). With only 4 sales the Water Crest figure is a thin read, so use it as an illustration.

The fee is the October 2026 listing figure from the table above. Tax is the price times 0.0103696. The insurance line is Citizens Property Insurance's approved 2026 Collier County average for an HO-6 condo unit-owner policy, $1,738 a year, effective July 1, 2026; it is a county average and not a quote, and private carriers price each unit separately.

Annual cost, illustration Rosewood at $290,000 Water Crest at $362,500
Condo fee, 4 x quarterly ($1,900 and $2,300) $7,600.00 $9,200.00
Property tax, no homestead (price x 0.0103696) $3,007.18 $3,758.98
Unit-owner policy, Citizens Collier HO-6 average $1,738.00 $1,738.00
Total, no homestead $12,345.18 $14,696.98
Monthly equivalent (total divided by 12) $1,028.77 $1,224.75
Property tax with homestead (approximate) $2,592.38 $3,344.18
Total with homestead (approximate) $11,930.38 $14,282.18
Monthly equivalent with homestead $994.20 $1,190.18

The two units differ by $2,351.80 a year without homestead (arithmetic: $14,696.98 minus $12,345.18), and $1,600 of that is the fee gap ($9,200 minus $7,600). The table leaves out electricity and any utility not in the fee, the gate credentials in the section below, any mortgage payment, and any special assessment. Cable, internet, water and sewer are in the fee on most units according to listings, so check the inclusion field for the unit you want to see what your own utility bills would cover.

Buyers who set a budget ceiling can search condos under that ceiling directly: see Falling Waters condos under $300,000, or browse all Falling Waters condos for sale. For the nine condominiums side by side, the Naples condos for sale page shows the wider market.

One-time costs at purchase

A Falling Waters buyer meets a few association charges at purchase, separate from the closing costs a title company quotes.

Item Amount What the record shows
Condominium application (approval) fee $150 on listings Florida caps a condominium approval fee at $184 per applicant as adjusted by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR); the statute's base figure is $150
Estoppel certificate Up to $299 Statute base $250; DBPR's adjusted figure is $299
Rush estoppel (3 business days) Plus $119 Statute base $100
Estoppel with delinquent amounts Plus $179 Statute base $150
Owner gate credentials $15 per barcode, $15 per proximity card, $20 per fob Two maximum of each; master association forms dated January 1, 2025 (read October 30, 2026)
Capital contribution or transfer fee None found No listing read shows one; the estoppel lists it if one exists

The estoppel certificate is due within 10 business days, and DBPR's published amounts apply until its next update, due by July 1, 2027 (DBPR estoppel fee schedule, read October 30, 2026). Falling Waters has two tiers, a condominium and a master, so ask whether the master issues its own estoppel and which tier bills the owner; we could not confirm that from a source.

The Falling Waters clubhouse, pool and courts

Falling Waters has one shared amenity campus, not nine: a clubhouse at 7275 Falling Waters Boulevard, an island resort pool, two lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, two bocce courts, an 18-hole putting green, two shuffleboard lanes and horseshoe pits. All nine condominiums share it. The list below is as published by the association, read October 30, 2026.

Facility Count and detail Hours and rule
Clubhouse, 7275 Falling Waters Blvd Dance floor, library, kitchen, conversation areas, big-screen TV, large upper deck over the pool 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Member Center (inside the clubhouse) Registers guests and renters Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Wi-Fi Two networks, one for the clubhouse and deck, one for the Member Center Free
Resort pool Island, waterfall, moat, tiki huts, lounges, umbrella tables Swimming 8 a.m. to sunset; deck 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.; no lifeguard; proximity card entry
Tennis 2 lighted Har-Tru courts Social and league play
Bocce 2 courts Bocce on the weekly calendar every day at 8 a.m.
Putting green 18 holes Posted rules
Shuffleboard 2 lanes Posted rules
Horseshoes Pits Posted rules

The association also lists sidewalks throughout the community and describes Falling Waters as nestled among waterfalls and lakes. Each of the nine condominiums publishes a document library and a board page, and none lists its own pool, clubhouse or court, so buyers in every condominium use the same campus.

The resort pool

The association describes the pool as one of the largest in Southwest Florida and puts it at about 400,000 gallons by its own count, with an island in the middle, a waterfall and a moat around it. We attribute that size to the association and do not repeat it as our claim. A traced outline on OpenStreetMap measures about 11,000 square feet of water (mapped outline, computed October 30, 2026), which gives a sense of scale. Falling Waters I, the smallest condominium at 20 units, surrounds the island pool, and most of its units have a direct sight line to the water, per the association's page for that section.

The pool rules the association posts say there is no lifeguard on duty. They also bar running, diving, climbing on the waterfall or island, and playing in the moat. Swimming runs from 8 a.m. to sunset and the deck stays open until 9 p.m., and pets are never allowed in the pool area. Guests and renters register through the Member Center and use a proximity card, covered in the access section below.

Waterfalls, lakes and walks

The association says waterfalls cascade throughout the community, which is the origin of the name, though it publishes no count. OpenStreetMap contributors have mapped 11 fountain or water-feature points and 6 lakes inside a traced outline of about 109 acres, with the lakes totaling about 6.7 acres (mapping counts, not a survey; the trace covers part of the planned unit development's 165.8 acres, so it undercounts). The same map shows about 2.05 miles of footway inside the outline. The association sets a 15 mph speed limit on all roadways because of joggers, bikers and walkers, and warns that brick pavers and tree roots can be trip hazards.

Three sections describe their water on their own pages. Cascades is 110 condos in nine two-story buildings around two lakes. Rosewood has an island in its lake reached by dual bridges, with a paved walkway and seating area. Amelia Lake describes 104 condos, many of which surround its lakes.

The social calendar as published

The association's weekly calendar, read October 30, 2026, is marked "subject to availability of leaders and participants". Events organized by the Activities Committee are color coded on the calendar, and paid events register and pay on the association's site.

Activity Day and time on the calendar
Bocce Every day, 8 a.m.
Water aerobics Daily; 9 a.m. and 10 a.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday; 10 a.m. other days
Walk Away the Pounds Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 8:15 a.m.
Mahjongg Monday and Friday, 1 p.m.
Canasta Tuesday, 12:30 p.m.
Bingo Tuesday, 6 p.m., January to March
Bridge Wednesday, 1 p.m.
Dominoes Thursday, 6:30 p.m.

The bocce committee's page says more than 200 players take part in organized leagues, social evenings and tournaments. The Fall 2026 bocce league plays Mondays from October 12 to November 9, 2026, with a playoff on November 10; the entry fee is $20 per person, and non-residents may join after residents. A couples league plays on Wednesday to Friday evenings in six groups of 10 to 12 couples (2025 sheet). A bowling league plays at an off-site lanes, and the tennis group fields USTA league teams.

An undated association page lists a wider set of events, among them happy hours, luncheons, theater events, casino trips, poolside functions with live music, a Dip and Dog barbecue and fashion shows. Because that page carries no date, ask the Member Center what runs in the season you plan to be here.

What is not here: golf, pickleball and a fitness room

Falling Waters has no golf course and no golf membership. The only golf feature in the association's materials is the 18-hole putting green. Buyers who want a golf-bundled community can browse Naples golf homes for sale. The nearest public golf by road from the clubhouse is the Flamingo course at Lely Resort, 5.5 miles and 16 minutes away (free-flow estimate). Hibiscus Golf Club is 4.0 miles and 9 minutes away; it sold in March 2026 for $28 million to a buyer planning a members-only club, and it stays public into 2027 (through March 2027 per its newsletter, until the end of April 2027 per a spokesman). Two private golf clubs sit beside the area, at 1.2 and 2.0 road miles.

No pickleball court appears on any association list or on the map of the grounds. The association's published amenity list also names no fitness room, gym or exercise room; some listing copy says otherwise, but the association does not confirm one. What the calendar does publish is group exercise: water aerobics every day as scheduled above and a walking class three mornings a week. There is no marina or boat storage either, and boats, RVs and trailers are barred unless kept inside a garage.

Gate, access and parking at Falling Waters

Falling Waters is a gated community with an attended gate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., after which entry takes a vehicle barcode, proximity card or fob, or an eight-digit PIN at the guest kiosk. Parking varies: garages in five of the nine condominiums, carports in the rest, per recent listings. Confirm any unit.

Gate hours and credentials

The gate attendant works from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. After 10 p.m. a driver enters with a barcode on the car, a proximity card or fob, or a PIN at the kiosk. The PIN is eight digits, valid 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., and the Member Center issues it. The association also states that video surveillance is part of the community. A barcode opens the residents' lane, and the proximity card or fob also opens the pool and clubhouse. We do not describe the gate as guarded around the clock, because the association publishes the attended hours above.

Credentials are priced by who holds them, per the master association's forms dated January 1, 2025 (read October 30, 2026). The rates are effective January 1, 2025, so confirm today's amounts with the Member Center.

Who Total Barcode Proximity card
Owners $30 $15 $15
Guests with the owner in residence $30 $15 $15
Renters and guests without the owner, up to 30 days $160 $80 $80
Renters and guests, 31 to 60 days $210 $105 $105
Renters and guests, more than 60 days $230 $115 $115

An owner's application is $15 per barcode and $15 per proximity card, or $20 for a fob in place of a card, with a maximum of two of each, and it asks for the vehicle registration and a photo ID. A returned proximity card earns a $5 refund when the renter leaves. For rentals, the owner or the owner's agent sends the gate form and the fee two weeks before arrival, with the check payable to Falling Waters Master, 7275 Falling Waters Blvd. Annual leases renew on the anniversary date at the fee noted above, and the owner signs for any damage a renter or guest does to common areas. The owner also files a separate rental application with the condominium association, covered below.

Total credential cost for one owner who takes two barcodes and two proximity cards is $60 (arithmetic: 2 x $15 plus 2 x $15).

Garages and carports by condominium

Parking is the most uneven feature across the nine condominiums. The table summarizes what recent listings show, labeled "typical, per recent listings; confirm per unit". It is not an association statement, and the declarations and parking assignments settle it.

Condominium Units Parking typical on listings
Magnolia Falls 144 One detached garage, about 12 by 24 feet; the association describes its 144 condos in 12 buildings as having garages
Cascades 110 One garage; nine two-story buildings
Amelia Lake 104 One garage, attached on one listing and detached on others
Water Crest 98 One detached garage
Magnolia Cove 26 Detached two-car garage
Rosewood 144 One carport, and on one listing a second assigned covered space; no garage
Falling Waters II 90 One carport
Jasmine Court 50 One carport
Falling Waters I 20 Carport on a Hidden Lake Drive listing; not seen on others

That sorts the nine into two groups. The five condominiums with garages hold 482 units (arithmetic: 144 + 110 + 104 + 98 + 26), and the four with carports hold 304 units (arithmetic: 144 + 90 + 50 + 20), which together are the community's 786. OpenStreetMap contributors have mapped 111 carport structures inside the traced outline, a mapping count and not a census. The master rules refer to a garage "not a carport" for storage, which is how we know both exist.

RVs, boats and trailers

The master association's information sheet bars recreational vehicles, boats and trailers unless they are inside a garage, not a carport. A visitor's RV may stay for 24 hours in the clubhouse overflow lot, after which it can be towed at the owner's expense. For buyers with a boat or an RV, that makes a garage unit the practical choice, and the table above is where to start. Some condominiums add their own limits, and listing fields show "No Commercial", "No Truck" and "Limited Number Vehicles" restrictions on some units. Quiet hours run 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. across the community.

Rules a Falling Waters buyer lives under

Falling Waters buyers live under two layers of rules. The master association sets the gate, pool, speed limit and credential rules, and each of the nine condominium associations sets its own leasing, pet and parking rules, which the master says should be provided in each condo by the owner. Read the specific condominium's documents before you offer.

Approval and application

Whether a condominium approves buyers or renters is set in its declaration. For rentals the record is specific: the owner files a rental application with the condominium association for approval, in addition to the master gate registration. Rental pages we read show a $150 application fee and a 30-day approval period. Florida allows a condominium approval fee only if the documents require approval and provide for a fee; DBPR's adjusted cap is $184 per applicant, spouses or parents with dependent children count as one applicant, and there is no fee for renewing a lease with the same tenant. We found no interview requirement for any of the nine condominiums in the sources read, and each declaration settles that.

Leasing minimums and leases a year by condominium

Every Falling Waters listing read shows a minimum lease of 28 or 30 days, which means no nightly rentals inside the community. The number of leases allowed per year differs by condominium.

Condominium Minimum lease on listings Leases per year on listings
Amelia Lake 28 days 4 (one listing also reads "No Rental")
Water Crest 28 days 4
Magnolia Falls 28 or 30 days 6 ("28-day minimum" and "up to six leases per year" in one listing)
Magnolia Cove 30 days 6
Rosewood 28 days 12
Jasmine Court 30 days 12
Falling Waters II 30 days 12
Cascades 30 days on most (one listing 28) 12 on most (one listing 3)
Falling Waters I None found None found

The feed disagrees with itself on some units, so confirm the lease rule in that condominium's declaration. Older rental listings show other seasonal rules, such as a 21-day minimum from April to December or three-month minimums in winter; those pages are undated, and rules may have changed. Florida law adds a point buyers miss: under section 718.110(13) of the Florida Statutes, an amendment that bans rentals, changes the rental term or limits leases per year binds only owners who consent and owners who acquire title after it passes. A buyer is therefore bound by whatever rental rule is recorded at closing, so the listing's "28 / 12" shorthand is not enough. Fannie Mae treats daily and short-term rentals as an ineligible project trait, and Falling Waters' 28 to 30 day minimums sit outside daily rental, but the lender decides.

Pets and vehicles

Pet rules are set condominium by condominium. The pet field on sale listings reads "with approval" or "limits" in Amelia Lake, Magnolia Falls and Cascades, and "limits" in Falling Waters II, Jasmine Court and Rosewood; one Rosewood rental unit allows no pets. We read no pet field for Water Crest, Magnolia Cove or Falling Waters I. Pets are never allowed in the master pool area. Several listings carry "No Corporate Buyer" in the restriction field, including a Jasmine Court listing, which matters to a buyer purchasing through an entity.

For vehicles, the master rule on RVs, boats and trailers applies community-wide, and some condominiums add truck, commercial and vehicle-count limits. Request each of these for any unit you consider:

  • The declaration, articles and bylaws of the condominium.
  • The rules and regulations, including pet, lease and vehicle rules.
  • The master association's rules and the gate and amenity credential forms.
  • The minutes of the last 12 months, which show pending rule changes and assessments.

Buying a Falling Waters condo: inspections, reserves and financing

Buying at Falling Waters means checking the building, the budget and the loan, not only the unit. None of the 77 building addresses appears on Collier County's milestone list, as of January 2026, and the buildings are low-rise, so the state's three-story rules are not expected to apply. Reserves and lender reviews still matter. Data updated: October 2026.

Milestone inspection status

Collier County's milestone list, "as of January 2026", holds 926 condominium building rows. We searched it for every Falling Waters street (Windy Pines Drive, Hidden Lake Drive and Court, Cascades Drive, Bayou Lane, Magnolia Lane and Avenue) and every condominium name, and found no match. The county roll gives 77 distinct building street numbers across the nine condominiums: Rosewood 16, Magnolia Falls 12, Water Crest 10, Cascades 9, Falling Waters II 9, Amelia Lake 8, Jasmine Court 6, Magnolia Cove 5 and Falling Waters I 2 (the count is a proxy for buildings).

Florida's milestone inspection rule, section 553.899, covers condominium buildings three habitable stories or taller, with a first inspection by December 31 of the year the building reaches 30 years from its certificate of occupancy, then every 10 years. Listing building fields read "Low Rise (1-3)" and "2 Story, Garden Apt", and the association documents Cascades as nine two-story buildings. So the buildings are not expected to be covered; we do not say "exempt", and the contract statement described below is the buyer's confirmation. The oldest Falling Waters buildings date to 1992, so a three-story building from that year would have needed a first inspection by 2024, and none is listed.

SIRS and reserves for two-story buildings

The structural integrity reserve study (SIRS) under section 718.112(2)(g) is required at least every 10 years for each condominium building of three habitable stories or higher. For older associations the first study was due by December 31, 2025. By the same height test, a SIRS is not expected for Falling Waters.

Reserves are a separate question. Section 718.112(2)(f) requires reserve accounts in every condominium budget for roof replacement, building painting and pavement resurfacing. But members of an owner-controlled association may vote, by a majority of all voting interests, for no reserves or less reserves, and the ban on waiving reserves applies only to associations that must have a SIRS. So a Falling Waters buyer must read each condominium's budget for the reserve line and for any waiver vote in the annual meeting minutes. Lenders test reserves, as the next section shows. Every listing read shows a tile roof; roof ages by building are not confirmed, so ask for the reserve schedule.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac changes in 2026 and 2027

Two dated changes affect a financed purchase. Fannie Mae retires its Limited Review process for applications on or after August 3, 2026, as Florida Realtors reported on May 12, 2026, and Freddie Mac allows Streamlined Review only for applications received before August 3, 2026. Florida Realtors reported on May 12, 2026 that Fannie Mae's replacement reserve expectation rises from 10 percent to 15 percent of annual budgeted income in January 2027; the Selling Guide's Full Review page, read October 30, 2026, still shows 10 percent, so ask the lender which test applies on your application date.

Date Change Source
May 12, 2026 Florida Realtors reports the 2026 and 2027 condominium financing changes Florida Realtors
August 3, 2026 Limited Review retired (Fannie Mae); Streamlined Review limited to applications received before this date (Freddie Mac) Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
August 5, 2026 Fannie Mae Selling Guide ineligible-projects and Full Review topics dated Fannie Mae Selling Guide
January 2027 (scheduled) Reserve expectation rises from 10 to 15 percent of budgeted income, as reported; not yet in the Selling Guide read October 30, 2026 Florida Realtors

The letter's expanded waiver of project review covers projects of ten or fewer units, and projects of five to ten units only if they are not part of a master association. Every Falling Waters condominium has 20 to 144 units and sits under a master association, so no Falling Waters condominium qualifies and every financed purchase goes through a Full Review (derived). The Selling Guide lists what makes a project ineligible, including unfunded repairs over $10,000 per unit due within 12 months, a special assessment tied to an unremediated critical repair, structural or safety litigation, and more than 15 percent of units 60 or more days past due on assessments. It also limits one owner to 20 percent of units in a project of 21 or more units; Falling Waters I, at 20 units, falls under the smaller-project limit instead. A master policy's per-unit deductible may not exceed $50,000, and when it has one the borrower carries a unit-owner policy.

FHA and VA approval of any Falling Waters condominium is not confirmed in our sources, so ask the loan officer to check the lists for the specific condominium before you rely on either loan.

Questions a lender asks

Falling Waters raises two questions a lender will put to the condominium. The first is reserves: a budget with reserves between 10 and 15 percent of assessment income meets the 10 percent test the Selling Guide shows today but would fall short of the 15 percent level reported for January 2027. The second is the master association, because the condo fee includes the master fee and the lender looks at the master's budget too. Mandatory amenity fees are ineligible only when an outside party owns the amenity; the clubhouse and pool appear to be master association common areas, but who holds title is not confirmed from the recorded master declaration. Ask your loan officer to run the project review before the inspection period ends.

Documents to request before you go under contract

Florida Statutes section 718.503 (the statute text, 2026 Florida Statutes) entitles a resale buyer, at the seller's expense, to the declaration, articles, bylaws and rules, the annual financial statement and budget, the milestone summary if applicable, the latest SIRS or a statement that none was completed, and the question-and-answer sheet. For a Falling Waters unit, request this list:

  • Two estoppel certificates, one from the condominium and one from the Falling Waters Master Association, which together confirm the quarterly fee, the master share, any special assessment and any transfer or capital fee.
  • The adopted budget of the condominium and the master, with the reserve line shown as a percent of assessment income and any loan or line of credit.
  • The special assessment history and anything approved or pending, including roofs (every building is tile), painting, paving and the waterfalls and lakes the master maintains.
  • A statement that the building is under three habitable stories, or the milestone summary and SIRS if it is not.
  • The master and condominium insurance declarations, with the carrier, the wind deductible and any per-unit deductible above $50,000.
  • The declaration's lease and pet rules.
  • Where the association posts its official records, because a condominium of 25 or more units must post them on a website or app. Eight of Falling Waters' nine condominiums have 25 or more units; Falling Waters I, with 20, does not.
  • Your lender's written project review, started early.

The seven-day review window

Under section 718.503 a buyer may cancel a condominium resale contract within 7 days (excluding weekends and legal holidays) after the buyer receives the documents. Contracts signed after December 31, 2024 must also state in conspicuous type whether the association must have a milestone inspection or a SIRS, and where neither is required, that the association is not required to have either. A buyer is also jointly and severally liable with the previous owner for unpaid assessments up to the transfer, under section 718.116(1)(a), which is the reason to read the estoppel before closing. To talk through any of this on a specific unit, contact Domain Realty Group or call 239-441-2816.

Is Falling Waters in a flood zone?

Falling Waters sits outside FEMA's high-risk flood zone at every address we sampled. An October 2026 screening of 34 addresses across all nine condominiums found every one in Zone X on the 2024 flood map (panels 12021C0413J and 0414J, effective February 8, 2024), and every one in evacuation Zone C.

The October 2026 screening

The screening checked address points inside the nine condominiums against FEMA's effective 2024 map and its preliminary map. Zones are set address by address, so the table describes the sample and not any single unit. Check the exact address you are buying.

Condominium Units Sample points Effective 2024 map Panel Preliminary map Evacuation zone

Source: Flood screening of October 17, 2026 using FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer point queries, carried from our October 2026 Falling Waters research and not re-run on October 30, 2026. Some sample points repeat an address, so the count is of sample points and not of distinct buildings. The county's own 2024 flood layer at the center of the community also shows Zone X, an area of minimal flood hazard, with no base flood elevation. Collier's floodplain library holds no elevation certificates inside the planned development, so ground elevation by building is not published.

What the zone letters mean

Zone X is outside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area, and a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance only in A and V zones. FloodSmart says about one in three flood claims come from low and moderate risk zones, so many owners in Zone X still carry coverage on contents or the unit. Collier County holds Community Rating System Class 5, which FEMA's table pairs with a 25 percent premium reduction on eligible National Flood Insurance Program policies. One Magnolia Falls listing says "Not in a flood zone"; treat listing copy as a lead and confirm the zone for the exact address on FEMA's map.

The preliminary map

FEMA's proposed new map is countywide, and Collier opened the 90-day appeal period on August 19, 2026. On the preliminary panels 12021C0413K and 0414K, all 34 sampled Falling Waters condominium addresses stay in Zone X. That is a screening of sample points and not a statement about any home, so check the exact address on both the effective and the final adopted map.

Evacuation zone and the Coastal High Hazard Area

Every sampled Falling Waters address was in Collier evacuation Zone C in October 2026, and none was in the county's Coastal High Hazard Area. Florida's zones run from A to F, with Zone A ordered out first, and not every zone is ordered for every storm. Confirm an address each season on the state's Know Your Zone map, because the state can update its zone layer. The community drains to the Lely Canal Basin, where the county's approved allowable discharge is 0.06 cubic feet per second per acre.

Wind speed and building code

Collier's Florida Building Code, 8th Edition wind layer shows a design wind speed of 164 mph for Risk Category II buildings, which include houses and condominiums, at the center of Falling Waters. The map speaks to new construction and is not a rating of any building here. The statewide Florida Building Code took effect on March 1, 2002, and the nine condominiums straddle that date.

Condominium County year built range (median) Relation to the March 2002 code date
Magnolia Falls 2001 to 2006 (2006) Mostly after
Amelia Lake 2002 to 2005 (2004) Mostly after
Water Crest 1994 to 2002 (1997) Before
Cascades 1995 to 2000 (1997) Before
Magnolia Cove 1999 to 2000 (2000) Before
Jasmine Court 1993 to 1995 (1993) Before
Rosewood 1992 to 2007 (1994) Mostly before, some later buildings
Falling Waters I 1992 to 1992 (1992) Before
Falling Waters II 1992 to 1993 (1992) Before

Flood insurance: NFIP, private and the Citizens rule

Flood coverage comes from the National Flood Insurance Program or from private carriers, and Florida lets lenders accept private policies that meet state standards. From January 1, 2027 every Citizens personal residential policy with wind coverage must carry flood insurance at any home value, but condominium unit-owner policies are exempt. Citizens' notice of May 12, 2023 lists the HO-6 and HW-6 unit-owner forms as no longer needing flood coverage even inside a high-risk zone. All 786 Falling Waters units on a Citizens unit-owner form are therefore exempt today and after 2027. A new NFIP policy generally waits 30 days to take effect, with an exception tied to a loan closing.

A condominium association can buy a Residential Condominium Building Association Policy, the NFIP master flood policy for the building. Whether any of the nine Falling Waters associations carries one, or a private master flood policy, is not published. In Zone X with two-story buildings an association may carry none, so ask for the insurance declarations.

Condo insurance: the master policy and your HO-6

The association insures the buildings and common elements under Florida Statutes 718.111(11), and a replacement-cost appraisal is required at least every three years. Listings in October 2026 show insurance among the items included in the quarterly condo fee. A unit-owner HO-6 policy usually covers interior finishes, cabinets, fixtures and belongings as each declaration allocates, and Florida requires at least $2,000 of loss assessment coverage on it with a deductible of no more than $250. An HO-6 does not cover flood, so a flood-caused assessment needs flood coverage on the unit. The master carrier, premium, wind deductible and per-unit deductible for each condominium are not published, so ask for them. Fannie Mae's March 2026 lender letter caps the master policy's per-unit deductible at $50,000 and requires a borrower to carry an HO-6 when the master policy has a per-unit deductible.

What insurance costs

Citizens publishes county averages by policy form. The table shows its approved Collier averages for rates effective July 1, 2026. They are county averages across every Collier condominium, coastal high-rises included, and not Falling Waters quotes.

Citizens policy form, Collier County Policies Current average Approved average Change
HO-6 condo unit-owner multiperil 529 $1,959 $1,738 Down 11.3 percent
HW-6 condo unit-owner wind-only 595 $2,164 $2,001 Down 7.5 percent
HO-3 homeowners multiperil 1,712 $4,531 $4,261 Down 6.0 percent
All personal lines combined 6,162 $3,470 $3,328 Down 4.1 percent

Source: Citizens Property Insurance, 2026 Approved Rate Changes by County, linked from its March 4, 2026 release; rates apply to new policies on or after July 1, 2026 and to existing policies at renewal. The NAIC data behind ValuePenguin put the Florida average condo policy at $1,084 a year (page updated August 5, 2026), and the Insurance Information Institute put Collier's all-carrier homeowners average at $5,534 a year as of March 31, 2026. Neither is a Falling Waters quote. No source we read gives a Falling Waters premium, and private carriers price each unit by its coverage and features.

Four-point inspections and wind mitigation

Citizens requires a four-point inspection of the roof, electrical, plumbing and heating and air systems for properties more than 20 years old. It also asks for roof documentation showing at least five years of remaining life when a shingle roof is over 25 years old or a tile or metal roof is over 50 years old. Falling Waters buildings date from 1992 to 2007, so the oldest are 34 years old in 2026 and nearly all are past the 20-year line. Every listing we read shows a tile roof, which is inside the 50-year line on an original roof, but roof age by building is held in association records. Private carriers set their own triggers.

Florida's wind mitigation form, OIR-B1-1802, was revised for inspections from April 1, 2026 and stays valid for five years. In a condominium the report is usually made per building and held by the association, and any premium credit depends on the carrier. Ask the association or its manager for the building's report.

Hurricane deductibles and flood disclosure

Florida insurers must offer hurricane deductibles of $500, 2 percent, 5 percent and 10 percent, and the deductible applies once per calendar year with the same insurer, only to a declared hurricane from the first watch or warning until 72 hours after the last ends. Since October 1, 2024, Florida Statutes 689.302 requires a seller to disclose known flood damage, flood claims and federal flood aid at or before contract. No community-specific storm damage reports were found in public sources, so ask the seller and the association for the claim and assessment history of the building.

Falling Waters vs Countryside: how do they differ?

Falling Waters and Countryside are next-door neighbors off Davis Boulevard, 0.7 road miles apart, and the real choice is a bundled golf club or none. Falling Waters has 786 condominiums and no golf; Countryside has 1,133 homes, each with a deeded golf or social membership. Data updated: October 2026.

Source: Falling Waters Master Association materials as published, read October 30, 2026; Countryside Golf and Country Club membership page and FY2025-26 fee page; Collier County Property Appraiser public data bundle, window ending October 2, 2026; Falling Waters quarterly condo fees from MLS listing fields, October 30, 2026; OSRM free-flow routing from the pool beside the Falling Waters clubhouse. Fee years differ, and the Falling Waters fee figures are supporting listing data and not an association schedule.

What the fees say

The two fee stacks are built differently. A Falling Waters quarterly condo fee already contains the master share, and listings show cable, internet, water and sewer included on most units. A Countryside golf unit pays $7,417 in golf dues, $885.88 for cable and a $1,175.40 Countryside 2.0 assessment, a master layer of $9,478.28 (arithmetic), and then its own condo association fee on top. A Falling Waters annual figure of $7,600 to $9,200 is the whole condominium fee ($1,900 to $2,300 a quarter, times four). Compare the $9,478.28 master layer with the full $7,600 to $9,200, then add the Countryside local fee, and ask for the estoppel certificate on both.

What the sales say

In the same 12 months the county recorded 37 Falling Waters condominium sales at a $334,000 median and 31 Countryside condominium sales at a $315,000 median, a gap of $19,000. Countryside's all-sales median mixes in 14 single-family sales, so the like-for-like comparison is condo against condo. Both counts are small, and each is a recorded median over a single year.

Which product fits which decision

In product terms, Falling Waters offers a single all-in condo fee, no resale capital contribution found, a large shared resort pool and no club to join, with no pickleball and no golf. Countryside offers a deeded golf or social membership, a rebuilt clubhouse and four pickleball courts, with a $12,000 capital contribution and a higher master layer. Neither is a better product; they price different bundles. Our golf homes for sale in Naples page covers the bundled-golf side, and our Naples condos for sale page covers the wider condo market.

Falling Waters vs Sapphire Lakes: how do they differ?

Sapphire Lakes is the closest gated, non-golf, all-condominium alternative to Falling Waters, 2.5 road miles away on Radio Road. It has 590 units in 15 associations against Falling Waters' 786 in nine condominiums, and its recorded condo sales ran at a lower median, on a different window. Data updated: October 2026.

The two sales rows use different windows, so they are shown side by side and not subtracted.

The like-for-like control

Both communities are gated, have no golf and are condominium ownership of the same era, so most of the difference a buyer can act on is amenity mix and fee transparency. Sapphire Lakes spreads four pools and six pickleball courts across 15 associations. Falling Waters concentrates one large resort pool, a clubhouse and two tennis courts in a single master association. The Falling Waters median is $54,000 higher ($334,000 against $280,000), but the windows end on different dates (August 17 against October 2) and each is a single-year figure.

What is not comparable

Sapphire Lakes publishes no current budget, so its dues cannot be set beside Falling Waters' $1,900 to $2,300 a quarter. Ask for the budget and estoppel at either one before you compare, and ask each lender how it reviews the project, because the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac condominium rules apply to both.

How does Falling Waters compare with nearby condo communities?

Falling Waters sits among several ZIP 34112 and 34104 communities that appear on the same searches. Five stand out: Lakewood, Kings Lake, Berkshire Lakes, Royal Wood and Naples Heritage. Their recurring annual fees run from $472 to $11,621.40, depending mostly on golf, so compare the whole stack and not one line. Data updated: October 2026.

Community One-line difference from Falling Waters Road miles from the pool

What the county records show

The county rows below use the same window as the Falling Waters figures, 12 months to October 2, 2026. Lakewood's set is the 995-parcel master roster in ZIP 34112 and leaves out Lakewood Park, a separate plat in ZIP 34103. The Berkshire Lakes row counts the master association's plats and condominiums plus The Shores group (The Shores, Berkshire Pines and Preserve at the Shores, separate associations), the area the MLS files as Berkshire Lakes, so its parcel count runs above the master association's 1,639 units. The Kings Lake row uses its full recorded parcel set, including condominiums recorded under their own names, so its parcel count includes common tracts.

Community Parcels in the county set Published unit count All sales, 12 months Condo sales, 12 months

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser public data bundle, qualified improved sales over $1,000, 12 months ending October 2, 2026. The $263,500 Lakewood condo figure is the mean of the middle pair of an even count. Royal Wood and Naples Heritage have no county row: neither name-based parcel set reproduces the community, so their fee and membership figures come from the club documents alone.

Royal Wood and Naples Heritage

Both bundle a golf membership with the home, which Falling Waters does not. Royal Wood's 2026 owner application shows 800 members in six condominium villages plus single-family homes, a $7,848 annual maintenance fee billed semi-annually, a $600 food and beverage minimum, cable of $945.02 (inside condo fees for condo owners) and a $10,000 resale capital contribution. Naples Heritage's 2026 figures are $8,350 operating, $2,200 reserve, $371.40 internet and $700 campus expansion, which sum to $11,621.40 (arithmetic), plus a $500 food minimum, a $275 development district charge and a $17,500 capital contribution for new residents. Falling Waters has no community development district: the 2026 certified roll shows $0 in non-ad valorem assessments on all 787 parcels.

Kings Lake and Berkshire Lakes

Both are large, mixed communities with low master fees and a wide spread of product. Kings Lake's 2026 master fee is $472 a unit, with a 2027 budget proposed at $452 and a vote set for November 16, 2026. Berkshire Lakes' is $690 a unit, due January 1, with 1,639 units of which 669 are detached. Lakewood's public par 60 course is open without membership, and its community pool closed after October 31, 2024. In each, the building or sub-association budget sits on top of the master fee, so the Falling Waters fee, which includes the master share, is not directly comparable to a master line alone.

Falling Waters addresses sampled in October 2026 were zoned for Calusa Park Elementary, East Naples Middle and Lely High School for 2026-27, and the nearest full emergency room is Physicians Regional on Collier Boulevard, about 5.1 road miles from the clubhouse. Interstate 75 is 3.2 to 3.5 road miles away.

All distances in this section run from the Falling Waters clubhouse area by OSRM public routing, car profile, free-flow with no traffic, on October 30, 2026. They are free-flow estimates, and peak traffic and season are longer.

Zoned public schools

The zoning below is carried from a lookup of 12 Falling Waters addresses on October 17, 2026. Eight of the 12 returned the three schools below and four returned no result for any level, so we do not claim every address was matched. The district's printable boundary maps and its Interactive Zoning Tool settle an address, and the district reviews attendance areas every year, so confirm any address with Collier County Public Schools.

School Address Road miles and minutes 2025-26 school grade
Calusa Park Elementary 4600 Santa Barbara Boulevard 1.4 and 5 A
East Naples Middle 4100 Estey Avenue 2.8 and 6 A
Lely High 1 Lely High School Boulevard 4.8 and 13 B

A school grade is a state grade of the school and not a statement about any address. Golden Gate High is 3.9 road miles away but is not the zoned high school in the lookup.

Private schools nearby

Seacrest Country Day School, a private school at 7100 Davis Boulevard, is 0.9 road miles and 4 minutes from the clubhouse. We give the distance only, with no ranking and no tuition. Charter and private schools do not have district attendance zones.

Hospitals, emergency rooms and urgent care

Physicians Regional on Collier Boulevard and NCH Baker downtown are each about 5 to 6 road miles away. The only freestanding emergency department in Collier County, by NCH's own description, is NCH Northeast on Collier Boulevard, about 11.4 road miles away, so a freestanding ER is not close.

Facility Type Road miles and minutes
NCH Medical Group Immediate Care, Southeast Immediate care, not an ER 5.0 and 12
Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier Boulevard Hospital with 24-hour emergency room services, 130 beds 5.1 and 12

Fire, law enforcement and county services

Falling Waters is in unincorporated Collier County, and the Collier County Sheriff's Office covers unincorporated Collier. Fire protection is Greater Naples Fire Rescue, which appears on the community's 2026 tax roll at 2.0000 mills. The district's Station 75 on Santa Barbara Boulevard is about 0.9 road miles from the clubhouse (3 minutes), Station 20 at 4798 Davis Boulevard is 2.3 miles (5 minutes), Station 72 at 3820 Beck Boulevard is 3.4 miles (8 minutes) and Station 70 at 4741 Golden Gate Parkway is 4.2 miles (10 minutes). Per the county's water-sewer district map in its 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (February 2019), the Davis Boulevard and Santa Barbara Boulevard area is in the Collier County Water-Sewer District and not the City of Naples service area. Listings show water and sewer or irrigation water in the quarterly fee at Magnolia Falls, Falling Waters II, Amelia Lake, Water Crest and Rosewood, so ask for the fee schedule.

Interstate 75 and main roads

Falling Waters sits between two interchanges, and the better one depends on direction. Southbound and eastbound trips toward Miami and Alligator Alley use Davis Boulevard to Exit 101 at Collier Boulevard, about 3.2 road miles to the ramp. Northbound trips toward Fort Myers and Southwest Florida International Airport use Davis Boulevard, Santa Barbara Boulevard and Golden Gate Parkway to Exit 105, about 3.5 road miles to the on-ramp. FDOT is rebuilding the Exit 101 ramps with a flyover over Davis Boulevard, and its project page gives an expected completion date of early 2027; the eastbound Davis Boulevard direct ramp to southbound Collier Boulevard is permanently closed.

The association publishes only the clubhouse address, 7275 Falling Waters Boulevard. Naples Botanical Garden lists daily hours of 9am to 5pm on its own website.

Libraries, parks and beaches

Golden Gate Community Park is about 2.8 road miles away (8 minutes), Sugden Regional Park 4.3 (13 minutes), Cindy Mysels Park 4.1 (10 minutes) and East Naples Community Park 4.9 (11 minutes). The Golden Gate Branch Library is 4.4 road miles away (11 minutes) and South Regional Library 4.9 (12 minutes). Park and library positions come from OpenStreetMap and hours are not verified. Naples Pier and Lowdermilk Park are the nearest beaches in the table. Collier County offers residents a free beach parking permit with proof of residency, so check the county parks page for the current rules, and do not assume a part-time owner qualifies.

Market conditions in South Naples

South Naples, the NABOR area that includes ZIP 34112, recorded condominium closings at a $335,000 median in September 2026, with 111 days on market and 93.4 percent of list price received. NABOR files ZIP 34112 under South Naples and not East Naples. Data updated: October 2026.

September 2026 in ZIP 34112 and South Naples

The Naples Area Board of Realtors September 2026 report, released October 23, 2026 with data current to October 10, 2026, covers Collier County excluding Marco Island. Every figure below is labelled with the NABOR area it describes, and none of them is a Falling Waters figure.

Source: Naples Area Board of Realtors, September 2026 Market Report and Statistics, Southwest Florida MLS, released October 23, 2026. The South Naples condo median of $335,000 was down 9.5 percent from $370,000 a year earlier, and the 2026 year-to-date condo median of $340,000 compares with $384,500 for the same period of 2025. Countywide in the NABOR area, condominiums had 291 sales at a $400,000 median in September 2026, with 102 days on market, 94.0 percent of list price received and 5.8 months of supply. NABOR reports ZIP 34113 separately, at a $703,000 all-homes median, which is not Falling Waters' market.

How months of supply works

Months of supply is the number of listings on the market divided by the monthly pace of closed sales, so it says how long today's listings would last at the recent pace. NABOR publishes it for South Naples. The county record gives Falling Waters' own pace: 37 sales in 12 months is 3.08 sales a month (derived). Each 10 active listings therefore equal about 3.2 months of supply at that pace. Count the listings in the live search and apply the same division. We print no static active-listing count, because listing feeds disagreed by day, and months of supply for Falling Waters is only ever a derived figure from a dated snapshot.

What the recorded sales add

The county's Falling Waters median of $334,000 for 37 sales in the 12 months to October 2, 2026 sits within $1,000 of the NABOR South Naples condominium median of $335,000 for September 2026. The previous 12 months, October 2, 2024 to October 2, 2025, recorded 28 sales at a $366,500 median, so the $32,500 step down compares two single-year medians of 28 and 37 sales and is not a trend line. For listings at the low end of the market, try our search of Falling Waters condos under $300,000 or the newest Falling Waters listings.

Timing of the figures on this page

The county record runs to October 2, 2026, the NABOR report to September 2026 with data current to October 10, and the listing fee fields are dated October 30, 2026. They are different windows and are not combined in any sentence on this page. No Falling Waters-only days on market or sale-to-list series is published first-party, so none is printed.

Cash and financing

No first-party source publishes a Falling Waters or Collier condominium cash share. NABOR's January 2026 release reported 67 percent of that month's sales across its area as cash, and Florida Realtors counted 51.5 percent of statewide townhouse and condo sales as cash in the third quarter of 2026 (53.2 percent for the year to date). We quote no mortgage rate, because rates change weekly. Ask a lender for a written quote and a project review when you start touring.

Closing costs for a Falling Waters buyer

A Falling Waters buyer's closing costs include the owner's title policy that Collier buyers customarily pay, about $1,745 on a $334,000 condo at Florida's promulgated rate, and mortgage taxes if financing: $935.20 in documentary stamps and $534.40 in intangible tax on a $267,200 loan. Data updated: October 2026.

Line, illustration $334,000 condo, 20 percent down ($267,200 loan) $334,000 condo, cash $290,000 condo, 20 percent down ($232,000 loan)

Recording, settlement, survey, inspections, lender fees and prepaid insurance and taxes are quoted by the title company and the lender. The first column's title figure is $575.00 on the first $100,000 plus $1,170.00 on the next $234,000 (arithmetic).

What the association charges add

Listings show a $150 one-time application fee on most units, and Florida caps a condominium approval fee at $184 per applicant as adjusted by the state, so the contract and the declaration decide what you pay. No Falling Waters capital contribution or transfer fee was found on any listing read; the estoppel certificate lists one if it exists. Ask for two estoppels, one from the condominium and one from the Falling Waters Master Association, and a buyer reimburses the seller's prepaid share of the quarterly fee as a settlement item.

Gate credentials are a separate small cost. Per the master association's forms dated January 1, 2025 (read October 30, 2026), owners pay $15 per barcode or proximity card, or $20 per fob, with two of each at most. Renters and owner-absent guests pay $160 for a stay of up to 30 days, $210 for 31 to 60 days and $230 for longer stays.

Estoppel fees

Florida sets a cap on what an association may charge for an estoppel certificate: $250 for a standard request, $100 more for expedited delivery and up to $150 more if the account is delinquent, with 10 business days to deliver. The state's inflation-adjusted figures are $299, $119 and $179. A buyer who orders two certificates pays for both under the contract's terms.

What the contract controls

The standard Florida contract names who pays the owner's title policy, the estoppel fee and other items, and the contract controls over custom. A condominium buyer has a 7-day review right, excluding weekends and legal holidays, from receipt of the association's documents, as the section on buying a condo explains.

Frequently Asked Questions about Falling Waters condos for sale

These are the questions buyers ask most about Falling Waters condos for sale off Davis Boulevard in Naples, answered from the county record, the master association's published forms and government sources, with dates. Data updated: October 2026. Domain Realty Group, the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, can give an address-level answer at 239-441-2816.

Is Falling Waters in Naples a gated community?

Yes. The master association's information sheet describes an attended gate from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. After 10 p.m., entry is by vehicle barcode, proximity card or an eight-digit PIN at the kiosk. The association also says video surveillance is part of the community, and renters and guests register at the Member Center in the clubhouse.

How many condos are in Falling Waters, and in how many condominiums?

Falling Waters has 786 condominium units in nine condominiums: Rosewood and Magnolia Falls (144 each), Cascades (110), Amelia Lake (104), Water Crest (98), Falling Waters II (90), Jasmine Court (50), Magnolia Cove (26) and Falling Waters I (20). Each has its own association under the Falling Waters Master Association, per the state condominium registry.

Is Falling Waters the same as Falling Waters Beach Resort?

No. This page covers Falling Waters off Davis Boulevard in ZIP 34112, with 786 units in nine condominiums. Falling Waters Beach Resort is a separate community in ZIP 34114, with 430 units in four condominiums and its own association, about 8.5 road miles away. Falling Waters North Preserve, ZIP 34110, is a third, separate community.

Who built Falling Waters, and when?

The Hubschman family's Falling Waters Development Corporation developed it in the early 1990s. Florida Weekly reported on March 4, 2021 that Sidney Hubschman oversaw its development and construction, and state corporate records list the corporation, now inactive, as developer of record. The nine declarations were recorded from February 1992 to December 2002, and buildings finished by about 2007.

What is the median price of a Falling Waters condo?

Collier County recorded 37 qualified Falling Waters sales in the 12 months to October 2, 2026, at a $334,000 median, from $250,000 to $550,000. The 12 months before that, October 2, 2024 to October 2, 2025, had 28 sales at a $366,500 median, from $267,500 to $515,000. Every sale was a resale.

Did Falling Waters condo prices go down?

The county annual median was $412,500 on 28 sales in 2023 and $340,000 on 31 sales in 2026 to October 2, a gap of $72,500 between those two figures. It was $410,000 on 51 sales in 2022 and $252,000 on 64 sales in 2021. The mix of condominiums sold changes each year, so compare by condominium.

How long do Falling Waters condos take to sell?

No Falling Waters-only days-on-market series is published. NABOR South Naples (34112, 34113) condos averaged 111 days on market in September 2026, with 93.4 percent of list price received and 6.2 months of supply. NABOR ZIP 34112 all homes averaged 101 days. Treat these as area guides, not a promise for any one unit.

What are the condo fees in Falling Waters?

Each condominium sets its own fee. Listings read in October 2026 showed quarterly condo fees of $1,900 at Rosewood, $1,940 at Magnolia Falls, $1,990 at Cascades, $2,036 to $2,037 at Jasmine Court, $2,072 at Falling Waters II, $2,080 at Amelia Lake and up to $2,300 at Water Crest. The estoppel certificate gives the exact figure.

Is there a separate master association fee in Falling Waters?

Listings read in October 2026 show one quarterly condo fee, with the master association named among its inclusions and no separate master line. The master association's budget is not public, and how it charges each condominium is unverified. Ask for two estoppel certificates, one from the condominium and one from the master, to confirm any separate master charge.

What are property taxes on a Falling Waters condo?

On Collier's 2026 certified roll, the median bill is $2,834.69 for non-homesteaded units and $2,013.34 for homesteaded units, at 10.3696 mills, or about $1,037 per $100,000 of taxable value. A buyer's bill resets after purchase, and homestead, if filed, starts the next year, so the seller's bill is only a guide.

Does Falling Waters have a CDD?

No. Collier's 2026 certified roll shows $0 in non-ad valorem charges on all 787 Falling Waters parcels, which are 786 condominium units plus one common-area parcel. The community's millage area lists ten levies, and none is a community development district. Owners pay property tax plus their condominium fee.

Are there special assessments at Falling Waters?

No listing or public source read in October 2026 names a current special assessment in any of the nine condominiums. That is not proof there is none. The estoppel certificate must list special assessments scheduled to become due, and the last year of board minutes shows any pending vote. Ask for both before you make an offer.

Do Falling Waters buildings need a milestone inspection or a SIRS?

None of the 77 Falling Waters building addresses on the county roll is on Collier County's milestone list, as of January 2026. Florida's milestone and structural integrity reserve study rules apply to condominium buildings three habitable stories or taller, so they are not expected to apply here. Confirm with the association; the resale contract must state it.

Do Falling Waters condominiums keep reserves?

Florida requires budget reserve lines for roof replacement, building painting and pavement resurfacing, but an owner-controlled association without a SIRS may vote by majority for no reserves or less reserves. Read each condominium's budget and minutes. Fannie Mae's Full Review reserve test reads 10 percent in the Selling Guide, and Florida Realtors reports a scheduled 15 percent in January 2027.

Can I get a mortgage on a Falling Waters condo?

Usually, if the condominium passes the lender's project review. Fannie Mae retired Limited Review for applications on or after August 3, 2026. Every Falling Waters condominium has 20 to 144 units and sits under a master association, so none qualifies for the new small-project waiver, and a financed purchase should expect a Full Review. Ask your lender to start early.

What does a Falling Waters buyer pay at closing?

In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner's title policy, about $1,745 on a $334,000 condo at the promulgated rate. With a $267,200 loan, add $935.20 in mortgage stamps and $534.40 in intangible tax, plus a condominium application fee, $150 on most listings against a state cap of $184. Sellers customarily pay deed stamps.

Can I rent out a Falling Waters condo?

Yes, within each condominium's rules. Listings show 28 or 30 day minimum leases and 4 to 12 leases a year: 4 at Amelia Lake and Water Crest, 6 at Magnolia Falls and Magnolia Cove, and 12 at Rosewood, Jasmine Court, Falling Waters II and most of Cascades. The recorded declaration controls, not the listing.

What do renters and guests pay for Falling Waters gate credentials?

Per the master association's forms dated January 1, 2025 (read October 30, 2026), renters and guests without the owner pay $160 for stays up to 30 days, $210 for 31 to 60 days and $230 beyond 60 days, covering a barcode and a proximity card. Owners pay $15 per barcode or card and $20 per fob.

Are pets allowed in Falling Waters?

Pet rules are set by each condominium. Sale listings show "with approval," "limits" or "conditional," and one rental unit allows no pets. Pets are never allowed in the master pool area. The association's information sheet says each condominium's complete rules should be provided in the condo by the owner, so request that condominium's rules before you offer.

Can I park an RV, boat or trailer at Falling Waters?

Only inside a garage, never a carport. The master association's rules bar RVs, boats, trailers and similar vehicles otherwise. A visiting RV may stay 24 hours in the clubhouse overflow lot, after which it can be towed at the owner's expense. Some condominiums also restrict commercial vehicles and trucks, so read that condominium's rules.

Do Falling Waters condos have garages or carports?

It depends on the condominium. Recent listings typically show garages in Magnolia Falls (detached), Magnolia Cove (detached two-car), Cascades, Water Crest and Amelia Lake, and carports in Rosewood, Jasmine Court, Falling Waters I and Falling Waters II. Confirm the parking for the specific unit in its listing and condominium documents before you offer.

What amenities does Falling Waters have?

All nine condominiums share one master campus at 7275 Falling Waters Blvd: a clubhouse with a dance floor, library and kitchen, an island resort pool the association puts at about 400,000 gallons, two lighted Har-Tru tennis courts, two bocce courts, an 18-hole putting green, two shuffleboard lanes and horseshoe pits, as published by the association.

Is there golf, pickleball or a fitness room at Falling Waters?

Falling Waters has no golf course; its golf feature is an 18-hole putting green. The association's published amenity list names no pickleball courts and no fitness room, though its calendar lists water aerobics and a walking group. The nearest public golf is Lely Resort's Flamingo course, about 5.5 road miles from the clubhouse.

How big is the Falling Waters pool?

The association describes it as one of the largest pools in Southwest Florida, about 400,000 gallons by its own count, with a waterfall, an island and a moat. Swimming runs 8 a.m. to sunset, the deck stays open until 9 p.m., and no lifeguard is on duty. Entry is by proximity card.

Is Falling Waters in a flood zone?

No high-risk zone was found at any sampled condominium. An October 2026 check of 34 addresses across all nine condominiums found every one in FEMA Zone X on panels 12021C0413J and 0414J, effective February 8, 2024, and in evacuation Zone C. Zones are set address by address, so confirm the exact unit.

Do I need flood insurance to buy a Falling Waters condo?

Usually not by rule. A federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance only in high-risk A or V zones, and every sampled address is Zone X. Citizens exempts condominium unit-owner policies from its flood requirement now and after January 1, 2027. FloodSmart notes about 1 in 3 flood claims come from low and moderate risk zones.

What does condo insurance cost near Falling Waters?

Citizens' approved 2026 Collier averages, effective July 1, 2026, are $1,738 a year for an HO-6 condo unit-owner multiperil policy and $2,001 for an HW-6 wind-only policy. These are county averages, not Falling Waters quotes. Listings show insurance among the quarterly fee inclusions, so the master policy is paid through the fee.

Was Falling Waters damaged in Hurricane Ian or Irma?

No community-specific storm damage reports were found in public sources for any of the nine condominiums after Irma, Ian, Helene or Milton. Falling Waters sits in Zone X and evacuation Zone C, inland from Ian's coastal surge, and Collier's wind map shows a 164 mph design wind speed (Risk Category II). Ask for roof dates and wind mitigation reports.

What schools serve Falling Waters?

As of October 2026, 8 of 12 sampled addresses were zoned for Calusa Park Elementary (1.4 road miles), East Naples Middle (2.8) and Lely High (4.8) for 2026 to 2027; four returned no result. The district reviews attendance areas every year, so confirm any address with Collier County Public Schools before you buy.

What is the closest hospital to Falling Waters?

Physicians Regional Medical Center on Collier Boulevard lists 24-hour emergency room services and 130 beds, about 5.1 road miles from the clubhouse. NCH Baker Hospital downtown is about 6.0 miles. NCH Northeast, which NCH calls Collier's only freestanding emergency department, is 11.4 miles away. These are free-flow estimates; call 911 in an emergency.

How does Falling Waters compare with Countryside next door?

Falling Waters has no golf and no published capital contribution. Countryside, 0.7 road miles away, deeds a golf or social membership with each of its 1,133 homes, with 2025-26 dues of $7,417 or $4,828 and a $12,000 resale capital contribution. County condo medians: $334,000 on 37 sales here, $315,000 on 31 sales there.
