Naples New Construction: What Buyers Are Actually Paying

Lucía Torres · 2026-11-11

If you've been watching Naples new construction from the sidelines, waiting for the market to make up its mind, here's the honest truth: it already has. Prices are all over the map, and that's actually good news for buyers who know where to look. Let's walk through what's really happening on the ground. ### The Seagate Enclaves: Small, Private, Expensive Seagate Development Group takes a different approach than most builders. Instead of sprawling master-planned communities, they build small pockets of estate homes in North Naples, ranging from just 10 to 51 homesites. **Palisades**, tucked off Yarberry Lane near Airport-Pulling Road and Orange Blossom Drive (west of I-75), packs 25 gated homes onto about 12 acres. Three homes built in 2026 closed between $4,200,000 and $4,975,000. Another six hit the market on October 28, listed from $3,317,495 to $5,395,000. The other two Seagate communities sit east of Collier Boulevard along Vanderbilt Beach Road: - **Silver Oak** on Ravenna Avenue: ten estate homes on lots of about 1.25 acres. No gate, no HOA, well water and septic. Four homes listed from $5,200,000 to $5,520,000. - **Opus Stone** at Vanderbilt Beach Road and Massey Street: a gated community of 51 homesites with no community development district. Seagate's custom estates run from about $3.4 million to $5.9 million, alongside 23 Pulte homes starting at $1,232,000. Here's what sets these apart: none of the three has a clubhouse. The amenities live inside the homes themselves, with private pools and outdoor kitchens doing the heavy lifting. If you'd rather have acreage outside a planned community, it's worth exploring what's available beyond these enclaves. ### Caymas, Naples Reserve, The Grove and Dorado **Caymas** is Stock Development's 457-home gated community on 780 acres off Collier Boulevard, just south of I-75. It's built around 275 acres of lakes. Stock's Azure, Indigo and Cobalt collections start at $1,254,990 on 62- to 90-foot homesites, while Pulte builds 97 homesites from $839,990. The sports park, with eight pickleball and six tennis courts, opened in February 2026. A 30,000-square-foot clubhouse is under construction. Four homes built in 2026 closed at a median of $1,612,430, and six were listed from $2,559,720 to $3,329,330. One thing to note: there's no golf course here. **Naples Reserve**, off US 41 East beside Picayune Strand State Forest, spreads across 688 acres built around 245 acres of interconnected lakes, complete with a rowing course and the Island Club. Its final new homes are custom builds in Parrot Cay on Charthouse Circle, where buyers pick from the community's approved builders. Two 2026 homes closed at $2,245,000 and $2,299,900. **The Grove** offers 32 gated homes with private pools on Grove Circle off Bayshore Drive, roughly 2.5 miles from downtown. Listings run from $1,825,200 to $2,257,200. **Dorado** is Gulf Bay's collection of 104 coach homes in Fiddler's Creek, priced by the developer from $1,700,000 for a ground-floor Palmetto of 2,600 square feet. Golf club membership is optional. ### Seven Shores, Esplanade by the Islands, Valencia Sky and Maple Point **Seven Shores** is Toll Brothers' 409-home community in Hacienda Lakes, east of Collier Boulevard. The Harbor collection starts at $599,995, Landing at $852,995 and Port at $979,995. You get a clubhouse, pools, tennis, pickleball and a putting green. It sold 12 homes built in 2026 at a median of $980,000. On October 28, Toll was advertising a 4.625% first-year jumbo adjustable rate with a 2/1 buydown on select homes. **Esplanade by the Islands**, Taylor Morrison's guard-gated community off US 41 East near Fiddler's Creek, mixes single-family homes, twin villas and coach homes. There's a resort center with a spa, restaurant and lifestyle manager, plus a community development district. Sixteen homes built in 2026 closed at a median of $934,130. **Valencia Sky** is GL Homes' 55-and-over community on Santa Barbara Boulevard south of Davis Boulevard, about five miles from Fifth Avenue South. Homes start in the $780s, and the community is staffed. > The takeaway? Naples new construction isn't one market. It's a dozen micro-markets, each with its own price logic, amenity mix and buyer profile. Know which one fits your life before you fall for a floor plan. Whether you're chasing a gated estate enclave or a lock-and-leave coach home, the numbers above give you a real starting point. Match the community to how you actually want to live, and the price tag starts to make a lot more sense.
