Ave Maria, Florida

It works well for buyers who want a walkable, master-planned community with its own town center rather than a typical subdivision. Families are assigned to schools including Estates Elementary and Palmetto Ridge High, and neighborhoods like Del Webb Naples and Maple Ridge mean a mix of retirees and young families. The compact, amenity-rich layout is the main draw.

It's mid-range for Collier County, with a median list price of $449,900 and an average of about $217 per square foot. Prices span a broad $150,000 to $1,450,000, so there's genuine entry-level product alongside luxury homes. That range is unusually wide for a town this size.

The median list price is $449,900 for a home of roughly 2,244 square feet, working out to about $217 per square foot. Listings currently range from $150,000 up to $1,450,000, so you can find both starter homes and high-end properties. Checking the just reduced listings is a smart way to spot value.

Inventory is thin, with just 5 active listings, and homes are selling in a median of 21 days. That combination favors sellers, so serious buyers should line up financing early and consider touring open houses this week. New construction is still part of the mix, with one new build currently active.

Expect a median HOA of about $183 per month, which reflects the shared parks, trails, and town amenities. The median property tax runs around $5,739 per year. If you're weighing renting first, the median rent is about $2,300 a month — see the current homes for rent.
