Ave Maria is a mixed-use master-planned community with an old-fashioned small-town atmosphere adjoining the Collier County campus of Ave Maria University in the Gulf Coast region of southwestern Florida. The community encompasses multiple residential neighborhoods and commercial zones, with shared recreational amenities and an established town center located 20 minutes east of Interstate 75 near Naples, Immokalee and Bonita Springs.
Ave Maria features a resort-style water park and two expansive community parks with picnic areas, sports fields, playgrounds and bocce and pickleball courts. Residents also have easy access to quality K-12 education and nearly 100 miles of nature, hiking, biking and equestrian trails.
Real estate options within Ave Maria include several family-friendly neighborhoods of detached homes in various price ranges, plus the age-restricted Del Webb Naples active adult community and a collection of two- and three-bedroom condominium residences in the town center.
