Every now and then, a deal comes along that buyers must pay attention to. In the Naples real estate market, most buyers seek vacation and resort style amenities. Only recently have we seen a shift in preferences with more and more buyers seeking more Naples homes for sale, and not the typical Carriage homes. Instead, buyers like the newer communities that have recently tailored to most home buyers wants – guard gate, pool, clubhouse, fitness, tennis, activities, landscaping, safety and neighborhood feel. One community that ranks high in all these amenities is Saturnia Lakes. Located off Immokalee Rd, the community is a terrific destination for all types of home buyers. There are no condos in the development. There are many younger couples. At the same time, older retirees favor the amenities. There are activities for children, and get togethers for Moms. There are holiday parties, and everyone has their door open and lights on for Halloween. The mix gives the community a really sincere neighborhood feel.
One unit that is currently listed at $269,000, a former model home of the developer, has been totally upgraded at the time these were selling fast. It can be seen here, or if it sells by the time you are reading this, you can see the MLS listing here. The backyard is decorated with custom paver area and a built in grill. The home overlooks the lake and is great for entertaining. This is a terrific deal given no other home is listed under $300,000, and anything with 3 or more bedrooms is $329k and up.
