Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Very low violent crime rate with routine Collier County Sheriff's Office patrols.
- High rate of homeownership and well-maintained property conditions.
- Quiet, low-traffic residential streets ideal for peaceful suburban living.
- Proximity to major recreational attractions including the Naples Botanical Garden and Sugden Regional Park.
Cons
- Heavily car-dependent with virtually no walkable retail or dining inside the neighborhood bounds.
- Occasional opportunistic property theft, such as unlocked vehicle break-ins.
