Gogo's take on SkySail Naples
“Go. SkySail is an exceptionally safe, newly constructed master-planned community centered around expansive freshwater lakes in eastern Collier County. Visitors will find virtually nonexistent violent crime, clean manicured streets, and private community amenities, though you will need a car to access shopping, dining, and Gulf beaches.”

Walking and biking in SkySail Naples
Walk score: 12/100 · Bike score: 38/100
Internal paved multi-use paths and wide residential lanes are ideal for recreational cycling, though protected connectivity to Collier County's broader regional bike network along high-speed corridors like Oil Well Road is limited.
Reasons to go, and reasons to think twice
Pros
- Virtually zero violent crime and very low property crime rates supported by gated neighborhood infrastructure
- Affluent demographic base with high median household incomes and near-total homeownership rates
- Brand-new, well-maintained infrastructure, sidewalks, streetlights, and pristine community lakes
Cons
- High car dependency requiring driving 15 to 30 minutes for commercial services and Gulf beaches
- Ongoing residential construction in surrounding eastern Collier County can bring occasional construction traffic and dust
- Far eastern location increases vulnerability to regional hurricane evacuations and emergency service transit times
Homelessness: Visible homelessness is not present within SkySail due to its private, master-planned residential nature and location well away from regional urban centers.
