Ave Maria 55+
55+ living in Ave Maria
Ave Maria is not a 55+ community. Del Webb Naples inside it is. That combination gives active adults a private resort lifestyle with a real town, Publix, healthcare, parks and a university outside the gate.
What Is Age Restricted
Which part of Ave Maria is 55+?
Del Webb Naples is the primary age restricted 55+ community within Ave Maria. Gatherpoint, Maple Ridge, Avalon Park, The National and the established resale neighborhoods all welcome every age.
That matters in two directions. Buyers who want a true active adult environment should focus on Del Webb Naples. Buyers over 55 who prefer mixed ages, more housing types or a golf and country club structure have the rest of Ave Maria to choose from, with the same Town Center and amenities.

How Ave Maria compares with coastal Naples 55+ communities
Del Webb Naples typically offers newer homes and more attainable pricing than coastal Naples 55+ communities, along with a self contained town for daily errands. The trade off is distance: the Gulf beaches, downtown Naples and Southwest Florida International Airport are commonly an hour or so away. Seasonal owners should also plan for non homestead property tax treatment, insurance, hurricane preparation and maintenance while away. Magaly can compare Del Webb Naples with coastal options side by side.
