Naples L - The Vineyards, It Started with a Tomato

By
Real Estate Agent with 239.776.5077 Downing-Frye Realty

Vineyards is one of the premier gated communities in Naples, Florida, and it all started with a family in the produce business. A couple of Italian brothers came to America in 1911 and built a produce business in Camden, New Jersey, which expanded to Southwest Florida when the sons fell in love with Naples. That business grew into one of the largest wholesale produce distributors in the world. Of the thousands of acres devoted to tomatoes, they chose 1,375 acres near downtown Naples to grow the Vineyards community.

 

When you enter Vineyards, the first thing that impresses you is the lush and mature landscaping. The developer didn't hold back and the result is a beautiful natural setting for single family homes, villas and condominiums overlooking lakes, parks, golf courses with palm trees, shade trees, fragrant flowers, colorful tropical plants and carpets of greenery.
