In Naples Florida, there are more than 325 gated communities.  It is very difficult for a potential home buyer to get into these communities, to see what the communities are like, how the homes look, and what type of amenities the community has.  Further, there is no place where you can easily see what the true condominium association and Homeowner's Association (HOA) fees look like, whether residents can have pets, if they can lease their home out, what kind oof shopping is nearby, etc. This is why we created our "Inside the Gates" series where we provide this important information without all the "fluff" sometimes involved when trying to "sell" a community.  In addition, we then provide a statistics page for each of these communities where you can see detailed, up-to-date, live, interactive real estate-related data relating to that community.  We hope you enjoy, and please let us know if there are any specific communities you want to be taken "Inside the Gates" in Naples Florida.
