artesia

Artesia is a gated, master-planned community of 666 residences set across approximately 261 acres in South Naples. More than 111 acres are dedicated to lakes and natural areas, including a central 20-acre lake, giving water, preserves and open space a prominent role throughout the neighborhood. Colorful architecture, tile roofs and tropical landscaping give Artesia a distinctive personality, while its location between Downtown Naples and Marco Island provides convenient access to both areas.

One of Artesia's most notable characteristics is the variety of homes found within the community. Residences range from approximately 1,100 to more than 2,500 square feet and include single-family homes, villas, carriage and coach homes, cottages and condominium residences. This creates a broad range of layouts, ownership structures and maintenance arrangements within one community. Many homes feature screened lanais or private outdoor spaces, with lake, preserve and landscaped views available throughout different areas of the neighborhood.

Artesia also offers an active community lifestyle without being centered around golf or a country club. Walking and biking paths extend throughout the neighborhood, while a centrally located amenity campus provides swimming, fitness, racquet sports, social spaces and organized activities. For buyers who want a gated community with a variety of housing choices and a meaningful amenity package, but do not need a golf membership, Artesia offers an interesting alternative.

What You Need to Know About Living in Artesia

• Ownership Structures Vary: Artesia includes both single-family and condominium forms of ownership. This means association fees, insurance responsibilities and maintenance obligations can differ significantly depending on the residence.

• There Are Multiple Sub-Associations: Some neighborhoods have their own condominium or homeowners association in addition to the Artesia Master Association. Buyers should understand the complete association structure and total fees applicable to the specific property they are considering.

• Maintenance Is Not Identical Across Artesia: The services included through association fees vary by property type and sub-association. Buyers should not assume that lawn care, exterior maintenance, insurance or other services are handled the same way for every residence.

• Homes and Settings Differ Considerably: Size, floor plan, outdoor space, view and level of updating vary throughout the community. Lake, preserve and landscaped settings can also make two otherwise similar homes feel quite different.

• Association Rules Apply: Leasing, pets, exterior modifications and other property-use matters are governed by the applicable association documents. Because some residences fall under additional sub-associations, buyers should verify the rules that apply specifically to the property they are considering.

• No Mandatory Golf or Country Club: Artesia's recreational amenities are included within the community structure rather than requiring a separate golf or private-club membership.
