autumn woods

Autumn Woods is a gated community of 548 residences in North Naples, known for its mature landscaping, lakes, natural preserves and central location off Goodlette-Frank Road between Pine Ridge Road and Orange Blossom Drive. The community is made up of three distinct residential neighborhoods: Oak Hollow & Mahogany Run, with 350 detached single-family homes; Maple Brooke, with 110 attached villas; and Cedar Ridge, with 88 condominium residences in 22 two-story buildings. This mix gives buyers several different ways to live within the same community, from traditional single-family homes with private yards and pools to lower-maintenance villa and condominium options.

The natural setting is an important part of Autumn Woods' character. Twenty lakes are surrounded by more than five miles of shoreline plantings, while 26.5 acres of preserves include meandering walking paths and established vegetation. Mature trees and landscaping give the neighborhood a distinctly established feel that differs from many newer Naples developments. Its location is another major advantage, with convenient access to Gulf beaches, Waterside Shops, Mercato, downtown Naples, healthcare, shopping, dining and major roads throughout the area.

Autumn Woods offers a well-rounded residential lifestyle rather than being centered around golf or a private club. Shared recreational facilities include swimming, fitness, tennis, pickleball, basketball and a playground, while sidewalks and paths make it easy to enjoy the community outdoors. The combination of varied housing, natural surroundings, recreational amenities and a convenient North Naples location gives Autumn Woods broad appeal.

Why People Like the Autumn Woods Community

• Three Distinct Residential Options: Single-family homes, attached villas and condominiums allow buyers to choose the type of property and maintenance structure that best suits them without leaving the community.

• Established Natural Setting: Mature trees, 20 lakes and more than 26 acres of preserves create a greener, more established environment than buyers often find in newer developments.

• Walking and Biking: Miles of sidewalks and paths wind through the community, lakes and preserve areas, making outdoor activity part of the neighborhood experience.

• Central Naples Location: Autumn Woods is convenient to beaches, shopping, dining, entertainment and everyday services while remaining tucked into a gated residential setting.

• Recreation Without a Country Club: Residents have access to a variety of sports and recreational facilities without a mandatory golf or private-club membership.

• Variety Within the Single-Family Neighborhoods: Detached homes range from approximately 1,850 to more than 2,500 square feet, and many include private pools and outdoor living areas.

What You Need to Know About Living in Autumn Woods

• The Association Structure Is Important: Every owner belongs to the Autumn Woods Community Association, or master association, as well as the association governing their individual neighborhood. Oak Hollow & Mahogany Run and Maple Brooke have homeowners associations, while Cedar Ridge has a condominium association.

• Fees and Maintenance Responsibilities Vary: Because the three neighborhoods have different ownership and association structures, buyers should not assume that fees, exterior maintenance, landscaping, insurance or other services are handled the same way throughout Autumn Woods.

• Cedar Ridge Is Condominium Ownership: Its 88 residences are located within 22 two-story buildings and have a different ownership and maintenance structure from the villas and detached homes elsewhere in the community.

• Maple Brooke Consists of Attached Villas: Buyers who want villa-style living should understand the shared-wall configuration and review the specific maintenance responsibilities provided through the neighborhood association.

• Architectural Rules Are Neighborhood-Specific: Exterior changes such as landscaping, painting, additions and pools are reviewed through the applicable neighborhood architectural review process rather than one universal set of procedures for every residence.

• Rental Procedures Also Vary: Each neighborhood has its own rental approval process, making the applicable neighborhood documents especially important for buyers considering leasing their property.
