Kensington Golf and Country Club is a gated, built-out golf community of 563 homes on Pine Ridge Road in Naples, FL 34105, platted as Kensington Park, with a $925,000 median sale over the 12 months to August 11, 2026, an optional member-owned club and no CDD. The eight facts below carry the most weight.
Living in Kensington Golf and Country Club means a gated community of 563 homes on Pine Ridge Road between Airport-Pulling and Livingston roads, ZIP 34105, with a staffed front gate, a back gate on Livingston, an optional club, Hotwire fiber in the dues and A-rated schools across the road. Here is what daily life and the address look like.
Kensington sits on the south side of Pine Ridge Road between Airport-Pulling Road and Livingston Road, in Section 13, Township 49 South, Range 25 East, in unincorporated Collier County (KPMA, About Us; Ordinance 98-8). Every home is in ZIP 34105, and every one of the 43 closings in the last 12 months carried that ZIP (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). The front gate is on Pine Ridge Road at Kensington Park Boulevard, published as 2700 Pine Ridge Road, and the back gate is at 2774 Eatonwood Lane off Livingston Road (KPMA Welcome Packet, July 2026; KPMA Access and Patrol Manual, Feb 2025). From the front gate, I-75 is joined about 4.1 minutes and 2.06 road miles away, free-flow (OSRM routing). The community lies in Collier County Commission District 4 (Collier GIS Commissioner Districts).
The neighbors are a mix. The PUD wraps the La Costa apartments, 228 units built in 1998, on the corner of Pine Ridge and Livingston; Grey Oaks lies to the south; and Hamilton Place, 66 homes built from 2020 to 2023, sits east across Livingston Road (Florida DOR 2026 roll). Buyers who want newer construction in North Naples often also tour Talis Park.
Buyers meet two names for one place. Collier County’s records name the land Kensington Park: the PUD layer carries “KENSINGTON PARK” with a status of built out (Collier GIS PUD layer), the plats are Kensington Park Phase One to Phase Four, and the master association is Kensington Park Master Association, Inc., filed May 10, 1993 (Sunbiz, Kensington Park Master Association, Inc.). The club, Kensington Golf & Country Club, Inc., is a separate not-for-profit corporation (Sunbiz, Kensington Golf & Country Club, Inc.). Most buyers and the club use “Kensington Golf and Country Club”; the deed, plat and tax roll say Kensington Park. They are the same 563 homes. This guide describes the community from public records; it is not a publication of the master association, whose declaration restricts promotional use of the Kensington name (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration, s.13.10).
Several Naples names look alike. The table sorts them.
Name | Where | Part of Kensington Golf and Country Club? |
|---|---|---|
Kensington Gardens (estate village) | Gardens Blvd and four courts inside Kensington, ZIP 34105 | Yes, 83 lots |
Kensington Gardens, a condominium | Olde Naples, City of Naples, ZIP 34102, 12 units | No, a separate community |
Kensington Circle | Addresses in ZIP 34119, far northeast | No |
“Kensington Park” corporations | Altamonte Springs, Orlando, Kissimmee, Gainesville | No, unrelated filings |
The Hamlet at Kensington | Hamlet Dr inside Kensington | Yes, not the older Hamlet condominium of Naples |
Sources: Florida DBPR condominium extract; Collier GIS address points; Sunbiz name search “Kensington Park”. When a listing says “Kensington Gardens,” check the ZIP: 34105 is the estate village here, and 34102 is the Olde Naples condominium.
The front gate is staffed around the clock and a roving patrol officer works 24 hours a day under Allied Universal, the security contractor named in KPMA’s 2025 and 2026 newsletters (KPMA Access and Patrol Manual; KPMA Newsletter, Summer 2026). Guests are cleared through dwellingLIVE, with QR ePass scanners at both gates. The master dues include Hotwire fiber TV, internet and phone, a 300/300 internet tier, up to three Fision TV+ HD boxes with DVR and up to three Eero Pro 6 units (Kensington Park Hotwire information). Water and sewer come from the City of Naples and power from FPL (KPMA Welcome Packet). Speed limits are 25 mph on straights and 15 mph on curves, enforced by radar (Access and Patrol Manual).
At the center of the course is a 20-acre nature preserve (club, Robert Trent Jones Jr. golf course), and the club’s members have a calendar of more than 100 events a year (club, Dining). For errands, the Publix at Pine Ridge Crossing is about 2.5 minutes from the front gate and the Sprouts Farmers Market that opened May 15, 2026 at 5351 Airport Road North about 2.2 minutes (Publix, Pine Ridge Crossing; Sprouts press release; OSRM routing).
Kensington’s buyers sort by product, not by type of person. Coach-home buyers choose among 272 condominium units, which closed from $500,000 to $1,275,000 in the last 12 months. Single-family and villa buyers choose among 291 homes, which closed from $615,000 to $3,375,000 (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). Golfers come for a Robert Trent Jones Jr. course with optional membership in a member-owned club, and families come for zoned schools graded A in every year from 2022 to 2026, two of them across Pine Ridge Road. Whoever you are, choosing among the best real estate agents in Naples matters more in a community with 16 sets of neighborhood rules than in a single-product subdivision.

We tracked 43 closed sales in Kensington Golf and Country Club in the 12 months to August 11, 2026, at a $925,000 median, ranging from $500,000 to $3,375,000, with $55,479,009 in volume (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). Coach homes and single-family homes trade as two markets.
Data updated: August 2026
Three of the 43 closings are sold-data-entry records (one in Lancaster Square at $670,000 and two in Wellington Place II at $835,000 and $799,000). They are real recorded sales, so they count in every closing count, median, range and volume figure on this page; they will be left out only of days on market and sale-to-list when those are added, which will use 40 sales.
Village (MLS name) | Sales | Median or sales | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Wellington Place II | 9 | $799,000 | $675,000 | $899,000 |
Lancaster Square (I, II and III) | 8 | $917,500 (mean of $950,000 and $885,000) | $670,000 | $1,275,000 |
Kensington Gardens | 7 | $2,700,000 | $1,725,000 | $3,375,000 |
Canterbury Green (MLS: Canterbury Greens) | 4 | $1,325,000 (mean of $1,350,000 and $1,300,000) | $925,000 | $1,575,009 |
The Hamlet | 3 | $735,000 | $715,000 | $735,000 |
Sheffield Villas | 3 | $1,450,000 | $615,000 | $1,700,000 |

Source: Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026. The MLS uses 12 names for 16 neighborhoods because Lancaster Square I, II and III share one name and two single-family areas had no sale. The Kensington Gardens sales are the estate village inside Kensington in ZIP 34105, not the Olde Naples condominium, and Sheffield Villas’ three sales span a wide range.
Product | Sales | Median | Range | Volume |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Coach-home condominiums | 24 | $777,500 | $500,000 to $1,275,000 | $19,379,000 |
Single-family homes | 19 | $1,700,000 | $615,000 to $3,375,000 | $36,100,009 |
All of Kensington | 43 | $925,000 | $500,000 to $3,375,000 | $55,479,009 |
Source: Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026. The 24 coach-home sales split as Wellington Place II 9, Lancaster Square 8, The Hamlet 3, Wellington Place 2 and Westchester 2; the 19 single-family sales as Kensington Gardens 7, Canterbury Green 4, Sheffield Villas 3, Yorktown 2 and one each in Hampton Row, Knightsbridge and Nottingham Cove.
The coach-home median is an even-count median: the 12th and 13th of the 24 sorted sales were $785,000 and $770,000, so ($785,000 + $770,000) / 2 = $777,500. The single-family median is the 10th of 19 sales, $1,700,000, and the community median is the 22nd of 43, $925,000. Turnover is modest: 43 closings across 563 homes is 43 / 563 = 7.6% of the community changing hands in a year.
The median days on market for Kensington is 47 days, median of 40 sales reporting DOM. The median sold price per square foot (MLS living area) is $401, $343 for coach homes and $580 for single-family homes, and the median sale-to-list ratio is 95.5%. On October 22, 2026 there were 4 active listings, all coach homes in Wellington Place I, Wellington Place II and Westchester, about 1.1 months of supply. The county roll does report living area for single-family homes, 1,668 to 12,092 square feet with a median of 3,726 (Florida DOR 2026 roll), but that is county-reported area, not the MLS heated square footage, so no price per square foot is computed from it here.
Kensington’s $925,000 median hides two markets, so start with the sales of your own village. If you are selling, get a free home valuation built from the closings of your village and product, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. If you are buying, call Marc at (239) 287-5873 and read how we represent buyers before you choose between a coach home and a single-family home.
Kensington Golf and Country Club began as farmland on Pine Ridge Road, rezoned as the Kensington Park PUD in 1992 and re-adopted in 1998. Its Robert Trent Jones Jr. course opened in January 1994, a developer group led by Anton Steiner with John N. Brugger built it out, and the last condominium units were finished in 2002.
Before it was a golf community, the site was “a large tomato farm,” according to the Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association’s magazine, which profiled the course in Spring 1998 (Florida Green, Spring 1998). The course opened in January 1994, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and built by Golf Forms, Inc., which moved more than one million cubic yards of fill and trucked in more than 400 semi-loads of crushed coquina from Cocoa Beach for the paths and transition areas. In 1998 the magazine listed the club as “Private, 350 equity memberships” and the course at 6,879 yards, rated 73.1 with a slope of 135. Five years earlier, Golf Course News reported a 369-acre community with a 26,697-square-foot clubhouse under construction for early 1994 (Golf Course News, May 1993). The architect’s own firm calls Kensington his first course in Southwest Florida, laid out around a 20-acre preserve with the course as “a buffer between the wetlands and homesites” (Robert Trent Jones II, Kensington portfolio).
Kensington was developed by a group led by Anton Steiner with John N. Brugger. Anton Steiner, Arlette Steiner and John N. Brugger appear on the 1993 state filings for the club entities and for Lancaster Square Development Corporation (Sunbiz, Kensington Golf & Country Club, Ltd.; Sunbiz, Lancaster Square Development Corporation). John N. Brugger signed the 1996 First Amendment to the master declaration as Declarant, individually and as Trustee. When the PUD was re-adopted in 1998, J. Dudley Goodlette held title to the land as trustee, the petitioner was Richard Henderlong of Kensington Park Development, and the plans came from McAnly Engineering and Design and Coastal Engineering Consultants (Ordinance 98-8).
Collier County first zoned the land as the Kensington Park PUD, petition PUD-91-11, under Ordinance 92-25, adopted April 28, 1992 (Ordinance 92-25, Collier Clerk). On January 27, 1998, Ordinance 98-8 (PUD-91-11(1)) repealed 92-25 in its entirety and re-adopted the PUD, and it still governs: no later amendment appears in the county’s PUD ordinance list, and the county’s PUD master list records the PUD as built out, with an estimated build-out of 2003 (Ordinance 98-8; Collier LDC Appendix F, List of PUD Ordinances; Collier PUD Master List, June 11, 2026). Ordinance 98-8 covers about 370 acres (370.16 acres) and caps the PUD at 570 dwelling units, a gross density of 1.6 units per acre; the county’s list shows 1.54. With 563 homes built, 7 units of entitlement were never used. In January 1998 the ordinance recorded that “more than 50% of the project has been developed”; the state tax roll shows 89 homes finished by the end of 1997, so that share most likely refers to platting and infrastructure rather than finished homes (Florida DOR 2026 roll).
The club began as a developer-era business. Kensington Golf & Country Club, Inc., a for-profit corporation, was filed June 2, 1993, and Kensington Golf & Country Club, Ltd. on June 9, 1993 (Sunbiz, P93000038987). In April 1997 the shareholders of that club approved a plan of merger, and the not-for-profit Kensington Golf & Country Club, Inc. was filed August 5, 1997 (N97000004570). The merger took effect December 3, 1998. Under it, “each existing shareholder’s share of stock and equity membership” was exchanged for an equity membership certificate, and the new club “shall have members in lieu of shareholders” (Sunbiz, Articles and Plan of Merger, Dec 1998). The merger papers name the club’s governing set: a Plan for the Offering of Equity Memberships, By-Laws, General Club Rules, Articles and a Purchase and Sale Agreement. In 1998, Florida Green described the club as “Private, 350 equity memberships” (Florida Green, Spring 1998); that is a 1998 figure, not a current cap.
No recorded turnover instrument was found, so the record supports two milestones. The club’s amended 2003 state filing, filed April 16, 2003, lists a board of residents (Sunbiz, club 2003 amended annual report). Kensington owners adopted the amended and restated master declaration on May 20, 2004, recorded September 24, 2004 at O.R. Book 3648, Page 3709 (KPMA, Amended and Restated governing documents, 2004). The master association was administratively dissolved and reinstated on the same day, October 25, 2004 (Sunbiz, Kensington Park Master Association).

Kensington Golf and Country Club’s master plan is the Kensington Park PUD: about 370 acres under Ordinance 98-8, a maximum of 570 dwelling units, 563 built, an 18-hole course on a 223-acre recreation tract and 51 acres of lakes. The county lists the PUD as built out; the newest home on the 2026 roll dates from 2012.
Ordinance 98-8 divides the 370.16 acres into Tract A, residential, about 120 acres; Tract CR, commons and recreation including the golf course, about 223 acres; Tract P, preserve, about 20 acres; and Tract S, buffer, about 7 acres, with 51 acres of lakes (Ordinance 98-8). Residential uses are “Single family detached and attached, zero lot line” and “Townhouses and garden apartments” (s.3.3A). Single-family detached lots must be at least 6,000 square feet and zero-lot-line lots 4,000; minimum floor area is 1,000 square feet for a one-story single-family home, 1,200 for two stories and 750 for a townhouse or garden apartment; principal structures may rise 35 feet from finished floor (s.3.5G). Guest quarters are allowed for no more than 380 single-family and zero-lot-line homes. The recreation tract may include “golf and tennis equipment sales, restaurants, cocktail lounges” (s.4.2B2). The transportation section required a signal at the project entrance on Pine Ridge Road and a Livingston Road right-of-way dedication (s.7.8).

Source: Florida DOR 2026 roll, year built. The peak came from 1999 to 2001, when 338 homes were finished, and the last condominium units were completed in 2002. A year built on the roll can reflect a rebuild, so a single home’s history comes from its permits. For a buyer, the table is a roof and systems guide: 496 of 563 homes, about 88%, carry a year built of 2001 or earlier.
Almost nothing. The 2026 roll shows one privately held vacant lot in Kensington Gardens and one club-owned vacant Phase One parcel (Collier GIS Parcels layer). The recent construction has been the club’s: site-plan amendments PL20220006140 for the clubhouse and PL20220006745 for the maintenance site (Collier GIS CityView projects). On the master association side, KPMA reported its Front Gate Refresh complete and set a target of October 9, 2026 to finish its Roads Project from the Pine Ridge gate to Eatonwood Lane, with a rewrite of the Architectural Control Manual by a consultant due in fall 2026 (KPMA Newsletter, Summer 2026). No record read shows new residential construction planned.
Kensington Golf and Country Club is governed by a mandatory master association, Kensington Park Master Association, Inc., managed by Newell Property Management, with neighborhood and condominium associations beneath it. The golf club is a separate, optional, member-owned corporation, and there is no community development district.
Kensington Park Master Association, Inc. was incorporated May 10, 1993 (N93000002119) and is active, with Newell Property Management Services LLC, 5435 Jaeger Road #4, Naples 34109, as manager and registered agent (Sunbiz, Kensington Park Master Association). Membership is not a choice: “Owners within Kensington are required to be members” (KPMA, About Us). The board has nine directors serving staggered two-year terms (the board may change the number, never below three), the annual meeting is in March, and the board typically meets the second Wednesday of each month at the clubhouse, open to residents (Second Amended and Restated Bylaws; KPMA FAQ).

Sources: Certificate of Amendment and Second Amended and Restated Declaration, 2016; Amended and Restated governing documents, 2004. The covenants ran 30 years from 1993 and renew in 10-year periods unless two-thirds of the Regular Members record otherwise (s.12.1); amendment takes two-thirds of all Regular Members (s.12.2) (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration). Below the declaration sit the board’s Rules and Regulations, updated March 11, 2022 (KPMA Rules and Regulations), the Architectural Control Manual effective August 21, 2025 (ACM) and the Access and Patrol Manual of February 2025.
Every lot or condominium unit owner is a Regular Member. The club, as owner of the course land, is a Limited Member with aggregate votes of 7.5 times its acreage, but only on lakes, water management and conservation matters (Decl. 2.3). The club pays KPMA 6.25% of the budgeted access-and-patrol personnel, vehicle, uniform and payroll costs (Decl. 3.3). The declaration keeps the two apart: “In no event shall any part of the Common Area be considered part of the Country Club or vice versa” (s.10). The club holds unlimited irrigation-use rights in the water management system subject to the South Florida Water Management District (s.4.8(G)), and golf cart path, tournament gallery and club setback easements run across the community (s.10.6, 10.7) (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration).

No. Collier County’s community development district layer returns no district intersecting the Kensington Park PUD (Collier GIS CDD layer), and every parcel carries taxing code 0104 with no CDD line (2025 Collier taxing authority codes). Roads, gates, lakes and common areas are funded by KPMA assessments and, for recent capital work, its line of credit.
KPMA holds a $4,000,000 line of credit with $595,492 outstanding on May 31, 2026: $296,642 for the 2023 street resurfacing and $298,850 for the 2025 lake-bank project, paid down at $400,000 of principal a year at a fixed 4.25%, maturing in 2032, with a separate $200,000 emergency line (KPMA Newsletter, Summer 2026; KPMA Newsletter, Winter 2025). KPMA’s insurance cost rose 30% in 2026, and its Hotwire contract rose 3.5% from March 1, 2026 (KPMA Newsletter, Winter/Spring 2026). Earlier capital work included nearly $3,000,000 of riprap lake banks “several years ago” (KPMA Newsletter, Fall 2025), and in 2024 four lake-replenishing wells and three of six irrigation pumps were replaced, shared with the club (KPMA Newsletter, Fall 2024). The 2027 budget agenda names a lake-bank refresh, aging irrigation lines and High Street landscaping. No special assessment was disclosed in the 2024 to 2026 newsletters.
Kensington Golf and Country Club HOA fees start with one master assessment, $1,284 a quarter in 2026 for every home, with no CDD. Neighborhood or condominium dues sit on top and are not published, the club is optional, and property tax runs at 9.5058 mills (2025). Every billed layer is below, with its source.

KPMA does not print the quarterly figure itself, but its Summer 2026 newsletter does: “Two quarters of fees or $2,568 are paid to the Capital Fund for each unit closing” (KPMA Newsletter, Summer 2026). So $2,568 / 2 = $1,284 a quarter, and $1,284 x 4 = $5,136 a year. The 2026 increase was $57 a quarter, about 4.6%, so 2025 was $1,227 a quarter, $4,908 a year (KPMA Newsletter, Fall 2025). The assessment is the same for every home, because the declaration assigns one Assessment Index to each Lot, and a condominium unit counts as a Lot (Decl. 1.20, 2.3, 3.6).
Section 3.16 of the declaration charges a Resale Capital Assessment of two quarterly installments on each transfer, paid by the transferee unless the parties agree otherwise, and deposited to reserves. Transfers between owners of the same home, to an estate, to a wholly owned entity and by foreclosure are exempt (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration, s.3.16). At 2026 rates that is $2,568.
Most Kensington homes pay a second layer, and none of those budgets is published. Single-family owners in Ashley Grove, Canterbury Green, Kensington Gardens, Sheffield Villas and Yorktown pay their HOA; every condominium owner pays a condominium association, and Wellington Place I, Wellington Place II and Westchester also share the Commons. KPMA’s own site says copies of “communications, minutes, and budgets may be obtained by contacting Newell Property Management” (KPMA, Forms and Docs). Owners of Knightsbridge, Hampton Row, Nottingham Cove and the Block C estate homes pay only the master. For any home, the estoppel certificate states what is owed: section 718.116(8) governs condominium certificates and section 720.30851 homeowners’ association certificates (Florida Statutes s. 720.30851).

Source: 2025 Collier taxing authority code descriptions; North Collier Fire Resolution 25-013. At 9.5058 mills, every $100,000 of taxable value costs $950.58 a year. For tax year 2026 the county held its general fund at 3.0107 and the unincorporated rate at 0.6844 and cut Conservation Collier to 0.1772 under Resolution 2026-164 (Collier FY26-27 millage resolution); the 2026 total for code 0104 is not yet certified. Homestead and Save Our Homes change the taxable value, not the rate.
Example A, a single-family home with no sub-association, no club. Take a home in Knightsbridge or Nottingham Cove, which pay only the master, with an illustrative $1,000,000 taxable value (an illustration, not a Kensington figure): KPMA $5,136 plus taxes of $1,000,000 x 9.5058 / 1,000 = $9,505.80, for $14,641.80 a year before solid waste and insurance.
Example B, the same home with a Preview Sport membership. Add the club’s published Preview Sport dues, $1,121.37 x 12 = $13,456.44 a year, and the one-time $30,000 promotional initial capital contribution. Year one: $14,641.80 + $13,456.44 + $30,000 = $58,098.24. Later years at 2026 rates: $14,641.80 + $13,456.44 = $28,098.24.
Example C, a coach-home buyer at closing. The Resale Capital Assessment of $2,568 plus the first quarter’s $1,284 is $3,852 paid to KPMA, plus the condominium and, in the Commons villages, Commons dues, which are not published. The estoppel certificates state the real figures.

Kensington Golf and Country Club holds 16 neighborhoods: seven coach-home condominiums with 272 units and nine single-family areas with 291 homes, all under the master association. Twelve of them recorded a sale in the 12 months to August 11, 2026. Each village has its own product, rules and, usually, its own association.
Seven villages now have their own full guides: Canterbury Green, Kensington Gardens, Lancaster Square, Sheffield Villas, The Hamlet, Wellington Place and Yorktown.

Sources: Florida DOR 2026 roll; Florida DBPR condominium extract; KPMA Welcome Packet; FEMA NFHL; sales from the Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026. Living areas below are county-reported, not MLS heated square feet.
Kensington Gardens is the estate village: 83 platted lots, 82 homes and one vacant lot on the 2026 roll, on Gardens Boulevard (58 homes), Hendon Court (7), Castalain Court (6), Gainesborough Court (6) and Saint Barnabas Court (6), built 1998 to 2012. County living area runs 2,741 to 12,092 square feet, median about 4,139, on a median lot of about 15,243 square feet, and the Architectural Control Manual sets minimum house sizes of 3,000, 2,800 or 2,500 square feet by block (ACM). The neighborhood has its own association, Kensington Gardens Homeowners Association, Inc. (N98000000620), managed by Newell, and its 1998 declaration sets a 30-day minimum lease, no more than three leases a year, and ties irrigation to the central non-potable system (Kensington Gardens declaration, Clerk-stamped copy). It is the only neighborhood exempt from the standard KPMA mailbox. Seven sales closed at a $2,700,000 median, from $1,725,000 to $3,375,000; 80 homes are unshaded Zone X and 2 shaded. This is not the 12-unit Kensington Gardens condominium in Olde Naples (ZIP 34102). Our Kensington Gardens page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Knightsbridge holds 31 estate homes on Old Gallows Way (26) and Finchley Lane (5), built 1995 to 2005, with county living area of 3,179 to 10,358 square feet, median about 4,272, on median lots of about 15,510 square feet and up to 31,592. The ACM sets a 2,800-square-foot minimum and bars front-facing garages on both streets (ACM). Knightsbridge has an entry monument but no separate association on KPMA’s list. One sale closed, at $2,650,000 (the MLS spells it “Knights Bridge”). Sixteen homes are shaded Zone X and 15 unshaded, and two of the three FEMA Letters of Map Amendment inside Kensington, both “structure removed,” are here.
Eight estate homes on Kensington High Street, numbers 5094 to 5122, built 1997 to 2001, sit on the largest lots in the community, a median of about 17,901 square feet. The ACM calls them “Estate Homes” with a 3,000-square-foot minimum. There is no neighborhood association and no sale closed in the window. Six are shaded Zone X and two unshaded; the 2025 elevation certificate at 5122 Kensington High Street shows a front threshold at 13.3 feet NAVD88 (Collier elevation certificate, 5122 Kensington High St).
Yorktown holds 43 homes on Phase One Block A along the west and north perimeter, Kensington High Street 5126 to 5294, the oldest in the community, from 1993 with a median year of 1998. County living area runs 2,530 to 9,364 square feet on a median 9,000-square-foot lot; the ACM minimum is 2,000. The Yorktown Villas restated declaration, O.R. Book 6249, Page 3008 (2023), sets a 30-day minimum lease, no more than four leases a year and prior approval (Yorktown Villas restated declaration, Clerk-stamped copy). A new mailbox design was adopted in 2024. Two sales closed, $1,300,000 and $1,600,000, too thin to read as a market rate; three homes are shaded Zone X. Our Yorktown page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Ashley Grove holds 10 homes, the 7-lot Ashley Grove plat plus three adjoining Phase One lots, built 1999 to 2001, with an ACM minimum of 2,000 square feet. It has its own self-managed association (KPMA, July 2026). No sale closed in the window, and three homes are shaded Zone X.
Canterbury Green holds 41 patio homes on Kensington High Street 4981 to 5092 and High Court, built 1996 to 2002, with county living area of 1,668 to 7,670 square feet, median about 2,640, on median 8,500-square-foot lots, an ACM minimum of 1,500 and zero-lot-line style side setbacks. Canterbury Green Homeowners Association, Inc. (N95000005962, filed December 19, 1995) is managed by Newell. Its 1995 declaration, O.R. Book 2131, Page 143, by John N. Brugger, Trustee, requires written leases with copies to both associations three days before the term and sets no term floor in the original; later amendments were not read, so the Declaration governs (Canterbury Green declaration, Clerk-stamped copy). Four sales closed at a $1,325,000 median (the MLS spells it “Canterbury Greens”); five homes are shaded Zone X. Our Canterbury Green page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Hampton Row holds 15 zero-lot-line homes on Kensington High Street 5037 to 5065, built 1997 to 2000, with lots interleaved with Canterbury Green and an ACM minimum of 1,500 square feet. There is no separate association. One sale closed, at $1,475,000; every home is unshaded Zone X. Our Canterbury Green page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Sheffield Villas holds 46 villas along the east perimeter, Kensington High Street 4008 to 4368, built 1997 to 2001, on the smallest lots in Kensington, a median of about 6,000 square feet, with county living area of 2,053 to 6,572 square feet, median about 2,617, and an ACM minimum of 1,500. Aluminum fascia is allowed only here and in Wellington Place and Westchester (ACM). Sheffield Villas Homeowners Association is managed by Newell. Three sales closed at a $1,450,000 median, from $615,000 to $1,700,000, a wide range for three sales. With 24 shaded and 22 unshaded Zone X homes, it has the most shaded-X homes of any village. Our Sheffield Villas page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Nottingham Cove holds 15 homes on Keswick Way along the south perimeter, built 1999 to 2001. The ACM sets a 2,000-square-foot minimum and requires a uniform low driveway entrance light on every lot (ACM 3.A.12.g). Its association is inactive on the state’s records (Sunbiz search, Nottingham Cove). One sale closed, at $1,800,000; every home is unshaded Zone X.
The Hamlet holds 40 coach-home units in 10 four-unit buildings on Hamlet Drive, declared December 5, 1996 and built 1996 to 1999, with the smallest units in Kensington, 1,751 to 2,111 square feet of county living area (Florida DBPR condominium extract). The Hamlet at Kensington Condominium Association is managed by Ability Management, the only Kensington association with a different manager. Units have single-car garages, so residents may park in their driveways overnight (Access and Patrol Manual). Three sales closed at a $735,000 median, from $715,000 to $735,000; three of ten buildings are shaded Zone X. Lease terms: the Declaration governs. Our The Hamlet page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Three condominiums share Lancaster Drive along the Pine Ridge frontage: Lancaster Square I, 24 units, declared June 17, 1994, the first condominium in Kensington; Lancaster Square II, 12 units, declared November 21, 1996; and Lancaster Square III, 20 units, declared April 17, 2000. County living area runs 2,126 to 2,866 square feet in I and II and 2,021 to 2,686 in III, and all three are managed by Newell. Lancaster Square’s April 2026 amendment, O.R. Book 6574, Page 3188, sets a 30-day minimum lease, no more than three leases a year and a one-year maximum (Lancaster Square amendment, Clerk-stamped copy); Lancaster Square III’s 2021 restatement, O.R. Book 5932, Page 2055, sets a 30-day minimum, three leases a year, natural-person lessees only and treats short-term licensing as leasing (Lancaster Square III restatement, Clerk-stamped copy); for Lancaster Square II the Declaration governs. Residents need a dash pass to park in driveways overnight. Eight sales closed under one MLS name at a $917,500 median; two of 14 buildings are shaded Zone X. Our Lancaster Square page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Wellington Place holds 48 coach-home units in 12 buildings on Dover Court, declared January 22, 1999 and all built in 1999, with county living area of 2,021 to 2,686 square feet. It belongs to the Commons and has a pool at 4380 Dover Court (Collier GIS address points); residents use communal overnight parking. Two sales closed, $500,000 and $650,000, too thin to read as a market rate; one of 12 buildings is shaded Zone X. Our Wellington Place page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Wellington Place II is the largest village: 92 coach-home units in 23 buildings on Alberton Court and Stratford Court, declared June 15, 2000 (O.R. Book 2687, Page 1715) and built 2000 to 2002. A recorded 2015 elevation certificate shows a two-story building at 4727 Stratford Court (Collier elevation certificate, 4727 Stratford Ct). Its pool is at 4764 Alberton Court, and garage doors must stay closed. Nine sales closed at a $799,000 median, from $675,000 to $899,000, the most of any village; every building is unshaded Zone X. Our Wellington Place page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Westchester holds 36 coach-home units in nine buildings on Westchester Court, declared May 17, 2000 and built 2000 to 2001; the Commons clubhouse is at 4951 Westchester Court, built 2005. Its 2006 restated declaration sets a 30-day minimum lease, three leases a year plus one board-approved hardship lease, and a one-year maximum (Westchester restated declaration, Clerk-stamped copy). Residents may use the common lot, not driveways, overnight. Two sales closed, $725,000 and $770,000, thin; every building is unshaded Zone X. Our Wellington Place page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Wellington Place I, Wellington Place II and Westchester share a commons association, Wellington Place at Kensington Commons Association, Inc., which holds the shared recreation areas and assigned parking under covenants recorded January 27, 2003; KPMA calls the group “The Commons” (Wellington Place at Kensington Commons covenants, Clerk-stamped copy). Its fee is not published; the estoppel package states it.

Kensington Golf and Country Club, the club, is a member-owned not-for-profit corporation (N97000004570), separate from the master association and optional at purchase. It offers Full Golf, Sport and Social memberships to residents and non-residents; the 2026 Preview and Summer prices are published, and the Full Golf price is not.
The master association is plain: “membership in the club is not required” (KPMA, About Us), and its welcome packet says club membership “is separate from Kensington Park Master Association” (KPMA Welcome Packet, July 2026). The recorded declaration agrees: owning a lot confers no club right (s.10.2) (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration). The club says its memberships are “available to both residents and non-residents” (club, Membership Types). There is a catch once you join: per the club’s 2023 membership offerings, residents who join “must agree to maintain the social level membership as long as they own a residence in the community” (club 2023 Membership Offerings, archived). Buyers should confirm the current by-laws with the club before they apply. Buyers who want golf tied to home ownership rather than an optional club often compare communities such as Forest Glen; each club’s own documents govern.
Category | Golf access | Published 2026 cost | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
Full Golf | Full course access | Not published; the membership office issues it | |
Sport | Unlimited golf off-season, limited in season | Preview Sport: $20,000 fee plus tax, $30,000 promotional capital contribution, $1,121.37 a month including tax | |
Social | No golf as a member; fitness, pool, courts, dining | Preview Social: $10,000 fee plus tax, $15,000 promotional capital contribution, $710.74 a month including tax | |
Summer 2026 | May 1 to October 31, 2026 | $3,500 plus tax ($3,710.00) |
The arithmetic: Preview Sport dues of $1,121.37 x 12 = $13,456.44 a year ($1,057.90 plus $63.47 tax each month), and Preview Social dues of $710.74 x 12 = $8,528.88 a year. Preview Sport golf covers 6 rounds plus 4 event days from November to April, and unlimited golf May to October. The club’s Preview offering states these memberships “do not convey equity, ownership or membership voting rights” (club Preview Membership Offerings). The club’s full memberships trace to the equity memberships issued in the 1998 merger.
The club does not publish its 2026 Full Golf initial capital contribution or Full Golf dues; it provides a membership brochure on request from its membership office (club, Membership Types). We print no figure from anyone else. The one published 2023 cost that still guides budgeting is the food and beverage minimum, $600 a year for a family and $300 for a single member, in the club’s 2023 offerings.
In 2009 the club tried to make membership mandatory for future buyers. The Naples Daily News reported on April 21, 2009 that the proposal had 338 of the 375 votes it needed, that the vote was extended to May 15, 2009, and that two residents had sued the master association in Collier Circuit Court; the plan would have applied only to future buyers (Naples Daily News, April 21, 2009). The club’s membership director quoted 2009 figures then of a $25,000 non-refundable golf initiation, $9,380 in annual dues and a $600 dining minimum; those are 2009 numbers. Today the master association states that membership is not required (KPMA, About Us).
In 2010, the Naples Daily News reported that resigning golf members faced an average of more than five years to exit, with resign lists of 58 golf, 25 sports and 13 social members, and that members at the top of the list received 80% of the going rate; resigning members took the dispute to arbitration under the by-laws (Naples Daily News, Aug 1, 2010). Current resignation and refund terms are set by the club’s by-laws and Membership Plan, which the club provides to applicants. On spending, the then general manager said the 2021 course restoration of nearly $7.2 million came with “no incremental assessment” (First Call Golf, Nov 17, 2021).

The golf course at Kensington Golf and Country Club is a Robert Trent Jones Jr. 18-hole, par-71 layout that opened in January 1994, was restored in 2021 for nearly $7.2 million, plays to 6,757 yards from the back tees and wraps a 20-acre preserve. It hosted U.S. Open local qualifying in 2024 and 2026.

Source: club 2023 scorecard. Par is 71, 35 out and 36 in. The longest hole is the 16th at 607 yards, the longest par 3 the 14th at 219 yards, the 4th runs 592 yards and the 5th is a 152-yard forced carry. Local rules give no relief from the coquina transition areas, treat red-staked environmental areas as no-play zones, and make holes 2 and 10 and every par 3 cart-path-only. Water sits left on holes 1, 2, 10, 12, 16 and 18, and the 13th has a three-tiered green (club, Hole by Hole). The 1998 card measured 6,879 yards (Florida Green, Spring 1998).
Jones has described the course as “starting with the original golf course more than 25 years ago and followed by the renovation completed in 2006” (First Call Golf, Nov 17, 2021). The 2006 work softened greens for hardier grasses, rebuilt tees and bunkers and put coquina paths in place of concrete (Robert Trent Jones II, Kensington portfolio). The 2021 restoration, reopened in November 2021, laid Bimini bermudagrass fairways and TifEagle greens, rebuilt drainage, added ribbon tees and bunker liners, reduced cart paths and installed new irrigation control (GolfCourseArchitecture, Kensington reopens; Gulfshore Business, course renovations). The club says the work widened fairways and added recovery options (club, golf course).
The club lists a driving range, putting green and short-game area (club, Summer), and the 2024 to 2026 renovation rebuilt the golf shop with an indoor TrackMan room and an expanded bag room (club renovation press release). John Metzinger, PGA, is Director of Golf (club, Management Team). Member events include the President’s Cup, Nine and Dines, the Club Championship, the Kensington Cup and a beginner group called “The Mulligans” (club, golf course).
The course was designated a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary in June 2024 (Florida Weekly, June 27, 2024; club, Audubon certification). The Florida State Golf Association used Kensington as a U.S. Open local qualifying site on May 8, 2024 and May 13, 2026 (FSGA, 2024 qualifying sites; FSGA, 2026 U.S. Open qualifying).
Kensington Golf and Country Club has no marina, boat slips, boat storage, beach club or beach shuttle in any club or master association document; it is an inland golf community. The nearest public beach, Clam Pass Park, is about 7.2 minutes from the front gate, and Vanderbilt Beach Park about 12.2 minutes, free-flow.
Boats, trailers and campers may not be kept overnight outside a closed garage, except in the club parking lot with the general manager’s permission (Decl. 8.11, 8.15) (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration; Access and Patrol Manual). The lakes allow no boating or swimming without KPMA consent, and no docks (Decl. 4.8 to 4.10). For beach days, Clam Pass Park is 3.2 road miles from the front gate and Lowdermilk Park about 13.4 minutes (OSRM routing). Trailer boaters use the public ramps; the Golden Gate Community Park ramp is about 3.5 miles straight-line (Collier GIS Parks layer).
Tennis, pickleball and bocce at Kensington Golf and Country Club run on seven Har-Tru clay tennis courts, six pickleball courts after the 2024 to 2026 renovation and two bocce courts (January 2026), with the club reporting “over 600 active Members” in court sports each week. The courts belong to the club, not the master association.
Bryan Twente is Director of Court Sports (club, Management Team), and the club runs round robins, interclub teams, leagues and clinics (club, Court Sports; club, Tennis; club, Pickleball; club, Bocce). The club and Florida Weekly report that Kensington hosted the Nuveen Masters senior tennis tour in the mid-1990s, and the court sports expansion was the final phase of the clubhouse renovation (Florida Weekly, Jan 21, 2026). The welcome packet confirms the courts, fitness center, pools and clubhouse belong to the club and are not maintained by KPMA (KPMA Welcome Packet).
Sport and Social memberships both include the courts; Sport adds golf on the Preview schedule (club, Membership Types). Owning a home confers no club right under the declaration (s.10.2), so court access comes with membership.
The clubhouse at Kensington Golf and Country Club is a 38,000-square-foot building rebuilt inside from 2024 to 2026, serving dinner from Thanksgiving 2025 with a ribbon cutting in January 2026, alongside Brighton Pointe, a resort-style saltwater pool and a fitness center open 5:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Construction began in spring 2024, the club served dinner from Thanksgiving 2025 and held its ribbon cutting in January 2026 (club renovation press release; Florida Weekly, ribbon cutting). The work removed and replaced the interior of the two-story building, added a lobby with course views, casual dining and bars, three ground-floor lounges, redesigned locker rooms, two massage rooms, an enlarged golf shop and an expanded pool, and renovated the maintenance building. The architect was David Humphrey, the contractor Curran Young Construction and the interior designer Wegman Design Group; the building holds events for up to 330 guests (Florida Weekly, Jan 21, 2026). The then general manager called it “one of the most desirable member-owned clubs in Naples” in January 2026; as of October 2026 the general manager is Jose E. Detaille, CCM (club, Management Team). The cost is not published.
The Kensington Dining Room seats up to 150 (130 with a dance floor), and Brighton Pointe, opened in 2019 behind the 18th green, seats 150; the Mayfair Grill has indoor and outdoor bars and a courtyard (club, Dining). Executive Chef Ralph Feraco, CEC, AAC, leads the kitchen, and members have more than 100 events a year, from book clubs, Mah Jongg, bridge and canasta to an Art Guild, a wine club and cooking classes (club blog, Inside Kensington Country Club). The club also hosts non-member weddings and events, with 2026 venue fees of $3,500 to $6,000 and food and beverage minimums of $10,000 to $14,000, and outdoor receptions end by 10 pm (club 2026 Wedding Packages). Expect some weekend event traffic.
The club describes a resort-style saltwater pool with lap lanes, zero-entry access and cabanas (club renovation press release). The fitness center, renovated in 2020, has Precor equipment, a Pilates studio and a group exercise room, open 5:00 am to 10:00 pm, plus a walking and biking club and two massage rooms (club, Fitness). Kristy Breuler is Director of Fitness and Spa.
Kensington Golf and Country Club is in Evacuation Zone C, outside the Coastal High Hazard Area, and KPMA reported only minor gate and landscaping impact from the 2024 hurricanes. Irma’s 2017 lake levels remain the high-water benchmark, and about 88% of homes predate the 2002 statewide building code.
All 632 residential address points in Kensington sit in Evacuation Zone C, and none falls in the Coastal High Hazard Area (Collier GIS evacuation zones; Collier GIS Coastal High Hazard Area). KPMA says the same: “Here in Kensington, we are located in Evacuation Zone ‘C’” (KPMA Hurricane Reminders, July 2025). Florida evacuates Zone A first (FDEM, Know Your Zone), and for Milton in 2024 Collier ordered evacuation of Zones A and B (WBBH, Milton evacuation orders). The Coastal High Hazard Area is defined in section 163.3178(2)(h) of the Florida Statutes (s. 163.3178). In a storm the gates may be left open and unmanned.
County context first: Irma brought a 123-knot gust at Naples Municipal Airport in 2017 (NHC, Hurricane Irma report); Ian in 2022 drove 6 to 9 feet of inundation above ground along the Naples coast, with 33 Collier buildings destroyed and more than 3,500 with major damage (NHC, Hurricane Ian report); Helene in 2024 brought 2 to 4 feet of surge in Naples (NHC, Hurricane Helene report); and Milton followed (NHC, Hurricane Milton report). Inside Kensington, KPMA’s Fall 2024 newsletter reported “minor disruptions with the gate operations” and “only minor landscaping damage from Hurricane Milton,” and its Winter 2025 issue called hurricane costs “minimal compared to other communities,” with the $35,000 contingency unused (KPMA Newsletter, Fall 2024; KPMA Newsletter, Winter 2025). Rain was the 2024 story: more than 86 inches by fall against a 10-year average of 50 to 55, and the club’s golf operations director noted, “Only during Hurricane Irma have we recently seen higher lake levels.” No primary record describes Ian’s effect inside Kensington, so we draw no conclusion about it.
Kensington’s lakes are interconnected, regulated by the South Florida Water Management District and drain passively over a weir at the southeast corner; KPMA is “not permitted to pump water out of, or artificially lower lake levels,” and the 2024 wells only replace irrigation withdrawals (KPMA Newsletter, Fall 2024). The community drains to the I-75 Canal Basin, approved for a maximum discharge of 0.06 cubic feet per second per acre, through private control structure PCS-139 at the southeast corner, and the club and KPMA draw irrigation under SFWMD water use permit 11-00993-W (Collier GIS basins; Collier GIS private outfalls).
Collier’s Florida Building Code 8th Edition map puts the design wind speed at the PUD center at 150, 163, 176 and 184 mph for Risk Categories I to IV; homes are Risk Category II, 163 mph (Collier GIS FBC 8th Edition wind load). The statewide Florida Building Code took effect March 1, 2002 (Florida Housing, Overview of the Florida Building Code), and 496 of 563 Kensington homes, about 88%, carry a year built of 2001 or earlier. The ACM allows only flat or barrel concrete tile roofs, never asphalt; shutters other than rear roll-downs may go up only after May 1 and must come down before November 30, and plywood may not go up more than 7 days before a storm; shutters, impact windows, generators and roofs need ARB approval (ACM). Wind-mitigation credits are set by statute (s. 627.711).
Every home and condominium building in Kensington Golf and Country Club is in FEMA Zone X on one panel, 12021C0384J, effective February 8, 2024: 81.9% of structures unshaded and 18.1% shaded (0.2% annual chance). The lakes and fairways carry the AE and AH zones, and no preliminary or pending map change applies.

Sources: FEMA NFHL layer 28 and layer 3, FIRM panels; 61 of 61 sampled addresses sit on panel 12021C0384J. The PUD’s land is about 21% in a 100-year zone (AE 18.2%, AH 3.1%), 37.1% shaded X and 41.7% unshaded X, and the base flood elevation lines inside, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0 and 11.5 feet NAVD88, belong to the lakes and fairways (FEMA NFHL layer 16, BFE lines). Many homes sit within a few dozen meters of a mapped zone edge, so a lender’s determination is still read on the building footprint.
Two elevation certificates in Collier’s library sit inside the PUD. At 4727 Stratford Court in Wellington Place II (2015), the top of the bottom floor is 12.6 feet NAVD88, the second floor 23.3 feet, the garage 11.8 feet and the lowest adjacent grade 12.0 feet (Collier elevation certificate, 4727 Stratford Ct). At 5122 Kensington High Street (2025, shaded Zone X), the front threshold is 13.3 feet, the garage 12.6 feet and the lowest adjacent grade 12.5 feet (Collier elevation certificate, 5122 Kensington High St). Those floors sit about 2.1 and 3.3 feet above the nearest lake BFE lines of 10.5 and 10.0 feet; freeboard over a nearby lake line is a practical indicator, not a regulatory one.
Three Letters of Map Amendment exist inside Kensington, all “structure removed” determinations issued on the 2012 map and revalidated on the 2024 panel by FEMA letter 18-04-0009V, effective February 9, 2024 (FEMA LOMC revalidation 18-04-0009V); on today’s map all three structures are Zone X. The prior panel was 12021C0384H (May 16, 2012). FEMA shows no preliminary or pending map and no LOMR for the PUD (FEMA Prelim NFHL). Unincorporated Collier County has been a Community Rating System Class 5 community since October 1, 2015, worth a 25% NFIP discount inside a 100-year zone and 10% outside it (OpenFEMA Community Status Book, CID 120067).
Insurance in Kensington Golf and Country Club starts from Zone X everywhere, so no federal flood mandate applies by zone, but Citizens requires flood coverage on every personal residential policy from 2027. Single-family owners insure their own homes, condominium associations insure their buildings, and KPMA insures only the common areas.
Citizens Property Insurance phased in a flood requirement: dwellings with a replacement cost of $600,000 or more from January 1, 2024, $500,000 or more in 2025, $400,000 or more in 2026, and all other personal residential policies from January 1, 2027 (s. 627.351). On August 31, 2026 Citizens had 1,839 multiperil and 964 wind-only personal residential policies in force in Collier County (Citizens, Detail by County, Aug 31, 2026). For context only, the surrounding census tract (104.32), which is larger than Kensington and includes 100-year zone property, had 712 NFIP policies in force in 2026 at a median cost of $1,157, and two NFIP claims ever, both in Zone X: $31,819 after Irma in 2017 and 2, 375afterfloodinginJune2024([OpenFEMANFIPpolicies, tract12021010432](https : //www.fema.gov/api/open/v2/FimaNfipPolicies?filter=censusTract%20eq%20’12021010432’); OpenFEMA NFIP claims, tract 12021010432).
Section 9.2 requires each owner to insure their own Lot and Home, “including all risk, flood, liability,” and section 9.1(F) has KPMA flood-insure any Common Area in a 100-year zone. After a casualty, repair must start within 90 days and finish within 12 months, and KPMA may act after 90 days (s.9.3, 9.4) (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration). Contractors’ certificates of insurance must name KPMA (KPMA certificate of insurance requirements).
Every Kensington condominium building is a four-unit coach home. Collier County’s milestone list shows no building inside Kensington (Collier GIS milestone map), and both the structural integrity reserve study requirement and the milestone inspection statute exclude four-family dwellings with three or fewer habitable stories above ground (s. 718.112; s. 553.899). A recorded elevation certificate shows a Wellington Place II building is two stories. Reserves for roofs, paint and paving still apply under section 718.112(2)(f). Under section 718.111(11), each association insures its condominium property at replacement cost, appraised at least every three years, and the owner insures the unit interior with an HO-6 policy (s. 718.111). Ask each association for its master policy declarations page, windstorm deductible, last replacement-cost appraisal and reserve schedule.
Because about 88% of homes were built in 2001 or earlier, roof age and wind-mitigation features drive premiums. A wind-mitigation inspection under section 627.711 documents roof-to-wall connections, roof shape and opening protection for credits (s. 627.711), and any re-roof must be concrete tile under the ACM. KPMA’s own insurance cost rose 30% in 2026 (KPMA Newsletter, Winter/Spring 2026).

Times come from the OSRM car profile on OpenStreetMap, free-flow with no traffic, run October 11, 2026, from the physical front gate at Kensington Park Boulevard and Pine Ridge Road. The farthest home, in Nottingham Cove, adds about 3 minutes. The back gate on Livingston Road is faster for trips east and southeast, and the front gate for trips west. Peak-season traffic on Pine Ridge Road lengthens every trip: the county’s 2025 inventory rates the Airport-to-Livingston segment at 96.7% of capacity (Collier 2025 AUIR).
Near Kensington Golf and Country Club, the biggest project is Collier County’s rebuild of the Pine Ridge and Livingston intersection with a jughandle, with construction potentially from summer 2027. The I-75 diverging diamond at Pine Ridge opened in May 2026, and nearby residential growth is small: Hamilton Place and Songbird at Whippoorwill are already built.
The county’s Pine Ridge Road corridor project will send northbound Livingston Road left turns through a jughandle about 600 feet south of Pine Ridge, and eastbound Pine Ridge right turns about 420 feet west of Livingston. The 60% design meeting was held June 18, 2026, design is expected to be complete at the end of 2026, and construction could begin from summer 2027 for about 18 months (Collier County, Pine Ridge Road Corridor public meeting; 60% design plans handout). The county’s Livingston Road exhibit labels Kensington Golf and Country Club and La Costa beside the work (Livingston Rd exhibit, June 2026; Pine Ridge Rd exhibit, June 2026). Commissioners approved the jughandle concept on November 14, 2023 and the FPL relocation design on May 28, 2024, after a 4-1 vote in March 2018 to rebuild three Pine Ridge intersections (Naples Daily News, March 27, 2018). The exact footprint is not in the published plans read here.
FDOT’s interchange project at I-75 and Pine Ridge Road (FPN 445296-1), about $27.5 million, began its current construction phase in early 2025; the diverging diamond traffic pattern opened at the end of May 2026, and completion is expected in mid 2027 (FDOT, 445296-1; WBBH, Collier’s first diverging diamond opens). Separately, I-75 express lanes from Golden Gate Parkway to Alico Road (FPN 452544-1) are in construction from mid 2026, with an auxiliary-lane hearing on October 27, 2026 in person and October 28 virtually (FDOT, 452544-1).

Source: Collier County 2025 AUIR. The county’s Project 60201, Pine Ridge Road from Livingston to I-75, carries $6,086 thousand. Livingston Road has spare capacity, which is why the back gate is often the faster exit in season.
Residential growth nearby is modest. Hamilton Place, 66 homes built from 2020 to 2023, sits east across Livingston Road; the county accepted its plat improvements on October 13, 2026, releasing $91,733.11 (Collier BCC agenda, Oct 13, 2026). Songbird at Whippoorwill, 260 condominium units built 2023 to 2024, sits 0.56 to 0.70 mile east (Florida DOR 2026 roll). Two small rezonings fall within a mile: Ordinance 2025-35 at 3001 Bailey Lane (2.56 acres, up to three homes, 0.63 mile) and Ordinance 26-015 at 1331 Jaybird Way (6.86 acres, A to RSF-2, 0.77 mile) (Collier BCC agenda, May 12, 2026). No new apartment project is proposed within a mile; the nearest existing ones are La Costa (228 units, 1998) on the corner Kensington wraps and two complexes across Pine Ridge (176 units, 1987, and 192 units, 1989).
Germain Honda at 3295 Pine Ridge Road was approved for fuel tanks for dealership use only, heard February 13, 2026 as HEX 26-06 (Collier Hearing Examiner agenda, Feb 13, 2026). About 2 miles south, Grey Oaks MPUD Ordinance 26-12 (April 28, 2026) allowed a 0.6 floor-area ratio for assisted living on the 55.5-acre Moorings Park Grande Lake parcel, capped at 1,127,590 square feet (Collier BCC agenda, Apr 28, 2026). Wyndemere, about 0.7 mile away, has its own golf course work under county site-plan review. The county also replaced the irrigation-quality main at Pine Ridge Road and I-75 for $1,921,026, approved January 13, 2026 (Collier BCC agenda, Jan 13, 2026).
The nearest county park is Poinciana Village Park, about 1.0 mile from the PUD edge and 1.87 miles from the interior, and the nearest beach park is Clam Pass Park, 3.2 road miles (Collier GIS Parks layer). FDOT is studying a Livingston FPL trail extension (FPN 447514-1) (FDOT, 447514-1).
Kensington Golf and Country Club rules start with the recorded master declaration (2016), the master association’s Rules and Regulations, the Access and Patrol Manual and the Architectural Control Manual, then each neighborhood’s own declaration. Leasing terms come mostly from the neighborhood documents; where none was read, the Declaration and Rules govern.
The recorded master declaration sets no minimum lease term; KPMA says rentals must follow Collier County rules and the neighborhood association’s own rules (KPMA, About Us; Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration). The recorded neighborhood rules read so far:
Neighborhood | Recorded instrument | Minimum term | Leases per year | Other |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Yorktown Villas | Restated declaration, O.R. 6249 / 3008 (2023) | 30 days | 4 | Prior approval, background checks |
Lancaster Square (I) | Amendment, O.R. 6574 / 3188 (April 2026) | 30 days | 3 | One-year maximum |
Lancaster Square III | Restatement, O.R. 5932 / 2055 (2021) | 30 days | 3 | Natural-person lessees; short-term licensing counts as leasing |
Westchester | Restated declaration (2006) | 30 days | 3, plus one board-approved hardship lease | One-year maximum |
Kensington Gardens | Declaration (1998) | 30 days | 3 | |
Canterbury Green | Declaration, O.R. 2131 / 143 (1995) | No floor in the original | Not stated | Written lease, copies to both associations 3 days before |
The Hamlet, Lancaster Square II, Wellington Place I and II, Sheffield Villas, Ashley Grove | Not read | The Declaration governs |
Sources: Yorktown Villas, Clerk-stamped copy; Lancaster Square, Clerk-stamped copy; Lancaster Square III, Clerk-stamped copy; Westchester, Clerk-stamped copy; Kensington Gardens, Clerk-stamped copy; Canterbury Green, Clerk-stamped copy. Collier County also requires short-term vacation rentals to register under Ordinance 2021-45, and rentals of six months or less owe tourist tax (Collier County, short-term vacation rental registration; Collier Tax Collector, tourist tax FAQ). Tenants must register in dwellingLIVE and must park in the garage.
The master declaration (s.8.20) allows no more than two household pets, leashed or carried outside, and bars reptiles, monkeys, rodents, amphibians, poultry, swine, rabbits, ferrets and livestock and commercial breeding. Pets are not allowed on Country Club property (Second Amended and Restated Master Declaration). The Architectural Control Manual (effective August 21, 2025) does not permit electronic dog fences (ACM). Neighborhood documents may add their own limits.
The front gate is staffed around the clock; the back gate at 2774 Eatonwood Lane has an officer Monday to Saturday from 7:00 to 17:00, admits barcode vehicles from 7 am to 11 pm, and is the mandatory entrance for contractors and commercial vendors (Access and Patrol Manual, Feb 2025). Resident vehicles must be garaged overnight, with exceptions for single-car-garage homes and communal-lot neighborhoods; there is no overnight street parking, and guests may park overnight in a driveway only with a dash pass (up to 30 days, up to three non-consecutive times a year). Boats, trailers, motor homes and campers may not be parked overnight outside a closed garage, except in the club lot with the general manager’s permission. Access and Patrol tickets start with a warning, then $100 each, with continuing violations capped at $1,000 a year, and speeding is ticketed at more than 5 mph over the limit. The board’s Summary of Fines sets $100 per day per violation up to $1,000 (KPMA Summary of Fines, Feb 21, 2024).
The Architectural Review Board must approve essentially every exterior change, including repainting in the same color, roofs (flat or barrel concrete tile only), shutters, generators, lanai and pool cages, landscaping and tree removal. New homes and teardowns pay a $1,000 initial application fee plus a $1,000 design review fee (ACM). Not permitted anywhere: sheds and detached storage, factory-built structures, doghouses, outdoor antennas and towers, satellite dishes over 1 meter, above-ground pools and spas, window or wall air conditioners, carports, garage sales, recreational drone flying, asphalt roofs and artificial turf or gravel in place of lawn. Contractors work 7:00 to 17:00, Monday to Saturday, never Sundays or national holidays, through the Livingston gate (KPMA, contractor rules).
One “for sale” sign of a prescribed design is allowed: a Kensington-green post with a white panel and forest-green copy, 36 inches tall. Open houses are held only on KPMA-designated Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 pm, and showing agents must be authorized by the listing agent, whom the seller sets up in dwellingLIVE (KPMA, Realtors; ACM).
Kensington Golf and Country Club and Grey Oaks touch on Kensington’s south side and both began building in 1993, but they answer different questions: one Robert Trent Jones Jr. course with optional membership and a $925,000 median against three 18-hole courses and a $3,975,000 median, by the windows each guide states.
Criterion | Kensington Golf and Country Club | Grey Oaks |
|---|---|---|
Size | About 370 acres, 563 homes | About 1,601 acres at Airport-Pulling Road and Golden Gate Parkway |
First homes | 1993 | 1993 |
Golf | One Robert Trent Jones Jr. 18, par 71 | Three 18-hole courses: Pine (1993, Lloyd Clifton), Palm (1997 to 1999), Estuary (2003, Bob Cupp) |
Club model | Member-owned, optional at purchase | Member-owned equity club |
Master fee | $1,284 a quarter (2026), Hotwire included | $1,509 a quarter ($6,036 a year), including cable, internet and alarm monitoring |

CDD | None | None |
Flood | 0 structures in a 100-year zone; panel 0384J (Feb 8, 2024) | 35.1% of 228 sampled points in a 100-year zone; panels 0392J and 0384J |
12-month sales | 43, $925,000 median, $500,000 to $3,375,000 (MLS, Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026) | 52, $3,975,000 median, $1,200,000 to $16,500,000 (MLS, Sept 13, 2025 to Sept 13, 2026) |
Zoned schools | Osceola Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle, Barron Collier High | Poinciana Elementary, Gulfview Middle, Naples High |
Grey Oaks figures come from our Grey Oaks guide, whose market window ends a month later than this page’s; Kensington figures are sourced throughout this page.
Choose Kensington if you want a coach home or a golf-course single-family home under $3,400,000, a single championship course, the option to join the club later rather than at closing, and no home in a 100-year flood zone. Choose Grey Oaks if you want three courses, a larger estate market and an equity club built into the purchase, and your budget starts well above Kensington’s top sale. Either way, the schools differ by address, so confirm them with the district.

Kensington Golf and Country Club offers a gated, built-out golf community with optional membership, no CDD, Zone X flood mapping for every structure and A-rated schools across the road. The trade-offs are an older housing stock, unpublished neighborhood fees, a Full Golf price you must request and road work coming to the main intersection.
Seven Kensington Golf and Country Club neighborhoods have their own association and product distinct enough for their own guide: Kensington Gardens, Wellington Place, Lancaster Square, Canterbury Green, Sheffield Villas, The Hamlet and Yorktown. Each will carry its own market snapshot and association details.
The 83-lot estate village on Gardens Boulevard, with its own HOA and the highest prices in the community. Our Kensington Gardens page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Wellington Place I, Wellington Place II and Westchester, the three Commons condominiums, 176 coach-home units. Our Wellington Place page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
The three Lancaster Square condominiums on Lancaster Drive, 56 units, the oldest condominium product here. Our Lancaster Square page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
Canterbury Green’s 41 patio homes, covered with the 15 Hampton Row homes. Our Canterbury Green page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
The 46 villas on the east perimeter. Our Sheffield Villas page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
The 40 smallest coach-home units, managed by Ability Management. Our The Hamlet page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
The 43 oldest homes, on the west and north perimeter. Our Yorktown page carries its own market snapshot and association details.
If you’re searching for the best Kensington Golf and Country Club listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need to sell my house in Kensington Golf and Country Club’, start here. McGreevy and Comisar have been Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008 and have over $900 million in sales, and we price Kensington homes village by village.
We tracked 43 closed sales in Kensington Golf and Country Club in the 12 months to August 11, 2026, at a $925,000 median, from $500,000 to $3,375,000, with $55,479,009 in volume (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). Coach homes closed at a $777,500 median and single-family homes at $1,700,000, and Wellington Place II led the villages with 9 closings. Those are the comparables a buyer’s appraiser will pull, so your list price has to make sense against your own village’s sales. Kensington homes took a median 47 days on market (40 sales reporting), and on October 22, 2026 you would compete with 4 active listings.

Your price depends on your village, product, lot and course view. Start with a free Kensington home valuation, then call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to walk through the closed sales that match your street and product.
You can also read how we sell homes in Naples, from pricing through closing, or go straight to our Kensington seller page and the Kensington home valuation page.
When a village had one sale in a year, we price from that sale plus the closest comparable villages and the community’s single-family range. Knightsbridge’s one sale was $2,650,000 and Nottingham Cove’s $1,800,000; Kensington Gardens’ seven sales, $1,725,000 to $3,375,000, are the nearest estate benchmark. One sale is too thin to read as a market rate, so we show the buyer the full set.
KPMA’s Resale Capital Assessment is two quarters, $2,568 at 2026 rates, paid by the buyer unless the contract says otherwise (Decl. 3.16), and quarterly dues of $1,284 prorate by date. Your neighborhood or condominium association issues its own estoppel certificate, and its fees are not published; we order every certificate when the contract is signed.
Club membership is separate from the home, and the master association does not transfer it. Resignation, transfer and refund terms are set by the club’s by-laws and Membership Plan, which the club provides to members and applicants. Ask the club in writing before you list, so your buyer knows the path.
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy, so it is not one of your seller costs; the contract controls. You customarily pay Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100, which is $6,475 on the $925,000 median.
Yes, within KPMA’s rules: one sign of the prescribed Kensington design, and open houses only on KPMA-designated Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. Showing agents are authorized through dwellingLIVE by your listing agent (KPMA, Realtors).
Florida’s flood disclosure law, section 689.302, requires a written seller flood disclosure at or before contract for residential sales executed on or after October 1, 2025, covering flood insurance claims and federal flood assistance on the property (s. 689.302). Kensington is Zone X everywhere, but the disclosure covers history, not zone. Confirm your duties with a Florida real estate attorney.

These Kensington Golf and Country Club questions come from what buyers search and ask, and each answer carries its fact and source. Market figures are Southwest Florida MLS closed sales August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2026, pulled August 11, 2026, unless another date is given.
Yes. Kensington Park is the community’s legal name on the PUD (PUD-91-11, Ordinance 98-8), the plats and the master association, Kensington Park Master Association, Inc.; Kensington Golf and Country Club is the club’s name and the name most buyers use. They describe the same 563 homes on Pine Ridge Road in ZIP 34105 (Collier GIS PUD layer).
563: 291 single-family homes and 272 coach-home condominium units, in 16 neighborhoods, per the master association and the 2026 state tax roll (KPMA, About Us). The PUD allows up to 570 dwelling units, so 7 units of entitlement were never built. Nothing new is planned.
About 370 acres, 370.16 in Ordinance 98-8: roughly 120 acres residential, 223 acres of commons and recreation including the golf course, 20 acres of preserve and 7 acres of buffer, with 51 acres of lakes (Ordinance 98-8).
Every Kensington home is in ZIP 34105, and every one of the 43 closings in the last 12 months carried that ZIP. The club’s mailing address is 2700 Pine Ridge Road, Naples 34109, because Pine Ridge Road is the ZIP line; the clubhouse site itself is 5350 Kensington Park Boulevard.
Yes. The front gate on Pine Ridge Road is staffed around the clock, a roving patrol officer works 24 hours a day, and the back gate on Eatonwood Lane off Livingston Road has an officer Monday to Saturday from 7:00 to 17:00 and admits barcode vehicles from 7 am to 11 pm (Access and Patrol Manual).
The 43 closings ran from $500,000 to $3,375,000 at a $925,000 median. Coach-home condominiums closed at a $777,500 median ($500,000 to $1,275,000) and single-family homes at $1,700,000 ($615,000 to $3,375,000). Kensington Gardens led prices at a $2,700,000 median on seven sales.
Yes, most often as a coach home. All 24 coach-home sales closed between $500,000 and $1,275,000, with a $777,500 median, and Wellington Place II’s nine sales ran $675,000 to $899,000. One single-family sale, in Sheffield Villas, closed at $615,000.
Coach homes are the community’s condominium units: two-level homes in four-unit buildings, 272 units in seven condominiums (Lancaster Square I, II and III, The Hamlet, Wellington Place, Wellington Place II and Westchester). Each condominium has its own association under the master association.
No. The master association states that “membership in the club is not required,” and the recorded declaration says owning a lot confers no club right. If you do join, the club’s 2023 offerings say residents must keep at least a Social membership while they own in the community; confirm the current by-laws with the club.
The club publishes its 2026 Preview prices: Preview Sport at a $20,000 fee plus tax, a $30,000 promotional capital contribution and $1,121.37 a month in dues including tax; Preview Social at a $10,000 fee plus tax, a $15,000 promotional capital contribution and $710.74 a month. The Full Golf price is not published; the membership office issues it (club Preview offerings).
Yes. The 2026 Summer membership ran May 1 to October 31, 2026 at $3,500 plus tax ($3,710.00), with cart fees of $35 for 18 holes and $22 for 9 and walking fees of $18 and $10 (club, Summer).
The club’s 2023 membership offerings set a food and beverage minimum of $600 a year for a family and $300 for a single member. Confirm the current minimum with the club when you apply.
Yes. The club says its memberships are “available to both residents and non-residents” (club, Membership Types).
Yes, in 2009. The Naples Daily News reported the proposal had 338 of the 375 votes needed, the vote was extended to May 15, 2009, two residents sued the master association, and the plan would have applied only to future buyers. Today the master association states membership is not required.
The master assessment is $1,284 a quarter in 2026, $5,136 a year, the same for every home, with Hotwire fiber TV and internet included. Most homes also pay a neighborhood or condominium association, whose fees are not published; the estoppel certificate states them. There is no CDD.
The gates and 24-hour patrol, roads, lakes and lake banks, common landscaping, master insurance, reserves, management by Newell and the Hotwire bulk service of TV, internet and phone (KPMA Welcome Packet; Hotwire information).
Yes, to the master association: a Resale Capital Assessment of two quarterly installments, $2,568 at 2026 rates, paid by the buyer unless the contract says otherwise (Decl. 3.16). Club capital contributions apply only if you join.
No. Collier County’s district layer shows no community development district in the Kensington Park PUD, and the tax bills under code 0104 carry no CDD line.
The 2025 millage for code 0104 was 9.5058 mills, $950.58 per $100,000 of taxable value. On an illustrative $1,000,000 taxable value that is $9,505.80 a year; homestead and Save Our Homes lower the taxable value, not the rate. The 2026 total is not yet certified.
Zone X for every home and condominium building, on FEMA panel 12021C0384J effective February 8, 2024: 294 structures unshaded and 65 shaded (0.2% annual chance). None is in a 100-year flood zone, and three structures have revalidated Letters of Map Amendment.
A federally backed mortgage does not require it by zone, but a lender may, the master declaration requires owners to insure their homes “including all risk, flood, liability,” and Citizens requires flood coverage on dwellings valued at $400,000 or more in 2026 and on all personal residential policies from January 1, 2027.
Evacuation Zone C, and no address is in the Coastal High Hazard Area. For Milton in 2024, Collier ordered evacuation of Zones A and B. KPMA reported only minor gate and landscaping impact from the 2024 hurricanes.
The statutes exclude four-family dwellings with three or fewer habitable stories, and every Kensington condominium building is a four-unit coach home; Collier’s milestone list shows no building inside Kensington. Reserves for roofs, paint and paving still apply, so ask each association for its reserve schedule.
Osceola Elementary, Pine Ridge Middle and Barron Collier High for every address (19 of 19 lookups, 2026-27), each graded A every year from 2022 to 2026. Barron Collier is 3.1 minutes and Osceola 4.2 minutes from the front gate.
Physicians Regional Pine Ridge’s 24-hour emergency department is about 5 minutes from the front gate; NCH North Naples Hospital, with Collier’s only 24-hour pediatric ER, is about 11 minutes, and NCH Baker Hospital about 14.
Clam Pass Park is about 7.2 minutes and 3.2 road miles from the front gate, Vanderbilt Beach Park 12.2 minutes, and Fifth Avenue South 13.8 minutes, free-flow. RSW is about 36.9 minutes.
Yes, under your neighborhood’s rules. The master declaration sets no minimum term, but neighborhood documents do: Yorktown Villas, Lancaster Square, Lancaster Square III, Westchester and Kensington Gardens all set 30-day minimums with three or four leases a year. Tenants register in dwellingLIVE and must garage-park, and Collier County requires short-term rental registration.
No more than two household pets under the master declaration (s.8.20), leashed or carried outside, with listed animals barred and no pets on club property. Electronic dog fences are not permitted under the Architectural Control Manual.
Only inside a closed garage. Boats, trailers, motor homes and campers may not be parked overnight outside a closed garage, except in the club lot with the general manager’s permission, and there is no boat or RV storage facility.
No. Kensington is an inland golf community with no marina, slips, boat storage, beach club or shuttle, and the lakes allow no boating, swimming or docks without KPMA consent.
Seven Har-Tru clay tennis courts, six pickleball courts after the 2024 to 2026 renovation and two bocce courts, dated January 2026, with the club reporting more than 600 active members in court sports weekly.
A Robert Trent Jones Jr. 18-hole, par-71 course that opened in January 1994, plays to 6,757 yards from the back tees (73.2 / 138), was restored in 2021 for nearly $7.2 million and is a Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. It hosted U.S. Open local qualifying in 2024 and 2026.
Yes. The 38,000-square-foot clubhouse served dinner from Thanksgiving 2025 and held its ribbon cutting in January 2026, with new dining, bars, lounges, locker rooms, an enlarged golf shop and an expanded pool (Florida Weekly, Jan 21, 2026).
Almost none. The PUD is built out; the 2026 roll shows one private vacant lot in Kensington Gardens and one club-owned vacant parcel, and the newest home dates from 2012. A buyer is buying a resale, often one that has been renovated.
No. Kensington Gardens inside Kensington is the 83-lot estate village on Gardens Boulevard in ZIP 34105. A separate 12-unit condominium called Kensington Gardens sits in Olde Naples, ZIP 34102, with its own association.
No recorded Kensington document restricts age. It is an all-ages community, and its zoned schools sit across Pine Ridge Road.

These Kensington Golf and Country Club seller questions come from what owners search before they sell, and each answer carries its fact and source. Market figures are Southwest Florida MLS closed sales August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2026, pulled August 11, 2026, unless another date is given.
It depends on your village, product, lot and view more than on the $925,000 community median. Coach homes closed at a $777,500 median and single-family homes at $1,700,000, with village medians from $735,000 in The Hamlet to $2,700,000 in Kensington Gardens. For your own number, request a free home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
We tracked 43 closings in the 12 months to August 11, 2026, $55,479,009 in volume: 24 coach homes and 19 single-family homes. That is 7.6% of the 563 homes changing hands in a year.
The 24 coach-home sales closed from $500,000 to $1,275,000 at a $777,500 median: Wellington Place II at a $799,000 median on nine sales, Lancaster Square at $917,500 on eight, The Hamlet at $735,000 on three, and two sales each in Wellington Place ($500,000 and $650,000) and Westchester ($725,000 and $770,000).
The 19 single-family sales closed from $615,000 to $3,375,000 at a $1,700,000 median: Kensington Gardens at a $2,700,000 median on seven sales, Canterbury Green at $1,325,000 on four, Sheffield Villas at $1,450,000 on three, Yorktown at $1,300,000 and $1,600,000, and one each in Hampton Row ($1,475,000), Knightsbridge ($2,650,000) and Nottingham Cove ($1,800,000).
$3,375,000, the top of the seven Kensington Gardens sales in the 12 months to August 11, 2026. Knightsbridge’s one sale, at $2,650,000, was the next estate benchmark outside Kensington Gardens.
The Kensington median days on market was 47, measured on the 40 sales reporting DOM (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). A home priced inside its village’s closed range sells fastest, and we pull the current figure the day you ask.
The active count was 4 on October 22, 2026; we pull it again on the day you call, because Kensington’s 43-sale year means inventory can move by village within weeks.
The right month depends on your village and product. The August 2026 extract holds each sale’s close date, so we read when your own village’s homes closed over the last 12 months, and the active competition that day, before we recommend a listing date. A home priced inside its village’s closed range is the one that sells in any month.
It widens the buyer pool: a buyer can choose Kensington without committing to a club, and golfers can join through the club’s published Preview categories or a Full Golf membership. Membership is separate from the home, so your buyer decides on their own.
Not through the master association. Resignation, transfer and refund terms are set by the club’s by-laws and Membership Plan, which the club provides to members. In 2010 the Naples Daily News reported resign lists and an average of more than five years to exit; current terms are the club’s to state, so ask in writing before you list.
That depends on the club’s current by-laws and Membership Plan, not on the sale. The club’s 2023 offerings required resident members to keep at least Social while they own in the community; what happens at sale is in the by-laws, which the club provides.
KPMA charges the buyer a Resale Capital Assessment of two quarters, $2,568 at 2026 rates, unless the contract allocates it otherwise (Decl. 3.16). Quarterly dues of $1,284 prorate by date, and the estoppel certificate from Newell states what is owed.
KPMA directs estoppel and lender questionnaire requests to Newell Property Management (KPMA, Realtors). Your neighborhood or condominium association issues its own certificate. Section 720.30851 caps homeowners’ association estoppel fees and section 718.116(8) governs condominium certificates.
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy and chooses the closing agent, so it is not one of your seller costs by default; the contract controls.
$0.70 per $100 of price on the deed, customarily paid by the seller: $6,475 on the $925,000 community median, $5,442.50 on the $777,500 coach-home median and $11,900 on the $1,700,000 single-family median.
Commission as agreed, deed stamps at $0.70 per $100, prorated property taxes and dues, and estoppel charges as the contract allocates them; the owner’s title policy is customarily the buyer’s in Collier County. We give you a net sheet before you list.
For homeowners’ association property, section 720.401 requires the seller to give the buyer a disclosure summary before the buyer signs the contract (s. 720.401). Condominium units follow chapter 718 instead, so the rule differs by product; ask your closing agent or attorney which applies to your home. This is information, not legal advice.
Section 689.302 requires a written seller flood disclosure at or before contract for residential sales executed on or after October 1, 2025, covering flood insurance claims and federal flood assistance on the property. Kensington is Zone X everywhere, but the disclosure is about history, not zone.
Each neighborhood or condominium declaration governs approval, and the rules differ: Yorktown Villas’ 2023 restatement requires prior approval for leases, and several condominiums restrict leasing. Whether a sale needs approval depends on your own declaration, which we read before you list so the timeline is in the contract.
Yes, subject to the lease and your neighborhood’s rules. The buyer takes the home subject to the lease unless it ends first, and tenants must be registered in dwellingLIVE and garage-park. Many Kensington neighborhoods cap leases at three or four a year with 30-day minimums.
Yes, one sign of the prescribed Kensington design: a Kensington-green post, white panel and forest-green copy, 36 inches tall (ACM). Open houses run only on KPMA-designated Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 pm.
Your listing agent is set up in dwellingLIVE by you, and showing agents must be authorized by the listing agent before they arrive (KPMA, Realtors). We clear every showing, inspection and appraisal in advance.
Yes. About 88% of homes were built in 2001 or earlier, and insurers read roof age closely. A newer concrete tile roof, or a good wind-mitigation report under section 627.711, helps a buyer insure the home. Re-roofs must be concrete tile under the ACM.
Fix what an inspector or insurer will flag first: roof, AC, water heater and any unapproved exterior work. Any exterior change needs ARB approval, so allow time. We walk the home with you and rank improvements by return.
It gives buyers a new 38,000-square-foot clubhouse to tour, reopened in January 2026, and a course restored in 2021, both on the club’s side. The value of your home still comes from your village’s closed sales.
The August 2026 extract does not record view, so no published figure isolates it. We measure it by comparing course-view and non-view sales of the same product, village by village.
From its one sale, $1,475,000, plus Canterbury Green’s four sales at a $1,325,000 median, since the two neighborhoods interleave and share zero-lot-line rules, and the single-family range. One sale is too thin to read as a market rate.
You can, but the paperwork is heavy here: KPMA’s Resale Capital Assessment, two estoppel certificates, condominium documents, dwellingLIVE access for showings and the club question every buyer asks. Most owners net more with representation; compare before you decide.
Yes. Commissions are negotiable, and since August 2024 buyer-agent compensation is agreed in writing between the buyer and their agent. You may still offer a concession or agree to pay a buyer’s agent in the contract.
Yes. We handle access, showings, inspections and contractors, and the closing agent can arrange remote signing. Estate transfers are exempt from KPMA’s Resale Capital Assessment under Decl. 3.16, though a later sale to a buyer is not.
Yes, it is free, and you do not have to list. You get a written opinion of value and a net sheet built from your village’s closed sales. Start with a free home valuation, read how we sell homes in Naples, or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
