If you own a home in Lakewood and are thinking about selling, or you are weighing a Lakewood villa against a single-family home on the course, Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar wrote this page for you. McGreevy and Comisar are the #5 real estate team in Florida in the 2026 RealTrends rankings, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, with over $900 million in personal sales, and Jesse has worked Southwest Florida real estate since 2004. Lakewood is an established golf-course neighborhood of about 1,000 homes in East Naples, Florida, not to be confused with Lakewood Ranch near Sarasota. It sits east of Airport Road between Davis Boulevard and Tamiami Trail East in ZIP 34112, it was laid out by U.S. Home of Florida under a master declaration recorded in 1974, and every home belongs to one master association, Lakewood Community Services Association, Inc. (Lakewood Community Services, About; 1974 Declaration, posted by the master association). The 18-hole par 60 course at its center, Lakewood Country Club, is open to the public, so golf is pay as you play rather than bundled into the dues (Lakewood Country Club).
McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for Lakewood in Naples because they pair career-scale results, the #5 real estate team in Florida in the 2026 RealTrends rankings and over $900 million in personal sales, with a record-by-record read of Lakewood itself: its 1974 declaration, its fourteen associations, its master budget, its 60 FEMA flood checks and its 63 MLS closings.
If you’re searching for the best realtor for Lakewood, whether you’re ready to sell your Lakewood home or buy your next one, McGreevy and Comisar is the team that delivers. We lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc.

Domain Realty, our brokerage, closed 658 transaction sides in Naples in the 60 months to October 5, 2026, $521.5 million in volume counted by side, per the Southwest Florida MLS pulled that day.
The Lakewood market, last 12 months: We tracked 63 Lakewood closings in the Southwest Florida MLS, $19,043,500 in volume, at a $280,000 median and a range of $105,000 to $670,000 (closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026).
That one median hides three markets. A Lakewood condominium on Boca Ciega Drive, an attached villa on Round Key Circle and a renovated four-bedroom house on Beechwood Lake Drive all share one master association, one cable and internet contract and one irrigation system, and they sold as much as $565,000 apart in the same twelve months. A Lakewood seller who prices off the neighborhood median leaves money on the table or sits. We price a Lakewood home against its own section, its own view (operating course, lake, or the closed Evergreen fairways) and its own renovation level, and we pull the village and master estoppel figures before a buyer asks for them. Sellers across the city compare the best real estate agents in Naples before they sign a listing agreement, and this page is our case for Lakewood in particular. You can read more about McGreevy and Comisar and how the team works.
For Lakewood sellers: professional photography, video and drone that show the fairway and lake views buyers pay for, a qualified-buyer database built over two decades, and quiet, off-market options when you want discretion. The most common buyer question in Lakewood right now is what happens to the golf land, and we answer it with the recorded documents and the master association’s own minutes, not rumor.

Lakewood, Naples is a 1970s and 1980s U.S. Home neighborhood of about 1,000 single-family homes, villas and condominiums around a public par 60 course, run by one master association over fourteen neighborhood associations. The eight facts below change a Lakewood buying or selling decision most, each with its source and date.
Living in Lakewood, Naples means an established, non-bundled golf neighborhood of one-story homes, villas and condominiums on mature lakes, about 8 free-flow minutes from Fifth Avenue South, where TV, internet and irrigation water come with the dues and golf is paid by the round at a public course.
Lakewood is one of the older planned neighborhoods in East Naples, and it reads that way: mature trees, curving streets off Lakewood Boulevard, single-story houses built by several builders, and lakes that predate most of what surrounds them. The master association describes it as a place with “a family neighborhood feel” and “a relatively affordable neighborhood with a wide variety of families with children, retirees, and young professionals” (Lakewood Community Services, About). The housing was built “in the late 1970s through the 1980s and many of the homes have been recently renovated,” by “different builders so the community lacks the cookie cutter housing feel” (same page).
The location is the reason many buyers start here. Lakewood has entrances from both Davis Boulevard and Tamiami Trail East, and the master association calls it “only a short (3-4) mile drive from Lakewood to Downtown Naples and the beach” (same page). Our routing from the neighborhood’s center puts Fifth Avenue South at 3.9 road miles and the Naples Pier at 5.1 miles, with NCH Baker Hospital Downtown 4.8 miles away (OSRM free-flow, October 2026).
If you are just starting, our guide to buying a home in Naples covers the steps from pre-approval to the association disclosures Florida requires, and our Naples seller guide covers listing.
A Lakewood day is quiet and practical. Waste Management collects trash, bulk items, yard waste and recycling on Monday and trash again on Thursday in the single-family sections (Lakewood Single Family I FAQ). Lawns are watered with county reuse water on a schedule the master association programs, and the master’s rule is that “All clocks are to remain on standard time only, with no exceptions” (master irrigation rules). The public course opens at 7:00 AM in season and runs until 4:00 PM (Lakewood Country Club events and hours). Burrowing owls nest on the closed Evergreen fairways, and the master association reminds residents that the owls are protected under Florida law (master association news).
Lakewood draws three kinds of buyers. First-time and move-up families buy the single-family homes for the location, the garages and the school assignment. Seasonal and retired buyers buy the villas and condominiums for one-story living near downtown at prices well below the gated golf clubs. Golfers who want a short, inexpensive course without club dues buy because the course is public and pay as you play; the master association puts it plainly: “golf membership is not required to live here unlike the myriad of bundled golf communities which charge steep HOA dues to maintain the golf course” (Lakewood Community Services, About).
Lakewood Boulevard is a public two-lane road, and the 2023 Naples Press coverage describes residents who must back out onto it from their driveways (Naples Press, 2023). No gate or guardhouse is described in any association material we read. The master association works with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office on traffic: its January 2026 minutes record “the targeted speeding enforcement program scheduled to begin this month with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office” (master minutes, January 12, 2026).

The Lakewood market in Naples ran 63 closed sales in the twelve months to August 11, 2026, at a $280,000 median and a $105,000 to $670,000 range, with single-family homes and condominiums sharing one MLS name, villas trading tightly around $305,000, and two adjoining condominiums trading lowest.
Data updated: August 2026
We tracked every Lakewood closing in the Southwest Florida MLS for closed sales from August 11, 2025 to August 11, 2026. The MLS files Lakewood under four names. The largest, LAKEWOOD, mixes the single-family homes with the three Lakewood condominiums, so its range is wide; the extract we hold does not carry property type, so the split waits for the next MLS pull.
Lakewood section (MLS name) | Closed sales | Median sold | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Single-family homes and Lakewood condominiums (LAKEWOOD) | 34 | $295,000 | $108,000 | $670,000 |
Lakewood Villas | 20 | $305,000 | $250,000 | $410,000 |
Boca Ciega Manor (adjoining condominium) | 6 | $215,000 | $180,000 | $265,000 |
Boca Ciega Village (adjoining condominium) | 3 | $147,000 | $105,000 | $155,500 |
All Lakewood | 63 | $280,000 | $105,000 | $670,000 |
Source: Southwest Florida MLS (Matrix), closed sales 08/11/2025 to 08/11/2026, pulled August 11, 2026. One sale carried a special-circumstance flag in the MLS; it is a recorded sale and counts in the totals and medians. Days on market, sale-to-list ratio, price per square foot and active listings are not in the extract we hold and are owed in the next pull.
The 34 LAKEWOOD sales run from $108,000 to $670,000 around a $295,000 median. The low end is the Lakewood condominiums on Boca Ciega Drive, three associations of 78 units each recorded in 1974 and 1980 (DBPR condominium extract). The high end is the renovated single-family homes, one-story, about 1,528 to 2,816 square feet, with attached garages (Lakewood Community Services, About). A seller in either product should not quote the $295,000 median as a value: it averages two different housing types.
The 20 Lakewood Villas sales are the tightest band in the neighborhood, $250,000 to $410,000 around a $305,000 median. The villas sit in nine sections with nine homeowners associations, from Estero Bay Lane near the south entrance to Round Key Circle near Davis Boulevard (Collier address points). Location in the neighborhood, renovation and the view (course, lake or the Evergreen land) drive most of the spread.
Boca Ciega Manor (6 sales, $215,000 median) and Boca Ciega Village (3 sales, $147,000 median, too thin to read as a market rate) are 1980s condominiums on Pine Isle Lane that the MLS files under Lakewood. Each has its own condominium association, and neither appears on the master association’s 2025 to 2026 representative roster (annual meeting minutes, April 15, 2026).
For a Lakewood seller, the numbers say three things. Price against your own product and section, not the neighborhood median. Expect buyers and their lenders to ask about flood insurance, because nearly every Lakewood address is in Zone AE. And expect the golf-land question, because the Evergreen parcel and the closed clubhouse are public stories. A free Lakewood home valuation starts from your own section’s sales; Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a confidential conversation.
Lakewood came to be in 1974, when U.S. Home of Florida, Inc. recorded a master declaration for “The Lakewood Project” in East Naples, created Lakewood Community Services Association to run its common areas, and built single-family homes, villas and condominiums through the 1980s around a golf course that also served as the project’s open space.
The master Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions “for The Lakewood Project” was made “this 20th day of February A.D. 1974, by U. S. HOME OF FLORIDA, INC., a Florida corporation” and executed on February 28, 1974, as read from the recorded copy the master association posts (1974 Declaration). The association’s 1984 by-laws give the recording as “O.R. Book 581, Pages 692 to 702, Public Records of Collier County, Florida” (Amended and Restated By-Laws). The Declaration defines the Lakewood Project as U.S. Home’s development “consisting of condominiums, cluster homes, single family residential properties, public street areas, shopping center and easements and the common areas.” U.S. Home itself was later acquired by Lennar (Wikipedia, Lennar).
The master association was incorporated the same month: Lakewood Community Services Association, Inc. was filed with the Florida Division of Corporations on February 6, 1974, and its last amendment was filed on February 28, 1984 (Sunbiz, Lakewood Community Services Association).
The golf course is part of how Lakewood was approved. A resident leader told the Naples Press in 2023 that “when Lakewood was developed about 50 years ago, the developer, U.S. Homes, wanted to put condos in the area under debate now. The county stopped it … telling them it would leave the neighborhood with no green space. The U.S. Homes solution was to add the golf course” (Naples Press, 2023). That history is why residents treat the course land as part of the neighborhood even though a private owner holds it.
Lakewood’s drainage was settled in court before the first homes closed. The Declaration’s common areas include the “Lakewood Outfall System” described in the December 1973 “Settlement Stipulation and Agreement” in Rutenberg Homes, Inc. vs. Sidney Hubschman, Collier County Civil Case No. 73-379-CA-01, and it states that the outfall “serves not only the Lakewood Project but the adjoining real estate development abutting the Lakewood Project along its westerly boundary known as The Glades” (1974 Declaration). The Glades, the condominium golf club built by the Hubschman family from 1971, is still Lakewood’s western neighbor.
The condominium record dates track the build-out: Lakewood Condo Unit I was recorded on February 6, 1974, Units II and III on January 1, 1980, and the two Boca Ciega condominiums in 1981 and 1982 (DBPR condominium extract). The single-family homes went up from the late 1970s through the 1980s (Lakewood Community Services, About). Lakewood has been built out for decades; every sale today is a resale, and the open questions are about the two golf parcels, not new homes.
Lakewood in Naples is laid out along Lakewood Boulevard, which runs north from Tamiami Trail East toward Davis Boulevard, with single-family sections on Beechwood Lake Drive and its side streets, villa sections off the boulevard and Boca Ciega Drive, three condominiums on Boca Ciega Drive, and two golf parcels: the operating course on the south and the closed Evergreen course on the north.
Collier County’s address layer is the cleanest way to see the plan. It assigns every Lakewood address a subdivision code, and the codes line up with the recorded sections: Lakewood Units 1 to 6 (single-family), Lakewood Villas I to IX, and Lakewood Condo Units I to III (Collier Site Address Points). Across those codes the county shows about 1,000 address points, which reconciles with the 977 homeowners the master association reported in 2014 once the clubhouse and a few Tamiami Trail frontage points are set aside (Naples Daily News, 2014).
The single-family homes fill Lakewood Units 1 to 6. Unit 5 is the largest, on Beechwood Lake Drive North, Landmark Drive, Chippendale Drive, Debron Drive, Dent Drive, Pine Lake Drive, Short Court and Payne Court; Unit 4 is on Beechwood Lake Drive, Whitewater Way and Long Key Court; Unit 1 runs along Lakewood Boulevard, Eagle Key Circle and Marathon Court; Unit 3 is on Beechwood Lake Drive (Collier address points). The master association describes them as “2 to 4 bedroom one-story homes” of roughly “1528 to 2816 square feet,” every one with an attached garage (Lakewood Community Services, About).
Nine villa sections sit between the single-family streets and the condominiums: Villas I on Estero Bay Lane and Lakewood Boulevard, Villas II on Lakewood Boulevard, Villas III, IV and V on Boca Ciega Drive, Villas VI on Reynolds Court, Charity Court and Glades Boulevard, Villas VII and VIII on Round Key Circle, and Villas IX on Lakewood and Glades Boulevards (Collier address points). Each has its own homeowners association and its own seat at the master.
Lakewood Condo Units I, II and III are three 78-unit condominiums at 3645, 3655 and 3605 to 3615 Boca Ciega Drive, recorded in 1974 and 1980 (DBPR condominium extract). Just east on Pine Isle Lane are Boca Ciega Village (90 units, 1981) and Boca Ciega Manor (90 units, 1982), condominiums the MLS files under Lakewood but which run their own associations outside the master’s roster (same extract; annual meeting minutes, April 15, 2026).
Two privately owned golf parcels shape the plan. The operating Lakewood Country Club course, at 4235 Lakewood Boulevard, is laid out on a 52-acre parcel (course page). The Evergreen parcel, formerly the Ironwood and then the Evergreen Golf and Country Club, is a 34-acre property “on either side of the northern part of Lakewood Boulevard, just south of Davis Boulevard,” which did not open for the 2013 to 2014 season and has stayed closed (Naples Daily News, 2014). Neither parcel belongs to the master association. Collier’s PUD layer shows no planned unit development named Lakewood, which fits a neighborhood that predates PUD zoning (Collier PUD layer).
Lakewood in Naples is run by two layers: Lakewood Community Services Association, the 1974 master association whose members are representatives of each neighborhood association, and the fourteen neighborhood associations themselves, two single-family HOAs, nine villa HOAs and three condominium associations, each with its own board, budget and manager.
The Declaration makes each neighborhood association, not each owner, a member of the master: “Each Condominium Association and each Homeowners Association which has been formed for the purpose of providing operational, maintenance and/or management functions … shall, by resolution of its Board of Directors, designate a member-representative for membership” (1974 Declaration). The master is an active Florida not-for-profit corporation managed by Newell Property Management at 5435 Jaeger Road, Suite 4, Naples (Sunbiz; master contact page).
For 2025 to 2026 the master’s annual meeting named representatives for Villas 1 through 9, Condos 1 through 3, Single Family 1 and Single Family 2: fourteen seats (annual meeting minutes, April 15, 2026; April 15, 2025). In 2014 the master described itself as representing 13 associations (Naples Daily News, 2014).
The master’s own list of management companies: Single Family 1, Cambridge; Single Family 2, Resort; Villas 1, Guardian; Villas 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8, Newell; Villas 5, Allian; Villas 9, self-managed; Condos 1, Newell; Condos 2, Home River (master board and management page). A buyer needs both the village manager and the master manager for estoppel figures at closing.
The Declaration runs “for a term of fifty (50) years from the date this Declaration is recorded, after which time said covenants shall be automatically extended for successive periods of ten (10) years,” unless owners of two thirds of the lots and living units record a change (1974 Declaration). Recorded in 1974, the covenants rolled into their first ten-year extension in 2024. Assessments are a lien on the home and the owner’s personal obligation, and the lien is subordinate to a first mortgage for amounts that came due before a foreclosure sale (same document, Article IV).
The master depends on the villages to collect and pay. Its January 2026 minutes record that “Lakewood Villas 7 is currently delinquent,” with payment expected after the village’s manager worked through staffing problems (master minutes, January 12, 2026). For a buyer, that is a reason to read the village’s financial statements as well as the master’s.

The fee stack in Lakewood, Naples has two required layers, the master association’s share and the neighborhood association’s own dues, plus optional golf and boat storage; there is no community development district, and neither the master nor the villages publish per-home dollar amounts online, so the estoppel letter is the only exact figure.
Layer | Amount | Period | What it covers | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Lakewood Community Services (master) | 2025 budget $1,475,658.44; per-home share not published | annual budget, billed through each neighborhood association | Blue Stream TV and internet, reuse-water irrigation to each timer, lakes, entrances, common drainage | |
Neighborhood association (Single Family 1 or 2, Villas 1 to 9) | not published | Single Family I bills quarterly (Jan 1, Apr 1, Jul 1, Oct 1) | the village budget plus its share of the master | |
Condominium association (Condos 1 to 3; Boca Ciega Village and Manor) | not published | per association | building insurance, reserves, exterior | DBPR condominium extract |
Capital contribution on resale | none at the master; villages may adopt one | per sale | ||
Boat storage (optional) | $750 | 6 months | one boat and trailer space | |
Golf (optional) | pay as you play; seasonal passes | per round or pass | public par 60 course | |
Community development district | none | Collier CDD layer |
The master does not publish a per-home figure, so here is our arithmetic, not a fee: $1,475,658.44 divided by the 977 homeowners the master reported in 2014 is about $1,510 a year, or about $126 a month per home. The true allocation varies by product and is set in each village’s budget; the estoppel letter at closing is the only exact number.
The single-family association lists what its owners get: Blue Stream Fiber cable and internet “included in your dues,” hundreds of channels, online DVR, three small cable boxes, premium sports channels, fiber internet with “speeds of 600 mb download and upload” and a Plume mesh Wi-Fi system with two pods (Lakewood Single Family I FAQ). Blue Stream’s own Lakewood page lists “200+ Channels and 5 Concurrent Streams” and internet “Up to 600 Mbps” both ways (Blue Stream Fiber, Lakewood Community Association). The master supplies irrigation water from the county’s reuse system “up to the clock (timer) controlled valve of each condo, villa and single family home” (master irrigation rules).
The master runs a storage yard for residents’ boats. Spaces require a Lakewood address on the driver’s license and on the boat and trailer registrations; “The rental fee is $750 for a 6-month period”; one space per person; and “As of March 2025, there are 19 individuals on the waiting list.” Existing motorhome and camper leases are grandfathered, but no new non-boat leases are issued (master boat storage page).
In August 2025 the master board heard a proposal for “a potential capital contribution (joining) fee” and “It was recommended that sub-associations implement this fee individually at their discretion” (master minutes, August 19, 2025). Whether a particular village charges one is a question for that village’s documents and the estoppel letter.
Village dues, condominium assessments, per-home master shares and any open special assessment are not published on the associations’ public pages. They appear on the estoppel certificates ordered during a sale. In Collier County the buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title insurance policy; the contract controls.
Lakewood in Naples holds fourteen member associations across three products, single-family homes in Units 1 to 6, attached villas in nine sections and three condominiums, with two more condominiums, Boca Ciega Village and Boca Ciega Manor, filed under Lakewood by the MLS but governed separately.
The single-family homes are governed by two homeowners associations, Single Family 1 (managed by Cambridge) and Single Family 2 (managed by Resort) (master management list). Single Family I publishes its rules and FAQ online: architectural approval before any exterior change, no parking on lawns, yard lights kept working because they substitute for county street lights, and rentals allowed with rules (Single Family I FAQ; Do’s and Don’ts). About 390 county address points sit in the single-family codes.
Villas I is one of the southern villa sections, on Estero Bay Lane and Lakewood Boulevard near the Tamiami Trail entrance, with about 72 address points, managed by Guardian (Collier address points; master management list). The master reviewed a $30,000 bid in August 2025 to clean the drainage lines behind Villas 1 (master minutes, August 19, 2025).
Villas II sits on Lakewood Boulevard with about 28 address points and is managed by Newell (county address points; master management list).
Villas III is on Boca Ciega Drive with about 36 address points, managed by Newell (county address points; master management list).
Villas IV is on Boca Ciega Drive with about 66 address points, managed by Newell; its association was among the fourteen that organized against the golf-parcel proposals in 2023 (Naples Press, 2023).
Villas V is on Boca Ciega Drive with about 36 address points, managed by Allian. One sampled Villas V address maps FEMA Zone AE with a 7 foot base flood elevation, the only AE 7 reading in our 60-point Lakewood sample (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer point queries; county address points).
Villas VI sits on Reynolds Court, Charity Court, Lakewood Boulevard and Glades Boulevard with about 46 address points, managed by Newell. Its homes back onto the closed Evergreen land on the north end (county address points; Naples Press, 2023).
Villas VII sits on Round Key Circle and Lakewood Boulevard with about 44 address points, managed by Newell (county address points; master management list).
Villas VIII sits on Round Key Circle and Lakewood Boulevard with about 32 address points, managed by Newell (county address points; master management list).
Villas IX is the smallest villa section, about 16 address points on Lakewood and Glades Boulevards, and the only self-managed section on the master’s list (master management list).
The three Lakewood condominiums on Boca Ciega Drive hold 234 units, 78 each: Unit I recorded February 6, 1974, Units II and III January 1, 1980 (DBPR condominium extract). They are Chapter 718 condominiums with their own boards; Condos 1 is managed by Newell and Condos 2 by Home River (master management list). Florida’s milestone inspection law applies to condominium buildings of three stories or more (Florida Statutes 553.899); ask each association for its building heights, inspection status and structural integrity reserve study (Florida Statutes 718.112).
Boca Ciega Village #1 is a 90-unit condominium recorded on March 18, 1981, on Pine Isle Lane, managed through Newell Property Management on the state’s condominium list (DBPR condominium extract). We tracked three sales at a $147,000 median, too thin to read as a market rate (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026).
Boca Ciega Manor is a 90-unit condominium recorded on February 22, 1982, on Pine Isle Lane, with its own association, Boca Ciega Manor Condo Assoc Inc (DBPR condominium extract). We tracked six sales at a $215,000 median, from $180,000 to $265,000 (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). Its sampled addresses are zoned to Lely Elementary rather than Shadowlawn (Collier County Public Schools lookup, 2036 Pine Isle Ln).
Golf at Lakewood Country Club in Naples is a public, 18-hole, par 60 executive course of 3,161 yards from the back tees, rated 58.1 with a slope of 93, laid out on a 52-acre parcel with water on 14 holes; Lakewood owners pay by the round or buy a seasonal pass, because membership is not part of the dues.
The club calls itself “Open to the Public, Lakewood Country Club is a 3,200 yard, par 60 Executive Course, where guests can enjoy outstanding service and 18 holes of relaxing and fun golf” (Lakewood Country Club). The address is 4235 Lakewood Boulevard, Naples 34112 (club contact page).
The published scorecard sets par at 60: front nine 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 3, 4 and back nine 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 3, 4, 4. The back tees play 3,161 yards with a 58.1 rating and a 93 slope; the front tees play 2,862 yards at 56.3 and 91. The longest hole is the 302-yard eighteenth from the white tees (course and scorecard). The course page describes “Bermuda fairways and Tifdarf Bermuda greens … built to USGA specifications” and “Water exists on 14 holes, most greens are elevated,” and the card’s summary line lists 22 bunkers and 5 lakes, with an estimated round of “3 hours 20 min or less” (same page).
Tees | Yards | Rating | Slope | Par |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Back | 3,161 | 58.1 | 93 | 60 |
Front | 2,862 | 56.3 | 91 | 60 |
There is no initiation and no required membership. The club sells a 6-Month Seasonal Golf Pass, “available from November 1st through April 30th” in single and couple pricing, with “unlimited golf, and only pay a cart fee each time you play,” and a 3-Month Seasonal Golf Pass valid January 1, 2027 to March 31, 2027, with or without cart fees (seasonal passes). Daily tee times book online through GolfNow, kids under 16 play free with a paying adult after 3:00 PM, there is a first-responder rate with ID, and rental clubs are available (tee times; golf specials). Leagues and outings are booked through the shop (leagues; outings).
The practice area has “a large putting green, a chipping green, a pitching green and a practice bunker,” plus “A hitting net with two grass mats”; there is no full-length range (practice facility). For a Lakewood golfer that makes the course a short-game course; the club itself says residents hone their skills at Lakewood and use them “on regulation courses” (course page).
The course and clubhouse parcel belongs to a private company, SWDL Golf Holdings LLC, as county records were reported in 2023 (Naples Press, 2023). The single-family association reported in March 2025 that “The golf course is net positive cash flow, and the owner has plans to keep it open as it is today” (Single Family I news, March 20, 2025). The master association does not own or run the course.
The amenity side of the club has wound down. The master posted on October 27, 2024 that “The owner of Lakewood has decided not to renew the lease on the swimming pool due to several issues, primarily the pool’s deteriorating condition and safety concerns” and that “The pool’s last day of operation will be Thursday, October 31st” (pool closing notice). Its November 2024 minutes add that “The pool, clubhouse and tennis court is not going to be transferred to Lakewood Community Association” (master minutes, November 1, 2024). The golf shop and course stay open.

The Evergreen course in Lakewood, Naples is a closed 34-acre golf property on both sides of northern Lakewood Boulevard, formerly the Ironwood and then the Evergreen Golf and Country Club, that has not operated since about 2014, sold in 2021 for $720,000, and remains privately owned with no approved redevelopment plan on record.
In 2014 the Naples Daily News described Evergreen as “One of Collier County’s few public and par-3 courses,” on “the 34-acre property located on either side of the northern part of Lakewood Boulevard, just south of Davis Boulevard,” with “a 4,200-square-foot clubhouse at 4710 Lakewood Blvd. with restaurant and bar space,” built in 1980; it had not opened for the season and the master association had paid to clear its lakes (Naples Daily News, 2014).
The property was sold on July 2, 2021, to BH Naples Investments LLC Holdings LLC for $720,000, and in 2022 residents saw options for “200 to 300 condo units, and possibly a site for assisted living” at stakeholder meetings (Naples Press, 2023). The county later “forced the owner to install new windows in the old club house and to remove the boarding” (Single Family I news, March 20, 2025).
The Evergreen lakes are shared drainage. In 2024 the master “currently maintains 6 lakes, however they are only responsible for 2 lakes,” absorbing Evergreen’s share, and in February 2025 it voted to file a lien against Evergreen for that cost (annual meeting minutes, April 25, 2024; master minutes, February 11, 2025).
Lakewood in Naples has no community tennis, pickleball, pool, fitness center or restaurant open today: the master association owns none of them, and the course owner closed the pool on October 31, 2024 and shut the clubhouse and tennis court. Residents use the public course, the lakes and nearby county parks instead.
The nearest county recreation is close. Sugden Regional Park and Lake Avalon sit about 0.6 miles from Lakewood’s center and East Naples Community Park about 1.2 miles, measured edge to edge on Collier’s PUD layer (Collier PUD layer). For a buyer who wants a resort-style amenity center, that absence is the trade for Lakewood’s lower costs.
Boating in Lakewood, Naples means a resident boat-storage yard, not a marina: the master association rents boat and trailer spaces for $750 per six months to residents with a Lakewood address, with a waiting list of 19 in March 2025, and the nearest county ramp at Collier Boulevard Boating Park is about 11.4 road miles away.
The lakes inside Lakewood are stormwater lakes, not navigable water. Our routing puts Collier Boulevard Boating Park at 11.4 road miles and Rookery Bay’s Environmental Learning Center at 6.8 miles (OSRM free-flow, October 2026). The storage rules are on the master boat storage page.
Lakewood in Naples sits in FEMA’s AE coastal floodplain but in evacuation Zone C, inland of the first evacuation waves; its recent storm record in association documents is about drainage and irrigation, with Milton in 2024 disrupting the reuse-water system and a 2025 drainage-line cleaning bid of $30,000 behind one villa section.
Hurricane Ian, on September 28, 2022, pushed maximum inundation of 6 to 9 feet above ground level in the Naples area, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC Tropical Cyclone Report, Ian). Irma crossed Collier County in 2017 (Wikipedia, Hurricane Irma). After Hurricane Milton in October 2024 the master scheduled its “five year affluent cross check,” a test that the reuse irrigation system is not connected to drinking water, and a check of every timer (master minutes, November 1, 2024). We found no public record of water inside Lakewood homes in these storms; ask each seller for a written flood history.
Lakewood drains through the Lakewood Outfall System written into the 1974 Declaration, which also serves The Glades (1974 Declaration). The neighborhood sits in Collier’s Haldeman Creek Basin, with an allowable discharge of 0.15 cubic feet per second per acre (Collier basins layer). In 2025 the master reviewed “a bid in the amount of $30,000 to clean the drainage lines behind Villas 1” (master minutes, August 19, 2025).
Collier’s Florida Building Code wind layers put Lakewood’s design wind speed at 151 mph for Risk Category I, 165 mph for Risk Category II (most homes), 178 mph for III and 186 mph for IV (Collier FBC 8th Edition wind layers). The homes date from the 1970s and 1980s, before the 2002 statewide code; a wind mitigation inspection tells a buyer which features, such as roof-to-wall connections and opening protection, earn insurance credits.
The master hires lake contractors itself, and in 2025 it engaged Advanced Aquatics after the prior firm stopped servicing the lakes, covering the cost (master minutes, August 19, 2025). Well-kept lakes are part of storm readiness in a neighborhood with 57 of 60 sampled addresses in Zone AE.
FEMA flood zones in Lakewood, Naples are almost uniform: 57 of the 60 addresses we tested across every section are Zone AE with an 8 foot base flood elevation, one Villas V address is AE 7 feet, and two returned no flood polygon, on panels 12021C0394J, 0582J and 0601J effective February 8, 2024.
Section | Addresses tested | Effective zone | Panel(s) | Evacuation zone |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Lakewood Unit 5 (single-family) | 14 | AE 8 ft | 12021C0394J | C |
Lakewood Unit 1 (single-family) | 9 | AE 8 ft | 12021C0394J, 0582J | C |
Lakewood Units 2, 3, 4 and 6 (single-family) | 8 | AE 8 ft | 12021C0394J, 0582J | C |
Lakewood Villas I to IX | 22 | AE 8 ft (one AE 7 ft in Villas V; one no polygon in Villas II) | 12021C0394J, 0582J | C |
Lakewood Condo I to III | 3 | AE 8 ft | 12021C0582J | C |
Boca Ciega Manor and Village | 4 | AE 8 ft (one no polygon) | 12021C0601J | C |
Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer point queries for 60 Collier address points, October 2026, for example 4626 Lakewood Blvd, 3556 Boca Ciega Dr, 4433 Lakewood Blvd, 2036 Pine Isle Ln, 4561 Beechwood Lake Dr N and 217 Dent Dr; evacuation zones from Collier’s hurricane evacuation layer and Florida’s Know Your Zone. None of the 60 points falls in the Coastal High Hazard Area.
Three panels cover Lakewood: 12021C0394J (32 sampled points, the north and central sections), 12021C0582J (22 points, the south sections near Tamiami Trail) and 12021C0601J (4 points, the Boca Ciega condominiums), all effective February 8, 2024. Collier’s own flood layer at the neighborhood’s center reads “COASTAL FLOODPLAIN,” static base flood elevation 8 (Collier FEMA24 layer).
FEMA’s preliminary flood map for Collier, on K-suffix panels 12021C0394K, 0582K and 0601K, shows the same AE 8 foot reading at the sampled points (FEMA Preliminary NFHL). Collier opened the 90-day appeal period on August 19, 2026 (Collier County, proposed flood map notice).
Collier’s elevation-certificate library holds 151 certificates in and around the Lakewood footprint, including some for neighboring properties along Tamiami Trail and The Glades (Collier elevation certificates). A certificate compares a home’s finished floor to the base flood elevation and drives the flood premium; ask the seller for one, or order one before you bind insurance.
Insurance in Lakewood, Naples starts with flood: nearly every address is FEMA Zone AE, so a lender will require flood coverage, priced by the home’s elevation certificate; wind coverage depends on a 1970s or 1980s home’s roof, openings and mitigation features, and condominium owners also need the association’s master policy details.
A federally backed mortgage on a home in Zone AE requires flood insurance. Unincorporated Collier County is a Community Rating System Class 5 community, which lowers National Flood Insurance Program premiums for policies in the special flood hazard area (Collier County Floodplain Management). The elevation certificate and the age of the home matter most to the premium.
Florida’s market has shifted back toward private carriers: Citizens Property Insurance expected its policy count to fall to 385,000 by the end of 2025, down 73 percent from its October 2023 peak (Citizens, December 2025). For Lakewood’s older homes, a current roof and a wind mitigation report are the biggest levers.
Buyers in Lakewood Condo I to III and the Boca Ciega condominiums should ask each association for its master policy, its flood coverage, its milestone inspection status if any building is three stories or more, and its structural integrity reserve study (Florida Statutes 553.899; Florida Statutes 718.112).

The district earned an A for 2025 to 2026, its ninth consecutive A, ranking sixth of 67 Florida districts, according to the same grades document. Lely High is about 4.7 road miles from Lakewood’s center (OSRM free-flow, October 2026).
Healthcare near Lakewood, Naples is close in both directions: NCH Baker Hospital Downtown is about 4.8 road miles away and Physicians Regional Medical Center on Collier Boulevard about 5.6 miles, with the NCH Healthcare Southeast campus on Collier Boulevard about 5.7 miles, by free-flow routing from the neighborhood’s center.
The master association names Physicians Regional Medical Center among Lakewood’s easy commutes (Lakewood Community Services, About). Our routing puts Physicians Regional Medical Center Pine Ridge at 8.5 miles and NCH North Naples Hospital at 12.6 miles (OSRM free-flow, October 2026). The Collier Boulevard campus is described on Physicians Regional’s location page.

What is being proposed near Lakewood, Naples centers on its two golf parcels: condominium and assisted-living ideas for the closed Evergreen course were shown in 2022, a nonprofit center for the Lakewood Country Club clubhouse site was proposed in 2023 and withdrawn in 2024, and no rezoning of either parcel is approved; the rest of the surrounding area is built out.
The Naples Press reported in 2023 that the Evergreen property’s “Hollywood-based owner is proposing multi-story condo buildings and an assisted living facility, to be sandwiched between condos and villas on Lakewood on one side, and on Palm Drive on the other,” and that residents estimated about 2,000 added vehicles on Lakewood Boulevard (Naples Press, 2023). We found no filed rezoning petition for the property in the records we reviewed; a buyer near the Evergreen fairways should check Collier’s petition records before closing.
The master association tried to buy the land. In July 2024 its board approved “the drafting and sending of a letter of intent to purchase for $1,000,000.00 to Evergreen Golf Course” (master minutes, July 12, 2024), and the owner countered at “1,500,000.00 with no contingencies and an expedited closing schedule” (master minutes, August 26, 2024). A Municipal Service Taxing Unit to fund a purchase was estimated at “about $24.00 per month per unit” (annual meeting minutes, April 25, 2024); the single-family association wrote that it would need “a 50% +1 vote” and raise property taxes “by at least $125/year” (Single Family I news, March 20, 2025). In April 2025 the master recorded “the MSTU, which the association is not pursuing” (annual meeting minutes, April 15, 2025).
In 2023 the nonprofit STARability sought county approval for a 30,000-square-foot building on the Lakewood Country Club clubhouse site, which residents opposed over traffic and flooding (Naples Daily News, April 18, 2023). The master association reported that STARability “found their new home in North Naples” in March 2024 (master association news); STARability acquired a campus at 2655 Northbrook Drive, Naples 34119 (STARability).
Collier County “developed ‘intent to convert’ regulations for changing a golf course into some other form of use in 2013 and updated it several years ago,” the Naples Press reported, and the county’s zoning director advised residents to use professional planners and to attend every neighborhood information meeting and hearing (Naples Press, 2023). The master hired a land-use attorney in July 2024 to represent it on the Land Development Code drafting (master minutes, July 12, 2024).
Lakewood is not alone. A rezoning proposal for the Riviera golf course, about 0.85 miles away, sought “346 new single-family attached villa homes” and drew organized opposition (Gulfshore Business). Older East Naples golf neighborhoods face the same question; the answer turns on each parcel’s zoning and on public hearings.

A Collier County lift station project inside Lakewood was expected to finish about a month after August 19, 2025 (master minutes, August 19, 2025). Around Lakewood the county’s PUD layer shows mostly built-out neighbors: Kings Lake 0.12 miles away, Lago Verde 0.25 miles, the active 8.2-acre Vornado PUD 0.29 miles, Lake Avalon and Sugden Regional Park 0.6 miles, the Collier County Government Complex 0.62 miles and Winter Park 0.95 miles (Collier PUD layer).
Rules in Lakewood, Naples are set village by village under the 1974 master Declaration: the single-family association publishes its rules (architectural approval, no lawn parking, no yard signs, leashed pets, rentals allowed with conditions), while lease minimums, pet limits and renovation rules for each villa and condominium section are in that section’s own recorded documents.
The single-family association allows rentals “with additional rules that must be followed PRIOR to the tenant moving in,” and states that “you cannot under any circumstances” rent a room or rent the house “to more than one family unit”; tenants must follow all by-laws, and owners are responsible for them (Single Family I, Do’s and Don’ts). Minimum lease terms for the villas and condominiums are in each association’s Declaration and Rules.
Pets must be leashed, under both county ordinance and the single-family by-laws, and owners must pick up after them in their own yards too (Single Family I, Do’s and Don’ts). Dogs may not be walked on the golf course, which the association describes as private property (Single Family I FAQ). Pet number and size limits, if any, are set in each village’s documents.
Yard signs are not allowed in the single-family association, “This means NO political signs as well”; vehicles may never be parked on lawns, and cars not in the driveway cannot stay overnight; and every home must keep a working yard light, because the yard lights stand in for county street lights (Single Family I, Do’s and Don’ts; Single Family I FAQ).
Any exterior change needs the “Building and Exterior Change Request form” approved first, and replacement mailboxes must match the standard in the by-laws (Single Family I FAQ; mailbox note).
Owners may not reset the irrigation timers. The master programs every clock, and “The pumps can only handle a certain number of homes at a time” (Single Family I FAQ; master irrigation rules).
Lakewood vs Kings Lake is the natural East Naples cross-shop: both are 1970s to 1990s neighborhoods of about 1,000 to 1,200 homes under one master association off Davis Boulevard, 0.12 miles apart, but Lakewood is built around a public golf course with bulk fiber in the dues, while Kings Lake has no golf course and a Publix inside its boundary.

Choose Lakewood if you want a golf view without club dues, fiber TV and internet already in the fees, one-story single-family homes with garages, and a neighborhood that has organized around its open space for decades. Accept the open questions about the Evergreen parcel and the closed pool and clubhouse.
Choose Kings Lake if you want a very low master fee, a grocery store you can walk to and no golf-land questions at all, and you do not need a course. For a third comparison in a similar East Naples price band, see Naples Lakes Country Club, or for a resort-scale golf community, Lely Resort.
The pros and cons of Lakewood in Naples come down to location and low-friction golf against older housing, flood-zone insurance and uncertainty about two golf parcels: it is about 8 minutes from Fifth Avenue South with pay-as-you-play golf and fiber in the dues, but nearly every address is Zone AE and the pool and clubhouse are closed.

If you’re searching for the best Lakewood listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need to sell my house in Lakewood’, McGreevy and Comisar price your home against its own section, view and renovation, explain the flood and golf-land questions to buyers with recorded documents, and market it to the buyers Lakewood actually attracts: families, seasonal owners and golfers.
Lakewood, last 12 months: we tracked 63 closings at a $280,000 median, from $105,000 to $670,000, $19,043,500 in volume (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026). Villas traded at a $305,000 median across 20 sales.

Start with a free Lakewood home valuation. We compare your home with sales in its own section and product, not the neighborhood median, and we account for view and renovation.

Price against your own product and section. The 34 sales under the main Lakewood MLS name mix single-family homes and condominiums, $108,000 to $670,000, so a $295,000 median means little for either. Villas ran $250,000 to $410,000 (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026).
It can. A resident leader told the Naples Press in 2023 that two buyers had backed out over the uncertainty (Naples Press, 2023). We answer it with the record: the parcel is privately owned, no rezoning is approved, and the residents’ purchase effort ended in 2025.
Nearly every Lakewood address is FEMA Zone AE with an 8 foot base flood elevation (FEMA NFHL, panels effective February 8, 2024). An elevation certificate and your flood policy declarations page help buyers price insurance before they write an offer.
Order estoppel certificates from your village or condominium association and from the master. They state dues, any special assessment and any capital contribution the village charges. Florida law requires them on request.
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays for the owner’s title insurance policy; the contract controls. Sellers pay their own agent’s commission as agreed, documentary stamp tax on the deed, and any payoff.
Naples demand peaks with the winter season, when seasonal buyers are in town; the golf course is busiest from November through April. We time the launch to your goals.

Lakewood is in East Naples, ZIP 34112, just east of Airport Road, with entrances from both Davis Boulevard and Tamiami Trail East (Lakewood Community Services, About). Its main street is Lakewood Boulevard. It is about 3.9 road miles from Fifth Avenue South and 5.1 miles from the Naples Pier by free-flow routing (OSRM, October 2026). It is not Lakewood Ranch, which is in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
U.S. Home of Florida, Inc. built Lakewood under a master declaration made in February 1974 and recorded at O.R. Book 581, Pages 692 to 702 in Collier County (1974 Declaration; By-Laws). Several builders built the single-family homes from the late 1970s through the 1980s, and U.S. Home was later acquired by Lennar.
About 1,000. In 2014 the master association said it represented 977 homeowners (Naples Daily News, 2014), and Collier County’s address layer shows about 1,000 address points across the Lakewood single-family, villa and condominium codes. Two adjoining condominiums on Pine Isle Lane, Boca Ciega Village and Boca Ciega Manor, add 180 units under their own associations (DBPR condominium extract).
Three kinds: one-story single-family homes with attached garages, about 1,528 to 2,816 square feet; attached villas in nine sections; and condominiums, including the three 78-unit Lakewood condominiums on Boca Ciega Drive (Lakewood Community Services, About; DBPR condominium extract). Many single-family homes have been renovated since they were built in the late 1970s and 1980s.
No gate or guardhouse is described in any Lakewood association material we read, and Lakewood Boulevard is a public two-lane road residents back out onto (Naples Press, 2023). The master association works with the Collier County Sheriff’s Office on traffic enforcement, including a targeted speeding program that began in January 2026 (master minutes, January 12, 2026).
Yes. “Open to the Public, Lakewood Country Club is a 3,200 yard, par 60 Executive Course” (Lakewood Country Club). Anyone can book a tee time, online through GolfNow or by calling the golf shop. Lakewood residents get no automatic membership; they pay by the round or buy a seasonal pass.
No. The master association calls Lakewood “a pay as you golf community, golf membership is not required to live here unlike the myriad of bundled golf communities which charge steep HOA dues to maintain the golf course” (Lakewood Community Services, About). Golf is optional and paid separately.
The back tees play 3,161 yards with a 58.1 rating and a 93 slope, and the front tees 2,862 yards at 56.3 and 91; par is 60 (course and scorecard). The club estimates a round at 3 hours 20 minutes or less. Water comes into play on 14 holes.
No full-length range. The practice area has a large putting green, a chipping green, a pitching green, a practice bunker and “A hitting net with two grass mats” (practice facility). Golfers who want a full range use other Naples courses.
Yes. A 6-Month Seasonal Golf Pass runs November 1 to April 30 in single and couple pricing with unlimited golf and a cart fee per round, and a 3-Month Seasonal Golf Pass runs January 1, 2027 to March 31, 2027, with or without cart fees (seasonal passes). Prices are quoted by the golf shop.
A private company, SWDL Golf Holdings LLC, as county records were reported in 2023 (Naples Press, 2023). The master association does not own it. The single-family association reported in March 2025 that the course is cash-flow positive and the owner plans to keep it open (Single Family I news).
No. The course owner did not renew the pool lease, citing the pool’s condition and safety, and “The pool’s last day of operation will be Thursday, October 31st,” in 2024 (pool closing notice). The master recorded that the pool, clubhouse and tennis court would not be transferred to the community (master minutes, November 1, 2024).
Not open to residents today. The clubhouse and tennis court at Lakewood Country Club are shut (Naples Press, 2023). Sugden Regional Park sits about 0.6 miles away and East Naples Community Park about 1.2 miles, by Collier’s PUD layer.
Evergreen, a public par 3 course on 34 acres on both sides of northern Lakewood Boulevard, closed by 2014 (Naples Daily News, 2014). It sold on July 2, 2021 for $720,000, and condominium and assisted-living options were shown to residents in 2022 (Naples Press, 2023). No rezoning is approved in the records we reviewed.
Yes. In July 2024 the master association sent a letter of intent to buy for $1,000,000 (master minutes, July 12, 2024); the owner countered at $1,500,000 with no contingencies (August 26, 2024). A taxing-unit funding plan was dropped in April 2025.
It is the master association created with the 1974 Declaration and filed with the state on February 6, 1974 (Sunbiz). Its members are representatives of each neighborhood association. It runs irrigation, the lakes, the entrances and the bulk cable contract, and is managed by Newell Property Management (master contact page).
Fourteen are represented at the master for 2025 to 2026: Villas 1 to 9, Condos 1 to 3, Single Family 1 and Single Family 2 (annual meeting minutes, April 15, 2026). Every Lakewood home belongs to one of them and, through it, to the master.
The associations do not publish per-home dues online. The master adopted a 2025 budget of $1,475,658.44 (master minutes, November 1, 2024); spread over 977 homes, our arithmetic gives about $1,510 a year, but that is not a billed figure. Village dues come on top and vary by section; the estoppel letter states the exact amount.
Blue Stream Fiber TV and internet are “included in your dues,” with internet up to 600 Mbps download and upload (Single Family I FAQ; Blue Stream). The master also supplies reuse-water irrigation to every home’s timer and maintains the lakes and entrances (master irrigation rules). Each village’s dues add its own costs.
No. Collier County’s community development district layer shows no district at Lakewood, and there is no CDD line on a Lakewood tax bill (Collier CDD layer). Lakewood’s shared costs run through the master association and the neighborhood associations instead.
Not at the master level. In August 2025 the master recommended that “sub-associations implement this fee individually at their discretion” (master minutes, August 19, 2025). Check the specific village’s documents and the estoppel letter for any joining fee.
In Single Family I, yes, with rules to follow before the tenant moves in; renting a room, or renting to more than one family unit, is not allowed (Single Family I, Do’s and Don’ts). Lease minimums for the villas and condominiums are set in each association’s recorded Declaration and Rules.
Yes, with leash and waste rules under county ordinance and the single-family by-laws (Single Family I, Do’s and Don’ts). Dogs may not be walked on the golf course, which is private property (Single Family I FAQ). Pet limits in each villa and condominium section are set by that section’s documents.
Boat storage, yes: $750 per six months for residents with a Lakewood address on license and registrations, one space each, with 19 on the waiting list in March 2025 (master boat storage page). Existing motorhome and camper leases are grandfathered, but no new non-boat leases are issued.
Yes. 57 of the 60 Lakewood addresses we tested are FEMA Zone AE with an 8 foot base flood elevation, one is AE 7 feet and two returned no flood polygon, on panels 12021C0394J, 0582J and 0601J effective February 8, 2024 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer). A lender will require flood insurance on a mortgaged home in Zone AE.
Zone C, at all 60 addresses we tested on Collier’s evacuation layer (Florida Know Your Zone). None of them is in the Coastal High Hazard Area. Zone C is ordered out after Zones A and B in a major storm, so follow the county’s orders for your exact address.
At the 60 addresses we tested, FEMA’s preliminary map shows the same AE reading on new K-suffix panels (FEMA Preliminary NFHL). Collier opened a 90-day appeal period on August 19, 2026 (Collier County notice). Check your own address before closing.
Every Lakewood master-association address we tested is zoned to Shadowlawn Elementary, East Naples Middle and Lely High; the sampled Boca Ciega Manor addresses go to Lely Elementary (Collier County Public Schools lookup). Shadowlawn, Lely Elementary and East Naples Middle earned an A for 2025 to 2026, and Lely High a B (district grades).
The Naples Pier is about 5.1 road miles and 12 free-flow minutes from Lakewood’s center, and Tigertail Beach on Marco Island about 15.6 miles and 30 minutes (OSRM, October 2026). Season traffic on US-41 adds time.
Southwest Florida International Airport is about 35.4 road miles and 50 free-flow minutes from Lakewood by OSRM routing; I-75 at Exit 101 is about 5.5 miles away.
NCH Baker Hospital Downtown is about 4.8 road miles away and Physicians Regional Medical Center on Collier Boulevard about 5.6 miles (OSRM, October 2026; Physicians Regional, Collier Boulevard). The master association lists Physicians Regional among Lakewood’s easy commutes.
We tracked 63 Lakewood sales at a $280,000 median, from $105,000 to $670,000, in the twelve months to August 11, 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS). Villas ran a $305,000 median across 20 sales; the main Lakewood MLS name, which mixes single-family homes and condominiums, ran $295,000 across 34 sales.
They are adjoining condominiums on Pine Isle Lane that the MLS files under Lakewood, but each has its own association, and neither sits on the master association’s 2025 to 2026 roster (annual meeting minutes, April 15, 2026; DBPR condominium extract). Read each one’s own documents.
No. Kings Lake is a separate neighborhood about 0.12 miles away, with its own master association, no golf course and a Publix inside its boundary. The two are often cross-shopped because they share the same East Naples location and era.
From Collier County’s reuse system: “Lakewood’s primary source of water for irrigation is provided by Collier County Reuse Department,” and the master supplies it to each home’s timer (master irrigation rules). The master programs the timers, and owners may not change them.
They do not simply expire. The Declaration ran 50 years from its 1974 recording and then renews automatically for ten-year periods unless owners of two thirds of the lots and living units record a change (1974 Declaration). The first extension began in 2024.
For buyers who want a central East Naples location, one-story homes, optional golf and fiber in the fees at a $280,000 neighborhood median, Lakewood fits. The master association describes “a family neighborhood feel” (Lakewood Community Services, About). The trade-offs are flood insurance, older construction and the open golf-land questions. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to tour.
These seller answers for Lakewood draw on the same records. Where a figure is owed from the next MLS pull, the answer says so.
It depends on your product and section. We tracked 63 Lakewood sales, $105,000 to $670,000, in the year to August 11, 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS). Start with a free Lakewood home valuation, or Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a confidential price review against your own section’s sales.
Days on market are not in the MLS extract we hold; they are owed in the next pull. What we can say: 63 Lakewood homes closed in twelve months, so buyers are active across all three products (Southwest Florida MLS, closed sales Aug 11, 2025 to Aug 11, 2026).
No. Villas ran $250,000 to $410,000 and the Boca Ciega condominiums $105,000 to $265,000, while the main Lakewood MLS name mixes houses and condominiums from $108,000 to $670,000 (Southwest Florida MLS). Price against your own product.
It can affect a buyer’s confidence: a resident leader told the Naples Press in 2023 about two buyers who backed out over the uncertainty (Naples Press, 2023). We address it with the record, not speculation, and show buyers the master’s own minutes.
Some buyers ask. The pool closed on October 31, 2024 and the master will not take it over (pool closing notice). We present Lakewood as a pay-as-you-play golf neighborhood with low shared-amenity costs, which is accurate and appeals to buyers who do not want club dues.
That depends on your section’s recorded documents. Some Florida associations approve buyers or tenants; your village or condominium Declaration says whether yours does. Either way, order estoppel certificates from your village and the master early.
One from your neighborhood association and one from Lakewood Community Services. They confirm dues, any special assessment and any capital contribution the village charges, and title companies require them before closing.
In Collier County the buyer customarily pays the owner’s title insurance policy; the contract controls. As a seller you typically pay your agent’s commission as agreed, documentary stamp tax on the deed, your mortgage payoff and any prorated dues or taxes.
Flood history and insurance, roof age, any known drainage issue, and the golf-land situation if your home backs onto a fairway. Nearly every address is Zone AE (FEMA NFHL), so buyers will ask for your flood policy and any elevation certificate.
If you have one, give it to buyers early; if not, consider ordering one. Collier’s library already holds 151 certificates in and around Lakewood, so check whether yours is on file (Collier elevation certificates).
Yes for most Lakewood homes. They date from the 1970s and 1980s, before the 2002 Florida Building Code, and a current wind mitigation report shows a buyer’s insurer which features earn credits, which helps the buyer price the home.
Many Lakewood single-family homes have been renovated (Lakewood Community Services, About), so dated homes compete against updated ones. We tell you which repairs return their cost and which do not before you spend.
Usually, but the parcel matters. A view of the operating Lakewood Country Club course and a view of the closed Evergreen fairways are different stories to a buyer. We price each against comparable views.
Lakes run through the neighborhood, and the master association maintains them; a well-kept lake view is a selling point. We compare your home with sales that share its view type from the MLS remarks after the next pull.
Naples demand peaks in the winter season, when seasonal buyers are in town and the golf course is busiest, from November through April. We time the launch, photography and pricing to your goals.
Yes, but tell investors about the rental rules first. Single Family I allows rentals with rules and bans room rentals (Single Family I, Do’s and Don’ts); villa and condominium lease rules are in each section’s documents.
Buyers compare monthly costs. Lakewood’s dues include Blue Stream TV and internet up to 600 Mbps, which offsets a bill a buyer would otherwise pay (Blue Stream). We show buyers the full cost picture using your estoppel figures.
Disclosure duties in Florida turn on known facts that materially affect value. The Evergreen proposals and the closed clubhouse are public, reported facts (Naples Press, 2023). Ask a Florida real estate attorney about your specific duties.
The estoppel letter will show it, and the contract decides who pays any assessment levied before closing. Tell us early so we can price and negotiate around it.
Your costs are your agent’s commission as agreed, Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, payoff of any mortgage, estoppel fees, prorations of dues and taxes, and any repairs you agree to. The buyer customarily pays the owner’s title policy in Collier County.
Yes. We can market quietly to our qualified-buyer database built over two decades when you want discretion, then go public if needed. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
Lenders review condominium associations’ budgets, reserves and insurance. Ask your Lakewood Condo I to III or Boca Ciega association for its budget, reserve study and master policy now, so a buyer’s lender is not slowed down later (Florida Statutes 718.112).
Trim the landscaping toward the course or lake, clear the lanai, and replace dead yard-light bulbs, which the single-family association requires anyway (Single Family I FAQ). We provide professional photography, video and drone.
Lakewood recorded 63 closings in the year to August 11, 2026 at a $280,000 median (Southwest Florida MLS). Whether now is right depends on your plans and your section’s competition. Request a free Lakewood home valuation and we will tell you plainly.
Usually yes, subject to the lease. A tenant-occupied sale needs coordination for showings, and investor buyers may want the lease to continue. Check your village’s rental rules and the lease terms.
Who owns it, whether it will stay open, and whether they must pay to play. The answers: a private owner, which says it plans to keep the course open; and pay as you play, with seasonal passes (Single Family I news; seasonal passes).
Order the estoppel letters, secure insurance on the vacant home, and talk to the estate’s attorney about authority to sell. We work with personal representatives and out-of-state heirs regularly. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.
That depends on your financing and timing. We can line up your Lakewood sale and your next purchase together; Marc handles the buy side at (239) 287-5873 while Jesse handles your listing.
Golfers want to know the course is public, pay as you play and open: Lakewood Country Club is a par 60 course of 3,161 yards from the back tees, with seasonal passes from November through April (course and scorecard; seasonal passes). We put that in the listing, show the fairway from the lanai in the video, and explain to out-of-state buyers that no club dues come with the home.
Start with what a buyer’s inspector and insurer will flag in a 1970s or 1980s home: the roof, the water heater, the electrical panel, plumbing supply lines and any drainage near the slab. A current roof and a wind mitigation report help a buyer insure the home. Cosmetic updates come second; we walk the home with you and rank the list by return.
