The Strand - The Links

McGreevy and Comisar are the team Links sellers call first, and the team Links buyers call when they want the recorded facts rather than a brochure: what the 2000 declaration of covenants actually requires of an owner, what every Links sale of the last five years actually recorded, and why a neighborhood of 54 golf-front homes produced six closings in one year after producing one a year for four. The Links at The Strand is a neighborhood of detached single-family homes inside the master-planned community of The Strand in Naples, Florida. It is 54 one- and two-story pool homes on Fairway Court, ZIP 34110, a cul-de-sac running west from Strand Boulevard in the northwest corner of The Strand in North Naples, every one of them on the 4th, 5th or 6th hole of the club's Savannah nine, built from 2000 to 2003 under one recorded declaration and governed by its own homeowners' association. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 real estate team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008.

One naming note before anything else. This page is about The Links at The Strand, off Strand Boulevard north of Immokalee Road. "The Links" is the name of many golf neighborhoods in Florida, and search results mix them freely; this one is the Fairway Court neighborhood recorded in the Collier County Clerk's records as "The Links at the Strand" and on the county roll as "Links at The Strand."

This guide is built from the recorded Links declaration of covenants and its attached articles and bylaws, the master association's Links page, Florida Division of Corporations filings, the Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary tax roll for all 54 homes and every recorded deed in the county sales file back to 2000, FEMA's flood maps run for every address on Fairway Court, Collier County Public Schools' zone database and every Links closing in the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 26, 2026. If you own on Fairway Court and are thinking about selling, start with the market snapshot and the seller section, then call Jesse. If you are buying, the home, fee, rule and flood detail below will tell you whether The Links fits before you tour.

Why McGreevy and Comisar Are the Best Realtor for The Links at The Strand

McGreevy and Comisar are the best realtor for The Links at The Strand because the case is on the record: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% of agents nationally since 2008, over $900 million in personal sales, and a Links market read built from every recorded county deed and every MLS closing, not an automated estimate.

If you're searching for the best realtor for The Links in The Strand, Naples, whether you're ready to sell your Links 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% Nationally since 2008, with over $2.5 billion sold as a team and $900 million in personal sales between Jesse and Marc.

That matters at The Links for a reason specific to this neighborhood. The Links is The Strand's second price tier from the top, and in 2026 it repriced fast: the county record shows a Links home selling new for $554,400 in 2002 and again for $1,595,000 in January 2026, at full list price, with no days on market. Yet in the same twelve months another Links home closed 16.6% under its asking price after 88 days. The difference between those two outcomes is pricing to the right comparable: the plan, the one- or two-story layout, the pool and lanai, the view down which Savannah hole, and whether the backyard faces the lake. That is work an automated estimate cannot do with ten sales in five years.

Recent Links track record (last 12 months): In the last 12 months The Links has seen 6 resales in the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix (pulled September 26, 2026, closings September 27, 2025 to September 26, 2026), totaling $7,685,000 and running from $925,000 to $1,595,000. Six is an even count, so the median of $1,265,000 is the mean of the two middle sales, $1,200,000 and $1,330,000; no Links home actually sold at $1,265,000. Five of the six were marketed through the MLS with a recorded time on market, and their median was 0 days. Six sales in one year is under our ten-sale rule, so we widened the window: five years of MLS history hold exactly 10 Links closings, the first window with ten, at a median of $1,167,500 (n=10, even, the mean of $1,135,000 and $1,200,000). The Matrix pull behind this page recorded prices, living areas and days on market, not the listing office on each sale, so we do not state a represented-sale count for The Links; ask us and we will walk you through all ten closings and the county deed history one by one.

For Links sellers: premium marketing, including cinematic video, drone, professional photography, a qualified-buyer database, and discretion with off-market capability when a sale needs to stay quiet. At The Links the drone and the photography are not decoration: the product is the view down a Savannah fairway, and a buyer from out of state decides from the screen whether that view is worth a tour. The Links declaration also limits signs to those meeting the master association's guidelines, so we reach the buyers before they reach the gate.

For Links buyers: the first question is the home itself, because Links homes run from about 2,100 to 3,300 square feet of MLS living area with two, three and four bedroom plans, one and two stories, and they have recorded very different prices. The second is the legal form: at The Links you own the lot and the house outright under a Chapter 720 homeowners' association, with no association approval needed to buy, and you maintain your own roof and exterior. The third is the fee, which by the recorded declaration pays for your lawn and landscaping and collects the master association's share, but whose amount is not published. Sellers and buyers comparing the best real estate agents in Naples should ask each one to answer those three questions for a specific Links home; we answer them below.

Living in The Links at The Strand as a Homebuyer

Living in The Links at The Strand means owning a 2000 to 2003 detached pool home on your own lot on Fairway Court, a tree-lined cul-de-sac of 54 homes on the Savannah nine, with the lawn and landscaping in the association fee, automatic Social membership in The Club at The Strand, and easy access to the north gate.

The Links is one of the two top-priced neighborhoods in The Strand, behind only the 121-home Single Family Homes association, and it is unusually uniform: one street, one declaration, one developer, one four-year building window, and the same golf-course setting for every home. It sits in the northwest corner of the community, near the north end of Strand Boulevard, about two miles of interior driving from the main gate at Immokalee Road and close to the clubhouse. What follows is what daily life there looks like, drawn from the recorded documents, the master association's published pages and the county's records.

What Is The Links at The Strand?

The Links at The Strand is a residential subdivision of 54 platted lots governed by a homeowners' association under Chapter 720 of the Florida Statutes. Its Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for The Links at the Strand was made in March 2000 by The Links at the Strand Development Corporation, joined by The Strand, Ltd., formerly Pelican Strand, Ltd., the master developer, and recorded March 22, 2000 at Official Records Book 2654, Page 0059 in the Collier County Clerk's records. The land it covers is Tract 12 of the Pelican Strand Replat-1C, recorded in Plat Book 31, Pages 54 to 57, which was then platted as Links at The Strand in Plat Book 34, Pages 41 to 42, per the county's subdivision map layer.

The association is The Links at The Strand Homeowner's Association, Inc., Florida Division of Corporations document N00000000819, active. Above it sits The Strand Master Property Owners Association, Inc. (N97000001156), a Chapter 720 homeowners' association under the master declaration at Official Records Book 2292, Page 1637, managed by Dorrill Management Group. The Links votes as one block of 54 on the master association's 2026 annual meeting ballot, one vote per home.

Fifty-Four Homes on One Cul-de-Sac

The master association's Links page describes the neighborhood as "54 free-standing, one or two story, single family villas located in the northwestern corner of The Strand," and the street as "a wide tree-lined road that runs west from Strand Boulevard, ending in a cul-de-sac." The county roll confirms the count: 54 residential lots, Block 12, Lots 1 to 54, with house numbers from 6003 to 6108 Fairway Court, plus a 1.90-acre tract carrying the street and common areas that the county lists in the association's name.

On the federal aerial image at the top of this page the shape reads plainly: a single street that bends once, with a row of homes on each side, a turning circle at the west end, pool cages behind nearly every roof, fairways and bunkers along the north side, and a lake and more fairway along the south. The outline on the image is the county's own subdivision boundary, 16.37 acres in all.

Golf on Every Lot

"All of the Links homes have direct golf course views of either the 4th, 5th or 6th holes of the Savannah golf course," in the master association's words, and "homes along the southern side of The Links also have water views." That single sentence is the reason The Links trades where it does. Savannah is the nine the club calls its "most player-friendly," with wide fairways and the largest greens, per the club's golf page; a Links backyard looks across a wide Savannah fairway rather than into a tight tree line.

Golf-front has a cost as well as a value. Errant balls, early-morning mowers and course maintenance are part of the view, and the Links declaration requires every lawn to be kept to the pavement edge and to the waterline of any abutting lake. We walk every Links buyer through which hole a home faces, which way the lanai points, and what the afternoon sun does to it.

Who Owns at The Links?

The 2026 preliminary tax roll answers this better than any brochure. Of the 54 Links homes, 36 (66.7%) carry a homestead exemption, 42 owners have a Florida mailing address, 11 a mailing address in another state and 1 in Canada. Across all 1,072 residential parcels in The Strand, 415 (38.7%) have an out-of-state owner address, so The Links' out-of-state share, 11 of 54 or 20.4%, is about half the community's. In plain terms, and this is our reading rather than a survey, The Links is a neighborhood of full-time owners by the county's own measure: two of every three homes are someone's Florida homestead.

Ownership is also long. In the county sales file, 27 of the 54 homes show no sale for value since 2013 or earlier, 14 none since 2005 or earlier, and 6 still show their 2001 sale by the developer as their last sale for value. That is why The Links traded about once a year from 2022 to 2025, and why a well-priced Links listing tends to meet buyers who have been waiting for one.

A Day at The Links

A February weekday on Fairway Court might start with coffee on a lanai that faces a Savannah fairway, a short drive or cart ride to a morning tee time and lunch at Tavern 59 in the clubhouse, then errands along the Immokalee Road corridor: the Publix Pelican Strand store at 5624 Strand Boulevard sits just outside the main gate, and NCH North Naples Hospital is about six minutes from the corner of Strand Boulevard and Immokalee Road. Vanderbilt Beach is about 6.2 miles and 12 minutes by car, and Mercato about 4.8 miles, from that same corner (OSRM public routing, measured September 2026); from Fairway Court add the drive down Strand Boulevard. The evening might be a swim in your own pool, since every one of the 54 homes carries a pool on the county roll, while the association's landscapers keep the lawn.

The Links at The Strand Market Snapshot: What Links Homes Actually Sell For

The Links at The Strand recorded ten MLS closings in the five years to September 26, 2026, from $799,000 to $1,595,000, with a median of $1,167,500 (the mean of the two middle sales). Six closed in the last twelve months at a median of $1,265,000, and one home was listed and one pending on September 26, 2026.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 26, 2026; Collier County recorded sales through the newest recording in the county file, dated August 29, 2026)

The Links produced one MLS sale a year from 2022 to 2025 and six in the first half of 2026, so every figure below states its window and its count. Three rules govern the numbers. MLS price per square foot divides by the listing's living area, the county roll's area is a different measure, and the two are never compared with each other. Where a window holds fewer than ten sales we list the sales instead of leading with a median. And where a count is even, the median is the mean of the two middle sales, and we say so. The MLS Sub/Condo field is typed by listing agents, so we assigned every Strand closing to its neighborhood by street; all ten Fairway Court closings also read "The Links" in that field.

Every Links MLS Closing in the Last Five Years

Source: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, Development THE STRAND, street Fairway Court, closings September 27, 2021 to September 26, 2026, pulled September 26, 2026. The March 31, 2026 sale was entered into the MLS after closing, so it carries no marketing period.

• Count and volume: 10 closings, $11,539,000 in total.
• Median sold price: $1,167,500 (n=10, even, the mean of $1,135,000 and $1,200,000).
• Range: $799,000 (January 2022) to $1,595,000 (January 2026).
• Sold to list: median 100.00% (both middle ratios were 100.00%); the mean of the ten per-sale ratios is 97.13%; 6 of 10 closed at full asking price.
• Price per living square foot: median $425.17 (the mean of $410.93 and $439.41); the mean of the ten per-sale ratios is $451.82.
• Days on market: median 7, across the nine sales with a recorded marketing period.

The Last 12 Months: Six Closings

Six Links homes closed from September 27, 2025 to September 26, 2026, all of them in 2026: $925,000, $1,135,000, $1,200,000, $1,330,000, $1,500,000 and $1,595,000. Six is an even count, so the median of $1,265,000 is the mean of $1,200,000 and $1,330,000, and the median price per living square foot of $484.65 is likewise the mean of $439.41 and $529.88. The median sold-to-list ratio was 98.69% (the mean of 97.37% and 100.00%), and the median time on market was 0 days across the five sales with a recorded marketing period. Three of the six sold at full asking price.

The spread inside those six is the lesson. The January sale at $1,595,000 closed at its full list price with no days on market, the highest-priced full-price, no-days sale anywhere in The Strand in the twelve months. The March sale that also listed at $1,595,000 closed at $1,330,000 after 88 days. And the June sale listed at $1,595,000 closed at $1,500,000 with no days on market, which is how a price negotiated before the listing goes live reads in the MLS. Same neighborhood, same list price, three different outcomes.

What Is for Sale at The Links Right Now

On September 26, 2026 the MLS showed one active Links listing, a three-bedroom-plus-den, 2.5-bath home of 2,533 square feet at $1,325,000 after 16 days, and one pending sale, a three-bedroom-plus-den, three-bath home of 2,472 square feet listed at $1,295,000 that went under contract in 4 days. Two of 54 homes in the market at once is 3.7% of the neighborhood. At The Links' recent pace, six sales in twelve months, one active listing is about two months of supply.

Links Prices by Size and Bedroom Count

Every group holds fewer than ten sales, so we list them and quote no group median. Two readings hold anyway. The four-bedroom homes of about 2,730 square feet have recorded two of the highest prices per square foot, $476.71 and $581.06; and the one 3,300 square foot home sold for less per square foot, $363.64, than any Links sale since 2022, a reminder that size alone does not price a Links home. The MLS does not record which homes are one story and which are two, and neither does the county roll directly, so we check each listing's plan before comparing.

The Links Against The Strand's Other Neighborhoods

Across The Strand's 61 MLS closings in the last twelve months, the median sold price was $610,000 (odd count, an observed sale) and the median time on market was 51 days. The twelve detached-home sales in The Strand closed at a median of $1,265,000, a middle pair made of two Links sales, with a median of 7 days on market. The Links therefore sells at about twice The Strand's overall median and far faster, and within the detached tier it sits between the villa neighborhoods (Eden, Ana's Place, Sawgrass, Mango Cay) and the Single Family Homes association, whose four sales in the last twelve months had a median of $1,650,000 (even, the mean of $1,550,000 and $1,750,000). All figures: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 26, 2026.

The County Record, Back to the Developer

The Collier County Property Appraiser's sales file, in files dated August 29, 2026, shows the whole life of the neighborhood. The Links at the Strand Development Corporation took title to the lots as vacant land from May 2000 to June 2002, mostly at $61,200 to $87,800 a lot, and sold the finished homes from 2000 to 2003: 53 homes show a first improved sale in that window, at a median of $469,900 and a range of $373,300 to $630,700.

Source: Collier County Property Appraiser sales file, qualified sales of $100,000 or more, files dated August 29, 2026. No qualified Links sale was recorded in 2008 or 2015.

The county layer and the MLS layer disagree in three places, and we report all three. The county coded two of the 2026 MLS sales, the $925,000 February sale and the $1,135,000 March sale, as not qualified, so they do not appear in the county's counts. And the county records a qualified $1,128,000 sale in February 2024 that never appeared in the MLS, an off-market sale. Over the 72 months to August 28, 2026, the first county window holding ten or more qualified sales, the county records 13 at a median of $935,000; over the last 60 months it records 9 at a median of $1,200,000.

First-Hand Block: One Links Home's Recorded History, 2001 to 2026

We traced one Links home through every deed the county holds, and its chain is the neighborhood's price history in five lines. The Links at the Strand Development Corporation took the vacant lot for $61,200 in February 2001. The finished home sold new for $385,800 in August 2001. It resold for $585,000 in June 2016 and for $885,000 in August 2021. In March 2026 it closed at $1,330,000, after listing in the MLS at $1,595,000 and spending 88 days on the market. That is 3.4 times its 2001 price in 25 years, and a 50% gain in the four and a half years since 2021, but it is also the one Links sale of 2026 that closed well below its asking price. The home's value rose; its first list price outran it. We read that chain as the whole case for pricing a Links home to its plan and its view on the day it lists.

Our Read of the Links Market

Our read, from the record above and not a forecast: The Links has repriced from the $800,000 to $950,000 band of 2022 to 2024 into a $1.2 million to $1.6 million band in 2026, on six sales. The fast, full-price sales were the four-bedroom and larger homes and the homes priced within the recent range; the slow one was priced above it. With one active listing and one pending on September 26, 2026, supply is thin, and a seller who lists into the winter season with a price anchored to the 2026 closings, not to the highest one, should expect strong early interest. A buyer should expect to compete, and should have the flood, roof and insurance questions below answered before the right home comes up.

How Did The Links at The Strand Come to Be?

The Links at The Strand was created in March 2000, when The Links at the Strand Development Corporation recorded its declaration of covenants over a tract of the Pelican Strand master plan. The lots were conveyed to that corporation as vacant land from 2000 to 2002, and all 54 homes were finished and sold from 2000 to 2003.

From Pelican Strand to The Strand

The Strand began as Pelican Strand, developed by Pelican Strand, Ltd. with Pelican Strand Development Corporation as its general partner; construction began in 1996 and the golf course opened in 1997. The partnership, the development corporation and the master association all took The Strand name on April 30, 1999, which is why the Links declaration, recorded eleven months later, names "The Strand, Ltd., f/k/a Pelican Strand, Ltd." and its general partner, "The Strand Development Corporation of Naples, f/k/a Pelican Strand Development Corporation." Naples Daily News reported in 2014 that the Tavilla family developed the community in partnership with Paul Hardy, and Robert Paul Hardy signed the master developer's consent to the Links declaration. The zoning is Collier County's Pelican Strand planned unit development, restated in Ordinance 02-57 in November 2002 with a cap of 1,160 homes.

The Links Declaration of March 2000

The Links declaration was made by The Links at the Strand Development Corporation, "hereinafter referred to as 'Declarant' or 'Developer'," a Florida corporation separate from the master developer, with The Strand, Ltd. joining as the owner of land the declarant did not yet own, and with AmSouth Bank joining as the holder of the mortgage on the property. Its Plan of Development places The Links inside The Strand's planned unit development and under three layers of recorded covenants: the master declaration at Official Records Book 2292, Page 1637; a Declaration of Neighborhood Covenants recorded January 18, 2000 at Book 2631, Page 3251; and the Links declaration itself. "In the event of any conflict between the Neighborhood Covenants and the Master Declaration, the Master Declaration shall control," the declaration says, and its use restrictions add that the more restrictive provision applies.

The declaration also created the association. The articles of incorporation and bylaws of The Links at The Strand Homeowner's Association, Inc. are attached to the recorded document, and they set a board of at least three directors, an annual members' meeting in February, a calendar fiscal year and quarterly assessments.

The Developer Years, 2000 to 2003

The county sales file shows how the neighborhood was built out. From May 2000 to June 2002 the lots passed to The Links at the Strand Development Corporation as vacant land, most at $61,200 to $87,800 a lot. The finished homes then sold one at a time: 2 first sales in 2000, 23 in 2001, 17 in 2002 and 11 in 2003, at a median of $469,900 and a range of $373,300 to $630,700. The county roll's year-built field tells the same story: 2 homes completed in 2000, 27 in 2001, 13 in 2002 and 12 in 2003.

While it owned lots, the developer controlled the association. The declaration gave it ten votes for each lot it owned and required it to hand control to the owners under section 617.307 of the Florida Statutes, three months after 90% of the lots were conveyed, or earlier at its option. The developer also carried the association's operating deficit instead of paying assessments on unsold lots, and was excused from funding reserves in that period. The records we read do not name a builder brand for the homes; the declarant sold them as finished houses, and the MLS Sub/Condo field and the county roll both carry only the neighborhood name.

The Recorded Chain

Sources: the Links declaration (its Plan of Development and Exhibit A) via the Collier County Clerk; the county's subdivision map layer for the plat book and page; the master association's Links page. We did not locate a recorded amendment to the Links declaration in the documents we read. Before relying on any rule below, a buyer should ask the association for its current governing documents and have the title search list every recorded amendment.

The Boom, the Crash and the Recovery in the Deeds

The county's qualified sales trace The Links through two cycles. First sales ran at a median of $469,900 from 2000 to 2003. By 2005 and 2006 resales were closing at medians of $848,500 and $853,000, then fell to a median of $580,750 in 2009 and to as low as $517,500 in 2011. Through the 2010s The Links traded in a $505,000 to $629,000 band of annual medians, and the climb began in 2020: $645,000, then $755,000 in 2021, $799,000 and $935,000 on one sale each in 2022 and 2023, $1,300,000 on one sale in 2025, and a median of $1,415,000 on four qualified sales in 2026 through August. The 2026 median is 66% above the 2006 median, twenty years on.

The Homes at The Links at The Strand: 54 Golf-Front Pool Homes

The homes at The Links at The Strand are 54 detached, one- and two-story single-family pool homes built from 2000 to 2003 on lots of 0.17 to 0.28 acres, with MLS living areas from about 2,100 to 3,300 square feet and two to four bedrooms plus a den, per the county roll and ten years of listings.

Data updated: September 2026

Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary roll, files dated August 29, 2026. Just value is the county's assessment figure, not a market price; every Links sale in 2026 closed above its home's 2026 preliminary just value.

Plans, Sizes and Stories

The ten Links homes sold on the MLS since 2022 carried living areas of 2,091 to 3,300 square feet: three two-bedroom-plus-den homes of about 2,100 to 2,300 square feet, four three-bedroom-plus-den homes of about 2,400 to 2,600, two four-bedroom homes of about 2,730 and one four-bedroom-plus-den home of 3,300. The active and pending listings on September 26, 2026 were three-bedroom-plus-den plans of 2,533 and 2,472 square feet. The master association says the homes are "one or two story." The county roll's base area, 1,893 to 2,767 square feet for the main building, measures the building's base, not its living area, and on a two-story home it will run well below the listing's square footage, so we never compare the two numbers.

Pools, Spas and Lanais

Every one of the 54 Links lots carries a pool on the county roll, and 40 also carry a spa, which is what the aerial shows: a screened pool cage behind nearly every roof. The declaration makes the pool, "any pool enclosures, decks, patios, and walkways" the owner's responsibility to maintain, and it requires gas tanks for pool heaters to be stored below ground. A new cage, a pool resurfacing or a heater is therefore an owner decision within the architectural rules, not an association project.

What You Own at The Links

At The Links you own your lot and your house in fee simple. The declaration defines the common areas as all the land it covers except the platted lots, deeded to the association; on the county roll that is the 1.90-acre tract carrying Fairway Court, in the association's name. Your lot's boundaries are on the recorded plat, and the declaration gives each owner an easement over any part of the driveway that runs beyond the lot line to the street. There is no undivided share of a building, no association insurance on your house and no association approval to buy or sell, which is the core difference from the condominium neighborhoods of The Strand, including Mango Cay's detached villas.

Garages, Driveways and the Street

Each Links home has an attached garage, and the declaration protects it: "No automobile garage shall be permanently enclosed or converted to other use without the written permission of the Board of Directors," and "All garage doors must remain closed except upon entering or exiting the garage." The association's assessments pay for "minor repair and maintenance of driveways on each Lot from each residence to the roadway," while "non-routine or extraordinary maintenance, repair or replacement" of the driveway falls to the owner. The street, its lighting, signs, drainage and landscaping are common-area costs in the association's budget.

How Old Are the Big Systems?

A Links home completed in 2001 is 25 years old in 2026, so its original roof, air conditioning, pool equipment and water heater have almost certainly been replaced at least once, and possibly twice. The roof is the owner's under the declaration, which lists "painting and repair of roof, gutters, down spouts, and exterior building surfaces" among the owner's duties. The county's permit records, not the listing's remarks, tell a buyer when each system was last replaced; we pull them for every Links home we list or show.

What Amenities Come With a Links at The Strand Home?

The Links at The Strand's amenities come in three layers: each home's own pool on a golf-front lot along the Savannah nine; The Strand's gatehouse, north gate, lakes and preserves under the master association; and The Club at The Strand, where every Links owner holds a mandatory Social membership with no initiation fee.

Inside The Links

The Links has no neighborhood clubhouse or community pool; every home has its own pool, and the shared amenities are the setting. The common areas the association maintains are the street and its sidewalks, "landscaped areas including lawns, shrubs, trees and other planting," walls, signs, street lights and drainage, as listed in section 4.2 of the declaration. The master association's Links page adds the two features owners value most: every home faces Savannah holes 4, 5 or 6, and from Fairway Court "Links residents have easy access to the clubhouse and other amenities of The Strand as well as to the north gate."

The Club Membership Every Links Owner Joins

The Club at The Strand, 5840 Strand Boulevard, is a private, non-equity club owned since 2014 by The Strand at Naples, LLC. Its 2026 Membership Brochure makes Social membership mandatory for every Strand homeowner, with no initiation fee for Strand homeowners and annual dues of $4,162 in 2026. Upgrades are optional: a Sport membership at a $40,000 initiation and $7,652 in dues, a Single Golf membership at an $80,000 initiation and a Full or Family Golf membership at a $100,000 initiation, with golf dues scaled by age (Full or Family $15,861 at 56 and over). The club advertises "NO Assessments, NO Capital Dues, NO Hidden Fees, NO Food and Beverage Minimums"; the brochure is the document to read before an offer, because dues change each season. One detail matters at The Links in particular: the county roll lists a 0.19-acre tract inside the Links plat in the name of The Strand at Naples, LLC, the club's owner.

Golf on the Savannah Nine, Racquets and Dining

The club's 27 holes are three nines, Savannah, Sabal and Preserve, designed by Gordon G. Lewis, par 72 on every combination, per the club's golf page and the Florida State Golf Association's club record. The Links sits on Savannah, the nine the club calls "most player-friendly," with wide fairways and the largest greens; Savannah and Sabal are the two nines the club says hosted LPGA Tour play, which came to the club from 1999 to 2001. The clubhouse, which the club puts at 55,000 square feet, gained a $2.4 million lower-level renovation in 2022, reported by Club + Resort Business, and Tavern 59 opened in 2023. The sports page lists Har-Tru tennis, pickleball, bocce and croquet, and the club has a heated pool and a fitness center with a day spa, described on its pool page and fitness and spa page. For a Links owner, the clubhouse is a short drive or cart ride away.

The Master Association's Layer

The Strand Master Property Owners Association runs the staffed gatehouse and the north gate, the community's roads, lakes and preserves, and the bulk Comcast agreement; it is managed by Dorrill Management Group, 5672 Strand Court, per the master association's management page. Gate transponders cost $20 each under the transponder form. The Strand has no community development district: the Florida Commerce Official List of Special Districts lists none for it, so a Links tax bill carries no CDD bond assessment.

What Are the HOA Fees at The Links at The Strand?

The Links at The Strand's homeowners' association fee is not published. The recorded declaration says what it pays for: the street and common areas, each lot's lawn and landscaping, minor driveway repair, insurance, management and reserves, and the master association's assessments, which The Links association collects from owners and remits. The amount comes from the budget or an estoppel certificate.

What the Links Fee Pays For

Section 4.2 of the Links declaration lists the common expenses: streets, driveways, parking areas and sidewalks in the common areas; lawns, shrubs, trees and plantings; walls, fences, signs, street lights and fountains; storm drains, drainage easements and sprinkler systems; common-area electricity and irrigation water; management fees; property and liability insurance on the common areas; reserve accounts; and taxes on the common areas. Section 5.1 then adds the item that makes The Links a low-maintenance neighborhood: "the Lot Owners shall be assessed by the Association for the maintenance of the lawn and landscaping on their Lots," together with "minor repair and maintenance of driveways on each Lot." The declaration requires the assessment to be paid quarterly, in advance.

The Master Assessment Inside the Links Bill

The Links declaration is explicit on a question most Strand buyers have to guess at: "The Association shall collect all assessments and other sums due the Master Association as required of it by the Master Association," it "shall remit the assessments to the Master Association," and "Assessments due the Master Association by the Association shall be a common expense of the Association." By the recorded text, then, a Links owner's quarterly association bill carries the master association's share. The estoppel certificate for a specific home is where to confirm that the practice matches the text.

What the Fee Does Not Cover

Section 5.2 of the declaration leaves the house to the owner: "the exterior of the residence, including painting and repair of roof, gutters, down spouts, and exterior building surfaces (including walls, columns, trellises, doors and fences)," all interior repairs, the pool, its enclosure, decks, patios and walkways, broken glass and torn screens, and major driveway work. The owner also insures the house: section 5.6 requires "insurance policies in an amount sufficient to finance the repair or replacement of the improvements on the lot," and lets the association buy coverage and charge the owner if a policy lapses. Water, electric and internet are the owner's own accounts, apart from the master association's bulk cable agreement.

How to Get the Current Links Fee

There are three routes. The owner can share the current quarterly invoice and the adopted budget, which a Florida homeowners' association must make available to members under section 720.303. The association's board handles resale requests; the master association's Links page names no management company, so we reach the association through its board and the owner. And at contract, the estoppel certificate required by section 720.30851 states the regular assessment, anything unpaid and any special assessment adopted. We gather all three before a Links listing goes public, and a buyer working with Marc gets them before writing an offer.

The Links at The Strand's Layered Costs: HOA Fee, Club Dues, Taxes and Insurance

Owning at The Links at The Strand means paying four layers: the Links association fee, which by its declaration includes the master share; the club's mandatory $4,162 Social dues for 2026; Collier County property taxes, a median of about $7,800 a year for a non-homestead home on the 2026 preliminary roll; and the owner's own homeowner's insurance.

Data updated: September 2026

Layer 1: The Links Association Fee

Billed quarterly in advance; amount not published; inclusions recorded in the declaration (common areas, lawn and landscaping on every lot, minor driveway repair, management, reserves, and the master association's assessments collected and remitted). See the fee section above for the routes to the current figure. For scale only, the separate Single Family Homes association in The Strand, which does publish its figure, charges $1,525 a quarter in 2026; that is a different association with different duties, not a Links number.

Layer 2: The Club's Social Dues

$4,162 for 2026, mandatory, no initiation for Strand homeowners, per the club's 2026 Membership Brochure. Golf and Sport memberships are optional upgrades.

Layer 3: Property Taxes

Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary roll, files dated August 29, 2026; the preliminary figure is an estimate before the final millage is adopted, and the Collier County Tax Collector issues the bill in November. A buyer's taxes will not follow the seller's: Florida's homestead cap resets to the new assessed value after a sale, and the highest Links tax on the roll, $10,412.79, belongs to the home that sold for $1,595,000 in January 2026. Budget from the purchase price, not the current bill; a buyer paying about $1.2 million to $1.5 million who will not homestead the home should expect a bill above the non-homestead median.

Layer 4: Homeowner's and Flood Insurance

Because the association insures only the common areas, a Links owner buys a full homeowner's policy on the house, including windstorm, and the declaration requires coverage sufficient to rebuild. Flood insurance depends on the home's flood zone and the lender, covered in the flood section below; most Links address points sit outside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area, but six do not on the current map. A wind mitigation inspection under section 627.0629 documents the roof and opening credits that move the premium.

One-Time Charges at Purchase

The association's bylaws, as recorded in 2000, levy an "Initial Capital Assessment of Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($500.00) per site" on every buyer, collected at closing; the board may have changed that figure since, so the estoppel certificate is the current word. The closing will also carry the estoppel certificates, any master association transfer or capital charge (not published), $20 per gate transponder and a prorated quarter of fees. The Florida documentary stamp tax on the deed, $0.70 per $100 of price under section 201.02, is customarily a seller's cost in Collier County.

The Links at The Strand Declaration, Covenants and Rules

The Links at The Strand is governed by one recorded declaration of covenants from March 2000, with the association's articles and bylaws attached, sitting under The Strand's master declaration and neighborhood covenants. It sets the assessment, maintenance, insurance, architectural, use, sign, vehicle, pet and lease rules below, and it runs for 30 years before renewing.

What the Declaration Covers

The Links declaration is eleven articles: definitions; property rights and easements; membership and voting (one vote per lot); assessments; maintenance of lots; architectural control and reconstruction; use restrictions; easements; enforcement; transfer of ownership and leasing; and general provisions. Articles of incorporation and bylaws for the association follow it in the same recorded instrument. For a buyer the working articles are IV (what the fee pays for), V (what the owner maintains and insures), VI (who approves changes), VII (how the home may be used) and X (sales and leases).

Use Restrictions, Article VII

Source: Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for The Links at the Strand, O.R. 2654, Page 0059, recorded March 22, 2000. Where the master declaration is stricter, section 7.18 applies the more restrictive rule.

Maintenance and Rebuilding Duties

Article V splits the work cleanly. The association maintains the common areas and every lot's lawn and landscaping, and it may step in on any lot when an owner fails to make a needed repair within ten days of written notice, charging the cost back to that lot. The owner maintains everything else on the lot, from the roof to the pool. After a storm, section 5.4 requires the owner to start repairs within 30 days of the insurance settlement and finish within one year, to the architectural standards; if the owner does not, section 5.5 lets the association do the work and section 5.6 assigns it the insurance proceeds. That is a meaningful protection for neighbors after a hurricane, and a meaningful obligation for an owner.

Term and Amendment

The covenants "run with and bind the Properties" for 30 years from recording, which runs to March 2030, and then renew automatically for successive ten-year periods unless owners of two-thirds of the lots record an instrument to change or end them. Now that the developer has sold every lot, the declaration may be amended by an instrument executed by owners holding two-thirds of the voting interests. The bylaws may be amended by a board majority with the consent of a majority of members. We found no recorded amendment in the documents we read; ask the association and the title company for any that exist.

The Master Declaration Above It

The Links sits inside The Strand Master Property Owners Association, under the master declaration at Official Records Book 2292, Page 1637 and neighborhood covenants recorded in 2000, with master documents amended in April 2022. The master layer sets a 30-day minimum lease term, allows two domestic animals per parcel, runs the gate and the architectural review, and charges the master assessment that the Links association collects. The Links association elects one neighborhood representative to the master association each year, as section 3.4 of the declaration requires.

Is The Links at The Strand a 55+ Community?

No. The Links at The Strand is not age-restricted. The recorded Links declaration contains no housing-for-older-persons restriction, and its own definition of a "Single Family" includes the owner's "children, parents, brothers, sisters, grandchildren," so families are contemplated by the document itself.

The Strand as a whole is not a 55+ community either, although many owners are retirees. At The Links two of every three homes carry a Florida homestead exemption, so a larger share of owners live there year-round than in The Strand overall. For families, Fairway Court is zoned to three Collier County public schools rated A (see the schools section below), and Links plans run to four bedrooms plus a den.

Can You Rent Out a Links at The Strand Home?

Yes, with limits. The Links at The Strand declaration allows leases in writing with a copy to the board, for no less than 30 days, no more than three times a year, with no subleasing or room rentals; The Strand's master declaration adds its own 30-day minimum. Short-term vacation renting is not allowed.

The Links Leasing Rules

Section 10.4 of the recorded declaration is short and complete: "All leases must be in writing and a copy of any lease shall be delivered to the Board upon commencement of the said Lease. There may be no leases for a period of less than thirty (30) days nor more than three (3) times per year. No subleasing or assignment of lease rights is allowed unless approved by the Board. No individual rooms may be rented and no transient tenants may be accommodated." A further sentence limits occupancy to the lessee, the lessee's family "within the first degree of relationship," and their guests. Unlike the condominium neighborhoods of The Strand, the Links declaration does not require the association to approve a tenant in advance.

Ownership by a Trust or Company

The declaration allows a lot to be owned in a trust or by a corporation or other entity, but says the purpose is "to allow flexibility in estate or tax planning, and not to create circumstances in which the Lot may be used as short term transient accommodations." An entity owner must designate one natural person as the "Primary Occupant," and use by anyone else is treated as a lease. Co-ownership by more than two people also requires a designated primary occupant.

What the Rules Mean for an Owner

In practice The Links suits a seasonal owner who wants to lease the home for a month or a season while away, up to three times a year, and it does not suit a nightly or weekly rental plan. The master association's 30-day minimum and the gate's transponder rules, which issue transponders to "residents, members, and approved renters only," apply on top. With 36 of 54 homes carrying a homestead exemption, most Links homes are lived in by their owners today.

Pet Rules at The Links at The Strand

Pets are welcome at The Links at The Strand. The recorded declaration allows "pets of a normal domesticated household type such as a cat or dog," requires them to be leashed on common areas, makes owners clean up after them and lets the board remove a pet that becomes a nuisance; the master declaration allows two domestic animals per parcel.

The Links declaration sets no weight limit and no breed list, which is a real difference from the condominium neighborhoods; Mango Cay II's declaration, for example, caps dogs and cats at 30 pounds. The master association's two-animal limit is the binding number count. Livestock, poultry and breeding are prohibited. With fairways behind every home, a leash and a fence plan matter more than the rule book; any fence is an architectural approval, covered next.

Architectural Review at The Links at The Strand

Architectural review at The Links at The Strand runs through The Strand's master association. The Links declaration requires written approval from the master association's Construction Committee before any building, addition, fence, wall, screen enclosure, awning or other exterior change is started, judged for "harmony of external design and location in relation to surrounding structures."

The Master Association's Construction Committee

Section 6.1 of the declaration covers nearly everything an owner might change outside: "No improvement, addition or deletion of structure of any kind, including without limitation, any building, fence, wall, screen enclosure, awning, drain or other improvement shall be commenced," and no "addition, change, alteration, repair or replacement" made, until the plans are approved in writing by the committee the master association created. A new pool cage, a replacement roof in a different material or color, a generator pad, impact windows or a fence all start with that application, and with Collier County permits.

If the Master Association Steps Back

If the master association ever stops exercising review, the Links declaration creates its own Architectural Review Board of at least three members, appointed by the association's board, which may require two sets of plans, charge a processing fee and approve or disapprove any visible change. An owner who disagrees may ask the board to review an ARB decision within 30 days, and the board's decision is final. Florida's section 720.3035 limits review to what the recorded documents allow.

Rebuilding After a Storm

The architectural rules also govern rebuilding. A home damaged by "aging, fire, windstorm, flood or tornado" must be repaired to the standards the architectural article sets, starting within 30 days of the insurance settlement and finishing within a year. For an owner that means keeping the original plans, the permit history and the insurance policy's replacement-cost figure together, because all three come up at once after a hurricane.

Hurricanes, Flood Zone and Insurance at The Links at The Strand

Most of The Links at The Strand sits outside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area, but not all of it. On FEMA's effective map, 43 of 55 Fairway Court address points are unshaded Zone X, 6 are shaded Zone X and 6 fall in Zone AH; on FEMA's preliminary maps all 55 are unshaded Zone X.

Data updated: September 2026

The FEMA Flood Zones on Fairway Court

We ran every Fairway Court address point in Collier County Public Schools' address database, 55 in all, through FEMA's live National Flood Hazard Layer on September 27, 2026. The result: 43 points in Zone X, "Area of Minimal Flood Hazard"; 6 in shaded Zone X, the 0.2 percent annual chance flood area; and 6 in Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area of shallow ponding. The six AH points sit mid-street, on both sides of Fairway Court, in the stretch that backs to the Savannah fairways and the lake. The street also straddles two FIRM panels: 47 points fall on panel 12021C0192J, effective February 8, 2024, and the 8 easternmost on panel 12021C0211H, effective May 16, 2012.

An address point is not a building footprint. A lender's flood determination, or an elevation certificate, decides the zone for a specific home, and a Links home mapped in Zone AH may have been built above the flood elevation. We check the determination and the elevation certificate for every Links home we list or show; Collier County explains elevation certificates in its Building Bulletin 21.

What FEMA's Preliminary Maps Show

FEMA's preliminary National Flood Hazard Layer puts all 55 Fairway Court address points in unshaded Zone X. Collier County announced a 90-day appeal and comment period beginning August 19, 2026 in its August 2026 release on the proposed Flood Insurance Rate Map. Until the new maps take effect, the effective panels govern, including the AH area. Unincorporated Collier County participates in FEMA's Community Rating System, which discounts National Flood Insurance Program premiums countywide.

Ground Height, Storm Surge and Evacuation

For our Strand guide we sampled a Fairway Court test point near the middle of the street: the USGS Elevation Point Query Service put the ground at about 14.0 feet, and the nearest effective base flood elevation line was 12.0 feet. Collier County's hurricane evacuation zone layer places Fairway Court in Evacuation Zone D, called only after Zones A, B and C; the state's Know Your Zone program explains the order. On the National Hurricane Center's worst-case storm surge risk maps, the Fairway Court point shows no surge in Category 1 or 2 scenarios and surge appears only in major-hurricane scenarios, under 3 feet in Category 3 and more in Categories 4 and 5. In Hurricane Ian in 2022 the severe impacts in North Naples were confined to the immediate coastline, per the National Hurricane Center's report, and we found no Strand-specific damage record.

Building Code, Roofs and Openings

By the county roll, 29 Links homes were completed in 2000 or 2001 and 25 in 2002 or 2003. The statewide Florida Building Code took effect March 1, 2002, as the Florida Housing Finance Corporation's briefing summarizes, but a home's permit date, not its completion year, decides which code applied, so some 2002 homes were permitted under the older rules. For insurance the roof's age and attachment and the protection of the openings drive the premium. A wind mitigation inspection under section 627.0629 documents roof-to-wall connections, roof shape and opening protection, and Citizens' discounts page explains the same credits for its policyholders.

Insuring a Links Home

At The Links the owner insures the whole house, not an interior. The recorded declaration requires every owner to carry insurance "in an amount sufficient to finance the repair or replacement of the improvements on the lot, taking into account local construction costs," to show proof on the association's request, and it lets the association buy coverage and charge the owner if a policy lapses. The association insures only the common areas. Flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program is priced under FEMA's Risk Rating 2.0, and a lender will require it for a home whose structure is in the AH area; outside it, flood coverage is optional but inexpensive in Zone X. Before closing, get quotes on the specific home, with the wind mitigation report and the elevation certificate in hand.

Which Schools Serve The Links at The Strand?

The Links at The Strand is zoned for 2026-2027 to Veterans Memorial Elementary School, North Naples Middle School and Aubrey Rogers High School, per Collier County Public Schools' address database, which returned the same three schools for all 55 Fairway Court addresses; all three earned an A from the state in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Data updated: September 2026

We queried the district's database on September 27, 2026: 55 Fairway Court address records, every one assigned to the same three schools, none flagged for rezoning. Grades are from the CCPS 2026 Accountability Brief of July 1, 2026 and the district's school and district grades page. Aubrey Rogers High opened in August 2023, which is why older Strand listings name a different high school; WGCU reported the opening. Zones change, so confirm any address in the district's public school zone lookup before relying on it.

County Permits and What Is Being Built Near The Links at The Strand

The Links at The Strand sits in a built-out zoning district, the Pelican Strand PUD, with no new homes planned inside the gate. The changes nearby are road projects on The Strand's east and south sides: the I-75 widening, a new I-75 interchange design at Immokalee Road and a planned Livingston Road flyover, all farther from Fairway Court than from the front of the community.

Permits for Work on a Links Home

Any work that touches the structure, the roof, the windows, the pool cage or the mechanical systems of a Links home needs Collier County permits and, under section 6.1 of the declaration, the master association Construction Committee's written approval before it starts. Collier County publishes its monthly building permit reports. A buyer's due diligence should include the home's permit history: roof, pool, cage, window and air conditioning permits, with their dates, tell the true age of the big systems on a 25-year-old house.

The Zoning Around The Links

The Pelican Strand PUD in Ordinance 02-57 caps The Strand at 1,160 dwelling units and 35 feet of residential height, and Collier County's PUD Master List marks it built out. On the aerial, The Links' neighbors are golf holes on the north and south, a lake to the southeast, the Strand Boulevard roadway to the east and a vegetated buffer at the west end of the cul-de-sac. We found no pending rezoning of The Strand itself.

Road Projects South and East of The Strand

FDOT's I-75 widening, project 452544-1, adds express and auxiliary lanes along The Strand's east edge with construction starting from fall 2026, and FDOT's project 454099-1 redesigns the I-75 interchange at Immokalee Road, with construction expected in early 2027. Collier County awarded a design contract for a Livingston Road flyover over Immokalee Road on July 28, 2026, reported by Gulfshore Business. FDOT's 2025 count put I-75 at The Strand at 116,388 vehicles a day (FDOT traffic data). The Links sits at the opposite, northwest corner of the community from the interchange, which is part of what a Links buyer pays for.

Daily Logistics at The Links at The Strand

Daily life at The Links at The Strand runs through The Strand's staffed main gatehouse and the north gate near Fairway Court, with lawn care in the association fee, an eight-hour limit on trucks, boats and trailers outside the garage, and Immokalee Road and I-75 about two miles down Strand Boulevard.

Data updated: September 2026

Gates, Transponders and Guests

The Strand's main gatehouse on Strand Boulevard is staffed, and residents use windshield transponders, $20 each under the master association's form, issued to "residents, members, and approved renters only." The master association's Links page places the north gate within easy reach of Fairway Court. Guests and service providers are sent to the main gate on Strand Boulevard, so a Links host should expect visitors to drive the length of the community.

Parking and Vehicles

The Links declaration keeps the street clear: no boats, trucks, commercial vehicles, trailers, recreational vehicles or any motor vehicle other than a passenger car or van may be parked on a lot outside the garage, or in the common areas, for more than eight hours, except vehicles working on a home or the grounds; vehicle repairs are limited to fully enclosed spaces; and garage doors stay closed. For owners with a boat or a work truck, off-site storage is the plan.

Lawn Care, Trash, Utilities and Mail

The association's landscapers maintain each lot's lawn and landscaping under section 5.1 of the declaration, and the lawns are irrigated to the pavement. Trash must be kept in sanitary containers screened from view and set out only for pickup. All utility lines on the lots are underground, septic tanks are prohibited, and The Strand's bulk Comcast agreement is described on the master association's Comcast page and its October 2021 service letter.

Drive Times

Free-flow times from the OSRM routing engine, measured September 23, 2026 for our Strand guide from the main entrance. The Links sits near the north end of the community, so add up to about 2 miles of interior driving and a few minutes to each figure. NCH North Naples Hospital is licensed for 311 beds per the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration; Collier County has no state-verified trauma center on the Florida Department of Health's trauma center list, and the nearest is in Fort Myers. Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and North Collier Regional Park are the nearest large parks.

How Does The Links at The Strand Compare to the Other Strand Neighborhoods?

The Links at The Strand is The Strand's second-highest-priced neighborhood by five-year MLS median, $1,167,500 across ten sales, behind only the Single Family Homes association at $1,775,000. It is the most active detached neighborhood of the last twelve months, with six closings, and the only one where every home faces a golf hole.

Data updated: September 2026

The Benchmark Table

Yardstick: Southwest Florida MLS Matrix closings, pulled September 26, 2026: five-year median sold price and count, five-year median price per living square foot, and the last twelve months' count; home counts from the master association's 2026 ballot.

Even-count medians are the mean of the two middle values. The Single Family Homes price per square foot rests on 24 sales with a recorded living area (even, the mean of $545.71 and $557.76).

What the Table Says About The Links

Three readings. First, The Links is the step between the villa neighborhoods and the large single-family homes: about $188,000 above Sawgrass and Ana's Place at the five-year median, and about $580,000 below the Single Family Homes association. Second, The Links commands the second-highest price per square foot in The Strand, $425.17, ahead of every villa neighborhood, which is what a golf view on every lot is worth in the record. Third, The Links has been the busiest detached neighborhood of 2026, six closings against four in the 121-home single-family association, so a Links seller today has more fresh comparables than in any recent year. For the full picture of The Strand's fifteen neighborhoods, see our guide to The Strand.

The Links at The Strand vs Mango Cay at The Strand: Which Should You Choose?

The Links at The Strand and Mango Cay at The Strand are The Strand's two single-street neighborhoods of detached pool homes. The Links is 54 golf-front homes on owned lots under a homeowners' association, with no approval needed to sell; Mango Cay is 32 newer villas held as condominium units, with the roof in the Mango Cay II fee and about half the price.

Data updated: September 2026

Sources: the Links declaration and both Mango Cay declarations via the Collier County Clerk; the master association's Links page and Mango Cay page; Collier County Property Appraiser 2026 preliminary roll; Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 26, 2026. Our full Mango Cay at The Strand guide covers the condominium side in depth.

Who Should Choose Which

Choose The Links if you want to own your lot outright, a golf view from every home, room to grow to four bedrooms plus a den and 3,300 square feet, no association approval to buy, sell or lease, no weight limit on your dog, and a quiet cul-de-sac at the north end near the clubhouse. Accept in return the higher price, a roof and exterior that are yours to maintain and insure, a 2000 to 2003 house whose systems you should check one by one, and a flood-zone question on a handful of mid-street lots.

Choose Mango Cay if you want a detached pool home in The Strand at roughly half the price, a newer villa built after the 2002 statewide code, and a fee that at Mango Cay II covers the roof and exterior paint. Accept in return condominium approvals for every sale and lease, a one-year minimum lease at Mango Cay II, a 30-pound pet limit and a front-of-community location near I-75.

Honest Pros and Cons of Owning at The Links at The Strand

The Links at The Strand's strengths are a golf view from every home, owned lots with no sale approval, lawn care in the fee, full-time neighbors and fast recent sales. Its weaknesses are a top-tier price, owner-maintained roofs on 25-year-old houses, an unpublished fee, a partly mapped flood zone and a long drive from the main gate.

The Case For The Links

• The view is on every lot. Every one of the 54 homes faces Savannah hole 4, 5 or 6, per the master association, and homes on the south side also look across a lake.
• You own the land. Fee-simple lots under a Chapter 720 association, with no approval to buy or sell and no condominium paperwork for a lender.
• The lawn is someone else's job. The declaration puts each lot's lawn and landscaping in the association fee.
• A private pool at every home. 54 of 54 lots carry a pool on the county roll, 40 a spa.
• Full-time neighbors. 36 of 54 homes carry a homestead exemption on the 2026 roll.
• Quiet location. A dead-end cul-de-sac in the northwest corner, the far side of The Strand from I-75 and Immokalee Road, with easy access to the clubhouse and the north gate.
• The market is moving. Six MLS closings in twelve months, a median of 0 days on market across the five marketed sales, and a full-price, no-days sale at $1,595,000.
• Flexible leasing within limits. 30-day minimum, up to three leases a year, no tenant pre-approval under the Links declaration.
• No CDD. The Strand carries no community development district assessment.

The Case Against The Links

• Price. A five-year median of $1,167,500 and a 2026 range of $925,000 to $1,595,000; the step up from Sawgrass or Ana's Place is about $188,000 at the five-year median.
• Your roof, your paint, your insurance. Unlike Mango Cay II, the declaration puts the roof, the exterior and the whole-house policy on the owner.
• Age. Homes completed from 2000 to 2003, many before the March 2002 statewide building code; check the roof, windows and systems one by one.
• An unpublished fee. Neither the Links assessment nor the master assessment is published; the estoppel certificate is the only firm number.
• A partly mapped flood zone. Six of 55 address points fall in Zone AH on the effective FEMA map, even though the preliminary map shows all of Fairway Court as unshaded Zone X.
• Golf-course living. Balls, mowers at dawn and the maintenance schedule come with the view.
• The drive out. About two miles of interior driving to Immokalee Road, and guests are sent to the main gate.
• Thin comparables. Ten MLS sales in five years; a single sale moves any Links average.

Who The Links Is Right For

The Links is right for a buyer who wants a detached pool home on the golf course, full-time or seasonal, with the lawn handled and the freedom to sell or lease without an association's permission, and who will pay for that at the upper end of The Strand's market. It is less right for a buyer on a villa budget, a buyer who wants the roof in the fee, or a buyer who plans a nightly or weekly rental.

Links Sales: The Five-Year Window

Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, closings September 27, 2021 to September 26, 2026, pulled September 26, 2026. In the last 12 months The Links has seen 6 resales, under our ten-sale threshold, so the window widens: 24 and 36 months hold 7 and 8 sales, and 60 months hold exactly 10, the first window with ten or more. The pull did not record listing offices, so we do not state how many we represented.

• Count: 10 closings in five years; 6 in the last twelve months.
• Dollar volume: $11,539,000 across the ten.
• Median sold price: $1,167,500 (n=10, even, the mean of $1,135,000 and $1,200,000).
• Days on market: median 7 across the nine sales with a marketing period; three sold with 0 days.
• Sale-to-list: median 100.00% (both middle ratios 100.00%); mean of the ten ratios 97.13%; six at full price.
• Last twelve months: median $1,265,000 (n=6, even, the mean of $1,200,000 and $1,330,000), median 0 days on market.

The Collier County sales file tells the same story over a longer span: 13 qualified sales in the 72 months to August 28, 2026, from $550,000 in 2020 to $1,595,000 in 2026.

Selling a Links Home Is Different in Six Ways

• No association approval. The Links declaration says "There shall be no restrictions on transfers of Lots," so a sale needs no approval, only notice to the association; the contract calendar is yours and the buyer's.
• Signs follow the master's guidelines. After the developer era, the declaration allows only "For Sale" signs that meet the master association's guidelines, so buyers are reached online and through agents before they reach the gate.
• Two estoppel certificates. One from the Links association and one from the master association; order both the day the contract is signed.
• The disclosure summary. Florida's section 720.401 requires a homeowners' association disclosure summary with the contract; we prepare it at listing.
• The flood answer, up front. With six mid-street address points in Zone AH on the effective map, we pull the elevation certificate and the flood determination before launch, so the lender's question has an answer on day one.
• The view is the product. Your buyer compares your home with the 2026 sales by plan and by hole, not with the Strand median; we put that table in the listing, and we shoot the fairway at golden hour.

What Is Your Links at The Strand Home Worth? Get a Free Valuation in 60 Seconds.

Start with a free Links home valuation. It takes about a minute, and Jesse follows up with the Links sales that fit your home: same plan and story count, same side of the street, adjusted for the hole and lake view, the pool and cage, the roof's age, impact openings and interior updates. An automated estimate cannot see that one Links home faces a Savannah green and the next faces a lake, or that the last $1,595,000 list price produced three different results. We price to the record, and our full seller process is on selling your home in The Strand.

(239) 898-6072, text or call. Confidential conversations welcome. Few Links homes come up, so the next owner who sells should call us first.

Is now a good time to sell a Links home?

For a home priced to its plan's recorded sales, yes. On September 26, 2026 there was one active Links listing and one pending, three of the six sales of the last twelve months closed with 0 days on market, and listing in the fall reaches the winter buyers who tour The Strand from December to April (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix).

How should I price against the $1,595,000 sales?

Carefully. Three Links homes listed at $1,595,000 in the last twelve months: one sold at that price with no days on market, one sold at $1,500,000 with no days on market, and one sold at $1,330,000 after 88 days. The first was a four-bedroom plan of 2,745 square feet; plan, story count and view explain most of the spread.

Do I need the association's approval to sell?

No. Section 10.3 of the recorded Links declaration says "There shall be no restrictions on transfers of Lots," and asks only that the association be notified of the transfer. The master association's rules and the transponder process still apply to the new owner.

Can I put a For Sale sign in front of my home?

Only one that meets the master association's guidelines. Section 7.7 of the Links declaration limits signs, and after the developer era allows only "For Sale" signs meeting those guidelines; we confirm the current standard before we order one.

How many estoppel certificates does a Links sale need?

Two in most cases: the Links association's and The Strand master association's. Each states what is owed and any special assessment adopted, under section 720.30851, and the Links certificate should confirm that the master share is included in the Links bill.

Will a buyer ask about the flood zone?

Yes, and the answer depends on the home. Most Fairway Court address points are Zone X on FEMA's effective map, six are Zone AH, and the preliminary maps put all of them in unshaded Zone X. An elevation certificate settles it for your home; we order one before listing if you do not have one.

Frequently Asked Questions, Buyer Edition

These Links at The Strand buyer questions are answered from the recorded Links declaration, the master association's published pages, Collier County, state, federal and FEMA records, and the Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 26, 2026. Each answer names its source; where the record stops, we say so.

What is The Links at The Strand?

A neighborhood of 54 detached single-family pool homes on Fairway Court in The Strand, a gated golf community in North Naples, governed by The Links at The Strand Homeowner's Association under a declaration recorded March 22, 2000 (O.R. 2654, Page 0059).

Where exactly is The Links?

In the northwest corner of The Strand, on Fairway Court, a cul-de-sac that runs west from Strand Boulevard near the north end of the community, ZIP 34110, north of Immokalee Road and west of I-75 in North Naples.

Are Links homes single-family homes or villas?

Both words are used. The master association calls them "free-standing, one or two story, single family villas"; legally they are detached single-family homes on their own platted lots, owned in fee simple, not condominium units.

How many homes are in The Links?

Fifty-four, per the master association, the 2026 ballot (54 votes) and the county roll (54 residential lots, Block 12, Lots 1 to 54). The county roll also lists a street tract owned by the association and one small tract owned by the club's owner.

Who built The Links?

The declarant was The Links at the Strand Development Corporation, joined by The Strand, Ltd., the master developer; the county record shows that corporation taking the lots as vacant land and selling the finished homes from 2000 to 2003. The records we read name no separate builder brand.

When were the Links homes built?

From 2000 to 2003 by the county roll: 2 homes in 2000, 27 in 2001, 13 in 2002 and 12 in 2003.

How big are Links homes?

The ten Links homes sold on the MLS since 2022 had 2,091 to 3,300 square feet of living area; the active and pending listings on September 26, 2026 had 2,533 and 2,472. Lots run 0.17 to 0.28 acres on the county roll.

Do all Links homes have pools?

Yes, by the county record: all 54 lots carry a pool on the 2026 preliminary roll, and 40 also carry a spa.

Are Links homes one story or two?

Both; the master association describes "one or two story" homes. Neither the MLS pull nor the county roll marks story count directly, so we confirm it home by home from the listing and the floor plan.

Which golf holes do Links homes face?

Savannah holes 4, 5 and 6. "All of the Links homes have direct golf course views of either the 4th, 5th or 6th holes of the Savannah golf course," per the master association, and homes on the south side also have water views.

Links homes for sale: what is available now?

On September 26, 2026 one Links home was active, a three-bedroom-plus-den of 2,533 square feet at $1,325,000, and one was pending at a $1,295,000 list price (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix). Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 for today's list.

What have Links homes sold for recently?

Six sold in the last twelve months, from $925,000 to $1,595,000, at a median of $1,265,000 (even count, the mean of $1,200,000 and $1,330,000). Over five years, ten sold at a median of $1,167,500 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix, pulled September 26, 2026).

What are the HOA fees at The Links?

The amount is not published. The recorded declaration says the quarterly assessment pays for the common areas, each lot's lawn and landscaping, minor driveway repair, management, insurance and reserves, and the master association's share, which the Links association collects and remits. The estoppel certificate states the current figure.

Does the Links fee include the roof?

No. Section 5.2 of the declaration makes the owner responsible for "painting and repair of roof, gutters, down spouts, and exterior building surfaces," the pool and its enclosure.

Does the Links fee include lawn care?

Yes. Section 5.1 of the declaration has the association assess each lot "for the maintenance of the lawn and landscaping on their Lots."

Is Club at The Strand membership mandatory at The Links?

Yes. The club's 2026 Membership Brochure makes Social membership mandatory for every Strand homeowner, with no initiation fee and $4,162 in 2026 dues; golf and sport memberships are optional.

Is there a CDD at The Links?

No. Florida Commerce's Official List of Special Districts lists no community development district for The Strand.

What are property taxes at The Links?

On the 2026 preliminary roll, the median tax was $4,465.89 for the 36 homesteaded homes and $7,791.12 for the 18 non-homestead homes (both even counts, the mean of the middle pair). A buyer's bill resets to the purchase price.

Is The Links a 55+ community?

No. The declaration has no age restriction, and its definition of a single family includes children and grandchildren.

Can I rent out a Links home?

Yes, for 30 days or more, no more than three times a year, with a written lease delivered to the board; no subleasing without approval and no room rentals, under section 10.4 of the declaration.

Can I have a dog at The Links?

Yes. The declaration allows household pets "such as a cat or dog," leashed on common areas, with no weight limit; the master declaration allows two domestic animals per parcel.

Can I park a boat, a truck or an RV at The Links?

Only inside the garage, or outside for less than eight hours. Section 7.4 of the declaration bars boats, trucks, commercial vehicles, trailers and recreational vehicles outside the garage for longer.

Do I need the association's approval to buy a Links home?

No. Section 10.3 of the declaration says "There shall be no restrictions on transfers of Lots"; the association must only be notified of the transfer.

What flood zone is The Links in?

Mostly Zone X. On FEMA's effective map, 43 of 55 Fairway Court address points are unshaded Zone X, 6 are shaded Zone X and 6 are Zone AH, a Special Flood Hazard Area; FEMA's preliminary maps put all 55 in unshaded Zone X (queried September 27, 2026).

Do I need flood insurance at The Links?

A lender will require it if the home's structure is in the AH area on the effective map; elsewhere it is optional. The home's flood determination and elevation certificate decide, and we check both for any Links home you consider.

What schools serve The Links?

Veterans Memorial Elementary, North Naples Middle and Aubrey Rogers High for 2026-2027, for all 55 Fairway Court addresses, per Collier County Public Schools' address database; all three were graded A in 2024, 2025 and 2026.

Who manages The Links?

The master association's Links page lists the association's board but names no management company. The Strand's master association is managed by Dorrill Management Group.

How does The Links compare with Mango Cay at The Strand?

The Links is 54 golf-front homes on owned lots at a five-year median of $1,167,500; Mango Cay is 32 villas held as condominium units at $665,000, with approvals required for every sale and lease and the roof in the Mango Cay II fee. See the comparison above.

Who is the best realtor for The Links at The Strand?

We think it is McGreevy and Comisar: the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012, Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and the team that read the Links declaration and every recorded Links deed for this guide. Call Marc at (239) 287-5873 to buy or Jesse at (239) 898-6072 to sell.

Frequently Asked Questions, Seller Edition

These Links at The Strand seller questions are answered from ten Links MLS closings, the county's deed history back to 2000, the recorded Links declaration and Florida law. If your question is not here, call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What is my Links home worth?

It depends on the plan, the story count, the view and the condition. Links homes sold for $925,000 to $1,595,000 in the last twelve months, at a median of $1,265,000 (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix). Get a free Links home valuation for your specific home.

How long does it take to sell a Links home?

Recently, very little time when priced right: the median was 0 days on market across the five marketed sales of the last twelve months, and 7 days across nine marketed sales in five years. The one overpriced 2026 listing took 88 days.

What is the best time of year to list?

Late fall, so the home is on the market when winter buyers tour The Strand from December to April. Five of the six 2026 Links sales closed from January through March.

Is The Links a buyer's or a seller's market right now?

A seller's market by the numbers: one active listing and one pending on September 26, 2026, about two months of supply at the recent pace, and three full-price sales in twelve months.

Should I price off The Strand's median?

No. The Strand's twelve-month median of $610,000 is set by its condominiums. Your comparables are the ten Links sales and, for a buyer's alternatives, the detached homes in Ana's Place, Sawgrass and the Single Family Homes association.

Why did three homes listed at $1,595,000 sell so differently?

Plan, view and timing. One four-bedroom home sold at $1,595,000 with no days on market; one sold at $1,500,000 with no days on market; and one sold at $1,330,000 after 88 days. The list price was the same; the homes were not.

Does a four-bedroom plan sell for more?

On the record, yes per square foot: the two four-bedroom homes of about 2,730 square feet sold at $476.71 and $581.06 per square foot, among the highest Links figures, while the one 3,300 square foot home sold at $363.64.

Do I need the association's approval to sell?

No. The recorded declaration says "There shall be no restrictions on transfers of Lots"; you notify the association of the transfer.

Can I put up a For Sale sign?

Only a sign that meets the master association's guidelines, under section 7.7 of the Links declaration. We confirm the current standard before ordering one.

Can I hold an open house at The Links?

Visitors must pass The Strand's staffed gatehouse, so an open house is arranged through the gate's guest process rather than advertised as walk-in. Most Links buyers see a home by private appointment.

How many estoppel certificates does a sale need?

Two in most cases: the Links association's and the master association's, under section 720.30851 of the Florida Statutes.

Who pays the estoppel fees?

The contract decides; on the standard Florida contracts the seller commonly orders and pays for the estoppel certificates. Section 720.30851 caps the fee an association may charge.

What documents must I give a Links buyer?

The homeowners' association disclosure summary required by section 720.401 of the Florida Statutes, plus the seller's property disclosures. We also hand buyers the declaration, the current rules, the fee statement and the home's permit and flood records.

Will buyers ask about the flood zone?

Yes. Six of 55 Fairway Court address points are in Zone AH on the effective FEMA map, though the preliminary maps show all of them in unshaded Zone X. An elevation certificate answers the question for your home; order one before listing.

Should I get a wind mitigation inspection before listing?

Yes. It documents the roof attachment, roof shape and opening protection that set a buyer's insurance premium under section 627.0629, and a good report is a selling point for a 2000 to 2003 house.

What should I fix before listing?

Anything a buyer's insurer or inspector will flag: an aging roof, a failing pool cage, older windows without impact protection, and the pool equipment. Cosmetic work matters less than a clean inspection on a golf-front home at this price.

Does my roof's age matter?

A great deal, because at The Links the roof is the owner's, not the association's, and a buyer's insurer will price it. Have the roof permit date ready; we pull the county permit history for every listing.

Do I owe anything to the association when I sell?

Any unpaid assessments, which the estoppel certificate lists. The buyer, not the seller, typically pays the initial capital assessment, which the 2000 bylaws set at $500 per site; confirm today's figure with the association.

What does it cost to sell a Links home?

The commission, Florida documentary stamp tax of $0.70 per $100 of price on the deed, the owner's title policy where the contract assigns it to the seller, estoppel fees, prorated taxes and assessments, and any repairs agreed with the buyer.

Is the commission negotiable?

Yes, always. We explain exactly what our marketing plan includes, and what it costs, before you sign a listing agreement.

How do the club dues affect my sale?

Every buyer inherits the mandatory Social membership at $4,162 for 2026, with no initiation for Strand homeowners, so the club is a fixed cost buyers compare across communities. A golf membership, if you hold one, does not transfer automatically; the club's brochure sets its terms.

What is The Links' recent price trend?

Up sharply. County qualified sales ran at medians of $799,000 in 2022 and $935,000 in 2023, then $1,300,000 in 2025 and $1,415,000 on four sales in 2026 through August (Collier County Property Appraiser sales file).

Why did a Links home sell off the MLS in 2024?

The county recorded a qualified $1,128,000 sale in February 2024 that never appeared in the MLS, which means buyer and seller found each other privately. We offer the same discretion when you want it, with a full market check first.

How is my property tax prorated at closing?

Collier County taxes are paid in arrears, so the seller credits the buyer for the days of the year the seller owned the home, based on the latest bill or the current estimate.

How do I compare my home with Ana's Place and Sawgrass listings?

By price per living square foot and product: The Links' five-year median is $425.17 per square foot, against $362.14 at Ana's Place and $365.36 at Sawgrass (Southwest Florida MLS Matrix). The golf view on every Links lot is the difference buyers pay for.

Can I sell with a tenant in place?

Yes, subject to the lease. Links leases run at least 30 days, so a buyer can close with a tenant in place, but showings and possession dates must follow the lease terms.

Can an out-of-state owner sell a Links home remotely?

Yes. Twelve of the 54 Links owners have a mailing address outside Florida on the 2026 roll, and we handle remote listings routinely, with electronic signing and a local closing agent.

What happens if my Links home does not sell?

We review price, presentation and feedback every two weeks. The 2026 record shows that a Links home priced to its comparables sells quickly, so a stalled listing is almost always a price conversation.

Should I sell to an investor who calls me directly?

Get a market valuation first. Direct offers are rarely at market on a neighborhood this thin, and The Links' 2026 sales show buyers paying full price for well-presented homes.

Does the Links' location near the north gate help my sale?

For many buyers, yes: the master association notes easy access from Fairway Court to the clubhouse and the north gate, and the cul-de-sac sits at the far corner of The Strand from I-75 and the Immokalee Road interchange work.

Why list with McGreevy and Comisar?

Because we are the #1 team in Southwest Florida since 2012 and Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, and we built this guide from the Links declaration and every recorded Links deed. We price to that record and market to the buyers who want a golf view.

Should I call you before I decide to sell?

Yes. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a confidential conversation about timing, price and what to fix, with no obligation to list.

Can you sell my Links home off-market?

Yes. We can market a Links home privately to our qualified-buyer database before, or instead of, a public listing, and tell you honestly when the public market would pay more.
