Verona Walk

Updated September 2026 · Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar, Domain Realty

McGreevy and Comisar are the team Verona Walk sellers call first, and the team buyers call when they want the public record read to them straight. Jesse McGreevy and Marc Comisar lead Domain Realty Group, the #1 Team in Southwest Florida since 2012, and are Top 1% Real Estate Agents Nationally Since 2008, with over $900 million in personal sales between them. Verona Walk is a gated, lakefront master-planned community of 1,920 homes in Naples, Florida. It sits on the east side of Collier Boulevard in unincorporated Collier County, ZIP 34114, and its association and builder spell it VeronaWalk.

DiVosta Homes, a Pulte company, began marketing Verona Walk in September 2003, and almost every home sits on a lake peninsula joined to a central Town Center by walkways and Venetian-style bridges. The VeronaWalk Homeowners Association says 90 percent of the dwellings sit along its inland waterways. The Town Center belongs to the association, so there is no club to join and no initiation fee; it holds two pools, six pickleball courts, a restaurant and a post office. Verona Walk is not a 55-plus community: its recorded Declaration of Covenants has no age restriction, and the association describes the community as open to all ages. Every home also pays the Verona Walk Community Development District, $744.85 to $992.85 a year depending on the home type ($233.85 on the 46 homes whose debt is prepaid), per the district’s adopted budget for fiscal 2026/27.

We built this guide the way we price a listing here: from the recorded Declaration and its amendments, the district’s budgets, audit and bond table, Collier County’s 2026 parcel roll and zoning layers, the 19 recorded plats, FEMA’s flood records and the builder’s own archived pages.

Key Takeaways

Verona Walk is a gated DiVosta community of 1,920 homes in Naples where the public record answers most buyer questions directly. These eight facts matter most: who can live here, what the amenities cost, what the two assessments add up to, what the flood maps say, and which schools serve every address.

• 1,920 homes, about 944 attached and about 976 detached, all fee simple. The association, the Verona Walk Community Development District’s budget and Collier County’s 2026 roll all count 1,920; the attached and detached split comes from our analysis of the county’s 2025 building-footprint map.
• Verona Walk is not a 55-plus community. Its recorded Declaration contains no age restriction, and the association describes the community as open to all ages.
• The Town Center, pools and courts belong to the homeowners association. Membership in the association comes with the deed under Declaration Section 3.2, so there is no club to join, no initiation fee and no equity membership.
• Every home pays the Verona Walk CDD: $744.85 to $992.85 a year by home type, or $233.85 on the 46 prepaid homes. The district’s refinanced bonds mature through 2035 and 2037, and its FY2025 audit shows $8,874,000 outstanding at September 30, 2025.
• The association’s own assessment is not published. Buyers also pay a one-time resale capital contribution of one quarter of the annual assessment for the home type bought.
• On FEMA’s 2024 map nearly every lot is in Zone AH or AE, but FEMA has amended whole phases and 121 more structures. Builder-era Letters of Map Amendment were revalidated in 2024, and 120 of the 2024 structure amendments placed the home in Zone X.
• Every address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High. All 43 addresses we tested in the district’s own school-zone lookup returned the same three schools for both 2025-26 and 2026-27.
• There is no golf course inside Verona Walk. There are six pickleball courts, per the resident Pickleball Club, and eight lighted tennis courts per the builder’s 2012 amenity list; the association has not published a current tennis count.

What Is It Like to Live in Verona Walk as a Homebuyer?

Living in Verona Walk means a gated, lakefront community in unincorporated East Naples where about 90 percent of homes sit on water, walkways and Venetian-style bridges lead to a Town Center with a restaurant, post office and pools, and there is no club to join. Verona Walk is open to all ages and is not golf-oriented.

Verona Walk’s daily rhythm is set by its plan. DiVosta laid the community out as a ring of lake peninsulas around a central Town Center, the same lakes-and-bridges idea the builder had used at its two earlier Walk communities in Collier County, and the association still describes the result in the builder’s terms: “miles and miles of private lakefront peninsulas” joined by “a beautiful Venetian-style bridge and walkway system,” per the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association (read September 23, 2026).

Where Verona Walk sits in Naples

Verona Walk sits on the east side of Collier Boulevard (County Road 951) in unincorporated Collier County, ZIP 34114. Its main gate, at VeronaWalk Boulevard, is about 1.9 road miles north of US 41 (Tamiami Trail East), measured on Collier County’s road centerline layer. The community’s southern edge is about 0.6 mile north of that intersection, with the Winding Cypress community in between. Sabal Palm Road forms the northern boundary.

No city limit touches Verona Walk. On the county’s city-limits layer, the nearest municipal boundary, the City of Naples, is about 5.9 miles from the edge of the community, and the City of Marco Island is about 7.1 miles away. That matters in practice: Collier County, not a city, handles zoning, permits and building inspections here, and the county’s fire district map places Verona Walk in the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District.

The drive to the rest of Naples is a straight run up or down Collier Boulevard. From the Town Center at 8090 Sorrento Lane, Interstate 75 at Exit 101 is about 5.9 miles and 11 minutes, the Naples Pier about 11.1 miles and 23 minutes, and Physicians Regional Medical Center on Collier Boulevard about 2 miles and 5 minutes, per free-flow routing on the OSRM routing engine (September 23, 2026). In-season traffic is longer.

A gated, all-ages community by covenant

Verona Walk’s Declaration, recorded February 23, 2004 at Official Records Book 3506, Page 903, contains no housing-for-older-persons provision, and none of the amendments the association posts adds one. Its Section 8.2(S) restricts homes to single-family residential use and expressly contemplates leasing a home to a single family. The association’s own 2024 request for restaurant proposals describes Verona Walk as “non-age restricted” and “family-oriented.”

Verona Walk is gated: the association says the main entrance on VeronaWalk Boulevard is staffed 24 hours a day, and a second gate at the south end appears as a separate address point on Collier County’s site address layer. How the south gate operates is not published.

Life on the lake peninsulas

Water shapes almost every lot. The association says 90 percent of the dwellings are located on its “sparkling inland waterways” and that the community offers “water views from almost every home.” The Verona Walk Community Development District’s 2006 engineer’s report measured 177.5 acres of lakes inside the district’s 760 acres, 23.4 percent of the land, and in 2006 the builder’s sales vice president told the Naples Daily News that “the land plan of the community has been designed so that essentially every home has a lake view” (Naples Daily News, May 28, 2006).

Those lakes are working infrastructure as well as scenery. They are the community’s stormwater system, owned and maintained by the district, and the district’s budget is spent almost entirely on them: lake spraying, lake bank mowing, storm pipe inspections, littoral plantings and water-quality testing, per the district’s fiscal 2025/26 budget. The Declaration calls the lakes “primarily aesthetic amenities” and puts fishing, boating and swimming under the board’s rules; whether fishing or kayaking is allowed today is set by the board’s rules, which are not public.

The walkways are the other half of the plan. The association describes lighted walkways “ideal for walking, biking, rollerblading and running,” and the builder’s 2012 feature list led with “Miles of Walkways & Venetian-style Bridges” (DiVosta, captured April 21, 2012). No public record measures the total length.

The Town Center as the center of daily life

The Town Center is where Verona Walk’s errands, exercise and social life meet. The association lists “our offices, game rooms, grand ballroom, function rooms, library equipped with two computer stations” behind a landmark clock tower, and its 2024 request for proposals adds a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, bocce and basketball courts, a playground, a travel agency, a hair salon, an ice cream and coffee shop, a gas station, “a federally contracted post office,” a resort-style pool, a lap pool and “a full-service restaurant and bar” as the centerpiece. The Town Center Shops page lists the post office counter open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays with a resident mailbox area open around the clock.

The Town Center sits on an 8.9-acre parcel owned by the homeowners association; it is not a separately owned club. Membership in the association is automatic with the deed under Declaration Section 3.2, and the association owns and controls the common area under Section 4.1. The builder sold it that way from the start: in 2006 DiVosta advertised “resort style living with no additional membership fees” (DiVosta, captured March 24, 2006). The Declaration does let the board charge reasonable user fees for particular facilities (Section 8.2).

Year-round owners and seasonal homes

Verona Walk is a mix of permanent residents and seasonal owners, and the public record measures the homes rather than the people. About 57 percent of Verona Walk homes carry a Florida homestead exemption on the 2026 roll, which an owner can claim only on a permanent residence, per Collier County’s 2026 preliminary parcel roll. On Census Day 2020, 429 of the 1,920 housing units in the Verona Walk census area, about 22 percent, were vacant because they were held for seasonal or occasional use, per the Census Bureau’s 2020 Demographic and Housing Characteristics file.

The 2020 Census counted 2,713 residents in the Verona Walk census-designated place, up from 1,782 in 2010, when the community was still being built, per the 2020 redistricting file. The census area is a statistical boundary drawn around the community, and the Census counts people where they usually live, so seasonal owners are not included. The association puts the community at about 3,700 residents. In practice that means a fuller Town Center calendar from about November to April and a quieter summer.

What Verona Walk does not have

A buyer should know the absences as clearly as the amenities. There is no golf course inside Verona Walk: none of the 19 recorded Verona Walk plats contains a golf tract, which we confirmed against every parcel on Collier County’s roll. There is no marina, no boat access to the Gulf and no beach inside the gates; the lakes are stormwater lakes. There are no condominiums: every home is a fee-simple home on its own platted lot. And there is no club corporation, no initiation fee and no equity membership, because the amenities belong to the homeowners association.

Verona Walk is also not a new-construction community today. DiVosta was still introducing floor plans in 2013, residents took control of the association in spring 2014, and every lot on the roll now carries a home. A Verona Walk purchase is a resale purchase, which puts the weight on the documents a seller provides: the estoppel certificate, the district’s payoff figure, the flood determination for the lot and the association’s approval.

What Is the Verona Walk Real Estate Market Doing Right Now?

Verona Walk’s 2026 county assessments show a two-tier market: attached villas and townhomes cluster between $350,000 and $450,000 of just value, and detached homes between $500,000 and $800,000. Twelve-month sale prices, days to contract and sale-to-list ratios come from the Southwest Florida MLS and are shown in the tables below.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, pulled 24 Sep 2026; Collier County 2026 preliminary tax roll, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

Two different records describe a housing market, and this section keeps them apart. County roll figures and MLS figures measure different things: the county values every home as of January 1, while the MLS records only the homes that sold, at their contract price, and measures living area rather than the county’s total area under roof. The two sets of numbers should never be compared directly. Every county figure below is labeled as the 2026 Collier County preliminary roll, just value, and none of them is a sale price.

What Collier County’s 2026 roll says about Verona Walk values

On Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll, the median just value of all 1,920 Verona Walk homes is $439,340, per the county’s parcel roll service (retrieved September 24, 2026). Just value is the county’s estimate of market value as of January 1, 2026; it is not a sale price and it is not what any home is listed for. With 1,920 homes, an even count, the median is the mean of the two middle values.

The range runs from $347,824 at the low end to $866,934 at the top. Together, the 1,920 homes carry a total just value of about $938.8 million on the preliminary roll. Because one builder built every home in phases from 2004 under one set of covenants, the spread is driven by product type, lot size and lot class rather than age.

Attached versus detached: two markets in one community

Verona Walk is two markets under one name: attached paired villas and two-story townhomes, and detached single-family homes.

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary roll, just value as of January 1, 2026, ParcelJoin service, retrieved September 24, 2026. Attached and detached are from our analysis of the county’s 2025 building-footprint map: a home sharing a building with another home parcel is counted as attached. Every median with an even count is the mean of the two middle values. These are assessments, not sale prices.

The gap between the two medians, about $173,000, is the single most useful fact for a Verona Walk buyer or seller. When you read any Verona Walk price, the first question is which product it describes.

Value bands and the top of the market

The roll sorts Verona Walk into four clear bands, and every home valued at $600,000 and above is detached.

Source: Collier County 2026 preliminary roll, just value, ParcelJoin service, retrieved September 24, 2026; attached and detached from the county’s 2025 building footprints. Not sale prices.

The top of the market is concentrated in a few places. Of the 192 homes in the community’s top value decile (just values of about $676,000 and up), 47 are in Phase 4C, 30 are among the 32 estate homesites on the Karina Court 2nd Replat, and 8 of the 9 homes on the Verducci Court Replat are there too; the rest are spread across the larger detached plats. The bottom decile, just values of about $348,000 to $369,000, is led by the two-story townhomes of the Townhomes 1 plat. The plat-by-plat table in the home-types section later in this guide gives the median for each of the 19 recorded plats.

Property taxes on the 2026 roll

The median total 2026 property tax on a Verona Walk home, on the county’s preliminary roll, is $3,981.23 across all 1,920 homes (an even count), per the county’s ParcelJoin service. Every Verona Walk parcel carries the same ad valorem rate on that roll: 10.4020 mills, made up of 3.9293 county, 4.1470 school and 2.3257 for other districts. Those are the rates on the 2026 TRIM notices; final rates are set at September hearings and appear on the November bill.

A tax figure for a specific home depends on its taxable value after exemptions, and on whether the current owner has a homestead exemption whose assessment cap resets when the home sells, under the rules the Florida Department of Revenue publishes. A buyer’s first-year tax bill is usually higher than a long-held seller’s, because the assessed value is reset toward just value on the sale. The Verona Walk Community Development District’s assessment is a separate, non-ad valorem line on the same bill, $744.85 to $992.85 a year, and the Fee Stack section of this guide breaks every line out.

How the Census counts Verona Walk

The Census Bureau draws a census-designated place around Verona Walk, which makes it one of the few Naples communities with its own federal statistics. The 2020 Census counted 1,920 housing units there, the same 1,920 homes the association and the county count, and 2,713 residents, per the 2020 redistricting file. Of the occupied homes, 1,237 were owner-occupied and 191 renter-occupied, per the 2020 Demographic and Housing Characteristics file, and 429 homes were vacant because they were held for seasonal or occasional use.

Census figures describe homes and households on one day in April 2020. They are useful for the ownership mix, a community where owners far outnumber renters, and for the seasonal share. They are not a price record, and this guide does not use the Census Bureau’s survey-based home-value estimates, which are self-reported by owners, pooled over five years and carry a wide margin of error.

The twelve-month MLS picture

The Southwest Florida MLS is the record of what Verona Walk homes actually sold for, how long they took and how close they came to asking price. The tables below carry the trailing twelve months of closed sales, split into attached and detached homes wherever the count allows, and the current active listings with months of inventory.

Data updated: September 2026 (Southwest Florida MLS, Development: Verona Walk, pulled 24 Sep 2026; trailing 12 months = sales closed September 24, 2025 to September 24, 2026)

Verona Walk recorded 97 closed sales in the trailing 12 months, at a median of $494,000 and $306.19 per square foot of living area, with a median of 53 days on market and 96.3% of list price, per the Southwest Florida MLS. Attached and detached homes are split by Collier County’s 2025 building footprints rather than by the listing label, because 13 paired villas sold in the last four years were listed as single-family homes.

Each median is the middle sale of its group; where the count is even, as with the 40 detached homes, it is the midpoint of the two middle sales, and both are shown. Price per square foot is each sale price divided by the MLS living area, then the median of those ratios.

The year before, for comparison. In the prior 12 months, September 24, 2024 to September 23, 2025, Verona Walk recorded 89 closed sales. Closings rose to 97 this year and the median time on market fell from 75 to 53 days. Attached homes sold for less, a median of $440,000 against $470,000, while detached homes held level at $705,000 against $696,250.

One prior-year attached sale was entered into the MLS after closing and carries no days-on-market or list figure, so those two medians use 88 sales overall and 48 attached.

Four calendar years of Verona Walk sales. Detached medians peaked in 2023 and have eased since, while attached medians fell furthest in 2025, per the same Southwest Florida MLS search.

What is for sale now. On September 24, 2026, 21 Verona Walk homes were active on the Southwest Florida MLS and 9 more were pending.

Months of supply is the number of active listings divided by the average number of closings per month over the last 12 months. At 1.5 months, attached sellers face far less competition than detached sellers at 4.2.

How Did Verona Walk Come to Be?

Verona Walk was developed by DiVosta Homes, a Pulte company, on part of the Winding Cypress planned development that Collier County approved in 1999. DiVosta began selling in September 2003, the association and the Verona Walk Community Development District were created in 2004, and residents took control of the association from the developer in spring 2014.

Data updated: September 2026 (recorded Declaration and amendments, Collier County zoning layer, dated news and builder archive captures, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

The Winding Cypress approval, 1999 to 2002

The land under Verona Walk was entitled before DiVosta sold a single home. On December 14, 1999, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners adopted the Winding Cypress Planned Unit Development by Ordinance 99-93 and approved the Winding Cypress Development of Regional Impact by Resolution 99-467, per the zoning history the county records on its zoning layer. The PUD was amended by Ordinance 02-35 on June 25, 2002, and the DRI development order was amended the same year. A Development of Regional Impact is Florida’s review process for projects large enough to affect more than one county, under Chapter 380 of the Florida Statutes.

The Declaration that DiVosta recorded in 2004 says as much in its recitals: the Verona Walk lands “comprise a portion of the planned, multi-stage Winding Cypress Development of Regional Impact,” to be developed incrementally under the county’s development order, per the recorded Declaration. The legal description that later became the Verona Walk Community Development District was surveyed by the engineering firm WilsonMiller in September 2001 and revised through June 2003, per Exhibit A to Collier County Ordinance 04-27.

DiVosta, Pulte and the Walk communities

DiVosta Homes built Verona Walk. The initial developer was DiVosta and Company, Inc., a Florida corporation, which merged on December 31, 2003 into DiVosta Homes, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership whose general partner was DiVosta Homes Holdings, LLC; the Articles of Merger are recorded at Official Records Book 3476, Page 634, as recited in the association’s posted amendment packet. Builder closings in Verona Walk were recorded in the name of DiVosta Homes Holdings, LLC as partner.

DiVosta belonged to Pulte. The builder’s own 2007 corporate page said DiVosta had built more than 25,000 homes in 44 years and was “part of the Pulte Homes family” (DiVosta, captured April 30, 2007), and a 2013 release printed in the Naples Daily News said “DiVosta Homes is a brand of PulteGroup Inc.” (Naples Daily News, August 4, 2013).

Verona Walk is the third of DiVosta’s three “Walk” communities in Collier County, after Village Walk of Naples, whose homes were delivered from 1995 to 1999, and Island Walk, completed from 1998 to 2004. All three share the lakes-and-bridges plan around a central Town Center. Pulte bought DiVosta on July 1, 1998, and Pulte’s 1998 annual report on Form 10-K lists Island Walk Development Company and Village Walk Development Company among DiVosta’s wholly owned subsidiaries.

Sales begin, September 2003

DiVosta Homes began marketing Verona Walk in September 2003: Pulte’s Southwest Florida sales and marketing vice president told the Naples Daily News in 2006 that “marketing of the community of 1,964 planned homes began in September 2003” (Naples Daily News, May 28, 2006), a 2006 plan figure rather than today’s 1,920 homes. The district’s 2006 engineer’s report records that master infrastructure construction “started in October, 2003.”

Sales moved quickly in the Southwest Florida boom. By May 2006 contracted sales had passed 50 percent of the community, and by September 2006 closings had passed 50 percent, per the Naples Daily News reports of May 28, 2006 and September 24, 2006. The sales center sat at 7676 Collier Boulevard, outside the gated entry, and the 2006 reports described the product as patio homes, single-family homes and a townhome design called the Cayman, each with a two-car garage and a screened lanai.

The Declaration, the association and the district, 2004

VeronaWalk Homeowners Association, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation, document number N04000001459, filed February 12, 2004, per the Florida Division of Corporations. The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for VeronaWalk was made on February 13, 2004 by DiVosta Homes, L.P. and the association, and recorded on February 23, 2004 at Official Records Book 3506, Page 903.

The Verona Walk Community Development District was established in April 2004 by Collier County Ordinance 04-27, on the petition of DiVosta Homes, L.P. The ordinance describes about 760 net acres and gives the district consent to exercise special powers for parks and recreation and for security, including guardhouses, fences and gates. The district financed the community’s original infrastructure with Series 2004 and Series 2006 bonds, both later refinanced, which is why every Verona Walk home still carries a district debt line today.

Phase by phase, 2004 to 2013

The Declaration bound only the first “Committed Lands” at recording; every later phase was added by an amendment as its plat was recorded. The association’s posted amendment packet carries the developer’s First through Ninth Amendments, which annexed the phases through Phase 3B. Later phases were platted from 2006 to 2013, per the Collier County Clerk’s official records map search.

Sources: the association’s posted amendment packet and the Collier County Clerk’s map search. Plat years are the years legible on each plat’s first sheet. This summary reflects the Declaration and the recorded amendments the association posts publicly.

Closings followed the plats. Clerk deed lists printed in the Naples Daily News show builder closings in Phase 2A by the list dated January 1, 2005 (Naples Daily News), and later lists show closings in Phase 3A in 2006, Phase 3B in 2007 and Phase 4A and the Model Center Replat in December 2008.

The builder kept adding designs to the end. In August 2013 DiVosta introduced the Kendall II, a 1,759-square-foot, three-bedroom single-family plan with a builder base price in 2013 of $278,990, describing it as “the latest of more than a dozen floor plans available at VeronaWalk,” with homes then “ranging from 1,392 square feet of living area to 2,488 square feet” (Naples Daily News, August 4, 2013). Those are historical builder prices from 2013, not current values.

Turnover and the 2014 award

Residents took control of the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association from the developer in spring 2014. The Florida Community Association Journal reported in July 2014 that the community “was turned over from the developer this spring,” and called 2004 the community’s “inception” (Florida Community Association Journal, July 2014). Turnover is the point at which the homeowners elect the whole board and the developer’s control of the association ends.

In 2014 the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association was named HOA Community of the Year in the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards, presented by the Florida Community Association Journal, and also won that year’s Energy Efficiency and Safety and Security Initiatives categories. It is a community-association award, recognizing how the association was run, and the journal’s May 2014 issue lists that year’s recipients.

In December 2014, DiVosta began pre-selling its next community, Winding Cypress, directly to the south, out of the VeronaWalk sales center until a new one opened (Naples Daily News, December 14, 2014).

The builder’s own description, then and now

In 2006, DiVosta called it “a lakefront community of luxury single-family, patio, and townhomes” with a “24-hour guardhouse entry and lakefront Town Center,” promising “resort style living with no additional membership fees” and adding that lawn maintenance and irrigation “are provided by the Homeowners Association” (DiVosta, captured March 24, 2006). That is what the builder said in 2006, not a statement of what the association’s assessment covers today.

By 2010 the builder described “single-family homes, attached villas and townhomes” set along “miles of lakefront with beautiful Venetian-style bridges” (DiVosta, captured November 7, 2010), and by 2013 it advertised “Steel-reinforced concrete block construction” for its plans (DiVosta, captured August 2, 2013). What changed is who runs it: a resident association board owns the Town Center, and the elected district board owns the lakes.

How Big Is Verona Walk, and What Zoning Governs It?

Verona Walk covers about 760 acres, the acreage in its district’s 2004 charter, and was built under the Winding Cypress Planned Unit Development and Development of Regional Impact rather than a zoning ordinance of its own. The same approval also governs the separate Winding Cypress community to the south, which has its own association and district.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County PUD, zoning and future land use layers; Ordinance 04-27; 2006 engineer’s report; 2026 preliminary roll, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

One planned development, two communities

Collier County’s PUD layer shows the arrangement plainly: a search of the layer for a planned development named Verona Walk returns nothing, and the ground under Verona Walk falls inside the polygon named Winding Cypress, status active. The same planned unit development also holds the Winding Cypress community, a later DiVosta neighborhood to the south with its own association and district. On the county roll, Winding Cypress tracts carry their own association and district as owners, the practical test that separates the two communities.

The Winding Cypress name also appears in Verona Walk’s own Declaration. The Declaration’s definitions anticipate a Winding Cypress master association above the VeronaWalk association.

The zoning ordinances, in order

The zoning history of the land under Verona Walk, as Collier County’s zoning layer records it, runs as follows. The zoning district is PUD throughout.

Source: Collier County zoning layer, zoning history note, retrieved September 24, 2026.

Separately, the Verona Walk Community Development District was created by Ordinance 04-27 in April 2004. That ordinance is a special-district charter under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, not a zoning ordinance: it creates the district that finances and maintains infrastructure, and it does not set what may be built. The county codifies it in Chapter 122 of its Code of Ordinances.

The recorded Declaration adds one land-use disclosure that every Verona Walk buyer inherits. The Third Amendment, recorded in December 2004, added Section 23.7: “All properties within the Winding Cypress DRI, including VeronaWalk, are located in a hurricane vulnerability zone,” per the association’s posted amendment packet.

How the 760 acres are used

The district’s 2006 engineer’s report broke the 760 acres into land uses, and the roll today still tracks it closely.

Source: Verona Walk Community Development District, Amended and Restated Engineer’s Report, April 2006, Table 1. Shares are our arithmetic.

Collier County’s 2026 roll shows how it was built out. The 1,920 home lots together cover 292.24 acres, close to the plan’s 285.4, and the median lot is 0.15 acre, per the county’s ParcelJoin service. Besides the 1,920 homes, Collier County’s roll lists 138 common parcels in Verona Walk, all owned by the association or the Verona Walk Community Development District: roads, lakes, preserves, open space and the Town Center. The Town Center parcel alone is about 8.9 acres, owned by the association.

Four acreage figures, explained

The rule for reading them is simple: 760 acres is Verona Walk, 806 is a census boundary drawn around it, and 1,960 is the larger planned development that also contains Winding Cypress.

Future land use and the rural land to the east

Collier County’s Growth Management Plan designates almost all of Verona Walk, 97.9 percent, as Urban Residential Fringe Subdistrict on its future land use map. That subdistrict marks the transition between the county’s urban area and its rural lands, and the land beyond Verona Walk shows why.

Along the north and east edges, the community touches land in the county’s Rural Fringe Mixed Use District designated “Sending” on the county’s zoning overlay layer and rural fringe layer. Sending lands are the category from which development rights are transferred away, so that the land stays largely undeveloped and its density is built elsewhere. The county’s plan points density away from that land, not toward it; Hacienda Lakes, to the east and north-east, is covered under nearby construction.

Roads on every side

Verona Walk is bounded by Collier Boulevard on the west, Sabal Palm Road on the north and Winding Cypress Boulevard on the south, per Collier County’s road centerline layer. The main gate opens onto Collier Boulevard at VeronaWalk Boulevard, and the community’s internal streets, VeronaWalk Circle, Sorrento Lane and the courts off them, are private roads owned by the association, platted as private rights of way.

Collier Boulevard is the community’s front door and its busiest edge. The Florida Department of Transportation counted an annual average of 42,000 vehicles a day on Collier Boulevard from US 41 to VeronaWalk Boulevard, and 41,500 a day north of it, in 2025, per FDOT’s annual average daily traffic layer. The Declaration also makes the association responsible for maintaining the landscaped rights of way along Collier Boulevard and Sabal Palm Road adjacent to Verona Walk, per the recorded Declaration.

Who Governs Verona Walk?

Verona Walk is governed by two bodies. The VeronaWalk Homeowners Association, a Florida not-for-profit incorporated in 2004 and managed by KW Property Management, owns the Town Center, roads and common areas. The Verona Walk Community Development District, an independent special district created by Collier County in 2004, owns and maintains the lakes and master stormwater system.

Data updated: September 2026 (Florida Division of Corporations, association portal, CDD website and 2026 board book, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

The association is a private corporation run by a board the owners elect; the district is a unit of local government with its own elected board, a budget adopted at a public hearing, an audit and its own line on the county tax bill.

The VeronaWalk Homeowners Association

VeronaWalk Homeowners Association, Inc. is a Florida not-for-profit corporation, document number N04000001459, FEI number 56-2440461, filed February 12, 2004 and active, with its principal address at 8090 Sorrento Lane, Suite 1, in the Town Center, per the Florida Division of Corporations. It has filed an annual report every year from 2005 through 2026. It is the only association in Verona Walk: a search of the Division of Corporations for the VeronaWalk name returns no separate villa, townhome or neighborhood association, and every common parcel on the county roll is owned by either this association or the district.

Membership is mandatory and automatic. Under Section 3.2 of the recorded Declaration, every owner is a member of the association by virtue of owning a home, and under Section 4.1 the association owns and controls the common area, including the Town Center.

The association’s articles and by-laws are posted on its public documents page, with the Declaration and its amendments: the Articles of Incorporation and the By-Laws. The association’s annual budget, reserve study, rules and regulations, architectural guidelines and minutes are not on the public site; they sit behind the resident login, and the rules and architectural guidelines are provided to buyers during the resale approval.

KW Property Management and the on-site office

The association is managed by KW Property Management, LLC, “as agent for the Association,” per the association’s website. KW Property Management is a community association management company based in Miami; it is not a real estate brokerage and does not list or sell Verona Walk homes. The on-site association office is at 8090 Sorrento Lane in the Town Center, telephone (239) 774-0026, and estoppel certificates and resale questionnaires are processed through the HomeWiseDocs service.

The association’s staff directory lists the roles that run the community day to day: a general manager, an activities director, a maintenance team and the post office clerks who staff the Town Center’s contracted post office.

The Verona Walk Community Development District

The Verona Walk Community Development District was established in April 2004 by Collier County Ordinance 04-27, on the petition of DiVosta Homes, L.P. It is an independent special district under Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes, governed by a five-member board of supervisors elected in general elections, with Special District Services, Inc. as its district manager, per the district’s website. Its fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30, and it adopts its budget each summer at a public hearing; the fiscal 2026/27 budget was adopted on August 20, 2026.

The district is a lean public body. Its FY2025 audited financial report, by Grau and Associates and dated April 15, 2026, records zero employees; its work is done by contractors under the district manager. The auditor found no deteriorating financial conditions and reported the district in compliance with its bond requirements. Despite the charter’s special powers for recreation and security, its current budget is spent on the lakes and stormwater system.

The district’s assessment is collected by the Collier County Tax Collector as one line in the non-ad valorem section of the November property tax bill; owners who escrow pay it through their mortgage escrow, per the district’s FAQ page.

Who owns and maintains what

The division of duties follows the infrastructure. The district’s 2006 engineer’s report records the stormwater management system as “funded, owned and maintained by the CDD,” about 178 acres of ponds with their culverts, catch basins, swales and control structures, and records that the district’s water and sewer lines were built to be dedicated to Collier County Utilities. A draft agreement before the district’s board in August 2026 describes the district as owning and maintaining the master stormwater and lake system and the association as owning and maintaining the sidewalks, per the district’s August 20, 2026 board book.

The roads are the association’s. The Phase 1B plat, for example, dedicates VeronaWalk Circle, Sorrento Lane and the courts off them as a private road right-of-way maintained by the association, per the recorded Phase 1B plat, Plat Book 41, Page 37, and the district’s budget carries no road line at all (fiscal 2025/26 budget).

The recorded Declaration and its amendments

The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for VeronaWalk, recorded February 23, 2004 at Official Records Book 3506, Page 903, is the community’s constitution, and the association posts it with every amendment it has on file. The First Amendment (2004, Official Records Book 3570, Page 524) set the assessment structure every owner still pays under: a base component levied equally on every home plus a component set by home type. The Second through Ninth Amendments (2004 to 2006) annexed the phases as they were platted, and the Third added the hurricane vulnerability disclosure, per the association’s amendment packet.

Two member amendments changed daily life. In 2008 the owners amended the Declaration (Official Records Book 4384, Page 1501) on the definitions of neighborhoods and units, holiday lighting, vehicles, golf cart insurance and zero-lot-line maintenance. In 2015 they adopted the roof cleaning and house painting amendment (Official Records Book 5140, Page 2683), which moved routine exterior wall cleaning and painting and roof cleaning from the association to the owners of zero-lot-line, attached and townhouse homes. This summary reflects the Declaration and the recorded amendments the association posts publicly.

The 2004 Declaration anticipated a Winding Cypress master association above the VeronaWalk association; no master association assessment appears in any public Verona Walk record we found, and the estoppel certificate for a resale lists every assessment that applies.

Changing the rules: the 51 percent threshold

After the developer’s first conveyance, the Declaration “may be amended only by consent of fifty-one percent (51%) of all Unit Owners,” and any amendment that affects the surface water management system also needs the prior approval of the South Florida Water Management District, per Article XXI of the recorded Declaration. Fifty-one percent of all owners is a majority of the whole community, not of those who attend a meeting, which is a high bar across 1,920 homes. It is one reason the association’s posted record shows only two member-adopted amendments, in 2008 and 2015, and why recorded covenants such as the four-month minimum lease term in Section 19.2 still read as they did in 2004.

The board’s rules are another matter. The Declaration lets the board adopt and change Rules and Regulations, and those rules govern day-to-day questions such as lake use, vehicles and architectural approvals. Because they are not public, a buyer reads them during the resale approval, and we request them at the start of a Verona Walk transaction rather than at the end.

What Will You Actually Pay to Own a Home in Verona Walk? (The Fee Stack)

Owning a Verona Walk home means paying the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association’s quarterly assessment, which is not published, plus the Verona Walk Community Development District’s annual assessment of $744.85 to $992.85 on the November tax bill, plus county property taxes at 10.4020 mills on the 2026 preliminary roll. Buyers also pay a one-time capital contribution at closing.

The Verona Walk fee stack at a glance

The fire, water management and mosquito control districts make up the rest of the “other districts” millage.

The association assessment: what is and is not published

The VeronaWalk Homeowners Association does not publish its assessment. Under the recorded Declaration, as amended in 2004, each home pays a base component plus a component set by home type, so a townhome, a villa and a detached home pay different amounts, billed quarterly in advance. The current amount for a specific home appears in the association’s annual budget and on the estoppel certificate issued for every resale.

What the assessment pays for is set by Article V of the Declaration: maintenance of the surface water management system, irrigation, landscape maintenance, fertilization and pest control of the common areas, common-area utilities, the Town Center and its amenities, management and reserves. Assessments are due “not less frequently than quarter-annually in advance,” billed on the fifteenth of December, March, June and September, and a late charge of up to $30 can apply after 30 days.

Two points often get misread. The Declaration allows a bulk cable or security-monitoring contract to be billed through the assessment; whether one is in the current budget is not published. And since 2015, exterior painting and roof cleaning of attached homes sit outside the assessment.

The resale capital contribution

The contribution’s dollar amount depends on the home type’s annual assessment, which the association does not publish; it appears on the estoppel certificate.

The association’s notice describes it as “a fee paid as part of the closing costs when purchasing a property located in Veronawalk” and “equal to 1/4th of the annual maintenance fees depending on the type of home model being purchased.” It lists limited exemptions. A current owner buying another Verona Walk home as a personal residence gets a one-time exemption: the fee is paid at closing and refunded if the first home sells within 180 days, and the exemption does not apply to a purchase for rental use. Transfers due to death, divorce, a transfer to a trust or business, a transfer to a co-owner and foreclosure are also exempt. The Declaration authorizes capital contributions as a reserve fund that is the exclusive property of the association.

Application fees for buyers and tenants

The Declaration requires at least 20 days’ notice to the association before a sale or lease; the association’s current application forms ask for submission at least 30 days ahead, so plan on 30. The purchase form states that the association inspects the home’s exterior before approval and that outstanding compliance issues must be corrected first, which is a reason for a seller to request the inspection early rather than in the last week before closing.

The CDD assessment by home type

Every Verona Walk home pays the same operations and maintenance assessment, $233.85 a year, and a debt service assessment that depends on the phase and lot class the home was built on. The table below is the district’s own, identical in its adopted budgets for fiscal 2025/26 and fiscal 2026/27.

Source: Verona Walk Community Development District, adopted budget FY2026/27, Section V, and adopted budget FY2025/26. Original units are the district’s plan counts; 1,920 homes are assessed today.

The gross figures already include the 4 percent early-payment discount and the 3.5 percent county collection cost the district builds in, so they are what appears on the bill before any early-payment discount. The operations and maintenance rate was $162.13 from fiscal 2021/22 through 2023/24 and rose to $233.85 in fiscal 2024/25, where it has stayed; the district’s operations and maintenance revenue of $448,974 is unchanged for fiscal 2026/27, and the budget projects $800,000 of available funds. The district’s FY2025 audit confirms the rate range that year: “From $744.85 To $992.85 Per Unit.”

Paying off the CDD bond early

The district’s debt is refinanced original infrastructure debt, not new borrowing. Its audited financial statements show $8,874,000 of bonds outstanding at September 30, 2025, in two series: 2013 refunding bonds maturing through May 1, 2035, and 2018 refunding bonds maturing through May 1, 2037. The auditor reported the district in compliance with its bond requirements.

Any owner can retire a home’s debt line early by paying its share of the bonds, and the district publishes the figure for every home in its bond balance table, good through October 31, 2026. The table’s own footnote reads: “Bond balance does not have to be paid off at closing.” Once paid, the home still owes the $233.85 operations and maintenance line every year.

Source: Verona Walk Community Development District bond balance and assessment table, aggregate counts by lot class; the table itself lists every parcel.

Whether to pay it off is a straightforward comparison. On a $540 line, the payoff of $3,353.69 is about six years of payments; on a $511 line, $4,209.31 is a bit over eight. Prepaying suits an owner holding to 2035 or 2037, or a seller who wants a cleaner tax bill to show; either way it is a negotiating item, not a closing requirement.

Property taxes and the millage stack

Every Verona Walk parcel sits in the same taxing districts, so the rate is uniform across the community: 10.4020 mills on Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll, the rates on the 2026 TRIM notices; final rates are set at September hearings and appear on the November bill. The county bucket of 3.9293 mills is exactly the county-wide rate plus the unincorporated-area general fund, which is the arithmetic proof that no county MSTU millage applies to Verona Walk parcels, per the county’s ParcelJoin service.

The median total 2026 tax on a Verona Walk home on the preliminary roll is $3,981.23 (1,920 homes, an even count). That median blends homesteaded homes, whose assessed values are capped, with non-homesteaded homes, which are not, so a buyer should budget from the home’s just value and the millage rather than from the seller’s current bill. The homestead exemption and its assessment cap are explained by the Florida Department of Revenue.

Fire, water management and solid waste

Three of the “other districts” levies deserve a line of their own. The Greater Naples Fire Rescue District, which the county’s fire district map shows covering Verona Walk, levied 2.0000 mills for fiscal 2026: 1.5 mills for operations plus 0.5 mill for capital projects approved by referendum, per its approved budget. The South Florida Water Management District, including the Big Cypress Basin, levied a combined 0.1926 mills, per its fiscal 2025-26 final hearing.

Collier County’s residential curbside collection assessment for fiscal 2026 is $261.91 per home, collected on the property tax bill in the county’s service districts, under Resolution 2025-184; it covers twice-weekly garbage, weekly recycling, yard waste and bulk collection. Water and sewer are billed separately by the utility on metered use; the district’s 2006 engineer’s report records that Verona Walk’s water and sewer lines were built to be dedicated to Collier County Utilities.

Put together, a Verona Walk owner’s recurring bills are the association’s quarterly assessment, one November tax bill carrying the ad valorem taxes, the district’s assessment and the solid waste line, and a utility bill. The only one of those a buyer cannot price from public records is the association’s, and the estoppel certificate prices it.

What Types of Homes and Phases Make Up Verona Walk?

Verona Walk’s 1,920 homes were recorded in 19 plats between 2004 and 2013 and fall into four product types: one-story paired villas, two-story townhomes, detached single-family homes and a small group of estate homesites on Karina Court. Every home is fee simple on its own lot; there are no condominiums, and every phase shares one association and one Town Center.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County Clerk plat index; 2026 preliminary roll; county building footprints; CDD bond table, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

The phases below are platting phases, not separately governed villages. Crossing from one plat to another does not change your association, your manager, your ownership regime or your amenities; it changes only the lot class, which sets the district’s debt line and the association’s unit-type component.

Villas and paired homes

About 768 of Verona Walk’s homes are one-story attached villas, two homes sharing a wall on paired lots, which the builder sold as patio homes and villas. They sit across most of the plats: the Phase I villa lots in Phases 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B and the Model Center Replat, and the Phase II villa lots in Phases 3A, 3B, 4A, 4C and 4D. Phase 4D, recorded in 2011, is an all-villa plat of 50 homes on Genova Court.

The builder’s names for this product changed over the years. In 2006 DiVosta sold “luxury single-family, patio, and townhomes” (DiVosta, captured March 24, 2006); by 2010 it was “single-family homes, attached villas and townhomes” (DiVosta, captured November 7, 2010). The Gray Myst and the Carrington were each a one-story “luxury patio home” (Gray Myst, captured February 2011), and the district’s budget files the villa lots under its “Duplex” classes, Capri and Carrington, on 36 and 40-foot frontages, with a separate “Garden” class of 40-foot lots in Phase 4C where, the district notes, Carrington homes were built on Garden lots on Karina (fiscal 2025/26 budget).

Two things set a villa apart for a buyer. The 2015 amendment made exterior wall cleaning and painting and roof cleaning of attached homes the owner’s job, so the two owners of a paired building share an interest in when the building is painted. And most villa lots sit in the lowest district debt classes, $540 in Phase I and $511 in Phase II, for a total district assessment of $744.85 to $773.85 a year; Garden-class lots in Phase 4C pay $810.85.

Two-story townhomes

Verona Walk’s 176 two-story townhomes are in two plats: VeronaWalk Townhomes 1 (Plat Book 41, Pages 58 to 59, recorded 2004), with 120 homes, and VeronaWalk Townhomes 2 (Plat Book 42, Pages 44 to 46, recorded 2005), with 56 homes. The lots are about 0.07 acre, the smallest in the community, and the median 2026 just value of the 176 townhomes is $369,195 (an even count), per Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll. The townhomes sit close to the Town Center, on Chianti, Josefa, Rimini and Sorrento and along VeronaWalk Circle and Boulevard.

The first townhome design was the Cayman, a two-story, three-bedroom, three-bath plan of 1,720 square feet with a two-car detached garage (DiVosta, captured March 24, 2006). By 2010 the builder was offering the Dublon, a two-story “luxury townhome” of 1,858 square feet (DiVosta, captured February 18, 2011). The district still files the townhome lots under “Townhome (Cayman),” 26-foot frontage, with a $540 debt line and a $773.85 total.

The townhome is also the product that changed most. The builder’s original plan called for 246 Cayman townhome lots; in 2013 the recorded VeronaWalk Townhomes 2 Replat (Plat Book 53, Pages 78 to 79) replaced 68 of them with 34 single-family lots, and the district records the matching bond prepayment for the “34-lot differential” in August 2014. That replat is the reason Verona Walk has 1,920 homes rather than the 1,954 in the district’s plan.

Detached single-family homes

About 976 Verona Walk homes are detached single-family houses, and they carry the community’s higher values. The district groups them in three lot classes by frontage: Oakmont, on 50-foot lots; Carlyle, on 60 and 65-foot lots; and Estate, on 65-foot lots, per the district’s fiscal 2026/27 budget. Every Oakmont, Carlyle and Estate lot carries a detached home. Phase II’s 36 and 40-foot class also includes 61 detached homes on Querce Court in the Palermo Querce Court Replat.

The Oakmont was a one-story, three-bedroom single-family home of about 2,000 square feet in the builder’s 2006 and 2010 lineups; the Carlyle a four-bedroom, three-bath plan of about 2,500 square feet (Oakmont, captured March 24, 2006; Carlyle, captured March 24, 2006). Later detached plans, the Cambridge, Monterey, Willow Bend, Rainer and Kendall II among them, were labeled “Single Family Home” by the builder.

The detached side is where Verona Walk’s larger lots are. The median home lot in the community is 0.15 acre, but the nine homes on the VeronaWalk 4A Verducci Court Replat have a median lot of 0.44 acre, and several detached homes in Phases 1A and 1B sit on lots of more than a third of an acre, per the county’s 2026 preliminary roll.

Karina Court estate homesites

The top tier of Verona Walk is a single street. The 32 homes on the VeronaWalk 4C Karina Court 2nd Replat (Plat Book 52, Pages 35 to 36, recorded about 2013) are all in the district’s Estate class, 65-foot lots with the community’s highest debt line, $759, and a total district assessment of $992.85 a year, per the district’s fiscal 2026/27 budget. Their median lot is 0.205 acre, and their median 2026 just value is $738,143 (32 homes, an even count), per Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll. Thirty of the 32 are in the community’s top value decile.

Karina Court is a product class, not a separate neighborhood: it has no association of its own and shares the Town Center with every other home. The builder priced Estate homesites as one of three homesite premium tiers in 2013, “Garden,” “Classic” and “Estate,” with Estate premiums of $0 to $30,000 as a 2013 builder figure (DiVosta, captured August 2, 2013).

The DiVosta floor plans, 2006 to 2013

DiVosta offered at least 21 floor plans at Verona Walk between 2006 and 2013, from about 1,390 to about 2,610 square feet of living area in the builder’s own listings. The table below lists each plan once, from the latest archived capture of the builder’s site, with the builder’s base price in that year. Builder figures varied by year: the Carlyle was listed at 2,506 square feet in 2006 and 2,516 in 2010, and the Carrington and Gray Myst were listed with three bedrooms in 2010 and two in 2013.

Sources: DiVosta Homes’ archived plan pages on the Internet Archive, captures of March 2006, November 2010, February 2011, January 2013 and August 2013, linked in the table. Every price is a builder base price in the year shown, not a current value, and every size is the builder’s living-area figure, not the county’s area under roof.

Two patterns stand out. First, prices fell sharply between the 2006 boom and the 2010 to 2013 recovery: the Oakmont was listed from $490,900 in 2006 and $347,320 in 2010, and the Carlyle from $590,900 in 2006 and $363,900 in 2010, all builder base prices. Second, every plan the builder offered after 2006 except the Dublon townhome was one story.

All 19 recorded plats

Verona Walk was recorded in 19 plats in Plat Books 41 to 53 of the Collier County public records, and the Clerk’s official records map search returns every one under the map name “VERONAWALK.” The founding plat, VeronaWalk Phase 1A, is Plat Book 41, Page 1.

Sources: plat names, books and pages from the Collier County Clerk’s map search; home counts and 2026 preliminary just values from Collier County’s ParcelJoin service; attached and detached from the county’s 2025 building footprints; lot classes from the district’s bond table and budget, all retrieved September 24, 2026. Plat years are those legible on each plat’s first sheet. Just values are county assessments as of January 1, 2026, not sale prices; an even count’s median is the mean of the two middle values.

Lot sizes and value by plat

On the 2026 roll, Verona Walk lot size tracks product closely: the townhome lots are about 0.07 acre, the villa lots about 0.11 to 0.12 acre, the Oakmont lots about 0.16, the Carlyle lots about 0.20 to 0.21, the Karina Court Estate lots 0.205, and the nine Verducci Court lots a median of 0.44 acre.

Value follows the same line. Grouped by the district’s lot class, the Phase I villa and townhome lots on the $540 debt line carry a median 2026 just value of $380,438 (509 homes, odd), the Phase II villa class $394,330.50 (438, even), the Garden class $411,026 (53, odd), Phase I Oakmont $532,602 (269, odd), Phase II Oakmont $558,306 (317, odd), Phase I Carlyle $675,093 (95, odd), Phase II Carlyle $705,509 (161, odd) and Estate $738,143 (32, even). All are county assessments as of January 1, 2026, from the county roll joined to the district’s bond table, and none is a sale price. A seller can read a home’s likely position in the market from its lot class before a single comparable sale is pulled, which is why we start every Verona Walk valuation there.

Replats and retired lot numbers

Verona Walk’s lot numbers run to 2050 but there are 1,920 homes, because later replats retired some lot numbers. Six of the 19 plats are replats: the Townhomes 2 Replat, the Model Center Replat, the Verducci Court Replat, the Palermo Querce Court Replat, the Benelli Karina Court Replat and the Karina Court 2nd Replat, per the Clerk’s plat index. Each redrew part of an earlier plat: the Model Center Replat, for example, turned the builder’s former model-center tracts in Phase 1A into 18 home lots in 2008.

That history matters when you read a legal description. A home’s deed names its plat and lot number, and a lot on a replat carries the replat’s name. Some older deeds and FEMA letters describe replatted lots by the original phase name, so a Phase 4B or Phase 4C label on an older document may refer to a lot that is now on a replat. When we prepare a Verona Walk listing, we match the lot to its current plat before we pull the flood determination, because FEMA’s amendment letters are issued by plat and lot.

No condominiums in Verona Walk

Verona Walk has no condominiums. None of the 19 Verona Walk plats contains a condominium parcel, and every one of the 1,920 homes is coded as a single-family parcel on Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll, per our check of every Verona Walk parcel.

For a buyer that difference is practical. A Verona Walk villa owner owns the lot under the home, carries a homeowner’s policy on the structure, and answers to the homeowners association, not to a condominium association under Chapter 718 of the Florida Statutes. The condominium rules that have reshaped older Florida buildings since 2022, milestone inspections under section 553.899 and structural integrity reserve studies under section 718.112, apply to condominium and cooperative buildings, and no Verona Walk home is in one. Nor is there any commercial parcel inside the plats other than the association-owned Town Center, and no golf course tract: the county roll shows only homes, the association’s roads, open space and Town Center, and the district’s lakes and preserves.

What Is in the Verona Walk Town Center, and Do You Have to Join a Club?

The Verona Walk Town Center is common property of the homeowners association, so every owner has access through the deed and there is no club to join, no initiation fee and no equity membership. The association describes it as a multi-million-dollar lakefront complex with a clock tower, ballroom, library, fitness center, two pools, courts, a restaurant and shops.

In many Naples communities the amenities belong to a separately owned club; in Verona Walk the deed that conveys the home makes the owner a member of the association that owns the Town Center, so there is no second decision.

The Town Center building and clock tower

The VeronaWalk Homeowners Association calls its amenity core a “large, multi-million-dollar Town Center which functions as the focal point for all the neighborly amenities and activities,” and describes it today as “updated,” on the association’s home page (read September 23, 2026). Visitors reach it past what the association calls “our tall landmark clock tower,” and the building houses “our offices, game rooms, grand ballroom, function rooms, library equipped with two computer stations.”

The Town Center sits at 8090 Sorrento Lane, which is also the association’s published office address, with the office phone at (239) 774-0026 (association home page). Collier County’s address point records place the main building, its commercial suites, two pool structures, a maintenance building and three chickee structures on the same tract, so the whole complex is one campus on one parcel rather than a string of buildings owned by different parties.

When DiVosta Homes was still selling Verona Walk, its 2012 community page listed a “Landmark Clock Tower,” a “Lakeside Gazebo,” “Card & Game Rooms,” “Activity Rooms,” a “Library” and a “Catering Kitchen” among its features. The builder’s 2010 page promised buyers “exclusive access to the lakefront Town Center,” with “several game and billiards rooms, an arts and crafts room, and more.” Neither the association nor the county publishes the building’s interior square footage or the year it opened, so we do not state either.

Rooms you can use

The association’s Community Events Calendar (read September 23, 2026) names the rooms where Verona Walk’s clubs, classes and parties actually happen:

• The Ballroom (the association’s “grand ballroom”), where the calendar places bingo and other large events
• The Great Room
• The Tuscany Room and the Pompei Room, which the calendar also books together as one combined space
• The Napoli Room, the Venice Room and the Milan Room
• The Town Center Courtyard
• The Gazebo and Lawn

The same calendar lists the Fitness Center, the Resort Pool, the Lap Pool, the Tennis Courts, the Pickleball Courts and the Bocce Ball Courts as event locations, along with the Pink Frog cafe and Verona Grill. “Private Event” is one of the calendar’s own categories; the rules and any room fee for private use are not published on the open portal.

Shops and services under one roof

In a July 2024 request for proposals for its restaurant, the association described the amenity set in its own words: “a Town Center Clubhouse with meeting rooms, a library, and on-site property management services … a fitness center; tennis courts; pickleball courts; bocce courts; a basketball court; a playground; a travel agency, a real estate office, a hair salon, a casual ice cream/sandwich/coffee shop; a gas station and a federally contracted post office. There are two pools, a resort-style pool and a lap pool. A full-service restaurant and bar is the centerpiece” (Restaurant and Bar RFP, July 31, 2024).

The association’s current Town Center Shops page lists Verona Travel, the Veronawalk Salon, Verona Grill, a post office and Pink Frog Cafe. Of the five Naples lakes communities compared in the benchmark section, only Verona Walk and Island Walk publish both an on-site gas station and an on-site post office.

What your association membership includes

Four sections of the recorded Declaration of Covenants (Official Records Book 3506, Page 903, recorded February 23, 2004) define what an owner receives:

• Section 3.2, membership. “The owner of the fee simple title of record of each Unit shall be a mandatory Member of the Association,” and membership begins “upon acceptance of the deed.” No application to a club is involved.
• Section 4.1, ownership. The association “shall own, manage, and control the Common Area and all improvements” on it.
• Section 7.1, insurance. The recreational facilities are common-area improvements that the association insures.
• Section 8.2, user fees. The board may “impose reasonable user fees for use of the Recreational Facilities.”

Collier County’s 2026 tax roll closes the loop: the Town Center sits on an 8.9-acre association-owned parcel, and we found no club corporation, equity certificate or initiation fee in any association document. Because the board may charge reasonable user fees, we cannot say no activity ever carries a charge.

Two one-time buyer charges apply, and neither is a club fee: the resale capital contribution and the $100 purchase application, both in the Fee Stack section above. Island Walk and Village Walk of Naples also hold their Town Centers through their associations, the shared DiVosta design.

Is the Town Center open to the public?

Verona Walk is gated, and the Town Center is private common property, so it is not a public facility. Guests come in through the gate: the association offers residents an online “Register Your Visitors” tool “for faster access into the property” on its home page, and the gate procedure for open houses is covered in the logistics section. Court reservations, as noted below, are limited to owners and lessees.

The staff who run it

The Town Center is staffed, not self-service. The association’s staff directory (read September 23, 2026) lists these roles, all working under KW Property Management as the association’s management company:

• A General Manager and two Assistant General Managers
• An Activities Director, who runs the calendar described in the clubs and events section
• An Operations Coordinator, an ACC (architectural) Coordinator, a Landscape and Irrigation Coordinator and a Violations Coordinator
• A Front Desk Receptionist
• A Maintenance Manager with six Maintenance Technicians, and two Housekeepers
• Three Postal Office Clerks for the Town Center post office

Does Verona Walk Have a Golf Course?

Verona Walk has no golf course. Collier County’s 2026 tax roll shows no golf-course parcel in any of Verona Walk’s 19 plats, the Declaration’s list of recreation facilities does not include golf, and the association itself points residents to public and private courses nearby. Several courses lie within about three miles.

Proven: no course inside the gates

Three independent records agree.

1. The tax roll. Every parcel in Verona Walk’s 19 recorded plats carries a Florida Department of Revenue use code. On Collier County’s 2026 roll (tax year 2026 preliminary, queried September 24, 2026), those parcels are classified only as homes, vacant or common land, rights-of-way, and association or district common areas, lakes and preserves. None is classified as a golf course.
2. The Declaration. Section 1.32 of the recorded Declaration of Covenants defines “Recreational Facility” as “the tennis, swimming, social, and other recreation facilities, if any.” Golf is not named; the only golf references in the Declaration are the golf-cart rules below.
3. The builder and the association. DiVosta’s full 2012 feature list names no golf course, and the association markets proximity instead, describing the community as “near delectable dining, adventurous boating, public and private golfing” on its home page.

Golf courses within about three miles

The golf is across the road. Measured in a straight line from the Town Center to golf-course parcels on Collier County’s 2026 roll (September 24, 2026):

Grand Lely Drive is the road that continues west across Collier Boulevard from Verona Walk’s own entrance road, so the nearest course is almost straight out the front gate. Across Collier Boulevard, Lely Resort is a golf resort community whose courses are the closest to Verona Walk. We have not verified from a primary source whether each course is public, semi-private or private, or what it charges, so we list distance only.

Golf carts inside Verona Walk

Golf carts are allowed, with limits. Section 8.2(W) of the Declaration, as amended in 2008 (Official Records Book 4384, Page 1503), requires golf carts to be parked or stored only in garages, provides that “No golf cart shall be driven outside the entrance area or boundaries of VeronaWalk,” and lets the association require proof of annual liability insurance (recorded amendments).

The builder planned for carts: DiVosta offered floor plans with a golf-cart garage bay, including the Dunwoody Lane, Dunwoody Trail and Tifton Way models (Dunwoody Lane plan, 2011 capture). If a cart matters to you, confirm the garage configuration of the specific home, because the covenant keeps the cart out of the driveway.

Does Verona Walk Have Boating or Beach Access?

Verona Walk has no marina, boat slips or beach access. Its lakes are, in the words of the recorded Declaration, primarily aesthetic amenities, with fishing, boating and swimming subject to the board’s rules. The nearest Gulf beaches are in Naples and on Marco Island, roughly 20 to 35 minutes away without traffic.

The association’s “sparkling inland waterways” are stormwater lakes, not navigable water, and the community has no connection to the Gulf.

The lakes: aesthetic by covenant

Section 8.2(Q) of the Declaration (Official Records Book 3506, Page 929) reads: “All lakes, canals, and water bodies within the Committed Lands shall be primarily aesthetic amenities and all other uses thereof, including, without limitation, fishing, boating, swimming, playing, or use of personal flotation devices, shall be subject to the Rules and Regulations of the Board.” Whether fishing or kayaking is allowed today is set by the board’s rules, which are not public; buyers receive them during the resale approval.

The district’s amended engineer’s report of April 2006 describes “approximately 178 acres of excavated stormwater management ponds, culverts, catch basins, swales, and water control structures,” built to South Florida Water Management District standards. The district maintains the lakes and their littoral plantings.

The Declaration also keeps boats out of sight on land: recreational vehicles, trailers and boats may be kept only inside garages under Section 8.2, as amended in 2008 (recorded amendments). A boat owner in Verona Walk should plan on off-site storage or a home whose garage fits the boat and trailer.

The nearest Gulf beaches

Every beach day starts with a drive west or south. Routed on the public road network with the OSRM routing engine from the Town Center on September 23, 2026:

Drive times are free-flow estimates without traffic, measured from the Town Center at 8090 Sorrento Lane; in-season traffic is longer. The Marco Island figure stops at the bridge, so add a few more minutes to reach a Marco beach access.

Boating from Naples, Marco Island and Rookery Bay

The water closest to Verona Walk is protected water. The Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve’s boundary lies about 1.4 miles from the community’s edge, on the Florida conservation lands layer (queried September 24, 2026), and the reserve’s Environmental Learning Center at 300 Tower Road is about 3.0 road miles and 6 minutes without traffic from Verona Walk’s main gate. Collier-Seminole State Park, on US 41 East, is about 10.2 miles and 14 minutes from the main gate. Both are measured from the gate, not the Town Center, using county address points and OSRM.

For boaters, the practical harbors are Naples Bay and Marco Island, so a Verona Walk boat owner keeps the boat in a marina slip or dry storage on the coast. We have not researched public boat ramps, so we name none.

How Many Pickleball and Tennis Courts Does Verona Walk Have?

Verona Walk has six pickleball courts, the original four and two newer lighted courts near the playground, run with a resident Pickleball Club. The builder’s 2012 feature list counted eight lighted tennis courts and three bocce courts, and there is a lighted basketball court. Owners and lessees book courts online through the association’s reservation system.

Six pickleball courts and the Pickleball Club

Verona Walk has six pickleball courts: the original four, open 7:30 a.m. to dusk, and two lighted courts near the playground, open 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. (Pickleball Club court rules approved by the association’s board January 9, 2025). The resident club’s general information page describes “2 court facilities: the original 4 courts and a lighted 2-court facility near the playground,” with open play from 7:30 to 10:30 a.m. on all courts and from 6 to 9 p.m. on the lit pair.

The lighted pair is the newer facility. The club’s site, as captured on April 27, 2022, already referred to “the 2 new Pickleball courts,” so the expansion from four to six courts was in place by spring 2022.

The court rules set a few conditions a new player should know:

• Quiet paddles and quiet balls are required.
• Reservations are made only by residents.
• An outside instructor must carry $1,000,000 in liability insurance naming the homeowners association.
• Courts 1 to 4 close at dusk; courts 5 and 6 stay open to 9 p.m. under the lights.

The club itself runs free beginner lessons that start in October and November, “Just for Fun” leagues in season from 10:30 a.m. to noon, and social gatherings, per its home page. Pickleball Club membership is by registration on the reservation system; the club publishes no dues figure.

For perspective, six pickleball courts is the most of the five Naples lakes communities we compared on first-party counts: Island Walk, DiVosta’s North Naples Walk community, publishes four on its facilities page; Village Walk of Naples publishes three on its Sports and Wellness page; Winding Cypress publishes four on its amenities page; and Naples Reserve publishes four on its amenities overview. The full benchmark table is in the comparison section below.

Tennis courts and the Tennis Club

Per the builder’s 2012 amenity list, Verona Walk had eight lighted tennis courts; the association has not published a current count. The “8 Lighted Tennis Courts” line is on DiVosta’s 2012 community page. Tennis is plainly active today: “Tennis Club” is one of the association’s own calendar categories, the association’s 2024 restaurant RFP lists “tennis courts” among its amenities, and the Pickleball Club’s general information page describes a tennis gazebo with a restroom that “requires your amenity fob,” an ice machine and a refrigerated water fountain.

Bocce courts

DiVosta’s 2012 list counted “3 Bocce Ball Courts.” “Bocce Ball Courts” remains a location on the association’s events calendar, and the association’s 2024 RFP lists bocce courts. The Pickleball Club’s site places a bocce gazebo, equipped with an automated external defibrillator, near the two lighted pickleball courts. The current bocce count is the builder’s, from 2012.

Basketball court and playground

The builder listed a “Lighted Basketball Court” in 2012, and the association’s 2024 description still lists “a basketball court” and “a playground.” The Pickleball Club notes a restroom “by the basketball court” and places the lit pickleball pair “near the playground” (general information).

Booking a court

“All VeronaWalk owners and lessees are entitled to make court reservations,” according to the Pickleball Club’s home page. Reservations run through VeronaWalk Sports, “powered by Club Court Manager,” and the published limits are:

• Book up to one week ahead.
• Book at least one hour before play.
• One hour per player per day.

The lessee line matters for investors: a lessee has the same court-booking right as an owner under the club’s published terms, per its general information page. Court time is booked, not bought; the club publishes no court fee.

What Fitness, Pool and Walking Amenities Does Verona Walk Offer?

Verona Walk has a fitness center in the Town Center, two pools (a resort-style pool and a lap pool), a weekday community exercise class that the association runs at no charge, and miles of lighted walkways and Venetian-style bridges connecting the lake peninsulas to the Town Center.

The fitness center

The association lists “a fitness center” among its amenities in its 2024 RFP and uses “Fitness Center” as a class location on its events calendar. When DiVosta was selling, its 2010 community page described “a state-of-the-art fitness center with cardiovascular equipment and strength training equipment,” and its 2012 list repeated “State-of-the-art Fitness Center.” The association does not publish the center’s square footage or a current equipment list, and neither do any of the four comparable communities in our benchmark, so size cannot be compared on the record.

The resort pool and the lap pool

Verona Walk has two pools, “a resort-style pool and a lap pool,” per the association’s 2024 description. Collier County’s address points confirm two separate pool structures on the Town Center tract, at 8100 and 8070 Sorrento Lane. The resort pool is the social one: the restaurant space sits beside it with a pool service window, according to the restaurant RFP, and the association’s calendar runs its water classes, Aqua Fit and Aqua Chi, in the Resort Pool. Pool hours and guest rules sit in the association’s Rules and Regulations, which are not public.

Classes on the calendar

The association’s Community Events Calendar (read September 23, 2026) lists ten fitness classes:

• Community Video Exercise, weekdays 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., which the association describes as “open to all VeronaWalk residents and there is no charge”
• Gentle Chair Yoga
• Gentle Yoga
• Pilates Fusion
• Balance, Strength and Mobility
• Aqua Fit
• Deep End Fitness Aqua Fit
• Aqua Chi
• Tai Chi
• Line Dance

Only the video exercise class is published as free; the calendar states no price for the instructor-led classes.

Walkways and Venetian-style bridges

This is the design idea that defines Verona Walk. The association says homes sit “along miles and miles of private lakefront peninsulas,” each ending at “a beautiful Venetian-style bridge and walkway system that unites the entire area,” and that “the walkways, which are lighted … are ideal for walking, biking, rollerblading and running” (association home page). DiVosta’s 2012 list led with the same feature: “Miles of Walkways & Venetian-style Bridges.”

Neither the association nor the builder publishes a mileage figure, and we have not measured one. The walkways belong to the association, and a home near a bridge can reach the Town Center, pools and courts without crossing a busy road.

Where Can You Eat and Shop Inside Verona Walk?

Inside the gates, Verona Walk’s Town Center has a full-service restaurant and bar, currently Verona Grill, beside the resort pool, plus Pink Frog Cafe for ice cream, a hair salon, a travel agency and a contract post office. The association’s 2024 description also lists a gas station, and vendors set up weekly in season.

Everything below is from the association’s undated Town Center Shops page or its 2024 requests for proposals; treat hours as its latest published listing, not a guarantee.

Verona Grill, the restaurant and bar

The association lists Verona Grill in Suite 5 of the Town Center, phone (239) 304-9543, on its Town Center Shops page. The space itself is described in the association’s July 2024 restaurant RFP: an “approximately 3,600 square foot full-service on-site restaurant and bar located within the Town Center complex,” plus an “outdoor screened-in area” of about 720 square feet, “adjacent to the community resort pool,” with a pool service window. The same document calls the restaurant and bar “the centerpiece” of the amenity set.

The association lists Verona Grill in the Town Center but does not publish its hours or whether non-residents may dine there.

In its July 2024 request for restaurant proposals, the association said it was finalizing plans to remodel the restaurant’s dining and bar areas and add outdoor seating and a patio bar. Whether that remodel has been completed is not stated in any public record we found. The RFP expected construction to begin in mid-2025 and warned that the restaurant would need to close for several months when it did, so a buyer touring in 2026 should look for themselves.

Pink Frog Cafe

Pink Frog Cafe is the ice cream shop. The association’s Town Center Shops page lists its hours as Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday noon to 8:30 p.m.; those are the hours as published by the association, so confirm before visiting. The association’s February 2024 RFP for the shop describes the space as “approximately 445 square foot (total) store-front retail space” in Suite 2, in “very close proximity to the community’s resort pool and the community’s main lake,” and the 2024 amenity description calls it “a casual ice cream/sandwich/coffee shop.” Pink Frog is also a location on the association’s events calendar.

The salon and the travel agency

The Veronawalk Salon is in Suite 3, phone (239) 302-5146, open Tuesday to Friday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., closed Sunday and Monday, per the association’s Town Center Shops page. Verona Travel, a travel agency, is listed on the same page. The builder’s 2012 list also named a “Beauty Salon & Boutique,” a “Bank” and a “Convenience Store”; the association’s current listing does not include a bank or a convenience store, so we do not describe either as present today.

The Verona Walk post office

The post office is in Suite 6. The counter is open 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Monday to Friday; the resident mailbox area is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week; and a mailbox and a UPS drop box stand outside, per the association’s Town Center Shops page. The association’s 2024 RFP calls it “a federally contracted post office,” and three Postal Office Clerks appear on the association’s staff directory. Mail is collected at the Town Center rather than at the curb.

Gas station and car-wash service

The association’s 2024 amenity description lists a gas station inside the community (Restaurant and Bar RFP, July 2024; the association’s February 2024 ice cream shop RFP says the same). The builder’s 2012 list included “Car Wash” and “Gas Pumps.” No 2026 association page restates the gas station, so confirm it is operating when you visit. For washing a car, the association’s current events calendar lists a mobile car-wash service that comes to a resident’s driveway, with online registration; we do not claim a fixed car wash for 2026.

Weekly vendors in season

The association’s events calendar brings a small market to the Town Center, mostly from October to May:

• A European-style bakery and a kitchen vendor on Thursday mornings
• A meat and seafood market every Thursday, 9 to 11 a.m.
• A produce vendor on Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
• Knife sharpening on the second Monday afternoon, at the Resort Pool parking lot
• A mobile dermatology unit monthly, by appointment
• The NCH Blood Mobile on occasion
• A mobile bike repair service

Shopping just outside the gates

The big errands are a few minutes away. Routed from the Town Center with OSRM on September 23, 2026:

The Walmart Supercenter at 6650 Collier Boulevard is about 2.4 road miles from Verona Walk’s main gate. Drive times are free-flow estimates without traffic, measured from the Town Center at 8090 Sorrento Lane; in-season traffic is longer.

A Costco with a fuel station is under construction about 1.9 road miles north, at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road; no opening date has been announced in a county record, and the section on nearby construction covers it.

What Clubs, Classes and Events Happen in Verona Walk?

Verona Walk runs a busy calendar through an association Activities Director: social clubs from quilting and gardening to three book clubs, fifteen card and game groups, performing arts groups for theater, chorus, tap and band, and Pickleball and Tennis Clubs. Most events are booked through Eventbrite and held in the Town Center’s ballroom and rooms.

Everything below is from the association’s Community Events Calendar, read September 23, 2026; groups come and go.

Social clubs

The association’s calendar lists these social clubs and groups:

• The Quilters
• A Women’s Fellowship Group
• Three book clubs
• A Philosophy Group
• A ladies’ lunch group, which meets off site
• The Garden Club of VeronaWalk

Cards and games

The calendar lists fifteen card and game groups. Among them are Canasta, Euchre, Men’s Poker and Ladies’ Poker, Mahjong, Pinochle, Mexican Train, Rummikub, Party Bridge and Bunco. Bingo runs on the second and fourth Wednesdays from October to June in the Ballroom. Most games meet in the Town Center’s smaller rooms, the Tuscany, Pompei, Napoli, Venice and Milan Rooms, which the calendar books by name.

Performing arts groups

Verona Walk’s PAC Performing Arts Groups meet weekly: Theater and Chorus on Mondays, Tap on Tuesdays and Band on Thursdays, per the association’s calendar. Performing Arts Group is a calendar category of its own, and performances use the Ballroom.

Sports clubs and leagues

The two organized sports clubs are the Pickleball Club and the Tennis Club, both association calendar categories. The Pickleball Club runs free beginner lessons that start in October and November, “Just for Fun” leagues in season and social gatherings, per its home page. The calendar also carries a CERT TEAM category, for the community’s volunteer emergency response team.

How the calendar works

The Activities Director listed on the association’s staff directory runs the program, and event sign-ups go through Eventbrite, linked from the association’s calendar. The calendar’s categories are Board Meeting, CERT TEAM, Committee Meeting, Community Event, Fitness Class, Holiday Celebration, Landscape Meeting, Performing Arts Group, PICKLEBALL, Private Event, Social Club, Special Events and Tennis Club.

How Storm-Ready Is Verona Walk?

Verona Walk sits inland, in Collier County Evacuation Zone D, and its recorded covenants acknowledge that the whole Winding Cypress development is in a hurricane vulnerability zone. After Hurricane Ian in 2022, the district’s inspector reported that the stormwater system worked as designed, and the National Hurricane Center’s surge model floods the community only in stronger storms.

Data updated: September 2026 (NHC, Collier County, CDD minutes, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

This section sets out what the public record measures: the evacuation map, the surge model and what the district said after each storm. The association’s board minutes and insurance records are not public; ask for them during the resale approval.

What the Declaration says about hurricanes

The covenants disclose the risk in plain words. The Third Amendment to the Declaration, recorded in December 2004 (Official Records Book 3703, Page 1957), added Section 23.7: “All properties within the Winding Cypress DRI, including VeronaWalk, are located in a hurricane vulnerability zone” (recorded amendments). That is a disclosure, not a finding about any storm.

The Declaration also puts duties on owners. Section 8.2 of the recorded Declaration includes hurricane-season departure duties for owners who leave the home unoccupied, and it requires the approval of the association’s architectural control committee before permanent hurricane shutters are installed.

Hurricane Irma, 2017

Irma came ashore close by. The National Hurricane Center’s Tropical Cyclone Report on Irma records that “Irma made its final landfall near Marco Island, Florida, at 1930 UTC 10 September” as a Category 3 hurricane, with maximum winds estimated at 100 knots. “The Naples Municipal Airport reported a 123-kt wind gust.” In Collier County, the report states, “at least 88 buildings were destroyed county-wide, and 1,500 buildings were badly damaged.” Maximum surge inundation of 3 to 5 feet above ground was recorded along the coast from Marco Island through Naples. The NHC report does not describe damage inside Verona Walk, and no public Verona Walk record we found does either.

Hurricane Ian, 2022

Ian brought the surge. The NHC’s Tropical Cyclone Report on Ian states that “The NOS tide gauge on Naples Pier measured 6.18 ft above MHHW before the station was destroyed,” that “Maximum inundation of 6 to 9 ft AGL occurred in Naples,” and that “In Collier County, 33 buildings were destroyed, and over 3,500 buildings sustained major damage.” The National Weather Service Miami office’s Ian summary lists the Naples Airport tower at 67 mph sustained winds with a 105 mph gust.

Inside Verona Walk, the record is the district’s. At its October 20, 2022 meeting, the Verona Walk Community Development District’s board took up a “Status Update of All Ponds Following Hurricane Ian,” and the district’s field inspector “advised that the system worked as designed and the water conditions were good” (district board book, December 15, 2022, holding the October 20 minutes). That statement is about the district’s lakes and stormwater system, not every home.

Helene and Milton, 2024

The 2024 storms left a short district record too. At the district’s November 21, 2024 meeting, the board discussed flooding in the Town Center South parking lot after “exceptionally high downpours on August 14, 16 & 18th”; the engineer reported the area is designed to let water filter out and is the association’s responsibility under the permits, and the field inspector reported visiting the site “the day after both Hurricanes Helene and Milton” and finding “no standing water in the parking lot,” noting that landscape debris in inlets can slow drainage “but the system did work” (district board book, December 19, 2024, holding the November 21 minutes).

Federal flood-claim data give a sense of how the storm years hit the wider area. FEMA’s NFIP redacted claims file (queried September 24, 2026) records 342 flood insurance claims in ZIP 34114, which covers a much larger area than Verona Walk: 118 in 2017, 151 in 2022 and 36 in 2024, with no other year above seven. Those counts describe all of East Naples 34114, including older and lower neighborhoods near the coast, and cannot be read as Verona Walk claims.

Storm surge scenarios for Verona Walk

The National Hurricane Center’s storm surge risk maps model a near-worst-case, high-tide hurricane. In that model a Category 1 storm produces no mapped surge at Verona Walk, a Category 2 storm floods the southern Phase 4 plats by more than 3 feet above ground, and a Category 3 or stronger storm floods the whole community. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast or a history.

The NHC describes its National Storm Surge Risk Maps as the “near worst-case scenario of flooding under ideal storm conditions,” built from high-tide SLOSH model runs (version 4, with the Gulf and East Coast reprocessed in 2025). We read the NHC’s map service at 25 points spread across all 19 Verona Walk plats on September 23, 2026:

The pattern matches the flood map in the next section: the southern Phase 4 plats sit closer to the combined coastal flood area and see water first.

Evacuation Zone D

All of Verona Walk is in Collier County Evacuation Zone D, on the county’s Hurricane Evacuation Zone layer (layer updated August 20, 2026, queried September 23, 2026). Zone C begins about 90 meters west of the westernmost home, along Collier Boulevard. Collier County’s Coastal High Hazard Area layer touches the edge of the community’s census boundary, but the overlap computes to effectively zero, so effectively none of Verona Walk lies in the Coastal High Hazard Area.

Collier County issues evacuation orders by zone letter, so a Verona Walk resident should listen for Zone D by name. Because the Zone C boundary runs just west of the community, an order that names Zone C alone does not cover Verona Walk, even though Zone C starts across the road. For leaving the area, I-75 at Exit 101 is about 11 minutes from the Town Center without traffic; evacuation traffic is far longer.

The association’s hurricane-season protocol

The association publishes a hurricane letter each year. Its Hurricane Season 2026 letter (dated March 20, 2026) says that when a Hurricane Watch is issued, staff secure the common areas and “shut down the property’s equipment such as the gate equipment and fountain water pumps,” and that departing residents sign “the security log.”

The Declaration also anticipates that the association “may, but shall not be obligated to,” support activities “designed to make the community safer,” and that it is not an insurer of security (Section 4.8 of the Declaration). The CERT TEAM on the association’s events calendar is the volunteer side of the same preparation.

What Flood Zone Is Verona Walk In?

On FEMA’s flood map effective February 8, 2024, about 70 percent of Verona Walk homes are in Zone AH and about 30 percent, mostly in the southern plats, are in Zone AE, with base flood elevations of 8 to 9.5 feet. FEMA has also issued amendments removing many lots and homes from the high-risk area.

Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer and LOMC records, retrieved 23 Sep 2026)

The 2024 flood map for Verona Walk

The map is Collier County’s (community number 120067), on two panels: 12021C0608J, which covers most homes, and 12021C0606J, which covers some northwest homes in Phases 1A, 1B, 2A and 2B, both effective February 8, 2024, per FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer panel index. Collier County confirms the date in its 2026 Flood Protection Newsletter: “The county’s DFIRM became effective on 02/08/2024.” That map replaced the maps published in 2012, according to the county’s 311 knowledge base. No Letter of Map Revision, which would redraw the map itself, touches the community.

Zone AH in the north, Zone AE in the south

We joined every one of the 1,920 homes on Collier County’s 2026 roll to FEMA’s flood hazard zones on September 23, 2026:

The split is geographic. The north and center of the community, Phases 1, 2 and 3 and the townhome plats, are almost entirely AH. The south and south-west, the Phase 4 plats and their replats, are almost entirely AE. Of the 576 AE homes, 454 fall in the study FEMA labels “combined riverine and coastal floodplain,” which is the same southern area the surge model reaches first in the storm section above. None of Verona Walk is in a coastal velocity zone.

Base flood elevations

The base flood elevation is the height FEMA expects the 1-percent-annual-chance flood to reach. FEMA’s BFE lines crossing Verona Walk carry four values, all in feet above the NAVD88 datum: 8.0 (ten lines), 8.5 (eight lines), 9.0 (one line) and 9.5 (one line). By the nearest mapped line, 846 homes sit near an 8.0-foot BFE, 1,065 near an 8.5-foot BFE and 9 near a 9.0-foot BFE. The nearest line can be more than half a mile from a lot, so these are indicative figures; the controlling number for a specific home is on its FIRMette or its elevation certificate.

Letters of Map Amendment, before and after 2024

A Letter of Map Amendment, or LOMA, is FEMA’s determination that a specific lot or structure sits above the base flood elevation and is removed from the high-risk area, even though the map still shows the zone. Verona Walk has a deep LOMA record. FEMA’s LOMA layer lists 204 completed determinations naming Veronawalk: one in 2010, 77 in 2012, three in 2013, two in 2014 and 121 in 2024.

The builder-era cases include 16 multi-lot removals that cover whole phases. Case 12-04-7416A, dated September 4, 2012, is titled “VERONAWALK PHASES 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3A & 3B.” Others cover Phase 4C lot ranges (12-04-7489A), Townhomes Phase Two (12-04-7491A and 14-04-7897A), Phase 4D’s Genova Court (12-04-7490A), the Model Center (12-04-7225A) and Phase 4B and its replat (10-04-6306A).

Those older letters survived the 2024 remap. FEMA’s revalidation letter, Case 18-04-0009V, effective February 9, 2024, lists the LOMAs and LOMR-Fs in unincorporated Collier County “that are still valid as of the effective date” of the new map, and every one of the 83 pre-2024 Verona Walk cases appears in its table. Then, between April 4 and November 22, 2024, FEMA issued 121 new single-structure LOMAs for Verona Walk homes, and 120 of them placed the house in Zone X (shaded). The flooding source on those determinations is “ponding/overland flow,” meaning rainfall, not tidal surge. In 116 of the 121, FEMA noted that the new letter supersedes a previous determination, which indicates that owners already covered by a builder-era letter obtained a structure-specific one on the 2024 panel.

One 2024 example shows what a letter says. Case 24-04-5934A, a Phase 2C home determined on August 26, 2024, removed the structure from the high-risk area and placed it in Zone X (shaded), noting that portions of the lot remain in the flood zone. Its key sentence is the one that matters at a closing: “the Federal mandatory flood insurance requirement does not apply. However, the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance requirement” (FEMA determination 24-04-5934A).

Ground elevation versus the flood elevation

The LOMAs are consistent with the ground. On the 121 homes with 2024 letters, FEMA recorded lowest adjacent grades of 9.2 to 12.3 feet NAVD88, with a median of 10.4 feet, against mapped BFEs of 8.0 to 9.5 feet (FEMA determination documents). At 25 sample lots across all 19 plats, the U.S. Geological Survey’s 3DEP elevation service (2018 LiDAR, queried September 23, 2026) returns ground elevations of 9.65 to 12.68 feet NAVD88, about 1.1 to 4.7 feet above the nearest mapped BFE.

The district’s 2006 engineer’s report described the land before development as “flat with elevations ranging from 4.0 to 10.0 feet NGVD.” NGVD and NAVD88 are different datums, and no public record states how much fill was placed, so we do not publish a fill depth. Ground at a lot’s center is also not the floor of the house: the finished-floor elevation on an elevation certificate is the number an insurer uses.

Flood zone by plat

Every Verona Walk plat, with its homes by 2026 flood zone, from FEMA’s flood hazard zones joined to Collier County’s 2026 roll, the nearest mapped base flood elevation at the plat’s sample lots, and USGS 3DEP ground elevation at those sample lots (one or two per plat), all as of September 23, 2026. Every plat is on panel 12021C0608J except where noted.

The sample ground elevations are single points, not a survey of each plat, and the BFE column is the nearest mapped line to the sample, not a lender determination. Read the table for its pattern: every plat’s sample ground sits above its nearest BFE, and the AE plats are the southern ones.

How to check a specific home

Two lookups settle a specific home. First, search the address on FEMA’s Map Service Center, which returns the effective panel, a printable FIRMette and any LOMA or LOMR-F issued for that property; for a builder-era multi-lot letter, the Map Service Center’s LOMC search by case number returns the document. Second, ask for the home’s elevation certificate. Flood insurance cost depends on each home’s elevation certificate and whether FEMA has issued a Letter of Map Amendment for it; both are specific to the address.

If you are selling, have both in hand before you list: a copy of the LOMA and an elevation certificate answer the first question every insured buyer’s lender will ask. To price a home with its flood status in view, get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072. If you are buying, call Marc at (239) 287-5873, read how we represent buyers in Southwest Florida, and ask us to pull the FEMA record for any home before you write an offer.

What Should You Know About Insuring a Home in Verona Walk?

Insuring a Verona Walk home turns on three records: whether FEMA has amended the home out of the high-risk flood zone, the age of the roof, and the home’s wind-mitigation features. Collier County’s Class 5 rating in FEMA’s Community Rating System earns eligible flood policies in the high-risk zone a 25 percent discount.

Data updated: September 2026 (FEMA CRS list April 1, 2026; Florida Statutes; Citizens; OpenFEMA, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

We do not quote premiums, because no public record prices a policy for a specific Verona Walk home. Flood insurance cost depends on each home’s elevation certificate and whether FEMA has issued a Letter of Map Amendment for it; both are specific to the address.

Flood insurance and what your lender may require

Federal flood insurance rules follow the map, which puts nearly every Verona Walk lot in a Special Flood Hazard Area. A Letter of Map Amendment lifts the federal purchase requirement for the lot or structure it covers, though, in FEMA’s words, “the lender has the option to continue the flood insurance requirement.”

So there are three situations a buyer can be in:

1. The home has a valid LOMA. The federal mandatory purchase requirement does not apply, but the lender may still require a flood policy. A buyer can still choose to carry a policy voluntarily; the rating then follows the amended zone.
2. The lot is covered by a builder-era multi-lot LOMA but the house has no structure-specific letter. FEMA revalidated those letters in 2024 (Case 18-04-0009V). Whether an older lot-based letter satisfies a particular lender is the lender’s call, so get the letter in front of the lender early.
3. No LOMA covers the home. The home is rated in Zone AH or AE, and a lender making a federally backed loan requires flood insurance. An elevation certificate is then the document that drives the rate.

Collier County’s Community Rating System discount

Unincorporated Collier County holds Class 5 in FEMA’s Community Rating System, which gives eligible flood insurance policies in the Special Flood Hazard Area a 25 percent discount (FEMA list effective April 1, 2026). The FEMA CRS eligible-communities list records that Collier County (community 120067) entered the program on October 1, 1992 and has held Class 5 since October 1, 2015. Verona Walk is in unincorporated Collier County, so its NFIP policies in the high-risk zone qualify.

Flood policies in ZIP 34114

FEMA’s redacted policies data (queried September 24, 2026) counts 3,910 National Flood Insurance Program policies in ZIP 34114 with effective dates from September 1, 2025 to August 2, 2026. ZIP 34114 covers a much larger area than Verona Walk, so that is a measure of how widely flood insurance is carried in East Naples, not a Verona Walk count. FEMA froze that dataset on June 1, 2026 and is moving users to version 3. We publish no Verona Walk claim count because FEMA’s geography does not isolate the community; the ZIP’s claims, set out in the storm section, cluster in 2017, 2022 and 2024.

Roof age and Florida law

Roof age is the second record that drives a Verona Walk policy. Florida Statutes section 627.7011(5) says an insurer “may not refuse to issue or refuse to renew a homeowner’s policy insuring a residential structure with a roof that is less than 15 years old solely because of the age of the roof.” For a roof at least 15 years old, the insurer must allow an inspection at the homeowner’s expense before requiring replacement, and “may not refuse to issue or refuse to renew … solely because of roof age if an inspection … indicates that the roof has 5 years or more of useful life remaining.”

Citizens Property Insurance adds its own thresholds on its inspections page: “Roofs older than 25 years (soft such as shingle or similar) or 50 years (hard such as tile, slate, clay, concrete or metal) require documentation showing at least five years of remaining useful life.”

For Verona Walk, the arithmetic follows the build dates. A Verona Walk home completed in 2005 turned 20 in 2025, the age at which Citizens requires a four-point inspection; a roof original to a home built before about 2011 is now past 15 years, the line at which Florida law lets an insurer require an inspection. We have not counted how many Verona Walk roofs have been replaced, and we do not state what any home’s roof is made of; the permit history for the specific address is the record.

Four-point and wind-mitigation inspections

Two inspections come up in almost every Verona Walk insurance quote. Citizens requires a four-point inspection, covering roof, electrical, plumbing and heating and air conditioning, “for all property owner, dwelling and mobile home applications for properties more than 20 years old” (Citizens inspections). The wind-mitigation inspection documents features such as roof attachment, roof-to-wall connections and opening protection that “may qualify homeowners for premium discounts.”

The Declaration matters here too. Permanent hurricane shutters need the approval of the association’s architectural control committee under Section 8.2 of the Declaration, so an owner adding opening protection to earn a wind-mitigation credit should file the architectural application first.

Building-code era of Verona Walk homes

Every Verona Walk home was permitted under a statewide Florida Building Code edition. The Florida Building Commission’s effective-dates table lists:

Which edition applies to a particular home depends on its permit date, which is on the county’s permit record for the address.

The association carries its own insurance on the common areas and the Town Center under Section 7.1 of the Declaration. The association’s insurance schedule is not public; ask for it during the resale approval.

Which Schools Serve Verona Walk?

Every Verona Walk address is zoned for Lely Elementary, Manatee Middle and Lely High. We checked 43 addresses on every interior street against Collier County Public Schools’ own lookup for both 2025-26 and 2026-27, and all 43 returned the same three schools. Lely Elementary and Manatee Middle earned an A for 2025-26; Lely High earned a B.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County Public Schools address lookup for 2025-26 and 2026-27; CCPS 2025-26 grades; NCES 2024-25, retrieved 23 Sep 2026)

Zoned schools, address by address

On September 23, 2026 we sent one home address from every interior street in Verona Walk, 43 addresses across 16 of the 19 plats (the other three plats share streets already sampled), to the address lookup behind Collier County Public Schools’ own zoning tool, once for the 2026-27 school year and once for 2025-26 (CCPS lookup, 2026-27; CCPS lookup, 2025-26). Every query returned exactly one match, and all 43 addresses returned the same three schools in both years. The district’s 2025-26 record also carries its rezoning fields, and every Verona Walk address kept the same three schools, so the district’s 2026-27 boundary process did not move the community.

Enrollment and addresses are from the National Center for Education Statistics’ Common Core of Data for 2024-25; grades are 2025-26 school grades, as published by Collier County Public Schools in its 2025-2026 School and District Grades report. Drive times are free-flow estimates without traffic, measured from the Town Center at 8090 Sorrento Lane; in-season traffic is longer, and school-hour traffic on Collier Boulevard is its own consideration.

Lely Elementary School

Lely Elementary serves pre-kindergarten through fifth grade at 8125 Lely Cultural Parkway, with 499 students and about 37 full-time teachers in 2024-25, a ratio of about 13 students per teacher (NCES). It earned an A for 2025-26, its third straight A after two B years, per the CCPS grades report. It is the closest of the three, across Collier Boulevard in ZIP 34113.

Manatee Middle School

Manatee Middle serves grades 6 to 8 at 1920 Manatee Road, in the same 34114 ZIP code as Verona Walk, with 781 students and 41 full-time teachers in 2024-25 (NCES). It earned an A for 2025-26 and an A for 2024-25, after three B years, per the CCPS grades report.

Lely High School

Lely High serves grades 9 to 12 at 1 Lely High School Boulevard, with 1,475 students and about 70 full-time teachers in 2024-25 (NCES). It earned a B for 2025-26 after an A the year before; the Naples Daily News reported that “Lely High School and Palmetto Ridge High School both went from an A to a B grade” (Marco Eagle / Naples Daily News, July 22, 2026).

The district around these schools is strong. Collier County Public Schools earned an A for 2025-26, its ninth consecutive A, and ranked sixth of Florida’s 67 districts, per the CCPS grades report and the same Naples Daily News report.

Charter schools in Collier County

Charter schools are public schools open by application, not by address. The nearest to Verona Walk, from the NCES charter list for Collier County with 2025-26 grades from the CCPS grades report, routed from the Town Center with OSRM on September 23, 2026:

NCES notes that inclusion in its survey does not constitute an endorsement and does not indicate accreditation.

School choice and out-of-zone requests

Collier County Public Schools runs Controlled Open Enrollment under Board Policy 5120, “Parental Choice: Controlled Open Enrollment (Out-of-Zone and School Choice)” (CCPS Parental Choice page, published August 31, 2026; Board Policy 5120). There are two tracks. Out-of-Zone is for families “with documented needs or hardships as listed in Board Policy 5120.” School Choice is for families “exercising Choice without respect to or limitations upon their reasons.”

For 2026-27 the district’s page states that the priority windows are now closed. Families are “strongly encouraged to select three (3) schools,” and a new application is required when a student changes level; the district warns that “No expectations should be made for acceptance into feeder pattern schools.” Once approved, a student may stay at that school through its top grade without reapplying each year.

For a family buying in Verona Walk, one rule matters most: a household moving into a zone can file an Out-of-Zone request before the move with a fully executed purchase contract, or a lease, showing the expected date, per the CCPS Parental Choice page. The district’s Student Assignment office is at (239) 377-0540.

Where Is the Nearest Hospital to Verona Walk?

The nearest hospital to Verona Walk is Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier Boulevard, a 130-bed acute care hospital with a 24-hour emergency room about 2 miles north of the Town Center, roughly 5 minutes without traffic. NCH’s immediate care on Collier Boulevard is about a mile away, and NCH Baker Hospital is downtown.

Data updated: September 2026

Every distance below is a road distance and free-flow drive time from the Town Center, computed with the OSRM routing engine on September 23, 2026; in-season traffic is longer.

Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier Boulevard

Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier Boulevard, at 8300 Collier Blvd, Naples 34114, is the hospital most Verona Walk households will use first. The operator’s own Collier Boulevard hospital page describes “a 212,400 square-foot, 130-bed acute care facility” with “24-hour emergency room (ER) services,” accredited by the Joint Commission. The hospital sits inside its own planned development, the Collier Regional Medical Center PUD, which Collier County’s PUD layer places about half a mile from Verona Walk’s northern edge.

Most of the county’s larger hospital campuses are in central and North Naples, 10 to 20 miles away, and this is the nearest emergency room listed in the directories of either of Naples’ two hospital operators.

Urgent and immediate care nearby

For the cut, the sprain or the fever that does not need an emergency room, the closest option is NCH Medical Group Immediate Care, Southeast, at 7717 Collier Blvd, Suite 100, Naples 34113, listed in the NCH location directory. It is the closest medical door to Verona Walk of any kind.

Physicians Regional also runs walk-in clinics, listed on its urgent care page. Besides the East Naples and Marco Island clinics in the table, the Pine Ridge Urgent Care at 6376 Pine Ridge Rd, open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, is roughly 15 miles and 24 minutes away (routed to a street-level location, so approximate).

Sources: facility types and addresses from the NCH location directory, the Physicians Regional Collier Boulevard page and the Physicians Regional urgent care page, read September 23, 2026; drive times from OSRM on the OpenStreetMap network, free-flow, from 8090 Sorrento Lane.

NCH hospitals in Naples

NCH Healthcare System’s two hospitals are both farther from Verona Walk than Physicians Regional. NCH Baker Hospital downtown and NCH North Naples Hospital are both listed with emergency departments in the NCH directory; their drives are in the table above. NCH also lists an emergency department at 15420 Collier Blvd in the Northeast, which its location page shows as open 24 hours every day; we did not compute a drive time to it because no geocoder matched that address.

On the calendar inside the gates, the association’s community events calendar lists visits from the NCH Blood Mobile and a mobile dermatology unit in the Town Center parking area during season. These are visiting services, not a clinic, and Verona Walk has no medical office of its own.

Fire rescue and emergency services

Verona Walk is inside the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District, per Collier County’s fire district layer. The district is funded through the property tax bill, at 2.0000 mills for fiscal 2026 under its FY2025-26 approved budget. Collier County’s Emergency Services Center, a county facility on the Collier Boulevard corridor, sits about 0.7 mile from the community’s edge on the county’s development-review project layer, where its most recent site-plan amendment is recorded as complete.

Emergency medical response comes from the fire district and the county, as anywhere in unincorporated Collier County; the association’s role in an emergency is limited to the property.

How Long Are the Drives From Verona Walk?

From Verona Walk’s Town Center, a Publix is about 6 minutes away, I-75 about 11, downtown Naples and Fifth Avenue South about 20, the Naples Pier about 23 and Southwest Florida International Airport about 51, all measured without traffic. In season, US 41 and Collier Boulevard drives run longer.

Data updated: September 2026 (OpenStreetMap routing, free-flow, from 8090 Sorrento Lane, run 23 Sep 2026)

We geocoded the Town Center with the US Census Bureau geocoder and routed every trip on the OpenStreetMap road network with the OSRM routing engine on September 23, 2026. OSRM has no traffic model, so these are off-peak figures; from January to April, traffic on US 41, Collier Boulevard and I-75 adds time, sometimes a lot of it. A handful of figures below are measured from the main gate on VeronaWalk Boulevard instead, and each one is labeled that way.

The Florida Department of Transportation’s 2025 traffic counts break their Collier Boulevard segments at “VERONA WALK BLVD,” so the community entrance is a named boundary in the state’s own traffic record.

Everyday errands

The nearest supermarkets are Publix #811 at Naples Lakes Village Center, north, and Publix #516 at Freedom Square, south near US 41. Walmart Supercenter #3417 at 6650 Collier Blvd is about 2.4 road miles and 5 minutes from the main gate.

A new Costco is under construction about 1.9 road miles and 4 minutes north of the gate, far closer than the existing Naples Costco in the table; the next section covers it.

Downtown Naples, beaches and Marco Island

Downtown Naples is about 20 minutes away without traffic, and Verona Walk is one of the closer Naples communities to Marco Island, straight south on Collier Boulevard. North Naples beaches take longer, and the nearest salt water is the Rookery Bay reserve to the south-west.

Airports and the interstate

The route to Southwest Florida International Airport runs 5.6 miles up Collier Boulevard and then 29.2 miles on I-75; Naples Airport, at 160 Aviation Dr N, is the general aviation and charter field; and the Exit 101 interchange is being rebuilt, as the next section describes. Downtown Miami is about 2 hours 23 minutes by I-75, I-595, Florida’s Turnpike and I-95. Measured from the main gate rather than the Town Center, the US 41 and Collier Boulevard intersection is 1.9 road miles and about 3 minutes, and the Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road intersection about 1.6 road miles and 3 minutes, per the county’s road centerline layer and OSRM.

Parks and preserves nearby

Verona Walk sits at the edge of some of the largest protected land in Southwest Florida. On the Florida Natural Areas Inventory’s conservation lands layer, the Picayune Strand State Forest touches the community’s eastern edge (a generalized boundary, so approximate), and the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve and Collier-Seminole State Park are close by, as the table shows.

County parks are close, too. On Collier County’s parks layer, they include Donna Fiala Eagle Lakes Community Park at 11565 Tamiami Trail East, Sugden Regional Park at 284 Avalon Drive and Paradise Coast Sports Complex at 3940 City Gate Blvd North.

What Is Being Built Near Verona Walk?

The biggest project near Verona Walk is a Costco with a fuel station under construction about 1.9 road miles north, at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road inside Hacienda Lakes. Tamarindo is being built just north across Sabal Palm Road, Winding Cypress is finishing to the south, and FDOT is rebuilding the I-75 interchange at Exit 101.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County zoning, PUD and development-review layers; FDOT project pages, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

Verona Walk itself is built out, so we queried Collier County’s zoning, planned unit development, future land use and development-review layers for everything within about two miles on September 24, 2026, and read the state’s and county’s road project lists. Growth is concentrated north of the community along Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road, and at the US 41 and Collier Boulevard crossroads to the south, while the land to the east is preserve and rural fringe.

Costco at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road

Costco is building a warehouse store with a fuel station on a 26-acre site at the southeast corner of Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road, inside the Hacienda Lakes development, about 1.9 road miles north of Verona Walk’s gate. Local reporting in 2026 anticipated a fall 2026 opening; no opening date has been announced in a county record. The zoning actions that cleared the site, Resolution 25-216 and Ordinance 25-47, were adopted on October 14, 2025, according to Collier County’s zoning layer and zoning exception layer. The site development plan still showed “Under Review” on the county’s development-review project layer on September 24, 2026 (layer values can lag the county’s permit portal).

A March 2026 Marco Eagle report described the submitted plan as a store of about 162,700 square feet with about 820 parking spaces, and reported, from county records, that Costco paid $19.4 million for the parcel. For Verona Walk owners the store is a convenience and a traffic factor. FDOT’s 2025 counts already put Collier Boulevard at 47,500 vehicles a day north of Rattlesnake Hammock Road and 45,500 just south of it.

Hacienda Lakes, the largest entitlement next door

Hacienda Lakes is the planned development that wraps Verona Walk’s north-east side, a mixed-use PUD of about 2,330 GIS acres on the county’s PUD layer. It was zoned by Ordinance 11-41 and has been amended repeatedly since, most recently by a hearing examiner decision, HEX 26-11, on March 9, 2026, per the county zoning layer. Inside it, the county’s project layer records the Esplanade at Hacienda Lakes, Azure at Hacienda Lakes, Allegro and Cadenza neighborhoods, most of them under construction or complete, between about 0.4 and 0.9 mile from Verona Walk’s edge.

The same development carries the road and job pieces of the plan: the Hacienda Lakes Parkway, about half a mile away and recorded as complete; Hacienda Boulevard Phase 1, about a mile away and still under review; and the Hacienda Lakes Business Park, whose tracts are under construction between about 0.5 and 0.8 mile away. Farther north, about 1.6 to 1.9 miles from the community, Seven Shores (formerly Hacienda North) is building homes, an amenity center and apartments.

Tamarindo and Allamanda Estates to the north

The closest construction to Verona Walk is directly across Sabal Palm Road. Tamarindo is being built on the Rockedge residential PUD, about 106 acres, with its plat recorded and its amenity center under construction, per the county’s project layer and PUD layer. The Rockedge PUD was approved by Ordinance 06-31 in 2006 and amended in 2016, 2020 and 2021. Next to it, Allamanda Estates, a small single-family rezoning of about 1.4 acres to RSF-3 under Ordinance 22-15 (2022), is also under construction. Tamarindo has its own community development district on the county’s CDD layer, so it is a separate community with separate finances, not an extension of Verona Walk.

Two smaller records are worth knowing about on this side. A construction-plans application for 341 Sabal Palm Road, about 0.3 mile from the community’s edge, was under review, and the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission had a site plan amendment under review on a parcel on the Sabal Palm Road side.

Winding Cypress, Naples Reserve and the south

To the south, the neighboring Winding Cypress community is finishing its last phases. The county’s project layer lists Winding Cypress Phase 1, Unit Two, Phases 2, 2C and 3, and Unit 3 between Verona Walk’s edge and about 0.74 mile away, most of them recorded as complete and Unit 3 at site inspection.

About 0.9 mile to the south-east, Naples Reserve is a 688-acre lakes community built under its own planned unit development, the Naples Reserve Golf Club PUD, and Collier County’s PUD Master List of June 11, 2026 counts 1,075 homes built there. West across Collier Boulevard, Lely Resort, a golf resort community of about 2,890 GIS acres, has a multi-family site plan under construction about 0.03 mile from the Verona Walk frontage. Farther south along Collier Boulevard, Ekos Creekside (about 1.4 miles) and Summerlit (about 2.0 miles) are under construction.

The one new planned development approved within a mile in 2026 is small: the Copperstone Estates residential PUD, about 4 acres, approved by Ordinance 26-16 in 2026, about 0.9 mile south-west on the county’s PUD layer. Commercial growth to the south is concentrated at the US 41 and Collier Boulevard crossroads, which the county’s future land use plan designates Activity Center 18, about 0.6 mile from the community’s edge on the activity center layer; Activity Center 7, at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road, holds the Costco site about 0.75 mile to the north.

Sources: Collier County development-review project layer, PUD layer and PUD Master List, retrieved September 24, 2026; distances are measured edge to edge from the Verona Walk census area. Details of these projects are in Collier County’s development-review records.

The I-75 interchange at Exit 101

The Florida Department of Transportation is reconstructing the I-75 interchange at Collier Boulevard (State Road 951), Exit 101, the interchange Verona Walk owners use to reach the airport and Fort Myers. According to FDOT’s project page for FPID 425843-2, updated September 17, 2026, the work adds loop ramps and flyover ramps and rebuilds Collier Boulevard for about 1.3 miles between Business Circle South and City Gate Drive, at a construction cost of $97 million. Construction started in early 2023, completion is estimated for late 2026, and the new southbound I-75 on-ramp is already open.

The county’s larger widening project on Collier Boulevard, taking it from four to six lanes between City Gate Boulevard North and Green Boulevard, is north of I-75, about 5.6 miles north of the Verona Walk gate, and is listed at 90 percent design on the county’s Transportation Engineering projects page.

Preserve land and Rural Fringe land to the east

East of Verona Walk, the map turns from suburban to preserve. The Hacienda Lakes Conservation Easement, held by the South Florida Water Management District on privately owned land, touches the community’s eastern edge on the FNAI conservation lands layer, and the Picayune Strand State Forest, more than 74,000 acres managed by the Florida Forest Service, lies just beyond. Collier County’s Rural Fringe Mixed Use District layer shows “Sending” land touching the community’s north and east edges. The nearest “Receiving” land, where transferred rights can be used, is about 0.9 mile away.

What is not planned: no road widening in front of Verona Walk

Neither the state nor the county has a widening or reconstruction scheduled on the roads that touch Verona Walk. Collier County’s Transportation Engineering projects page listed 15 projects on September 24, 2026, and none was on Collier Boulevard south of I-75, US 41 East, Sabal Palm Road or Rattlesnake Hammock Road. FDOT’s list of future Collier County projects had no project on US 41 at or east of Collier Boulevard and no State Road 951 project other than the Exit 101 interchange.

One neighborly item appears in the Verona Walk Community Development District’s own records: the district engineer is coordinating a drainage and access easement with the Winding Cypress Community Development District, according to the agenda book for the district’s August 20, 2026 board meeting.

How Do the Gate, Leasing, Pets, Utilities and Trash Work in Verona Walk?

Day to day, Verona Walk runs on its recorded Declaration: a staffed main gate with online visitor registration, leases of at least four months with association approval, household pets in reasonable numbers, vehicles like boats and trucks kept in garages, utility water and sewer, and county curbside trash. The association’s detailed Rules and Regulations are not public.

Data updated: September 2026 (VeronaWalk Declaration and amendments; association forms modified July 30, 2025; Collier County Resolution 2025-184, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

Every rule below comes from one of three public records: the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for VeronaWalk, recorded February 23, 2004 at Official Records Book 3506, Page 903; its recorded amendments, including the members’ 2008 amendment at Official Records Book 4384, Page 1501; and the forms the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association posts on its management portal. The association’s Rules and Regulations and architectural guidelines are not public; they are provided to buyers during the resale approval.

The gate, guests and visitor registration

Both of Verona Walk’s gate structures appear in Collier County’s address point layer: the main gate about 200 metres east of Collier Boulevard on VeronaWalk Boulevard, and the south gate where Karina Court and Benelli Court meet Winding Cypress Boulevard. How the south gate operates is not published. The association’s home page states that “the gated entrance … is manned 24-hours a day” and offers owners an online “Register Your Visitors” tool “for faster access into the property.”

At a Hurricane Watch, staff shut down the gate equipment, per the association’s Hurricane Season 2026 letter, and under Section 4.8 of the Declaration the association is not an insurer of anyone’s security.

Open houses and showings

Open houses are allowed in Verona Walk on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. only, under the association’s Open House Information notice of October 17, 2025. Guests arriving at the gate for an open house “must give the address of the Open House, or they will be denied access.” Private showings run through the visitor registration system: the listing agent or the seller registers the buyer and the buyer’s agent ahead of time so the gate expects them.

Leasing rules

Verona Walk’s recorded Declaration requires every lease to be in writing and for a term of not less than four months, and a copy must reach the association before the tenant moves in. We found no cap on the number of leases per year in the Declaration or its recorded amendments. The association’s current lease application, modified July 30, 2025, adds a $100 non-refundable fee (none on a renewal) and asks for submission at least 30 days before move-in, with a copy of the lease, identification for every occupant over 18 and the owner’s insurance declaration page. Its Rules and Regulations are not public; they are provided to buyers during the resale approval, so a buyer who plans to rent the home should read them before closing.

The four-month minimum is in Article XIX, Section 19.2 of the Declaration, not on the lease form, which states no minimum term. Section 19.2 also binds the tenant to the Declaration, requires the lease to say who pays the assessments, and delegates the owner’s right to use the common areas, including the Town Center, to the tenant for the lease term. Adding another adult resident later uses the association’s additional resident application, which carries a $50 fee.

Occupancy is single-family: both the purchase and lease forms state that the Declaration requires single-family residence, and Section 8.2 of the Declaration permits units to be used “solely for Single Family purposes,” with no business use.

Buying: association approval

Every Verona Walk sale needs the association’s approval before closing. The association’s purchase application, modified July 30, 2025, asks for a $100 non-refundable fee at least 30 days before closing (waived for a current owner moving within Verona Walk), and states “No Roommates permitted.” The association inspects the home’s exterior before it approves, and outstanding compliance issues must be corrected first. Under Section 19.3 of the Declaration the association issues its approval certificate within 10 business days, and under Section 19.4 it may disapprove a sale while the owner is delinquent or in violation.

At closing, buyers also pay the resale capital contribution set out in the Fee Stack section, under the association’s Resale Capital Contribution Fund notice.

Pets

Section 8.2(D) of the recorded Declaration allows dogs, cats and other household pets, not for commercial purposes and not “in numbers deemed unreasonable by the Board.” No animal that is a nuisance may be kept, and no dog “of mean or of violent temperament.” Pets must be leashed in the common areas, owners must clean up after them, and a pet that becomes obnoxious must be removed on written notice. The Declaration sets no numeric limit and no weight limit. The association’s Rules and Regulations and architectural guidelines are not public; they are provided to buyers during the resale approval, and any further pet rule as the board administers it would be there.

Vehicles, parking and golf carts

Under Section 8.2 of the Declaration, as amended by the members in 2008, commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, trailers, boats and motorcycles must be kept in a garage, and no vehicle may be parked overnight on a street or swale. The 2008 amendment added rules on unlicensed vehicles and vehicles in disrepair, and on personal-use trucks. Golf carts are allowed inside the community only, garaged and insured, as the golf section explains.

Architectural control and exterior maintenance

Exterior changes in Verona Walk need the approval of the association’s Architectural Control Committee. The Declaration bars above-ground pools, bars exterior antennas and satellite dishes without committee approval, and requires the committee’s consent for permanent hurricane shutters. The 2008 amendment limits holiday lights to the period from Thanksgiving to January 10.

The most consequential exterior rule for owners of attached homes dates from 2015. A recorded amendment on roof cleaning and house painting, Official Records Book 5140, Page 2683, moved exterior wall cleaning and painting and roof cleaning of zero-lot-line, attached and townhouse homes to the owners. A buyer of a villa or townhome should therefore ask when the building was last painted and the roof last cleaned, because those are now owner costs. This summary reflects the Declaration and the recorded amendments the association posts publicly.

Water, sewer, trash and mail

Water and sewer are metered and billed by the utility, not the association, on lines built for dedication to Collier County Utilities; trash, recycling, yard waste and bulk pickup are a county service on the tax bill; cable and internet are not published as an association service; and mail comes through the Town Center’s contract post office, which has a UPS drop box outside. The table sums up each service.

Verona Walk vs Island Walk vs Village Walk of Naples: Which Walk Community Fits You?

Verona Walk, Island Walk and Village Walk of Naples are DiVosta’s three Walk communities in Collier County, and they share a plan of lakes, bridges and a Town Center. Verona Walk is the newest and largest, and the only one with a community development district. Island Walk bundles cable and internet; Village Walk sits entirely outside FEMA’s high-risk flood zone.

Data updated: September 2026 (each association’s own published documents; Collier County 2026 preliminary roll; FEMA NFHL, retrieved 23 to 24 Sep 2026)

Because the three Walk communities look alike on a brochure, buyers often shortlist all three, and the differences that decide the choice are in the records: the district, the fees, the flood maps, the schools and the size.

Island Walk, DiVosta’s North Naples Walk community, is the closest match to Verona Walk in plan and amenities, and it is the rival most Verona Walk buyers compare first. Village Walk of Naples, the first of the three, is smaller, older and entirely detached and paired-villa housing. Every cell in the table below comes from the community’s own published documents or a government record; where the research did not reach a yardstick for one community, the cell says “not compared” rather than guessing. A fee or rule from one Walk community never applies to another, even though the names are similar.

The decision table

Sources, Verona Walk column: VeronaWalk HOA portal; Declaration; Resale Capital Contribution notice; CDD FY2026/27 budget; CDD creation ordinance; Pickleball Club; builder feature list, 2012; 2024 restaurant RFP; FEMA NFHL; Collier County Public Schools address lookup and 2025-26 grades; Collier County ParcelJoin roll layer, 2026 preliminary. Island Walk column: the association’s home page, facilities page, governing documents and 2026 budget and sales and leasing page; Collier County’s PUD Master List; FEMA NFHL (panels 12021C0213H, 0214H and 0402H, effective May 16, 2012); Collier County parcels layer, 2026 preliminary. Village Walk of Naples column: the association’s Welcome Packet, revised August 5, 2026, Amended and Restated Declaration, About Us page and Sports and Wellness page; FEMA NFHL. The Island Walk assessment is derived: the association’s 2026 budget divided by 1,856 homes, because its Declaration levies assessments equally on all units and the association does not print a per-home figure.

Twelve-month sales, the same search for each community. Each community was searched by its own MLS development name, City: Naples, for sales closed September 24, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026 from the Southwest Florida MLS.

In this table homes are split by the listing’s own building label in all three communities, so Verona Walk’s attached median here ($445,000, the midpoint of $440,000 and $450,000) differs from the footprint-based $440,000 in the Market Snapshot. Village Walk’s figures exclude Village Walk of Bonita Springs, a different community with its own MLS name, and Island Walk’s exclude one listing filed with a Venice address. Medians from an even count are the midpoint of the two middle sales.

Where Verona Walk comes out ahead

Size and choice of home. Verona Walk’s 1,920 homes make it the largest of the three, and its product range is the widest: roughly 944 attached homes (paired villas and two-story townhomes) and 976 detached homes, from townhome lots of about 0.07 acre to estate homesites on Karina Court.

Courts. Verona Walk has six pickleball courts, the original four and two lighted courts near the playground, per the resident Pickleball Club’s court page. Island Walk lists four and Village Walk of Naples three on their own sites. On tennis, the builder’s 2012 feature list counted eight lighted tennis courts at Verona Walk; the association has not published a current count. Island Walk lists seven and Village Walk six.

Services inside the gates. Verona Walk’s Town Center holds a restaurant and bar (Verona Grill), an ice cream shop, a salon, a travel agency and a contract post office, and the association’s 2024 amenity description lists a gas station inside the community, per its restaurant request for proposals. Island Walk also has a post office and gas station; Village Walk of Naples names neither on the pages we read.

Location for the south side of town. Verona Walk is about 18 minutes from the Marco Island bridge and sits beside preserve land that includes the Picayune Strand State Forest, and a hospital with a 24-hour emergency room is about 5 minutes away. For buyers who want East Naples, Marco Island and the Everglades side of the county, it is the only one of the three on that side of town.

Where Island Walk comes out ahead

No district assessment. Island Walk has no community development district, so its owners’ tax bills carry no CDD line. Verona Walk homes pay the Verona Walk Community Development District $744.85 to $992.85 a year, depending on home type (46 prepaid homes pay $233.85), and the district’s refunding bonds run to May 1, 2035 and May 1, 2037, according to its FY2025 audited financial report.

A published budget and bundled connectivity. Island Walk’s association posts its 2026 budget, from which a per-home figure of about $1,641 a quarter can be derived, and its 2026 packet shows a bulk cable and internet contract. Verona Walk’s assessment is not published. Island Walk also publishes a fixed $1,500 capital contribution, where Verona Walk’s is one quarter of an unpublished annual assessment.

Schools. Island Walk addresses are zoned for Vineyards Elementary, Oakridge Middle and Barron Collier High, all graded A for 2025-26 in Collier County Public Schools’ grade report. Verona Walk’s zoned schools are Lely Elementary (A), Manatee Middle (A) and Lely High (B for 2025-26, after an A the year before).

North Naples convenience. Island Walk is in ZIP 34119, off Vanderbilt Beach Road, closer to Mercato, Waterside Shops, the North Naples beaches and the I-75 corridor to the airport. From Verona Walk, Vanderbilt Beach is about 33 minutes and the airport about 51 without traffic.

Where Village Walk of Naples comes out ahead

The flood map. Village Walk of Naples sits entirely outside FEMA’s Special Flood Hazard Area on the current map: all 21 address points we sampled there fell in Zone X on the National Flood Hazard Layer. Most Verona Walk lots, by contrast, are mapped Zone AH or AE, subject to FEMA’s many amendments. For a buyer who does not want to read an elevation certificate, Village Walk is the simpler answer.

Published fees. Village Walk of Naples publishes its quarterly assessment by floor plan, $1,722.58 to $1,833.61 a quarter from July 1, 2026, in its Welcome Packet, and it has no community development district.

Scale and pools. With 850 homes, Village Walk is less than half Verona Walk’s size, and it has three pools, one more than either of the other two, per its About Us page. It also has two bocce courts and six tennis courts on its Sports and Wellness page.

The trade-off. Village Walk’s recorded Amended and Restated Declaration limits leasing to three leases a year with a four-month minimum, a tighter rule than Verona Walk’s recorded four-month minimum with no annual cap we found. Its homes are also the oldest of the three, delivered from 1995 to 1999.

Who should choose which

Choose Verona Walk if you want the largest Walk community, the most courts, a restaurant, post office and gas station inside the gates, and prices that start with attached villas and townhomes, and you are comfortable with a CDD line on your tax bill until 2037 and flood insurance decided home by home. Choose Island Walk if you want no CDD, cable and internet in the dues and A-rated zoned schools in North Naples. Choose Village Walk of Naples if staying outside FEMA’s high-risk flood zone matters most and a smaller, older community suits you.

How Does Verona Walk Compare With Winding Cypress and Naples Reserve?

Winding Cypress and Naples Reserve are Verona Walk’s nearest newer neighbors. Winding Cypress was built by DiVosta next door under the same planned development, with its own association and district; Naples Reserve, about a mile south-east, was built by several builders around 22 lakes. Both are newer than Verona Walk, and both have their own community development district.

Data updated: September 2026 (Collier County PUD and CDD layers; each association’s own amenity page; dated builder and news records, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

Winding Cypress, next door

The Winding Cypress community is Verona Walk’s southern neighbor and its closest relative. Both were developed by DiVosta under the same Winding Cypress Planned Unit Development and Development of Regional Impact, which Collier County approved in December 1999, per the county’s PUD layer. Verona Walk was the first community built on that approval; the Winding Cypress community followed more than a decade later, and DiVosta began pre-selling it out of the VeronaWalk sales center in December 2014, according to a Naples Daily News report at the time.

At that launch the builder described Winding Cypress as 774 planned homesites on “over 1,100 acres,” with about 800 acres of preserves and about 80 acres of lakes. Those are 2014 plan figures, not a count of homes built. The Winding Cypress community has its own homeowners association and its own community development district, the Winding Cypress Community Development District, which Collier County’s CDD layer maps at about 389 acres. On its amenities page, the association lists four pickleball courts, five tennis courts, a resort-style pool with a spa and the Shady Palm Cafe by the pool.

Naples Reserve, a mile south-east

Naples Reserve is a different kind of neighbor. It was built under its own planned development, the Naples Reserve Golf Club PUD, about 0.9 mile south-east of Verona Walk’s edge, and Collier County’s PUD Master List of June 11, 2026 lists it at 688 acres with 1,075 homes built. Where Verona Walk had a single builder, recorded deeds in the Collier County Clerk’s official records show eight builders at Naples Reserve, with D.R. Horton the largest.

Its water is its signature. The Naples Reserve Community Development District’s field-audited records count 22 district-owned lakes covering 214.76 acres, per the district’s document library. The district’s FY2025 annual financial report records Series 2025 refunding bonds of $5,685,000 alongside its Series 2018 bonds. On FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer, about 98.6 percent of Naples Reserve is mapped in the Special Flood Hazard Area, and FEMA’s 2024 revalidation letter for Collier County carried forward earlier fill-based map amendments there, much as it did for Verona Walk. The association’s amenities overview lists four pickleball courts, five tennis courts, a lagoon-style zero-entry pool and The Reserve Club restaurant.

The side-by-side table

Sources: Verona Walk from the CDD engineer’s report, CDD creation ordinance, Pickleball Club, builder feature list, 2012 and FEMA NFHL; Winding Cypress from the Naples Daily News, December 14, 2014, the association’s home page and amenities page and the county CDD layer; Naples Reserve from the county PUD Master List, the Naples Reserve CDD, the association’s amenities overview and FEMA NFHL.

Twelve-month sales, the same search for each community. Southwest Florida MLS, each community by its own MLS development name, City: Naples, sales closed September 24, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026.

Winding Cypress’s median is the midpoint of $800,000 and $815,000 (48 sales, an even count), and Naples Reserve’s single-family median the midpoint of $1,370,000 and $1,375,000. Both neighbors are newer and more heavily single-family than Verona Walk, which is why their community medians run $313,500 and $463,500 higher; on attached homes, Naples Reserve’s median of $460,000 sits close to Verona Walk’s.

Who should choose which

Choose Verona Walk for a finished community with the most courts and a full Town Center, including attached villas and townhomes. Choose Winding Cypress for newer DiVosta construction next door with large preserve views. Choose Naples Reserve for newer homes from several builders around a larger lake system, knowing its district issued Series 2025 bonds.

All three are gated, carry a community development district and share one stretch of Collier Boulevard; what separates them is age, so roof age weighs more in Verona Walk, as the insurance section explains.

How Does Verona Walk Compare With Other Naples Communities Nearby?

On first-party amenity counts, Verona Walk has the most pickleball courts of the five Naples lakes communities we compared, leads on tennis by the builder’s 2012 count, and is one of only two with a gas station and a post office inside the gates. Golf buyers usually compare it with Treviso Bay, Fiddler’s Creek and Lely Resort, which have courses.

Data updated: September 2026 (each community’s own first-party amenity page; Collier County roll, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

The benchmark sets Verona Walk beside its two Walk siblings and two nearest newer neighbors. It measures only what each community publishes about itself, so it is a yardstick of amenities, not of quality or value.

The benchmark: five communities on one yardstick

Yardstick: each community’s own published amenity page or governing document, retrieved September 23 to 24, 2026; “not published” means no first-party source states it.

Sources: Verona Walk from the Pickleball Club, the builder’s 2012 feature list, the association’s 2024 restaurant RFP and Collier County’s ParcelJoin roll layer; Island Walk from its facilities page; Village Walk of Naples from its Sports and Wellness page and About Us page; Winding Cypress from its amenities page; Naples Reserve from its amenities overview.

What the benchmark shows, measured rather than judged:

• Most pickleball courts. Verona Walk’s six pickleball courts are the most of the five; the other four list three or four.
• Tennis, with a date attached. Verona Walk’s eight tennis courts lead the table, but that count is from the builder’s 2012 feature list; the association has not published a current count. Island Walk’s seven is the highest current first-party count.
• Services only two communities have. Verona Walk and Island Walk are the only two of the five that name both a gas station and a post office inside the gates.
• Every one has a restaurant. All five communities publish an on-site restaurant or cafe.
• Nobody publishes gym size. None of the five states the size of its fitness center, so the table cannot rank them on it.

Golf communities within three miles

Buyers who want golf inside the gates usually compare Verona Walk with Treviso Bay, about three miles away, which has its own golf course inside the community. Across Collier Boulevard, Lely Resort is a built-out golf resort community of about 2,900 acres on the county’s PUD layer. A little farther south, Fiddler’s Creek, whose Fiddler’s Creek Community Development District #2 lies about 2 miles from Verona Walk on the county’s CDD layer, is another golf community in the same corridor.

The trade-off is structural. At Verona Walk, the pools, courts and Town Center are common property of the homeowners association, so there is no club to join and no initiation fee. A golf community adds a course, and with it a club, and the club’s membership terms become part of the purchase decision.

The market comparison

The fair way to compare these communities on price is the same 12-month MLS query for each, pulled the same day, with the number of sales behind every median.

Twelve-month sales across the five non-golf communities in this guide. Southwest Florida MLS, each community by its own MLS development name, City: Naples, sales closed September 24, 2025 to September 24, 2026, pulled September 24, 2026.

Verona Walk has the lowest median sale price of the five and trades at about the same price per square foot as the two other Walk communities. The golf communities, Treviso Bay, Fiddler’s Creek and Lely Resort, carry club memberships and are compared in their own guides linked above.

The county roll gives a second, separate reading for the two Walk communities it covers. On Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll, the median just value of Verona Walk’s 1,920 homes is $439,340, against $478,094 at Island Walk, per the county’s ParcelJoin layer and parcels layer. Those are county estimates, not sales, and should never be compared directly with MLS figures.

What Are the Honest Pros and Cons of Buying in Verona Walk?

Verona Walk’s strengths are on the record: an all-ages community with no club to join, the most courts among its peers, a restaurant, post office and pools inside the gates, and A-rated elementary and middle schools. Its trade-offs are just as documented: a CDD levy until 2037, an unpublished association fee, and a flood map that needs a home-by-home check.

Data updated: September 2026

The pros, with the record behind each

• Open to all ages, by covenant. Verona Walk is not a 55-plus community. Its recorded Declaration of Covenants contains no age restriction, and the association describes the community as open to all ages. See the section on living in Verona Walk.
• Amenities come with the deed. The Town Center sits on an 8.9-acre parcel owned by the homeowners association; it is not a separately owned club. Membership in the association is automatic with the deed under Section 3.2 of the Declaration, so there is no initiation fee and no equity membership.
• The most courts among its peers. Six pickleball courts, per the Pickleball Club, and eight lighted tennis courts on the builder’s 2012 feature list, the highest counts among the five lakes communities benchmarked above.
• Services inside the gates. A restaurant and bar, an ice cream shop, a salon, a travel agency, a contract post office and two pools in the Town Center, per the association’s Town Center Shops page and 2024 request for proposals.
• A-rated elementary and middle schools. Every Verona Walk address we checked is zoned for Lely Elementary and Manatee Middle, both graded A for 2025-26 in the district’s grade report.
• A hospital about 2 miles away. Physicians Regional Medical Center, Collier Boulevard, with a 24-hour emergency room, is about 5 minutes from the Town Center without traffic.
• Inland, in Evacuation Zone D. Every Verona Walk parcel is in Collier County Evacuation Zone D, and the National Hurricane Center’s storm surge risk maps show no mapped surge in a Category 1 storm.
• Many homes amended out of the high-risk flood zone. FEMA issued 121 structure-specific amendments for Verona Walk homes in 2024, 120 of them placing the house in Zone X, and revalidated the builder-era phase-wide amendments in its 2024 revalidation letter.
• A recognized association. In 2014 the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association was named HOA Community of the Year in the Florida Communities of Excellence Awards, presented by the Florida Community Association Journal.
• Two price tiers in one community. Attached villas and townhomes carry a median 2026 preliminary just value of $387,616 and detached homes $560,912.50 on Collier County’s roll layer (county estimates, not sale prices).
• A flood insurance discount. Unincorporated Collier County holds Class 5 in FEMA’s Community Rating System, which gives eligible flood insurance policies in the Special Flood Hazard Area a 25 percent discount, per FEMA’s list effective April 1, 2026.
• Conserved land to the east. The land touching the community’s east edge is a conservation easement, state forest or Rural Fringe “Sending” land, so the new construction nearby is to the north, west and south.

The cons, with the record behind each

• A CDD assessment until 2035 and 2037. Homes pay the Verona Walk Community Development District $744.85 to $992.85 a year ($233.85 once prepaid), per its FY2026/27 budget, and the district’s refunding bonds mature May 1, 2035 and May 1, 2037, per its FY2025 audited report.
• The association fee is not published. The association does not publish its assessment. The amount for a specific home appears in the association’s annual budget and on the estoppel certificate issued for every resale.
• Most lots are mapped in a high-risk flood zone. On FEMA’s map effective February 8, 2024, about 70 percent of homes are in Zone AH and about 30 percent in Zone AE, per the National Flood Hazard Layer. Flood insurance cost depends on each home’s elevation certificate and whether FEMA has issued a Letter of Map Amendment for it; both are specific to the address.
• Stronger storms reach the southern plats. In the National Hurricane Center’s near-worst-case model, a Category 2 storm floods the southern Phase 4 plats by more than 3 feet above ground, and a Category 3 or stronger storm floods the whole community. These are planning scenarios, not a forecast or a history.
• No golf course, no beach, no marina. Collier County’s roll shows no golf-course parcel in any Verona Walk plat, and the lakes are “primarily aesthetic amenities” under the Declaration.
• Roof age matters now. A Verona Walk home completed in 2005 turned 20 in 2025, the age at which Citizens requires a four-point inspection; a roof original to a home built before about 2011 is now past 15 years, the line at which Florida law lets an insurer require an inspection.
• Owners of attached homes paint and clean their own exteriors. The 2015 recorded amendment moved exterior painting and roof cleaning of zero-lot-line, attached and townhouse homes to the owners.
• Growth to the north adds traffic. The Costco under construction at Collier Boulevard and Rattlesnake Hammock Road and the build-out of Hacienda Lakes sit on a corridor FDOT already counts at 45,500 to 47,500 vehicles a day around that intersection.
• The rules are not public. The association’s Rules and Regulations and architectural guidelines are not public; they are provided to buyers during the resale approval.

What sellers should take from this list

A Verona Walk seller can turn most of the cons into answered questions before a buyer asks them. Buyer searches for Verona Walk keep returning to the same three questions: is Verona Walk 55-plus, what is the CDD, and what is the flood zone. Each has a document answer. The age question is answered by the recorded Declaration. The CDD question is answered by the district’s budget table for the home’s phase and lot class, and by the bond balance table, which states that the “Bond balance does not have to be paid off at closing.” The flood question is answered by the home’s elevation certificate and, where one exists, its FEMA Letter of Map Amendment, found by address on the FEMA Map Service Center. A listing that carries all three documents from the first day removes the three most common reasons a Verona Walk buyer hesitates.

If you’re searching for the best Verona Walk listing agent, or thinking, ‘I need to sell my house in Verona Walk…’, McGreevy and Comisar sell Verona Walk homes on the record. Buyers ask three things first: is it 55-plus, what is the CDD, and what is the flood zone? We answer each from the Declaration, the district budget and FEMA.

Data updated: September 2026 (Verona Walk CDD budget FY2026/27 and bond table good through October 31, 2026; association forms; Collier County 2026 preliminary roll, retrieved 24 Sep 2026)

Selling in Verona Walk means selling one of 1,920 fee-simple homes in a gated community with two distinct markets inside it: attached villas and townhomes, with a median 2026 preliminary just value of $387,616, and detached homes at $560,912.50, on Collier County’s roll layer (county estimates as of January 1, 2026, not sale prices). A Verona Walk listing competes with the homes of its own type first, with Island Walk and the newer construction at Winding Cypress and Naples Reserve second, and it sells best when the paperwork a buyer’s lender, insurer and attorney will ask for is ready before the first showing. Our Verona Walk seller guide sets out pricing by home type and the full resale file, step by step. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and that is the discipline a Verona Walk listing needs: a price built from homes of the same type and lot class, a resale file that clears the association’s approval without a delay, and a flood and insurance packet that answers the underwriter before the underwriter asks.

What Verona Walk Homes Sold For in the Last 12 Months

In the 12 months to September 24, 2026, 97 Verona Walk homes sold for a combined $54.3 million, per the Southwest Florida MLS (Development: Verona Walk, pulled September 24, 2026):

• Attached villas and townhomes: 57 sales, median $440,000, $279.92 per square foot of living area, a median of 57 days on market.
• Detached homes: 40 sales, median $705,000 (the midpoint of the two middle sales, $700,000 and $710,000), $334.26 per square foot of living area, a median of 42.5 days on market.
• Whole community: median sale-to-list ratio 96.3%; 12 of the 97 homes sold at or above their list price.
• Inventory on September 24, 2026: 21 active and 9 pending, about 1.5 months of supply for attached homes and 4.2 months for detached homes.

Underneath those sales, the county roll shows how the community is layered. The median 2026 preliminary just value of all 1,920 Verona Walk homes is $439,340; the two townhome plats have a median of $369,195 (176 homes), and the 32 estate homesites on the Karina Court 2nd Replat a median of $738,143, per the county’s roll layer. County roll figures and MLS figures measure different things: the county values every home as of January 1, while the MLS records only the homes that sold, at their contract price, and measures living area rather than the county’s total area under roof. The two sets of numbers should never be compared directly.

The Verona Walk Seller Playbook: Price by Home Type and Lot Class

Verona Walk does not trade as one market, and a single community median tells a seller very little. The Verona Walk Community Development District’s own FY2026/27 budget sorts every home into a phase and a lot class, from 26-foot townhome lots to 65-foot estate lots, and those classes line up with the county’s value tiers. We price a Verona Walk home first against sales of the same product (a paired villa against paired villas, a two-story townhome against townhomes, a 50-foot Oakmont-class home against its own class), then adjust for water view, condition, roof age and the home’s flood record.

Two details that are specific to Verona Walk move the number. The first is the CDD line: a home whose district debt has been prepaid carries only the $233.85 operations and maintenance assessment, while an otherwise identical home still carrying debt pays $744.85 to $992.85 a year, and buyers notice. The second is the flood record: a home with a 2024 FEMA amendment to Zone X and a current elevation certificate presents very differently to an insurer than one without, even on the same street.

What Verona Walk Buyers Ask First, and the Record That Answers Each

The Documents File We Build for Every Verona Walk Listing

A Verona Walk sale runs on paperwork, and some of it is published nowhere. The file we assemble before a Verona Walk home goes on the market:

• The association estoppel certificate. It is the only document that states the current assessment for the home, because the association does not publish it, and it lists every assessment that applies. Florida law caps what an association may charge for it under section 720.30851.
• The homeowners’ association disclosure. For a home in a homeowners’ association, the statutory disclosure summary under section 720.401.
• The CDD disclosure and payoff figure. Florida’s section 190.048 requires a disclosure to buyers of property in a community development district, and we pull the home’s payoff figure from the district’s bond balance table, which runs from $3,353.69 to $6,252.18 depending on lot type, good through October 31, 2026.
• The flood disclosure, elevation certificate and any FEMA letter. Florida’s residential flood disclosure under section 689.302 applies to the sale, and because most Verona Walk lots are mapped Zone AH or AE, a current elevation certificate and any Letter of Map Amendment belong in the file on day one.
• Roof, wind-mitigation and four-point reports. The roof permit date, a current wind-mitigation report and, for homes over 20 years old, a four-point inspection, because those are the first things an insurer asks for.
• The association’s approval steps. The purchase application, its $100 fee and its 30-day lead time, and a clean exterior, because the association inspects the home’s exterior before approving the buyer and open compliance items must be corrected first.

What is my Verona Walk home worth?

A Verona Walk home’s value depends first on its type: on Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll, attached villas and townhomes have a median just value of $387,616 and detached homes $560,912.50, but just values are not sale prices, per the county’s roll layer. For a price based on recent Verona Walk sales of your home type, get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Does my buyer take over the CDD bond balance?

Usually, yes. The Verona Walk CDD’s bond balance table says the “Bond balance does not have to be paid off at closing,” so the debt line stays with the home unless a seller or buyer chooses to prepay. Payoff amounts run from $3,353.69 to $6,252.18 per home depending on lot type, good through October 31, 2026. Whether to prepay is a negotiating point, and on some homes it is worth offering.

Who pays the resale capital contribution?

The buyer pays Verona Walk’s resale capital contribution at closing: one quarter of the annual assessment for the home type purchased, deposited to the association’s reserves, effective June 1, 2024, under the association’s Resale Capital Contribution Fund notice. The dollar amount depends on the home type’s annual assessment, which the association does not publish; it appears on the estoppel certificate.

How do buyers and agents get through the gate for showings?

Showing agents and buyers are registered at Verona Walk’s staffed main gate through the association’s online visitor registration, per the association’s portal. For open houses, which are allowed on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. only, visitors must give the gate the open-house address or they will be denied access, per the association’s open-house notice. We register every showing ahead, so no buyer is turned away at the gate.

How long does association approval take?

Verona Walk’s association asks for the buyer’s $100 application at least 30 days before closing, inspects the home’s exterior, and under Section 19.3 of the Declaration issues its approval certificate within 10 business days; open compliance items must be corrected first, so fix them before listing. The Declaration itself requires at least 20 days’ notice, but the association’s current purchase application asks for 30, so build 30 days into the contract.

How we handle a Verona Walk listing. Before a word of this guide was written, we read the VeronaWalk Declaration and every amendment the association posts, the association’s purchase, lease and open-house forms, the Verona Walk Community Development District’s budgets, audit and bond table, FEMA’s flood map and its amendment records for the community, Collier County’s roll, zoning and development-review layers, and the school district’s own address lookup. When we list a Verona Walk home we put that work to use. We register every showing through the association’s visitor system, so no buyer is stopped at the gate, and we hold open houses only in the association’s Saturday and Sunday 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. window. We pull the home’s CDD payoff figure from the district’s bond table and its FEMA record by address before the listing goes live, so the buyer sees both on day one. And we explain the association’s unit-type assessment when the estoppel certificate arrives, because a townhome, a villa and a detached home pay different amounts and buyers deserve to see why. As the leaders of Domain Realty Group our team has closed over $2.5 billion in real estate, and on a Verona Walk listing the record comes first.

Is VeronaWalk a gated community, and is the gate staffed?

Yes. Verona Walk’s main entrance on VeronaWalk Boulevard is a gated entry that the VeronaWalk Homeowners Association says is staffed 24 hours a day, and residents register visitors online through the association’s portal. Collier County’s site address points layer also shows a second gate at the south end of the community; how that gate operates is not published.

Where is Verona Walk in Naples, Florida?

How big is VeronaWalk?

Verona Walk covers about 760 acres, or about 1.2 square miles, per the district’s 2004 charter, Collier County Ordinance 04-27; the 2006 engineer’s report put about 177.5 of those acres in lakes. The Census area measures about 806 acres on a wider boundary. Verona Walk sits inside the larger Winding Cypress planned unit development of about 1,960 acres.

How many homes are in Verona Walk?

Verona Walk has 1,920 homes. The association, the CDD’s FY2025/26 budget, Collier County’s 2026 tax roll and the 2020 Census all count 1,920. The district’s original plan called for 1,954; a 2013 replat turned 68 townhome lots into 34 single-family lots, which accounts for the difference exactly.

What ZIP code is Verona Walk in?

Verona Walk is in ZIP code 34114, in unincorporated Collier County with a Naples mailing address, per the county’s 2026 parcel roll. It is not inside the City of Naples, whose limits are about 6 miles away. Fire rescue comes from the Greater Naples Fire Rescue District, per the county’s fire district layer.

Is there a map of Verona Walk’s streets and phases?

Yes. Verona Walk’s 19 recorded plats, filed from 2004 to 2013 in Plat Books 41 to 53, are the official maps of its streets and lots, searchable by the name “VERONAWALK” on the Collier County Clerk’s official records map search. Start with VeronaWalk Phase 1A at Plat Book 41, Page 1. Streets carry Italian names, with VeronaWalk Boulevard and VeronaWalk Circle as the spines.

Is Verona Walk its own town, and what is a census-designated place?

Verona Walk is not a town; it is an unincorporated community governed by its homeowners association and community development district under Collier County. The Census Bureau treats it as a census-designated place, a statistical area around a named community, and the 2020 Census counted 2,713 residents, up from 1,782 in 2010. Seasonal owners are not counted.

How far is VeronaWalk from the beach?

From Verona Walk’s Town Center, the Naples Pier is about 11.1 miles (roughly 23 minutes) and Marco Island’s Jolley Bridge about 10.1 miles (18 minutes); Vanderbilt Beach and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park are each about 33 minutes. These are free-flow OpenStreetMap estimates measured September 23, 2026; in-season traffic is longer. Verona Walk itself has no beach access or marina.

How far is Verona Walk from downtown Naples and Marco Island?

Fifth Avenue South is about 9.9 miles, roughly 20 minutes, from Verona Walk’s Town Center; Third Street South about 22 minutes; the Marco Island bridge about 18 minutes; Naples Airport about 20 minutes; and Southwest Florida International Airport about 38.6 miles, roughly 51 minutes.

The US 41 corridor holds chain restaurants. Costco is building a store with fuel about 1.9 road miles north; no opening date has been announced in a county record.

Is Verona Walk a 55+ or age-restricted community?

Verona Walk is not a 55-plus community. Its recorded Declaration of Covenants (Official Records Book 3506, Page 903, February 23, 2004) contains no age restriction, no recorded amendment adds one, and the association describes the community as open to all ages. Senior-living directory listings are not based on the governing documents.

Does the Verona Walk HOA offer fees or rules for seniors?

No. Verona Walk’s governing documents set no separate fees or rules for seniors, because the recorded Declaration has no age restriction. Under the First Amendment of 2004, each home’s association assessment is a base amount plus a component set by home type, not by the owner’s age, and the Verona Walk CDD assessment is set by phase and lot type in the district’s adopted budget.

What are good 55 and over communities in Naples, and is Verona Walk one?

Verona Walk is not a 55-and-over community: its recorded Declaration contains no housing-for-older-persons provision, and the association says it is open to all ages. Its calendar of clubs, classes and courts appeals to retirees and working households alike. For a wider look at Naples communities and how they differ, start with our Naples community guide.

How much are HOA fees in Verona Walk?

The VeronaWalk Homeowners Association does not publish its assessment. Under the recorded Declaration as amended in 2004, each home pays a base component plus a home-type component, billed quarterly in advance, so townhomes, villas and detached homes pay different amounts; a specific home’s figure appears on its resale estoppel certificate. Separately, the CDD adds $744.85 to $992.85 a year on the tax bill ($233.85 if the home’s debt is prepaid; FY2026/27 budget).

What does the Verona Walk HOA fee include?

Under Verona Walk’s recorded Declaration, the association assessment funds the common areas, the Town Center and its amenities, common-area landscaping and irrigation, the surface water system on common land, management and reserves. The Declaration allows a bulk cable or security-monitoring contract to be billed through the assessment; whether one is in the current budget is not published. The per-home amount appears on the estoppel certificate.

Are Verona Walk HOA dues billed monthly or quarterly?

Quarterly. Verona Walk’s recorded Declaration requires assessments “not less frequently than quarter-annually in advance”, billed on the 15th of December, March, June and September, with a late charge of up to $30 after 30 days. The Verona Walk CDD assessment is billed once a year instead, as a line on the November property tax bill, per the district’s FAQs.

Florida buyers in 2026 weigh insurance, flood status and association costs more heavily, so Verona Walk listings do best when the seller documents all three up front: roof age and a wind-mitigation report, which Florida’s roof statute and Citizens tie to insurability; FEMA’s record for the address; and the CDD’s $744.85 to $992.85 plus association figures on the estoppel. Verona Walk’s days-to-contract trend is in the Market Snapshot.

What is the list-to-sale price ratio in Verona Walk?

Verona Walk homes sold at a median of 96.3% of their list price in the 12 months to September 24, 2026, and 12 of the 97 sold at or above list, per the Southwest Florida MLS.

How much more do lakefront homes sell for in Verona Walk?

Because the association says about 90 percent of Verona Walk homes sit on its inland waterways (association home page), a lakefront premium here is measured between kinds of lake view, not water versus no water. That needs matched Southwest Florida MLS sales compared lot by lot, because the community-wide median does not separate kinds of lake view. For your own lot, get a free Verona Walk home valuation.

Do pool homes sell for more in Verona Walk?

Whether a private pool adds value in Verona Walk is a matched-sales question answered from the Southwest Florida MLS; where recent pool sales are thin, we list the sales rather than print a median. Every Verona Walk owner already has the Town Center’s resort pool and lap pool through the association. For your home, get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Which Verona Walk home types sell fastest?

In the 12 months to September 24, 2026, attached Verona Walk homes spent a median of 57 days on market and detached homes 42.5 days, per the Southwest Florida MLS.

Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How many Verona Walk homes sold last year?

97 Verona Walk homes closed in the 12 months to September 24, 2026, against 89 in the prior 12 months, per the Southwest Florida MLS.

For the sales that bear on your home, get a free Verona Walk home valuation.

How does Verona Walk resale value compare with Island Walk and Village Walk?

On Collier County’s 2026 preliminary roll, the median just value is $439,340 in Verona Walk and $478,094 in Island Walk (Collier parcels layer); just values are not sale prices. On the Southwest Florida MLS, Verona Walk’s median sale price for the 12 months to September 24, 2026 was $494,000 on 97 sales, and Island Walk’s $530,000 on 121 sales.

Does new construction next door compete with my Verona Walk resale?

New homes in Winding Cypress, Tamarindo and Naples Reserve compete for some buyers. A Verona Walk resale answers with a finished community: a full Town Center, six pickleball courts, a restaurant and post office inside the gates, and CDD bonds scheduled to retire in 2035 and 2037 (FY2025 audit). Get a free Verona Walk home valuation to see where your home sits against new-construction prices.

What is the best time of year to sell in Verona Walk?

Fall listing suits Verona Walk, because demand is seasonal. On Census Day 2020, 429 of the community’s 1,920 housing units, about 22 percent, were held for seasonal use (2020 Census table H5), and the association’s 2024 restaurant RFP defines the season as December 1 to April 30. Across 47 months of Southwest Florida MLS closings, October 2022 to August 2026, March and April were Verona Walk’s busiest closing months, with 42 and 43 sales. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What is the hardest month to sell a house?

The answer differs by market, so we use Verona Walk’s own data: across 47 months of Southwest Florida MLS closings, October 2022 to August 2026, March and April were the busiest closing months (42 and 43 sales) and July and September the slowest, at about five closings a year each. One local wrinkle: the association’s 2026 hurricane-season letter says staff shut down gate equipment and fountain pumps at a Hurricane Watch, so storm weeks interrupt showings. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Should I list before or after hurricane season?

Listing in the fall readies a Verona Walk home for the December to April season the association itself defines. If you list during hurricane season, plan for the association’s storm protocol: at a Hurricane Watch, staff secure the common areas and shut down gate equipment, and departing residents sign the security log, per its 2026 hurricane-season letter. MLS timing data is in the Market Snapshot. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How do I market a Verona Walk home to seasonal and second-home buyers?

Lead with what second-home buyers ask first, from the record: Verona Walk’s amenities come with the deed and there is no club to join (Declaration Section 3.2), leases of four months or longer are allowed (Section 19.2), the gate registers visitors online, and the CDD and association costs are documented. We add cinematic video, drone and professional photography and our qualified-buyer database. Get a free Verona Walk home valuation.

What not to do before selling a house in Verona Walk?

Before listing a Verona Walk home, do not start exterior changes without Architectural Control Committee approval, do not leave compliance items open, because the association inspects the exterior and requires them fixed before it approves a buyer, and do not guess the fees. Order the estoppel early and pull your CDD payoff figure from the district’s bond balance table. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a pre-listing walk-through.

Which upgrades return the most in Verona Walk?

The return on a Verona Walk upgrade comes from comparing updated and original-condition sales of the same home type in the Southwest Florida MLS, which we compare sale by sale for your home type in a valuation. From the record, a newer roof and a current wind-mitigation report help any buyer insure the home, because Florida’s section 627.7011 and Citizens’ rules tie insurability to roof age. For your home, get a free Verona Walk home valuation.

Do I need HOA approval for pre-sale repairs or repainting in Verona Walk?

Yes for exterior changes: Verona Walk’s Declaration requires Architectural Control Committee approval for exterior alterations. Since the 2015 amendment, owners of zero-lot-line, attached and townhouse homes handle their own wall painting and roof cleaning, so a pre-listing repaint is the seller’s cost and should follow the approved colors in the architectural guidelines, which the association provides rather than posts.

How does roof age affect insurability and my Verona Walk sale?

Roof age directly shapes a Verona Walk buyer’s insurance. Florida’s section 627.7011 bars refusing a policy solely because a roof is under 15 years old and, for older roofs, allows requiring an inspection showing five years of remaining life; Citizens requires a four-point inspection on homes over 20. A 2005 home turned 20 in 2025, so check your permit year before listing. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Will a four-point or wind-mitigation report help me sell?

Yes. A current four-point and wind-mitigation inspection lets a Verona Walk buyer’s insurer quote quickly, and the wind-mitigation report documents features that may qualify for premium discounts, per Citizens’ inspection requirements. Both in the listing file remove one of the first questions Florida buyers now ask. Get a free Verona Walk home valuation and we will tell you which reports to order.

Does my flood zone affect buyers, and what do I disclose?

Yes. Most Verona Walk lots are mapped Zone AH or AE on FEMA’s February 8, 2024 map, so buyers and lenders will ask. If FEMA has issued a Letter of Map Amendment for your home, hand over the letter and your elevation certificate; FEMA issued 121 home-level amendments here in 2024, 120 to Zone X, and revalidated the builder-era ones. Disclose known material facts, and ask your attorney which form applies.

Do I need to disclose past storm damage or repairs?

Yes: disclose known storm damage and repair history that materially affects your Verona Walk home’s value, and keep the county permit for each repair as proof it was done properly. The public storm record covers district systems, not homes: after Hurricane Ian the CDD’s inspector reported the stormwater system “worked as designed” (December 2022 meeting book). Ask your attorney for the form. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Should I sell my Verona Walk home furnished?

It depends on your buyer. Seasonal buyers often value a turnkey home, and about 22 percent of Verona Walk’s housing units were held for seasonal use on Census Day 2020 (2020 Census table H5). How many recent Verona Walk sales included furnishings comes from the Southwest Florida MLS. Decide before you price: get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How do I order a Verona Walk HOA estoppel certificate?

Verona Walk’s association processes estoppel certificates and resale questionnaires through HomeWiseDocs, as its website notes. Florida Statutes section 720.30851 sets what an HOA estoppel must state, including the assessments owed. Order it as soon as you are under contract; the Verona Walk CDD assessment is a separate tax-bill item and does not appear as an association charge.

Who pays the resale capital contribution in Verona Walk, and how much is it?

The buyer pays Verona Walk’s resale capital contribution at closing: one quarter of the annual assessment for the home type, deposited to reserves, under the Resale Capital Contribution Fund notice effective June 1, 2024. The dollar amount depends on the unpublished assessment and appears on the estoppel certificate. Transfers by death, divorce, to a trust, business or co-owner, and foreclosures are exempt.

How long does HOA buyer approval take in Verona Walk?

Verona Walk’s association asks for the buyer’s $100 purchase application at least 30 days before closing, inspects the home’s exterior, and under Declaration Section 19.3 issues its approval certificate within 10 business days; it may disapprove while an owner is delinquent (Section 19.4). Open compliance items must be corrected first, so fix them before you list. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to plan the closing calendar.

Do I have to disclose the CDD to my Verona Walk buyer?

Yes. Florida Statutes section 190.048 requires a disclosure to buyers of property in a community development district, and every Verona Walk home is in the Verona Walk CDD, assessed $744.85 to $992.85 a year under the FY2026/27 budget, or $233.85 if its debt is prepaid. Give your buyer the figure for your lot type and the payoff amount from the district’s bond balance table up front.

Will my buyer take over the remaining CDD bond balance?

Usually, yes. The Verona Walk CDD’s bond balance table states: “Bond balance does not have to be paid off at closing.” The debt line stays with the home unless someone prepays. Payoffs, good through October 31, 2026, run from $3,353.69 on the $540 debt class (509 homes) to $6,252.18 on the $759 Estate class (32 homes); 46 homes have prepaid. The bonds mature through 2035 and 2037.

What documents must I give a Verona Walk buyer?

A Verona Walk buyer should receive the Declaration and its recorded amendments, the Rules and Regulations and architectural guidelines, the estoppel certificate, the CDD disclosure required by section 190.048, and any FEMA letter and elevation certificate for the home. The public governing documents are on the association’s public documents page and in the Downloadable Documents section of this guide.

Will my buyer’s property taxes jump after the purchase?

Often, yes. About 57 percent of Verona Walk homes carry a homestead exemption on the 2026 roll, and the Save Our Homes cap resets at sale, as the Department of Revenue’s PT-112 guide explains. A buyer’s bill uses the new assessed value at 10.4020 mills on the 2026 preliminary roll, plus the CDD line of $744.85 to $992.85. Showing buyers that math up front avoids an escrow surprise.

Can I take my Save Our Homes benefit to my next Florida home?

Yes, if you qualify. Florida’s portability rule lets a homestead owner who sells and establishes a new Florida homestead transfer some or all of the accumulated Save Our Homes benefit, within the time limits in the Department of Revenue’s PT-112 portability guide. If your Verona Walk home is homesteaded, file for the new homestead on time. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to plan the sale and purchase together.

Will I owe capital gains tax when I sell my Verona Walk home?

Capital gains tax on a Verona Walk sale depends on your ownership, use and basis, so ask a tax professional; we do not give tax advice. What we can assemble is the record your adviser will want: your purchase closing statement, the permits for improvements you made, and any CDD prepayment shown on the district’s bond balance table, which together document your basis.

What are the typical seller closing costs in Florida?

Florida sellers commonly pay documentary stamp tax on the deed, their share of title and closing charges and prorated taxes, lien payoffs, and brokerage compensation as agreed. In Verona Walk, two feared items are not the seller’s: the resale capital contribution is the buyer’s cost, and the CDD bond balance does not have to be paid off at closing. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a net sheet.

Can I sell my Verona Walk home with a tenant in place?

Yes, subject to the lease. Verona Walk leases must run at least four months under the Declaration and go through the association’s lease application. A buyer takes the home subject to the tenant’s rights, so share the lease and its end date with buyers early and plan showings around the tenant. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to plan both.

Should I sell or rent out my Verona Walk home?

Verona Walk allows leases of four months or longer with no annual cap in the recorded Declaration, so seasonal renting is possible. Weigh it against the costs you keep paying: the association assessment, the CDD’s $744.85 to $992.85 a year, taxes, insurance and the $100 fee on each new lease. For what your home would sell for today, get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How do buyers and agents get through the gate for showings?

Showing agents and buyers are registered in advance at Verona Walk’s staffed main gate on VeronaWalk Boulevard, using the association’s online visitor registration. For open houses, visitors must give the gate the open-house address “or they will be denied access”, per the association’s open house notice. We register every showing ahead so no buyer is turned away at the gate.

Are open houses allowed in Verona Walk?

Yes. Verona Walk allows open houses on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. only, under the association’s open house notice dated October 17, 2025, and gate guests must give the open-house address. Private showings are scheduled through the online gate registration on any day. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to plan both, so weekend traffic and private tours work together.

Are for-sale signs allowed in Verona Walk yards?

Sign rules in Verona Walk are set by the association’s Rules and Regulations and architectural guidelines, which are not public; they are provided to owners and to buyers during the resale approval. The recorded Declaration gives the association architectural control over exterior items. We check the current rule before any sign goes in the yard, and market the home through channels that do not depend on one.

Should I sell my Verona Walk home as for sale by owner?

You can, but a Verona Walk sale runs through association approval, the estoppel certificate, the CDD disclosure required by section 190.048 and the gate’s showing rules, and buyers ask about flood status and the CDD first. An experienced listing team handles those steps and reaches buyers you would not otherwise reach. Get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

How do I choose a listing agent for Verona Walk?

Ask each agent to show you, from the record, what Verona Walk buyers need: the CDD payoff for your lot type, FEMA’s file for your address on the Map Service Center, the association’s approval timeline and recent sales of your home type. For an independent view of Naples agents, see our Naples agent comparison, linked earlier in this guide. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

What does it cost to sell a home in Verona Walk?

Selling costs in Verona Walk include brokerage compensation as agreed, the seller’s title charges and documentary stamp tax, prorated taxes and any pre-listing repairs; since 2015, exterior painting of an attached home is also the owner’s cost. The buyer pays the capital contribution, and the CDD balance need not be paid at closing. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 for a net sheet, or start with a free Verona Walk home valuation.

Where are Verona Walk owners based?

On Collier County’s 2026 roll, about 71 percent of Verona Walk homes have an owner mailing address in Florida (mailing addresses, not residency), and about 57 percent carry a Florida homestead exemption, which an owner can claim only on a permanent residence. For a seller, that means a buyer pool of both year-round and seasonal owners, and marketing that should reach both.

How do I sell my Verona Walk home from out of state?

Verona Walk sales can close remotely through the title company with a mail-away or remote online closing, while your agent handles gate registration for showings, the association’s exterior inspection and the estoppel order. Tax withholding rules for foreign sellers are a question for your closing attorney. Get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072; confidential conversations welcome.

Why are people moving out of Naples, and does it affect Verona Walk?

Verona Walk’s own data answers this better than a headline: in the 12 months to September 24, 2026, closings rose to 97 from 89 the year before and the median time on market fell from 75 to 53 days, while the median attached sale eased to $440,000 from $470,000 and the median detached sale held at $705,000, per the Southwest Florida MLS. The public record shows a stable owner base, with about 57 percent of homes homesteaded on the 2026 roll, and the census area grew from 1,782 residents in 2010 to 2,713 in 2020 (2020 Census). Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Is it better to sell my Verona Walk home now or wait?

Two Southwest Florida MLS facts frame this answer for Verona Walk: on September 24, 2026 detached homes carried about 4.2 months of supply and attached homes 1.5, and the median time on market fell from 75 to 53 days over the last year. From the record, the Costco under construction about 1.9 road miles north and the I-75 Exit 101 rebuild due in late 2026 (FDOT project page) add convenience, while the CDD bonds shorten toward 2035 and 2037. Get a free Verona Walk home valuation.

Can I list my Verona Walk home off-market?

Yes. We can offer a Verona Walk home privately to our qualified-buyer database before, or instead of, a public listing, with confidential showings registered at the gate. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072; confidential conversations welcome. You can also start with a free Verona Walk home valuation to set a private price before any buyer sees the home.

Is there a club membership to transfer when I sell in Verona Walk?

No. Verona Walk has no separate club: the Town Center and amenities are common area owned by the homeowners association under Declaration Sections 3.2 and 4.1, and membership passes automatically to the buyer with the deed. The buyer pays the resale capital contribution at closing; there is no initiation fee, no equity and no club membership to transfer or refund.

How do I market a Verona Walk home to buyers who think it is 55+?

Say it plainly and cite the record: Verona Walk is not a 55-plus community. Its recorded Declaration of Covenants contains no age restriction, and the association describes the community as open to all ages. Stating that in the listing, with the document linked, removes a false filter some buyers apply before they ever look. Call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072 to position your listing.

Does the CDD assessment hurt my Verona Walk home’s value?

Buyers compare total carrying cost, so show them the figure: the Verona Walk CDD adds $744.85 to $992.85 a year depending on the home, its refunding bonds are scheduled to retire in 2035 and 2037, and 46 homes have already prepaid. A prepaid home is a selling point worth stating in the listing. Get a free Verona Walk home valuation or call Jesse direct at (239) 898-6072.

Downloadable Documents

The public records that govern and describe Verona Walk are linked below at the authority that issued or holds each one; we do not re-host any of them. Some government hosts refuse automated requests but open normally in a browser.

A few Verona Walk records are not posted anywhere public, and we say so rather than link a copy: the association’s annual budgets and reserve study, its Rules and Regulations and architectural guidelines (provided to buyers during the resale approval), and individual FEMA letters that print a home’s address, which are looked up by address on FEMA’s Map Service Center.
