Emerald Lakes is a beautifully planned community set around two large spring-fed lakes in North Naples, offering a relaxed yet active lifestyle in a central location. With roughly 145 single-family homes and 380 condominiums, this neighborhood seamlessly blends value, natural beauty, and convenience for residents seeking a welcoming Florida residence.
The community lifestyle at Emerald Lakes is defined by resort-style amenities and abundant outdoor recreation opportunities:
A clubhouse opening onto a lagoon-style pool and deck overlooking the larger lake, with a fishing/kayak dock on the 55-acre water body.
Tennis courts, pickleball courts, bocce and basketball courts, picnic areas and miles of sidewalks around the lakes.
Kayaking, paddle-boarding and canoeing on the lake; pet-friendly walking paths and organized social events throughout the year.
