Esplanade by the Islands is located in South Naples along the US-41 corridor in the 34114 area. The community offers convenient access to Marco Island, downtown Naples, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining and many of the attractions of Southwest Florida.

Yes. Esplanade by the Islands continues to offer new-construction opportunities through Taylor Morrison, although available floor plans, homesites, quick move-in homes, pricing and builder incentives can change. Buyers should compare current new-construction opportunities with available resale homes before making a decision.

Yes. Buyers can have their own Realtor represent them when purchasing new construction. A Realtor can help you evaluate the property, compare builder inventory with resale opportunities, review community and market considerations, and guide you through the purchase process. If you’re considering new construction, it is generally best to involve your Realtor before your first visit or registration with the builder.

Yes. As the community has developed, resale properties have become an increasingly important part of the Esplanade by the Islands real estate market. Resale homes may offer advantages such as completed pools, landscaping, window treatments, designer improvements and other owner upgrades that can be valuable when comparing them with new construction.

Esplanade by the Islands was designed around a resort-style lifestyle. Amenities include a resort-style pool, Bahama Bar, fitness and wellness facilities, pickleball and tennis, spa and salon services, and a variety of social and lifestyle activities.

Esplanade by the Islands offers a variety of residential options, including single-family homes and coach homes. Buyers can choose from different floor plans, homesites, views and levels of upgrades, depending on current builder and resale availability.

No. Esplanade by the Islands is a resort-style community but does not have its own golf course. This can appeal to buyers who want extensive amenities and an active social lifestyle without living in a bundled-golf community.

There isn’t one option that’s right for every buyer. New construction may provide opportunities for newer finishes, builder warranties or incentives, while resale properties may already include significant improvements such as pools, outdoor kitchens, landscaping, window treatments and interior upgrades. I recommend comparing the total value of each property rather than simply comparing the advertised purchase prices.

An accurate market analysis should consider more than an automated estimate. I evaluate recent comparable sales, current and pending listings, floor plan, homesite, view, upgrades, pool and outdoor features, condition, and competing builder inventory to determine how your property is positioned in the current market.

Several factors can influence value, including the floor plan, homesite, water or preserve view, pool and outdoor living area, structural options, interior upgrades, condition and current competing inventory. Builder inventory and incentives can also influence the resale market, so I consider both resale activity and current new-construction competition when evaluating an Esplanade property.
