AQUALANE SHORES

Aqualane Shores is a waterfront neighborhood of single-family homes just south of downtown Naples, between Naples Bay and the Gulf of Mexico in ZIP code 34102. A subsidiary of a major oil company developed it in the 1960s by dredging mangrove swamps into deep-water canals, making it one of the first planned communities in Naples. It briefly incorporated as its own town before becoming part of the City of Naples (Naples Condo Boutique, 2026). Homes.com counts 394 homes in the neighborhood (Homes.com, accessed Oct 2026).
Homes and Prices
Most original homes date from the 1960s and 1970s. New construction began replacing them in the 1990s, and many lots now hold large custom estates. The neighborhood draws boaters because its canals reach the Gulf without passing under a bridge, and many homes have private docks at the seawall. Prices are among the highest in Naples: Homes.com reported a 12-month median sale price of about $9.75 million (Homes.com, accessed Oct 2026). Off-water lots trade for far less than wide-water, point and Gordon Pass-side sites.
Amenities and Lifestyle
Aqualane Shores is not gated, and the draw is the location. Residents can walk or bike to Naples Beach, the Third Street South shops and Fifth Avenue South, and they have quick boat access to Naples Bay and the Gulf.
HOA and Fees
The neighborhood is represented by the Aqualane Shores Association, which organizes community activities, follows City of Naples matters and works on clean, safe waterways. It offers an optional $100 annual membership (Aqualane Shores Association, Oct 2026). It is not a mandatory HOA. Building, dock and seawall rules come from the City of Naples.
Location
The neighborhood sits on the streets roughly between 14th and 21st Avenues South, west of Naples Bay and south of the Third Street South district. Naples Airport is about 5 miles away, and US 41 connects north to Fort Myers.
