Artesia Naples FL
Community Guide, Homes & HOA Fees
A gated resort-lifestyle community in South Naples built by WCI Communities — single-family homes and villas, resort amenities, no golf fees, and a location equidistant between Naples and Marco Island.
What Is Artesia Naples?
Artesia is a gated community in South Naples on Collier Boulevard, south of Rattlesnake Hammock Road. Built by WCI Communities, it offers single-family homes and attached villas at price points that are competitive for the Naples market. The community is defined by its resort-style amenity center, low mandatory fees, and a location that gives residents balanced access to both downtown Naples and Marco Island.
Unlike many Naples communities, Artesia has no golf course — which keeps HOA fees lower and means the amenity budget is entirely focused on resort lifestyle infrastructure. This makes it a strong choice for buyers who want resort living without the overhead of a golf club.
Where Is Artesia Located?
Artesia sits on Collier Boulevard (CR-951) in South Naples, positioned between the heart of Naples and Marco Island. This corridor is one of the most convenient in Collier County — US-41 access, Physicians Regional Medical Center, and the Hammock Bay area are all nearby.
The South Naples location is a specific draw for buyers who want to be equidistant between Naples proper and Marco Island rather than being anchored to North Naples or East Naples. It avoids both the higher price premiums of coastal North Naples and the remoteness of some East Naples communities.
Artesia Amenity Center
Artesia's amenity center is the social and recreational heart of the community. Because there is no golf course, the entire amenity budget is concentrated on resort lifestyle facilities — which gives Artesia a surprisingly robust package for its price point.
Artesia HOA Fees & What They Cover
HOA fees at Artesia typically run between $300 and $450 per month depending on home type. Villas often have slightly higher fees than single-family homes because exterior maintenance is included in villa HOA coverage. There are no mandatory golf or club membership fees at any level.
Home Types and Price Ranges at Artesia
Artesia offers two residential product types: attached villas and single-family homes. WCI built the community with a range of floor plans from two-bedroom, two-bath layouts to larger four-bedroom designs with three-car garages. Most homes feature open floor plans, screened lanais, and lake or preserve views.
Prices vary based on lot position (lake view vs. preserve vs. interior), floor plan size, and the level of builder upgrades in the home. WCI built Artesia with quality finishes as standard — quartz countertops, tile flooring, and stainless appliances are common in resale inventory.
