The Moorings is a prestigious waterfront neighborhood that occupies one of the most enviable positions in all of Naples, stretching between the Gulf of Mexico and Moorings Bay. This established neighborhood offers a rare combination of beach living and boating access, with many homes featuring direct water frontage and private docks. XL Homes of SWFL brings expert craftsmanship and deep knowledge of waterfront construction to The Moorings, building and renovating homes that capture the essence of Naples' coastal lifestyle while meeting the demanding structural requirements of Florida's Gulf Coast environment.
The Moorings is a mature residential neighborhood of approximately 2,500 homes and condominiums situated between the Gulf of Mexico and Moorings Bay. The neighborhood features a mix of single-family homes, villas, and low-rise to mid-rise condominiums, with single-family homes typically ranging from 2,000 to over 6,000 square feet. Many properties along Moorings Bay and its connecting canals offer deep-water access to the Gulf of Mexico, making this a premier address for boating enthusiasts. The Moorings Beach Park provides residents with a beautiful stretch of Gulf beach, while the central location places residents just minutes from Venetian Village, Coastland Center, and downtown Naples. The neighborhood's tree-lined streets, established landscaping, and varied architecture give it a settled, distinguished character.
Building in The Moorings requires expertise in both waterfront and non-waterfront construction techniques. Bayfront and canal-front properties demand marine-grade foundations, seawall assessment and potential replacement, and careful drainage engineering. The Moorings has a voluntary property owners association, and while there is no mandatory architectural review, Collier County setback and height restrictions apply throughout the neighborhood. Many homes in The Moorings were built in the 1960s and 1970s, and renovation projects frequently involve bringing electrical, plumbing, and structural systems up to current Florida Building Code standards. Demolition and new construction on these sites requires careful management of asbestos abatement and environmental considerations common in older Florida homes.
XL Homes serves The Moorings with custom home construction, tear-down and rebuild projects, whole-home renovations, and targeted upgrades. We specialize in maximizing waterfront living potential through thoughtful design that opens homes to bay and Gulf views, creates seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, and incorporates the latest in hurricane protection and energy efficiency. Our renovation expertise helps older Moorings homes meet modern luxury standards while preserving the character of this established neighborhood.
