A Town Built Around Community

Ave Maria is not a typical Florida subdivision — it's a fully realized, award-winning master-planned town in Collier County designed from the ground up for walkability, civic life, and family connection. Thoughtfully crafted from its very first street, it stands as one of the most intentionally designed communities in Southwest Florida, blending modern convenience with genuine small-town character.

Downtown Ave Maria brings together locally owned and national shops, family restaurants, coffee houses, and community gathering spaces — all accessible on foot or by golf cart from Gatherpoint. The town is celebrated for its safety, beautifully maintained public spaces, and a warm small-town atmosphere within easy reach of Naples and the greater Collier County area.

When you live at Gatherpoint, you're not just buying a home — you're becoming part of a thriving, intentional community built for the way people actually want to live.
