SW Florida Insider- Tuscany Cove

Tuscany Cove is located on Collier Blvd., just south of Immokalee Road. It is a perfect choice for those who are looking for the security of a gated community but are not interested in a lot of amenities (who needs golf, or the golf fees, if you don't play the game?)

Tuscany Cove was developed by Elias Brothers Communities, who have been a part of the Naples real estate industry for the past 15 years (think Victoria Shores, the Villas at Greenwood Lake, the Villas of Crown Pointe, Royal Villas and Ibis Cove.)

Tuscany Cove has 78 acres of detached and twin villas. There are two large illuminated fountains and lots of preserve areas, along with lots of sidewalks for walking and biking. In addition, there is a 7,000 square foot clubhouse that offers an Olympic pool and spa, as well as a kiddie pool with a splash fountain. You can also find an exercise room, a fitness room and lots of socializing areas in the clubhouse. There are also two tennis courts available.

The home are of five different styles, from 1455 to 1987 square feet. Each home also has a lanai and a two car garage. Many have pools, and all have room to add a pool if there is not one.

I find that a lot of first time visitors to the area think that they want to be near the beach. They quickly change their mind when they realize the prices of properties that are beachfront, versus properties such as Tuscany Cove, where you can easily get to the beach by car.

Prices start in the low $200,000s and vary depending on the size of the home and the upgrades offered.

Elias Brothers has always maintained a focus on providing homes of both quality and value, backed by the highest level of customer service possible. I had the good fortune to sit at their model home center on many occasions and was continually impressed by their high standards.
