Condos Near Bonita Beach in Sterling Oaks Naples Florida

Sterling Oaks Condos For Sale Naples Florida

Sterling Oaks North Naples Florida

When buyers of Bonita Springs real estate ask to be west of 41 to be closer to Bonita Beach there are a few  communities we recommend looking at that are just east of US 41/Tamiami Trail, also.  Sterling Oaks flies under the radar because it’s actually just over the Collier County line and has a Naples address.

The community is a gated, tennis and pickleball community.  It’s located very near to the Woods Edge Parkway traffic signal which would provide safe passage to bike riders heading to the beach. If you’d like to learn more about the community, read also:  Sterling Oaks 

If you’re considering purchasing a condo in Southwest Florida and your desire is to be close to the beach without paying “on the beach” prices Sterling Oaks may be something to look at.  In February of 2024 the inventory is slightly over eight months of inventory which tips the favor slightly toward the buyers. If you’re ready to took at a few condos or homes give us a call or text 239-728-7599.  You can see all Sterling Oaks properties for sale here: Sterling Oaks Properties
