According to Todd Gates, a Southwest Florida developer, the potential hot spot in Collier County (Naples and Marco Island) is Golden Gate Estates. "The area has the potential to host up to 200,000 new residents in the next 20 years. People who live east of I-75 must now drive west toward Naples for goods and services. As new families move into the area, they are expected to demand convenient commercial centers. New zoning will allow office parks and retail centers to service the area. People are moving here, you cant stop them. You cant say I've got mine but you will have to move on. The very thing that attracted all of us to Southwest Florida will continue to act as a magnet for others. We are going to have to be able to house them and provide them with goods and services. That will drive commercial develpment there." says Gates.
Golden Gate Estates is a unique location of the Greater Naples area. Many famiies and retirees have elected to build in "The Estates" for a number of reasons. Space is the number one reason they are moving there. With lot sizes ranging form 1-1/4 acre up to 5 acres and beyond, the average lot size is 2.5 acres which allows the homeowners the privacy they seek. Golden Gate Estates has fewer restrictions for those seeking a little more freedom to fit their lifestyle, compared to the restraints of many gated communites.
