Palm River Estates stands out for its lack of HOA

Located in highly coveted North Naples, Palm River Estates offers buyers an alternative to most other neighborhoods in the southwest Florida community. “The biggest thing is that there’s no gate there, and there’s no HOA,” says Realtor Tanner Miller with Pfeifer Realty Group. “Pretty much every community in North Naples in general has an HOA, so that’s one of the lures to Palm River Estates. You have incredible views of a golf course that you’re not paying for, as well as waterfront homes, and you’re in proximity to beaches, great schools and great hospitals. There’s everything that you could want there.”

Palm River Estates features many large homes overlooking the greens of La Playa Golf Club.
