Gated living next to a Naples nature preserve

Just off the Tamiami Trail, Winding Cypress combines the scenery of a nature preserve with the convenience and security of a gated community. Part of the Picayune Strand Forest surrounds the east side with thick trees and fills the neighborhood with egrets, turtles and other wildlife. A home in Winding Cypress also comes with access to on-site amenities and activities, from hobby club meetings to dinner at the exclusive clubhouse restaurant. “If you love the lifestyle of Florida, it’s like that island living, but it’s not crazy expensive like downtown Naples,” says Chelsi Murphy, the activities director for Winding Cypress, who has lived in Naples for 30 years. “It’s almost affordable luxury living; you get good bang for your buck.”

Private dinner and drinks at Shady Palm Café

Shady Palm Café is the main feature of the clubhouse. Overlooking the pool, the restaurant is exclusive to residents and their guests. It is open five days a week, and the bar also serves drinks during neighborhood parties. “Every community has its own DNA, its own amenities. Our big focus is our restaurant and the fact it’s really supported by our residents,” says Glenn Dobrydney, the general manager for Winding Cypress, who has been in Naples for 15 years. Winding Cypress is 2 miles from Tamiami Crossing and Shops at Eagle Creek on Collier Boulevard, with clothing shops and grocery stores like Walmart, Aldi and Publix.

Hurricanes and high winds in southwest Florida

Naples is prone to hurricanes, high winds and floods. Hurricane Irma in 2017, Hurricane Ian in 2022 and Hurricane Milton in 2024 all impacted the city. Winding Cypress’s inland location protects it from flooding and some storm damage, but strong winds occur throughout the year.
