look for when house hunting
AMENITIES
From page 1
2. Healthy living: The right neighborhood
for your family is one that’s
built for a healthy lifestyle. Find out
whether your prospective new neighborhood
has achieved Blue Zones
Project certification. This pioneering
health initiative is helping communities
commit to improving the
well-being of residents by offering
them opportunities to move naturally,
eat better, develop social circles,
and live with purpose. As one of the
first places to earn the designation
in Florida and the Southeast United
States, Ave Maria is a good example
of a town designed to help residents
live their healthiest, happiest life.
3. A town center: A neighborhood
with its own town center blends big
town convenience with small town
connection. Merchants are not just
businesses, they are neighbors, too,
so that you don’t have to leave the
neighborhood to find all the shopping
and services you need, from
supermarkets, restaurants and boutiques
to spas, salons and doctors.
4. Great value: The lifestyle you
want should come at the right price.
Fortunately, you don’t have to overspend
to find a new home in one of
the country’s most desirable locations,
Southwest Florida. Named the
fastest growing new home community
in Southwest Florida since 2015
by MetroStudy, and Community of
the Year by Collier Building Industry
Association since 2015, Ave Maria
offers the same type of lifestyle
amenities, albeit at a much greater
value, than similar options in nearby,
more expensive Naples.
5. Top-notch schools: Check out local,
state and national rankings, visit
school websites, and connect with
parents to learn their perspectives.
Ave Maria is in the Collier County
School District, which is ranked
sixth in the state of Florida. Boasting
highly-regarded pre-K to postgrad
schools that are A-rated by the
Florida Department of Education,
its private schools are on-site and
nationally recognized for excellence.
It’s also home to Ave Maria University,
which lends the local scene a college-town
energy, complete with continuing
education, cultural activities
and athletic events. This accredited
liberal arts university offers 33 majors
and 31 minors.
