Seven Shores vs Caymas: Which New Naples Community Fits You?
General education only — not legal, tax, financial, insurance, or other professional advice. Read the full disclaimer
If you’re shopping new construction along the Collier Boulevard corridor in Naples, two names come up again and again: Seven Shores (Toll Brothers) and Caymas (STOCK Development + Pulte). Both are gated, all-ages, amenity-rich, and not golf communities — but they fit different budgets and buyers. Here’s the honest comparison. (Verify current pricing and fees per home.)
Side by side

| Natural gas | Yes | Verify per home |
| Golf | No | No |
(All figures verify per home; new communities change.)
How to think about it
Budget and product is the first filter. Seven Shores is the value-to-luxury answer — its Harbor collection opens around $600K, with the Landing and Port collections climbing from there. Caymas skews larger and more luxury: Pulte starts around $800K and STOCK’s plans generally run $1.15M and up on a lakefront parcel. If you want the lower entry point, Seven Shores wins; if you want scale, a lakefront setting, and estate-level product, Caymas does.
Natural gas is Seven Shores’ quiet edge. It’s still uncommon for new construction in this area, and it matters for gas cooking, heating, and outdoor kitchens. If that’s on your list, Seven Shores has a real advantage.
Amenities: proven vs. marquee-in-progress. Seven Shores centers daily life on “The Meridian” amenity center — resort pool, fitness, tennis, and pickleball. Caymas’s headline is a brand-new ~30,000 sq ft clubhouse opening Fall 2026 (its Sports Park is already open) — exciting, but you’re buying during the amenity buildout, so verify the timeline.
Costs: check both carefully. Both carry HOA dues, and Caymas carries a CDD on the Collier County tax bill — confirm any CDD and current fees on the specific home you’re considering. See our guides to CDDs in Naples and HOA fees in Naples, and price base + lot premium + upgrades + fees on a real home in each.
Who each fits
- Choose Seven Shores for a lower entry point, natural gas, Toll Brothers design personalization, and an all-ages neighborhood with amenities you can use today.
- Choose Caymas for larger, newer luxury homes, a lakefront setting, and a marquee new clubhouse — if the budget and the buildout timeline work for you.
