Get every Esplanade by the Islands sale from the last 12 months →Esplanade by the Islands is resort-style living without the golf tax: no course, no golf membership, no golf dues — the fees fund a 15,000-square-foot wellness venue, resort pools, on-site dining, and a packed social calendar instead. It’s a gated, Taylor Morrison-built lifestyle Esplanade (not the golf one) off US-41 East (Tamiami Trail East), about 15 minutes from downtown Naples and 20 from the Gulf.
Taylor Morrison is still building it out — roughly 1,250 homes planned across ~525 acres, with new construction alongside a growing resale market — in three home types: single-family homes, twin villas, and coach homes. I specialize in Esplanade and run a dedicated site for it, so treat this page as the quick read; the deep dives (every floor plan, the full fee breakdown, live listings) live on esplanadenaples.org.
What makes Esplanade by the Islands different
- A 15,000 sq ft Wellness & Venue facility — named 2025 Best Clubhouse (CBIA)
- Resort pool, resistance pool, cabana pool, and The Spa at Esplanade
- On-site dining: the poolside Bahama Bar, Toasted Café, and more
- Pickleball, tennis, and bocce, plus a bark park and walking trails
- Full-time lifestyle programming, managed by Troon
- Single-family, twin villa, and coach-home options — and no golf required
What it’s like to live in Esplanade by the Islands
Esplanade by the Islands is built around its resort amenities and social life. The centerpiece is a 15,000-square-foot Wellness & Venue facility — the Collier Building Industry Association’s 2025 Best Clubhouse — anchoring a campus with a resort pool, resistance pool, cabana pool, The Spa at Esplanade, a fitness center, and a movement studio. A full-time lifestyle team (managed by Troon) runs concerts, wine tastings, clubs, and signature events year-round.
Dining is on-site and part of the draw: the poolside Bahama Bar, Toasted Café, and additional venues (with an $800/year food-and-beverage minimum per home). For recreation there are pickleball, tennis, and bocce courts, a bark park, fire pits, and walking trails around the lakes and preserves. Take the full amenities tour and browse the events calendar on our dedicated Esplanade site.
It’s an all-ages resort community — not 55+ — and, unlike many Naples resort communities, it’s not built around golf, which keeps the focus (and the fees) on wellness, dining, and social amenities.
What’s inside the gates
The homes of Esplanade by the Islands
Esplanade by the Islands is a Taylor Morrison community of about 1,250 homes at buildout across roughly 525 acres, still selling new construction with a growing resale market. There are three product types — single-family homes, twin villas, and coach homes — across a range of one- and two-story floor plans.
An important ownership nuance: what the HOA covers differs by home type. Twin villas have their roof and exterior maintained by the master HOA; coach homes carry a separate neighborhood (condo) association on top of the master HOA; single-family owners handle their own roof and exterior. I’ll walk through the exact fees and coverage for any home.
Single-family homes
One- and two-story Taylor Morrison plans (e.g., Lazio, Bellisimo); the owner maintains the roof and exterior.
Twin villas
Single-story paired villas — the master HOA maintains the roof and exterior, with no separate sub-association.
Coach homes
Two-story coach-home buildings; a separate neighborhood association covers the building exterior and roof, on top of the master HOA.
The Esplanade by the Islands numbers that decide it
HOA Single-family $442–$471/mo by lot width · twin villa $457 · coach home $312.50 plus a condo fee (confirm via estoppel) — 2026 budget; + $800/yr food minimum per home · CDD Currents CDD (Collier district 9081), on the tax bill: $88–$329/mo by home type, lot width and bond series — coach homes & twin villas $88–$137, single-family $194–$329 (FY2027); verify per parcel · Golf: None at this community
Illustrative — fees vary by association. Verify per home.
The January after closing, the assessed value resets to roughly your purchase price — the seller’s current bill is not a preview of yours.
FEMA zones vary by parcel, and FEMA letters (LOMA/LOMR‑F) that change a home’s zone never appear on the map layer.
Esplanade by the Islands home prices & trends
Esplanade by the Islands is a newer, primarily new-construction market — Taylor Morrison is still selling, with releases continuing through buildout — alongside a growing resale market. New homes have generally ranged from the high-$600s to about $2.5M depending on home type, lot, and finishes, and the recent single-family resale median has run near $1.0M.
Carrying cost is higher than at a no-frills community: there’s a CDD (a bond debt-service line on your Collier tax bill), tiered HOA dues by home type, an $800/year food-and-beverage minimum, and a one-time $5,000 Working Fund contribution at resale (the buyer’s, by default). For the full current numbers by lot width and home type, see the Esplanade financials breakdown — and I’ll price your specific home end to end.

Esplanade by the Islands questions, answered
Is Esplanade by the Islands a 55+ community?
No. It is an all-ages resort-lifestyle community — there is no age restriction.
Does Esplanade by the Islands have golf?
No. It’s a resort/lifestyle Esplanade (not the separate Esplanade Golf & Country Club). The amenities center on wellness, pools, dining, and racquet sports rather than golf.
Does Esplanade by the Islands have a CDD, and how much is it?
Yes — the <strong>Currents CDD</strong> (Collier district 9081). It appears as a non-ad-valorem line on your tax bill, in addition to HOA dues. Under the district’s adopted FY2027 budget (the November 2026 tax bill) it runs roughly <strong>$1,059–$3,944 a year</strong>: coach homes and twin villas at the low end (about $1,059–$1,649 depending on phase) and single-family homes higher (about $2,333–$3,944 by lot width and phase). It is set by lot category and bond series, so I’ll pull the exact line for any specific home.
What does the HOA cost and cover?
HOA dues are tiered by home type — single-family (by lot width), twin villa, and coach home — and include the resort amenities and community-wide landscaping. Coach homes also pay a separate neighborhood association. See the full breakdown on esplanadenaples.org/financials and verify per home.
What is the $5,000 Working Fund?
A one-time capital contribution due at resale — the buyer’s obligation by default — that funds community reserves. Budget for it on a resale purchase.
What does it cost to buy in Esplanade by the Islands?
As of July 2026, Taylor Morrison’s published single-family base prices run from <strong>$599,999</strong> for the smallest plan (Monte) to <strong>$1,110,999</strong> for the largest (Ravenna). Coach homes are now sold as quick-move-in inventory only — no to-be-built coach homes were listed — starting near <strong>$477,990</strong> (Vitale). Those are base prices: finished homes run higher once you add the lot premium and design-studio (“Canvas”) selections, and option-loaded quick-move-in homes have listed past $1M. On top of price, budget for the carrying costs: a CDD debt-service line on the Collier tax bill, tiered HOA dues by home type, an $800/year food-and-beverage minimum, and a one-time $5,000 Working Fund at resale. Builder pricing and incentives move monthly — see the <a href="https://esplanadenaples.org/esplanade-builder-incentives">current incentives and pricing</a> on our dedicated Esplanade site, and verify with the builder.
What home types are available at Esplanade by the Islands?
Single-family homes, twin villas (paired single-story), and coach homes (condos), built by Taylor Morrison across a range of floor plans.

Your morning is the resort pool, not a tee sheet: a swim, then pickleball, then lunch at the Bahama Bar without leaving the gates. The afternoon is the wellness venue or the walking trails — and the fee bill at the end of the month has no golf dues in it, because there’s no golf course to fund. Could you see yourself here?
