Naples Real Estate Ave Maria Tour

In a post on October 11, I made an initial post about the new town of Ave Maria. Yesterday I was fortunate to be able to tour the future town and see how construction is coming on Ave Maria University. The tour was on a bus and those touring could not get off the bus at any time during the trip.

I wanted to share my photos of the tour with those that might be interested in purchasing a home or condominium in Ave Maria.

Scene shot about one mile from the center of the town.

Zoomed in view from about one mile, you can clearly see the Oratory.

Future Lake Park Site

The center of Ave Maria is called the La Piazza

The Oratory is the central point of La Piazza with the retail and commercial stores on the first floor of these buildings and condominiums on the second and third stories.

The Student Center for Ave Maria University

is located directly across the street from the La Piazza and Oratory.

Lee County Real Estate Taxes Online

The Lee County real estate taxes for 2006 are now available online. If you own Bonita Springs real estate or Estero real estate you can now find your annual real estate tax bill online. The Lee County Tax Collector website has the information for you.

Many people may see a substantial increase in their annual real estate tax bill this year, due to increases in property values during 2005. It is important to note that the assessed value of your real estate holdings is based upon sales which took place in calendar year 2005. Current market values could be less.

Property owners that have their homes or condominiums as homesteads may not see as significant increase, due the relief offered by the "Save Our Homes Admendment."
