Location

Enjoy living close to the upscale shopping, dining and coastal attractions of Naples, Florida, while also being close enough for a day trip to Fort Lauderdale and Miami. Ave Maria itself offers a Town Center with nearly 50 shops and services, from salons to supermarkets to smoothies.

Beyond the amenities and activities that make Ave Maria and Naples a great location for families and empty-nesters alike, the local schools are exceptional and ranked among the top in the nation, including Ave Maria University.

Ave Maria is one of the first places in Florida and the Southeast U.S. to achieve a Blue Zone Community Certification. The master-planned design of Ave Maria proudly demonstrates the Power 9® principles for longevity and well-being.

The town offers outdoor recreation, convenient connection points, amenities, events and activities throughout the year. The design of the town encourages people to bike ride or walk to restaurants, shops, and enjoy the miles of walking paths within the community and its parks.

The restaurants, grocery store and healthy eating options help residents live their healthiest and happiest life. Activities organized by the Ave Maria Master Association and Maple Ridge’s very own Lifestyle Director provide residents with opportunities to find their passion and achieve a sense of purpose while connecting with each other.
