Longwater Village
Homes for Sale in Naples, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Longwater Village is entitled but has not reached the construction stage. County approval for up to 2,600 homes dates back to June 2021, and DRI infrastructure permitting is described as active in 2026, but as of this writing no builder has been publicly attached to the project. Anyone claiming to sell homes here or quote pricing should be treated with caution until a builder is officially confirmed by the developer, Collier Enterprises — this is a manual-verification item and readers should not assume the community is marketable yet.
Compare that to Rivergrass Village, a sibling community inside the same DRI where Lennar broke ground in February 2026. Longwater was entitled ahead of Rivergrass but is currently behind it on visible construction and builder activity. That gap is worth watching: entitlement is a legal milestone, not a construction one, and the two do not move in lockstep. Buyers who want to track Longwater should watch for a builder announcement as the next concrete signal, the same kind of signal that preceded Rivergrass's groundbreak.
Who Longwater Village is best for.
Best for
- Buyers researching future Big Cypress DRI options and wanting to track entitlement and permitting progress
- Buyers who already understand the sibling-village comparison and want an early signal before a builder is named
- Buyers with a long time horizon who are comfortable waiting for basic facts like builder and pricing to be published
Probably not for
- Buyers looking to purchase or reserve a home now — none are for sale, and no builder is confirmed
- Buyers who want a firm price, floor plan, or delivery timeline to plan around
- Buyers who need amenities and HOA structure defined before making a decision

The Longwater Village buying strategy.
If we were buying in Longwater Village today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Longwater Village.
Entitled, but no builder yet
Longwater Village was approved by the Collier County Commissioners in a 4-1 vote in June 2021, authorizing up to 2,600 single- and multi-family homes on developer Collier Enterprises' land inside the Town of Big Cypress Rural Lands Stewardship DRI. DRI infrastructure permitting is described as active in 2026, which is a step toward construction, but no builder has been publicly named for Longwater as of this writing. That distinguishes it from sibling villages in the same DRI — Rivergrass Village already has Lennar attached and broke ground in February 2026 — and readers should treat any Longwater pricing or availability claims as unconfirmed until a builder is officially announced.
Planned amenities include approximately 65,000 square feet of neighborhood commercial space, per the county approval; specific recreational amenities have not been published. HOA fees, any CDD assessment, home pricing, and unit sizes are all unknown at this stage — there is nothing published to compare. Schools fall under Collier County Public Schools, and zoning should be confirmed directly with the district rather than assumed from nearby communities.
Longwater's most direct comparisons are Ave Maria, Valencia Trails, and its own sibling, Rivergrass Village — all of which are further along, either actively selling or under active construction. Longwater's standing is that of an entitled, permitting-stage project: real on paper, but without a builder, price, or delivery date attached yet.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Longwater Village. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
