Questions residents ask
Is Lely Resort gated?
Yes — Collier County records list it as a gated community.
What evacuation zone is Lely Resort in?
Zone C, per Collier County Emergency Management (checked August 2026). Always confirm your exact address on the county's official lookup before a storm.
What day is trash pickup in Lely Resort?
Thursday, per the county's collection map (checked August 2026).
Is all of Lely Resort gated, and is golf required?
Not uniformly. Lely Resort is a roughly 3,000-acre master-planned community of more than 40 neighborhoods in East Naples, developed by Stock Development, and it is best thought of as an umbrella: many individual neighborhoods (Majors, Lakoya, Classics Plantation Estates and others) are gated, while some are not — all sit under the Lely Resort Master POA. Golf is optional for most homeowners: two of the three courses (Flamingo Island and Mustang) offer public play and the third (The Classics) is a separate private membership, so a course membership is a choice rather than a mandatory bundled cost (Lely master-association and club materials, checked August 2026).
Is Lely Resort in a flood zone?
Its mapped flood features break down as 56% zone X500, 34% zone X (outside the high-risk area), 9% zone AE (high-risk area), 1% zone AH (high-risk area). That's county map data — not a flood determination for insurance or lending purposes — so check your parcel on the official lookup.
