Interlachen in Pelican Bay

There are a handful of places in Naples that feel like they belong to a different design conversation, and Interlachen  is one of them. You come home through lush, perfectly-kept landscaping, metal roofs and clean lines peek through the palms, and suddenly you are in a little pocket of Pelican Bay that feels architectural, intentional, and quietly cool. It is central, easy, and timeless, with the golf course nearby and the beach lifestyle just a tram ride away. 

Big-Picture Appeal

• True “design people” architecture with a Frank Lloyd Wright inspired vibe you simply do not see elsewhere in Naples. 

• Two lifestyles in one neighborhood: mid-rise condos on or near the golf course, plus attached villas with garages. 

• Central Pelican Bay Boulevard location that makes daily life easy, whether you are heading to the beach, tennis, dining, or shopping. 

• Pelican Bay beach advantage: tram access to the beach clubs is convenient, so “let’s go to the beach” can actually be spontaneous. 

Interlachen at a glance

Interlachen is a boutique-scale community of 93 total homes, made up of mid-rise condos plus attached villas. Many residences enjoy golf, lake, or preserve views, and the overall feel is peaceful and beautifully landscaped. 

The architecture story, and why the first building matters

If you love character, Interlachen rewards you. The original architectural vision is the star here, especially in that earliest condo building where the design details feel the most distinctive. Later phases still live beautifully and keep the aesthetic, but the “wow, this is different” factor tends to be strongest in that first building.

My advice is simple: let the architecture be part of your buying criteria. In Interlachen, the right building and orientation can change the entire feel of the home.

Mid-rise condos: golf-course calm, with a boutique feel

These are the residences for buyers who want Pelican Bay convenience without the high-rise experience. Expect a quieter rhythm, a more intimate scale, and views that lean into greenery and golf rather than big Gulf panoramas. 

Why buyers love the mid-rises:

• You are in the center of Pelican Bay, close to everything

• The setting feels tucked-in and tropical

• It is easy to lock-and-leave, yet still feels warm and residential

Attached villas: the “best of both” choice

Interlachen’s villas are attached and architectural, with attached garages and a cool, modern presence that stands out in Naples. Many owners enjoy the simplicity of community-style amenities rather than maintaining a private pool, and the neighborhood pool area becomes part of the lifestyle. (Some homes may be customized differently over time, so we always confirm what is specific to each property.)

The Pelican Bay lifestyle that comes with it

Interlachen sits inside Pelican Bay, meaning you are buying into one of Naples’ most lifestyle-forward communities with private beach access and beach clubs, plus a day-to-day environment that is designed around nature and ease. And because the beach tram access is nearby, beach days can feel effortless instead of planned. 

Who Interlachen is perfect for

• Design-forward buyers who want something that does not look like every other Naples condo

• Golf-course view lovers who prefer green, peaceful vistas over towering skyline living 

• Lock-and-leave second-home owners who still want personality and warmth

• Villa buyers who want a garage and architectural style, without taking on a full single-family maintenance load 

Smart Buyer Notes

• Micro-location matters: golf exposure, lake orientation, and privacy lines can change value and daily enjoyment

• Phase and building selection matters: if architectural character is your priority, we will target the most distinctive options first

• Rules vary by association: leasing and pet policies can differ, so we verify the exact rules before you fall in love 

• Due diligence always: Ask Melinda to help you review condo financials, reserves, insurance, and any planned capital projects early so there are no surprises
