MOORINGS Market Report Listings, Pending Sales & Closings
The Moorings Waterfront Condos Market Report tracks current condominium listings and recent sales throughout one of Naples' broadest established coastal condominium markets. The Moorings contains approximately 82 condominium buildings with residences overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, Moorings Bay, Doctors Bay, Doctors Pass and other protected waterways, along with buildings whose primary advantage is convenient Gulf Shore Boulevard and beach proximity.
Those properties should not be interpreted as one interchangeable condominium market. A large newer residence near Doctors Pass can compete in an entirely different price category from a smaller established Gulf-front condo or a bayfront residence in an older building. For meaningful valuation, The Moorings should therefore be analyzed building by building first.
How to Read the Moorings Condo Market Report
The live RealGeeks tables below provide current Moorings waterfront condominium listings and recent closed sales. They are useful for identifying active competition, asking prices, closed prices, price per square foot and days on market.
The overall statistics should be treated only as broad neighborhood information. The current Moorings condominium market includes substantially different buildings, residence sizes, water relationships and construction generations.
Building-First Market Analysis
The best comparable sale for a Moorings condominium is usually a recent transaction within the same building and a genuinely similar residence.
If the building has limited recent sales, the comparison can expand to other Moorings buildings that provide a similar ownership experience.
Exact Building
Start with listings and sales inside the same condominium association.
Waterfront Category
Separate direct Gulf-front, Moorings Bay, Doctors Pass and near-beach properties.
Residence Size
Large estate-scale condos should not be compared indiscriminately with smaller traditional units.
Construction Generation
Newer luxury construction can belong to a different competitive market from older buildings.
Moorings Gulf-Front Condo Market
Direct Gulf-front Moorings buildings offer one of the neighborhood's most recognizable ownership experiences. Residences can provide western Gulf views, beach access and sunset exposure directly from Gulf Shore Boulevard.
Even among Gulf-front buildings, however, values vary significantly. Floor level, residence stack, width of Gulf exposure, balcony configuration, building density, parking, amenities and renovation can all influence price.
Moorings Bay Condos
Moorings Bay condominiums occupy a separate waterfront category from direct beachfront buildings.
Their ownership experience can emphasize protected-water views, boating activity, sunrise exposure and a quieter bayfront setting. Some buildings also offer docks or boat slips.
Bayfront sales should therefore be compared primarily with similar Moorings Bay or protected-water residences rather than automatically with Gulf-front transactions.
Doctors Pass & Gulf-Access Locations
Doctors Pass creates one of the Moorings' most distinctive waterfront settings. Residences near the pass can combine Gulf proximity, boating activity, broad water views and convenient access between protected water and the Gulf.
The exact water orientation should be confirmed rather than assuming every Doctors Pass-area residence has identical Gulf, bay or boating characteristics.
Boat Slips & Dock Rights
Selected Moorings condominiums provide boat slips or other docking arrangements. Dockage is building- and residence-specific.
- Determine whether the slip is deeded, assigned, leased or separately purchased.
- Confirm whether dock rights transfer with the residence.
- Verify permitted vessel dimensions.
- Confirm lift capacity where applicable.
- Review water depth and navigational route.
- Confirm applicable dock or marina fees.
- Verify practical Gulf access through Doctors Pass.
Newer Luxury Moorings Condos
The Moorings market is no longer composed only of traditional mid-century and late-20th-century condominium buildings. Newer luxury projects have introduced substantially larger residences, contemporary storm standards, private elevators, high-end kitchens, expanded outdoor living and more private parking configurations.
Those residences should be evaluated separately from conventional older Moorings condos.
3300 Gulf Shore
3300 Gulf Shore illustrates the newer high-end segment of the Moorings condominium market.
Its large residences, new construction generation, bayfront setting, modern amenities and substantial interior living areas can produce values far above the traditional Moorings condominium average.
For valuation, 3300 should first be compared with its own residences and genuinely similar newer Naples luxury condo buildings.
La Perle
La Perle provides another example of newer boutique construction within the Moorings waterfront market.
Its low-density structure, newer construction, substantial residence sizes and boating opportunities place it in a different competitive category from many traditional Moorings buildings.
La Perle should therefore be valued primarily against La Perle and similar boutique luxury properties rather than from a neighborhood average.
Established Moorings Condominiums
Older Moorings condominium buildings remain highly relevant because many occupy exceptional Gulf-front or bayfront sites that cannot be replicated.
Construction age alone does not determine quality or value. A well-maintained association that has completed major structural, waterproofing, roof, elevator and mechanical projects can compare very differently from a building of similar age facing substantial future work.
Floor Level & Residence Stack
Two residences in the same Moorings building can trade at materially different values because floor level and stack affect view, privacy, natural light and outdoor living.
Higher floors may provide broader Gulf or bay horizons. Lower floors may offer a closer relationship with the beach, landscaping or water.
Corner positions can also provide additional windows and multiple view directions.
Gulf, Bay, Pass & Coastline Views
Waterfront should not be treated as a single view category.
Direct Gulf
Western Gulf horizon and sunset views from direct beachfront buildings.
Moorings Bay
Protected-water views with boating activity and broad bay exposure.
Doctors Pass
Dynamic water views near the connection between bay and Gulf.
Coastline
Selected higher-floor residences may provide long north or south coastal views.
Balconies, Lanais & Terraces
Outdoor living is an important component of Moorings condominium value.
Compare depth, width, orientation, screening, storm protection, privacy and whether the terrace comfortably accommodates both dining and lounge furniture.
Where older lanais have been enclosed, verify permits and whether the enclosed space is legally included in the stated living area.
Residence Size
The Moorings condominium market includes everything from relatively compact two-bedroom residences to large luxury homes exceeding 4,000 or 5,000 square feet.
Those residences should not be valued from one price-per-square-foot average. Larger combination units, penthouses and newer luxury residences generally belong to separate buyer pools.
Combined Units & Unique Floor Plans
Some established Moorings buildings contain residences created by combining two or more original condominium units.
These properties can provide substantially larger interior space but require additional due diligence.
- Verify the legal unit configuration.
- Confirm association approval of the combination.
- Review permits for structural modifications.
- Confirm how condominium fees are calculated.
- Verify parking and storage assigned to the combined residence.
Renovated vs. Original Condos
Interior condition can produce substantial value differences inside the same Moorings building.
Kitchen & Baths
Compare cabinetry, appliances, counters, plumbing fixtures and layout.
Flooring & Millwork
Review flooring, doors, trim, lighting and custom cabinetry.
Impact Protection
Confirm impact windows, sliding doors, shutters and storm-screen systems.
Mechanical Systems
Review HVAC, water heaters, electrical and plumbing upgrades.
Parking, Garages & Storage
Parking varies materially throughout the Moorings condominium market.
Depending upon the building and residence, parking may be surface, covered, under-building, deeded, assigned or structured as a more private garage arrangement.
Storage can also range from small lockers to larger climate-controlled spaces in newer luxury buildings.
Always confirm the legal parking and storage rights that convey with the residence.
Beach Access
Direct Gulf-front condominium buildings can provide their own immediate beach relationship. Other Moorings properties can be near the Gulf without occupying beachfront land.
Moorings Property Owners Association beach-park eligibility and other beach-access arrangements should be verified for the specific property rather than assumed to apply identically to every condominium residence.
Association Reserves & Capital Projects
The condominium association is a major part of the Moorings ownership decision.
Buyers should review both financial condition and the physical condition of the building.
- Reserve balances and funding
- Approved or proposed assessments
- Roof condition
- Exterior painting and waterproofing
- Balcony restoration
- Structural and engineering work
- Elevator modernization
- Plumbing and electrical projects
- Garage and parking improvements
- Pool and amenity renovation
Insurance, Flood & Coastal Exposure
The Moorings' coastal setting makes insurance an important part of condominium due diligence.
Review the association master policy, deductibles, flood information, wind coverage and responsibility for unit-level improvements and exterior openings.
A buyer should also obtain property-specific insurance guidance rather than relying on another unit owner's premium.
Rental & Pet Restrictions
The Moorings contains many independent condominium associations. Rental and pet policies therefore vary considerably by building.
Confirm minimum lease periods, number of leases permitted annually, application procedures, guest policies, pet count and size limits before relying on a particular ownership strategy.
Moorings Condo Price per Square Foot
Price per square foot can be useful when the comparable residences are actually similar.
It becomes much less reliable when a report combines an established 1,200-square-foot condominium with a newer 4,000-square-foot luxury residence.
Days on Market
Moorings condominium listings currently demonstrate a broad range of marketing periods.
A long marketing period does not automatically mean that a building is undesirable. An unusually large luxury residence, combination unit or high-priced newer property can naturally have a smaller buyer pool.
Review the complete listing history, price changes and property type before interpreting days on market.
Active Listings vs. Closed Sales
Active listings show what a buyer can purchase today. Closed sales show what buyers have actually agreed to pay.
Both datasets matter. Current competition helps determine alternatives available to the buyer, while recent closed transactions provide evidence of actual market acceptance.
The Current Moorings Condo Market Is Highly Segmented
Current listings illustrate how different Moorings condominium products have become.
Newer large residences at 3300 Gulf Shore occupy the upper end of the market, while La Perle provides newer boutique waterfront inventory. At the same time, established Gulf Shore Boulevard buildings continue to offer residences at substantially lower price points.
That spread is not a reason to avoid the overall market report. It is a reason to use it correctly.

Selling a Moorings Waterfront Condo
Moorings sellers should position their residence within its true competitive set rather than relying on the broad neighborhood average.
Permanent attributes should be documented first: building, waterfront type, floor, stack, residence size, view, terrace, parking, storage and any boating rights.
Interior renovation, impact protection, mechanical improvements and association capital work can then be incorporated into the pricing analysis.
