Lancaster Square Condos at Kensington in Naples Florida

Lancaster Square is a low-density coach-home condominium neighborhood within Kensington Golf & Country Club in Naples, Florida. Residences are concentrated along Lancaster Drive in small four-home buildings, creating a more residential ownership experience than a conventional condominium complex.

Lancaster Square is divided into three condominium phases—Lancaster Square I, Lancaster Square II and Lancaster Square III. Buyers should identify the exact phase before comparing condominium fees, reserve funding, insurance, maintenance obligations or recent sales because the three associations are legally and financially distinct.

Three Condominium Phases • Four-Residence Coach-Home Buildings • First- & Second-Floor Homes • Attached Two-Car Garages • Private Elevators in Select Residences • Golf & Lake Views

Lancaster Square at a Glance

Three Condominium Phases Lancaster Square I, II and III should be evaluated separately for association costs and finances.

Four Homes Per Building Small coach-home buildings provide private entries and a more residential atmosphere.

Large Floor Plans Lancaster Square includes substantial first-floor residences and larger upper-level coach homes.

Garages & Elevators Attached two-car garages are strongly represented, with private elevators in selected upper residences.

Lancaster Drive Coach Homes

Lancaster Drive defines the neighborhood. Its low-rise buildings are positioned among lakes, golf-course scenery and mature landscaping, so exact building location has a meaningful effect on privacy and permanent view.

The best real-estate comparison therefore starts with the specific Lancaster Drive residence rather than a broad Kensington condominium average.

Four-Residence Buildings

Lancaster Square commonly uses a four-residence coach-home format, with first-floor homes and upper residences sharing a relatively small building footprint.

The limited number of immediate neighbors, private entrances and attached garages create a residential feel that differs substantially from corridor-style condominium buildings.

Three Lancaster Square Condominium Phases

Lancaster Square I

Lancaster Square I contains some of the neighborhood's earlier residences and includes both first-floor and upper-level coach homes. Because these buildings have matured, renovation history, roofs, exterior work, storm protection and major association projects deserve careful review.

Lancaster Square II

Lancaster Square II is the smallest of the three phases, with only a limited number of residences. Its small inventory means listings and recent same-phase sales may be relatively infrequent.

When an exact Lancaster Square II comparable is unavailable, buyers and sellers may need to consider carefully selected Lancaster Square I or III sales while adjusting for floor plan, floor level, view, elevator and association differences.

Lancaster Square III

Lancaster Square III contains later Lancaster Drive construction and includes both first-floor and upper-level residences. Current and historical MLS records demonstrate substantial two-bedroom-plus-den and three-bedroom coach-home configurations.

Association rule: never compare Lancaster Square I, II and III fees, reserves, insurance or assessments as though they were one condominium association. Verify the exact legal phase for the property being purchased or sold.

Lancaster Square Floor Plans

One of Lancaster Square's distinguishing features is its generous interior scale. Smaller residences generally provide more than 2,000 square feet of living area, while selected larger coach homes approach the size of a detached residence.

Because recorded living area can differ by phase, public record and MLS measurement source, buyers should verify the specific residence rather than assigning one universal square-foot figure to every Lancaster Square floor plan.

First-Floor Residences

First-floor Lancaster Square condos provide direct single-level circulation between the garage, living spaces, bedrooms and screened lanai. This layout can appeal to buyers who prefer everyday accessibility without stairs or elevator dependence.

Ground-level homes can still provide substantial interior living area and attractive golf, lake or landscaped views.

Upper-Level Coach Homes

Upper-level residences can provide larger floor plans, additional privacy, elevated sightlines and greater ceiling volume. Depending on the exact residence, buyers may also find private elevators, bonus spaces, wet bars or expanded living areas.

Upper-floor value should be evaluated according to actual floor plan, elevator, view, ceiling configuration and renovation rather than simply assuming every second-floor property is superior.

Private Elevators

Private elevators are represented in selected Lancaster Square upper residences and can materially improve accessibility for long-term ownership.

Elevator presence is property specific. Buyers should verify installation, service history, inspection requirements, controls, emergency features and maintenance responsibility for the individual residence.

Attached Two-Car Garages

Attached two-car garages are one of Lancaster Square's important practical advantages. They provide vehicle parking and additional room for bicycles, golf equipment, beach equipment and household storage.

Garage width, depth, ceiling height and actual storage capacity can differ, so buyers should inspect the physical space rather than relying solely on the advertised garage count.

Large Screened Lanais

Screened lanais extend Lancaster Square's usable living area and often frame the permanent lake, golf-course or landscaped setting behind the residence.

Compare lanai depth, rear orientation, screening, flooring, storm protection and privacy. A wide lanai with a broad lake-and-golf panorama can have a very different ownership experience from the same interior floor plan with a more enclosed view.

Golf-Course Views

Golf scenery is represented throughout Lancaster Square. When evaluating a golf-oriented residence, consider fairway position, green or tee proximity, cart paths, golfer activity, landscape buffers and the amount of open scenery visible from inside the home.

Lake Views

Lake frontage can provide visual separation, wildlife and a broader sense of openness. Water width and shoreline position should be considered together with rear exposure and the view beyond the lake.

Combined Lake & Golf Views

Some Lancaster Square residences combine water in the foreground with golf-course scenery beyond. This layered setting can provide greater visual depth and additional separation from active play.

Permanent view characteristics can materially affect value even when two properties share the same floor plan and association phase.

Rear Exposure & Natural Light

Rear orientation affects afternoon heat, lanai comfort, natural light and sunset potential. Western or southwestern exposure may appeal to buyers seeking evening light, while other orientations can provide a cooler lanai during parts of the day.

The preferred exposure depends on the individual owner's priorities and should always be evaluated together with the permanent view.

Neighborhood Swimming Facilities

Lancaster Square residents have access to neighborhood recreation rather than needing to maintain an individual private pool. This can appeal particularly to seasonal owners who want convenient recreation with fewer private-pool maintenance responsibilities.

The applicable association documents should be reviewed to confirm responsibility for pool facilities and related capital expenses.

Construction Era & Capital Improvements

Lancaster Square was developed over several phases from the mid-1990s into the early 2000s. As the buildings mature, roofs, exterior finishes, paving, drainage, landscaping, pool facilities, mechanical systems and storm protection become increasingly important parts of the ownership analysis.

A renovated interior does not eliminate the need to understand the condition of association-maintained components.

Renovated Lancaster Square Condos

Interior renovation varies considerably. Updated residences can include modern kitchens, remodeled bathrooms, newer flooring, contemporary lighting, updated appliances and improved hurricane protection.

Buyers should distinguish cosmetic updates from more expensive capital improvements such as impact windows, plumbing work, HVAC replacement and permitted structural changes.

HVAC, Water Heaters & Plumbing

Mechanical systems should be reviewed individually. Installation dates, maintenance records, plumbing updates and electrical work can materially affect near-term ownership costs.

Association responsibility for building-level plumbing or other common systems should also be confirmed before closing.

Impact Glass & Storm Protection

Storm protection varies by residence. Some properties include impact-resistant windows and doors, while others use electric or manual shutters.

Large lanai openings deserve particular attention. Buyers should confirm protection for every exterior opening rather than relying on a general MLS description.

Lancaster Square Condominium Associations

Lancaster Square is one recognizable residential neighborhood but contains separate condominium associations for Lancaster Square I, Lancaster Square II and Lancaster Square III.

That distinction is central to buyer due diligence because association budgets, reserve funding, insurance, assessments and maintenance obligations can differ.

Association Financial Review

Buyers should obtain current condominium documents for the exact phase and review more than the regular assessment amount.

current operating budget;
reserve balances and planned reserve expenditures;
master insurance and hurricane deductibles;
roof and exterior responsibilities;
paving, drainage and landscaping obligations;
pool and recreation expenses;
approved or proposed special assessments;
recent board meeting minutes;
rental and pet restrictions;
renovation and architectural-approval procedures.

Association Insurance

The master policy should be reviewed together with the owner's individual condominium insurance needs. Buyers should understand association coverage, deductibles, responsibility for windows and doors, interior improvements and potential loss-assessment exposure.

Special Assessments

A lower regular condominium fee does not necessarily mean a lower total ownership cost. Upcoming roofs, exterior work, insurance changes or other major projects can create additional financial obligations.

Current budgets, board minutes and estoppel information should control rather than an older listing description.

Pet, Rental & Parking Rules

Lancaster Square documents can regulate pets, leasing, guest parking, commercial vehicles and other residential use. Buyers with a specific rental strategy, pet requirement or vehicle need should review the current written rules for the exact phase.

How to Compare Lancaster Square Sales

A Lancaster Square condo should first be compared with sales from the same condominium phase and a similar floor plan.

A first-floor residence just over 2,000 square feet should not automatically be valued against one of the neighborhood's largest upper coach homes merely because both are located on Lancaster Drive.

Lancaster Square valuation sequence: condominium phase → floor plan and verified living area → first- or second-floor position → private elevator → building location → lake/golf/landscaped view → rear exposure → garage → lanai → renovation → major systems → storm protection → association finances → closest comparable sales.

Price Per Square Foot

Price per square foot can provide supporting context within a narrow group of genuinely comparable Lancaster Square homes, but it should not determine value by itself.

Phase, floor level, elevator access, permanent view, renovation and association financial condition can all create significant differences between residences of similar size.

Seasonal Ownership

Lancaster Square can work well for seasonal Naples ownership because the residences provide substantial interior space, attached garages, screened lanais and association-managed common components without the same exterior responsibilities as many detached homes.

Seasonal owners should still plan for home-watch visits, humidity monitoring, storm preparation and other interior maintenance while away.

Full-Time Living

The larger Lancaster Square coach homes provide enough living area for many full-time owners who want condominium convenience without downsizing into a conventional smaller condo.

Guest bedrooms, dens, laundry rooms, large kitchens, attached garages and extensive outdoor living can make selected residences function much like a detached home.

Kensington Golf & Country Club Membership

Lancaster Square residential ownership and private Club membership should be evaluated separately. Purchasing a condominium should not be interpreted as automatically providing a specific golf, sport or social membership.

Individual listings can sometimes advertise a transferable or priority membership opportunity, but those opportunities are property specific and should be independently verified. Membership categories, availability, joining requirements, capital obligations, dues and privileges may change.

Buyer reminder: choose the Lancaster Square residence based first on phase, floor plan, view, elevator, garage, condition and association finances. Evaluate private Club membership separately according to current availability and the buyer's intended lifestyle.

Selling a Lancaster Square Condo

Lancaster Square sellers should identify the exact association phase and competitive floor plan before relying on broader Kensington statistics.

Document permanent characteristics first—floor level, elevator, lake or golf relationship, rear exposure, garage and lanai—then clearly identify meaningful renovations, mechanical replacements and storm-protection improvements.
