About Esmeralda on Eighth
Esmeralda on Eighth is an exceptionally intimate luxury condominium community of just six residences in the heart of Old Naples, located on 8th Avenue South between 9th and 10th Streets South. Designed to provide the privacy and space of a single-family home with the convenience of condominium ownership, the residences feature individual entrances, private courtyards, attached two-car garages and private elevators that open directly into the homes. The setting puts Fifth Avenue South, Cambier Park, Third Street South, Naples Bay, restaurants, shopping, entertainment and Gulf beaches within easy reach.
Each residence provides more than 3,000 square feet of living space, with three-bedroom configurations, generous living and entertaining areas and substantial private outdoor space. One of the community’s most distinctive features is that every residence has its own heated saltwater swimming pool within a private landscaped courtyard. Large balconies and terraces further extend the living environment outdoors, while the private elevator and garage create an arrival experience more reminiscent of a luxury townhome or single-family residence than a traditional condominium.
With only six residences, Esmeralda on Eighth does not rely on a large shared amenity package to define the lifestyle. Instead, the amenities are incorporated directly into each individual home, giving owners their own pool, courtyard, garage and outdoor living areas. For buyers who want the maintenance advantages of condominium ownership but prefer greater privacy and fewer shared facilities, Esmeralda on Eighth offers an unusual alternative in one of Naples’ most walkable locations.
