About Montebello

Montebello is an intimate gated community of just 65 single-family homes in central Naples, located off Airport-Pulling Road at the end of Bailey Lane. The neighborhood is arranged around two lakes and lush tropical landscaping, with homesites offering a combination of lake, preserve and golf-course views. Residences include both one- and two-story designs and range from established luxury homes to newer residences, creating architectural and design variety while maintaining the upscale residential character of the neighborhood. Private swimming pools, screened lanais and substantial outdoor living spaces are common among individual properties.

One of Montebello’s strongest advantages is its combination of privacy and central Naples convenience. The community is tucked away from major roadways yet remains close to shopping, dining, healthcare and everyday services, with Downtown Naples, Fifth Avenue South, Waterside Shops, Artis-Naples and Gulf beaches readily accessible. Montebello does not revolve around a community clubhouse or recreational complex, making it appealing to buyers who prefer to enjoy amenities at their own residence and throughout Naples rather than supporting an extensive private-club infrastructure.

Why People Like the Montebello Community

  • Only 65 Homes: The limited number of residences creates an intimate, low-density neighborhood environment.
  • Single-Family Living: Montebello consists exclusively of detached homes with private outdoor spaces and attached garages.
  • Lake, Preserve and Golf Views: Homesites offer a variety of attractive settings, including views toward the neighboring Royal Poinciana Golf Club.
  • Private Outdoor Living: Many residences feature private swimming pools, spas, screened lanais and outdoor entertaining areas.
  • No Mandatory Golf Membership: Residents can enjoy the golf-course surroundings without being required to maintain membership in a country club.
  • Central Naples Location: Beaches, Downtown Naples, shopping, dining, healthcare and cultural attractions are conveniently accessible.

What You Need to Know About Living in Montebello

  • Montebello Is Gated: Controlled access complements the community’s intimate residential setting.
  • There Is a Mandatory HOA: Buyers should review current association fees, reserves, maintenance responsibilities and governing documents when evaluating ownership.
  • There Is No Central Recreational Complex: Montebello does not have its own community clubhouse, swimming pool, fitness center or racquet-sports facilities.
  • Royal Poinciana Golf Club Is Separate: Some residences enjoy views of the neighboring golf course, but club membership and privileges are not included with Montebello homeownership.
  • Homes Vary Considerably: Age, design, renovations, hurricane protection, private pools and other property features can differ significantly from one residence to another.

Montebello Amenities

Montebello takes a simple approach to community amenities, with the residential setting and individual homes providing much of the lifestyle. There is no community clubhouse, shared swimming pool, fitness center or sports complex. Instead, the neighborhood is defined by its gated entrance, two scenic lakes, tropical landscaping, preserve areas and attractive residential streets, creating an upscale environment without the ongoing expense of an extensive shared recreational facility.

Private outdoor living is particularly important in Montebello. Many residences feature private swimming pools and spas, screened lanais, outdoor kitchens and generous entertaining areas, allowing homeowners to enjoy the Southwest Florida lifestyle directly at home. Lake, preserve and golf-course settings provide different backdrops throughout the neighborhood, making the individual homesite an important consideration when comparing properties.

The neighboring Royal Poinciana Golf Club provides golf-course views for portions of Montebello but should be considered separately from the community itself. Montebello ownership does not include golf privileges, allowing residents to enjoy the attractive golf setting without being required to support a golf membership. Buyers interested in private golf can independently explore membership opportunities at area clubs based on their preferences and current availability.

Montebello’s central location further expands the lifestyle available to residents. Downtown Naples, Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, arts and entertainment, parks and golf are all readily accessible. For buyers who want a small gated luxury neighborhood with substantial private homes but little shared amenity infrastructure, that combination can be one of Montebello’s greatest advantages.
