Nestled among the beautiful Ten Thousand Islands just 30 minutes East of Naples Florida and just 89 miles west of Miami is an Island Paradise called Marco Island.. The Mackle Brothers, or the Deltona Corporation envisioned this pristine island as an opportunity to develop this into a beautiful community in early 1965 .Today in an area of approx 6 miles by 8 miles there is that thriving community with Residential homes,condos, hotels, commercial businesses, time shares and many rental opportunities.Marco Islands Real Estate market is unique and different from most other Southwest Florida Real Estate Markets. The residents who reside on this lovely island pride themselves in offering a friendly, self contained community with property values that start for inland residential homes in the $400,000.’s to the over 358 residential waterfront listings currently on the market as of Aug 1,2005. There are approx. 29 waterfront homes under 1 million dollars, 210 waterfront homes from 1 million to the 2 million dollar price range and some 132 over 2 million dollars. The most expensive home currently listed on Marco Island is for $16,500,000. The Condo market is in great demand as new buildings are being completed and resales are plentiful on the pristine beachfront as well as smaller inland units for the retirees. The second home buyer wants a place they can come to with little worry about the upkeep they can come and go by just locking their doors and feel that their property is being taken care of during their time away. Marco Island is a well rounded community with the average age being between 47 and 56 years of age, Therefore this area is attracting a great deal of Baby Boomers, Anne Says to the area as well as the second home retirees to the area. We have many young families with children that attend Tommy Barfield elementary school and Middle school as well as high school age students that attend high school in the Naples area.
