I am looking at homes in Valencia Lakes. Anyone on here live there? Nice neighborhood?

I heard through the grapevine that Naples, Florida is going to be raising their taxes, is this true?

Thanks,
Kristin

This is a nice area. There are not many businesses around so I would consider where you will be working. The commute can be a killer.

The politicians have made a preliminary decision to keep the budget about the same as last year in order to keep the same level of services. This will mean an increase in property taxes, since property values have declined, in order to bring in the same amount of revenue.

Valencia Lakes is not in Naples, but out in Collier county.

That is true, it is in unincorporated Collier County. It uses the Naples post office and is considered to be "Naples".

I know it is a distance to drive. That is ok. It is near the school and I have teenage daughters that will be attending it. I just wanted to know if it was safe and basically crime free area. I am sure most of our time will be used up attending stuff at school.
By the way, my husband and I are both retired...so no need to be near work. Although he likes the idea of a golf course!
