Caymas

Caymas sits east of Collier Boulevard, a couple of miles south of I-75, with Forest Glen adjoining to the north. It's gated, and there's one kind of housing in it: detached houses, no condominiums, no coach homes, no shared walls anywhere in the community. Stock Development is the developer, and the builders are Stock Luxury Homes, Stock Custom Homes and Pulte Homes. The recorded boundary runs to about 768 acres.

The community is also part-built, and that should outweigh everything else in a decision here. About 190 houses were finished by the middle of 2026, against 457 lots already platted and laid out. Most of what has been laid out holds no house. Buying here means buying into a working site, with lots being cleared, trucks on the internal roads and a frame going up two doors down. Noise and construction traffic come with that, for as long as the work lasts.

How much of Caymas is actually built?

About 190 houses, the earliest of them finished in 2023. The other figure attached to this community counts lots rather than roofs: 457 are platted, recorded and ready to build on. A platted lot is not a house, and any size quoted for Caymas is worth testing against that distinction.

Sales run out of 9385 Caymas Terrace, and building is still going on. Drive the unfinished part as well as the finished street, because a tour tends to show the finished one.

What can a buyer use at Caymas?

The sports park, and that's the whole of it. Caymas's own website spells out what that means: "With the opening of The Sports Park, residents are already enjoying 8 pickleball courts, 6 tennis courts, dog parks, a pro shop, and sports gathering space."

There is a racquet sports professional. The courts and the pro shop are the finished, in-use part of the community, so go and see them for yourself rather than taking them on trust. If racquet sports aren't what draws you here, look hard at what's standing before committing to it.

What are the houses like at Caymas?

Houses measure about 2350 to about 4000 square feet and hold 3 to 5 bedrooms, every one of them on its own lot. If a townhouse or a condominium is what you want, Caymas hasn't got one. Homesites come in five widths: 52, 62, 76, 90 and 100-plus feet, and 97 of them are the narrowest 52-foot width. The 62 and 76-foot homesites were released when the community launched, and the 90-foot width followed in 2024.

Ask which width a house sits on before asking much else about the lot, because the answer does two jobs. It tells you how much room sits between the house and its neighbors. It also decides that home's share of the community's annual charges, so the charge follows the width of the ground rather than the size of the building.

Prices paid here start around $1.1 million and reach around $3 million.

Is Caymas gated, and what is private?

Yes. The gate stands at the Caymas Street entrance, and everything behind it is privately held. Every road, every lake and every common tract inside the boundary is privately owned, and no land inside belongs to Collier County or to any other government body. The streets, the water and the common ground are therefore the community's to keep up, not the county's.

What should you pin down before you buy at Caymas?

Four things to get straight in advance:

• Which of the five homesite widths the house sits on, since the width sets what the home is charged each year.
• Every charge that attaches to the house, and what each one pays for.
• The leasing rules and the pet policy, which live in the recorded documents rather than in sales material.
• What is planned for the empty lots nearest the house, and how long the work beside it runs.

The oldest houses in Caymas date from 2023, so the whole history of the place is shorter than a mortgage term. About 190 of them stand on 457 platted lots, with one set of courts open behind the gate. The rest is platted ground with nothing standing on it.
