Nancy and Jim Whiteman, longtime Naples’ residents, were very happy with their current home and their current lifestyle. But upon learning about Moorings Park Grande Lake, Naples’ newest Life Plan (CCRC) community, they decided to attend an informational luncheon about the project. It was a decision that changed their lives.
Mr. & Mrs. Whiteman
“We’ve lived in Naples for 15 years and have followed Moorings Park pretty much all that time,” said Nancy. “It was out of curiosity that I made the reservation to attend the informational luncheon at Moorings Park Grande Lake and sort of dragged Jim along. I’m glad I did.”
“I wasn’t ready to move. I thought I was too young,” said Jim. “But, to be honest, we were blown away by the whole concept, the amenities, everything about it.”
Perfect Location
Moorings Park Grande Lake is located south of Golden Gate Parkway, between Airport-Pulling and Livingston roads, and shares an entrance with Naples Grande Golf Club. Jim describes the location as “simply beautiful.”
Added Nancy, “We love the location which is so close to downtown Naples. We also love to golf and Grande Lake is being developed on the property adjacent to the Naples Grande Golf Club, with the residences overlooking a large lake and the Naples Grande golf course.”
Spectacular Architecture
Moorings Park Grande Lake is being developed by Moorings Park in partnership with esteemed luxury custom homebuilder and developer, London Bay Homes, long known for its award-winning architectural design and attention to detail. It was a partnership that Jim Whiteman could not ignore.
“I couldn’t believe the architecture,” stated Jim. “It’s like they’re building a country club. I

Peace-of-Mind
It’s the planning for their future needs that prompted the Whitemans to be one of the early buyers in Moorings Park Grande Lake.
“One of the reasons we are doing this is we want to take this burden off our children. We also want to make our own decisions. We don’t want to get in the situation where they’re taking care of us long distance. We don’t want to leave Naples. We don’t want to go back up north. We love it here. It’s important we stay here. Moorings Park Grande Lake helps us do just that. We feel very grateful,” she said.
Jim added, “If we have to move somewhere, this is the only place to go. We just feel it’s going to be a great place for us – and our future. And we know we’ll meet a whole new group of great friends.”
