About Ave Maria

Ave Maria is a planned community in Collier County, founded in 2005 by Ave Maria Development, a partnership involving Barron Collier Companies and the Ave Maria Foundation. It is built around Ave Maria University and a deliberately designed town center, giving it a very different feel from older Florida towns. The community also sits near wetlands and open land, with birds, trails, schools, shops, and newer subdivisions all part of the setting. Ave Maria feels planned, Catholic-influenced, and unusually self-contained.
