Lely at a glance

Lely is a residential area in East Naples off US 41, with canals and single-family homes, some dating to the 1960s and 1970s. The U.S. Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimates about 3,548 residents in Lely. The median year of construction is about 1984, so many homes were built before Florida's post-2002 hurricane building-code updates. Canal-front homes in Lely sit at low elevation, where high tides and storm water can push under doors and into ground-level rooms. Older housing in Lely often has aging supply lines, water heaters, and roofs that have been through several storms.

Why Lely's housing stock matters here

Median year built: 1984. That matters because homes built before 2002 predate the statewide Florida Building Code and its stronger wind provisions. Population: about 3,548 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey estimate). The median age in Lely is about 67 (the Census Bureau's 2018–2022 American Community Survey). We can send photos and paperwork to a family member or manager who helps with the claim. About 40% of units are in buildings with 10 or more units, so wind-driven rain gets in around sliders and windows on upper floors. Roughly 29% of housing units are held for seasonal or recreational use; storm damage is often found days later by a neighbor or manager.
