Ave Maria Launches Real Stories Campaign
The Ave Maria Real Stories Campaign launched this month and invites us to view the authentic voices of Ave Maria residents, celebrating their journeys and the vibrant community they’ve chosen to call home. The Campaign spotlights real families and individuals who share their reasons for loving life in Ave Maria, one of Collier County’s fastest-growing developments and top-rated master planned communities. Their stories and testimonials are used in advertisements in print and radio as well as television commercials.
The families and individuals featured in Real Stories reflect the diverse and welcoming spirit of Ave Maria. The town offers active adult communities, as well as several family-friendly neighborhoods, making it the perfect fit for retirees, growing families, and single professionals alike. Each resident shared their unique story of discovering Ave Maria, and why they
decided to settle here. From Juan and Donna’s multigenerational family relocating from the east coast of Florida to Scott and Colleen who initially came to Ave for relaxation and an escape from Maryland winters but found themselves opening a second location of Ledo Pizza, their stories voice the vast experiences that make Ave Maria unique.
Winston & Nicole, along with Barbara and Jim, also share their experiences that reflect how Ave Maria welcomes families, couples and individuals to the community. Winston & Nicole wanted a change of pace in a community that would be good for their children. Ave Maria offered them the opportunity to rest and relax while spending quality family time together at the water park, Town Center festivals or taking a bike ride. Barbara moved to Ave Maria with her husband. They wanted to stay active, and he loved to golf. After his passing, she found her true community: a women’s golf league which gets together weekly for fun on the green and happy hours. Jim moved to Ave Maria from Minnesota without knowing anyone but quickly found his groove by attending events and frequenting local businesses.
With its diverse calendar of events, wide-ranging amenities, and genuine connections that residents form, it’s clear Ave Maria is more than just a place to live – it’s a “Big Kind of Small Town.” The Real Stories Campaign is an authentic reflection of Ave Maria’s growing population and diverse residents. Experience their stories, then imagine how your unique story could unfold in Ave Maria!
