Naples
A Gulf-front city in Collier County where the beach, the pier and a compact downtown set the daily rhythm.
Where it is and how it feels
Naples sits directly on the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Collier County. Distances are short, the beachfront runs the length of the city, and the historic pier anchors the shoreline. Residential lots are smaller than in the interior, and much of the housing stock sits within established neighborhoods close to the water.
Growth
Naples brings together beaches, golf, dining, culture and a residential offering that reaches far beyond downtown. Its market includes condominiums, waterfront homes, gated communities, new construction and luxury properties.
The evolution of Fifth Avenue South, the expansion toward North and East Naples and the Naples 2045 process show a city that keeps refining its development, infrastructure and land use while protecting the identity behind its appeal.
Naples keeps evolving as one of Florida's most recognized residential markets.
