The Naples Lifestyle

Whether you have a passion for golf, fishing, shelling, shopping, bird watching, wildlife viewing, boating, the beach or the arts, you’ll find plenty of choices in the Naples area. Blessed with a mild winter climate and a summer tempered by Gulf breezes, Naples has grown from a sleepy Florida town in the 1970's to a sophisticated city in the 21st century.

Although upscale shopping and dining opportunities abound in Greater Naples, the Everglades, the Corkscrew Swamp, unspoiled beaches, and a myriad of offshore islands keep our town grounded in a simpler past. Midwestern in feel, Naples is as welcoming and friendly to visitors and new residents as if you were in Ohio or Indiana. In fact, with all the sunshine and warm weather, we are may be even more friendly than the folks up North.

As of 2002, there were 80 housing developments within Collier County, and the number is constantly growing. We're sure that there is a neighborhood (or several) that will fit your family's lifestyle and values. Below is a listing of the general Naples neighborhoods.
