About Naples
Naples anchors Collier County's Gulf Coast as a city defined by its beaches, boating culture, and a compact, walkable downtown centered on Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. Old Naples retains cottage-style and Old Florida architecture near the historic Naples Pier, while Park Shore and Seagate offer mid-century and contemporary homes along protected waterways leading to the Gulf. The Moorings and Coquina Sands provide established, tree-lined streets close to the beach, and Lake Park and River Park East bring a more residential, neighborhood feel near downtown. Golf Drive Estates and Ridgeview Lakes add variety with single-family housing stock inland from the coast. The city's Redevelopment Area continues to see reinvestment near the urban core. Naples draws retirees, seasonal residents, and boating enthusiasts, alongside families and professionals seeking proximity to top-tier dining, galleries, and Gulf access year-round.
