Naples is the crown jewel of Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast — an upscale, beautifully kept city known for white-sand beaches, world-class golf, and a refined, walkable downtown. Below is what you'll want to know before you move, and how the Desk can connect you — free — to a vetted agent who knows the city block by block.
Naples consistently ranks among the most desirable places to live in the United States — and for international and luxury buyers, it's one of Florida's most coveted addresses. Here's what to weigh before you make the move.
Consistently ranked among the best places to live in America, Naples pairs white-sand Gulf beaches with a refined downtown of fine dining, galleries, and boutiques.
With more golf holes per capita than almost anywhere and deep-water access to the Gulf, Naples is a haven for golfers and boaters year-round.
Low crime and A-rated schools make Naples a confident choice for families and retirees alike, with healthcare and amenities to match.
Naples draws affluent buyers from across the U.S., Latin America, and Europe — a global community where you won't feel like an outsider.
Old Naples and Port Royal anchor the luxury waterfront, while Pelican Bay, Park Shore, and Aqualane Shores offer beachside high-rises and estates. Inland, master-planned communities like Pelican Marsh, Grey Oaks, and the gated golf neighborhoods east of town give families more space and newer construction at a range of price points.
Naples runs about 20% above the U.S. average, driven mostly by housing — the median home price is around $850,000, though condos and inland communities offer more attainable options.
Yes — Naples has A-rated schools, low crime, and excellent healthcare, which is why it's popular with both families and one of the highest concentrations of retirees in the country.
Most of the city is within about 10 minutes of a Gulf beach, and Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) in Fort Myers is roughly a 45-minute drive.
