Naples has an international flavor during season, which

increases our overall appeal. We are sophisticated, generous

with time, talent and treasure. We have thirteen distinct

neighborhoods and all residents are fiercely proud of where

they live. The weather contributes to our own satisfaction

and it’s also what brings visitors from all over the world.

Outside dining and people watching is great sport in Old

Naples and along 5th Avenue. Our collection of world class

shopping adds to and enhances our brand. Naples is well

known for its exceptional medical care and many of our

I would be remiss if I didn’t talk about the food; our

restaurants are nothing short of divine. It’s not just that we

have so many choices, it’s that the quality is five-star and

represents the tastes of people from all over the world. Local

chefs provide a dining experience that is appealing to the eye,

and delights the discriminating consumer. Healthy living is

not just what we talk about but what people do and our parks

play an important part. Parks are well suited to our residents

and visitors. Play areas for children and dogs, community

activities, performances, music festivals and they are also just

a great places to sit and enjoy time and space. The “Naples

Brand,” like a great recipe has many ingredients, all different

but when blended together bring forth a creation that is

world class. A place that we are proud to call home; Naples.
