Quality Living
Naples is known as The Crown Jewel of Southwest Florida - nestled on the sun drenched white sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. World class shopping, dining and abundant challenging golf courses ranks it in the Top 10 of Best small places to live in America. It is also within a very close distance to tranquil islands and the unspoiled tropical wilderness of The Everglades.
Endless Choices
Property and homes range from affordable to very expensive, with the most expensive real estate being waterfront mansions and condos on the Gulf and coastal waterways. Properties to the east of Tamiami Trail (US41) tend to be less expensive as buildable land is plentiful and many new residential communities recently completed offer prospective buyers a choice of single family homes, condos, villas and golf course properties.
Brief History
The area was first inhabited by the Caloosa Indians, and the first settlers, Roger Gordon and Joe Wiggins, arrived the Naples area in the late 1860's. Over time the area's sunny days and sugar-white beaches, mild climate and abundant wildlife became more well known and it was subsequently likened to Naples in Italy and so the city got its name. Naples quickly gained a reputation as a winter resort and the local social life included visits by celebrities such as Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, Greta Garbo and Gary Cooper.
