Relocating to Naples — Choosing a New Home & a New Lifestyle
Moving to Naples isn’t just a change of address, it’s an upgrade to a coastal, resort-style way of living. It is no surprise that last year it was named the #1 Best Place to Live in America.

In the past five years, people have been flocking to Naples, much like the birds do. The rapid growth is due to many factors. Let’s break a few down. First, the year-round sunshine and warm weather is what dreams are made of. No seasonal depression here! Then, our beaches set us apart from other cities in Florida because of the white sand and warm, turquoise Gulf water. There is a low crime rate in Naples and the neighborhoods are safe and clean. People take immense pride in the area and that is reflected in how people take care of the land around them. Lastly, Naples has truly become a bustling spot for people of all ages, not just retirees. You will now find ample activities for adults, children, and retirees alike.
Speaking of neighborhoods, Naples’ unique approach to living means that there is something for every buyer. Each community offers its own culture, amenities, and overall vibe. Examples of lifestyle preference people look for include golf-centric living, walkable coastal luxury, nature-forward communities, family-friendly neighborhoods, an onsite social club, and resort-style amenities. With so many options, it can feel overwhelming to decide what is the right fit for you. That’s where we step in and play a vital role in matching clients with the lifestyle they’re seeking. Once we determine what your dream lifestyle consists of, we can help you find a place to call home.
There are a few neighborhoods that steal the show in Naples, and many of our clients end up in one of the five. First is Pelican Bay, an older community with three miles of private beaches with private beach facilities and dining. This is an incredibly rare amenity to find in Naples which is why many of our clients choose Pelican Bay. They also have an active tennis program and miles of nature trails to explore. Two other popular neighborhoods are Park Shore and the Moorings which neighbor each other. These two non-gated communities are centrally located and close to some of Naples’ best shopping and dining. Both communities offer private beach parking but no private beachfront. For those that feel like every day is a vacation, Olde Naples is the place to be. From the historic charm to the vibrant nightlife to the laid back walkability, this area feels like quintessential Naples. Lastly, a few notable golf communities include Tiburón, Grey Oaks, and Bay Colony. Many people, especially retirees, move to Naples solely for the great golf so these communities can be a great fit. Once you make the move, here’s what you can expect day-to-day in Naples. For families, you will have access to the Collier County Public Schools system which ranks sixth in Florida and is the highest-performing district in Southwest Florida. Beyond that, many people choose to participate in one of many outdoor activities to take advantage of the great weather. From pickleball to tennis to golf, there are so many opportunities to get outside and move. Adults that appreciate the arts enjoy spending time at The Baker Museum, Artis–Naples, the Naples Players, Gulfshore Opera, and more. From fitness classes to waterfront dining to resident clubs, there is no shortage of ways to fill your day. With so many ways to meet people and get involved, newcomers quickly assimilate and feel part of the community.
Practicality always comes into play when considering relocation. While the real estate market can seem daunting at first, we are here to guide you through it seamlessly. With no state income tax and the homestead exemption, there are many tax benefits to calling Naples home. In terms of accessibility, the RSW airport is undergoing a massive expansion project and will soon offer even more direct flights to destinations around the world. For private air travel, the Naples airport offers the ultimate convenience of landing closer to home. There are many other factors to consider and our agents can help you do just that. With their deep local knowledge and decades of experience, they have seen it all and conquered it all.
