Desirable Ambiance
Naples truly is a little bit of paradise. Every corner of our sanctuary holds an image of tropical bliss, gently swaying palm trees and technicolor sunsets to landscaped communities and sparkling waterways. Naples' plentiful sunshine and fresh air lends an ideal ambiance of year-round living.

A Growing Tradition
As on of the fastest growing metropolitan statistical area, Naples/Collier County is home to over 200,000 permanent residents. Among the seasonal population are many noted authors, performing artists, sports legends and business leaders.

Not surprisingly, magazines and newspapers like U.S. News & World Report and USA Today named Naples amount one of the "boom towns." The real estate market is of strong interest to this area. Responsible taxing policies and lease incentives, with farsighted entrepreneurs, also may account for recent substantial growth. State and national publications (from Florida Trend to Parade magazines) consistently rank Naples at the top of the list of the fastest-growing areas of the country.

Quality of life and growth is a major benefit to the Naples area. A Growth Management Act provides for cities and countries to draft comprehensive growth plans; a key element in Naples' future planning.

New Neighbors
Naples' real estate market has been identified as one of the main arteries of economic life in the community. The Naples Area Board of Realtors (NABOR) acknowledges the trend among owners to remodel and upgrade. Waterfront and "country" communities also have become popular choices in Naples. The avenues of Old Naples lead west to the white sand and refreshing waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
