Naples: Florida's Paradise Ideal Location For Luxury Home Buyers

Considered by many to be the crown jewel of Southwest Florida, Naples features a subtropical climate with soft breezes from the Gulf of Mexico, natural beach beauty, and unparalleled flora and fauna. In addition, the City of Naples is known for its world-class shopping, exceptional dining opportunities, and abundance of challenging golf courses. Voted by Money Magazine as one of the best places to live in America, Naples is known for its Mediterranean climate with sultry summers and dry tempered winters.

Naples, Marco Island and the western portion of the Everglades makes up Southwest Florida's Collier County – also appropriately known as the Paradise Coast. While the county is the largest in the state of Florida, more than 80 percent of its land is preserved as park and nature preserve land. Nearby Everglades National Park supports vast wildlife and offers true adventure for outdoor enthusiasts. The sugar white sandy beaches stretch from Barefoot Beach Preserve at the northern tip of Collier County, throughout the city of Naples, along the four miles of Marco Island's crescent shoreline, and into the deserted Ten Thousand Island region of the Everglades.

Back in Naples, a sophisticated enclave supports fine art, symphonic concerts and high-end shopping.
