Situated on the southwest corner of the Florida
peninsula, Naples is home to some of the most
luxurious real estate in the world. It is also
known as an exclusive holiday destination due
to its world class shopping, dining, abundant
championship golf courses, and beautiful white
sand beaches.
Naples' warm winter months attracts visitors
from America’s northern states, “snowbirds”
wishing to escape the cold winters. During these
months the population nearly doubles, and the
local economy experiences a strong positive
seasonal factor. This increase in part-time
residents in addition to the increase in tourism
leads to a sharp increase in employment and
sales figures, most notably in the retail, service,
and hospitality sectors.
In recent years many part-time residents have
made Naples their permanent home, and there
has been a continual increase in families relocating
to the area. This has spurred significant business
growth in Collier County, with the area having
one of the highest rates of job creation and
the lowest unemployment rates in the State of
Florida. The economy in Naples continues to
remain strong with high average wages and the
number of millionaires per capita exceeding
those of any other area in the United States.
The construction industry in Collier County
is booming, with the development of numerous
residential communities, retail outlets, industrial
parks and office space. There are currently
24 industrial parks located in the area with
plans for continual development to accommodate
the ever growing population and work force.
With its pristine neighborhoods, multi-million
dollar homes, modern shopping & recreational
facilities and exquisite shoreline, Naples will
remain a top destination for both tourists and
those wishing to take advantage of the wonderful
lifestyle it has to offer on a more permanent
basis.
