A walkable waterfront community with direct access to Fifth Avenue
Downtown Naples is a neighborhood along the lapping shores of the Gulf of Mexico, but the area’s vibrant shopping centers and upscale restaurants have drawn comparisons to a famous Californian street. “When you’re walking around downtown, you feel like you’re on Rodeo Drive,” says Jamie Rossi, sales associate with Downing Frye Realty. “Fifth Avenue is just loaded with very high-end, first-class establishments.” Walkability is a huge factor in the neighborhood, and residents live within a few blocks of the sandy shores of Naples Beach. While many residents are seasonal, those sticking around have access to highly rated schools in the Collier County Public School District. The neighborhood is prone to hurricanes and was directly struck by Hurricane Ian in 2022, but quick recovery efforts brought Naples back up to speed. “We were open two weeks after the storm,” Rossi says. “The response in Collier County was incredible.”

Head to Fifth Avenue for premier shopping and dining
Fifth Avenue South is the neighborhood's crown jewel, and the historic shopping district has captured visitors' attention since it began to develop in the 1920s. “There’s such a variety of cuisines like Italian, Persian, French and American. You can go out every night of the week and have food from a different cuisine,” Rossie says. Conversation flows like the glasses of red and white wine from Caffé Milano, a popular Italian eatery serving pizza and pasta in a modern, upscale setting. Down the street, Ocean Prime serves up fresh catches straight from the Gulf of Mexico. Fine dining is only half the appeal of Fifth Avenue, as the street is noted for its extensive shopping, ranging from local boutiques to high-dollar jewelry stores. Furthermore, artists can flex their creative muscles at numerous art galleries like Art on Fifth Ave Naples, A Procaccini Gallery. Wynn’s Market along Route 41 provides the neighborhood with weekly groceries and fresh produce. The NCH Baker Campus is close to most residents and features an array of medical facilities, including cardiac rehabilitation and orthopedics.
