With its warm weather and welcoming beaches it would be easy to think of East Naples as mostly a vacation destination for snowbirds, but locals will quickly tell you that this south Florida community offers so many amenities and natural wonders that year-round living is the way to go. “There’s a rich culture in East Naples as, along with great restaurants and bars, there's a large international presence with people from all over the world,” says Jon Hunt, waterfront specialist with Coldwell Banker Naples. “When it's cold and snowy elsewhere, it's warm and tropical here.”

Varied housing under the shade of palm trees
Variety is the name of the game for East Naples’ housing. Residences range from newly completed waterfront condos to colorful ranch-style builds from the 1970s. Oceanside houses often come with boat docks. Gated communities like the one found at Foxfire Golf & Country Club present a different opportunity for homebuyers. Manicured lawns are a common sight, and homes often sit under the shade of bright green palm trees. Housing prices are just as varied as the styles. Multifamily townhouses begin pricing for $450,000, while larger Spanish Revivals with tiled roofs top $1.5 million. Residences near Naples Airport may experience air pollution, though aircraft size is limited.

Fun under the sun
The abundance of sunshine also brings an abundance of outdoor recreation. Residents of East Naples are never far from golf courses, pickleball courts or the sandy beaches of the Gulf of Mexico. “Everyone here is either a boater, a fisher or a golfer,” Hunt says. The area has many fishing opportunities, including guided trips like those at Naples Fishing Charters. Naples Pier used to jet out far into the water and offer Catamaran tours, but the structure was severely damaged following Hurricane Ian in 2022. However, plans to restore it are underway. Members of the Windstar Naples Bay Country Club can compete on an 18-hole golf course surrounded by scenic ocean views. The course was distinctly selected as a “Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” in 1998. And for classic family fun, residents can head to East Naples Community Park to play on the basketball courts and soccer fields.

A Pickleball mecca
East Naples has quietly made its name as the center of one of America’s fastest-growing sports. Visitors travel from long distances to attend the Annual Minto US Open Pickleball Championship, which is held in East Naples Community Park. While the event certainly boosts the neighborhood, the large influx of people can be slightly overwhelming at times, says Hunt.

Hurricanes
Hurricane Ian was the costliest hurricane in Florida’s history, and East Naples was hit directly. According to data from the National Weather Service, the Category 5 storm cost the city of Naples an estimated $989 million. The road to recovery has been long, but numerous ongoing efforts reflect the area's resiliency. “Naples has made a strong comeback,” says Hunt. “We are seeing newer, higher-end construction coming in.”
