Naples Neighborhoods & Communities
Your guide to the best neighborhoods in Naples, Florida starts here. The area’s neighborhoods fall into five kinds of place: the walkable Gulf and bay neighborhoods around Old Naples, the high-rise coast of Pelican Bay and North Naples, private golf and country club communities, estate neighborhoods on acre lots, and the newer communities of East Naples and Marco Island. In 2026, median prices ran from about $560,000 for condominiums in the Vineyards to more than $17 million for homes in Port Royal.
Old Naples and the Central Coast
The oldest part of Naples runs along the Gulf and Naples Bay from Gordon Drive to Clam Pass. Old Naples and Aqualane Shores put you within walking distance of Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South, while Port Royal and Royal Harbor are built around deep-water canals off Naples Bay, with Port Royal’s routes to the Gulf free of bridges. Farther north, The Moorings, Park Shore and Coquina Sands mix Gulf-front condominium towers with single-family streets. This is where Naples prices peak, and where Naples waterfront homes and beachfront condos concentrate.

Historic streets, gulf beaches and Fifth Avenue South dining. Cottages and new estates sit within walking distance of the pier and Third Street.

Golf and Country Club Communities
Naples is known for its private golf communities, and most of them sit inland of US 41. Grey Oaks, Quail West and Mediterra lead on price, while Vineyards, Wyndemere and Kensington offer club life at lower entry points. Membership works differently in each: in some communities golf comes bundled with every home, in others it is optional or by invitation, and each guide explains the club structure.
