Naples Florida Beach

Naples Florida Ranked the #1 Best Place to Live in the U.S. – See Why

“Naples residents enjoy a high quality of life, which could explain why so many Americans are eager to relocate to Southwest Florida,” notes U.S. News & World Report. Travel + Leisure Magazine says, “With its pristine nine-mile coastline dotted with white-sand beaches, luxury resorts, fine dining restaurants, and golf courses, Naples is the ultimate Florida beach getaway.”

With so much praise for this coastal town, demand for luxury residences has been climbing consistently. Top priorities for homebuyers include a waterfront lifestyle, proximity to Naples’ 5th Avenue and walkability to premier arts, culinary, and entertainment destinations. It’s a lifestyle choice that reflects a desire for convenience, connectivity, and an elevated way of living. Now, residents who cherish the Naples area on Florida’s Paradise Coast can find exactly what they are looking for, but the opportunity is limited.

Centrally located just blocks from the center of town, Palazzo is a new luxury condominium offering, and the final residences available at Bayfront Naples. This landmark mixed-use community enjoys the distinction of being immediately adjacent to the highly anticipated new Gulfshore Playhouse and is nestled on the waterfront with a private marina and boat docks available to residents.
