Naples was once regarded as a winter get-away for the well to do and famous. Today, it is one of the most beautiful small cities in the country. Situated in the southwest corner of Florida (Collier County) right along the Gulf of Mexico, it has matured over the last decade. Over that span of time, Collier County population has grown 65%. This burgeoning gem is a wonderful place to raise a Family or retire.

Natural beauty abounds: Palm trees, the Gulf of Mexico, inland waterways, waterfalls, sunshine, and white, sandy beaches all figure into the equation for what has become a beautiful city. Anyone who relocates to Naples will be able to appreciate this magnificent natural beauty. No longer is Naples considered a sleepy little beach community.

The City of Naples and its people have done a wonderful job of preserving the natural beauty while they've developed a charming environment to work and play in. In addition to being beautiful, Naples offers so much to do. Naples is the only city to have two Ritz Carlton resorts within its boundaries: Naples has the Ritz Carlton Naples located along the beach and the Ritz Carlton Naples Golf Resort located at the Tiburon Golf Club.
