This is an exciting time to be considering a move to downtown Naples Florida.

With so much increasing development and growth happening all around us, downtown Naples is, now more than ever, a desired place to call home. 

Exploring Downtown Living in Naples is made easier as I will help you discover the best downtown communities where you can walk to the beach.

PORT ROYAL

The Port Royal neighborhood is just south of 3rd Street.  The homes meander through large canal waterways that lead to the Gulf of Mexico. 

Many properties in Port Royal are located right on the beach. 

A neighborhood that prides itself on its prime boating, bird watching, and natural conservation efforts, you will find worlds to explore both indoors and out, from the eye pleasing walking paths, to the historic but gorgeously landscaped streets along Port Royal’s widely known and esteemed streets.

AQUALANE SHORES

Aqualane Shores is a single family waterfront community in the City of Naples located between Port Royal and Olde Naples. 

It has a deep water canals and closeness to the historic Third Street and Fifth Avenue Shopping Districts that make it one of the most desirable waterfront locations in Naples. 

Exploration of the area’s best restaurants and the Gulf of Mexico beach front is another great feature of this downtown Naples community. 

The charm and waterfront location of Aqualane Shores draws boaters and those looking for homes within walking distance of Third Street South and the Naples beachfront. 

Many homes for sale in Aqualane Shores have an unrestricted access to the Gulf of Mexico.  Boaters prefer Aqualane Shores because it accommodates larger power boats and sailboats. 

No bridges across canals in Aqualane Shores mean that taller boats can be docked behind canal facing homes. 

Additionally, the waterways in Aqualane Shores are dredged to depths that accommodate larger vessels.  Aqualane Shores is popularly referred to as the “Friendliest Neighborhood in Naples.”

OLDE NAPLES

Olde Naples is the downtown section of the City of Naples where you can find world class restaurants and spectacular shopping. 

It is a residential area between Naples white sand beaches and the Naples Bay.

The Olde Naples neighborhood oozes with charm and those who visit the Olde Naples area are blown over by how beautiful and charming it is. 

While Olde Naples is more residential, it is also the downtown of the Naples area, where City Hall is located, along with shopping and dining districts. 

There are always numerous small town activities and fun events to choose from at any time of year.  Olde Naples is a major destination spot for residents in the area. 

The neighborhood takes up just two square miles, but it has virtually any style of attractive housing. 

Ranging from 400 sq. ft. one bedroom condos, to grand estate homes on the beach, to very small wood frame homes built in the 1930s. 

There is nearly triple the number of condo homes than single family homes in Olde Naples.  But single family homes take up triple the land area.  Olde Naples is a fun and cool place to reside.

MOORINGS

Life at The Moorings is pretty fun.  Neighbors getting together at traditional community-wide events, to say the Annual Boat Parade, 4th of July Champagne Breakfast, ice cream socials, fishing derbies and windsurfing regattas is fun is an understatement, it’s much more. 

New events are welcomed each year (as various neighbors explore ideas), and there’s always the impromptu outing when a fellow homeowner boats by your backyard and invites you aboard for a sunset cruise. 

With a quiet location just minutes from downtown Naples, The Moorings combines the pleasure of a short drive or walk to shopping and dining with amazing and breathtaking water views and relaxing bayside activities at the back door of your home.

It is close to areas populated with top rated schools, famous downtown Naples and the beautiful white sand beaches of Lowdermilk Beach Park. 

It is often referred to as a sister community to Olde Naples.  With its winding streets lined with ficus, palm and banyan trees, this Naples waterfront neighborhood is a dream to many wishing to live in beautiful Naples, Florida.

The community is situated amongst the most highly sought after areas in all of southwest Florida and is central to everything.
