Outdoor Living in Naples: the local picture

Naples grew from a small beach town platted in the 1880s into the heart of Southwest Florida luxury, and its housing stock shows every era of that growth. Older ranch homes near the Design District sit minutes from brand new coastal contemporary construction, so remodels here range from full midcentury overhauls to finish level updates in newer builds. Coastal flood zones and modern wind code shape what a permit requires, especially close to the Gulf. Permitting inside the city runs through the Naples building department rather than Collier County, and coastal zones bring flood elevation rules into play for major work. Many of the projects we coordinate here are full renovations of homes from the 1970s through the 1990s that owners bought for the location and intend to bring up to a modern luxury standard.

Per American Community Survey data the median home in Naples was built around 1982, which makes the typical house about 44 years old. The market covers about 18,720 homes, and the median value sits near $1,254,200. About 40 percent of Naples homes are seasonal or occasional use residences, so much of the work here is planned around owners who are away for part of the year. Those numbers are the starting point for how we plan outdoor living projects in Naples. Figures are U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey estimates.
