Naples Real Estate

Fifth Avenue South has always been a mecca for shoppers around the world. Now things have even gotten better. On Wednesday, August 6, the area opened a sidewalk sale for its customers, which will run through September 30, and provide a greater opportunity for merchants to display their merchandise. It will all be done in good taste, as there are restrictions as to the amount of goods to be put on the street and how they are to be shown. The idea is to make shopping and bargain hunting just that much more fun for shoppers and store-owners alike.

We have known for a long time what a wonderful place Naples and Marco Island is to live, but now it is being nationally recognized as well. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) Magazine has named Naples/Marco Island as one of the top ten places in the country to live and retire in the country. This study was based on the health and lifestyle habits of the people who live in these areas, using twenty plus health-related criteria such as life expectancy, eating and exercise habits, and physicians per capita. According to the article, our area is still “Florida’s last paradise”, and praised it for the beaches and art scene which “are often voted tops in the nation.” It continued by calling Naples/Marco Island “heaven” for golfers, with “the second most golf holes per capita in the country.”
