Can you describe how Naples looks and feels for a person that has never lived here?

Do residents maintain their homes and lawns? Are there dramatic differences between different neighborhoods or zip codes? Is there a dominant architecture throughout the city?

Naples is a very clean area with a super quality of life. Since Naples is in a subtropical environment there is lush landscaping.
Residents take pride of ownership very seriously. Collier County has strict codes and an excellent code enforcement department, which monitors neighborhoods to insure compliance with codes.
In Naples you can find expensive high-rise condominiums along the coast or travel inland about 6 miles and find single family homes on lots ranging in size from 1.14 acres to 5 acres.

Naples is beautiful! Clean, green, 11 miles of white sandy beaches, lots of shopping, movie theaters, great restaurants and has anything you need. It is Paradise! I came here 38 years ago and still love it.
People take great care of their homes and lawns. A lot of different neighborhoods with different architecture.

One word: EXPENSIVE!!! Also rude people and more traffic than NYC. It literally takes you 30 minutes to go 1 mile during season. The beaches are nice though.

Hello Stephan,
Well the areas of Naples, Marco Island, and Bonita Beach have been world renowned as the paradise coast and for good reason! Not only are our white sand beaches spectacular, but the luxurious landscaping throughout Naples is also quite appealing. We really have the most beautifull medians I've ever seen, and I've lived here for 22 years and traveled to most areas of Florida. We really have a mix of architecture here. Everything from Mediteranean to Old Florida(Key West) style, to Bermuda, West Indies, as well as Spanish and a little French Colonial!

Sterile; an endless succession of look-alike shopping plazas. My mother lives there. It's clean and sunny but truly soul-less

As a newer resident (last for years) the best way to describe Naples is , it is like waking up in Paradise every day. Naples is broken up into several different communities, that were developed around golf courses or boating communities. There is a community for everyone, accoriding to individual tastes. Lawn are usually maintained by community associations which are taken care of by fees. The predominant architecture is the typical Florida style concrete block and finished with stucko. They keep the house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter . this theme is carried out through the city.
