Living in Old Naples FL: Neighborhood Guide to Old Naples, Florida 34102
Old Naples is the original heart of Naples, Florida: a grid of shaded streets between the Gulf of Mexico and Naples Bay where you can walk to the beach in the morning, browse 5th Avenue South at lunch and watch the sunset from the end of your street. If you are thinking about moving to Old Naples FL, buying a seasonal condo or building a new home, this guide covers what daily life is like, what homes cost today and what to check before you buy.
Where Is Old Naples?
Old Naples sits in ZIP code 34102 inside the City of Naples in Collier County. The City of Naples describes it as running north from the Third Street South shopping district to the former Naples Beach Hotel (now Naples Beach Club, A Four Seasons Resort) and west from US 41 to the beach. In everyday use, buyers and agents often apply the name more widely, from about South Golf Drive south toward Aqualane Shores and Port Royal. You will also see it spelled "Olde Naples," which is how the area is recorded in the MLS.
What Daily Life Is Like in Old Naples
- The beach is your backyard. The east-west avenues run to the Gulf with public beach access at the street ends, so most residents walk or bike to the sand. See our Naples Pier and beach guide.
- Two walkable downtowns. 3rd Street South is the historic village with courtyard restaurants and a Saturday farmers market; 5th Avenue South is the main street, with galleries, boutiques, Gulfshore Playhouse and Evening on Fifth on select Thursday nights.
- Dining you can walk to. Dozens of restaurants sit within a few blocks of most Old Naples homes. Start with our Old Naples restaurants guide.
- History on every block. Historic Palm Cottage, built in 1895 on 12th Avenue South, is the oldest home in Naples and is open for tours through the Naples Historical Society.
- Parks, tennis and the bay. Cambier Park hosts concerts and art shows, and the Naples City Dock and Crayton Cove are minutes away by golf cart.
