Walkability is treasured in Olde Naples, and there are many desirable places to visit. The iconic Naples Pier, built in 1888, is the oldest structure in Naples, and just down the street is city’s oldest home, the historic Palm Cottage, constructed by Walter Haldeman, one of Naples’ founding residents, in 1895. With rich history and a vibrant downtown, Olde Naples is the beautiful blend of old and new.
Containing the city’s downtown historic district, Olde Naples is the perfect blend of city and beach. Coconut palms, banyan trees, and tropical flowers line shopping promenades while art galleries and theatres offer a different kind of culture.

Outdoor living in the sunshine with plenty of boutique shopping.
With shopping on Fifth Avenue and Third Street, and with restaurants, parks, museums, and the beach an easy stroll (or bike ride) away, residents love getting outside in the sunshine. In high season, every weekend is full of art shows, outdoor concerts and the famous Saturday farmer’s market, while summer months turn the town into a peaceful getaway.

Unexpected Appeal
Quieter nights with active mornings.
With many of the bars and restaurants closing at midnight, Olde Naples isn’t the place to come for all-night raves. Instead of nursing hangovers, residents can put their mornings to good use, meeting friends for tennis, bocce, or basketball at Cambier Park, where kids will also love the playground.

In charming Olde Naples, historic beach cottages are tucked amongst elegant mansions and downtown condos, making the neighborhood elegant but unpretentious. Strict building codes limit the beachfront residences in Olde Naples to single family homes, helping keep the beaches pristine.
