Review of Naples, Florida


Very pretty place to live
Star Rating - 9/9/2009
Naples gets a lot of negative reviews by people who live in Southwest FL or have visited the area. In my opinion, sometimes it's because they can't afford to live there or find a job. I'm not being snobby, because I can't afford to live here either! lol However, I worked in Naples and rented a home on the Naples/Bonita line for many years, and it's very safe & clean. I would not recommend moving to Naples unless you already have a secure job and enough money to support yourself, since the opportunities are very limited. However, no matter what people write about the uppity & arrogant residents (which is completely true) you can always find bad & nice people wherever you go and Naples is no exception. There are plenty of hard-working middle class people living in Naples, especially in Golden Gate Estates & Golden Gate City. Just because you don't see them dining at the overpriced restaurants and designer shops or driving around in new luxury vehicles, this well-deserved stereotype doesn't represent the entire community.

I really appreciate your honesty. I think that no matter where you live you will find people who are snobby. Trust me, I live near Boston Ma and there are very few friendly people anywhere in MA. They are a tough crowd to get to know. I was in Naples for 3 months this past year and I met so many nice people. I am not wealthy at all but, I look foward to a beautiful community with clean streets and year round sunshine. Naples, here I come!!

Not all of the Port Royal community is snobby.
