Paradise with great schools

If you can afford it, Naples is paradise. Great schools, lots to do, low crime, lots of sun and absolutely gorgeous landscaping in every part of city (thanks to the abundance of ground water to irrigate during the dry winter season). Traffic can be heavy in winter during rush hour, but I think the roads are far better planned here than most cities. Collier county planners have done a great job keeping up with projected population growth. Downtown Naples is safe and beautiful with a thick canopy of tropical trees and there is plenty of free beach access and lots of bike paths. The only drawback I guess is the hot rainy season and the high cost of living. Houses are extremely high, averaging about $450,000 for your basic 3 bedroom 2 bath but neighborhoods are very nice, gated, and have all the amenities. You get what you pay for I guess. Also, the pay is a little low here for it to be so expensive. That may change in the future.
