Old Naples & Port Royal homes & custom builds

Living in Old Naples & Port Royal

34102 is the heart of historic Naples. Old Naples runs from the Gulf beaches to Naples Bay, with walkable streets lined by cottages, new coastal homes and boutique condos a few blocks from Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. To the south, Port Royal and Aqualane Shores offer canal and bay-front estates with direct boat access to the Gulf.

Buyers here want to walk to dinner, the beach and the Naples Pier, or to keep a yacht behind the house. Inventory is tight, older homes on prime lots are often sold for their land, and new construction sets the top of the market.

What to know before you build here

• Many lots are bought to tear down and rebuild, so lot size, frontage and seawall condition drive value.
• FEMA flood elevation rules set the first-floor height for new homes close to the water.
• City of Naples permitting and design standards apply; an architect who has permitted in the city saves months.
• Seawall, dock and lift work on canal lots needs its own permits and an experienced marine contractor.
