I lived in Naples from 1960 - 2003, and yes its a beautiful city with great schools. The cost of living has crushed the middle class and many have left because of the low wages and high cost of living.
I for one am happy to have found a fellow burger snob! I love a good recommendation for a good burger place! and that Nectar Lab looks like a must-see!! Thank you for making this video, I can't wait to get there this spring!
10-4! I will keep delivering as long as you guys keep watching! Working on cool Christmas one in Naples, I'm sure you guys will love it. Thank you for commenting and Aviation is def on my bucket list, I want to be a pilot just like you!
Remember the people that ate moving here are getting forced out of their states. There's a big difference from moving to a place because you want to,and to because you have to!!! Go back home!!
Luis, you need to watch some videos from Southern Life. He states how bad and awful Naples is. Particularly one called 10 reasons people are moving out of Naples. Just wondering if you see the same thing he's seeing.
I’ve been watching all kinds of Videos about areas in Florida The more I watch. The more confusing FL is an anomaly SouthSide, Panhandle, West, East. Etc... Your Videos make everything in Naples look so Beautiful. I’m not a party girl. I guess I need to visit some areas. Get a feel for the Lifestyle. That’s the only way to know.
Pretty crappy city if you make less than 100k a year, lived here all my life and my biggest regret was staying and building my adult life here. There is actually nothing to do here, and the restaurants are all pretty average, I've had better food in almost every other city in SWFL. Definitely overrated
Thank you! I agree with you. Cultural wasteland. But good for retirement population if you are over 70 and wanna be ( can afford) to be somewhere like waiting to be planted :)) Naples is your choice
We moved from NJ to Naples. I visited this place a long time ago and vowed to live here one day. It is very beautiful and the food is excellent. Lots of growth in all aspects as well.
I will be retiring to Bonita Springs - west of I-75 - in 12 months. I think I will frequent the beaches there, but I will check out the burger joint and cultural spots spotlighted in your video. (I went to Parmesan Pete's last week. Thumbs up.) So glad I found this video.
very informative video! thank you :) we are also from NJ and thinking of moving to Naples. we've been there a few times, the last time being just last week! we were there for 2 weeks and stayed at Staybridge Suites. The company i work for in NYC also has an office there. We love Naples!!
There are lots of jobs in the medical field. Then there are service jobs. Arthrex is the largest employer in Naples they manufacture and design medical devices....plus of course there is law enforcement, building trades jobs and much more......Naples is expanding.....
I stay with family in Naples every year around this time during Valentine’s Day, and I’m truly missing it. The vibes this place gives is immaculate. Paradise on earth feels like home.
Lived in Florida for 40 years...7 in Naples. I should have left way before I did. We moved up to the Carolinas and LOVE IT. Unless you just love sticky heat/humidity, mosquitoes, and high prices...not sure why anyone would choose Naples and really anywhere in Florida.
@@RG-hf4et We mostly lived in Winston Salem, and loved it, but also enjoyed Greenville, SC. North Carolina has many cool cities, depending what you are looking for. Asheville is fantastic and we love Blowing Rock and Boone. Raleigh and Charlotte for bigger cities, but not our cup of tea. If I would have stayed in Florida I would choose Sarasota over Naples by a mile. We just do not like the heat and humidity and living life in air conditioning....when we can enjoy beautiful cool breezes in the Carolinas.
@@bananapatch9118 Thanks for your reply. I am from the Northeast. Am thinking west coast Florida vs. East coast. I am looking for peace & quiet, palm trees, beautiful water. Don't want to deal with NY'ers that are attracted to the east coast. Hearing nice things about Navarre, Anna Maria Island, & Sarasota area. But the humidity is high there, too? Jekyll Island, GA is my speed - quiet, no traffic, great beaches, no riff raff. I am 64 so schools are not an issue
@@RG-hf4et The west coast has the warm water of the Gulf of Mexico instead of the cold Atlantic water. The west coast has mostly midwesterners and the East coast gets the folks from NY and NJ. My favorite area on Florida’s west coast is Sarasota....Siesta Key if you have a little bigger wallet. Siesta key Beach is AWESOME. The Village is a great casual area to hang out and eat n drink. But, you still have to deal with heat n humidity. I’ve just reached an age where I want to be out n about and not constantly sweating. We love the Carolinas....and will retire to the mountains of Mexico in a few years.
Hi I bump into your channel while I was looking for info about Naples, I'm thinking to make the move with my family, we're currently living in San Diego and it's getting pretty expensive over here, what are your thoughts about it? Thanks and me and my wife we're really enjoying your videos.
Thank you so much for such great information. We ARE moving to Naples!! Made the decision to make a bold move in our lifestyle. Heading in from Tacoma Washington. Your content is priceless.
Vancouver, WA here with a daughter who lives in Naples! Every February when were sick of the cold and rain, we want to move there, we love it! But we have 3 children and 3 grandchildren here, and 1 child and 2 granddaughters there so we never do it!
What was the water temperature when you shot this video? Can you recommend some beaches that I should consider moving to that I can swim at even in the winter? Also, my fear about living on the gulf side is the problems that I’ve read about regarding red tides. Have you had to deal with that yet?
Im planing on moving to Florida soon. Im living in nj and because of the pandemic my job been closed. Hows the jobs in Florida. Do you see a major decrease in pay when moving to Florida. I worked in nyc midtown as a bartender and my fear is making little to no money in Florida . I have kids by the way so its just not me moving to Florida . And thank you for your videos and your information.
Depends where you go but if you're a bartender I'm sure you could make good money in Fl because of the amount of tourist we get here. The money will be less than NYC but the cost of living is alway much lower. I hope that helps, If you need any more info shoot me an email Luis@culture.estate
If you are planning to move to naples, just know that its expensive to live here and if you are middle or low income class then I dont recommend you... Since you have kids, I recommend you to live somewhere else in florida. Naples is becoming a place for rich people. The place is safe depending on where you live and the cheapest rent would be 1.2k or up (estimates). If middle or low class (you may have 2 jobs depending on the amount of income in your family). For your kids, the middle school in naples suck! (Gulfview, Golden gate STAY AWAY!!) Best highschools (Naples high).Elementary (sea gate) *it may have changed* Source: im been living here for 15 years and my family over 25 years... Good luck!
Excellent video... short and to the point! I'm about a year away from moving to Florida and Naples is #1 on the list. Would love to see a video on gated communities, if your are lucky enough to get in! Thanks and I'll be sure to keep watching and sharing your videos!!
Naples only for wealthy people who have other homes to choose from. Otherwise stay away. The water is horrible. People very unfriendly. Impact fee is a scam. Very overrated. I'm sure it was paradise before yrs 2000.
Actually the majority of Naples and Collier County residents are below middle class. He's just showing all of the shiny touristy, seasonal resident shit. And We're totally ok if people don't like it here. Even better if you don't move here. He's also full of shit about the cost of living. It can be very expensive to live here. Granted...not NY City expensive, but we don't let numbnuts tax the living crap out of us for no reason. Do some independent research.
Great points! As a native South Floridian, I would start with citydata.com and research business trends in the local library. Ask the reference librarian to help you. This is going to take some concentrated effort. If you are in your earning years contemplating moving to South Florida, I would say don’t move here. You’re wasting time and opportunity. It’s too expensive, and there is only a majority of low paying service industry jobs. Go to where Big Business is relocating so you can earn enough money to retire in these affluent Floridian gated communities.
Haha! I was thinking the same thing... I live in Naples and I leave EVERY CHANCE I GET! But by all means, if you want to live amongst the very wealthy, pretentious, right-wing, douchebag types... then Naples is DEFINITELY for you!! Cheers!
Video is well done. I got to say that the very cheapest house in the Moorings is 1.5 Million , This is a bread and butter that was built in the 70s and needs to be refurbished. If you wanna 675 foot condo you can get one for under 500k. Park shore cheapest house 1.3 million. Aqualane shores you’re looking at 10 Million if you want a boat dock. I guess the cheaper numbers are coming in because of these micro condos that they have 500 600 700 ft. This house that you’re passing by are 5 million dollar homes not medium income. Props for researching the schools and looking out for your kids!
does anybody have an idea of how the autism services are in Florida. ? family and i are considering moving down there, but i have a sister with autism, so we're trying to gather up info. is there personal care assistance or an equivalent of that down there ? can relatives be p.c.a. / work as care-takers ?
You may want to check out apd.myflorida.com for info. The cdc plus program allows relatives to work as care givers. However, I have heard there is a huge backlog of people waiting to be accepted into the program. I don’t know about the waitlist personally, but its something to check out before you move.
It really is, I was a little worried that I was gonna be weird but they were so kind and down to earth. I cant wait to go back, maybe I'll see you there
Nectar lab is cool. Check out the other Naples kava bars! Cosmic Kava at airport and Vanderbilt, kava culture at 41 and vandy and there’s a new one opening on Collier sooon!
Bugs is a broad subject. We do have alot of insects in Naples but most you will never notice unless you're looking for them. mosquitoes aren't bad here in Naples ( they spray ) but out in Lely, Golden Gate estates, ave maria fiddlers creek the mosqutoes SUCK literally
My husband and I want to buy a condo way high views, 6th or 7th floor, with pool and gym, near the beach, restaurants, shops. safe and less % of crime. do you have a subjection for us ?. thanks.
Sorry that was my admin who goes through my messages and just thanks everyone for commenting. I’m not sure what you mean by subjection, why don’t you send me an email with your info and we can chat luis@culture.estate
I live in California looking for moving to FL. Like you, I did all my research. I was convinced to live in Nocatee (Jackson Ville) until I saw your videos. Now that is my question Jackson Ville vs Naples. Which one is the best for a family with kids? The top 3 reasons are: school, safety, and outdoor activity. Any thoughts?
Naples has a large older population- I’ve seen younger kids growing to teenagers think it’s a bit lame and slow- but I love not personally and always have since I was in my 20’s! Stay a couple weeks in both areas before you commit :-)
Do you need to live anywhere specific to go to Mason Classical we are having a tough time finding a house in a good school district also want it to be kid friendly. I’m so excited from your video that you said that there is no nightlife that’s exactly what we’re looking for🙌🏻
Mason academy is a charter school. You need to apply and win a lottery :) to get there . Best school district is with Seagate and pelican marsch elementary schools .
@moe raff 2.7% maybe too high. With the economic environment starting to show signs of a collapse, and we are discussing real estate. That 2.7% maybe too high in a year or two. Take a closer look at real estate sales and compare it to the local economy. Then expand your observation.
You been living there long enough. How about seeing your place you purchased and some of the cons you found out so far. A lot of videos are saying Naples is not that great.
great review. we actually were considering Naples as well but decided to move to Boca Raton (moving from North New Jersey). Kava bars are becoming very popular too
Boca is very nice as well, I considered it but ended up choosing Naples for the laid back lifestyle. And yes, I can see why Kava bars are blowing up, nice alternative to normal bars
Can I ask why you choose Boca Raton over Naples. How do you like it there? We are considering Naples or Marco Island. But also like a little night life.
you cant go wrong with either choice, Marco is a tighter smaller community. You might end up feeling claustrophobic and you have to travel to go to most bigger stores. Napes depending where you go can have it all. Night life in swfl is mostly over at 10pm unless you travel to a few places north or even some bars in Marco Island. Hope that helps as well as any info you get from @tequila_shark
Your elementary schools rating is wrong . And not because it is not updated . It was wrong 10 months ago . All well rated schools in Naples are mediocre at best somewhere outside of the state because Florida is one of the lowest ranked state in that regard. Mason Academy is a charter school - it’s misleading to mention it among public district schools. It is safe yes because there is literally nothing to do especially with family except going to the beach and swim in the pool. It’s a cultural wasteland, retirement paradise in retirees based economy. If you are the one who is willing to raise your kids like that - Naples is your place . Well one needs quite some money here too . Homes are overpriced and snobby population will remind you of that :)
If you are a retiree and you want to spend your final years ( waiting to be planted ) in a hot 🥵 climate playing golf/tennis - that could be your choice. There is no reason to live here otherwise. I lived in 9 countries and inc other places in USA . Schools are mediocre at best . Their ratings are Florida rating which one of the worst states in education. Food is mediocre. All for new business , tourists type . Meaning it is all about location but food… nobody expects you to return . Weather is how and humid 11 months per year . Cultural wasteland- nothing happens . Sometimes something in Artis etc but not enough. Beach and pool - that’s all you can do with kids . No shopping. You shop online for everything except groceries and maybe some furniture. A lot of snobby old money coming from provincial areas :) picture that :))) Old people are everywhere. I love them and respect them but when I am not Naples ( dreaming to move out ) it is so refreshing to see young faces :) and feel a cool air … I mean if you are old and have money , haven’t really seen anything , have low expectations for quality - you can be happy here for sure ! People are . But especially families- don’t waste your time.
100% accurate! Mediocre little town, trying to passing as a metropolitan, exciting place. 1950’s mentality over here. Now Miami people are starting to invade this town. The best thing Naples has to offer is the beauty and cleanliness!
I really like what I see about naples but I have a huge fear when it comes to snakes. I'm trying to do a little research about snakes. Just wondering how often would a person run into a snake in Naples? What is the chance you would find a snake somewhere inside your house? I believe with knowledge I would overcome the fear but right now, I'd love to hear more from people living in Naples!
Your going to see snakes. We’re in the subtropics and in their neighborhood. There’s spiders, termites, Cuban anoles, Cuban knights, palmetto roaches, deer flies the size of half dollars. There was a Burmese python found on a boat in Marco a month ago. Naples has wildlife for sure.
I am 62 years old and I am visiting Naples in Feb. Of this year. I am a nursing home nurse for 40 years and will be looking for a job and an apartment for 1 year until my funds are available to buy a condo. Can you point me in a decent place to live but not too expensive and the same with an apartment. I appreciate your help.
I would say go on indeed. Com to see what nurses salary are here. It's alot less than up north. Cheapest rent will be $1000 per month for a one bedroom.
Lol middle class and Naples don’t go together. You are going to be living to pay rent or mortgage for the rest of your life. That’s all you are going to do! And go to the beach, of course.
Just to let you know Kratom is almost like a drug with similar action to opioids, people who drink it everyday can have withdrawal symptoms if they stop. The FDA is looking into it more.
Wow The Moorings with an average price of $700K? very very very - extremely low....Maybe a garage for that price? The video is showing houses that would sell north of $3MM.
I have lived in Naples for my whole life and half of the things this man has said isn’t true. Yes, I get it that you did a lot of research, but that still doesn’t make it 100% correct.
I agree . He doesn’t even know schools well but comments on that . And when people ask specific questions he just reply with a general nothing answer . Is that a real estate project? :)
Been here 33 years and your video is super accurate, well done 👍
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Would you recommend this to single people? And how much it costs for single peoole?
I lived in Naples from 1960 - 2003, and yes its a beautiful city with great schools. The cost of living has crushed the middle class and many have left because of the low wages and high cost of living.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Where did you find good schools ? Everyone who lives here says that but best schools are mediocre at best somewhere else outside of the state
We're currently trying to find a home for rent and possibly buy out here. We're in Germany at the moment. Not easy. Maybe you can help.

For the “public access” beach where is the best place to park?
I was just there. Public Parking at 12th Avenue near Naples Pier. Get there early. Or just Uber from your hotel.
park on the street, plenty of parking everywhere

If you wanna 675 foot condo you can get one for under 500k. Park shore cheapest house 1.3 million. Aqualane shores you’re looking at 10 Million if you want a boat dock. I guess the cheaper numbers are coming in because of these micro condos that they have 500 600 700 ft. This house that you’re passing by are 5 million dollar homes not medium income. Props for researching the schools and looking out for your kids!

does anybody have an idea of how the autism services are in Florida. ?
family and i are considering moving down there, but i have a sister with autism, so we're trying to gather up info.
is there personal care assistance or an equivalent of that down there ? can relatives be p.c.a. / work as care-takers ?
You may want to check out apd.myflorida.com for info. The cdc plus program allows relatives to work as care givers. However, I have heard there is a huge backlog of people waiting to be accepted into the program. I don’t know about the waitlist personally, but its something to check out before you move.

The Nectar bar looks awesome. :)
It really is, I was a little worried that I was gonna be weird but they were so kind and down to earth. I cant wait to go back, maybe I'll see you there
Nectar lab is cool. Check out the other Naples kava bars! Cosmic Kava at airport and Vanderbilt, kava culture at 41 and vandy and there’s a new one opening on Collier sooon!
Is it a lot of bugs there too?
Not really, more lizards and frogs. Bugs are nit an issue
Bugs is a broad subject. We do have alot of insects in Naples but most you will never notice unless you're looking for them. mosquitoes aren't bad here in Naples ( they spray ) but out in Lely, Golden Gate estates, ave maria fiddlers creek the mosqutoes SUCK literally
Uhhhh yeah there are. 51 yr old Native of Naples here. Yes we have bugs.
Do you get hurricane?
no, not yet
I used to live in North Naples when I was little. I would love to move back at some point

I live in California looking for moving to FL. Like you, I did all my research. I was convinced to live in Nocatee (Jackson Ville) until I saw your videos. Now that is my question Jackson Ville vs Naples. Which one is the best for a family with kids?
The top 3 reasons are: school, safety, and outdoor activity.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
If you move to Naples, remember why you're leaving Cali in the first place. Leave those liberal policies at the door. Naples is Conservative.
Naples has a large older population- I’ve seen younger kids growing to teenagers think it’s a bit lame and slow- but I love not personally and always have since I was in my 20’s! Stay a couple weeks in both areas before you commit :-)
Not bad pricing compared to here on Oahu average 800k

Is Miami Naples more expensive?
Miami is a big city so you have a wide spread of prices, same for Naples.
Great video!
Thanks! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Do you need to live anywhere specific to go to Mason Classical we are having a tough time finding a house in a good school district also want it to be kid friendly. I’m so excited from your video that you said that there is no nightlife that’s exactly what we’re looking for🙌🏻
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Mason academy is a charter school. You need to apply and win a lottery :) to get there . Best school district is with Seagate and pelican marsch elementary schools .
Our small fishing town is obscene due to the size of school district

Grow up
@@zoobrizz shut up :D
Would love to know if more young (single) people are moving to Naples? Not for me, but for my sons in their late 20s , early 30s.
The pandemic has changed everything i will make a video on that soon. Stay tuned
It’s younger than we moved here 18 years ago. I raised my boys here and neither want to live here after they graduated from college
No :))) it’s a retired community
Old people dominate here. It’s younger than 10 years ago, but still old, rich, white republican area.
Great Video
Thanks ! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Can you do colleges/universities in Naples? 😩
Fgcu
Sounds llke a plan
There's a real estate bubble coming. This is going to be interesting.
@moe raff 2.7% maybe too high. With the economic environment starting to show signs of a collapse, and we are discussing real estate. That 2.7% maybe too high in a year or two. Take a closer look at real estate sales and compare it to the local economy. Then expand your observation.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Absolutely. It’s the wrong time to buy
You been living there long enough. How about seeing your place you purchased and some of the cons you found out so far. A lot of videos are saying Naples is not that great.

Funny but still a bargain compared to Toronto. Even with the exchange rates!
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
great review. we actually were considering Naples as well but decided to move to Boca Raton (moving from North New Jersey). Kava bars are becoming very popular too
Boca is very nice as well, I considered it but ended up choosing Naples for the laid back lifestyle. And yes, I can see why Kava bars are blowing up, nice alternative to normal bars
Can I ask why you choose Boca Raton over Naples. How do you like it there? We are considering Naples or Marco Island. But also like a little night life.
you cant go wrong with either choice, Marco is a tighter smaller community. You might end up feeling claustrophobic and you have to travel to go to most bigger stores. Napes depending where you go can have it all. Night life in swfl is mostly over at 10pm unless you travel to a few places north or even some bars in Marco Island. Hope that helps as well as any info you get from @tequila_shark
I have a strong dislike for the Lower East Coast of Florida. Rude people. The traffic and bad drivers
BOCA is outdated and very expensive. Popular in the 1980s and people reflect this.
Your elementary schools rating is wrong . And not because it is not updated . It was wrong 10 months ago . All well rated schools in Naples are mediocre at best somewhere outside of the state because Florida is one of the lowest ranked state in that regard.
Mason Academy is a charter school - it’s misleading to mention it among public district schools.
It is safe yes because there is literally nothing to do especially with family except going to the beach and swim in the pool.
It’s a cultural wasteland, retirement paradise in retirees based economy. If you are the one who is willing to raise your kids like that - Naples is your place . Well one needs quite some money here too . Homes are overpriced and snobby population will remind you of that :)
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
You said there were beautiful beaches here and they were pretty but there were no waves!!!! I need waves.

You may also talk about medium class neighborhoods for others people that want to buy and they have less than 700 k to buy a house.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
You can’t buy a house in Naples for less than 350 to 400 thousand to start!
Hi, I was wanting to go walking around in nature. Maybe even a swampy area. Do you have any recommendations? (In Naples)
go to gnarlyharleyadventures.com
If you are a retiree and you want to spend your final years ( waiting to be planted ) in a hot 🥵 climate playing golf/tennis - that could be your choice.
There is no reason to live here otherwise. I lived in 9 countries and inc other places in USA .
Schools are mediocre at best . Their ratings are Florida rating which one of the worst states in education.
Food is mediocre. All for new business , tourists type . Meaning it is all about location but food… nobody expects you to return .
Weather is how and humid 11 months per year .
Cultural wasteland- nothing happens . Sometimes something in Artis etc but not enough.
Beach and pool - that’s all you can do with kids .
No shopping. You shop online for everything except groceries and maybe some furniture.
A lot of snobby old money coming from provincial areas :) picture that :)))
Old people are everywhere. I love them and respect them but when I am not Naples ( dreaming to move out ) it is so refreshing to see young faces :) and feel a cool air …
I mean if you are old and have money , haven’t really seen anything , have low expectations for quality - you can be happy here for sure ! People are . But especially families- don’t waste your time.
Thanks for sharing! I appreciate you watching and commenting.
100% accurate! Mediocre little town, trying to passing as a metropolitan, exciting place. 1950’s mentality over here. Now Miami people are starting to invade this town. The best thing Naples has to offer is the beauty and cleanliness!
I really like what I see about naples but I have a huge fear when it comes to snakes. I'm trying to do a little research about snakes. Just wondering how often would a person run into a snake in Naples? What is the chance you would find a snake somewhere inside your house? I believe with knowledge I would overcome the fear but right now, I'd love to hear more from people living in Naples!
Haven't seen any snakes in over 1 year of living here
Your going to see snakes. We’re in the subtropics and in their neighborhood. There’s spiders, termites, Cuban anoles, Cuban knights, palmetto roaches, deer flies the size of half dollars. There was a Burmese python found on a boat in Marco a month ago. Naples has wildlife for sure.
Ive been to Florida so many times. I never been to Naples.
Let me know if you ever make it here, I'll give you some recommendations
I am 62 years old and I am visiting Naples in Feb. Of this year. I am a nursing home nurse for 40 years and will be looking for a job and an apartment for 1 year until my funds are available to buy a condo. Can you point me in a decent place to live but not too expensive and the same with an apartment. I appreciate your help.
I would say go on indeed. Com to see what nurses salary are here. It's alot less than up north. Cheapest rent will be $1000 per month for a one bedroom.
sure, send me an email to Luis@culture.estate
Lol middle class and Naples don’t go together. You are going to be living to pay rent or mortgage for the rest of your life. That’s all you are going to do! And go to the beach, of course.
Just to let you know Kratom is almost like a drug with similar action to opioids, people who drink it everyday can have withdrawal symptoms if they stop. The FDA is looking into it more.

Wow The Moorings with an average price of $700K? very very very - extremely low....Maybe a garage for that price? The video is showing houses that would sell north of $3MM.

I have lived in Naples for my whole life and half of the things this man has said isn’t true. Yes, I get it that you did a lot of research, but that still doesn’t make it 100% correct.

This guy is speaking his truth and experience! Shame on you for your comment.
I agree . He doesn’t even know schools well but comments on that . And when people ask specific questions he just reply with a general nothing answer . Is that a real estate project? :)
What about port royal ?
You're the 2nd person to tell me this I will be working on it in 2021
