If you’re looking for a top city to live out your Golden Years, Naples is one of the best cities in the nation. That’s according to the latest ranking from the experts at U.S. News & World Report.
The website recently came out with its list of the “<a href="https://www.usnews.com/info/blogs/press-room/articles/2020-10-13/us-news-unveils-2020-2021-best-places-to-live-best-places-to-retire" rel="nofollow">Best Places to Retire in the U.S</a>.”, and not surprisingly, Naples is close to the top of the list. The city came in at an admirable number four on its latest ranking, right behind such other top Florida locations as Sarasota, Fort Myers and Port St Lucie.
Cities in Florida easily dominated the list this time around, helped in part by the lack of a state income tax. Retirees are also drawn to the state, and to the Naples region specifically, for warm weather, recreational opportunities and fantastic beaches.
Naples, in particular, received an overall score of 7.2. Along with an almost perfect score for net migration, the city also received top scores for desirability and quality of life.
The city scored slightly lower for the job market and for value. While Naples is considered an attractive location for <a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/naples-fifty-five-plus/">retirees</a>, it’s not exactly the most affordable in the nation. The median home price sits just under $327,000.
Of course, there are also plenty of positives to mention. The website did point out several of the city’s most attractive qualities.
Known as a desirable spot for wealthy retirees, the Naples area is home to some of the nation’s <a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/vanderbilt-beach/">best beaches</a>, <a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/golfing-condos/">golf courses</a>, shopping and upscale dining possibilities. Many people own second homes in the city, and flock to the Naples area during the colder, winter months of the year.
Naples is a popular spot for fishing and for boating. The area is also home to the natural beauty of locations like Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, plus local museums and annual festivals.<br /><br />Related Links<a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/park-shore/" target="_blank">Search Park Shore Real Estate</a><a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/pelican-bay/" target="_blank">Pelican Bay Homes & Condos For Sale</a><a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/kalea-bay/" target="_blank">Kalea Bay Condo Listings</a>2020-10-26T16:09:00-07:002021-05-10T05:09:05-07:00Mark Washburntag:naplescondoboutique.com,2012-09-20:19059Del Webb Naples Offers Affordable 55+<br /><img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/3001/image/uploads/del_webb_naples_600_600.jpg" alt="del webb naples 55+ active adult community" width="600" height="400" class="img_box_center" />

It seems that Naples is not only a beautiful place to call home but also a place that may just make you happier and healthier. At least that’s according to respected business and financial publication Kiplinger, which recently gave Naples top marks.
The editors of Kiplinger named Naples as the top city when it comes to “12 Great Places to Retire for Your Good Health”. Once noted as an old fishing village with few choices in dining, the city now boasts around 21,000 residents, many of them retirees flocking to Naples for the beautiful homes and miles of stunning beaches.
Not to be overshadowed, the city also recently received the highest grade for air quality from the American Lung Association. That’s significant because Naples is an active city where residents often participate in outdoor recreation like kayaking, fishing and golf. <a title="old naples real estate" href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/olde-naples/">Old Naples</a>, too, is just a short bike ride or stroll away from many restaurants and grocery stores.
An active lifestyle is one mark of a “Blue Zone”, something launched in 2015 by a Naples-based healthcare system to help encourage healthy behavior communitywide. A blue zone is a term commonly attached to a location where residents live well into their 90s.
Longevity is also commonly attached to community involvement and Naples has plenty of that, supporting hundreds of nonprofits. As well, the city maintains its status as a top place for retirement due to health and well-being. The Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index recently gave the Naples area the top spot for overall well-being, scoring high in community well-being and social well-being. That study found a majority of residents choose to eat healthy and are less stressed than most of the rest of the country.
Other cities that followed Naples on the Kiplinger list included Lynchburg, VA, Billings, MT, Greensboro, NC and Omaha, NE. The only other Florida city to crack the “top 12” was St. Petersburg.<br /><br />Related Links<a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/naples-fifty-five-plus/" target="_blank">Naples 55+ Communities</a><a href="http://www.greaterftmyers.com/fifty-five-plus.php" target="_blank">Fort Myers 55+ Communities</a><a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/urban-lifestyle-condos/" target="_blank">Naples Urban Lifestyle Condos</a>2016-07-25T10:50:00-07:002021-05-11T02:47:04-07:00Mark Washburntag:naplescondoboutique.com,2012-09-20:18945 Breakers At The Moorings: 55+ Waterfront<br /><img src="https://assets.site-static.com/userfiles/3001/image/uploads/breakers_at_the_moorings_600.jpg" alt="breakers at the moorings naples" width="600" height="400" class="img_box_center" /><br />

Forbes magazine has named Naples on its list of <a title="top 25 places to retire rich" href="http://www3.forbes.com/personal-finance/25-top-places-to-retire-rich/15/" rel="nofollow">Top 25 Places to Retire Rich</a>. In its “Personal Finance” section, Naples placed #12. This town on the edge of the glistening and sun-baked Gulf of Mexico on Florida’s west coast was co-founded by a Confederate general. Naples is known for its fabulous climate and resort-like lifestyle as well as its tropical breezes and white sandy beaches. Naples has long appealed to the affluent, and holds an irresistible attraction for retirees and the affluent elderly.<br /><br />Almost half (42%) of Naples’ residents are age 65 or higher. Naples is a world-renowned destination for its magnificent <a title="naples waterfront communities" href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/naples-waterfront-condos/">beaches</a>. Naples enjoys 10 miles of beachfront beauty, and the town has more <a title="naples golfing communities" href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/golfing-condos/">golf</a> holes per capita than anywhere in the country. Naples is known as a high-end enclave for the wealthy with a $65,000 median household income. Average home price here is $520,000. Naples remains a top retirement place when money is no object; not every retirement community has to be frugal. Naples enjoys high-end demographics, median household income and average home prices, with a senior citizen population above the national average of 12%. <br /><br />Naples has added appeal for wealthy people moving to retire here, including proximity to strong cultural venues, medical facilities, scenic beauty and quality of life. Hailed as a luxury playground for the rich in the sunshine state, Naples in Florida has a favorable tax environment that attracts high net worth homebuyers, especially those from the Northeast. The taxes on inheritance and estate are very high in many states but Florida---with no personal income tax---is one of the most attractive places to live for tax reasons.

Besides the family theme parks in Orlando, the weather is warm and sunny, and during school breaks the grandchildren can delight in the beaches and pool. This is especially satisfying when you live in the cold Northeast or frigid Midwest bundled up in winter coats for much of the year. But there are many other reasons that make Naples Florida a great place to retire.<br /><br />The weather is enjoyable all year round with a warm climate to enjoy outdoor activities and recreation year round. Southern Florida is one of the warmest places in the United States during the winter with Florida’s annual low temperature of 59 degrees that entices people to escape the brutal winter of the North and Midwest. For <a title="naples 55+ active adult communities" href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/naples-fifty-five-plus/">active 55+ retirees</a>, a huge draw to Florida is no state income taxes, inheritance taxes or estate taxes. For older folks on a fixed income, the lower cost of living in Florida beckons them to move to a place where your dollar stretches further. Your overall lower cost of living means you can spend your hard earned money on what you enjoy, whether it’s travel, sharing with your family or giving it to a charity meaningful to you. <br /><br />In addition, the beaches and other waterways are everywhere in Florida. The calm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, lakes, canals, and rivers all offer free entertainment. Water brings recreational pursuits---water sports, fishing and boating as well as non-water activities like golf, biking, nature trails, walking, and running. Staying active for retirees as we age keeps us healthier than being shut indoors from November through April in the Northeast or Midwest. For retirees, a state like Florida offers a huge amount of health care options and services geared towards older people, where so many other retirees migrate.
A variety of active adult communities in Florida come at every price point, type and style. A well-run community, social activities, and a slate of amenities and services are very appealing after years of managing your own homes. <a title="naples real estate" href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/">Naples</a> boasts golf courses, restaurants, fitness centers and planned social activities. Cultural pursuits in Florida are bountiful for there are an ample selection of art galleries, performing arts venues, entertainment, academic courses and lectures at nearby colleges. Florida is host to a lot of airports which makes travel easy to visit family and friends back home, or people coming to visit you, or simply accessible for leisure travel domestically or abroad. <br /><br />Related Links<a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/blog/naples-one-of-americas-happiest-cities/" target="_blank">Naples One of America’s Happiest Cities</a><a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/blog/naples-named-top-city-for-foodies/" target="_blank">Naples Named Top City For Foodies</a><a href="https://www.naplescondoboutique.com/blog/naples-named-top-golf-destination-by-usa-today/" target="_blank">Naples Named Top Golf Destination By USA Today</a>2014-10-01T13:20:00-07:002021-05-10T05:12:30-07:00Mark Washburn
