Naples Historic District

Naples Historic District is a residential area in Naples, Florida containing houses and a few commercial buildings built from the late 1800s through the 1930s. The neighborhood stretches from tree-lined inland streets down to the waterfront and showcases architectural styles popular during that era.

The district began taking shape in the late 1800s when early settlers started building permanent homes here. Most of the structures that remain today were built during the first three decades of the 1900s before the area transformed into a modern town.

The district's buildings reflect the tastes and building methods of early settlers who wanted to create a permanent community by the sea. Walking through the streets, you notice how different homes showcase personal choices in design and how residents shaped the neighborhood over generations.

The area is easy to explore on foot with multiple entry points along the coastal streets. Parking is available in various spots around the district, particularly near the inland roads where you can start your walk toward the waterfront.

Several homes in the district were designed by architects working in styles that blended influences from different American regions. This mix of building traditions makes the area special for anyone interested in how early settlers adapted their homes to match this particular coastal setting.
