The Naples MSA (Metropolitan Statistical
Area), which includes all of Collier County, continues to
be one of the fastest growing metropolitan markets in the
United States. According to the U.S Census Bureau, Naples
is listed as the 2nd fastest growing Metro Market in the U.S.
from 1980 to 2000, and the only one in Florida listed in the
top ten. U.S. Housing Markets has ranked Naples the hottest
housing market in the nation for five consecutive years (1996-2000).
Encompassing a land area of 2,305 square miles, Collier County
is the largest county east of the Mississippi River. Located
along the Southwest Florida coastline, Collier stretches from
the world-class beaches of the Gulf of Mexico to the adventurous
Everglades National Park & Preserve. Within these boundaries,
a tapestry of residential options in equally diverse communities
awaits the homebuyer.
With over sixty-five championship golf
courses, countless outdoor recreational areas and the finest
shopping and dining, its no wonder Money Magazine (1998) ranked
the Greater Naples area #6 on their “Best Small Places
to Live in America” list. Along with miles of pristine
beaches, the area is also a boating and fishing haven with
access to the backwaters of Florida’s 10,000 Islands
and the open sea of the Gulf of Mexico. For those with an
eye for the arts and culture, Naples offers symphonies, art
shows, galleries and Broadway shows. In short, Naples has
something for everyone.
With so much to offer a prospective
new resident, the Greater Naples area has become a target
market for developers and contractors. Fueled by a strong
economy, Collier County continues to lure those desiring the
South Florida lifestyle. Cornerstone’s focus is on the
sophisticated buyer who is seeking a luxury estate home in
an elegant residential community.
