Collier County, known as the Paradise Coast, features Naples, Marco Island, and parts of the Everglades, offering a blend of urban living and natural beauty across its 2,000+ square miles. Over 80% of this region is protected parkland, including the Everglades National Park and Big Cypress National Preserve. While Naples and Marco Island are the major cities, emerging communities like Ave Maria are gaining recognition for their university-centered development and community-oriented design, enhancing the area's diverse appeal. |
