Olde Naples (also spelled Old Naples) is the historic founding district of the City of Naples, spanning approximately 1.5 square miles from 9th Avenue South to 13th Avenue South, bounded by 3rd Street South to the east and the Gulf of Mexico to the west. The Naples Historic District — a subset of Olde Naples, designated in 1987 — includes 66 historic buildings that once housed early Naples visitors including the DuPonts, Briggs, and Haldemans. The iconic Naples Pier anchors the community’s beachfront identity.

The community contains approximately 2,850 residences: ~1,100 single-family homes and ~1,750 condos across a wide pricing spectrum. The 5th Avenue South and 3rd Street South corridors provide dual downtown shopping and dining districts with more than 50 restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. Cambier Park anchors the community’s family-friendly core; the Naples City Dock serves boaters and kayakers. Building types range from 1950s–60s Florida cottages (classic original Naples charm, prime renovation candidates) to 2020s new-construction luxury ($12M–$25M Gordon Drive replacements).

For kitchen remodels, Olde Naples is Naples’ highest-ROI neighborhood because of permanent supply constraints: no new land, historic preservation on many lots, and the walkability premium that can’t be replicated anywhere else in Naples. The 2025 single-family average of $6.28M at $2,026/sqft is the highest in the city. Renovation scope divides along three clear lines: historic-cottage preservation renovations (Better tier, $580K, preservation-sensitive), boutique-condo Good-tier refreshes (Mariner, Town Manor, Pettit Square, $240K–$300K), and new-construction-spec Best-tier kitchens for Gordon Drive and beachfront estates ($1M–$1.5M). Every Olde Naples renovation factors in 98% flood-zone exposure, FEMA elevation coordination, historic preservation where applicable, and the City of Naples permitting process.
