Naples Is Quietly Becoming The Place Where America’s New ‘Old Money’ Hides

This recent Forbes article caught my attention, asking, "What's really happening in Naples?"

https://www.forbes.com/sites/petertaylor/2026/02/03/can-someone-please-tell-me-whats-going-on-in-naples/

Taking a closer look at the many reasons Naples continues to attract great wealth in a mostly understated way.

The piece cites quiet momentum and strategic growth, with greater wealth and influence quietly aggregating in ways different from the deep generational (and often discreet wealth) that has long been part of the Naples fabric.

There is renewed interest from ultra-wealthy buyers and significant real estate deals and listings which, like in this article, capture national attention.

Naples will always have its legacy families and they are being joined by new strategic, intentional relocations

If you're considering a sale or a move, or simply trying to understand timing, this is the context which can more fully inform decisions.

Always happy to chat and share thoughts if this sparks curiosity about the Naples market.

We assembled 350 meal kits in less than 2 hours. Everyone was glad to be a part of this.

Thank you to Petra and Carly, MOH staff who came in Saturday morning to get us set up and cheer us on.

Let’s Celebrate Naples – Past, Present and Future


by Karen Coney Coplin

As a long-term resident of Naples (31 years), I’ve learned to take the city’s growth and associated changes in stride. While much has changed, some constants remain, such as the ever-growing traffic problem, which has always been an annoyance. (Anyone else remember when Exit 105 on 75 didn’t even exist?)

Similarly, fully booked restaurant tables during season continue to be a “first world” problem, given the many excellent dining choices we have.

It helps to keep a sense of humor (and ongoing appreciation for our consistently beautiful sunsets) as we begin the new year. So, here is my countdown resolving to make the best of 2026:

10. Do you remember when “season” meant you might wait 10-15 minutes for a table? Those days are gone forever! Thanks to social media posts and the always vibrant word-of-mouth, there are precious few hidden gems about dining options in Naples, or, frankly, Naples in general! Resolve to treasure that Naples once felt like a best kept secret.

9. Support the local spots which may be yet to be discovered, ready to breathe fresh life to our days, adventures, and meals. Andre solve to dine, shop and linger in those places which have stood the test of time.

8. Appreciate the charm of Old Naples: especially the parts that survived Ian redevelopment. There are survivors among cottages and courtyards and blazing blooms. It’s a small-town feeling. Resolve to hold on to that spirit even as Naples evolves at a record clip.

7. Take in nature. Whether at the beach on a favorite path or park, pick up a piece of litter or two. Be mindful of the sea turtle nests a little later this year. And for the love of all things coastal, please don’t feed the seagulls.

6. Be mindful. Gulf Shore Blvd., Central Ave. (and all the other avenues downtown) are not the place to exercise any Formula One ambitions. Nor are these the places to catch up on texts. Let’s all resolve to admire the banyan trees and energetic people on the bike paths, rather than drive into them!

5. Spark a better conversation. With so many art, film, and music festivals, gallery openings, and world-class live performances at Artis, playhouses and elsewhere, let’s inspire each other to see & discuss the best of what’s around us, and within us.

4. Resolve to hit the beach more often. Vitamin “Sea” is the real deal. The sunsets, shoreline, and salt air are free and offer an unmatched benefit to living in a coastal area. An instant mood boostfor most!

3. Embrace a gentler start to the day and keep that pace throughout. Perhaps it’s time to venture to Baker Park and take in a sunrise. What better way to bookend the day, as you can then plan to catch the sunset later.

2. Be a better neighbor. Whether it is someone who is a lifelong local, or a newcomer arriving on the heels of a wonderful first visit last season, it never hurts to extend some hospitality. With any luck, something wonderful might come of it.

1. Take it all in, with patience. Most of us were new to this wonderful community at some point, and we understand the excitement and fresh perspectives that newcomers bring. Their enthusiasm can be a welcome and contagious reminder for the love of our community. And, they in turn might appreciate our reminiscences about our favorite spots and memories from years gone by.

It’s a balance: let’s see it unfold this year.

Let’s shine together!

Have a Holiday Heart


by Karen Coney Coplin

As a longtime Naples resident, I’ve seen firsthand how this community comes together when times are tough, like in the aftermath of Hurricanes Wilma, Irma & Ian.

Now we are facing a different type of challenge, with everyday costs rising and reductions in funding for programs assisting families in need. It doesn’t take much imagination to realize that some of our neighbors are quietly struggling.

It’s the holiday season with many of us planning, shopping, and wrapping presents for our loved ones. This month offers a chance to reach beyond our traditional circle of giving and lend support to the non-profit, charitable organizations that make life in Naples more vibrant for all.

By turning heartfelt concern and generosity into a community practice, we can nourish families by filling pantries, giving hope, and helping children thrive. As always, Naples shines brightest when we reach out to help each other.

Collier Resource Center— Two of many clients helped.

These organizations have been profiled in this column previously and bear consideration for year-end giving and 2026 planning:

  1. Collier Resource Center – This is a community-based non-profit which offers case management, referrals and support for families facing challenges such as food insecurity, service access, & economic hardship. The organization can be reached at239.434.2030 for intake; for those clients helped by the CRC, there is no charge for case management and other services. Web: collierresourcecenter.org
  2. Harry Chapin Food Bank of Southwest Florida is one of the largest hunger relief organizations in the area, serving Naples and Collier County (Charlotte, Glades, Hendry& Lee Counties, too) through regional food distribution by partner agencies. The late singer Harry Chapin, who championed both the arts and hunger relief, said “To know is to care, to care is to act, and to act is to make a difference.” To help this organization serve 300,000 SW FL residents every month, consider a one-time or monthly gift. Visit online: HarryChapinFoodBank.org or call 239.334.7007 to help.
  3. Meals of Hope – this organization is well-known for its community food-packing events such as one I attended with my daughters, years ago, at Gulfview Middle School, and more recently with the Cornell alumni group. This organization offers mobile food pantries (note: these also offer volunteer opportunities). If youhave a group interested in assembling food kits, visit mealsofhope.org or reach out at 239.537.777. The City of Naples just recognized the impact of Meals of Hope by commemorating November 2025, in the organization’s honor.
  4. Pathways Early Education Center of Immokalee – in addition to a strong foundation for pre-K learning, this organization provides nutritious breakfast, lunch and snacks. Center families also benefitfrom onsite baby food and diaper distribution for younger siblings. For ways to support Pathways, reach out via: pathwaysearlyeducation.org or call 239.403.7977.
  5. Circle of Friends participants walk or run the Gordon River Greenway on the first Saturday of each month, raising funds to support a variety of charitable organizations. In October, this group featured “Weekend Meals by UUCGN” (Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Greater Naples). November’s walk benefited the Children’s Advocacy Center, and January’s walk will take place on Jan. 10 at 8:30a.m., first hearing about Grace Place with the walk commencing by8:45 a.m. Visit circlefriends.gives for more ways to be involved with the Circle of Friends and their designated non-profits. Weekend Meals provides food to local school children who may not have healthy food or enough to eat on the weekends. uunaples.org for more information.
  6. The Children’s Advocacy Center is an organization for children who may have experienced abuse, offering counseling services & legal advocacy in a child-friendly environment.caccollier.org or 239.263.8383 to assist.

Grace Place is committed to providing pathways out of poverty through youth education and adult literacy among other programs. graceplacenaples.org or 239.255.7200 for more ways to help.

Local non-profits have long carried much of the weight to help families find stability in times of need. Supporting these local groups demonstrates an unwavering degree of compassion in Naples. And, stronger still during the holiday season.

I’m abundantly thankful to call Naples my home and to connect with you here.

Let’s shine together!
