Naples’ Bayshore Arts District
This unique small community on Naples Bay and Haldeman Creek is in the south east corner of downtown Naples. It’s main street is Bayshore Drive and it is surrounded by tremendous amenities: 1. One mile to the north is 5th Avenue South which ends at Naples Beach and is the most gorgeous shopping street in Florida,
2. Rte US 41 with its franchise row of highway businesses is the north boundary,
3. The Collier County Government Complex (our largest employer) is 500 yards east of Bayshore Drive,
4. At the Haldeman Creek Bridge are Celebration Food Truck Park and Three60 Market the amazing gourmet restaurants that attract hundreds,
5. 10 more unique and tasty restaurants, bars and breweries are in The Village at The Bayshore Arts District,
6. There are 6 yacht clubs and marinas in the village,
7. Naples premier tourist attraction, Naples Botanical Garden is in the Bayshore Arts District,
8. The huge US Pickle Ball center is in the village,
9. Sugden Park with Lake Avalon and its white sand beach is in the village. So, beautiful South Florida weather, beautiful homes in an urban village, on Naples Bay with great boating, walking, biking, jogging, great food and drink....
10.Holland House is smack in the middle of all this. I could go on and on but come and find out for yourself.
It could be the best neighborhood ever created!
Neighborhood overview
We are so close to downtown and the beaches it is no wonder that this a place people want to be. There are 4 stunning parks within 2 mile radius. The beautiful lake Avalon in Sugden Park is right around the corner. This park includes a small very safe beach. There is a water-ski center and a sail school. You can learn to sail within a week if you want. It is very economical. I believe 5 lessons of about 3 hours each cost about $150. You can also rent a sail boat, peddle board or kayaks or play sports. Or just walk or bike around the lake. This walk is about 2 miles and you will see all sorts of Florida wildlife. This is an older neighborhood in transition. There are a number of older mobile homes. However, it's very SAFE and many people have been here most of their life. They know and care for each other. It's a hidden gem. Investors are building new homes. Restaurants and small businesses are settling close by. Many artists & nature lovers have also discovered the tranquility of this place.

I am pretty big on nature. I love to take one of the kayaks and go explore an area where I can experience what SW Florida is all about. I will share a couple of my favorite places with you that won’t cost an arm and a leg as they say.
Of course you have to visit the Botanical gardens. However it is about $20 per person. It’s worth every penny, however there are many other places that are just as beautiful and what will show what nature in SW Florida is all about. I invite you to enjoy these places.

One of the most beautiful lakes in Naples (besides Lake Kelly, the lake behind the house) is Sugden Park with Lake Avalon.
This massive park, wrapped around a 60-acre freshwater lake just off the East Tamiami Trail, boasts facilities available nowhere else in the area. Sugden Regional Park, as it is formally known, hosts a variety of programs taking advantage of Lake Avalon, including sailing, kayaking, water skiing instruction and demonstrations, paddle boat rentals, and one of the only freshwater beaches in Collier County. There is a path around the lake what stretches a good 1.5 miles. There are several restrooms and water fountains along the way.

A great place to watch the sunset is way closer to the house at only 2 miles: It’s my favorite spot to see the sun go down.
There are cabanas and picnic tables. You overlook Naples Bay with the multimillion dollar mansions of Port Royal on the other side. The boats come in from the golf and go to Naples harbor. Behind you there is the hustle and bustle of trailers that pick the boats up out the water. It’s a fun place to be.
Bayview Park's 4 acres are located at the end of Danford Street off Thomasson Drive. Enjoy the million-dollar views of Naples Bay, a waterway shared by the homes in downtown Naples' Port Royal.
