Gogo's take on Naples Manor
“Go. Naples Manor is a modest, primarily residential working-class community that is generally safe for daytime visits and local dining, though it lacks the upscale amenities and manicured polish found elsewhere in Collier County.”
Collier County Sheriff's Office maintains active routine patrols in the area, with recent local news focusing primarily on Collier County traffic improvements along US-41 and regional housing affordability initiatives.
About the area
Located in East Naples south of Rattlesnake Hammock Road, Naples Manor is a vibrant, predominantly Hispanic working-class enclave featuring humble single-family homes and neighborhood commercial strips. Visitors primarily pass through to enjoy authentic Latin American bakeries, taquerias, and convenient access to nearby parks.
