I am proud to introduce Where We Live, a snapshot of our neighborhoods—from Marco Island to Naples to Bonita Springs to Sanibel and Captiva—plus important trend data and other metrics about selected communities.

We are privileged to live in one of the most beautiful places on earth. With superb weather year-round, Southwest Florida is a stage with stunning backdrops. You may choose a home on the Bay or on the magnificent Gulf of Mexico, where watching the sun set is a daily celebration. Or, you may prefer life on the evergreen fairway of a championship golf course. Whatever your lifestyle, we can help.

With a heritage in Southwest Florida since 1984, we know the ins and outs of the coastal towns and city streets. We know how to navigate the local culture. We have a local’s insight into the regional marketplace that can make all the difference to you. In fact, with over $11 billion in total residential sales since January 2006, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty sells more luxury properties along Southwest Florida’s Gulf Coast than anyone else.

{Where We Live} Port Royal Aqualane Shores

PORT ROYAL

Elegant Port Royal estates are positioned on lush, tropical lots fronting banyan-lined streets.

Developed in 1939 by Chicago advertising genius John Glen Sample, Port Royal homes have panoramic water views and prestigious addresses such as Galleon Drive and Rum Row. Sample, who was fascinated with the pirate stories of a Jamaican village, bought swamplands and beachfront property to style the Port Royal neighborhood where he would approve each homeowner, as well as each home plan. Later, Aqualane Shores was situated north of Port Royal, providing boaters with similarly exclusive addresses, as well as short walks to the restaurants and shops on Third Street South in Old Naples.
