Have you heard of Millionaire’s Row in Naples before? Here’s what you need to know about this trendy area, where it’s located, how it got its name, and the properties available for sale here:
Where is Millionaires’ Row?
Better seen from the water than the road, Millionaires’ Row refers to the row of houses next to the Naples Pier in Old Naples. More specifically, these are the homes on Gordon Drive. These gorgeous homes are on prominent display for anyone walking the beach by the Naples Pier and can be seen beautifully by boat just offshore as well. While you can get a glimpse of these properties from Gordon Drive, we recommend viewing them from the beach side to see their full splendor.
What is the History Behind Millionaires’ Row?
Millionaire’s Row is one of the oldest areas in Naples. In fact, the history of Millionaires’ Row begins with the founding of the city in 1886. Shortly after the city’s creation, famous names (such as President Grover Cleveland’s sister, Rose) began purchasing property in the area now known as Millionaires’ Row. It’s no exaggeration to say this name has always been an accurate description of the clientele it attracts.
