Naples, Florida, has once again secured the top spot as the best place to live in the United States, according to U.S. News & World Report. The city’s strong desirability, job market scores, and moderately high quality of life have contributed to its consistent ranking at the top of the list.

Residents of Naples enjoy the sunshine almost every day and have access to a wide variety of live performing arts groups throughout the year. Additionally, Naples has gained recognition as the Pickleball Capital of the World, hosting the U.S. Open Pickleball Championships in April.
