I often tell people I live in paradise. It appears that many experts agree with my assessment. The latest statistic to support my claim about Naples (and Marco Island), FL comes from a Gallup study on the wellbeing of American communities. It ranks Naples-Marco Island as 7th highest level of wellbeing among the nearly 200 metro areas considered.
A few years ago I shared Naples rank as the #2 happiest seaside town. Earlier this year, Marco Island was named the #1 island by Trip Advisor.
So What?
All in all, the weather, the people, and the possibilities of Naples-Marco Island make it a place I am glad to call home.
