One of the original Naples communities, Coquina Sands has been attracting many of the area’s most successful residents for generations. However, despite its vibrancy and growing popularity, the neighborhood has remained relatively affordable compared with similar communities in the surrounding area. Homes here are often valued at just under $1 million. Still, larger estates can quickly run upwards of $18 million or more depending on the exact location. This price range has made the area especially appealing to younger residents who are just starting out.
