Can anyone help me with information (both good and bad) on living in Naples, FL? We currently live in the foothills west of Denver (Golden, CO) and love it! But, my husband has been running a small software company for the past three years and is in the process of selling out to a much larger company based in Naples. There are some job options that might allow us to stay in CO, but generally the most interesting positions and the best options for his long term career are at their headquarters in Naples. I'm a SAHM but spent enough time in the workforce to know that going to Naples is probably the right move for my DH. He's ok with moving (although we love our house and property), but is mainly worried about Abbie and I. I have a ton of friends and professional contacts here...many of my friends have similar education/career backgrounds to mine and have decided to stay home as well, so I feel so lucky that I've had that. I'm definitely worried about moving to a smaller community with a less diverse economy where it's less likely I'll meet SAHMs that I can bond with. I'm also a little worried about FL generally...I've really only ever spent time in Miami and Orlando on business and in Orlando and the Keys on vacation. My general impresion of FL is cookie cutter houses, geriatrics and alligators (I know, I know I'm overgeneralizing).
If anyone knows the area and can give me any information you feel like posting (or email/PM me), I'd really appreciate it.
