Why a Park Shore Condo? Many who are considering Naples FL for a winter home first consider a Park Shore Condo. Perhaps the most obvious reason is the beach and the warm soothing waters of the Gulf of Mexico! Your choice of a Park Shore condo is located along Gulf Shore Blvd. in Naples, Florida. 
A number of the condos situated along Gulf Shore Blvd. on the Gulf side of the street run from 20 to 30 stories high. A Park Shore condo ranges in price from the 300's for a comfortable 2 bed 2 bath unit to over $10 million for an ultra modern palace in the sky. For many second home buyers, a Park Shore condo offers the beautiful location they desire, the ability to walk or bike to the beach, while living in an amenity rich building. Also important for the Park Shore condo owner, is the feeling of safety and security of owning in a condo building rather than a single family home. Having an association responsible for exterior maintenance and upkeep relieves the Park Shore condo owner of these issues especially when they live several states away or in another country.
A Park Shore condo offers what a finite number of addresses in the world offer, and that is an ocean view! Just imagine waking up and looking out your window to see the waves lapping the white sandy beach. Or sitting out on your lanai with a good book, or your ipad, and every time you look up, you are staring at the Gulf of Mexico. A Park Shore condo also provides you with a lifestyle unlike most others. The initial draw is the weather of course, after all, the temperature ranges in the middle 70's for most of the winter months with very little rain.
A Park Shore condo also puts you into close proximity to various shops, restaurants, malls and an art community that is second to none. If you own a Park Shore condo, you can walk to the fine boutiques and popular waterfront restaurants in beautiful Venetian Village. If that is not enough, a Park Shore condo is just a short drive to more shops and restaurants in the Olde Naples business district comprised mainly by Fifth Avenue South and Third Street South. Also just minutes away from your Park Shore condo is the Coastland Mall and the lovely Waterside Shops.
If you are looking for art or entertainment, a good place to start is The Naples Museum of Art. The visual arts center includes a three-story, 30,000 square-foot museum with 15 galleries and work from artist all over the world. The Naples Museum of Art places an emphasis on modern and contemporary art for those of all ages and backgrounds. The Naples Philharmonic offers a lovely venue to take in a concert or play. Performers come from all over the world to Naples to perform.
Naples real estate has not been immune to some of the challenges experienced in the market the past several years.
