Let's focus in on the most luxurious buildings of Park Shore to make it easier for you to make a purchase.
Aria at Park Shore: This one makes the list because it was the last building constructed in Park Shore. With a birth date of 2006, you'll find a sexy, sleek, soft, modern design coupled with fabulous amenities. If you prefer something newer, you'll probably enjoy what Aria at Park Shore has to offer. One of the aspects I love about Aria is how there are lots of unique features on several floors compared to other buildings where you'll find just a top few floors offering a penthouse variation of the typical stack floor plan. The biggest downer about Aria can be the view. If you'll review the Park Shore map, you'll notice Aria sits off the sand a little. Between the building and the sand is a beautiful park and depending on what stack you're in, you may have another building encumbrancing your view. Most of my luxury buyers are expecting a full sand and Gulf of Mexico view so if this is a deal killer for you and you can purchase in an older building, you might consider one of the other buildings on this list.
Enclave at Park Shore: Is one of my personal favorite beachfront high rises. The building was completed in 1991 which I think fools alot of people but let me tell you, the building concept is FABULOUS and depending on which unit you're in, you'll be hard pressed to guess the date of the building. All common areas have been remodeled and many of the individual units have been fabulously redecorated. There are several features that makes this building exceptional but the most obvious are the fact that you only share this building with 27 other owners. You will never share this pool with a million other people. The other part I love is each owner gets an entire floor so you will enjoy a magnificent panoramic view of beautiful Naples. Because this building is located right on the sand, you'll find you can almost inhale the Gulf of Mexico. Talk about being one with the ocean! The biggest deal killer I've found with other clients about Enclave is some people either don't want to do remodeling or the ceiling height gets to them a little bit. I still think if you can afford to stroke the check, you should at least check it out before making your final decision.
Le Rivage at Park Shore: WHAT A GEM! I absolutely adore this building. Talk about touching the sand! You will thoroughly enjoy the amenity package, floor plans and decor of this building. Again, this building is situated closest to the sand making your views of the Gulf unimaginable! I've never heard an ill word regarding the floor plans and although many prefer the south facing units, the north facing units are equally spectacular. If you're purchasing luxury beachfront in Naples and you do not afford yourself the opportunity to check out any available units in this building, you may kick yourself later. The deal killer for this building, if you can call it a deal killer is regardless of which unit you purchase, your primary view is going to be toward the Gulf of Mexico. So if you're looking for that straight on all water and all beach feel, this is it but keep in mind this view goes completely black at night due to the fact that we don't have very much boat traffic at night on the Gulf. Some of my clients in the past prefer more of a mixed Gulf and city view.
Regent at Park Shore: Some regard Regent at Park Shore as the absolute best of the best and with an outstanding floor plan and amenity package, it will be hard if not impossible to argue. While the feel of Le Rivage and Regent are in fact similar, you'll find Regent to be on a much larger scale and the orientation of your view is surprisingly different so don't expect to go into this building or Le Rivage and check it off like you've seen it all. Back to the orientation on the beach. If you review the Park Shore Map you will first see how Regent at Park Shore sits back a little bit from the sand making you first come to the conclusion that the view must not be as grand but if you look closer, you'll notice the Park Shore private beach is located directly to the south opening up this view indeed more than the typical expansive view you'll find at some of these other locations. The deal killer I find here is although I haven't had anyone snub their nose at any unit here, the price is typically hefty. It takes almost 6 to tiptoe into the building right now and even with that price, its a real deal!
There are other fabulous Park Shore buildings but these are, in my opinion, the absolute best of the best.
