Park Shore Condos, Naples, FL
Park Shore consistently produces a high percentage of the area's high condo sales. Park Shore's popularity is the result of the beachfront condo buildings being on the sand and the walkability to several restaurants and high-end shopping opportunities. Venetian Village is about a 2-7 minute walk depending on what building you are in.

Moorings & Coquina Sands Condos, Naples, FL
The Moorings is located just to the south of Park Shore and continues south of Doctors Pass. Coquina Sands is smaller and is essentially a continuation of the Moorings. Moorings and Coquina have an Old Florida feel with beachfront condo buildings up to 8 stories tall versus the 20+ story highrise buildings in the nearby neighborhoods. Although there have been a few redevelopments, most of the buildings are older but they are well maintained and essentially on the sand. Many of the building's swimming pools are so close to the sand that they are grandfathered in as new buildings require greater setbacks.
•Age of Beachfront Buildings: 1968-2003 (majority 1970's)
•Price Point: $500,000 to $7,000,000
•Security: Most of the buildings are not gated but they do have front desk personnel and security cameras

Pelican Bay Condos, Naples, FL
The main section of Pelican Bay has a layer of mangroves between the condo buildings and the sand and therefore it is about a 10-15 minute walk through the mangrove boardwalk to the sand. There is also a tram that comes every few minutes that can take you to the beach a bit faster. The nice thing about Pelican Bay is that unlike Park Shore, Moorings & Naples Cay, once you get to the sand there is a beach club waiting for you with beach chairs, umbrellas, and food & beverage service with your toes in the sand! There are also 2 private restaurants on the sand available only to Pelican Bay residents.

Hi, my name is Sean Lorch and I grew up in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. I started in the business as a real estate appraiser and then became a real estate agent. I founded Northwest Suburban Real Estate in 2006. After realizing how much I disliked the cold weather, in 2015 I moved to Naples, FL where I help folks buy and sell real estate near the beach and in golf course communities. I take pride in my information-rich, pressure-light approach. Reach out to me anytime to talk shop.
