High rise living – exciting as it is – isn’t for everybody. The dazzling, “over the water” low-rise residences in The Tropics, appeal to the more terrestrial loving set who want to live on the waterfront in the elegant Park Shore area of Naples. The Tropics is a gated community of just 33 residences, and such a low density setting is quite rare in this prime location. Each of the three buildings in the complex is only 3 stories high, giving The Tropics a feeling of coziness and intimacy unmatched along this marvelous stretch of Gulf Shore Boulevard.
The Tropics was built in 1988 by Algonquin Development, and the eye-catching architectural style blends  Mediterranean structure with a dash of Key West attitude. Light, bright, and “airy,” this stylish complex is well maintained. Situated and built out literally over Venetian Bay, the residences here boast spectacular waterscape views. This is Southwest Florida living at its best – you can purchase or lease a slip for your boat right along the Bay, or visit the Venetian Village, where you can enjoy upscale shopping and fine dining. Forget your car keys; everything is within walking distance, including the sugar sand beaches across Gulf Shore Boulevard.
Residences in The Tropics are rarely offered for sale on the MLS. It is possible to buy into this development for under $1,000,000 in certain instances, under current market conditions. These charming and well appointed apartments live and feel like cottages on the bay, or villa style homes on the water – reminiscent of the French Riviera, or the Italian coastline. The condominiums range in size from approximately 1,450 to 1,850 square feet in living area under a/c. The association fees are relatively low for this location. Features and amenities at The Tropics include:
-
2 to 3 bedrooms
-
both screened and  unscreened lanais
-
spectacular community pool overlooking Venetian Bay
-
1 assigned, covered parking spot
-
deeded beach access across the street

extra storage
-
gated access, with entry phone
-
access to 1 ¼ mile long lighted promenade along Park Shore beach
-
opportunity to buy or lease boat slip by joining the Venetian Bay Yacht Club
-

The gorgeous community pool, complete with panoramic views of Venetian Bay, has one of the most picturesque views of any such pool along Gulf Shore Boulevard. Sunsplashed, but with the advantage of cooling breezes off the bay, the pool is sure to provide you with zen-like moments of serenity.
Without question, The Tropics is located in one of the “sexiest” parts of Naples. Match your preference in home style, with a waterfront luxury lifestyle, in Park Shore. Not interested in living in a high rise tower, or spending what it takes for a single family home near the beach, but still want to be able to “walk to it all?” The low rise, upscale residences in The Tropics may be just right for you.
