The Park Shore community in Naples is known as one of the most ambitious planned developments in the entire state. The site of the neighborhood covers more than 700 acres and includes over a mile of beachfront. This planned community began as a project of Raymond Lutgert, who bought the land in the early 1960s. Development started in the 1970s and 1980s and continues (on a much smaller scale) to this day.
As locations go, this one is five stars! Steps from the Gulf, a quick stroll from Olde Naples and nearby to many amenities, this has been a sought-after community for snowbirds and those seeking the Florida lifestyle for decades.
This neighborhood is just past its 50-year anniversary but clearly has many more years of sunsets and enjoyment to share with its residents.

Downtown Naples is located just nearby and provides year-round activities such as holiday parades and art festivals. There is even an annual car show, where locals bring out their fancy sports cars and show off their Ferraris, Lamborghinis, and Teslas.
