Where do you want to live?

The first question you want to ask yourself is, “Where do I want to live?” This may seem obvious, however, if you don’t know the area that you’re moving to, there may be cities, communities and areas that you like better than others.

Many Northerners find themselves wanting to move to Southwest Florida, but can’t decide between Bonita Springs, Naples, Estero, or Fort Myers. If that sounds like you, head to our “Best Luxury Cities Near Naples Florida” blog to learn more about the area.

Who is the developer?

When it comes to new construction condos in Southwest Florida, it’s important to know and trust the developer. During the construction process, buyers need to know that their purchase is a safe one.

A good way to tell if the developer is reliable is by looking at their past projects. If they worked on successful projects, especially in the same area as the new development, chances are you can tell if they will produce the same kind of success.

What is the condo’s timeline?

One of the most important questions to ask when buying a new construction condo in Southwest Florida is “When will it be done?” The excitement builds as the project goes up and it’s only natural to want to how soon you can move in.

Not only is the closing date important but knowing the full timeline can help you decide when you should plan your move or purchase new items for your condo or even schedule your interior design installation.

Top Five Reasons to Choose a Community with a Pickleball Court

For many Southwest Florida residents, pickleball has quickly become one of their favorite hobbies. This paddleball-like sport combines badminton with tennis and offers players a fun, cooperative and outdoor workout for people of all ages and skills to enjoy. If you’re looking for a new place to call home in Southwest Florida, here are five reasons you should choose a community with a pickleball court.

Workout

Pickleball is a great sport for overall fitness. The activity exercises all major muscle groups as well as providing an extremely well-rounded cardio workout. Due to the size of the court, players can enjoy the same health benefits from tennis but on a smaller scale. (Pickleball courts are 1/3rd the size of a standard tennis court.) Meaning, you don’t have to be a “gym-rat” to reap the benefits of a good workout when playing pickleball. 

Play at all levels

Not only can everyone experience a good workout by playing pickleball, but anyone can play regardless of their skill level. One of the main reasons this sport has taken off, is because it can be enjoyed by anyone from beginners to those who enjoy a professional competitive atmosphere. The strain and force needed to play are quite “knee-friendly” and it doesn’t require overexerting yourself every time you compete. This makes it the perfect addition to everything from retirement communities to college campuses.

Social 

Pickleball offers enthusiasts a unique social aspect to the Florida lifestyle, quite simply because you can’t play alone. Many communities meet, gather and schedule a time to play with others around the area. This way, even if you are moving from a different state, you can make Florida friends all while getting in a great workout.

In many Southwest Florida communities, residents can sign up for tournaments, charity events or scheduled pickup games so that they can “leave it all on the court.”

Growing Sport

The final reason that you should look for a community with a pickleball court is that pickleball is known as the “fastest-growing sport in America.” According to the Columbia Association, a health and fitness blog, the sport has gained over 2 million active players, or “picklers” in the past five years.
