Moving to Florida? Here's why you should buy a luxury condo

by Jennifer Johansen 05/15/2018

It’s finally happening. You’re moving to Florida where the weather is warm, the beaches are aplenty and there’s no snow to be found. This move isn’t just about the weather, it’s about a way of life. You can slow down, relax and enjoy life. Which is exactly why a luxury condo is a perfect home for your new lifestyle.

Upscale condos come with all the luxury of a house without the responsibility of outdoor maintenance. You can enjoy the unique amenities of your building without worrying about cleaning gutters, having a lawn to mow or any landscaping to upkeep. It’s all taken care of for you while you get to enjoy the local greens or lying under a cabana.

Front desk and security. You have the added peace of mind to know that you have someone monitoring who is coming and going throughout the building. Many condos have front desk services that include concierge and valet. One phone call and you have dinner reservations and your car upfront to whisk you away for a night out on the town.

Pool and private beach access. Does anything feel as luxurious as laying out in the sun listening to the calming sound of the ocean? Upscale condos can offer features such as an infinity pool, private beach, roof deck, and cabanas. All you have to do is decide which you want the most.  

Golf courses. As the state with the most golf courses, you will have plenty of time to perfect your putting stroke. And with over 1000 courses, why shouldn’t one of them be in your own backyard? Investing in an upscale condo that includes greens among its amenities can make this dream a reality.

Multiple private parking spaces. What’s true luxury? Never having to drive around to find a parking spot. Many upscale condos understand that multiple cars is a part of your lifestyle. So whether you need multiple spots for you and your spouse or for your BMW and Cadillac you’ll find plenty of condos ready to deliver.

A gym and indoor pool. If staying in shape is a top priority for you why pay membership fees when you can have exercise facilities in your own building? Look for a condo offering a gym, classes and even an Olympic size pool to stay in peak shape. This is one of the most common amenities condos offer so you shouldn’t have to look too hard.

Of course, all of these things are nice to have but the real key to luxury is a smart investment. Consider which amenities you will value and use the most. Whether you’re looking forward to a life cruising around the city in your cars or reading by the pool, Florida knows why everyone is looking to move to its beautiful coast. And it provides accordingly. Which luxe options will you choose?
