Purchasing your dream condo involves many important decisions!

At Paradise Island, you’ll find two distinct styles of condos to choose from. Some are tall, high-rise complexes offering breathtaking views of the Gulf and the city, while others are low-density, 2-3 story buildings that give a more natural, grounded feel, with palm trees just outside your window.

Before making your choice, it’s essential to consider the environment you want to experience. If you’re drawn to high-rises, ask yourself: Would you prefer a higher floor with sweeping views, or a mid-level unit where you can enjoy a great view while still hearing the soothing sounds of the waves and birds?

Another factor to consider is proximity to the elevator. While being near the elevator can be convenient when hauling groceries or luggage, keep in mind it may also bring late-night noise from neighbors returning in “party mode” or celebrating a game.

Similarly, think about the location of the garbage chute. Most residents bag their trash, but on occasion, some don’t—and no one wants the smell of shrimp shells wafting through the halls!

Finally, if your condo overlooks the pool, it can be lively and fun during the day, but consider whether the noise from pool visitors might become disruptive in the evenings.

Of course, there are many other important factors to keep in mind, such as covered parking, pet policies, indoor pools, or boat slip availability. A knowledgeable Realtor will help you navigate these considerations to find the perfect condo for your needs.
