Where are the best penthouses in Naples?

The most sought-after are in the beachfront towers of Bay Colony, Park Shore and Vanderbilt Beach, the Gulf-view towers of Pelican Bay, and Naples' new branded and boutique developments, where full-floor penthouses are most common.

Is every listing called a penthouse on the top floor?

No. Some buildings label their top two or three floors as penthouses. Floor number, ceiling height, terrace size and elevator access are better guides than the label.

Who maintains a penthouse rooftop terrace?

It depends on the condominium documents. In some buildings the owner is responsible for the terrace surface while the association maintains the roof below it; in others the association handles both. Confirm before purchasing.

What should I check about a penthouse in hurricane season?

Ask whether elevators have generator backup, confirm that windows and doors are rated for the wind exposure at that height, and review how the building fared in recent storms and what the association's insurance covers.

Can I buy a penthouse that is not listed?

Often. Many Naples penthouses sell privately between owners and brokers who know the buildings. Tell us what you are looking for and we will let you know what is available on and off the market.
