To see your new home on a computer screen is one thing, but to be able to actually walk into it and experience it first hand is quite another.

That’s why Allura, the new luxury apartment community located at the southeast corner of Livingston Road and Veterans Memorial Boulevard, has been North Naples’ busiest destination during the past month.

Rather than studying a floor plan or clicking on renderings and photographs, prospective tenants visiting Allura have been experiencing the livability of its apartment residences and getting an immediate feel for what it would be like to live there.

“It was early May when we opened our furnished 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom models,” said Catherine Trucksess, Asset Manager for Stock Luxury Apartment Living, a division of Stock Development. “Since then, the traffic to our onsite sales gallery has increased significantly, as has the number of individuals and couples signing leases and becoming tenants.”

According to Trucksess, the creative design team that inspired the furnished models at Allura are from the award-winning firm of Forum Architecture & Interior Design of Altamonte Springs, Florida.

“Their interior design adds both warmth and color to our two models,” noted Trucksess.  “Those that have toured our models have been very impressed with their visual appeal and livability. The models also include so many elegant touches and premier interior amenities that the easiest and most effective way to showcase them is by seeing and experiencing them personally. I’m happy to say our furnished models do that exceptionally well.”

Visitors to Allura also love the fact the residences feature a wine cooler in the kitchen, were designed with big windows which make the interior space light and bright, and the fact the residences do not have carpet. The incredible onsite amenities have also impressed all who have toured the community.

Both models overlook the community’s tropically landscaped pool area. The one-bedroom/one-bath plan has 800 total square feet. The two-bedroom/two-bath plan has 1,100 total square feet. Similar floor plans to the models are available for immediate occupancy in Building 1, which was completed in mid-April.

“To be specific, we still have one-, two- and even three-bedroom floor plans available in Building 1 for anyone or any couple that requires or prefers to move-in immediately,” noted Trucksess.

In addition to the two furnished models, Allura’s clubhouse and all its amenities are also open and available to be used by residents.

As for the community’s second residential building, it is currently set to be completed in early June.

For the record, the first two residential buildings at Allura overlook the highly amenitized clubhouse and resort level pool-courtyard, which will feature the massive pool with lap lanes, expansive sun deck with entertaining lounge, private cabanas, three grill stations and a fire lounge.

Inside the 18,000-square-foot clubhouse, residents enjoy all that can be expected from Stock Luxury Apartment Living – and more.

Those amenities include a movie theatre, demonstration kitchen, resident lounge and sports bar, full-sized bowling alley, game and card room, and golf simulator all with 24-hour resident access.

Perhaps the busiest part of the clubhouse will be the 3,000-square-foot fitness center. It will feature state-of-the-art weight training and cardio equipment with virtual training programs and a playroom for the little ones.

Nearby is an oversized covered veranda, a tot lot, dog parks for small and large pets, a community garden and a walking/biking path around a lake.

“Due to the vast number of popular amenities that have been thoughtfully selected throughout the community, paired with the superior North Naples location, we’ve been able to attract a wide demographic of residents,” said Trucksess. “Everyone from young single professionals to middle-aged couples with and without children, and even active retirees are discovering that the perfect life awaits them at Allura.”

Allura is a private, gated, pet-friendly community and features 3-story buildings with elevators. Beautifully designed one, two and three bedroom apartment homes will be available in a variety of floorplan options.

The one-bedroom/one-bath plans range from 784 to 838 square feet. The two-bedroom/two-bath plans range from 1,096 to 1,167 square feet.  The three-bedroom/two-bath plans have either 1,363 or 1,373 square feet.

Inside the apartment homes, residents will enjoy 9-foot, 4-inch ceilings, contemporary wood-style floorings, spacious walk-in closets, balconies and patios, high-speed internet and smart lock technology, carefully crafted kitchens with oversized islands including USB charging ports.

Additionally, each home will include energy-efficient stainless-steel appliance packages including flat-top ranges, side-by-side refrigerators, built-in beverage/wine coolers, two-toned modern cabinetry, quartz countertops and under-mount farm-style sinks.

Monthly rents at Allura start in the low-$2,000.
