Parkshore, completed in 2017, is a contemporary 3-story condominium complex situated in the heart of downtown Juneau. This 90-unit building offers residents a prime location to experience the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Alaska's capital city. With its central position, Parkshore provides easy access to local amenities while maintaining a comfortable living environment for its diverse community of residents.
Spacious units with custom touches and scenic views
Parkshore offers a range of two-bedroom units, varying from 1,250 to 1,375 square feet. These homes are priced between $366,698 and $409,900, catering to a variety of budgets. The larger units feature two full bathrooms, while some of the smaller units have been creatively designed to maximize space efficiency.
Many units have undergone thoughtful renovations, showcasing the pride of ownership within the building. Some standout features include custom upgrades in kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms. Residents can enjoy stone countertops, built-in oak shelving, and updated fireplace surrounds with new tile, hearths, and mantles. Bathrooms have been modernized with new fixtures, including stained-glass mirrors in some units.
The condos boast open floor plans, allowing for a seamless flow between living and dining areas. Many units feature enclosed sunrooms, providing additional living space and offering spectacular views of the surrounding area, including glimpses of the water and the iconic Tahku Whale Statue. Some units have been designed with the highest ceilings in the complex, further enhancing the sense of spaciousness.
Attention to detail is evident throughout, with features such as blonde wood laminate floors, new window trims, and floor-to-ceiling kitchen cabinets in select units. Stainless steel appliances are standard, and some kitchens have been updated with custom pantries. For added comfort, residents can choose from multiple heating options, including heated bathroom floors, Comfort Cove electrical heat, and pellet stoves in some units.
Convenient facilities for an active lifestyle
Parkshore offers a range of amenities designed to enhance the living experience of its residents. The building features a recreation center equipped with a full kitchen, providing an ideal space for community gatherings and private events. For those looking to maintain an active lifestyle, there is workout equipment available on-site.
The building is designed with comfort and convenience in mind. Residents enjoy 24-hour access to the building, and each unit is equipped with individual climate control systems, including air conditioning and heating. The smoke-free environment promotes a healthy living space for all residents.
For added convenience, each unit comes with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a refrigerator, oven, and microwave. Tub/shower combinations in the bathrooms provide both functionality and comfort.
Storage solutions are abundant at Parkshore. Each unit has access to a lockable storage locker, and additional storage space is available inside the carports. This feature is particularly valuable for residents who enjoy outdoor activities and need space for seasonal gear.
While Parkshore may not have some of the more luxurious amenities found in high-end complexes, it offers practical and useful features that cater well to its residents' needs, making it an attractive option for those seeking comfortable living in downtown Juneau.
A vibrant downtown setting with natural beauty at your doorstep
Parkshore is ideally situated in the heart of downtown Juneau, offering residents the perfect blend of urban convenience and natural splendor. The neighborhood is characterized by its walkable streets, historic charm, and proximity to both essential services and recreational opportunities.
Just steps from the building, residents can access the scenic Seawalk, a waterfront promenade that offers stunning views of the Gastineau Channel and the surrounding mountains. The iconic Tahku Whale Statue, a symbol of Juneau's rich maritime heritage, is located across from the building, serving as a constant reminder of the area's natural beauty and wildlife.
For daily necessities, the Foodland IGA grocery store is conveniently located about a 5-minute walk from Parkshore. This proximity allows residents to easily pick up groceries and household items without the need for transportation. For those seeking organic and specialty foods, Rainbow Foods is about a 15-minute walk away, offering a wide selection of health-conscious options.
The neighborhood is dotted with an array of local shops and services. Treetop Tees, a popular gift shop, is within walking distance for those looking for unique Alaskan souvenirs. Clothing stores like Cordova's and Boheme offer a mix of practical and fashionable options for residents.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to several parks. The Whale Project and Mayor Bill Overstreet Park are just a short 5-minute walk away, providing green spaces for relaxation and recreation. Cope Park, about a 10-minute walk from Parkshore, offers additional outdoor amenities including tennis courts and walking trails.
For those interested in cultural experiences, the Alaska State Library & Historical Collections is a 10-minute walk from the building, offering a wealth of information about Alaska's rich history. The Juneau Public Library, located about a 20-minute walk away, provides additional resources for reading and research.
Dining options in the neighborhood cater to various tastes. Pel'meni, a local favorite known for its Russian dumplings, is just a 15-minute walk from Parkshore, offering a unique culinary experience at an affordable price point.
The neighborhood's character is shaped by its mix of residential and commercial spaces, creating a lively atmosphere that still maintains a sense of community. The presence of government buildings and tourist attractions adds to the area's dynamic feel, especially during the summer months when cruise ships dock nearby.
Well-connected with multiple public transit options
Parkshore's downtown location provides residents with various transportation options, making it easy to navigate Juneau and beyond. The area's relatively high walk score reflects the convenience of having many amenities within walking distance, reducing the need for frequent use of other transportation methods.
Public transportation is readily accessible from Parkshore. Several bus stops are located within a 5-minute walk of the building, serving multiple routes. The stop at Willoughby Avenue and D Street, near the Foodland IGA, is particularly convenient, offering access to six different bus lines including the Douglas, Downtown/Valley Express, Egan Express, Lemon Creek Commuter, and both clockwise and counterclockwise Mendenhall Loop routes. This variety of bus lines allows residents to easily reach different parts of Juneau without the need for a personal vehicle.
For those who prefer cycling, the area's moderate bike score suggests that while not all destinations may be easily accessible by bike, there are still opportunities for cyclists. The relatively flat terrain of downtown Juneau is conducive to biking for short trips or leisure rides along the waterfront.
While owning a car is not strictly necessary for Parkshore residents due to the walkable nature of downtown Juneau and the available public transportation, those who do have vehicles will find the building's carports and storage lockers convenient for parking and storing their automobiles.
For travel outside of Juneau, the Juneau International Airport is approximately 10 miles away, or about a 25-minute drive. While not within walking distance, the airport is easily accessible by car or airport shuttle services, providing connections to other parts of Alaska and beyond.
It's worth noting that Juneau's unique geography means that the city is not connected to the mainland road system. As a result, travel to and from Juneau is primarily by air or sea. The Alaska Marine Highway System, which operates ferries connecting various coastal communities, has a terminal in Juneau, offering an alternative method of transportation for longer trips within Southeast Alaska.
