Miami Beach

Miami Beach is a barrier island with two personalities: the South of Fifth and Sunset Islands set, where waterfront estates and full-service towers trade quietly, and the mid and north beach neighborhoods where you can still find a 1950s garden condo two blocks from the sand.

Buyers come here for the ocean, but they stay for the walkability. Lincoln Road, Española Way, and the Bass Museum are all on foot, and the Venetian Causeway puts Downtown Miami ten minutes away. Inventory ranges from studios in historic Deco buildings to eight-figure bayfront compounds, so pricing is entirely about proximity to water and the age of the building.
