The real estate that is on Miami Beach is vast. There are high rise condominiums, low rise condominiums, single family homes, town-homes and mansions.
When the media and other real estate statistics group all of Miami real estate into one big lump, unfortunately the numbers don’t really tell the entire truth.
Miami and Miami Beach are two different areas.
South Beach, Brickell, Downtown Miami & Midtown Miami although very close to each other are three different neighborhoods within the general “Miami” area and from there each individual building has it’s very own market data.
Miami Beach Neighborhoods also have many different “niche” areas and within each of these “niche” areas are buildings. Which creates another sub market.
What’s most important to understand is that although Miami Beach is a local residence for many, is also a second and third home for many wealthy locals and International business people. Due to it’s location, culture and style, it is a very desirable place for people to buy second homes as well as invest their money. Our real estate market although local, is not always driven by “locals”, many of our buyers are from wealthy countries and they have no problem paying cash for a multimillion dollar property on the ocean.
Some Miami Beach neighborhoods are “designated” while others are “made up nicknames” by locals over the years.
From south to north some of the most popular Miami Beach neighborhoods are:
- South Beach or SOBE
- South Beach is approximately located from 23rd street to 1st street and from the Atlantic Ocean to the Biscayne Bay.
View South Beach in a larger map- A neighborhood of South beach is called South of Fifth (SOFI). This neighborhood is one of the higher end luxury neighborhoods of Miami Beach featuring buildings like Continuum I, Continuum II, Portofino Towers, Apogee, Murano at Portofino, Murano Grande, ICON, South of Fifth, Bentley Beach, The Courts & Cosmopolitan.

- West Avenue/Bay Road
- Flamingo/Lummus
- Mid Beach/Millionaire’s Row
- Nautilus
- Alllison Island
- Biscayne Point
- Normandy Shores
Mid Beach and the islands are a little more residential and low key. Although these areas are still within minutes to South Beach and are still very urban compared to other beach towns, these areas feature more single family homes and large high rises. Many of the high rises have full service amenities featuring restaurants, spas and amenities that allow the residents to “live inside” the building.
One thing that about Miami Beach that most people do not know is that it really has something to offer everyone from local year round residents, tourists, investors, vacation home buyers and more. We have beaches, nightclubs, restaurants, shopping, local parks that Miami Beach residents can access for free (hockey, pool, after school activities and more), boating, retiree friendly activities and so much more. Miami Beach is often referred to as a “party town” and although we definitely have our fair share of parties, we are so much more than a big party. It’s a huge diverse community of people and a great one at that!
