Miami Beach, FL Real Estate Guide

South Beach is Miami's global icon — the Art Deco district, Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road on the island's southern square mile. Its condo market splits into distinct worlds: South of Fifth's luxury enclave (Continuum, Apogee, Murano, Portofino) at the island's tip, the West Avenue bayside corridor from the Mirador towers to Jean Nouvel's Monad Terrace, Sunset Harbour's marina quarter, and the oceanfront hotel-residences — the Setai, W South Beach, 1 Hotel & Homes — along Collins.

Mid-Beach and North Beach are Miami Beach beyond the South Beach crowds — Millionaire's Row's oceanfront wall from the Fontainebleau to La Gorce, the Faena District's arts quarter, and North Beach's neighborhood blocks toward Ocean Terrace. The corridor mixes grand 1960s condominiums (Imperial House, Maison Grande, Seacoast) with the modern landmarks: Faena House, 57 Ocean, the EDITION and Ritz-Carlton residences, and the Carillon's wellness towers.

Fisher Island is America's most exclusive ZIP code — a 216-acre private island off the tip of Miami Beach, reachable only by ferry, helicopter or yacht, built around the Vanderbilt era estate that became the Fisher Island Club. Its residences wrap the island in villages — Seaside's oceanfront villas, Bayside and Bayview on the bay, Marina Village at the yacht basin, Oceanside's beachfront, and the Palazzo trio that brought new construction back to the island — all sharing the club's golf, marinas, beach club and private school.
