What is the difference between South Beach, Mid-Beach, and Bal Harbour condos?

South Beach condos offer iconic oceanfront living in Miami Beach's most vibrant neighborhood, with buildings like Faena House, Apogee, and The Setai. Mid-Beach and Surfside offer more privacy and lower density, with exclusive buildings like Arte Surfside and Fendi Château Residences. Bal Harbour is a small, ultra-exclusive village with boutique oceanfront towers like Oceana Bal Harbour and St. Regis Bal Harbour, steps from the world-famous Bal Harbour Shops.

Are Miami Beach condos a good investment?

Miami Beach condos have historically been strong long-term investments, driven by Florida's zero state income tax, limited oceanfront land supply, robust rental markets, and consistent international demand from buyers in New York, California, Latin America, and Europe. Lisa Cohn provides expert building-specific investment guidance, including analysis of condo association financials, rental restrictions, and long-term appreciation potential.

Which Miami Beach condo buildings allow short-term rentals?

Rental policies vary significantly by building. Some South Beach buildings allow short-term rentals while others have minimum lease requirements of 6 months or 1 year. Lisa Cohn reviews each building's rules and regulations for clients and can identify which buildings best match your lifestyle and investment objectives.
