About
Roughly seven miles of barrier island make up Miami Beach. Ocean Drive and the Art Deco Historic District hold down its southern end, while Mid-Beach is known for mid-century towers set on larger lots. Up in North Beach, older low-rise buildings share the streets with newer construction. On the ocean side, one public beach runs unbroken from end to end; across the island, the Intracoastal shore is lined with marinas and waterfront parks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on buying and investing here
What is Miami Beach known for?
Miami Beach's barrier-island setting and its Art Deco Historic District, at the south tip. Heading north, the Mid-Beach and North Beach zones are calmer than the south.
Can I buy a house in Miami Beach, or only condos?
In a few places. Condos are most of the island's homes. Single-family pockets sit in Mid-Beach and North Beach. Hotel-condos cluster near the south tip.
Where do I find landmarks and amenities in Miami Beach?
Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive and the Art Deco Historic District anchor the south end of Miami Beach. Farther up the island, Mid-Beach and North Beach have quieter parks and residential streets.
What should I check before buying in Miami Beach?
Flood zones and building rules can shift from one block to the next. For the exact address, pull the FEMA flood zone and the elevation certificate, and go through each building's rules on rentals and renovations.
How do I get around Miami Beach?
Riding the Miami Beach Trolley costs nothing, and its loops cover South Beach, Middle Beach and North Beach. The Collins Express extends the reach to 88th Street. Prefer to walk? Beachwalk follows the shoreline for about seven miles, from South Pointe Park to 87th Terrace.
