Flood zoneX · AE · VE — Flood zones can change from one parcel to the next, so look up the FEMA zone for the exact property you're considering. If that property is in an A or V zone, a mortgage from a federally regulated lender will require flood insurance.

About
Few places in the world have as much Art Deco architecture as South Beach, where pastel hotels line Ocean Drive across from the public beach. A few blocks to the north, Lincoln Road Mall is a pedestrian shopping street. In the Art Deco Historic District, the low-rise buildings are subject to the city's historic-preservation review. Along Collins Avenue and Washington Avenue, restaurants, galleries and nightlife venues fill the street-level spaces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions on buying and investing here
What puts South Beach on the map?
South Beach, Miami Beach's historic Art Deco district, is anchored by the pastel hotels on Ocean Drive, the public beach behind them, and the pedestrian Lincoln Road Mall.
Which kinds of property can I buy in South Beach?
Older low-rise Art Deco stock, part of it converted to condos. Nearer the water, you also get luxury towers built more recently and hotel-condo units.
What are South Beach's main landmarks and amenities?
The big draws: the Art Deco Historic District on Ocean Drive, Lincoln Road Mall and a beach open to everyone. For dining and retail, head to Collins and Washington Avenues, which are lined with both.
What should I check before making an offer in South Beach?
Before you make an offer, find out two things: how much the preservation rules let you change on the outside of an Art Deco building, and whether short-term rentals are allowed, which depends on both the building's own rules and the city ordinance.
How do residents get around South Beach?
Most errands here take a short walk. Plenty of residents ride bikes, since the street grid carries little traffic, and the city's trolley links South Beach with the rest of Miami Beach.
