Miami Beach Real Estate

Miami  Beach, Miami is a huge city resort, world renowned for its tropical weather, white sandy beaches, and its bustling night life. Shops, cafes, and home-style restaurants litter the city, and many who visit are so impressed that they obtain a permanent or summer home there. American and international tourists alike are drawn to the entertainments of South Beach, and there is plenty of entertainment with most businesses running throughout the day and night. Many places within South Beach are worth the visit, such as the Art Deco style hotels in Ocean Drive, or how Lummus Park is well known for being the scenic location for many television series such as “Miami Vice” and “Burn Notice”.

One area in particular has become a very vibrant destination for tourists and homebuyers alike. SoFi, or “South of Fifth street”, is an area that possesses some of the most exclusive and high-class condominiums in the city. Glittering glass towers such as the Apogee and The Continuum buildings are a sight to behold, and the property value within SoFi is so high that it alone makes up nearly 18% of the residential tax within Miami Beach. These multi-million dollar high rises are spread throughout Southern Miami Beach, and many are owned by wealthy business people and big-name celebrities.

Although mostly residential, SoFi also holds many light commercial areas as well. Nightclubs are in abundance, such as the Opium Garden, Nikki Beach Club, and Pearl. Much of the commercial businesses in SoFi are restaurants, with delectable buffets such as the Nemo restaurant, or the charm of fine dining such as the Smith and Wollensky steak house. Many excellent restaurants can be found within SoFi, and a great way to enjoy great food is to enjoy the sights, sounds, and activities of the famed South Beach of Miami.
