Miami Beach is always one of the most fascinating parts of
Miami-Dade. It brings together an
eclectic and diverse mix of residents and visitors with one thing in common –
to be close to the water and to live in the middle of excitement and constant
fun.
If you are thinking of buying in Miami Beach, list prices
start just over $100K for studios in quaint, classic Miami Beach condominiums
and climb all the way up to $30,000,000 for massive penthouse residences that
