Miami Beach Condos for Sale

When you first think about Miami Beach, it’s not uncommon for the first thing that comes to mind to be South Beach (SoBe) - and for good reason. Now as much as we adore this iconic part of our city, it’s far from the only place that is worth living or visiting. And for those searching for all of the benefits of SoBe, but with a slightly slower pace of life together with a bit more of a relaxed atmosphere, we recommend North Beach (NoBe).

Starting at around the 63 block of Collins Ave, North Beach is home to a wide variety of residential communities, recreational areas, shopping, and of course, seemingly endless sandy white beaches. From low rise buildings, holding on to that quintessential Art Deco and MiMo style, to modern condominiums with every amenity you could imagine, NoBe is becoming an increasingly popular destination for families, retirees, young professionals, and just about everyone in between. So if you’re considering moving to Miami Beach, but you’re not sure if the hustle and excitement of South Beach is for you, you’re still very much in luck.

Today we’re outlining two of our favoritecondo communities: Akoyaand Eighty Seven Park. Though thesebuildings are quite different within themselves, they hold something in majorcommon that we love: stunning views of the ocean that emphasize one of thebiggest reasons we love this community.

Miami Beach Condos: AKOYA

Akoya is located at 6365 Collins Avenue, near the point where many consider it to be the transition from Mid Beach to North Beach. Built in the early 2004, it was the tallest beachfront property at the time and today it is the 3rd largest residential building in Miami Beach. It has a striking design that echoes the ‘blue and green diamond’ buildings close-by, owing to a shared originator.

As with the Blue and Green buildings, it wasalso one of the first buildings to feature penthouse pools, which together witha gym overlooking the ocean, make it a truly desirable option for the outdooror fit-focused adult or family. And with one of the few areas that is zoned for30-day rentals, it is also a great spot for those who plan to live elsewherefor part of the year.

Some additional amenities at Akoya include:

  • Indoor Racquetball and SquashCourts

  • Tennis Courts

  • Steam Room

  • Putting Green

  • Porte Cochere Entry

What makes this building an even better optionfor families on top of everything inside, is its outside proximity to both thebeach and the SabrinaCohen Park - an inclusive playground designed forchildren of all ages and abilities to enjoy themselves. Couple this with anaverage price in the $900’s and you’ve found the best waterfront value for yourhome and your family in the area. Be sure to check out the local North Beach area schools to seelocal educational options.

 IfAkoya sounds like it could be the right fit for your family, here are the available listings.

Miami Beach Condos: EIGHTY SEVEN PARK

For lovers of architecture and luxury, Eighty Seven Park, located at 8701 Collins Ave, is the perfect solution. Designed by award winning architect Renzo Piano, this building combines everything you could ever want in terms of both style and convenience. Piano, who also designed famous buildings like The Shard in London or The New York Times Building in New York City strived to create a residence that would be luxurious and artful but without being flashy or distracting from the natural beauty of the region. And unlike his more commercial designs, as seen in the Art Institute of Chicago or The Whitney Museum, Eighty Seven Park is the first major condominium tower that he designed in the United States and the only one in Miami Beach.
