Best Miami Luxury Condos

After some much searching around the best Condos, we built a specific search around the best Condos going directly to our extensive articles on the best Condos in Miami.

Relocating to Miami

Since 2020 we have seen mass migration of New Yorkers, Californians, and other state residents to Miami. This has brought about many questions from those residents new to Miami who are trying to find answers to their questions. We cover these questions in this section. What are the best neighborhoods?, What are the best neighborhoods for families? or What to know about every neighborhood in 5 minutes?

Private Schools

One of the biggest challenges in moving to Miami is getting kids into private schools. For many buyers finding a house or Condo is the easy part! Getting their kids into private schools is the hard part. For this reason, we have articles on; the best private schools, commuter times to schools, and interviews with admission counselors.

Investing within Miami Real Estate News

Every real estate purchase is a real estate investment, but for many clients 'investing in Miami' means either 'fix and flip' or 'buy and rent'. We cover timing and the 1031 exchange procedure.

Gated Communities within Miami Real Estate News

Others have tight security and will only give access to those invited: Tahiti Beach and Indian Creek Island.

Waterfront Communities

Luxury Homes and Luxury Condos

Miami is home to many luxury homes and luxury Condos. These blogs will cover specific Condos and neighborhoods. Exploring the performance, assessing changes in the environment around these, and much more.

New Construction Condos

Our expert knowledge in new Construction Condos is unparalleled. We have written 'independent reports' on almost every new condo across Miami and Fort Lauderdale. Our independent reports typically look at what we like and don't like about the project. We delve into the best lines and consider the developer marketing around the project and whether we believe they can actually pull it off! Every developer will try and tell you that their project is the best, which can leave buyers confused. Some developer marketing is just purely misdirected.

We are honest and direct and will openly tell buyers if we think they can deliver. We also look at the geographical aspects of these projects and whether they are indeed located in a prime location or not. Additionally, we believe that no project is perfect. There are some lines that we like in a project and some we do not. We also recognize and talk about who the building is a good fit for. Is it good for second homeowners or primary buyers? There is an overwhelming choice of Condos for the untrained eye, but once you apply the size you need, budget, and lifestyle we can typically narrow these down to just a few. Finally, we compare Miami's new construction condos to Fort Lauderdale's condos.
