Guides · Bal Harbour
A quiet luxury enclave beside a famous shopping village
Bal Harbour is a small, tightly planned village on the oceanfront between Surfside and Bay Harbor Islands, best known for the Bal Harbour Shops and its beachfront luxury towers. There are no single-family streets on the ocean side; the village is a condo and hotel community with a strict, low-rise character. Buyers here want privacy, a walk to the shops, and direct beachfront in one of the most exclusive addresses in Florida.
The question to ask
Do you want the oceanfront tower life, and how much do the shops and the village's quiet matter versus a livelier beach town?
