Guides · Sunny Isles Beach
The oceanfront condo corridor north of Bal Harbour
Sunny Isles Beach is a narrow barrier-island city where Collins Avenue runs a continuous wall of oceanfront condominium towers, from older family buildings to the branded luxury towers of the current wave. It has direct beach access essentially everywhere, a named-family-dining feel, and easy reach to Aventura's mall and the Intracoastal. Buyers here compare towers, not streets, and the current pipeline is among the most active in South Florida.
The question to ask
Which generation of tower fits you: an older building with low fees and resale value, or a branded new tower with current design and higher fees?
