Condos in Miami
The most difficult part about shopping for condos in Miami is narrowing down the search, because the city and Miami-Dade County in general have some of the best condos in the United States, when it comes to location and amenities.
Of course, price and location are always among the most important issues to considering when shopping for a condo. But there are condos available in nearly every neighborhood and price range. In the past 20 years, the skyline of Downtown Miami has been transformed by the numerous high-rise condo towers have sprouted up, and the same has occurred in communities throughout the county. The pace of construction has slowed somewhat in recent years because of the downturn in the economy, but there are more than enough to choose from. And the upside to a bad economy for buyers is that real estate costs have come down considerably across the board.
If living amid the hustle and bustle of Downtown Miami doesn’t interest you, there are many other neighborhoods to choose from too, including Brickell and Coconut Grove, and numerous other attractive communities throughout Miami-Dade County, including Aventura, Sunny Isles Beach, Miami Beach and others.
Of course, beachfront condos are among the most sought after, and usually the most expensive, but the great thing about condos in Miami, or Miami-Dade County in general is that no matter where you live, you are never too far from the beach.

The same can be said for shopping and dining opportunities, and the vibrant nightlife and culture of the area is always within easy reach too. Some of the most upscale condos in Miami are in resort-like communities such as Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, both located on barrier islands just minutes from Miami, but far enough away to feel like an escape from the city.

 Sunny Isles Beach is in northeast Miami-Dade County, between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, on an island between the Intercoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean. Such well known developers as Donald Trump have built fantastic high-rises along the main street of Collins Avenue, within steps of ocean beaches and sheltered marinas.

Collins Avenue also runs south through Sunny Isles to the nearby island community of Miami Beach, situated between Biscayne Bayand the Atlantic Ocean. Most of the condos there are within sight of its world-famous South Beach.

If you are not ready to buy condos in Miami just yet, either as a primary residence or as investment property, there are other options. Many condo developments, including the most upscale, have condos for rent, either on a short- or long-term basis.
