Brief General Description of Miami-Dade Neighborhoods
Florida rental properties of South Beach -- The Art Deco District South Beach's 10 miles of beach are
alive with Florida rental properties and a frenetic, circus like
atmosphere and are center stage for a motley crew of characters, from eccentric locals, seniors, snowbirds,
and college students to gender benders, celebrities, club kids, and curiosity-seekers: Individuality is
as widely accepted on South Beach as Visa and MasterCard.
Bolstered by a Caribbean-chic cafe society and a sexually charged, tragically hip nightlife,
people-watching on South Beach (1st St.-23rd St.) is almost as good as a front-row seat at a Milan fashion
show. And although the beautiful people do flock to South Beach, the models aren't the only sights worth
drooling over: The thriving Art Deco District within South Beach contains the largest concentration of Art
Deco Florida rental properties and architecture in the world (in 1979, much of South Beach was listed in
the National Register of Historic Places). The pastel-hued structures are supermodels in their own right --
only these models improve with age.
Florida rental properties of Miami Beach In the fabulous '50s, Miami Beach was America's true Riviera. The
stamping ground of choice for the Rat Pack and notorious mobsters such as Al Capone, its huge
self-contained resort hotels and Florida rental properties were vacations unto themselves, providing a
full day's worth of meals, activities, and entertainment. Then, in the 1960s and 1970s, people who fell
in love with Miami Florida rental properties began to buy apartments rather than rent hotel rooms. Tourism
declined, the Rat Pack fled to Vegas, Capone disappeared, and many area hotels fell into disrepair.
However, since the late 1980s and South Beach's renaissance, Miami Beach (24th St. and up) and its Florida
rental properties have experienced a tide of revitalization. Huge beach hotels and Florida rental
properties are finding their niche with new international tourist markets and are attracting large
convention crowds to their Florida rental properties. New generations of Americans are quickly
rediscovering the qualities that originally made Miami Beach Florida rental properties so popular, and
they are finding out that the sand and surf now come with a thriving international city.
Before Miami Beach turns into Surfside, there's North Beach, where there are uncrowded beaches, some
restaurants, and examples of Miami Modernism architecture.
Florida rental properties of Surfside, Bal Harbour, and Sunny Isles make up the north part of the beach
(island). Hotels, motels, Florida rental properties, restaurants, and beaches line Collins Avenue and, with
some outstanding exceptions, the farther north one goes, the cheaper lodging becomes. All told, excellent
prices, location, and facilities make Surfside and Sunny Isles attractive places to stay on Florida rental
properties, although, despite a slow-going renaissance, they are still a little rough around the edges.
However, revitalization is in the works for these areas, and, while it's highly unlikely they will ever
become as chic as South Beach, there is potential for this, especially as South Beach falls prey to the
inevitable spoiler: commercialism. Keep in mind that beachfront Florida rental properties are at a premium,
so many of the area's moderately priced hotels have been converted to condominiums, leaving fewer and fewer
affordable places to stay.
In exclusive and ritzy Bal Harbour, where well-paid police officers are instructed to ticket drivers who go
above the 30 mph speed limit, few hotels remain amid the many beachfront Florida rental properties and
condominium towers. Instead, fancy homes, tucked away on the bay, hide behind gated communities, and the
Rodeo Drive of Miami (known as the Bal Harbour Shops) attracts shoppers who don't flinch at four-, five-,
and six-figure price tags.
