Homes for Sale in South Miami Beach

Homes for Sale in South Beach Miami

South Beach is the most recognized neighborhood in Miami Beach — and one of the most competitive real estate markets in Florida. Homes for sale in South Beach Miami range from Art Deco-era condos on Collins Avenue to single-family estates in South of Fifth, with everything from pre-war studios to full-floor luxury penthouses in between. Zip code 33139 covers the full South Beach market.

What the South Beach Market Looks Like

South Beach Miami homes for sale break down into a few distinct submarkets. The Art Deco Historic District along Ocean Drive and Collins Avenue between 5th and 23rd streets offers smaller condos in architecturally significant buildings, many with short-term rental licenses that attract investors alongside owner-occupants. The mid-corridor along Washington Avenue and Meridian Avenue has a denser condo market at varying price points. Lincoln Road and the Flamingo neighborhood provide walkable urban living with larger floor plans.

South of Fifth (SoFi) is the most desirable pocket within South Beach — a quieter, residential enclave below 5th Street with direct access to South Pointe Park, the marina, and some of the most expensive single-family and condo inventory in the city. Buildings like Apogee, Continuum, and Murano at Portofino sit in this corridor.
