Miami Beach's South Beach Community

South Beach is one of the most recognized areas of Miami Beach, Florida. This area of the community is renowned for its bustling activity, its vibrant population and the diversity it attracts. Of course, the warm tropical waters have a lot to do with its popularity but there is much more to South Beach and to Miami Beach as a whole that make this area popular with people from all over the world. The area enjoys an advantageous geographic location that affords it proximity to some of the most pleasant waterways in the US.

South beach is situated on a barrier island. The island separates the Atlantic Ocean from Biscayne Bay. The area was recognized as a good place for development early on and, in 1910, development began on this beach. It quickly became a booming economy and enjoyed great popularity due to the beachfront location. While this area is associated with an upscale, beach lifestyle, it did originally start out as a coconut farm in the 1800’s. The name South Beach, in fact, was given to it by one of the original owners who used this land for agricultural purposes.

South Beach is well-known as being home to some fantastic Art Deco architecture. This development started in the 1920’s and is still present on Miami Beach in the form of the Art Deco District. This area is recognized for the piece of history it represents and it’s on the National Register of Historic Places. It remains a popular touring area for visitors and, oftentimes, is one of the most enchanting places to visit on the island. This development has always attracted the rich and famous and that has consistently been a part of its appeal.

South Beach did have a downturn that peaked in the 1980’s. As is the case with all markets, the area did recover but South Beach’s recovery was remarkable for its vigor and for its longevity. Today, the area is one of the most exclusive places in Miami-Dade county and has enjoyed an urban renewal the likes of which is seldom seen. The community has continued booming and has again become a hotbed of celebrity and well-heeled residents. In fact, it was the leaders in the fashion industry who were principally responsible for South Beach’s return to its forefront position among the nation’s upscale areas and, since the renewal began, it has not slowed.

Even in very desirable areas, the recent changes in the real estate market have left both buyers and sellers a bit nervous. The adjustments that took place in 2007—also called the real estate crunch—represented an inevitable function of the markets.

When one thinks of most any of the neighborhoods located on Miami-Dade County’s barrier islands, they understandably—and justifiably—think upscale.

By: Leon Belenky | 07/12/2009 | Real Estate
One of the most attractive things about purchasing property in Florida is the fact that oceanfront views are available from so many different locations.

Today, the situation is a bit different and even less-than-affluent individuals may be able to find a deal on an oceanfront property that will represent a huge move upwards in lifestyle.

Condominium Property and the Real Estate Crunch

By: Leon Belenky | 07/12/2009 | Real Estate
Since 2007, a great deal of the news has been hysteria over the steep decline in real estate values. There is a definite upside to this news, however, though one would have a hard time learning as much from a great deal of the reporting on this trend. While these prices decline, it presents opportunities for those who wish to purchase in desirable areas but who may have been unable to do so in the past due to high prices. This situation is more accurately referred to as a “market adjustment”.
