Which Of Miami's Best Neighborhoods Is Right For You?

The best neighborhoods in Miami are not interchangeable. A buyer who wants a gated, patrolled oceanfront town with no through traffic belongs in Golden Beach. A buyer who wants to lock the door and fly out belongs in a full-service tower in Bal Harbour or Sunny Isles Beach. A family that wants top-rated public schools and a walkable street belongs in Bay Harbor Islands, Surfside, or Coral Gables.

Entry points across these communities run from roughly $1M in Coral Gables to $5M and well past $50M for trophy oceanfront in Golden Beach. Jonathan Bigelman is a third-generation Miami Beach real estate professional with over $700 million in career transactions, and his practice is concentrated in these seven communities rather than spread across all of Miami-Dade.
