Buying in Sunny Isles Beach: what to weigh first
Sunny Isles Beach is a strip of oceanfront towers between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, long favoured by families and international buyers using the property seasonally. It fits beachfront and resort-style personal use, and demands close attention to recurring costs and building maintenance.
Who it fits
- Families using the property for holidays and seasons
- Buyers wanting direct beach access and full building service
- Buyers accepting higher recurring cost for location and standard
What to verify before an offer
- Association fees in resort-service towers
- Structural and facade maintenance in oceanfront buildings
- Coastal insurance cost
- Lease rules if the unit will be rented when vacant
- Position relative to the ocean: direct, side and city views price differently
Common mistakes
- Looking at purchase price without annual holding cost
- Assuming availability on your holiday dates in rental-programme buildings
- Closing without reviewing special assessment history
