Open map

Sunny Isles Beach is a city occupying a narrow stretch of barrier island between Baker's Haulover Inlet to the south and Golden Beach to the north, with the Atlantic on one side and the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. Its skyline is the point: this is the most concentrated run of oceanfront high-rise residential towers in Miami-Dade County, and the inventory is overwhelmingly condominium.

Collins Avenue runs the length of the city, and most of the residential product sits directly on it: full-service buildings with beach frontage, amenity decks and, in the newer towers, branded residences. Buyers here are generally choosing between buildings rather than between streets, and the differences that matter are age, amenity programme, elevation and whether a residence faces the ocean, the Intracoastal or both.

The city is bracketed by two very different neighbours, which is useful context: Golden Beach immediately north permits no towers at all and is entirely single-family, while Haulover Park sits south across the inlet. Anyone weighing a tower residence against a house should look at both sides of that line.

In Sunny Isles the choice is between buildings rather than between streets, and the differences that matter (construction era, amenity program, elevation, exposure, and what the association actually holds in reserve) are not visible from a listing photograph. Jonathan Bigelman takes clients through those building by building. Book a meeting to compare the towers you are considering side by side.

Who you work with

Buying or selling in Sunny Isles Beach

Jonathan Bigelman is from Miami-Dade, came to the business through family, and works on residential sales from $2M at ONE Sotheby’s International Realty. Sunny Isles Beach is the densest run of oceanfront high-rises in Miami-Dade and is almost entirely condominium, much of it branded and much of it sold before it was built.

That makes it a market where two very different transactions share a skyline: a preconstruction contract with a developer, and a resale from an owner. They price differently, close differently and carry different risk. His own closings in the city are counted below, out of the Southeast Florida MLS.

  • Ask preconstruction or resale

    They are not the same purchase. Deposit schedules, delivery dates and what you can negotiate are all different, and an agent should tell you which one suits you before showing either.

  • Ask what the deposit buys and when

    A developer contract stages payments over years. Ask what each stage secures and what happens if the timeline moves.

  • Ask which line in the tower

    Exposure, height and stack change the view and the price far more than the floor number does. The building is not the unit.

  • Ask about the carrying cost, not just the price

    Amenity-heavy towers carry association budgets to match. The monthly figure is part of the purchase and is checkable up front.

Questions

Sunny Isles Beach buyer questions

Are there single-family homes in Sunny Isles Beach?

Very few. The city's inventory is overwhelmingly condominium, concentrated in the oceanfront towers along Collins Avenue. Buyers who specifically want a house usually look immediately north to Golden Beach, which is zoned exclusively for single-family homes. The counts above show the current split.

What is Sunny Isles Beach known for?

Its oceanfront high-rise towers (the densest run of them in Miami-Dade County), including a number of newer branded residential buildings, all along the Collins Avenue corridor with direct beach frontage.

How do I choose between buildings in Sunny Isles Beach?

Because most inventory sits on the same corridor, the meaningful differences are between buildings rather than locations: age and construction, amenity programme, floor and elevation, and whether a residence faces the Atlantic, the Intracoastal, or both.

Where is Sunny Isles Beach?

On the barrier island between Baker's Haulover Inlet to the south and Golden Beach to the north, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east and the Intracoastal Waterway to the west.
