Advantages of Condo Living in Miami

By Stephen Daniels | Nov 21, 2009

Miami ocean front property is some of the most valuable in the country. The market remains competitive even as home sales and values fall nationwide. Buyers are still attracted to the Miami region and the Miami lifestyle even in a slumping economy. For those seeking property, condominium living provides an perfect combination of value, convenience and refuge not always afforded to those buying other types of housing. Condos, based on price per square foot and location are commonly more affordable than houses.

The relatively inexpensive cost of a condo is an attractive feature to home buyers in the Miami real estate market. Those located beachfront are particularly advantageous in terms of value and security. Beachfront houses can be prohibitively pricey for the typical buyer.

Condos built on the beach enable a greater number of properties in a designated space by towering above the landscape, offering spectacular views of the city and water. The number of condos on the market as opposed to single-family separate homes ensures that prices will be more reasonable and competitive.

When living in a condo, landscape and building maintenance are the responsibility of a property management company. There is usually a home owners association that assesses monthly or annual fees for building and common area maintenance.

As Miami is an area prone to intense tropical storms and hurricane winds, building maintenance can be a sizeable expense. While most condos are built to endure the most violent conditions Florida’s climate has to offer, the peace of mind in knowing that should storm associated repairs be required , the property management company will handle those repairs and associated costs. Additionally, any green areas around the condo would be maintained by the association’s contracted landscaping crew. Residents of a condo are able to enjoy the beauty of the garden areas without dealing with the yard work.

Condo living is an ideal complement to the energy and excitement of the long-established Miami life style. Being able to live waterfront in a safe building enables the resident to come and go for nightlife, dinners out and entertainment without unduly worry about the security of their residence. Many purchase condos in Miami as a retreat or vacation home knowing that their property is safe in their absence. Adding to the allure of safety is the unavoidable beauty of Miami’s landscape. Beachfront condos afford views to their residences that are not available in single-family homes at the same price point.

Miami’s real estate market is affected by the national market, but to a slighter extent than other areas missing such destination demand . Condos are still being built in the Miami area, which provides a reasonable pricing strategy for the companies involved. House hunters can profit from the ongoing construction in terms of value, while owning a property that will always have value as an investment, despite the ebbs and flows of the housing marketplace. Beachfront space is not infinite, and the ability to build up rather than out has produced magnificent condo buildings with units that boast impeccable amenities and views.
