Oceanfront / Surfside, FL
Surfside
Surfside is a small, affluent beachfront town between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour — one square mile of Atlantic oceanfront with a residential character that sets it apart from its flashier neighbors. It has been a quiet enclave for Orthodox Jewish families and international buyers for decades.
The waterfront address
A closer look at Surfside.
Following the Champlain Towers collapse in 2021, Surfside underwent significant change — older buildings were demolished and a new generation of ultra-luxury oceanfront development has transformed the town's skyline. Today, Surfside is one of South Florida's most desirable addresses for oceanfront buyers seeking both prestige and community.
