Mid-Beach is a trendy neighborhood that plays host to plentiful and luxurious condo buildings. Featuring the upscale Miami Modern (Mid-Century Modern meets Miami Art Deco) architecture that the island is known for - perhaps you’ve heard of the striking 1954 Fontainebleau, which encapsulates the architectural vibe of the area perfectly. The spirit of Mid-Beach is youthful and energetic and luxurious with a passion for life and the local community.

Mid-beach’s most notable feature is its three miles of gleaming, golden beaches, rolling waves, and shady palm trees lining the outdoor walking areas. In these areas, residents will find many eateries, bars, and nightclubs to frequent – and architecture that calls upon the nostalgic feeling of the 40s, 50s, and 60s.

41st Street serves as the main street in Mid-Beach, and is also the center of Jewish life and culture in Miami Beach (in fact, Mid-Beach is the third-largest Jewish community in the US). This sub-neighborhood within Mid-Beach is nestled on the beach, and only a 15-minute walk from the Miami Beach boardwalk, a perfect place to start the day enjoying all the mid-beach has to offer to the community as a whole.
