Why You Should Buy a Home on the South Florida Waterfront

access_timeJune 4, 2020personScott Patterson

South Florida is known for its gorgeous homes, sandy beaches, and endless coastal beauty, which is part of why it’s the perfect place for anyone to live. If you’re eager to embrace a lifestyle that’s both relaxing and luxurious, the South Florida waterfront could be the place for you.

The Benefits of Living on the South Florida Waterfront

Are you thinking about making a move to the South Florida waterfront? When you live here, you’ll quickly discover why so many people choose to call the Sunshine State home. There are also plenty of benefits that come with buying a house in one of the best vacation destinations in the country—here are just a few.

Shopping and Dining Areas

There are some amazing areas around South Florida that are ideal for shopping, like The Shops at Sunset Place and The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale. There are even more places to eat, too! South Florida is known for its delicious cuisine, and there are tons of food festivals that are held around the area.

Secluded Areas Exist, Too

If you’re not a fan of the hustle and bustle of city life, you’ll also be able to find secluded areas in South Florida where you can unwind in total serenity. Whether you want to live quietly by Pensacola Beach or a little bit off the coast, you’ll have no trouble finding your own slice of paradise in the middle of nowhere.

Living on the Waterfront

South Florida has beautiful rivers, canals, and oceanfront homes that are currently on the market. In fact, many of the area’s most prestigious communities are situated right on the water, and they also offer some beautiful views. These neighborhoods are perfect for anyone who likes to swim, boat, or even just relax by the ocean.

Great Home Values

The housing market in most areas of South Florida is strong, which has led to a booming inventory of houses available for buyers. Plus, with interest rates being as low as they are, you’ll probably get a great deal on your new home!

The Sunshine State

There’s a reason why Florida is nicknamed the Sunshine State. The year-round sunshine and warm temperatures attract people to visit, move, and even retire to Florida. When the weather is this beautiful all the time, you can spend your days relaxing outside, enjoying outdoor activities like swimming or playing tennis, or just watching the waves.

Fun Things to Do in South Florida: An Insiders Guide

access_timeMarch 10, 2019personScott Patterson

The surf, the sun, the culture, what’s not to love about South Florida? This area is an exciting hub of fun outdoor activities, jaw-dropping beaches, one-of-a-kind culture, and so much more.

From the area’s most gorgeous beaches and oceanfront destinations to the hottest night clubs and art districts, there’s something here for everyone. Allow me to guide you through this area’s can’t-miss attractions. It’s so easy to have fun in South Florida, I’ve broken it up into categories.

The Culture

Searching for cultural bliss in South Florida? Nothing comes close to the famed Miami Design District. This neighborhood is one-of-a-kind, and it’s packed with over 130 galleries, showrooms, stores, eateries, and more. Venues in this district host special seasonal events, so depending on when you visit you may be in for a show-stopping treat!

Popular events include film festivals, fashion exhibits, and musical performances featuring world-class artists. Not only is it a haven for art lovers, it also features amazing restaurants, bars, and other fun things to do!

I highly recommend siting down at the Mandolin Aegean Bistro for an unforgettable meal or Boombox on Wynwood for a night of dancing and drinking gourmet cocktails!

The Art

Head to Wynwood Walls. This urban graffiti art museum is a mainstay of Miami culture—and for good reason. I’m not kidding when I say that this location is dripping with art, it’s on every single wall! It’s the perfect addition to any trip to Miami, and when you live here you’ll want to visit again and again.

The art changes out regularly and this is the perfect place to discover new and exciting artists. I recommend grabbing an iced coffee or some ice cream and taking your time perusing the different works of art. It’s unlike any other museum you’ve visited, I promise!

Craving something indoors? Check out the Museum of Contemporary Art, which regularly features carefully curated exhibitions of modern artists and a permanent collection that never gets old.

The Beach

Ok, so now it’s time to talk about the real reason you want to move to South Florida. I don’t blame you—the beaches here are magnificent. There are so many to choose from but I’m going to focus on my top three.

If you’re in Miami, South Beach is iconic. It’s one of the most popular beaches in the world because it’s gorgeous and perfectly accented by all the fun things to do in Miami.

Looking for something a little more tranquil? Go to Sunny Isles Beach, famous for its soft white sand and unbelievably clear waters. This is a wonderful location for snorkeling and other aquatic recreation!

Want to go for a run along the shoreline? Then you can’t go wrong with a trip to Siesta Beach, which boasts an eight-mile shoreline and beautiful sparkling sand.
