The Most Luxurious Condo Buildings in Mid-Beach, Miami Beach

Miami Beach is more than a destination—it’s a lifestyle, a legend, and a vibrant blend of culture, history, and coastal allure. Yet within its famed shores lie distinct neighborhoods, each offering a unique lifestyle. Among them, Mid-Beach is known as the quieter counterpart to South Beach, given its more laid-back, residential lifestyle with much less tourist action. Once known as “Millionaire’s Row” in the 1950s and ’60s, it has evolved while preserving its legacy of exclusivity. 

The upscale neighborhood offers privacy while still being steps away from world-class dining, art, and culture, blending Art Deco and MiMo-style architecture with cutting-edge design. The rise of the Faena District has cemented the area as a cultural and artistic destination, attracting art lovers, starchitects and big-budget developers eager to cater to its ever-growing community of discerning and global residents.

So, what makes for luxury living in Mid-Beach? Here’s a look at the top 5 most prestigious condo buildings that set the standard for high-end real estate in this coveted Miami Beach enclave.

— Why Choose Miami Beach’s Mid-Beach Neighborhood?

Mid-Beach offers all the perks of living in Miami Beach, with the added advantage of a more serene atmosphere, tucked away from the busier South Beach. Here, tranquil white-sand beaches feel like an extension of your backyard, while breathtaking water views and iconic Art Deco and MiMo-style architecture create a distinct sense of place. 

The neighborhood is also home to some of Miami’s most prestigious hotels and resorts, making luxury a part of everyday life, and creating some of the luxury condos for sale in Mid-Beach. The eclectic Faena District serves as a vibrant hub of art, culture, and curated high-end retail. 

Mid-Beach also ranks well in terms of walkability, with a walk score of 87. It also boasts close proximity to the exclusive La Gorce Country Club and golf course, all the famous shopping and entertainment hotspots of South Beach, the nationally ranked Mt. Sinai Hospital campus, the upscale Shops at Bal Harbour, and easy access to the mainland via I-95, making it one of the most sought-after neighborhoods to live in.

— How Safe is Mid-Beach?

Being the quieter cousin of South Beach definitely has its perks. The classically elegant Mid-Beach is known for its cleaner and less crowded sugar-sand beaches, walkable stretches, and family-friendly atmosphere. This distance from the more touristy part of town naturally makes Mid-Beach a more tranquil place to call home.

Still in doubt? In our South Beach vs. Mid-Beach vs. North Beach video, you can understand the main differences between the three areas.


Best Restaurants in Mid-Beach

Matador Room

The dining scene in Mid-Beach might not be as wide-ranging as South Beach, but it certainly has its fair share of top-rated eateries that give residents plenty of reasons to dine-out closer home:

  • Hakkasan is one of the best Asian restaurants in Miami serving a scrumptious crispy duck salad and Cantonese fare in the Fontainebleau Hotel
  • Mirabella at the Fontainebleau is led by five-time Michelin-starred Chef Michael White and serves elevated coastal italian cuisine
  • Arkadia Grill at the Fontainebleau serves the best of Chef Michael Mina’s pizza and more home-style comfort foods
  • Cecconi’s Miami Beach is Soho Beach House’s critically acclaimed classic Italian restaurant
  • Pao by Paul Qui at the Faena Hotel is a fine-dining restaurant serving lip-smacking Asian cuisine with water views
  • The Broken Shaker is an award-winning hotel bar, dishing out original concoctions infused with international flavors in a bohemian courtyard setting
  • Lola Restaurant and Grill puts the best skirt steak on the table with live music
  • Los Fuegos by Francis Mallmann serves a great Argentine live-fire steak with exceptional wine pairings in an elegant hotel setting
  • Matador Room serves the most inspiring Caribbean and Latin eats cooked by the world-renowned MasterChef Jean-Georges Vongerichten
  • Ceviches by Divino is a gastropub that does right by high-level Peruvian cuisine
  • Hoshi and Sushi is the best place for sushi rolls and Asian fusion in the neighborhood


— Shopping in Mid-Beach

Mid-Beach's shopping scene has evolved dramatically in recent years. 

Once anchored by the iconic Fontainebleau Shops, it now offers a diverse and exciting array of retail experiences. With the addition of the Faena Bazaar, residents now have access to an expanded selection of stores that range from emerging designers to global luxury and lifestyle brands. 

The Bazaar and its Curio also feature a curated collection of artisan luxury goods, rotating pop-ups, and an art gallery, earning Vogue’s distinction as ‘Miami Beach’s new design destination.’

For a broader range of shopping options, residents can head to the iconic Lincoln Road mall in South Beach or drive up to the glamorous Bal Harbour Shops up north, also with great dining and cafe options. 

For good coffee, try Crema Gourmet located within the Faena Bazaar, or if you need a Starbucks fix, you can still find your favorite Starbucks closer to home, with three convenient locations: one at the 6080 condo-hotel, a second farther south at the AC Hotel by Marriott, and another further north on Collins Avenue.


— The Best Located Condo in Mid-Beach

Faena House


Faena House not only wins the title of most luxurious, but also the best-located condo in our Mid-Beach study. 

To begin with, it boasts a prime beachfront location and is just a quick ride from South Beach, with its famous nightlife, art fairs, and shopping at Lincoln Road. 

Second, it sits right in the middle of the happening Faena District, surrounded by the Faena Hotel, Performing Arts Theater, Events Forum, and Bazaar, all of which have come to infuse new life into Millionaire’s Row. 

Third, the Faena District also features a walkscore of 81, making it one of the more walkable districts in Miami Beach—and it’s only getting better. Finally, it also connects easily to the mainland via the 195 Julia Tuttle Causeway.
