Here, we’ve rounded up the top five best condos in South of Fifth according to their average price per square foot, setting the bar high for luxury not only in the area but in all of Miami.

Tapping New York’s award-winning Gabellini Sheppard for its interiors, the units will feature expansive balconies and open-air plans with incredible views in every direction.

Continuum Towers


Being such a compact area, all buildings on South of Fifth are well located, however, our choice goes to the Continuum Towers. They are the only luxury high-rise buildings South of Fifth that are beachfront/oceanfront and also closest to the amazing South Pointe Park! If you like boutique, then also consider
321 Ocean Drive, an exclusive enclave of only 21 luxury residences designed by the world-renowned Enrique Norten sitting right on the beach. Two low-rise buildings—one oceanfront and other historic street-front structure—feature residences with flow-through layouts plus east and west balconies.


— How Safe Is South of Fifth?

South of Fifth is typically considered one of the safest neighborhoods of South Beach, as evidenced by this crime and safety heatmap. This is because the neighborhood is not as touristy as immediately north and is more resident-oriented with an extremely affluent clientele.
