Beachfront Living in Florida

There are few places more associated with beachfront living than is Florida. This state has some of the most beautiful waterways and shores in the nation and, if one wants a bit of a change, the Everglades are one of the most stunning natural wonders in the country. Being on the beach in locations such as Miami Beach, South Beach and Sunny Isles Beach has some unique characteristics compared to that same experience in other parts of the nation. The communities here offer a feel and a vibrancy that is seldom the case in other areas of the US.

These communities have always drawn people from around the world. These are not mere tourists, these are people moving to Florida to live the American Dream; to purchase their own homes in an area of incredible natural beauty and unparalleled cultural diversity. Florida is something of a microcosm of the nation at large and these three beachfront cities are concentrated versions of that microcosm. One will not find the typical upscale communities in these areas. One is as likely to meet a successful Russian entrepreneur as they are a member of a famous East Coast family on these beaches. The difference is that both of those individuals are likely permanent residents.

The communities in South Beach, Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach are remarkable for the socialization that goes on at the beach. These are not huge tracts of land owned by just a few people but, instead, are community treasures that are available to one and all and which often serve as the nexus of community interaction. One is as likely to meet their friends sunning themselves on the sands as they are to meet them in the fashionable restaurants and shops along Sunny Isle Beach's Collins Avenue or in the local city hall.

Investing in properties in these locations has proved to be a good move for many individuals. Not all real estate investment is done for money. Some real estate investment has to do with finding a home that one can come to love and call their own. These communities foster that kind of attachment to where one lives. Once one has awoken to the sun rising over Biscayne Bay, there are few things that could pry them from the sight, much less from the home that affords them such a beautiful view of the world.
