Key Biscayne – Kid Friendly!
Key Biscayne is a perfect place for children, especially young ones. The beaches are a lot calmer than those on South Beach, there are beautiful parks, a wonderful community center, bike paths, and a truly walk-able neighborhood!
South Florida Luxury Home Buyers Have Plenty of Buying Opportunities
According to Forbes’ America’s Most Expensive ZIP Codes, South Florida luxury real estate is not faring too badly, compared with states like California. Granted, California has more expensive ZIPS according to the statistics used by Forbes and almost all of those ZIP codes show a decrease in price, but still, only four South Florida ZIPs made the top 500 list and only one, Fisher Island’s 33109 made the top 100 list.
Others on the list included Key Biscayne 33149 at number 199, Coral Gables 33146 at number 363 and Miami Beach 33154, which includes Indian Creek Village, Bay Harbor Islands, Bal Harbour, and Surfside, at number 494.
These South Florida cities have a high inventory, which will put a downward pressure on prices. The only city that did not see a decrease in it’s median home price was Coral Gables.
