サウス・オブ・フィフス

South Beach's South of Fifth neighborhood, or as the locals call it "SoFi" is a small neighborhood that extends from South Pointe Park north to Fifth Street. Surrounded by water on three sides, the multi-million dollar ultra-luxury high rise apartments along the waterfront offer some of the best views in Miami. The gorgeous views coupled with world-class dining and pedestrian friendly streets attract wealthy executives and celebrities who own first and second homes in SoFi. Condos South of Fifth Miami Beach trade at some of the highest prices on the beach.

What to Expect

With luxury high rises, boutique low rise residences and hotels, South of Fifth is an exclusive enclave. It has easy waterfront access and beautifully manicured parks. The 17-acre South Pointe Park lies along Government Cut, a strip of water that separates SoFi from Fisher Island. This coveted neighborhood retains its residential feel, yet still has grown into a hotspot for upscale dining, bars, and art galleries.

The Vibe

Thinking of South Beach conjures up images of the hustle and bustle of vibrant nightlife, art deco, and constant action. South of Fifth is more relaxed and peaceful than the continuous stimulation found further north. Residents enjoy some restored art deco buildings and rich culture.  but overall South of Fifth retains an old-beach feeling with much more of a community vibe.

Lifestyle

South of Fifth attracts buyers and renters who want an exclusive and ultra-luxurious lifestyle. Residences have all the elite amenities including pools, private elevators, concierges, spas, and much more. South of Fifth residents enjoy an active lifestyle because of its walkability. The neighborhood is only four blocks across at its widest point. Miles of walking paths make SoFi pedestrian friendly. Homeowners, renters, and visitors can take a sunset stroll, enjoy a walk to fetch some morning coffee, or walk to one of several restaurants, cafes, and bars in the area.

Shopping and Restaurants

Part of what helps South of Fifth retain its residential feel is its lack of retail shopping establishments. Residents will have to head north of 5th Street for a mall or grocery store. They, however, have access to one of the best farmers' markets in the area which is held at First and Alton each Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Dining options continue to grow in SoFi, but world-famous Joe's Stone Crab, which opened in 1913, remains a local favorite. World-class restaurants such as Red the Steakhouse, and Prime 112 are located in SoFi as well as a wide variety of other restaurants to suit all tastes. We love watching the cruise ships go through Government Cut while imbibing or feasting on the best steaks at Smith and Wollensky.

Culture

Miami and Miami Beach exude culture around every corner. This is especially true in South Beach where the arts are woven into the fabric of the neighborhoods. Residents will find theaters, orchestras, galleries, live music, events and festivals nearby. South Beach, including SoFi, is also a historic district that celebrates art deco architecture from a from a previous era. The Williams McCall Gallery in SoFi is famous for exhibiting artists from all over the world.

Housing Market

Condos South of Fifth in Miami Beach and South of Fifth apartments are some of the most desirable luxury homes in the world. With restrictions on high rise construction, South of Fifth real estate has a limited number of available luxury condos South of Fifth. We expect this area to have a scarcity of units for sale in comparison to many of the other areas of Miami. Because this area is fully built out, buyers and investors need to buy an already existing unit as pre-construction units are now rare.
