North Shore

It's one of the more residential, laid-back stretches of Miami Beach, with the ocean close by and quieter surroundings than the southern nightlife districts. Nearby communities like Biscayne Point reinforce that neighborhood feel, and the heavy waterfront inventory means water access is part of daily life for many residents.

It depends heavily on where you land. The median list price is $580,500 and the median home sold for $370,000 over the past year, but 58 listings are priced above $1 million and the top of the market reaches nearly $50 million for premier waterfront.

Median list price is $580,500, with an average of $827 per square foot on a median home size of 994 square feet, which reflects the compact, condo-heavy nature of much of the inventory. Actual prices range widely from $220 to $49,900,000 depending on size and water proximity. You can filter the current options on the live map.

There are 252 active listings and 230 homes sold in the past 12 months, so it's an active but not frantic market. Homes are taking a median of 75 days to sell and sellers are getting about 94% of asking, which points to negotiating room for buyers who do their homework.

Median property tax runs about $6,800 per year in North Shore. HOA figures aren't reported as a neighborhood-wide median here, so it's worth confirming dues building by building, especially given how condo-heavy the inventory is.
