Luxury In-Law Suites in South Florida: A Discreet Buyer’s Checklist for Multigenerational Living

From aging parents to long-stay guests, today’s South Florida estates are being rethought as quietly flexible compounds. A true in-law suite or ADU is not a glorified guest room. It is a self-contained residence within the residence, designed for privacy, autonomy, and longevity. This MILLION Luxury guide focuses on the features that matter most at the top of the market: independent access, acoustic separation, hotel-level baths, intelligent climate control, and universal design details that feel intentional, not clinical.

Arte Surfside and Fendi Château sit within minutes of each other on Collins Avenue, yet they speak to two distinct luxury buyer profiles: one prioritizing extreme privacy and design authorship, the other seeking a brand-forward, full-service ecosystem with more market liquidity.
