Beyond South Beach: Miami Neighborhoods Emerging as New Luxury Hotspots

South Beach will always be iconic, but today’s luxury buyers are increasingly mapping Miami by lifestyle fit, privacy, and day to day ease rather than a single ZIP code.

The Family Compound Trend: Why Ultra-Wealthy Buyers Are Assembling Adjacent Homes in South Florida

Across South Florida, a growing subset of ultra-wealthy buyers is redefining what “more space” means. Instead of one outsized residence, families are quietly acquiring adjacent properties to create a private, multi-structure compound that supports multigenerational living, staff, wellness, and security with fewer compromises. The appeal is control: control of sightlines, access, noise, future development risk, and the ability to expand without leaving a prized neighborhood. The strategy can be powerful, but it demands careful planning around zoning, operations, and long-term exit options.
