This MILLION Luxury editorial outlines what makes vintage compelling, what due diligence now demands, and how to compare classic buildings with today’s new-construction benchmarks.

Balcony vs. Terrace in South Florida Luxury Condos: What Actually Matters

In South Florida, outdoor space is not a bonus feature, it is a core room. Yet not all outdoor square footage performs the same.

For today’s ultra-premium buyer, true luxury is not only what a residence shows, but what it quietly solves: privacy, protection, and seamless operations.
