In Brickell, two branded high-rises are defining what “service” means in Miami’s next cycle: Baccarat Residences at the Miami River’s edge and Cipriani Residences Miami along South Miami Avenue.

From Beachfront to Bayfront: Comparing South Florida’s Waterfront Lifestyles

South Florida’s most coveted addresses often share one defining feature: water. Yet “waterfront” is not a single lifestyle. Beachfront living prioritizes an open horizon, salt-air drama, and the ritual of stepping from lobby to sand. Bayfront living favors calmer waterways, yacht-ready convenience, and a more insulated sense of arrival. This guide compares both through the lens of daily rhythm, privacy, views, wind, boating, and long-term livability, so you can match the right shoreline to the way you actually want to live.
