This MILLION Luxury guide distills what matters most: how Surfside’s geography shapes daily life, why branded and design-forward residences command attention, and which practical checks should sit behind any offer, especially when weighing beachfront versus bay-side positioning.

In Palm Beach County, heavy cash buying cushions demand from mortgage-rate volatility, while private credit has emerged as a decisive tool for developers who want to move quickly without presales.
