Top Luxury Condo Locations for Baby Boomers in Miami

July 26, 2018

When the children leave home to go to college or start a new path, many baby boomers are finding that they have the desire to downsize, but don’t want to lose the luxury lifestyle of a bigger home and exclusive community. In Miami, we are lucky enough to have many neighborhoods that offer luxurious charm in the form of condo units and a luxury lifestyle incorporated into residential offerings.

National data from CoreLogic, BLS, and Freddie Mac have documented the house to condo trend that is happening now with baby boomers downsizing. From 2010 to 2015, there was an increase in the number of baby boomers moving into multifamily units that has freed up nearly 100,000 single-family homes across the country. Boomers are deciding that they don’t want the high-maintenance of a house and instead want to keep the luxury amenities such as accessibility to water, dock space, modern gyms and spas, and options for covered parking without the stress of maintaining a large home.

For the downsizing baby boomers, here are the top luxury condo locations in Miami.

Coconut Grove

Coconut Grove is exploding with new luxury commercial and residential real estate projects. With exciting new opportunities for the CocoWalk complex and luxury condo buildings with shimmering water views creating a live/play reality in the area, the Grove is becoming one of the most popular places for downsizing homeowners.

Set amongst the South Florida landscape, Deering Bay provides an escape from the hustle of the city with just the right amount of luxury.

Fisher Island

For something a little harder to access for the general public, consider an exclusive condo on Fisher Island. This little island off of Miami Beach is only accessible by a short ferry ride, but it feels worlds away from the mainland.
