Private marinas, private pickleball courts, designer furnishings and homes that can withstand Category 5 hurricanes are just some of the in‑demand amenities people are seeking in South Florida homes and condos, according to a survey of real estate brokerages and agencies.
If you are going to live on the water, you might as well have somewhere to dock your boat. Luxury properties such as Pier Sixty-Six Residences in Fort Lauderdale and Six Fisher Island Residences in Miami are among those offering private marinas.
Move-in-ready residences eliminate the guesswork of whether that couch will fit in the living room or if that dining room table goes with the rest of the decor. Several properties offer that convenience, including Edge House Miami with condos designed by Adriana Hoyos Design Studio and Origin Residences by Artefacto in Bay Harbor.
As hurricanes become stronger and more prevalent, safety is even more important. Consider the French Tudor-inspired estate at 3900 Fieldview Way in Wellington’s coveted equestrian community. It boasts hurricane-rated windows and doors, a state-of-the-art water leak detection system, a steel roof engineered to withstand winds up to 250 mph and a custom generator capable of powering the home for a month.
Love pickleball? The estate at 330 Harbor Drive on Biscayne Bay boasts a waterfront rooftop pickleball court and an entire floor dedicated to entertainment. The 7,128-square-foot home is designed for large-scale indoor and outdoor entertaining.
When it comes to South Florida real estate, there really is something for everyone.
