South of Fifth – Miami Beach’s Ultra-Luxury Neighborhood

May 23, 2010

The video above is meant for the non-local buyer who may not be familiar with the various neighborhoods throughout South Florida.  South of Fifth, also known as SoFi, is a neighborhood that encompasses the five southern most blocks of South Beach (and therefore Miami Beach).  Once regarded as one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in South Florida, South of Fifth is now considered to be one of the safest and most luxurious for condo living.  The revitalization of the area within the past two decades has been remarkable, attributed mainly to visionary Thomas Kramer.

One of the main attractions for South of Fifth condos is South Pointe Park which reopened in March 2009 after undergoing a $22M renovation. The neighborhood also has world-renowned restaurants Joe’s Stone Crab and Prime 112 as well as local favorites Devito South Beach,  Smith & Wollensky and China Grill.  South of Fifth is reputed for being a clean, quiet, exclusive neighborhood away from the congestion of South Beach but within walking distance to all else that South Beach has to offer.  The beach at the southernmost point of Miami Beach, in my opinion, is also one of the most beautiful beaches in South Florida.
