5 Florida Waterfront Homes and Luxury Estates from the Keys to Miami

By Awais Manzoor

1 min read

Across South Florida, a quintet of properties shows how luxury often hinges on function as much as finish. In Key Colony Beach and Summerland Key, poolside living is paired with serious marine infrastructure, including a brand-new 60-foot dock on an ocean-side deep-water canal. Inland, Southwest Ranches offers gated acreage with updated impact windows and doors, while Fort Lauderdale delivers a distinctive custom estate on a sprawling 26,598-square-foot lot. In Miami’s Health District, shovel-ready land and exceptional zoning flexibility point to rare development leverage.

Along the water in sought-after Key Colony Beach, this 4-bedroom, 2-bath home channels the easy rhythm of the Florida Keys with a private pool, spacious outdoor living, and an established vacation rental history.

In the heart of Miami’s Health District, 1800 NW 7th Ave sits directly adjacent to the Jackson Memorial / UM Health System campus—one of the largest medical complexes in the Southeast—creating built-in demand for both residential and retail uses. Zoned CI-HD, the site offers exceptional flexibility, permitting residential, retail, hospitality, office, and educational uses by right, with virtually no restrictions on use mix under Miami 21. Live Local Act eligibility (SB 102) further elevates the potential, unlocking up to 1,000 du/acre density and an FLR of 36 beyond base zoning. Formerly an automotive facility, the property has been fully remediated by the current owner, with documentation available during due diligence. With surrounding land largely built out and institutionally controlled, it reads as a rare, shovel-ready infill opportunity in Miami’s urban core.
