A coastal oasis in Flamingo with endless entertainment
Overshadowed by the famous South Beach, the mainly residential community of Flamingo is just as colorful as its avian namesake. The area was named after the famous Flamingo Hotel. “People love this area due to its walkability to everything in South Beach,” says Daniel Rosa, a broker with Gary Hennes Realtors, who has over 10 years of experience in the industry. “You can walk to Lincoln Road or Sunset Harbor for upscale shopping and dining. You can walk to grocery stores, restaurants, spas, parks and the beach. You really have a little bit of everything,” Rosa says. Brimming with vibrant Art Deco architecture, chic restaurants, and outdoor escapes, Flamingo residents get the best of both worlds.

Upscale eateries, local diners and global cuisine
With its clay-tiled rooflines and bright exteriors, Espanola Way is home to some of South Florida’s most renowned restaurants and boutiques. For a bite to eat, La Sandwicherie is a popular spot for French-inspired sandwiches, while 11th Street Diner serves up classic American fare in a retro setting. Limoncello Miami is the go-to spot for traditional Italian dishes, or locals can flock to one of the many Latin American restaurants around town – whether that’s Mama’s Tacos or La Ventana for a taste of Colombia. The nearest groceries include Whole Foods Market on Alton Court and Publix Super Market at Fifth & Alton. Other major retailers like Petco, Target, and Orangetheory Fitness are next door.

Studio apartments, luxury penthouses and single-family homes
Like much of Miami Beach, any single-family standalone homes in the area are listed for well over $1 million and reach over $4 million, with the median price around $1,850,000. However, these Mediterranean-style designs are a rare sight. Most of the residential options in Flamingo are smaller, two-to-three-story condominiums. Studios with a kitchenette can start in the mid $100,000s, with most one-to-two-bedroom units selling between the mid $200,000s to the $700,000s and multimillion-dollar luxury penthouses with ocean views and floor-to-ceiling windows.

History, entertainment and pride in South Beach
Visitors and residents alike flock to Flamingo’s different museums. The Wolfsonian showcases contemporary exhibits and historical masterpieces that illustrate humanity’s journey through industrialization to the modern day. The Wilzig Erotic Art Museum has more than 4,000 pieces in its collection. For a groundbreaking modern art experience, ARTECHOUSE Miami displays a range of stunning digital and experiential art. Locals can stroll along Ocean Drive and delve into the history seen throughout the Art Deco Historic District or explore 12th Street, the heart of the LGBTQ cultural scene in South Beach. Head towards the beach to find the iconic rainbow crosswalks and street signs, and along the way, swing by the various bars or head to the LGBT Visitor Center to get local insight into the area.

Afternoons in the Florida sun
The neighborhood offers an unbeatable location for anyone who loves the beach. Locals can head less than a mile east to enjoy the white sands and clear water of Miami’s famous South Beach or the same distance west to hit Biscayne Bay, part of the Intracoastal Waterway. Those wanting to spend a day in the Florida sun without getting sandy can head to Flamingo Park in the heart of the neighborhood. This 36-acre public green space includes amenities like basketball courts, an aquatic center, a dog park, and even professional-grade baseball and football stadiums.
Flamingo residents can enjoy the beach all year round.

Short commutes to downtown Miami
Flamingo and neighboring South Beach are extremely popular due to their walkability – many residents don’t even own a vehicle. For those who drive, downtown Miami is about 7 miles across the MacArthur Causeway. Interstate 195 is the other main thoroughfare onto the isle, providing a direct route to Miami International Airport 10 miles away. Florida State Road A1A and Alton Road are the two main roads in the community, with bus stops scattered along Alton and Washington Avenue. The nearest hospital is Mount Sinai Medical Center, while Miami Dade College is also downtown for commuters.

Flooding and hurricane awareness
As a barrier island surrounded by Biscayne Bay and the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, it’s no surprise that prospective homebuyers should consider natural disasters inevitable and take preventive precautions.
