A historic waterfront community with all the amenities of a vacation

The neighborhood is home to historic Art Deco architecture, which has seen a great deal of restoration, thanks to the efforts of residents. The area is well known as a draw for vacationers, which is why many homeowners treat their properties as a summer getaway. Thanks to its expansive park, waterfront views and local restaurants just a stroll away, Lummus Park provides residents with the comfort of a getaway in their own backyard.

Art Deco-styles and waterfront views
Alongside Art Deco, the neighborhood hosts a variety of distinct architectural styles, including Mediterranean Revival and Masonry Vernacular. Most homes in the neighborhood come in the form of condos that overlook Ocean Drive, which is lined with stately palm trees. As the Art Deco style suggests, many of the neighborhood’s condos were constructed in the 1920s, though new builds have slowly been added since. The community offers a wide range of home prices, from around $330,000 for a one-bedroom condo to $7 million for a recently built two-story unit closer to the beach. Many residents also take advantage of the fact that there are no renting restrictions in Lummus Park, meaning homeowners "can purchase houses in the community, treat them as vacation homes and then rent them out during the remainder of the year to offset costs,” explains Anna Sherrill, a real estate agent with One Sotheby’s International Realty who has sold homes in the neighborhood and lives on the Venetian Islands just to the east.

Endless opportunities at Lummus Park
Lummus Park is home to a rich history and an array of outdoor opportunities throughout its namesake park and beach coastline. “It's a beautiful park,” says Sherrill. Days in the park have a quiet start, with morning strolls and bike rides for the community’s early risers. As the day warms up, umbrellas pop up along the beach, placed by those spending their days by the ocean. Bike and roller skate rental stands can be found within the park, as well as weekend artisanal markets and SCOPE Miami Beach – Art Fair, which functions as an art museum focused on Art Deco architecture. The museum offers guided tours of the area that provide insight into its history and iconic building designs from days past.
