How to read South Florida
Three questions to answer first
Lifestyle
Beach, bay, or city? Walkability, schools, marinas and commute shape daily life more than the floor plan does.
Supply
How many new towers are coming? Pipeline, resale inventory and price per square foot tell you where values are heading.
Rules
Short-term rental limits, condo association rules, and insurance and reserve requirements differ by city and building.
