Miami is all about water. So while waterfront properties are still popular, condo buyers are now upping the ante. These days, they are looking for resort-style perks like those of the two-and-a-half-acre Continuum South Beach, with its restaurants, private beach club and private tennis clubs.

Buyers are also increasingly enticed by more than just proximity to the beach. For instance, there’s a boat dock at Iris on the Bay where people have access to boating, kayaking, paddleboarding or rowing.

Another amenity that is highly sought after is architecture. Currently, a lot of buyers love the contemporary or modern look, favoring that over the Mediterranean style of the past. And as buyers are becoming more eco-conscious, they are seeking some green features in apartments, such as tankless hot water heaters.
