In the world of South Florida real estate, few areas match up to the chic luxuriousness of South Beach and even fewer condos match the eloquence of Continuum South Beach.

With its unbeatable location on South Pointe Drive on the southern tip of Miami Beach, Continuum South Beach has some of the most marvelous views in all of Miami Beach.  Views from Continuum South Beach's spacious terraces include the Atlantic Ocean, Biscayne Bay, Downtown Miami and the beautiful South Beach coastline.

Continuum South Beach is a condo that emphasizes resort-style living in a permanent condo residence. This concept has been successfully practiced throughout Miami Beach with condos offering lavish amenities and residential features, but certain South Beach condos like Continuum South Beach really push the limits of beachfront luxury living.

Tags:   The Courts at South Beach, South Beach condos, miami beach condos

South of Fifth is the crowned jewel of Miami Beach, boasting quiet streets, access to the beach only steps from any building and a large array of first class restaurants like RED, Smith and Wollensky, Tuscan Steak, Devito’s new Restaurant, Prime one twelve, China Grill and the classic Joe’s Stone Crab. 

This area has many incredible condos like Continuum, Icon, Murano Grande and Portofino, the brand new Apogee and many more. In the center of this ultra urban area however, you’ll find a city block of eleven small buildings only four stories high called The Courts at South Beach.
 
This complex with 190 units is more than just a collection of appealing vacation condos; The Courts at South Beach are truly homes. With large units offering 3 and 4 bedrooms and units up to 2800 sq ft you may wish to make this complex your permanent residence.
 
This is not some kind of condo, resort or hotel, The Courts has one of the highest percentages of year round residents than any other building in South Beach. Most of its residents at The Courts choose to live there permanently, making the building very desirable for families with small children, pet lovers and South Beach aficionados.
 
Even so, The Courts is not like many South Beach condos that sometimes tend to lack common areas and amenities. Two pools, Jacuzzi, gym, party room, a racquetball court, state of the art security system and 24 hour guards are just some of the features available at The Courts.
 
Most units come with two parking spaces and separate storage spaces. The Courts is a charming complex with so many attributes that the only way to properly experience it is to visit this great building.
