1228 W Ave

A midrise condominium completed in 1971 and rising 15 stories, this waterfront Miami Beach property primarily offers one- and two-bedroom residences with balconies and views of the bay, intracoastal waterways and parts of the city. The architecture reflects 1970s massing updated through recent common-area renovations; interiors vary from original-period travertine and hardwood floors to extensively remodeled units with marble or porcelain tile, granite or quartz counters and modern cabinetry. Units typically include open living/dining plans, walk-in closets, in-unit washers/dryers in many residences, breakfast bars or eat-in kitchens, and combinations of soaking tubs, separate showers and bidets in primary baths. Common areas are broad and amenity-forward: a bayfront heated pool, renovated fitness center, billiards room, bike storage, marina/dock access, and a bar/lounge-style social room. The building provides onsite management, 24-hour security/concierge coverage in many listings, assigned covered parking plus extra storage, and hurricane-impact windows or storm shutters. Outdoor features include landscaped courtyards, patios, barbecue areas and private balconies offering waterfront breezes. Pet and rental policies are generally flexible according to listings; the association fees frequently cover water, sewer, cable and some insurance. Located on West Avenue in South Beach, the property sits within walking distance of Lincoln Road, restaurants, shops, Whole Foods and public beach access, combining a lively urban beachfront neighborhood with marina-adjacent lifestyle conveniences.
