1255 Collins Ave

A 10-story residential condominium completed in 1965, this South Beach midrise occupies a prime corner near Collins Avenue and 13th Street, one block from the Atlantic Ocean. The property primarily contains studio and converted one-bedroom layouts with some junior-bedroom floor plans and compact one-bedrooms; typical interior features include eat-in kitchens, breakfast bars, walk-in closets, built-in cabinetry, and a mix of tub and shower-only baths. Units often open to private balconies or terraces with ocean or Art Deco rooftop views. Common areas emphasize active, social amenities: a prominent rooftop pool and lounge with ocean vistas, a renovated lobby, a recently updated gym, and laundry facilities on each floor. Practical building systems have been upgraded over time — concrete restoration, impact doors/windows, and a new high-capacity generator have been noted — and the community maintains reserves. Parking is assigned and gated with remote access; bicycle storage and additional tenant storage are available. Exterior protections include storm shutters and high-impact doors. The association allows relatively liberal short-term rentals (subject to current rules) and supports unit-level renovations; many residences are offered turnkey furnished. Located in the heart of South Beach, the building benefits from immediate walkability to beaches, restaurants, nightlife, and transit, making it a compact, amenity-forward option for urban coastal living.
