345 Ocean Dr

An 11-story oceanfront condominium completed in 1970, this South Beach property occupies a prominent spot on Ocean Drive with direct beach access and panoramic Atlantic views. Units are predominantly studio-to-one-bedroom layouts, many of which were professionally converted from studios to one-bedrooms and feature balconies or terraces facing the ocean. Interiors commonly include eat-in kitchens or kitchen islands, walk-in closets, built-in cabinetry, updated baths with dual sinks or separate showers, and accessibility features such as first-floor entries and elevator service. The building’s exterior amenities emphasize seaside living: an oceanfront pool and sun deck on the second floor, landscaped courtyard and outdoor living areas, barbecue and patio spaces, privacy walls, storm-security shutters and impact-rated sliding doors. Shared facilities include an oceanfront community room with Wi‑Fi, bike storage, a gated entrance, intercom access and on-site parking with assigned covered spaces. Recent capital improvements noted in listings include lobby and hallway renovations, upgraded elevators, pool heating and paid assessments for ongoing works. Service and policy elements commonly referenced are low maintenance fees relative to location, on-site management, and rules around leasing and owner-occupancy; pet policies vary by unit and should be confirmed with management. The building sits in the South of Fifth neighborhood, steps from restaurants, nightlife, shopping and South Pointe Park, offering a pedestrian-focused coastal lifestyle.
