El Cid Condominium

El Cid Condominium is a low-rise, six-story residential complex built in 1972 and composed primarily of one-bedroom units with occasional larger floorplans. Architecturally utilitarian, the complex clusters around landscaped walkways and a lakefront setting that informs many units’ outlooks. Interiors typically include tiled floors, eat-in kitchens or breakfast bars, walk-in closets, various bathroom configurations (soaking tubs and shower-only options), and accessibility features; many units report recent mechanical or cosmetic updates. Common areas emphasize everyday convenience and recreation: a gated entry, two elevators, laundry facilities on each floor, a lakeside pool, fitness room, barbecue and courtyard spaces, pet-friendly dog park, covered and guest parking, and storage lockers for residents. Exterior amenities extend to private patios, balconies, porches, storm shutters and a privacy wall in places. On-site security features include 24/7 camera monitoring, and the association covers utilities and building maintenance items such as water, exterior insurance, elevators and landscaping. The property sits in the Blue Lagoon neighborhood of Miami, near Miami International Airport, major highways and shopping, offering a suburban-urban hybrid lifestyle with quick access to downtown, Coral Gables, beaches and nearby entertainment venues.
