865 Collins Ave

A low-rise, mid-century coastal condominium located in Miami Beach’s South Beach neighborhood, the building dates to 1954 and rises four stories. The property is a small boutique collection of primarily studio and small multi-level units, many of which have been converted into split-level loft-style layouts with upstairs bedrooms, private terraces or sun decks, and corner exposures. Architectural character is Art Deco-influenced with modest period details updated by successive renovations; recent work across the property includes upgraded windows and refreshed common areas. Interiors commonly feature open living/dining plans, breakfast bars, walk-in closets, hardwood or porcelain flooring, renovated bathrooms with separate showers, and French doors or atrium access to outdoor decks. Shared building amenities are practical and neighborhood-oriented: secured intercom entry, an elevator, on-site laundry, and rooftop sundecks with partial ocean views. Exterior amenities include private balconies, patios, barbecue areas and small decks for individual units. Parking is not integral but nearby lots are available; units often trade as income properties and the complex is frequently marketed to investors. The property allows short-term rentals under local licensing, is pet-friendly in many units, and benefits from a one-block proximity to the beach, Ocean Drive, Lummus Park, restaurants, shops and nightlife, creating a distinctly walkable, tourism-oriented urban lifestyle.
