9511 Collins Ave

A 12-story oceanfront condominium completed in 1970, this mid-rise Surfside property offers primarily multi-bedroom residences with layouts that emphasize split-bedroom plans and large outdoor living. Units commonly feature high ceilings, walk-in closets, eat-in kitchens with islands or breakfast bars, formal and informal dining areas, and a mix of original and renovated finishes; many homes include soaking tubs, separate showers, attic storage and first-floor-entry options. Exterior elements focus on beachfront living with oversized balconies or wraparound terraces, updated glass balconies in some towers, storm-security shutters and outdoor patios with barbecue and deck space. The building’s common areas were modernized in recent years to include a staffed 24-hour front desk, fitness center, heated pool, social/business room, conference facilities and laundry; property management provides beach service with loungers, umbrellas and towels. Parking is assigned with some guest spaces and the association maintains reserves and handled assessments for envelope and balcony upgrades. The location is highly walkable — steps from the sand, local dining, shops, houses of worship and close to Bal Harbour and major hotels — supporting an active, convenience-oriented coastal lifestyle.
