Bal Harbour Wreaks of Sophistication

specific: I am familiar with the Bal Harbor / Sunny Isles area; my family has had a condo in Bal Harbor for the past 4+ years. Is there any particular reason why Bal Harbor is perceived to be so much more exlcusive and prestigious than Sunny Isles? Is it related to the Bal Harbor shops, the strip-malls that line the Sunny Isles streets, any zoning requirements, etc? I would appreciate someone who is well versed in the area’s opinion. Thanks.

Hi Julian,

Interesting question and I would have to agree with my weekend customers who said…” Bal Harbour wreaks of sophistication.” I would attribute it to the high level of security from law enforcement, of course the Bal Harbour Shops which play a big role and the quality of services found at the condo developments such as One Bal Harbour (Regent) and soon to be St. Regis. It’s small, quaint, intimate and offers a private South Florida lifestyle with the feeling of exclusivity.

I’ll be updating the inventory stats soon but last I checked (1.1.09) Bal Harbour real estate had 248 condos for sale while Sunny Isles Beach had 1,292! On the flipside, there is A LOT to offer the residents of Sunny Isles Beach. Many advantages of living in Sunny Isles Beach and a separate blog in itself. I love both locations and promote them daily!
