What houses can you buy in South Beach

If you want a new house and still you did not found a place where to buy it, then you should just have a look at those amazing homes and houses the rich and famous own in South Beach.

With an own Hollywood-like air floating around the streets where you can find Jennifer Lopez and Madonna walking their dogs, this picturesque area just breaths out money with the likes of Shaquille O’Neall and LeBron James jogging together.

Shaq’s House

NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal’s home in Miami is one of its nicest, and much like Shaq, one of its biggest. The house stands tall on Star Island in Miami Beach, one of the most exclusive parts of the Miami area, and was sold to The Diesel for a whopping $16 million. The home’s previous owner was another former Heat player, Rony Seikaly. Shaquille O’Neal came to the Miami Heat in 2004 from the Lakers and went on to play a big part in the Heat’s NBA Finals along with Dwyane Wade leading the team to an NBA championship in 2006. Although O’Neal’s NBA career is mostly remembered for his time with the Lakers, Shaq was a huge part of the Miami culture for many years. His number was recently retired by the Miami Heat organization. When Shaq left Miami, the home was sold to Naomi Campell’s billionaire boyfriend, Vladislav Doronin.

J’Lo’s Crib

Jennifer Lopez is an icon in Miami. So, of course, she owns one of the most expensive homes in all of South Beach. Lopez lived in the 12,152 square foot Mediterranean revival house. The house which includes a terrace, gym, office, and huge walk-in…err, live-in…closet was put up for sale by J-Lo many years ago. However, it remained on the market for a very long time until it was finally purchased by music legend Phil Collins for a staggering $33 million. Collins will now have the luxury of enjoying a full theater, wine cellar, and 6,000-gallon Koi pond with 200 feet of water frontage. Collins bought the home because he ‘was looking for a really big piece of land.’ He also has homes in New York and Begnins, Switzerland. This home is definitely worthy of our list, not only for its price tag, but it gets bonus points for keeping the beautiful J-Lo safe and sound.

387 Ocean Blvd

Ocean Boulevard is one of the most famous streets in all of Miami, so it only makes sense that it has one of its nicest houses in the entire city. 387 Ocean Blvd (technically located in Ocean Beach, Florida) is a home worth $29 million. There is no shortage of space in this home as it contains ten bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, and stretches to almost a full acre. This home actually has more rooms than the average amount on this list, but fewer acres, so it is interesting to see the approach that was taken on this home architecturally. The house also includes a gym, movie theater, BBQ cabana, and a captivating oval-shaped pool that lays right outside the home.

The home’s biggest selling point—or at least on the listing—is its direct ocean views. Ocean Boulevard has its name for that very reason. Nowhere else in Miami can you see a better view of the Atlantic Ocean than in this luxurious home and it may have the best view in the entire city.

Villa Jasmine

The Villa Jasmine currently serves as a hotel/Air BNB type of landing spot for people either living or visiting the Miami Beach area. However, it used to be owned by Enrique Iglesias not too many years ago. He sold it for just under $25 million and now you can rent it out yourself for just $9,999 a night! And yes, the people renting out the rooms are still very well-off.

What do you get for your stay at the Villa Jasmine in South Beach? Well, it’s located on Sunset Island, a spectacular area with waterside views of the Miami Beach inlet. As you can see in the picture, it is truly a breathtaking view that is worth every dollar spent. Some families have hosted weddings here. Others have stayed for the summer while some just come for one night to take in their surroundings while they visit the Miami area. Although not the most expensive house on this list, Villa Jasmine stands tall at number one simply because it is the most aesthetically pleasing. It caps off our list but anyone of us would be lucky to spend a night in any of these lovely Miami homes and somehow be “mansion-owners” for a day or two.
