I just went to Miami for the first time. I loved Miami Beach. Also surprised by how relatively inexpensive real estate was.

It's the hurricane and flood insurance that are insane

It's not just the price, it's whether you can get financing for it. As noted elsewhere, there are areas where a 30 year mortgage is simply not an option.

Compared to what? South Florida real estate is pretty expensive, compared to the rest of the US.

Most of Miami outside of the immediate vicinity of downtown Miami and Miami beach is pretty affordable as far as coastal cities go, especially compared to ones with Miami-caliber weather.

Not sure what the climate change situations are, but there are condos in an amazing location (Brickell Key) which go for like $300-400k for a 2bed.

Maybe this guy is from San Fran or Manhattan. In which case, yeah, 2 or 3 thousand square feet on South Beach seem "cheap".

But compared to most of the US, South Beach is pretty expensive.
