Time for another edition of Million Dollar Monday. A look at what a couple of mill will get you in Miami. This gem is located at 3360 NE 170 ST
and will only set you back $2,790,000 for 5 Bedrooms, 5.5 Baths. Jonathan can hook you up.
On August 9th a new TV show will premiere showing some of the areas of Miami that are less popular with the tourists. Bounty Girls is a reality show featuring a team of four ladies tracking down criminals for the Sunshine State Bail Bonds Agency. No photos have been released yet, but filming is taking place in preparation for the August premiere.
Million Dollar Monday is a regular feature on About Miami, and this week’s home for sale is in Golden Beach. Listed for $16,500,000 with Guillermo Garcia, this lovely abode includes a panoramic ocean view, marble floors, heated pool, fitness center … and an elevator, just in case you drink too much at the wet bar and can’t make it up the stairs.
That’s the word according to local news guy, Brian Andrews. Let’s face it, living in South Beach requires a lot of money, or you got lucky and inherited property from your grandparents.
City officials are finally acknowledging this and are taking steps to keep economic diversity in place by offering $500 per month housing to qualified applicants. Via CBS we learn that:
"If you’re a single person, making about $31,000 a year, you would qualify for housing here," said Assistant City Manager Hilda Fernandez.
The City of Miami Beach is putting up nearly $14 million to help the developer purchase three old hotels near the convention center: The Allen, The London House, and Barclay Plaza.
Sounds good and I like that the city is waking up to the fact that not everyone in South Beach is a celebrity or heiress, and the restaurants, hotels and clubs are staffed by average, hard working people and that they need decent housing. I hope the city keeps adding more addresses to this list. Go here to learn more.

Time for another edition of Million Dollar Monday where I highlight what you could buy if you had several million dollars in your back pocket, $4.1 to be exact. This week’s property is located at 25 Grand Bay Estates, Key Biscayne. Oh, if you don’t have that much cash laying around, you can rent it for $20K per month - unfurnished of course. Wow, what a bargain. This nice polyglot would be happy to show you around.

Funny, I wasn’t invited.

I’m sure Fidel has more than a few million, but this post is about local Miami resident, Juanita Castro, Fidel Castro’s estranged, younger sister. Castro has sold the building that once housed her local drug store and the triplex next door for $2.2 million. Oh, capitalism. Why must Fidel keep his people from its sweet, sweet rewards?
