According to the Zillow Home Value Index data as of November 30, 2024, the 25 most expensive neighborhoods in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach metropolitan area demonstrate remarkable concentration of wealth, with a median home value of $4,691,031 and a mean value of $6,371,554. This significant difference between the median and mean is driven by several ultra-luxury enclaves, particularly Gables Estates in Coral Gables, where the average home value exceeds $21 million – more than three times the mean of this elite group.
The analysis reveals distinct geographic patterns in South Florida’s luxury real estate market, with Coral Gables emerging as the epicenter of ultra-luxury property, claiming three of the top five most expensive neighborhoods. Miami Beach’s Venetian Islands command significant premiums, with four islands ranking in the top 10, while Jupiter in the north has emerged as a new luxury hub with three communities in the top 25. The nine-year appreciation trends show dramatic growth in certain areas, with El Cid in West Palm Beach and Admirals Cove in Jupiter experiencing increases of 239.9% and 224.1% respectively, highlighting the dynamic nature of the region’s high-end real estate market.
