5 South Florida beach homes for under $1M

Welcome to Miami’s Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent or buy for a set dollar amount across various South Florida neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out!

Last week we looked at what Miami’s median home price of $389,000 could buy across the county.
