North Bay Village Condos

North Bay Village Condos are currently available for rent and sale in one of South Florida's premier communities. North Bay Village, located in Miami-Dade County, nestles in the waters of Biscayne Bay, with ready access to both Miami and Miami Beach. The three island city features stunning tropical beauty, but with a population of less than 7000, enjoys small town friendliness and a community feel. The city, situated over three man-made islands (until the mid 1940's the majority of the current city's landmass was under water) in the stunning waters of Biscayne Bay, was incorporated in 1945. Over the years its year-round mild climate and reputation as a tropical haven with wonderful dining and friendly locals attracted luminaries such as Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland. The area of the city is just under 60% water, made up of North Bay Village Island, Harbor Island and Treasure Island which are linked to one another by the John F. Kennedy Causeway. North Bay Village features a rare, ideal combination of a secluded haven feel protected from the mainland with convenient easy access to Miami, Miami Beach and all the major beaches and airports of South Florida.

For many years, North Bay Village was a popular winter destination dwelling with the majority of residents living on the Islands for around 4 months of the year, but over the years the desirable lifestyle offered by the community has attracted year round residents. North Bay Village Condos provide accessibility to the great school program - Treasure Island Elementary has enjoyed status as 'A' listed school for both the 2004-05 and 2003-04 school years thanks to the students' impressive performance in FCAT (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test) and excellent before and after school programs including free to all students FCAT preparation classes and an Academic Excellence Program. The population of North Bay Village is spread over generations, with the median age being 35. The population is split fairly evenly between males and females - creating a community that features an eclectic mix of young and mature families, singles and seniors.

North Bay Village is home to one of the country's pioneer radio stations, WIOD, which broadcast from Broadcast Key (annexed as part of the city in 1963) from 1926. Today Broadcast Key is home to the local television station. The creative and arts-related charm of the area is further increased by the fact that the street names on Treasure Island derive from names in the classic children's novel, Treasure Island. North Bay Village Condos have similarly poetic names: Blue Bay Tower, Treasure Island Cove and Breeze all augment to the charming lifestyle offered by the area. The community feel is enhanced by the free passenger bus that ferries residents and visitors to local supermarkets and shopping malls, and the yearly Beautification Awards speak volumes about the pride residents feel for their community. A recent construction of a seven-foot flamingo by the local police at a local elementary school to educate school kids on the dangers of drugs is testament to the safe community atmosphere. . In addition to convenience to Miami's world renowned nightlife, residents and vacationers in North Bay Village are regaled with local first class dining in some of South Florida's premier restaurants. Roger's Waterfront Bar & Grill, on the Causeway in North Bay Village, is often noted by visitors for great food and child friendly atmosphere. Siam Bayshore provides excellent Asian cuisine, and Oggi Caffe is also noted for a romantic dining experience. More
