48 Hours in Miami
A weekend itinerary for buyers who want to understand the city rather than the postcard.
Two days is enough to read Miami properly, provided you spend them in neighborhoods rather than lobbies.
Friday
Land early, take breakfast in Coconut Grove and walk the sailing club waterfront. Spend the afternoon in Coral Gables to see how the city's oldest planned district has aged, then dinner in Little Haiti or the Design District.
Saturday
Morning on the water — a boat is the only honest way to understand waterfront pricing. Afternoon in Wynwood for galleries and studios; evening in Brickell to feel the density that drives the rental market.
Sunday
Beach early, then a slow drive up Collins Avenue through Surfside and Bal Harbour to Sunny Isles, watching the architecture change decade by decade.
By Sunday evening most buyers know which Miami is theirs. That is the point of the exercise.
