Surfside occupies a choice location in Miami-Dade, in the area from 88 Street to 96 Street. The small community, only nine blocks long and ten blocks wide, is nestled between Miami Beach and Bal Harbour, the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway. The ocean, the Bal Harbour Shops, restaurants, parks and an elementary school are within walking distance for the town's 4,500 residents.
Surfside's two-block-long business district, which was recently renovated with new sidewalks and landscaping, is along Harding Avenue. It has a variety of businesses, professional offices and restaurants. Ruth K. Broad/Bay Harbor Elementary School, which moved into a new facility two years ago, serves Surfside, Bay Harbor Islands, Bal Harbour and parts of surrounding municipalities.
Surfside has several community recreational facilities including the Tennis Center, Surfside Park and Hawthorne Park Tot Lot, all of which have been extensively renovated in the last few years. The Recreation Department is housed in the Community Center. While all of these community assets stand out on their own, the thing that makes Surfside most impressive is its strong and consistent commitment to the quality of life of its residents.
Old and new houses are mixed together in a quiet, peaceful and relaxed neighborhood setting. The Condominiums and hotels along the oceanfront on Collins Avenue are not permitted to exceed 12 stories in height. No matter whether you are a long-time resident of the Town or a new visitor, one thing ties everyone together while they are in Surfside, you can call Surfside home. You will find Surfside's local services to be amongst the best in America and you will enjoy the comfort and attractiveness of the community.
