Surfside is a beautiful small oceanfront community located along the northern coastline of Miami-Dade County. With a population of only 5,600 Surfside combines a tranquil, attractive, residential neighborhood with a traditional "home town" shopping district and a number of resorts, hotels and motels which host tourists and other visitors all year around.

Founded in 1935, Surfside was incorporated by members of the Surf Club, a private club. The town recently purchased a lot next to the Community Center to insure that there will be additional open space oceanfront property for the future of the community. The Community Center is open 7 days a week, is used for many activities and functions day and night, and is a favorite of residents and visitors of all ages. The Recreation Department is housed in the Community Center but Surfside has several other 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.

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 A1A are not permitted to exceed 12 stories in height. The town has enacted zoning policies and ordinances that protect the character of the community.

In addition to effective growth management and zoning policies the town's officials have also implemented traffic control measures that provide high levels of peace and protection to all residents and visitors in the town. Garbage and trash is collected from all residences, businesses, and public areas six days a week. Emergency police response time is approximately one minute. Entertainment and recreation programs are offered throughout the year. The town operates on a balanced budget, and the property tax rate has not been increased one bit for over a decade. This setting has produced pride in the community's record of positive results and achievement in the public interest.

In May 2007, the average home sales price for a single family home or condo in Surfside, FL was $553,500. While this data is collected from the MLS and deemed reliable, it is not guaranteed.
