Insider Notes from Ricky
  • Porto Vita South Tower is a 35-story mid-high-rise at 19955 38th Ct, Aventura, FL 33180, built 2000. Currently 7 active listings on the market, with active asking prices ranging up to $3.7M.
  • Neighborhood: Aventura. Aventura is a city of about 40,000 that didn't exist before 1995 -- anchored by the Aventura Mall (one of the largest shopping centers in the U.S.), threaded with intracoastal canals carved into private islands. Williams Island and Prive are the gated mini-communities; Turnberry sets the golf-club tone.
  • Buyer profile here: Primary-residence and family buyers, less investor-heavy than Sunny Isles. Significant international ownership.
  • Built 2000 (now 26 years old) -- past Florida's 25-year structural recertification trigger.
  • Mid-luxury tier with active inventory ranging up to $3.7M.
  • At 35 stories, Porto Vita South Tower is mid-rise scale -- a typical balance of view exposure and intimate community feel.
  • Compared anchor: Compared to Sunny Isles (beachfront, oceanfront tower density), Aventura is inland by 5-10 minutes but has more parking, retail, and stronger public schools.
  • Rental rules vary per association in this market -- most Miami-Dade condos require 6 or 12-month minimum leases. Verify per-association before assuming Airbnb potential.
  • Pre-offer diligence: Aventura's city ordinance generally requires 6-month minimum rentals; most associations stricter at 12-month.
  • Ricky has worked the Aventura market for years and can pull HOA documents, recent comps, and reserve study status on any unit you're considering. Text (305) 33-RICKY -- that's (305) 337-4259 -- for a same-week walk-through.
What to Verify
Flood Zone: This unit is in flood zone AE. High-risk flood zone (Special Flood Hazard Area). Federal flood insurance required for federally-backed mortgages.
Building Age: Built in 2000 (26 years old).
Ricky will verify all of the above with the HOA before closing.
