The largest typical unit is line 01, a median 760 sf over 3 units seen, recorded with 2 bedrooms.

2 units in the record sit outside this grid (203, 506 (406)): penthouse, townhouse or ground-level numbers, or lines seen only once or twice.

How this is drawn: a unit's floor and line come from its MLS unit number alone (5614 is floor 56, line 14). A cell exists only where the MLS has recorded a listing, a closing or a lease; a blank means no record was seen, not that no unit exists. Column widths follow each line's median recorded living area. Pre-construction towers and buildings with a thin record have no drawing.

The read on The Drake.

Activity as of Nov 2, 2026
  • Resale +7%. The median closed price moved from $440/SF in 2022 (4 sales) to $470/SF in 2025 (3 sales), the first and last years with three or more recorded sales.
  • Gross rental yield 9.4%. A year of rent at the median $3.93/SF/mo (7 leases) against the median $500/SF sale (3 sales), both over 12 months, before HOA, taxes and vacancy.
  • Asks run +25% against closings. Sellers ask a median $623/SF (4 listings) against $500/SF closed (3 sales, 12 months). That gap is negotiation room. Bring the comps.
  • Sells in a median 203 days. Days on market across the 3 sales closed in the last 12 months.
  • A renters' building. Leases outnumbered sales 2 to 1 over the last 12 months (7 leases, 3 sales), at a median $3,000 a month.

Read the full record 4 paragraphs and 10 facts, every figure from the MLS and county record

Built in 1937, The Drake is a four-story low-rise at 1460 Ocean Dr in South Beach. The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser lists 30 residential units, averaging 795 SF of living area.

On November 2, 2026, four units were listed for sale, asking $295K to $425K (median ask $623/SF across 4 listings). Three sales closed between November 2, 2025 and November 2, 2026, from $120K to $799K, a median $500/SF, after a median 203 days on the market. The year before saw two closed sales. That 12-month median ranks 61st of the 83 South Beach buildings with at least three sales in the same window. Two-bedrooms made up four of the 5 sales in the last 24 months, at a median $337,500.

Two units were offered for rent at $2,200 to $3,500 a month. Seven leases were signed over the same 12 months, at a median $3,000 a month (range $2,500 to $4,800). Leases outnumbered sales 2 to 1 over that year, so renters are a large share of who lives here.

About 27% of the residences are owner-occupied according to county records, which points to an investor-heavy ownership base.

FEMA flood zone

AE

Inside FEMA's Special Flood Hazard Area. A federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance here.

What the zone means
  • The 1% annual chance ("100-year") flood area, with a base flood elevation set.
  • Base flood elevation 8 ft (NGVD29).
  • The zone is a map line, not a premium. Ask the association for its master flood policy, and get a flood quote for the specific unit before you commit.

Milestone structural inspection

Turned 30 in 1967

The statute's first deadline for a building this age was December 31, 2024, then every 10 years.

What the deadline means
  • Based on year built 1937 (county record). The statute counts from the certificate of occupancy date, which can differ.
  • The association must give every owner the inspector's summary. Ask for it, and for the structural integrity reserve study, before you commit.

Fla. Stat. § 553.899(3) ↗ and Miami-Dade recertification ↗, read Oct 9, 2026. What the deadline means for buyers
