4 units in the record sit outside this grid (CAB6, CAB14, CAB23, PH K/L): 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.

Built in 1961, Crystal House is a 14-story mid-rise at 5055 Collins Ave in Mid-Beach. The Miami-Dade Property Appraiser lists 180 residential units, averaging 1,238 SF of living area.

On November 2, 2026, four units were listed for sale, asking $95K to $675K (median ask $488/SF across 4 listings). Two sales closed between November 2, 2025 and November 2, 2026, from $500K to $635K, $383 and $397/SF. The year before saw six closed sales. The MLS holds 38 closed sales here going back to 2020; among years with three or more sales, 2022 set the high at a median $476/SF. Two-bedrooms made up six of the 8 sales in the last 24 months, at a median $521,000.

Six units were offered for rent at $2,600 to $3,999 a month. 11 leases were signed over the same 12 months, at a median $3,900 a month (range $2,500 to $8,500). Leases outnumbered sales 6 to 1 over that year, so renters are a large share of who lives here.

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 1991

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 1961 (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
