What can you walk to from the buildings in Bal Harbour?
Counted within 0.25 mi of each building — about five minutes on foot — OpenStreetMap lists between 0 places (Bellini Bal Harbour) and 8 (Fendi Chateau Residences). Around the 4 buildings together that is 6 restaurant counts, 0 cafés, 2 supermarkets and 1 parks; nearby buildings share places, so the totals overlap and are not a count of the neighbourhood. The middle building of the list has 1. The categories are restaurants, cafés, bars, supermarkets, pharmacies, gyms and parks. OpenStreetMap is mapped by volunteers, so a place nobody has mapped does not count: read every number as a floor. The same count, building by building, is on each building's page.
How far is Bal Harbour from the airport, Brickell and the beach?
From the 4 buildings, measured in a straight line: Brickell City Centre is 14.69–16.16 away, the Brickell Metromover station 15.12–16.59 away, Lummus Park on Miami Beach 11.41–13.14 away and Miami International Airport 19.19–20.0 away. Closest to Brickell City Centre: Fendi Chateau Residences (9.1 mi); farthest: The Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbour (10.0 mi). Those are straight lines between real coordinates, not driving routes, so by road every trip is longer. Coordinates come from OpenStreetMap (Nominatim); every distance is computed with the haversine formula against reference points geocoded the same way, which means anyone can repeat the calculation and get the same figures. Each building's page has its own five distances.
Can you rent short term in Bal Harbour?
For the 4 buildings in Bal Harbour there is no source, so no rule is stated: each one says to confirm with building management. The association decides whether short stays are allowed, how often a unit can be let and whether tenants are registered first, and it can change its mind, which is why even a quoted rule should be confirmed in writing before buying for rental income. See short-term rentals in Bal Harbour, the full list Carolina publishes, across every neighbourhood, each line with its source. Of the 37 buildings with their own page on this site, 2 have a quotable rule and 35 do not; Carolina's own list names 28 buildings across Miami.
