Condos near Florida International University (FIU) rarely check all the boxes at a price that still feels realistic. This 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom corner unit at South Winds Condo does exactly that.

Location and lifestyle near FIU

South Winds Condo sits in the 33174 zip code, in an established part of west Miami near Coral Way, Bird Road, and the FIU campus. For many buyers, this location is about one thing: you get college area convenience without living in the middle of student housing.

From this first floor unit you have quick access to:

• Florida International University (FIU) and FIU adjacent employers.
• Walmart, LA Fitness, and neighborhood shopping centers along the arterial roads.
• Bus routes and public transportation that make car light living more realistic.
• Key connectors into Dolphin Expressway, Turnpike, and Palmetto for broader Miami commutes.

This is the kind of location that works for an FIU student, faculty member, nurse or professional who needs an easy commute, and also for investors who want a tenant pool that stays consistent over time.

Interior features and first floor corner layout

Inside, the MLS describes this as a charming 2 bed, 1 bath corner unit on the first floor. The corner position and ground level access are both advantages. Fewer shared walls, less stair climbing, and easier day to day living.

Key interior updates and features called out in the remarks include:

• Updated kitchen with more modern finishes than the original 1970s build.
• Remodeled bathroom that feels fresh instead of dated.
• Laminate or ceramic flooring for durability and easy cleaning.
• Hurricane shutters for added protection during storm season.
• Closet cabinetry and walk in closets that help the space live larger.
• First floor entry and accessibility equipped elements.

The unit design is labeled as a corner garden apartment with interior hall access. That combination gives you garden level feel, with the added security of an interior hallway and controlled building access.

Community amenities and security

South Winds is not a bare bones complex. The amenities list reads more like a small resort than a simple apartment building. The MLS calls out:

• Gated, fenced complex with card entry and fire alarm systems.
• Swimming pool and spa or hot tub for residents.
• Clubhouse and community room for gatherings and meetings.
• BBQ and picnic areas for weekends and holidays.
• Business center and hobby room that add usable space beyond your unit.
• Common laundry facilities in the community.

For many buyers at this price point, those amenities and the gated environment are what separate South Winds from older, unmanaged buildings in the same area.

Parking, HOA, and 40 year certification

Parking can be a real pain near FIU. This unit comes with one assigned parking space plus guest parking inside the gated community. The rules note that trucks and trailers are not allowed, which is consistent with many condo associations in Miami.

On the financial side, the association information shows:

• Monthly HOA fee around $309, paid to a condominium association.
• The HOA is described as including all amenities, water, landscaping, and more.
• 40 year certification passed, a significant box to check in the Miami condo market.
• The remarks highlight no special assessments currently in place.

The tax section notes an annual tax amount of about $3,198 for the 2024 tax year, with taxes reflecting county only. Your actual tax bill as a new owner can change based on your purchase price and exemptions, so it is always smart to have your lender and title team run accurate projections.

Investor friendly and pet friendly

What really makes this unit stand out is how investor friendly and practical it is. The MLS notes:

• Minimum lease period of 365 days and one lease per year.
• Okay to lease in the first year of ownership, not a waiting period building.
• Pet friendly community with a nonrefundable pet fee around $100 and some restrictions.

For investors, that combination means you can close, prepare the unit, and place a tenant under a standard annual lease. For owner occupants, it gives you the flexibility to convert the condo into a rental in a future life stage if your plans change.

Financing terms in the MLS include all cash and conventional. In practice, a strong pre approval and clean file will help you compete if there is more than one offer on the table.

Who this South Winds condo is ideal for

In real life, this condo fits best for a few buyer profiles:

• FIU students or faculty who want to own rather than rent during their time at the university, with the option to hold the condo as a rental later.
• First time buyers who want a move in ready, gated condo near shopping and transit, with a monthly cost that stays close to what they would pay in rent.
• Investors who like smaller, low maintenance units in strong rental corridors near FIU and major job centers.

You are not buying a luxury high rise on the bay. You are buying a practical, updated, first floor corner unit in a gated community with amenities, low HOA, and completed structural recertification. For a lot of buyers in this price band, that is exactly what they want.
