Upper-Middle Class beach town about 5 miles north of Miami Beach. Nicer than Miami Beach, but not as rich as its neighbors, Bal Harbour and Golden Beach.
Also known as "Condo Beach" due the large number of high rise condos built on the beach, blocking the beach view of older homes.

Sunny Isles Beach was a nice town before they put in all those big ugly condo buildings. All those BMW-driving asshole yuppie New Yorkers are driving me nuts! I used to be able to see the beach from my house, now all I see is the service entrance to the 40-story condo building, and the sun doesn't shine on my house before 11AM.

A crappy, overpriced, undersized apartment that real-estate agents market as trendy. Frequently located in a crappy ghetto and/or a contaminated former industrial building, facts that the real estate agent also downplays.
Real Estate Agent: Look at these new lofts, priced from $1500/month. They're in a vibrant new neighborhood in a historic landmark building.
Really: A 400 square foot walk-up apartment with a cheap coat of paint hiding the asbestos. Should rent for $500/month, but some sucker is willing to pay $1500. The neighborhood is almost never as nice as the brochures make it out to be.
