Sunset Views Over the Intracoastal
The 500’s signature is its western exposure: floor-to-ceiling sunsets over the waterway, marina lights after dark, and the downtown Miami skyline on the horizon. East-facing stacks still catch ocean glimpses, but buyers choose this tower for the evening show.
The community marina keeps the boating lifestyle affordable (no private dock fees, no yacht-club dues) which is a large part of why long-term owners stay for decades.
Big Floor Plans, Sensible Prices
At 1,100-plus square feet for typical two-bedrooms, Winston Tower 500 delivers room counts that new-construction buyers pay double to match. Compared with ocean-side Winston Tower 600, Winston Tower 500 buyers trade sunrise for square footage, a trade plenty of full-time residents happily make.
Renovated units compete with buildings decades newer; original-condition units offer investors and end-users a value-add canvas in a proven location.
Winston Tower 500's waterway orientation makes the community marina the daily backdrop: boats, sunsets, and Intracoastal views from the western stacks. Samson Oceanfront Park is a short walk east for beach mornings, and the Norman S. Edelcup K-8 school serves families. Milam's Market on Collins is the grocery run, Aventura Mall minutes west, and Timo ($$$) handles dinner. Waterway-side buyers also compare Winston Tower 700 and Winston Tower 400.
Winston Tower 500 Frequently Asked Questions
❯ Is Winston Tower 500 waterfront?
Yes, it stands at 301 174th St on the Intracoastal side, with many units overlooking the waterway and marina activity. The ocean is a short trip east, but the daily view here is boats, sunsets, and the Miami skyline rather than surf.
❯ Can I keep a boat nearby?
The Winston Towers enclave includes community boat dock and marina facilities, a rare amenity at this price point. Slip assignments, fees, and waitlists are handled by the association, so ask early if boating is central to your plans.
❯ What are the units like inside?
Predominantly spacious two-bedroom, two-bath layouts between about 1,104 and 1,488 square feet, with balconies built for watching the waterway. Many owners have renovated kitchens and baths, so condition (and pricing) varies meaningfully from unit to unit.
❯ Is it a good rental investment?
The building has a well-established rental market with demand from seasonal visitors and year-round tenants drawn by the waterfront setting. Verify current minimum lease terms, tenant approval requirements, and any rental caps with the association before buying for income.
❯ What’s the pet situation?
Association rules govern pets, and listings have noted dog-friendly policies with restrictions. Pet rules are among the most commonly amended condo rules anywhere, so get the current policy in writing rather than relying on a listing description.
❯ How does the HOA handle a 1970s building?
Through steady reserves and periodic restoration projects, as with all vintage coastal towers, sibling Winston Tower 400 follows the same playbook. Review the milestone inspection status, reserve funding, and any special assessments; this homework matters more than the sticker price.
