Marbella

Updated June 2026

Marbella is a small, three-story, 36-residence condominium at 12890 NE 8th Avenue in North Miami. The building dates to 1971 and was converted to condominiums in 2006. Layouts run from studios to two bedrooms, and the appeal is an affordable, low-density address close to FIU and Barry University.

Marbella is the kind of building that does one thing well: it gives you an entry price into North Miami without the dues of a full-amenity tower. Three stories, 36 units, built in 1971 and converted to condominiums in 2006. Floor plans run from studios to two bedrooms, and the low unit count keeps the building quiet and the carrying costs modest.

Key takeaways

  • Marbella is a three-story, 36-residence condominium at 12890 NE 8th Avenue in North Miami, built in 1971 and converted to condos in 2006.
  • Layouts run from studios to two bedrooms, and the building is built for affordability and low carrying costs rather than resort amenities.
  • There are 6 active units for sale at Marbella, priced $139,000 – $185,000 (SEFMLS, live), so there is real, current inventory to compare against.
  • On a small association, the reserve fund and any special assessment carry real weight, because there are few units to spread costs across. Confirm both in writing.

What it's actually like to live here

This is low-rise, low-drama living. Three floors, a pool, on-site laundry, and assigned parking, in a building small enough that you will know your neighbors. There is no concierge or spa here, and that is the point: the trade-off is a lower price and lower monthly dues than the towers along Biscayne Boulevard.

A quiet three-story building with a pool and assigned parking, priced for a first purchase or a rental.

Floor plans and what units cost

Marbella runs from studios to two-bedroom units, so the spread comes down to size and condition. As of the latest MLS pull there are 6 active units asking $139,000 – $185,000. The middle of that sat near $150,000, or about $214 a square foot (SEFMLS, live).

Monthly maintenance runs around $988 at the median across active units. On a 36-unit association, ask exactly what the dues cover and whether reserves are funded, because a small building has fewer owners to absorb a big repair.

Studios to two bedrooms, where condition and floor plan drive the price more than anything else.

The North Miami location

The address is 12890 NE 8th Avenue, in the heart of North Miami. FIU’s Biscayne Bay Campus and Barry University are both close, the Biscayne Boulevard retail corridor is minutes away, and the beaches and Aventura Mall are a short drive east. The map, walk-time list, and nearby-buildings sections above show exactly what is within reach.

Buying and owning at Marbella

Marbella is a starter-priced North Miami condo, the type of building that works for a first purchase or a buy-and-hold rental rather than a lifestyle play. There are currently 6 active units on the market (SEFMLS, live), so there is real inventory to price against. With only 36 units, the health of the small association is the main variable, so read the budget and the rental rules before you commit.

Before you commit, confirm three things in writing: the reserve balance and any active or planned special assessment, the building’s inspection status, and the leasing rules if you plan to rent. On a small, older association those three points decide whether the low price is a deal or a future bill.

An entry-priced North Miami condo where the small association budget is the number that matters.
