Crystal Beach questions, answered

Can international buyers purchase here?
Yes. There's no citizenship or residency requirement to buy property in Florida, and foreign-national financing is available. We connect you with lenders who specialize in international buyers.

They vary widely by building and amenities and can be significant in luxury oceanfront towers — and they make a real difference to your monthly cost. A vetted local agent can walk you through the fees building by building before you commit.
