It may only be a matter of time before Miami Beach welcomes a high-profile, famous couple as its new residents. Power couple David and Victoria Beckham are currently shopping for a new home right here in the barrier island after spending time in Miami Beach during the spring and summer. In case you have no idea who we are talking about, let’s give you some background.

David Beckham is a retired English soccer player who played for various teams during his athletic career, including Real Madrid, the LA Galaxy, and Manchester United. He has the distinction of being the first English player to achieve league title wins in four different countries. After an illustrious career spanning twenty years and nineteen major trophies, Beckham retired in 2013.

Victoria Beckham achieved fame as a member of the highly successful female pop group Spice Girls. Their debut album Spice released in 1996 remains the biggest selling album by a female group in the world. Since the group’s heyday, Beckham has achieved success as a fashion designer.

The Beckhams (married since 1999) have four children and are reportedly seeking mansion with at least six bedrooms here in Miami Beach or potentially in the upscale Fisher Island or one of the six Venetian Islands. If they do move to South Florida, they will likely achieve a level of fame similar to Miami Beach’s other power couples like longtime residents Emilio and Gloria Estefan.

For those of you that don’t have any plans yet for the upcoming Fourth of July celebrations, you may wish to consider visiting Miami Beach’s North Beach Bandshell Park.

Around noon, the Kids Zone on the Sands will be open allowing the younger ones to participate in activities like face painting, rock climbing, potato sack racing, and much more.

For anyone who would like to give back in some way on Independence Day, Operation Thank You will be at the festival collecting cards to send to troops as a way of showing thanks for    the brave, incredible work they do.

Of course, no event would be complete without some great music to enjoy. DJ Corey Chase will be taking care of musical duties beginning at noon. At 4 pm, local favorite Suenalo will take the stage. The band has earned the designation as Best Band by the Miami New Times three times. After dancing through the Junkanoo Parade, stick around to catch the musical stylings of Irma Thomas and The Professionals at 6:15 followed by Grammy Award-winning Rebirth Brass Band as the closing act.

Memorial Day weekend is upon us, which means Miami Beach will be seeing tons of activity as people head to the sunny sands for a suntan, to Ocean Drive for a drink, to Lincoln Road for a great meal, or to one of the many free events in store. To deal with the expected crowds, Miami Beach Police is taking several measures to keep things orderly and under control, including traffic.

To get around Miami Beach this weekend without too much stress there are several things to keep in mind. A large array of license plate readers are being used to scan each and every tag that intends on visiting Miami Beach. These readers will be distributed in a variety of ways including at certain intersections or on top of law enforcement vehicles. As a result, all traffic on the causeways will be funneled to a single lane.

For those planning on visiting Ocean Drive, there is currently no vehicular traffic allowed and it will remain this way until 7 am on Tuesday. Beginning tomorrow, South Beach will be turned into a traffic loop, meaning vehicles will only be allowed to travel northbound on Collins Avenue to 16^th Street. Traffic will then continue west to Washington Avenue which will become a southbound only lane until 5^th Street. There will be limited access to residential areas and locals will be required to show proof of residency should they wish to enter.

Would you be willing to spend more than $250,000 for the chance to live in the middle of Miami Beach in a studio apartment measuring 350 square feet? If it seems interesting, the rise of micro-units is a growing trend you may wish to look into.

True to their name, micro-units are tiny apartments that come furnished and are aimed at people that wish to live in some of the trendiest neighborhoods but cannot afford to pay the sometimes exorbitant market rates to live there. Real estate developers are placing their bets on the concept and there are already a few of them in the works. A seventy-unit residential/hotel project on Collins Avenue called the 6080 Boutique Hotel is scheduled to be complete in July and it will have units ranging from 350 to 900 square feet in size for a pair of bedrooms. This project is only one of many that are scheduled to debut in Miami as well as in neighboring Broward County.

The micro-unit developments are intended to seize upon zoning and building codes that allow for greater density and better use of land while lower requirements in regards to parking. Building costs are also more than fifteen percent lower. These developments are also rich in amenities, boasting pools, fitness centers, play spaces, and more.
