What Miami-Dade County does
to a freezer.

Where freezers sit in Miami-Dade County: on the water, tower living, seasonal houses.

All of Miami / South Florida

On the water

A garage freezer caught by a storm surge is written off more often than any other kind of flooded freezer, because brine soaks the foam insulation in its walls and the compressor compartment at its base; the food that sat in the water goes in the trash, and the cabinet is judged by a technician before anyone plugs it in.

Tower living

Defrost water from a freezer column in a condo has one route, a tube to a pan above the floor, and if that tube clogs the overflow runs under the cabinets toward the apartment below, so a small puddle at the toe kick is treated as urgent in a tower.

Seasonal houses

A seasonal house left with a stocked freezer is a bet that the power stays on for months, and owners who cannot check in are safer leaving it empty, cleaned and propped open, or fitting a temperature alarm that reaches their phone.

Aventura

Towers along the Intracoastal whose winter residents leave a freezer running and nearly empty from spring to fall, so a slow warm-up or an iced back panel is discovered only when they return in November.

Bal Harbour

Bal Harbour incorporated on August 14, 1946, after its developer moved 25 families into converted Army Air Corps barracks to qualify.

Brickell

Glass towers with freezer drawers or a slim freezer column in each unit, where an owner living abroad hears of a warm freezer from building staff, and the building's generator keeps elevators and pumps running in an outage, not apartment kitchens.

Coconut Grove

Bayside houses and cottages under a heavy canopy of trees, where a fallen limb on a line cuts the power often, and a chest freezer in the garage is kept full because a full cabinet holds its cold longer.

Coral Gables

Mediterranean Revival houses with a garage freezer stocked at the start of every hurricane season, whose owners want to know how long the food will hold if the power stays off for days.

Golden Beach

Golden Beach occupies a strip of barrier island in far northeast Miami-Dade County, with the Intracoastal on one side and the ocean on the other.

Key Biscayne

An island that empties under evacuation orders, where a freezer left behind can go days without power, and returning owners decide whether to empty it and whether seawater reached the garage before it is switched on.

Miami Beach

Hundreds of buildings from 1923 to 1943, hotels and apartment houses among them, make up the Art Deco Historic District.

Pinecrest

Most of Pinecrest's older housing comes from a 1950s and 1960s wave of ranch homes set on one-acre lots.

Sunny Isles Beach

Sunny Isles Beach is on a barrier island between the Atlantic and the Intracoastal Waterway and has the 14th tallest skyline in the country.
