Miami-Dade County Public Schools assigns schools by address. Every Nautilus address falls in these zones on the county’s attendance boundary layers:

| Elementary | North Beach Elementary, 4100 Prairie Ave. | A |
| Middle | Nautilus Middle, 4301 N. Michigan Ave. | A |

Nautilus Middle, the zoned middle school for every Miami Beach address on the county’s layer, is inside the neighborhood; North Beach Elementary is a few blocks south on Prairie Avenue. Grades are from the Florida Department of Education; each name links to the school’s state report card. Check an address with the district’s School Locator. More in our schools guide.
Home values
The typical home value in ZIP 33140 was $684,957 in August 2026, up 2.4% from $669,068 in August 2025, according to the Zillow Home Value Index. The index is a modeled typical value for the middle third of homes, single-family homes and condos together, not a sale price. It covers all of 33140, including the Mid-Beach condo towers, so it is not a figure for Nautilus houses alone; the county’s property search shows each parcel’s assessed value and recent sales. Zillow’s figure for Miami Beach as a whole was $522,429, up 1.0% on the year. More in our home prices guide.
