Where Does Chayanne Live in Florida? Inside His Miami Beach Bayfront Home

Where does Chayanne live? The Puerto Rican singer lives in Miami Beach, in a two-story house on the bay side of the island with a private dock on Biscayne Bay. He shares it with his wife, Marilisa Maronesse, and their two children. Reports say the family has owned the home for close to two decades. Below is what outlets have published about the property, where the numbers disagree, and what it says about the market around it.

Key takeaways

• Miami Beach, on the North Bay Road waterfront: the same bayfront corridor where Alejandro Sanz once lived, per Diario Las Americas.
• Built in 2003 and valued between $5 million and nearly $10 million depending on the outlet; the purchase price was not reported.
• About 6,500 square feet with five bedrooms, six and a half bathrooms, a pool, spa, gym and dock, per Semana and La Opinion.
• Miami Beach median list price is about $650,000 on roughly 2,500 listings, per our MLS feed as of September 2026; bayfront houses sit far above that.

Where does Chayanne live in Florida?

Chayanne lives in Miami Beach, in Miami-Dade County. His house sits on the bay side of the island along North Bay Road. That waterfront strip runs north from the Venetian Causeway and has drawn entertainers for decades. Homes there face west over Biscayne Bay toward the downtown skyline, and most have docks. Diario Las Americas describes his home as one of the best-known on that stretch. The tour boats that cruise the bay point it out.

Elmer Figueroa Arce, known as Chayanne, was born in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico, in 1968. He started in the boy band Los Chicos as a child and went solo in the 1980s. By the 2000s he was one of the biggest touring acts in Latin pop, and Miami became his base. Reports say the family has lived in the Miami Beach house for close to twenty years. That fits a move-in soon after the house went up in 2003.

Pure Equity does not publish private addresses. We name the neighborhood and leave the street number out, and we suggest readers do the same.

Inside the reported Miami Beach home

The house was built in 2003, according to Diario Las Americas, which makes it a newer build than most of its North Bay Road neighbors. Semana and La Opinion put the size at 6,507 square feet over two floors, with five bedrooms and six and a half bathrooms. Diario Las Americas listed a large foyer, a kitchen, dining and living rooms, a laundry room, a garage and gardens.

The outdoor setup is what draws the boat tours. Reports describe a pool, a spa and jacuzzi, a fitness area and a private dock with a boat tied up. The lot faces the bay directly. Diario Las Americas noted the design ties the indoor rooms to the outdoor space in the way tropical architecture usually does, with wide openings to the water side.

The value is where outlets split. Diario Las Americas and Semana both cite a figure of about $5 million. It is not clear whether that is an investment figure or an estimate. La Opinion reported in 2022 that the home is worth nearly $10 million. No outlet we found reported what Chayanne paid for it. Given how bayfront Miami Beach has moved since 2003, the higher number is not surprising, but neither figure is a sale price.

Why Chayanne chose Miami Beach

For a Latin pop star, Miami is the obvious base. The labels, the producers, the awards shows and the Spanish-language networks are all here. Chayanne has also been a fixture of Univision and Telemundo programming for years. Both networks are in Miami-Dade. A home on the bay puts him a short drive from the studios and the airport.

The bayfront location also fits a touring life. He plays long runs across Latin America, the United States and Spain, and Miami International has direct flights to nearly every city on those routes. Between tours, the bay house is a quiet place. North Bay Road is residential and gated at the driveway level, so fans see it from the water, not the street.

Puerto Rico is close, too. San Juan is a two-and-a-half-hour flight, so the island where he grew up is an easy trip for family visits and shows.

There is also a family reason. Reports say the couple raised both children in the house, and Marilisa Maronesse, a former Miss Venezuela contestant, has kept a low profile there. A single long-term home in a quiet neighborhood is a common choice for touring artists with school-age kids. It gives the family one fixed point while the parent on the road moves around it.

Where else does Chayanne live?

No outlet we found reports a second home for Chayanne. His roots are in Puerto Rico, and he performs there often, but reporting does not place a house of his on the island. The Miami Beach home appears to be the family's only residence, and it has been for a long stretch.

That makes him closer to Juanes, who has held one Key Biscayne house since 2004, than to Alejandro Sanz, who sold his North Bay Road estate in 2020 and moved back to Spain. Chayanne bought in, stayed and raised his kids there. When he is away, it is for work, not for another house.

His tour schedule backs that up. The Bailemos Otra Vez tour that began in 2024 ran through arenas across the United States and Latin America for many months. A base with direct flights to all of it, and a bay to come home to, is the practical choice. Nothing in the record suggests a plan to leave.

What homes near Chayanne cost

Miami Beach is a large and mixed market. Our MLS feed as of September 2026 counts about 2,500 active listings with a median list price of about $650,000 and an average of around 160 days on market. That median reflects the island's condo stock. Single-family homes on the bay, the category Chayanne's house belongs to, trade in a different range. A large lot with a dock often runs into the tens of millions.

The mainland tells a similar story. The City of Miami has more than 11,000 active listings and a median near $639,000, so the two medians are close. But bayfront houses in either place are the exception. Buyers hunting for the setup Chayanne has usually search North Bay Road, the Sunset Islands and La Gorce.

Owners on that stretch are in a thin, high-priced market. Waterfront lots draw buyers who often plan to rebuild, so the land carries most of the value. Our waterfront homes and luxury homes collections list what is currently available.

One more point for sellers on the bay. A 2003 house like Chayanne's is young by North Bay Road standards, where many lots still hold 1920s and 1930s homes. That gives it an edge with buyers who want to move in rather than build. Even so, the dock, the seawall and the flood zone matter more to a buyer's price than the finishes inside.
