Brickell
Suits someone who wants to live in the financial district itself, in a high-rise, with rooftop bars and a walkable street grid and the Metromover four minutes away.
🇺🇸 Where to live in Miami
Miami's residential areas split fairly clearly between dense tower districts and low-slung village neighborhoods. Brickell, Downtown Miami and Edgewater are high-rise and walkable with rail or Metromover close by, while Wynwood, the Design District and Midtown Miami are car-first even though they sit close to the same core. Further out, Coconut Grove and Coral Gables offer tree-lined streets, and Key Biscayne is an island village reached by car.
