Edgewater

A dynamic waterfront neighborhood, Edgewater embodies the epitome of cosmopolitan living against the backdrop of Biscayne Bay.

Welcome to Edgewater

Waterfront living in one of the hottest spots in Miami

Edgewater, nestled between Downtown Miami and the vibrant neighborhoods of Wynwood and Midtown, is an up-and-coming area known for its waterfront views, high-rise condominiums, and a blend of urban and residential vibes. Bounded by the Biscayne Bay to the east, this neighborhood offers a mix of modern amenities and cultural experiences, making it a desirable place to live and visit.
 
Edgewater was originally a residential neighborhood filled with historic homes dating back to the early 20th century. Over the past two decades, it has transformed significantly, with luxury high-rise developments springing up along the waterfront, attracting a new wave of residents seeking modern urban living. With several new condo projects in the works, it’s well on its way to becoming one of Miami’s premier neighborhoods. 
 
The neighborhood's proximity to major thoroughfares like Biscayne Boulevard and I-395 makes it easy to get around by car. However, traffic can be heavy during peak hours. Edgewater is a pedestrian-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and bike lanes, making it easy to explore on foot or by bike. Due to its growing nature, it isn’t as densely populated as neighborhoods like Brickell, Miami’s financial district, so residents appreciate the more laidback community vibe. 
 
Edgewater has a diverse community with a mix of young professionals, families, and retirees. The price range for owning a slice of paradise here ranges from under $100k to nearly $10 million, with condos, townhomes, mid-rise apartments, and single-family homes making up the market. The neighborhood hosts several community events and cultural festivals throughout the year, fostering a vibrant and inclusive atmosphere.
 

What to Love:

  • Stunning waterfront views

Perez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), located nearby in Museum Park, is a contemporary art museum that showcases international art of the 20th and 21st centuries.

Being on the Key Biscayne waterfront, outdoor activities are a staple in Edgewater. Bayfront yoga is a big draw, along with outdoor activities and time spent at the area's lush green spaces. 
 

Dining, Entertainment, & Shopping:

While Edgewater isn’t necessarily the place to be for clubs and nightlife, it’s been a great locale for high-end shopping and dining ever since the early to mid-1900s. The Shops at Midtown Miami is an open-air shopping center, located just west of Edgewater, offers a variety of retail stores, restaurants, and cafes. There is more shopping to do in the neighboring Wynwood Arts District, an area known for its unique boutiques, art galleries, and pop-up shops. It's a great place to find one-of-a-kind clothing, accessories, and art pieces.
 
Edgewater also boasts a diverse culinary scene. Popular spots include Sabor a Perú for authentic Peruvian cuisine, Noa Café for delicious Mediterranean dishes, and Amara at Paraiso for upscale Latin American fare with stunning bay views.
 
Edgewater is more residential and quieter compared to South Beach or Brickell, but it is still close to the lively nightlife scenes of Wynwood and Downtown Miami, offering plenty of options for bars, clubs, and live music venues.
