Below is an overview of Miami’s top five neighborhoods and the average cost you can expect to pay for rent in each of these areas.
1. Brickell
The upscale Brickell neighborhood attracts young professionals who love the convenience of living close to where they work. Residents can also enjoy being surrounded by a bevy of restaurants, shops, boutiques, yoga studios, cafés and art galleries immediately upon leaving the office or their loft with sun-filled views.
In a city known for its congested traffic, the benefit of not having to commute very far – maybe even living within walking distance of work – may easily compensate for the above-average cost of rent in this popular and chic neighborhood.
