Miami
Florida's international gateway on Biscayne Bay — dense, vertical and growing.
Where it is and how it feels
Miami sits on Biscayne Bay in Miami-Dade County, between the bay and the Everglades' edge. It is a dense urban core of towers surrounded by distinct neighborhoods, and the center of a metropolitan area that runs continuously up the coast through Broward.
Growth
Miami brings together culture, international business, entertainment, waterfront and some of the most significant urban developments in Florida. Brickell, Downtown, Coconut Grove, Edgewater and Wynwood represent different markets within one city.
Miami Worldcenter, Brightline and the expansion of mixed-use districts keep strengthening a more connected, walkable urban core. For investment or short-term rental, each building must be reviewed for its rules, licensing, reserves, assessments and permitted operation.
Miami keeps projecting itself as an international city where housing, investment and urban development evolve constantly.

Daily life
Genuinely bilingual, international and vertical in its core, with single-family neighborhoods further west. Distances and traffic are metropolitan; where you live relative to where you work matters more here than almost anywhere else in the state.
