Edgewater

If waterfront views are your thing, then the Edgewater neighborhood is for you. Just north of Downtown Miami, Edgewater is located directly on Biscayne Bay. You’ll have views of the Venetian Islands and Pace Picnic Island, and quick access to Highway 195 so you can hop over to Miami Beach. Take a stroll along the Margaret Pace Park Baywalk, bring your fur baby to the dog park, or try your hand at sand volleyball. They’re all right in your front yard.

High- and mid-rise residential towers and early 20th century homes are the mainstay in Edgewater. Swing by the Bacardi Building to see a fine example of MiMo architecture or get a bird’s eye view of the Bay from one of the Paramount Bay high-rise condominiums.

With Wynwood to the West and the Miami Design District within a stone’s throw of Edgewater, there’s no shortage of activities for those interested in fashion, the arts or cultural entertainment. Visit one of Wynwood’s more than 70 art galleries or check out the colorful murals that pepper the warehouses in the area.

You’re in Miami, so it’s a given that a vast array of delicious Puerto Rican, Haitian and Caribbean cuisines are available at nearly every turn. After you’ve savored your meal, indulge in some Cuban coffee then head out for a night of music and dancing.
