The evolution of Edgewater, a hidden gem

There is no denying Miami is on the rise. With a booming downtown, a bustling financial district in Brickell, and a beach that attracts visitors worldwide, now is the time to be in Miami. As the city continues to evolve and advance, lesser-known neighborhoods bordering the major districts are stepping forward, developing their own unique identities, and gaining international attention.

East Edgewater is one of those exciting new areas, emerging as a new hotspot for Miami’s cultural, commercial, and residential development. Edgewater’s loose borders are Northeast 17th Street to the south, Northeast 37th Street/I-195/the Julia Tuttle Causeway to the north, the Florida East Coast Railway to the west and Biscayne Bay to the east. The neighborhood has a unique bayfront position, dramatic views, and proximity to Miami’s ultimate offerings in terms of arts, luxury shopping, high-end hotels, entertainment, and corporate offices. With a strong condominium market and more retail and residential development in the pipeline, the area is experiencing a surge of growth and an influx of inhabitants.

Developments in East Edgewater are selling in record time as well, largely due to the central location and forward-thinking developers who built properties that fit the needs of young, active professionals inhabiting the neighborhood. Luxury developments like Biscayne Beach Residences, Paraiso Bay and Aria on the Bay are just some of the new residential projects rising in Edgewater, along with more commercial developments in the works. These projects elevate luxury in the area and offer an opportunity for investors and homebuyers alike to become one of the first in this newly-established hot spot.
