Miami-Dade

Midtown / Edgewater

Trendy, waterfront high-rises, walkable

History

Midtown was built in the 2000s on a former FEC railway yard as a master-planned, walkable district of shops and condos, while neighboring Edgewater — an older Biscayne Bay-front area — has filled in rapidly with new high-rise towers, becoming one of Miami's fastest-growing condo corridors.

New construction

Edgewater is in the middle of a major building wave — Villa Miami (72 ultra-luxury units) completes in late 2026, EDITION Residences Edgewater (185 units, 55 stories) is underway, and ELLE Residences broke ground in 2026 as the fashion brand's first residential tower.

Fun facts

  • Edgewater's Bayshore Drive gives it one of the most uninterrupted stretches of Biscayne Bay waterfront in the city, which is driving its current condo boom.
  • Midtown Miami was built on the site of a former Florida East Coast Railway freight yard, redeveloped in the mid-2000s into open-air shopping and lofts.
  • The neighborhood sits directly between the Design District and Downtown, making it one of the most central places to live in the urban core.

Good to know for families

Like Brickell, Midtown/Edgewater is almost entirely condo towers, so it suits families prioritizing walkability and bay views over yard space — Margaret Pace Park is the main green space and popular with young families for its waterfront playground and dog park.

Moving from outside Miami-Dade?

If you're coming from outside Florida, note that many Edgewater towers are still in pre-construction or under construction — buying pre-construction means deposits held in escrow and a closing date years out, which is a different process than buying a finished resale home.
