North of Downtown Miami
I'm a Midtown resident and licensed real estate professional with Pinnacle Realty Advisors. I help renters find the right building — with cash back from me when you lease at a participating building — and help buyers get in early on pre-construction condos.

My take — a note from a Midtown resident
“I've lived in Midtown / Edgewater for 5+ years now across several different buildings. Nowadays, I live with my fiancé in The Cortland and in my opinion, North of Downtown (NoDo) is the most exciting part of Miami to rent an apartment or buy a pre-construction condo. Between the amount of construction occurring, access to other parts of Miami, and the walkability, it doesn't get any better. NoDo>Brickell is a hill I'll die on.”
Dakota MivshekLicensed real estate professional · Pinnacle Realty AdvisorsMy take · NoDo vs. Brickell
Both are great parts of Miami. Here's why I keep choosing north of downtown.

BrickellDense, tower-to-tower streets with the Brickell bay walk
Buildings

Everyday feel
NoDoWynwood art, Design District shops and neighborhood restaurants
BrickellFinancial-district energy and big-name nightlife

Five neighborhoods
Edgewater is the bayfront strip between Biscayne Boulevard and Biscayne Bay, running roughly from the Venetian Causeway up to the Julia Tuttle. It's where most of NoDo's newest high-rises are going up, and where you'll find the most water views per dollar north of downtown.
Midtown is a compact, walkable grid between Wynwood and the Design District, built around shops and restaurants at street level with apartments above. It's where I've spent most of my time in Miami, and in my opinion it's the easiest place in the city to live without needing your car every day.
Wynwood is Miami's murals district: former warehouses covered in street art, now mixed in with restaurants, breweries, galleries and a fast-growing set of boutique mid-rise apartment buildings.
The Miami Design District mixes architecture, luxury showrooms, design stores and public art on landscaped, pedestrian-friendly streets just north of Midtown.
Buena Vista and the MiMo (Miami Modern) stretch of Biscayne Boulevard sit just north of the Design District, with historic homes, tree-lined streets and preserved mid-century architecture.

My take
A branded residence in the Midtown core — rare for a neighborhood that's mostly rentals. Worth registering early if you want Midtown walkability as an owner.

Renting today, buying tomorrow
Lease in NoDo — cash back from me when you lease at a participating building — then line up your move-out with a pre-construction delivery date.
