When most people think of a Miami penthouse, they think of skyscrapers in the middle of the bustling city. But what about a penthouse with almost 360 degree water views? Floor to ceiling windows looking over Miami’s Biscayne Bay? A bayfront building surrounded by acres of lush landscaping? And a 1,000 square foot private rooftop terrace?

Penthouses come in all shapes and sizes, and this penthouse in Miami’s Upper East Side neighborhood is so unique, we had to showcase it. Featuring all of the details mentioned above, Penthouse 9E in the boutique condo building of Palm Bay Tower is a one-of-a-kind unit. With a distinctly European vibe, 3,500 square feet of open floor plan, an oversized master suite opening onto the huge private terrace, and a price of $2,050,000, this penthouse is a super rare find in Miami.

First, let’s take a look at the neighborhood. 

Why Choose Miami’s Upper East Side? 

Sitting along Biscayne Bay, the Upper East Side provides the best of urban living with a relaxed pace of life in a classic Miami style. The neighborhood is known for its historic Florida Mid-Century Modern (MiMo) architecture, family-friendly, tree-lined streets, a wellness-focused lifestyle, artistic events at Miami Ironside, a farmer’s market at Legion Park, and sports activities at the waterfront Morningside Park.

This chic yet low-key neighborhood also boasts of a delicious collection of umbrella-shaded cafes, artisan tea shops, organic eateries in restored diners, and some of the best restaurants in Miami lined up against Biscayne Boulevard. Better still, it’s just a 10-minute drive to the Design District, Midtown, Wynwood and Edgewater, and a 15-minute drive to the Arts & Entertainment District and Downtown Miami, both of which are home to entertainment hotspots such as AmericanAirlines Arena, Adrienne Arsht Center for Performing Arts, Perez Art Museum (PAMM), Museum Park, and more. It’s also a 10 to 15-minute drive to Miami Beach.
