— What makes Downtown Miami a great place to call home?

Here are all the reasons you could fall in love with this up-and-coming urban oasis:

• Getting around is easy! You could walk, bike, or Uber to one of the biggest collections of museums, art galleries, entertainment venues like the Kaseya Center or Ziff Ballet Opera House, and other attractions that you’ll find in Miami.

• The foodie in you will highly appreciate having a plethora of top-rated restaurants, a couple of Starbucks, and a Whole Foods market to satiate every craving.

• You’re also super close to work, with the southern part of Downtown carrying most of its office buildings and Brickell just across the bridge.

• The eco-conscious will love having access to every mode of public transportation available in Miami, including the Metromover, Metrorail, and Brightline, so they can truly enjoy a car-free life.

• There’s also plenty of new development headed towards Downtown Miami that will make the neighborhood almost unrecognizable in a few years. Flagler Street already has plenty of new retail on the way since its recent renovation. The Bayside Marketplace is up for a major overhaul. Plus, loads of new luxury condos and apartment towers with brand-new experiences, street-level retail and stellar amenities are in the pipeline.
