Around the Block

Upper east side:
Eccentric architecture and creative energy meet suburban living.

Upper East Side was one of Miami’s first suburbs, and you need look no further than the ornate MiMo buildings to get a taste of the city’s roots. The neighborhood’s spine is Biscayne Boulevard, along which you’ll find umbrella-blanketed cafés spilling onto sidewalks. As this creative community continues to grow, property values are forecasted to rise sharply.

What to expect:
A place of pleasant contradictions, the neighborhood teeters between hectic and tranquil, old and young, and historic and modern.

This is a place where you’ll discover a hip artisan tea shop housed in a restored 1920s structure. You’ll find a retro filling station reinvented as a contemporary tapas joint and writers plugging away in the same place that housed the first snowbirds down from New York. Cafes that sling organic fare occupy buildings that were originally diners and burger joints.
