Living in Edgewater: City Living with Biscayne Bay Views

#7 in my series "The 10 Best Places to Live in Miami in 2026"

Edgewater stretches along Biscayne Bay between Downtown Miami and the Design District. In the last ten years it has become one of Miami's most popular condo neighborhoods, with sleek towers, sunsets over the bay and a quieter feel than Brickell. Wynwood, Midtown and the Arsht Center are only minutes away.

Why people love Edgewater

• Direct bay views from almost every tower

• Margaret Pace Park for running, tennis and dog walks

• Paddleboarding and kayaking right from the bay

• Walking distance to the Adrienne Arsht Center

• Easy access to I-195, I-95 and Miami Beach

Edgewater real estate

Edgewater is almost all condos, from older mid-rises to new luxury towers like Missoni Baia, Elysee and Aria on the Bay. Roughly, one-bedroom units start in the mid-$400,000s and two-bedrooms around $750,000. Bayfront units with direct views cost more. With good inventory right now, buyers have room to negotiate.

Who Edgewater suits

Professionals, couples, second-home buyers and investors who want bay views close to the city.

My tip

Pay attention to the view corridor. A unit facing the bay is worth much more than one facing the city, and some views can be blocked by new towers. I'll show you which ones are protected.
