Design District & Edgewater

 

 

Ensconcing the beautiful Biscayne Bay beach, Edgewater and the Design District are popular residential destinations among ocean lovers and those who enjoy nearby shopping opportunities. Thanks to the many locally-owned boutiques, the neighborhood has developed a trendy, up-and-coming vibe that draws visitors and potential residents across the state to its peaceful streets. The Miami Design District is also home to several art galleries and luxury jewelry boutiques, making it particularly popular among wealthy creatives. In addition, Edgewater homes for sale offer a variety of options for those seeking a beautiful and vibrant community to call home.

 

The land on which the Design District and Edgewater now stand previously belonged to a pineapple farm known as Buena Vista. Although the local population gradually increased, it wasn’t until the 2000s that the Design District and Edgewater truly experienced an economic boom. 

 

Today, the community is known for its friendliness, artistic tendencies, ad playing host to the flagship stores of many international brands, including Louis Vuitton and Dior. Potential property owners particularly appreciate the range of homes available, from luxury condos closer to the city to spacious single-family homes within commuting distance from the financial district and Brickell. The suburb’s status as the Design District also ensures that very few local buildings follow a cookie-cutter definition, one of the region’s biggest residential appeals.

Another Design District staple is the timeless Hermes Miami boutique bringing classic Parisian couture and apparel to the city.
