Where We Live

Our residents typically live in the following popular neighborhoods, but Miami has a vibrant and fast-paced real estate market with something for everyone.

Brickell and Downtown Miami

These are possibly the most popular neighborhoods our residents live in. Both areas are predominantly made up of apartments and condos with world-class amenities (most buildings have a pool and gym). Many have unbeatable views of the Miami skyline and Biscayne bay. For those looking for a safe walkable urban center, even at night, with abundant restaurant and takeout options, Brickell is ideal and close to the medical center. Downtown houses the Kaseya Center which hosts electrifying basketball games andw orld-class concerts. The area has numerous art galleries, museums, theaters, and restaurants and is traversable through the Metromover, a free people mover that runs in a loop. The Metrorail system is also accessible from these areas, with stations in Downtown and Brickell. The train ride to the medical center is <10 minutes on average, and the system also connects to the airport (20-25min ride) and many other Miami neighborhoods.

Edgewater

In between Downtown, Wynwood and Midtown, Edgewater is a primarily residential neighborhood that is growing in popularity. New high rises have been built in the last several years, many also offering views of the Bay. It is a short commute away from campus and a very popular area for residents who seek to balance the amenities of city living and budget while while still being within a short drive of campus and other recreational activities.

Coral Gables and Coconut Grove

These neighborhoods are considered upscale residential areas, typically chosen by families or those looking for a house or duplex. Of the areas most residents live in, these two have the most neighborhood-type feel of any of the Miami living areas and are great for dog walking and raising children. Nightlife is centered around CocoWalk, an open-air plaza with bars, great restaurants and shopping, as well as Miracle Mile. Historic establishments like The Biltmore and the University of Miami undergraduate campus make this area of Miami desirable for young families. The hospital is accessible by Metrorail or is a quick 20-minute commute by car.

Wynwood/Midtown/Design Destrict

These areas are growing in popularity and are a very short commute to/from the hospital. Many buildings offer stunning views of the bay. These trendy neighborhoods are known for fine dining, great shopping, and amazing art galleries. One of the most popular events is the monthly Wynwood Art Walk in which dozens of food trucks descend on the Design District, and the art galleries open up to the public with free wine. It is also famous for the international art festival Art Basel which takes place every year. There are a number of brand new buildings in the area with all of the usual high-end amenities available.

South Beach/Miami Beach

In contrast to what people may see in movies or on TV, residents of the beach see it more as a quiet ocean-side community. Located on a barrier island off the coast of Miami, this bustling city is renowned for its pristine sandy beaches, stunning turquoise waters, and lively atmosphere. Miami Beach offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement, with a variety of activities to suit every taste. Free time can be spent people-watching on Ocean Drive and Lincoln Road, jogging along South Pointe Park and the beach, and at free outdoor concerts and movies at the New World Symphony. The Beaches are connected to the mainland by several bridges which allow commuting to and from campus.
