Midtown is the restaurant- and store-studded bridge between Wynwood and Miami’s Design District. Along its highly trafficked streets, palm trees reach up toward the tops of towering high-rises under the South Florida sun. The area has a very chic and modern look, with open-air concepts and restaurant patios making its largely concrete streetscape inviting. “Midtown has a lot of out-of-towners,” says Rodrigo Ortiz. “Lots of the buildings have short-term rentals, and more are coming. People come down for high season when it’s cold up north. Lots of snowbirds here, but some people live in Midtown full-time. I have a friend who lives there; he’s a regular at Tap 42, and they know his name. So there’s a local element.” Midtown residents enjoy walkable streets, delectable eats, plenty of places to splash out and proximity to the city’s artsy events, such as Art Basel‘s Basel Fair, an annual, weeklong celebration of international creativity.
Midtown offers high-rise living
Midtown’s housing stock solely comprises condominiums. One-bedroom condos ranging from 490 to 800 square feet typically fall between $438,000 and $650,000. Upward of $650,000 are two- and three-bedroom condominiums. List prices cap around $2.7 million, which could afford a 2,000- to 3,100-square-foot condo. “These buildings have fantastic amenities,” Ortiz says. “Like rooftop pools and restaurants. Most of them have private dog parks, too.” Fitness centers, playgrounds, lounges and spas are other common amenities. HOAs are standard.

Booker T. Washington Senior High made history
Students in Midtown can start school at Eneida M. Hartner Elementary, rated B-minus on Niche. Next, they can attend Jose De Diego Middle, rated C, before graduating from Booker T. Washington Senior High, rated B-minus. Booker T. Washington High, home of the Tornadoes, was initially built for black students and struggled to open in the late 1920s due to a violent protest, including a bombing. When it was finally able to open its doors, it made history as the first high school for black students in South Florida, educating those who lived as far south as Key West and as far north as Palm Beach. It played a significant role in desegregating Miami-Dade County Public Schools.

Pups play along Buena Vista Boulevard
In the heart of Midtown, between Buena Vista Boulevard and Northeast 1st Street, there is a rather large section of grassy, undeveloped land. The main reason this spot remains untouched? Many Midtown residents are pet owners and have turned this spot into an unofficial dog park. Throughout the day, folks can be seen spending time with their four-legged friends. Roberto Clemente Park isn’t in Midtown proper but is less than a mile due east, putting its ballfields, tennis court, basketball courts and sand volleyball court within arm’s reach of locals.
The informal central park is a staple of the Midtown neighborhood.

Brunch at Little Hen and dinner at Tap 42
Midtown has cafes, restaurants and bars in spades. It’s a wildly popular area for brunch and lunch. By reservation, locals can get a table at Little Hen for an elegant breakfast or brunch. Its flowery interior evokes the extravagance of Rococo painting, complete with an afternoon tea menu. Tap 42 Craft Kitchen and Bar’s Midtown location is a more casual spot but elegant in its own right. In this gastropub, locals and visitors alike enjoy creative takes on classic American fare under the ambient lighting of Edison bulbs. As for a sweet treat, there’s only one place to go, according to Ortiz. “Fireman Derek’s has the best pies, cakes and cookies,” Ortiz says. “If you’re in Midtown, you might as well go get yourself a slice of Oreo cheesecake — that’s my favorite. It’s a big tourist attraction for a reason. They’re so popular they had to get a bigger store.”While restaurants are Midtown’s main highlight, shopping is the runner-up. The Shops at Midtown are home to an array of well-known retailers, such as Ross, Marshalls, Bath & Body Works and Home Goods. There’s also a Target in the mall, convenient for retail therapy and grocery shopping. Trader Joe’s is in the neighborhood, too.
The Little Hen is highly recommended for brunches in Midtown Miami.
