Ways Park West links residents to nearby Miami areas
Darin Feldman, owner and operating director of Insignia International Properties, says Park West is “the last piece of the puzzle to connect Brickell and downtown to the Midtown area. It's a pedestrian-friendly city hub.” Bike lanes and wide palm-tree-lined sidewalks lead residents from lobby entrances to cafes, shops and transit hubs. There are several modes of public transportation, including:
Metromover, a free, driverless mini-train running between the Media and Entertainment District and Brickell
Metrobus, a broad bus system linking Miami-area neighborhoods, beaches and suburbs
Tri-Rail, a regional commuter rail line that connects Miami with other South Florida cities
As for getting around by car, Feldman has some advice. “I’ve been here for 31 years now… checking the time is the first thing I do if I’m going anywhere in the city. Rush hour in the afternoon starts at 3:15 p.m. and goes until 6:30 or 7 p.m.,” he says. “You can’t do anything about it. Just plan.” Interstate 95 and Interstate 395 intersect a little over a mile away. Drivers can also access the Dolphin Expressway at that interchange, providing a direct route to Miami International Airport, less than 7 miles away.
Bayfront parks and museums offering quiet outdoor escapes
Park West is by no means a quiet neighborhood, but some bayfront spots help residents avoid feeling “swallowed up by the city,” as Feldman puts it. These artsy, scenic spots featuring waterfront views and artful ambiance include:
Maurice A. Ferré Park, a 28-acre green space that doubles as an open-air museum, displaying permanent and rotating art installations across picnic-perfect lawns
Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, a six-level complex with a three-story aquarium, a planetarium and interactive exhibitions
Pérez Art Museum Miami, a contemporary art space with shaded terraces and softly lit galleries that showcase Miami’s cultural diversity
Maurice A. Ferré Park has dog runs for folks and their four-legged friends.

Prices dip as rental options and big projects attract newcomers
Park West’s median price is just under $700,000, down 9% from last year. The area is becoming increasingly popular with both renters and buyers, thanks to both population growth and major projects like the $6 billion Miami Worldcenter. Condo owners should expect typical HOA dues along with possible assessments, higher reserves, insurance increases, and rising amenity fees.
The neighborhood receives an overall 9 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, which is significantly higher than the national average of 4.
How condo prices vary by size, age and views in Park West
Age, condition, square footage and views shape pricing in Park West. The most budget-friendly homes are on the west side in The Madison, a 1989 mid-rise with condos from the low $200,000s to the mid-$300,000s. The luxury pedestal towers along Biscayne Boulevard, such as Marquis, 900 Biscayne Bay and Marina Blue, better reflect the neighborhood’s typical prices, with condos under 1,500 square feet ranging from the high $400,000s to the high $900,000s. Most units measuring more than 1,500 square feet run from around $800,000 to $2 million, but penthouse units with a couple thousand more square feet and Biscayne Bay views can push prices as high as $8.6 million.
Upscale, modern condo buildings have sprung up in Park West since the early 2000s.
Some condo units have waterfront views, with price tags to match.

Dining, shopping and big‑name entertainment along Biscayne Boulevard
Park West blends neighborhood essentials with front-row access to big-ticket entertainment. Biscayne Boulevard is the neighborhood’s main strip, where eclectic restaurants sit at the base of sleek high rises. Pucci’s Pizza turns out classic New York-style slices, Pierogi One offers a menu of Polish comfort food and Sagrado Café leans into its Brazilian roots with baked goods, savory snacks and signature coffee blends.
Whole Foods is on the same corridor, about 2 miles from Bayside Marketplace, a waterfront mix of open-air shopping and popular eateries like La Industria Bakery & Café, a go-to for Latin American brunch. The Kaseya Center headlines local live entertainment. Beyond Miami Heat games, the massive arena has a packed rotation of high-profile events throughout the year, major concert tours, comedy shows, e-sports tournaments, award shows and cultural festivals.
