Waterfront homes and marina access in the Upper East Side North

The Upper East Side, or simply the “UES,” is a historic neighborhood on the shores of Biscayne Bay, praised for its walkability and convenience. Comprising multiple smaller neighborhoods like Belle Meade and Morningside, the Upper East Side has enough unique character and charm to attract potential homebuyers in every stage of life. That said, welcome to the northern half of this charming community: UES North. “It’s convenient for everything,” says Lori Brandt, a UES resident and broker associate with Compass. “Parks, schools, downtown, the beach.” It's also an ideal area for boaters, anglers and folks who just like being on the blue water. Plenty of properties in UES North are waterfront and have private docks facing the open bay or an off-shooting canal. And while there are more dry lots than waterfront lots, no one around these parts is landlocked. Just across the 79th Street West Drawbridge, which turns into the John F. Kennedy Causeway, the Pelican Harbor Marina sits less than a mile from the neighborhood, giving residents a place to dock, store and launch their watercraft. Right off main Miami thoroughfare Biscayne Boulevard, UES North hugs the fringes of the Magic City's lively downtown while maintaining an air of tropical suburban tranquility.

Condos and ranch-style homes range from $400K to $3 million

Despite its spacious waterfront and proximity to downtown, UES North is mostly residential, offering a suburban mix of multifamily condos and single-family homes built in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. Single-family properties generally comprise ranch-style builds with Spanish- and Mediterranean-inspired designs, boasting characteristics typical of Miami and the greater South Florida, such as stucco siding, barrel roof tiles, arches and neutral tones. Three-bedroom homes range from the upper $800,000s to nearly $3 million, with most listings averaging just north of $1 million. On the other hand, multifamily residences, mainly condominiums, average in the mid $400,000s but can reach over $1 million depending on amenities.
