Upper East Side South is where MiMo history meets the bay

Upper East Side South is a quiet residential neighborhood with luxury homes along Biscayne Bay. While the waterfront setting is a big draw, the community is also popular for its proximity to award-winning restaurants and an eclectic mix of shopping. The MiMo Biscayne Boulevard Historic District runs through the area, where 1950s and ‘60s Miami Modern buildings have been preserved and repurposed into boutique shops, galleries and restaurants. The Miami Design District is also nearby, offering a variety of high-end stores and a trendy, artsy vibe. Residential pockets range from tree-lined streets with 1920s homes to contemporary properties with bay views, creating variety within an established setting just north of Downtown Miami.

What buyers can expect from Upper East Side South's housing market

Upper East Side South features single-family homes covering an array of styles, with Mediterranean and Spanish Revival designs among the most common. Many houses were built between the 1920s and the ’70s, but there has also been a recent wave of construction with sleek, contemporary designs and modern features. The Morningside and Bay Point subdivisions are both gated, offering homeowners security and privacy. Backyard pools are common throughout the community. Bayfront properties often have private docks for easy boating access. Single-family home prices typically range from around $1.1 million to around $10 million. You can find some condos in the area, particularly along the southern edge. These are often in high-rise buildings with luxury amenities and can cost between $1.1 million and $1.8 million. According to local real estate sources, the neighborhood is among the most desirable in the city. “There is an enormous amount of demand,” says Cyril Bijaoui, a broker associate at The Corcoran Group with 24 years of experience. “I would say the only other neighborhood that is similar is Coconut Grove.”

Biscayne Boulevard and the Design District offer plenty to explore

The area’s dining scene includes a wide mix of options along Biscayne Boulevard and in nearby neighborhoods. “Design District is the obvious go-to, which is a 5-minute drive,” Bijaoui says. “We’re in close proximity to some outstanding dining.” Some places where you can sit down for a meal include:

  • Flora, a Latin-inspired vegetarian spot with a lush patio and creative plant-based plates
  • ‘O Munaciello, an Italian eatery and pizzeria that has been ranked among the best in the country by the guide 50 Top Pizza USA
  • Caracas Bakery, a casual restaurant popular for breakfast and brunch
  • Amara at Paraiso, which serves Latin American seafood by the bay from a James Beard Award-winning chef
  • COTE Miami, a Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the Design District
When you need to run errands, you can head to the Publix on Biscayne Boulevard. Shops in the Design District include designer brands and high-end stores such as Dior and Hermès.

Outdoor spaces include bayfront recreation and local sports courts

The neighborhood’s largest green space, Morningside Park, stretches along the Biscayne Bay waterfront with tennis and basketball courts, walking paths and a boat ramp. To get out on the water, you can rent kayaks and paddleboards. Picnic areas and playgrounds round out the park’s offerings. For a quieter option, Eaton Park covers about 3 acres with open grassy fields, a basketball court and a playground. It’s also home to the Lemon City Branch of the Miami-Dade Public Library. On the community’s southern end, Jose Milton Park at E. Albert Pallot Green Space offers public art and a playground with shaded climbing structures.

The kayak and paddle-board station at Morningside Park is a favorite among locals.
