Miami’s metropolis with a big city vibe and full of luxury high rises, all with diverse cultures intermingling. You’ll love living in Brickell, if you seek absolute city life in a high-density urban area with lots of restaurants, bars, entertainment, and public transportation options within walking distance.

And it's super close to Key Biscayne if you want to escape to the beach or Coconut Grove. ### Brickell Key **What you’ll love: Island living, water views in every direction, scenic promenade outlining island, close to work and entertainment** Right after Brickell, its island neighbor deserves a mention. Connected to the heart of mainland Brickell via a walkable bridge called Brickell Key Drive, you’ll enjoy private island living while being minutes from everything in the popular business district next door. One of the few gated communities in the area, Brickell Key is a little island paradise. A walker’s dream, you’ll love the island’s mile-long, tree-lined baywalk outlining its perimeter, which is often frequented by cyclists, joggers, and nature enthusiasts from around the city. Besides romantic water views in every direction, Brickell Key has its own mini marketplace, a park on its southernmost tip, and a children’s playground. ### Downtown Miami **What you’ll love: Urban core, hot arts, culture, dining & entertainment scene, iconic Pérez Art Museum Miami, Bayside Marketplace and Bayfront Park with live music, maximum public transportation** If you want something similar to Brickell but more up-and-coming, a little edgier, and a little softer on the price tag, Downtown Miami is for you. This urban core puts you in the middle of a happening arts, culture, and entertainment scene with maximum public transportation options at every turn. And if you're a Miami Heat fan, this is your neighborhood, as you can walk to the arena where they play. Miami’s ever-evolving urban core, Downtown Miami is brimming with parks set on Biscayne Bay, museums, restaurants, bars, nightlife, and historic architecture and buildings, as well as the government buildings for Miami Dade County and Miami Dade Community College. This pedestrian-friendly neighborhood is a popular pick among young professionals as well as families looking to live closer to work. ### Edgewater **What you’ll love: Family-friendly, big on water sports options at the Margaret Pace Park, central to Arts & Entertainment, Miami hotspots** Wrapping the best of urban, waterfront living in a compact residential neighborhood, Edgewater is wildly popular among couples and young families.

If you wish to live in a premier waterfront neighborhood that's the most central of Miami neighborhoods, typically for less than what you’d pay in Miami Beach with access to great schools, Edgewater is THE best Miami neighborhood for you. It's also very walkable, including to the Metromover and the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts, and has easy access to South Beach via the scenic Venetian Causeway. ### Midtown & Miami Design District **What you’ll love: Trendy, walkable, The Shops at Midtown Miami, best of luxury shopping, dining, and entertainment** One of the best Miami neighborhoods for retail therapy, with creative inspiration around every corner, you’ll find various condo and luxury rental options in Midtown.

The Miami Design District, on the other hand, is home to a covetable and grand collection of 120+ flagship stores of major luxury brands, architecture and interior design showrooms, public art programs, an award-winning parking garage called Museum Garage, and exquisite restaurants. The Miami Design District is also a favorite of art enthusiasts with the de la Cruz Collection and the Institute of Contemporary Art here. Best part – everything’s a few steps or easy bike ride away from home. ### Wynwood **What you’ll love: By, for and of the art lover, Wynwood Walls, art galleries, coffee shops, eclectic bars and eats, very walkable** Miami’s best neighborhood for art lovers and foodies, Wynwood is known as the incubator of street art and artists.

You’ll love living in this trendy neighborhood if you'd like to have eclectic bars, artisanal restaurants, food trucks, experimental event venues, and artsy inspo within walking distance, along with a cool collection of artists, designers, and creative types for neighbors. Finally, this is one of Miami's best neighborhoods for creative food. If you're a foodie, even if you don't choose to live here, you'll be dining here a lot. ### Upper East Side / MiMo (Miami Modern) **What you’ll love: Biscayne Bay views, Miami Modern historic architecture, legendary Vagabond Hotel, unique shopping and dining at Ironside** You’re not mainstream but still want a nice waterfront area loaded with history and old-world charm, then Upper East Side is the best Miami neighborhood for you. You’ll find trendy stores plus a variety of new cafes and restaurants lined up alongside a beautiful collection of recently restored boutique hotels, 1920s Mediterranean Revival homes, 1930s Art Deco architecture, and 1950s Miami Modern buildings. This waterfront neighborhood is especially popular among families and professionals of all ages looking for a rather affordable, quiet, suburban community. It's quieter than most other neighborhoods of Miami, and still offers hidden gems of cafes and boutiques. ### Coconut Grove **What you’ll love: Waterfront, yachting lifestyle, tropical greenery, tree-lined streets, peacocks, best collection of schools, CocoWalk (open-air mall), Vizcaya Museum, Barnacle Historic State Park** You’ll love living in Coconut Grove if you’re a boating enthusiast, nature lover, like peacocks in your backyard, or simply enjoy a slower, tropical lifestyle. A top choice among families and empty nesters, Coconut Grove is an idyllic neighborhood with a nice village vibe, breezy waterfront parks and a world-class sailing scene. Set along Main Highway, its tree-lined streets offer a safe community life and family lifestyle, a quaint downtown area featuring the newly renovated CocoWalk, some nice retail, great restaurants, art galleries, and walkable streets. This is also Miami’s oldest community with the historic Peacock Park, Woman’s Club, Coconut Grove Library, and The Barnacle house offering a gateway into its charming past. ### Coral Gables **What you’ll love: Suburban, historic charm, canopied streets, canals and waterways, Biltmore Country Club, award-winning theater, Fairchild Botanic Garden, Shops at Merrick Park, Miracle Mile, University of Miami, historic Venetian Pool** If you’re looking for suburban charm, Spanish-inspired architecture, canopies of lush tropical greenery, plenty of historic attractions, and an overall idyllic vibe, you’ll love living in Miami’s City Beautiful, also known as Coral Gables. Teetering between the old and new, you’ll find upscale retail at the Shops at Merrick Park, boutique finds at Miracle Mile, a huge collection of new to established eateries scattered across town, art-house cinema, museums, award-winning theater, world-class golf courses and tennis, iconic Mediterranean architecture, and a downtown buzzing with business. All in all, Coral Gables is a great place to build a family and put down roots. Not much for reading? Watch this 1-minute video for a quick introduction to All of Miami's Best Neighborhoods! --- ## Best Of Miami Beach & Other Oceanfront Neighborhoods at A Glance --- ### South Beach **What you’ll love: Destination beach neighborhood, international vibe, LGBTQ+ friendly, legendary nightlife, iconic restaurants and clubs, Art Deco hotels and Ocean Drive, Lummus Park & Beach, Lincoln Road (open-air shopping mall), Wolfsonian-Florida International University** Nothing compares to South Beach when it comes to beachside living. If you want to be where it’s at, with a name and address everybody knows, South Beach is the best Miami neighborhood for you. Living in Miami’s vacation central, you can walk, bike or catch a free trolley to world-renowned beaches, nightclubs, iconic restaurants, and shopping with a side of people-watching at Lincoln Road. A popular pick among staycationers, work from home folk, and second home buyers, a South Beach address certainly puts you on the map. If you wish to avoid tourists, living in the more residential West Avenue is recommended. ### South of Fifth (SoFi) in South Beach **What you’ll love: High-end luxury, family-friendly, old-beach vibe, 5-star restaurants, Joe’s Stone Crab, South Pointe Park & Pier, safer end of South Beach** If you’re looking for high-end living in a beach lifestyle with utmost exclusivity, then you’ll love South of Fifth. Miami Beach’s southernmost point, South of Fifth is less touristy and big on community vibes. It’s almost like New York’s Tribeca, as in both neighborhoods went from nothing to an upscale residential area with fine dining and a tranquil vibe. The collection of restaurants here is critically-acclaimed - you’ll also find Art Deco gems, upscale bars, art galleries, a marina, and a pier. Again, South of Fifth is an address you can flaunt and is a top pick for living with the family. ### Sunset Harbor, Belle Isle & Venetian Islands in South Beach **What you’ll love: Island feel, marina, sandwiched perfectly between city and beach, very walkable** If quiet, island-living tops your list while having the best of both worlds (beach and city) a quick bike ride away, then Sunset Harbor-Venetian Islands is your best bet. Surrounded by water, you’re on the much quieter, far west side of South Beach. A great pick for executives, families, and boaters, this far west pairing of neighborhoods features nice shopping, dining, and a marina. Also, the Venetian Causeway makes for one of the most scenic walks or drives into the city. ### Mid-Beach, Miami Beach **What you’ll love: Oceanfront, upscale, less touristy, collection of world-class resorts, well-preserved gems of MiMo-style architecture, La Gorce Country Club, Faena District** If you want to be close to everything South Beach but want something more upscale, family-friendly, and a little less crazy, then Mid-Beach is the best Miami neighborhood for you. The oceanfront Millionaire’s Row along Collins Avenue here is often compared to Uptown’s Park Avenue in New York. Most of the resorts come lined against the ocean, making the sugar sand beaches here much classier and exclusive. Faena District with its bazaar, unique art scene, and theater helps energize this otherwise quiet beachfront. ### North Beach, Miami Beach **What you’ll love: Laidback, quieter oceanfront, community feel, live concerts at the Miami Beach Bandshell** If you’re looking for something a little more affordable on the beach, with a nice small-town community feel, and tons of potential, then you’ll love living in North Beach. The most family-friendly part of Miami Beach with a great oceanside park, golf course, and concerts on the beach (at the Bandshell), this up-and-coming beach neighborhood is now on the radar for developers. ### Surfside & Bal Harbour **What you’ll love: Beachfront luxury, tight-knit beach town community, community center, walkable retail, world-renowned Bal Harbour Shops** This pairing of coastal towns carries some amazing, walkable retail between themselves - the internationally famous Bal Harbour Shops. The oceanfront Bal Harbour offers beachfront luxury and boasts some of the most peaceful stretches of sand in Miami. On the other hand, Surfside is a tight-knit community with a great community center and the nesting grounds of choice for the Florida Loggerhead Sea Turtle. Of the two suburbs, Surfside makes a great choice for empty nesters, while Bal Harbour is great for families with its proximity to schools. ### Sunny Isles Beach **What you’ll love: Oceanfront, branded luxury condos, great (mostly reserved for condo residents) beaches, better priced than Miami Beach** With prices reducing as you move up the beach from South Beach, Sunny Isles makes the perfect (more affordable) slice of oceanfront luxury to own. A great pick for families, this beachtown sits away from the chaos of Miami Beach and closer to the sprawling acreage of Aventura. If you’re looking to for large luxury, branded condo units on the beach with well-maintained parks in a community setting, then this is the best Miami neighborhood for you. Did we mention a wide variety of world-class restaurants? Yes, that’s the icing on the cake here. ### Key Biscayne **What you’ll love: Oceanfront island-living, village feel, sandwiched between two state parks, low-traffic streets, golf at Crandon Park, highly rated schools, Miami Seaquarium** If you cherish a village feel with the bonus of a quiet beachfront, national parks, great schools, and want your kids to be able to bike around town without a worry, then Key Biscayne is the best Miami neighborhood for you. With only one road in and out, you know you and your loved ones are safe. Off the beaten path, just a 15-minute scenic drive from Brickell, Downtown Miami and Coconut Grove, this laidback island-village has plenty of watersports and features an incredible community center with an Olympic pool, jungle gym, gym for adults, indoor basketball court, ping pong & pool tables, volleyball, year-round programming, and more. It's also a nature and fitness lover's paradise with Biscayne National Park here, along with an historic lighthouse, multiple tennis complexes and a golf course. ### Fisher Island **What you’ll love: One of the most expensive zip codes in America, ultra-exclusive island, handful of high-net-worth neighbors, golf cart around town** One of the most luxurious zip codes in the country, living in Fisher Island is as exclusive as it gets in Miami. Only accessible by private boat, helicopter, or ferry, and with an extra layer of tight security, you are in one of the safest, most private islands in the world. There’s also a handful of restaurants, a gourmet market, the historic Mediterranean-style Vanderbilt Mansion for recreation, a coveted seaside golf course, and the recently renovated Fisher Island Club for residents to enjoy. Besides easy access to tranquil beaches and intricately-designed homes, expect to be living with captains of industry, celebrities, and other high-net-worth residents for neighbors.

View the most up-to-date market reports. Take me there now! As predicted in our Coral Gables and Coconut Grove report for Q2 2022, sales slowed down significantly over Q3 2022\. However, considering the third-quarter is generally the slowest quarter of the year, prices increased, days on market were stable, and inventory stayed low – this particular sub-market showed signs of health, unlike the national housing market that is showing signs of worsening stability. Read on for more details on how this pairing of Miami's most beautiful neighborhoods - Coconut Grove and Coral Gables - performed year-over-year, as well as against the overall Miami market trends in terms of sales, prices, days on market, and inventory in our exclusive, full-length analysis for luxury condos this Q3 2022.

As predicted in our Q2 2022 market report for the grouping, sales took a seasonal break this third quarter. After months of being in overdrive, it was quite expected for the market to stop and catch its breath. Echoing the slower pace of the overall Miami market, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove (collectively) reported the following Sales Trends in Q3 2022: * **Q3 2022 vs Q3 2021.** Sales declined 55.6% year-over-year, down from 63 sales in Q3 2021 to 28 for the same quarter of 2022\. (Fig. 1) * **Q3 2022 vs Q2 2021.** Sales dropped 69.2% quarter-over-quarter, down from 91 sales in Q2 to 28 in Q3 this year. (Fig. 1.1) * Interestingly, even as sales dropped significantly compared to the previous year's record-setting high, **numbers were still higher than any comparable quarter from 2020** or before. (See Q3 charts in Fig. 2.1) This shows that even though the luxury condo market lost some steam, it was not crashing and is most likely to maintain its growth threshold set over the past two years. * In a month-on-month comparison, July 2022 reported 10 sales compared to 20 for the same month last year. August this year reported 9 sales against 23 from the same month in 2021\. And, September reported 9 sales against 20 from the same month last year. (Fig 2.2) * Considering the third quarter of the year is usually the softest (as per historical data), it's no surprise that market momentum would hit a plateau. Going into the fourth quarter of the year, we, as luxury condo experts, expect this slower pace to continue before picking up somewhere around mid-January, as it does every year in Miami. With sales dipping, the 12-month Sales Trendline of Fig. 2.3 expectedly went back to a negative trajectory from its positive curve in Q2 2022. **Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Quarterly Sales 2015 - 2022 - Fig. 2.1** **Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Monthly Sales from Jan. 2016 to Sep. 2022 - Fig. 2.2** **Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo 12-Month Sales with Trendline - Fig. 2.3** ## Q3 2022 - Coconut Grove & Coral Gables Luxury Condo Prices Up YoY ### Q3 2022 Price per Square Foot up 9.8% to $756, Median Price flat year-over-year. Deviating partially from the overall Miami market trend of higher year-over-year price per square foot and a lower year-over-year median sales price in Q3 2022, the combined neighborhoods of Coral Gables and Coconut Grove reported as below: * Price per Square Foot increased by 9.8%, up from $689 in Q3 2021 to $756 in Q3 this year. (Fig. 1) * Median Sales Price stayed almost flat (1.1%), shifting marginally up from $1,515,000 in Q3 2021 to $1,531,250 in the comparable quarter of 2022\. (Fig. 1) * A look at the 5-year quarterly price per square foot chart in Fig. 3 below reveals that Q3 prices closed in the highest ranges – indicating that sellers received good value for their luxury condo investments in this grouping. **Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Quarterly Price per Sq. Ft. 2017-2022 - Fig. 3** ## Q3 2022 - Coconut Grove & Coral Gables Days on Market Up QoQ, But Down YoY **32% decline in year-over-year Days on Market.** In line with the overall Miami luxury condo market trend for Days on Market, this neighborhood pairing reported a decline in year-over-year numbers, but increase in quarter-over-quarter days on market. In Q3 2022, luxury condos spent 20 fewer days on the market compared to Q3 last year and 21 extra days compared to Q2 2022 (Fig. 4). This shows that even as momentum dropped, buyers and sellers were quick to come to a consensus compared to the previous year. **Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Quarterly Days on Market 2018-2022 – Fig. 4** ## Q3 2022 - Coconut Grove & Coral Gables Lowest Inventory in Miami – Sellers' Market Holds **Q3 2022 closed with 6 months of Inventory.** In line with the overall market trend in Miami, inventory in this pairing of lush tropical neighborhoods stayed very low. At 6 months, inventory was below the 9-12 months range of a balanced market, keeping sellers firmly in charge of negotiations as multiple buyers put in competitive offers (with most in cash). * On a quarter-over-quarter basis, inventory increased by 50% from 4 months in June 2022. * On a year-over-year basis, inventory was up 20% from 5 months in September 2021. One of the first sub-markets in Miami to shift from a buyer-dictated to seller's market several quarters ago, Coral Gables and Coconut Grove continued keeping the lowest levels of inventory of all the Miami neighborhoods under review. As real estate experts, we recommend sellers to consider selling now to make the most of this dynamic market with low inventory and high prices, especially considering we expect a softening of the market in the next quarters ahead. Those looking to buy a luxury home in these historically-significant, beautiful neighborhoods can search Coral Gables or Coconut Grove condos for sale here. **Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Months of Inventory from Mar. 2019 to Sep. 2022 - Fig. 5** _A balanced market has only 9-12 months of inventory. The months of inventory are calculated as – no. of active listings + no. of pending listings divided by the average number of deals in the last 6 months._ If you'd like a free market evaluation of your luxury property, please call, email, or chat to connect with one of our experienced local real estate professionals. ## Q3 2022 - Coral Gables & Coconut Grove Luxury Condo Market Conclusion In line with the overall Miami market trends noted for Q3 2022, this historic sub-market may have paced down but still showed solid signs of health. So, even as sales yielded to a seasonal slowdown, numbers were higher than any third quarter noted in pre-pandemic years. As expected, the 12-month Sales Trendline down-shifted into a negative trajectory from its positive curve in the previous quarter. Considering the luxury condo market generally picks up pace after December's landmark Art Basel event and mid-January, we, as luxury real estate experts, expect Q4 2022 to close softer as well. On the price front, the Price per Square Foot for this grouping **posted year-over-year gains**, much like the overall market. At $756/Sq. Ft., sellers continued receiving good value for their luxury condos in Coral Gables and Coconut Grove. Again, consistent with the overall Miami trend of lower year-over-year Days on Market, Coral Gables & Coconut Grove too reported a decline – indicating healthy buyer-seller communication. Being the quick-moving market it is, Coral Gables & Coconut Grove collectively reported the lowest levels of inventory in all of Miami in Q3 2022\. Since inventory stayed below the 9-12-month marker of a balanced market, sellers kept their stronghold on the market, continuing to steer negotiations in their favor. Looking at the next phase of the luxury condo market in Coral Gables & Coconut Grove, we, as real estate experts, expect the following factors to influence trends heading into the end of the year: * We expect the recent business migration trends coupled with our tax-saving policies to continue drawing in high-net-worth buyers, families and well-paid employees. * We expect higher interest rates to discourage only a few sellers who may have locked in lower mortgage rate or even refinanced at a more lucrative rate. Most buyers are paying in cash. * We expect a weaker Euro to cause only a slight shift, considering our foreign buyer statistics are dominated by Latin American (39%) and Canadian (25%) clientele rather than Europeans (12%). * We expect our branded luxury condos, like Mr. C Residences by the Cipriani brothers, coupled with lush outdoors, a yachting culture, rich cultural programming, and fabulous year-round weather to continue pulling in well-heeled buyers from across the globe to these very desirable neighborhoods. * We expect the market to shift into a more balanced position, as new construction projects continue over the next 2-3 years. **LET'S GET SOCIAL!** Connect with us on Instagram and Youtube.
