Our Take

This central Miami neighborhood, encompassing parts of Overtown and Wynwood, offers a compelling blend of urban accessibility and a surprisingly low flood risk for Miami. While undergoing rapid development, buyers should be aware of the significant income disparity and the area's evolving character.
