Miami’s Upper Eastside
is a collection of neighborhoods that have become increasingly popular over recent years. Miami Shores is properly a village in its own right but is part of the community of Miami overall. It was established during the first few waves of suburbanization and, though the city skyline of Miami is visible from this village, it still retains a homey, suburban feel. The village has its own government and is known as “The Village Beautiful”. It is home to its own school district and a university.

neighborhoods have recently drawn the interest of people who want to live in an area more attached to the central community than pre-planned suburbs typically offer. This is an upscale, exclusive neighborhood with beautiful views of the Biscayne Bay but it remains popular with the arts and design community. There are numerous single-family residences available in this neighborhood, many of them at prices which are surprisingly affordable considering the waterfront views and the pleasant and tranquil environs.
Miami Shores real estate
is very close to Miami proper. In fact, at night, one can easily see the skyline of the city illuminated against the horizon. That is, of course, provided they haven’t turned their head toward the bay and happen to be looking out onto the water. This mix of the urban and a beautiful natural environment is much of the reason that this neighborhood continues to grow in popularity and is also why this neighborhood is a good location for investment property.
Since 1940
Miami Shores has been the home to Barry University. This is a private, Catholic university which offers a broad range of classes. Liberal arts, teacher training, business degrees, nursing and healthcare are all available courses of study at this university.
Geographically, Miami Shores
faces east toward Biscayne Bay and lies to the north of Miami’s vibrant and bustling downtown. The location makes it easy to commute anywhere in the city and its feeling of being somewhat apart from the city itself makes it a good place to call home when commuting back in the evening. Homes for sale in Miami Shores comprise all types, from nice, single family residences to very upscale waterfront properties that offer the type of views and lifestyle most people have in mind when they’re considering moving their place of residence to the Miami area.
