Upper East Side

Lots Happening In The Upper East Side of Miami

The Upper East Side neighborhood of Miami is to the east of Biscayne Boulevard and northeast of Downtown Miami. Midtown Miami is to the south, and if you head to the east, you’ll get to sandy shores of Miami’s North Beach. Upper East Side is commonly referred to as the MiMo district by locals and is home to Miami’s most extensive collection of “Modern” hotels. Residences share the evolving landscape with dozens of small local businesses that line the street and mid-rise buildings. Generational families and young professionals can be seen enjoying their lunch at some of the local organic food eateries or strolling to the nearest market.

Where To Live in Upper East Side

A majority of the single-family home units in the Upper East Side were constructed in the ‘50s and require some renovation. Many of the people who have recently moved into the area live in mid-rise or multifamily condo buildings. Most of these buildings are constructed along sidestreets but are not that far from Biscayne Boulevard, which is Upper East Side’s commerce center. As you head towards the intercostal bay, homes become more expensive and lavish. In the Upper East Side, the further east you go, the more affluent things become. The mix of Miami transplants and generational locals make this district unique, and it is increasingly becoming popular.

You will see everything from Vietnamese to French fusion to dozens of organic smoothie and juice bars and novelty hot dog stands. Most of the local restaurants in the Upper East Side have a laid-back vibe, and this portrays a sense of community within the neighborhood. Though small establishments, most of these eateries hold their own against some of Miami’s trendier restaurants.

What You’ll See in Upper East Side

You will see residents carrying on with their daily activities or shopping. Unique brands of businesses and modern contemporary structures from the ‘60s highlight Biscayne Boulevard. Small outdoor eateries with professionally-manicured plants in a sea of streets and concrete sidewalks are a typical scene in Upper East Side. Here, you’ll see families, young professionals, and students living next to each other in this fast-rising neighborhood.

Things To Do in Upper East Side

The small food places that had modest traffic during the day become the everyone’s destination of choice in the evening for people living around the area. Happy Hour “offers” entice residents to have hor ‘oeuvres and after-work cocktails. If you are a sports fan, you can watch the game of the week on TVs in sports bars as you socialize with friends and colleagues. As the night grows older, barstools and tables are moved to create a dance floor as the music gets louder, and revelers become livelier.

The Upper East Side neighborhood is only a 10 minutes’ drive to north beach, which explains why you will see most locals heading in that direction. If they aren’t at the beach, then rest assured, they are having brunch at a quaint local bistro or running errands. If the beach does not call them, then look for them at the nearby Intracoastal Waterway, one of Miami’s famous destinations for fishing and watersports activities.
