Five Affordable Downtown Miami Rentals

In a recent Daily Business Review article, experts believe that rental rates in Downtown Miami are on the rise.  Harvey Hernandez, Managing Director, Newgard Development Group, stated that with the population influx in this part of Miami, the booming neighborhood is “not going to have enough product to cover the demand." Hernandez said based on predictions for a population influx in central Miami. He further stated that he anticipates the rental rate per square foot to jump from the current $2.25 to $2.50 to about $3.25 which is aimed at “the professional who wants to be centrally located," he said.

When comparing rentals, two and three bedroom units are a better value when looking at the price per square foot.  With that in mind, it is still possible to find a great, roomy Downtown Miami rental with over two bedrooms in a well sought-after condominium.  Here are five condominiums with two-bedroom residences for well under $3.00 per square foot.
