Miami new construction is on a roll with so many properties
coming up in different parts of the city as well as the Bayfront area. Real estate professionals often say that the
Miami Bayfront is booming! And what a
great place to be…the Miami Bayfront features amazingly breathtaking views of
Biscayne Bay, South Beach and the Miami skyline.
One of the best parts of living here is being so close to
Bayfront Park. If there is not an event
going on, it is just a nice place to spend some time outside getting your daily
dose of Vitamin D. A really cool event coming up next weekend is the Ultra Music Festival. Over the three days – March 28-30, the
world’s most famous DJ’s come together at one of the largest electronic music
festivals in the world. This is a
fantastic event for anyone who loves music and loves to dance with several popular Miami DJs performing.
Bayfront Park is one of the best parts of Miami. This large park features a large amphitheater
and a large park and pavilion. In
addition to simply enjoying the tropical landscaping, there are free yoga
classes, a trapeze school, a huge playground and so much more.

An up and coming neighborhood, Edgewater , is situated just
north of Bayfront Park and is undergoing a major overhaul turning it from a
rundown and avoided part of Miami into a neighborhood where people are
beginning to flock. Developers like The

projects along the water.
