Known as the MiMo District to locals, this up and coming neighborhood, rich in architecture, history and art is one of Miami’s most fashionable communities. Spanning 27 blocks, between 50th and 77th Streets on Biscayne Boulevard, the MiMo District includes seven subdivisions including Magnolia Park, Bay Point, Morningside, Bayside, Belle Meade, Shorecrest and Palm Grove. Of these seven subdivisions, Belle Meade, Bay Point and Morningside offer three residential communities with single-family homes lending homage to 1920s architecture. Located on the easternmost edge of the MiMo District are a kaleidoscope of high-rise office buildings, new-concept hotels, savvy restaurants and apartment buildings with expansive views of Biscayne Bay.
A feast of architecture and culture hailing from the 1920s to present day, the palm-tree lined streets in the MiMo District are decorated with an array of wildly cool exterior décor. Originally an integral part of Miami’s architectural boom after World War II, the MiMo District has seen touches of 1920s Mediterranean Revival architecture to 1930s Art Deco style aesthetics (representative of the era’s love affair with national optimism and the cult of the automobile). Known as an architectural and historic gem, the MiMo District is now experiencing its revival, with many of the buildings restored with new contemporary elements. Populated with retro boutiques and clothing stores, trending eateries and bars and groovy entertainment venues, locals can enter a time capsule with a modern identity.
