Lived here for 2 years

I lived in the Met One building at the southern end of Biscayne Boulevard and really enjoyed the area. Farther north, there are some shady areas, but this location is great and safe. Beautiful views of the Miami River and Biscayne Bay, easy access to I-75 and Brickell is just across the bridge. Quick walk up to the AA Arena and very simple to get on I-395 to get over to South Beach
