Hi Offtheradar. I used to work in the park during high school as part of an honors science volunteer effort in the summer of 1987. Back then, it was me and another student and the Park Ranger/Manager. Back then it was open all the time. It is a hammocks preserve with Florida native trees/plants. Other than the Park Ranger’s office, it has a garden center where the local garden club would meet. Back then, before a fence was put up, we would find santeria sacrifices, used condoms, and used drug paraphanelia. I hope the City of Miami keeps it as a preserve to show generations what Miami looked like and to educate all of us the importance of maintaining Florida native plants/animals…

I live in Brickell and absolutely love it. The Brickell area, or better said anything on Brickell with an unobstructed view of the bay, is largely undervalued in my opinion.

I live on Brickell Key and the fact that you can buy in my building (Tequesta 3) for $500 – $550 per sq. foot is a steal.
Anyone who hesitates to buy now will be kicking themselves in five years. Unobstructed on the bay in the Brickell Area will be at $1,000 / sq foot once we break out of this hicup we’re in.
And south beach will command $1,500-$2,000 where it should be.

Brickell offers the best of everything. It’s just a wonderful place to live.

At this point, Brickell, particularly the interior, is noisy with construction (look at the “too close for comfort” post and what Brad had to say. It’ll be this way for quite some time. Still, of all the urban areas, it is the most mature and is seeing some interesting retail development (MBV).
SOFI is pricey, unless you’re in the apogee, murano, and continuum $$ range. Sofi has some great loft-style projects in the interior(cosmopolitan…The courts, etc.) ..check those out.
You may want to look into the M&E along n. bayshore dr or even the CBD along the boulevard up to Parkwest. For a more quiet and less dense urban lifestyle, check out the SW 3rd avenue corridor (The Roads at 21, Nordica, etc.). Keeping your options open is good.

How is it to live in the Brickell area? I will be moving from my Miami Beach condo soon and am researching new neighborhoods. I have been thinking of Brickell or the South of 5th area on the beach.
