Welcome to Miami’s Curbed Comparisons, a column that explores what one can rent or buy for a set dollar amount across various South Florida neighborhoods. Is one man's studio another man's townhouse? Let's find out!
This week we circle back to Miami’s median rent for a one-bedroom apartment: $1,750 a month, according to the latest report. That actually represents a 3 percent decrease from a year ago but still remains well above the national figure of $1,233.
We’re going to stretch our search to $1,800 being that it’s a renter’s market and discounts of at least $50 are likely. We’re also going to focus solely on the four neighborhoods remaining in this year’s Curbed Cup: Wynwood, South Beach, Brickell, and Downtown.
Other recent Curbed Comparisons include apartments for $3,000 or less and homes for sale asking under $280,000.
