With three massive towers, a bunch of townhouses, expansive grounds, a beauty salon, a pet salon, a spa, a sandy-beach pool, an infinity pool, a David Barton Gym, a private car sharing service (like Car2Go, but just for the building), and a residential population of South Beach's finest, the notorious Flamingo is a giant compound of rental insanity smack dab in the center of South Beach. Probably contributing to that notoriety: the onsite liquor store. Rents range from $1,500 to $3,800.

Melo Group's 22 Skyview, which has rents ranging from $1,500-$2,750 a month, recently opened in Edgewater. With concave and convex walls, the tower has a tiny smidge of architectural styling, but beyond that it's all stucco and glass. Views to the south, over Margaret Pace Park, an inlet of the bay, and a church parking lot, are glorious, but lower floor renters may want to be grateful they're just renting instead of owning. That church and its parking lot are on primo developable land.

One of the rare residential options in Wynwood, only a few of the rental units in Wynwood Lofts (which is half owner, half rental) remain available. The building is converted commercial, making it real lofts in the original sense of the word, for you purists out there. Rents range from $1500-$2750.

Despite its quirky name (Vizcaya+Biscayne?) the art deco-esque towers of Vizcayne remind us of New York in the 30s. Vizcayne is a set of two towers atop an amenity deck that spans the entire block, making it just about the size of Central Park. Units range in rent from $1,500 to $13,000.

With rents ranging from $1,500 to $4,000 a month, 50 Biscayne is the kind of building the Terra built—big, average styling, midrange (we've heard things about the quality of construction)—before their more recent dive into starchitecture and much more high end construction. Still, the location, in the heart of downtown and facing Bayfront Park, is great and only getting better.

Theoretically, you walk home to Opera Tower after seeing Figaro at the Arsht Center a few blocks away. Actually, you pick up your dog's poop at Margaret Pace Park across the street, and walk to the new Publix on Biscayne Boulevard for groceries. With rents ranging from $1,125 to $2,025 and copious bay views, it's still a pretty good life.

Are they "sky townhouses," "lofts," "live-work spaces," or just two-story apartments? Well, probably all of the above. This is yet another building in Miami's insta-city of Midtown.

Although built as a condo building, Ten Museum Park—perhaps the most architecturally restrained new tower in the "Biscayne Boulevard Wall" of buildings—has units for rental in the $2,000 range, going up to a whopping $19,000 a month.

Met One, the first tower of the Metropolitan Miami megaproject, is one of those condo towers that went rental in the real estate apocalypse and hasn't yet recommitted itself to total condo-dome. One of the biggest projects of the boom, two of Met Miami's 3 towers have been built, one with two hotels in it, and the third is finally, finally breaking ground with a Whole Foods store at its base. Rents here check out at $1,700 to a sold $4,000 a month.
