Midtown 4 Miami

Nice location, great layouts, modern, beautiful common areas… tons of restaurants and shops within walking distance. Up and coming!

The management office here consists of some of the rudest people you will ever meet in your life all in one centralized location! YAYY. I have decided not to live here solely because they made the process absolutely miserable.

Front desk staff is the best you will ever meet.
The elevators are absolutely the worst you will ever see in any bldg. There is always something wrong with the elevators. At least once a week-​at least.
If you choose to live here be forewarned warned — you are forced to use Hotwire service which is hands-​down the most unreliable service– I have had other service providers and never had the amount of issues I have had living here at such a frequency. A big property like this should be utilizing a big internet/​cable Company like AT&T or Xfinity. I never heard of Hotwire before moving here ‘that should have told me something.

We lived here for one year… decided not to buy here. Felt the building was really poorly managed. The only real amenity is the pool and your right under the MIA air traffic pattern, so you’re listening to jets landing every 5 minutes (no joke). Felt the neighborhood was not as luxe as the asking prices for their units. There are a couple great restaurants here but, let’s be honest, the anchor stores at Midtown are discount/​outlet retailers and the crowd hanging out there generally reflects that. You only get ONE parking spot and pay $ 75/​month to have another one — at the TARGET parking lot a block away (not so fun in the rain). And that extra spot you pay for will never be guaranteed — which is not fun during the large events that take place there (ie ArtMiami). The valet are sloppy (and often in their cell phones or yapping in Spanish at the top of their lungs in the lobby), the front desk staff are mostly forgettable (except when they’ve plugged in their personal clock radios and are playing disco in the lobby at 6 am! (so luxe)… We just felt the place just needs a lot of work and better management to command the prices they’re asking… especially when there are so many other great options for luxe urban living in Miami.

I know, you look at the website, the pictures, the floor plans and you think WOW! what a living, I want to be there. Well, we have been there for 3 years and I am confident that many will agree, it only seems nice.
The neighborhood is OK, you have some nice places to go for dinner and drinks: Sugarcane, Five Guys, Cheese Course; shopping: Target, Marshalls, West Elm and few others. Other than that it is an «island» — one block either direction and you in a ghetto, which explains why they have security patrolling the area 24h. All buildings in this are are pet friendly, which is great for pet owners such as myself. However, many people think its ok not to pick up their dog’s waist; you can feel it the most in the hot humid summer days. On the other side this area/​building is absolutely not children friendly, even though a lot of young families live there, there is no playground. All grass area is contaminated with dog fecal — definitely not a place I would have my 2-​year-​old run around.
For the building self: it looks nice because its new. We lived high up so we had an amazing view to the city and water. The unit self also had a great layout and my favorite part — a lot of closets! The biggest problem in this building are the elevators (4 for approx. 300 units), 2 of which are always either out of order or reserved. At times if you hit the rush-​hour you might wait for one to come for 20 minutes, that happened to us and many other people plenty of times. There is no service in this building whatsoever, and the most unfriendly front desk stuff I have ever met. Only one parking spot per unit and the second one at $ 75 per month at a different garage in the neighborhood or valet for also $ 75 per month. The tired of our car got slashed in the garage one night, and when we complained at the management office one of the girls said that some other people had a dispute about this parking spot just a few months ago and one’s tires got slashed there too, hence she assumed our car was confused with the other tenant. So random… Then we learned that our next-​door neighbor’s tires also got slashed on both cars just few weeks before. Obviously nobody in this building wanted to take responsibility.
Visitors pay to park on the street or valet for $ 10. The tiny gym is the size of a studio with few old machines and outdated treadmills, the weights don’t always have a pair (not sure why people do with them). There is no social/​media or party room in this building, instead they put their sales office that takes up 4 units in there. Going out to the pool which looks very nice, you will be fighting for one of the 17 chairs (per over 300 units), no umbrellas, no towels, no nothing. There is also no sun after 3pm.
Be sure of your rent increase by 7% every year, they wanted to increase our rent by $ 450 for the next year and when our neighbors asked them about their upcoming increase they received a letter few days later that they had to move because the developer wanted to stage their unit as model apartment. Nobody even bothered to inform them.
Going back to what I said in the beginning: «It only seems nice». They charge rent as if they were as 5 star condo like Murano, Icon etc. but they are not even close to live up to people’s expectations.
Don’t spend your money there, you will regret it.
