Wynwood

As a neighborhood, The Wynwood Art District just north of Downtown Miami is the pinnacle of urban cool. It was designed to be a socially unconventional district for showcasing world-class art and is home to prestigious art galleries exhibiting an array of art forms from modern art to graffiti art, museums, art studios and private collections. The idea for Wynwood was conceived by Mark Coetzee based on his successful project in Cape Town, South Africa called Art Night. On the second Saturday of each month, Wynwood hosts an Art Walk.  Museums, galleries, collections and studios exhibit their art at this event where the music is cool, the vibe is hip, and the refreshments are both tantalizingly savory and sweet.Art Wynwood, an International Contemporary Art Fair, held its inaugural art fair in 2012 and was enthusiastically received by artists, collectors, exhibitors, and art enthusiasts. Art Wynwood was embraced by the community and will be held annually over President’s Day Weekend.  Visitors to Wynwood are not limited to the vibrant art scene as the Shops at Midtown next to Wynwood await them. Browse the department stores or grab a bite at one of its casual restaurants. If it’s deliciously different cuisine you’re craving, the Miami food trucks deliver. They descend upon Wynwood during the Art Walk serving everything from gourmet sliders and ethnic fare to outrageous confections.
The Design District was intended to showcase world-renowned interior design firms and home furnishing stores but has evolved to include other creative businesses such as photography studios, architecture firms and micro businesses that vie to share urban office space. The Design District comes alive at night where chic restaurants and ultra hip nightclubs attract a fashionable crowd. Some of Miami’s coolest events are held in the Design District where seductive space from buildings like the Moore Building can create the perfect ambience.
Take a tour of the Design District, Midtown and Wynwood and explore their hip boutiques and galleries including a three course lunch or dinner after the tour at one of the trendiest restaurants in town.

The City of Pleasant Living

South Miami: Where Charm Meets Progress
Known as the “City of Pleasant Living,” South Miami is a vibrant, upwardly mobile community with deep roots and a bright future. Nestled among tree-lined streets and lush parks, this residential gem blends small-town charm with the energy of a bustling downtown. Trendy restaurants, boutique shops, and family-friendly events make South Miami a favorite for both residents and visitors.
The city’s story began in 1897 when W.A. Larkins, an early settler, founded a post office and built a dairy farm. The area, once called Larkins, grew steadily and officially became the City of South Miami in 1927. While early development was modest, things changed dramatically after World War II. Economic growth and community expansion surged—and that momentum continues today.
Downtown South Miami centers around Sunset Drive, a lively street lined with cafes, independent shops, and colorful storefronts. The Shops at Sunset Place, an open-air shopping destination, adds to the area’s appeal with entertainment options including an upscale bowling alley and movie theater. Just minutes away, you’ll also find Dadeland Mall and Shops at Merrick Park for even more retail therapy.
In addition, the city comes alive throughout the year with signature events such as Santa’s Parade of the Elves, a weekly seasonal Farmers Market, the South Miami Art Festival, and community-wide Fun Runs. These events reflect the city’s welcoming and active spirit.
South Miami is well-connected. It’s served by Metrobus and Metrorail, and conveniently located near Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Kendall via US1. Whether you’re commuting or exploring, getting around is easy and efficient.
Today, South Miami continues to grow, blending its historic roots with modern development, all while maintaining the friendly charm that earned it its name. It’s a place where families thrive, businesses grow, and visitors feel right at home.
