Morningside Miami Homes Offers an Example of Revitalization

Morningside is a neighborhood in Miami's Upper Eastside. The story of this neighborhood and how the properties for sale have transformed from being decidedly out-of-fashion to being among the most sought-after is an interesting history in how a neighborhood's lifecycle unfolds and how much lifestyles have changed over the last century.

In the mid-1900's, the Morningside neighborhood was known as Bay Shore and its location near the heart of Miami made it among the most desirable places to be. It's eclectic homes and vibrant neighborhood made it attractive to people from all walks of life. Of course, the 20th Century saw a trend where homeowners decided to buy property far away from town which led to a decline in the quality and value of in-town homes. Morningside fell victim to that but this neighborhood was not ready to be done with yet.

Gradually, sensibilities changed and homeowners began to redevelop an interest in living close to town. The lack of a commute and the unfortunately sterile nature of many suburban environments raised in them a desire to live somewhere with a real neighborhood, with neighbors who represented a diverse cross-section of people and to actually be in a city rather than on its edge. Morningside started to be reborn as a result of this and, today, it's one of the most desirable and fashionable places to live.
