SETTLE · RENTALS · EDITION #10 · OCTOBER 2026
Landing between Wynwood and the bay — five homes in the Midtown–Edgewater corridor for professionals who want design, art and water in the same week.
This edition is for young professionals and couples relocating to Miami for work who are looking for apartments for rent in Midtown Miami: living between Wynwood’s murals, the Design District and the bay, ten minutes from Downtown and Brickell. I reviewed the 252 annual rentals listed in Midtown and Wynwood between $4,000 and $12,000 and kept the five below, from $6,500 to $10,300.
Every home below is active as of October 29, 2026, with price and availability verified.

Why I picked it for your landing: If your landing plan is “arrive with suitcases and start work on Monday”, this is the one: a brand-new residence that has never been lived in, furnished by a designer, on the Midtown street grid — Wynwood one way, the Design District the other, the bay five minutes east. The one-year term is clean and stated, and the rent just came down.
Ideal for: A professional or a couple relocating for work who wants a furnished, zero-setup first year in Midtown.

$8,995 — Gran Paraiso, Midtown–Edgewater corridor
2 bd · 3 ba · 1,143 sq ft · $7.87/sq ft · Direct ocean view · Midtown–Edgewater corridor
The resort-format furnished — Paraiso’s pools and beach club, with the ocean in the windows
- Beds / baths: 2 bd · 3 ba
- Living area: 1,143 sq ft · $7.87/sq ft
- Building: Gran Paraiso (2019), 50 stories, direct ocean and pool views, waterfront
- Pets: Yes — $500 pet fee, dogs up to 30 lbs
- Parking: 1 garage space
- Furnished: Yes — furnished
- Laundry: Washer and dryer in the unit · Dishwasher: Yes
- Lease: Short or long term — a 12-month lease is available at this same rent; I confirm the exact terms for you before you apply
- Available: September 1, 2026
- Days on market: 82
- Good to know: Application fee $150 · Move-in cost $25,000 · The Paraiso complex brings a beach club, lagoon-style pools and a spa to your first year
Why I picked it for your landing: Three full bathrooms in a two-bedroom is a quiet luxury — guests stop being a logistics problem. Add the furnished interior, the in-unit laundry and the whole Paraiso amenity program on the bay, and this is the corridor’s most complete furnished landing at under $9,000.
Ideal for: A couple — or a professional who hosts family often — that wants furnished, waterfront and amenity-rich.

$9,000 — Paramount Bay, Midtown–Edgewater corridor
2 bd · 2.5 ba · 1,673 sq ft · $5.38/sq ft · Bayfront · Midtown–Edgewater corridor
The space value — 1,673 sq ft on the 33rd floor, listed two days ago

- Laundry: Washer and dryer in the unit · Dishwasher: Yes

- Good to know: Application fee $150 · Move-in cost $27,000 · Association approval takes about 1–2 weeks and includes a personal interview · Listed October 28, 2026 — one of the freshest listings in this edition
Why I picked it for your landing: The math is the argument: 1,673 square feet — the largest floor plan here — at the lowest cost per foot of the bayfront set, in a tower whose service standard is a byword on this corridor. It was listed two days ago, so the timing favors whoever lands first with paperwork ready.
Ideal for: A couple or a small family that wants real square footage on the bay and a tower with full service.

$10,000 — Icon Bay, Midtown–Edgewater corridor
3 bd · 2.5 ba · 1,395 sq ft · $7.17/sq ft · Bay views · Midtown–Edgewater corridor
The three-bedroom furnished — east-facing bay sunrises from the 29th floor
- Beds / baths: 3 bd · 2.5 ba
- Living area: 1,395 sq ft · $7.17/sq ft

- Available: May 28, 2026
- Days on market: 203
- Good to know: Application fee $150 · Move-in cost $40,000 · Association approval takes about 1–2 weeks
Why I picked it for your landing: The only furnished three-bedroom in this edition — the third room is the office or the kids’ room without giving up the bay. It faces east, so mornings start over the water, and Icon Bay’s rooftop deck is one of the corridor’s best amenity floors. It has been listed a while, which at this size and furnishing level is worth a serious look rather than a skip.
Ideal for: A family or a professional pair that needs a real third room, furnished, on the bay.

$10,300 — Aria Reserve North, Midtown–Edgewater corridor
2 bd · 3 ba · 1,480 sq ft · $6.96/sq ft · Bay view · Midtown–Edgewater corridor
The brand-new flagship — a 2026 tower, 56th floor, never occupied, listed yesterday
- Beds / baths: 2 bd · 3 ba
- Living area: 1,480 sq ft · $6.96/sq ft
- Building: Aria Reserve North (2026), 62 stories, 56th floor, bay view, waterfront
- Pets: Yes — $500 nonrefundable pet fee, cats and dogs welcome, some restrictions may apply
- Parking: 1 garage space, valet parking
- Furnished: No — unfurnished, brand-new and never occupied
- Laundry: Washer and dryer in the unit · Dishwasher: Yes
- Lease: One year with renewal option
- Available: October 28, 2026
- Days on market: 1
- Good to know: Application fee $150 · Move-in cost $30,900 · Association approval takes about 3–4 weeks — start early · The rent includes the association fee, hot water, internet, pool maintenance, waste and water/sewer
Why I picked it for your landing: A tower delivered this year, a unit nobody has lived in, on the 56th floor over the bay — and a rent that already carries the association fee and internet, which quietly removes two monthly bills from your landing budget. The planning note is the approval: three to four weeks, so this one rewards an early application.
Ideal for: A professional or a couple that wants the newest building on the corridor and a first year with included services.

Landing in Midtown
- Schools (zone level): The corridor leans professional more than family, but arriving families ask about the public schools zoned for Midtown and Edgewater — confirm your exact zone with Miami-Dade County Public Schools before signing
- Getting around: This is one of Miami’s most walkable stretches: Wynwood Walls, the Design District and Margaret Pace Park on the bay are a walk or minutes away; the Downtown Metromover connects in minutes
- Commute: Downtown and Brickell ±10 min · Miami Beach ±15 min via I-195 · Miami International Airport (MIA) ±20 min
