Midtown -- The Miami Midtown Arts District is the neighborhood just north of downtown Miami along Biscayne Boulevard. It is bounded by Biscayne Bay on the east and the Design District on the north. This neighborhood is undergoing a major renaissance and explosive redevelopment. The change is being driven by the growing desire of people to leave the monotony of the suburbs (and the long commutes) and live in a vital, stimulating urban environment filled with interesting restaurants, live music venues, art galleries and walkable streets.
North of downtown Miami Midtown along Biscayne Boulevard is being transformed into a gracious pedestrian promenade worthy of its name, with sculpted medians, paved sidewalks and abundant landscaping. The upcoming Museum Park (at the current Bicentennial Park site) will be a waterfront park with vast green spaces on a 29 acre site. It will also be the home of a new Museum of Science and Space Transit Planetarium and the new Miami Art Museum. As Miami's version of Central Park, it will rival the greatest public spaces of the world becoming a magnet for locals and visitors alike and transforming lower Biscayne Boulevard.
