Life in Brickell is fast-paced, and its urban landscape keeps you close to work and play. Almost everything in the area is accessible by foot. Many locals walk or rent sidewalk scooters to get from one place to another. There is a free commuter rail and trolley service for short trips around town and buses and trains for longer excursions.
Brickell is close to everything. Downtown Miami is steps away, and Miami Beach is a quick 10-minute drive across the bridge. The beaches of Key Biscayne and Coconut Grove are also within reach, and the banks of the river and the bay are right at your fingertips.
The neighborhood has a few single-family homes, but most residents live in modern, upscale condominiums. Small parks are scattered throughout the area, and one is on Brickell Key, a triangular man-made island on Biscayne Bay.
