Miami’s First Historic Neighborhood

Sunday, I went to the 25th Anniversary Tour of Historic Morningside, Miami, Florida.  What a good chance for the residents lucky enough to live here to show off their family friendly neighborhood that is so full of charm and character.  It was a fantastic example of a community coming together and sharing their rich history with others.  It was a well organized event with everything from a few exhibitor booths to a trolley bus to carry you from one end of the neighborhood to the other.  Nine homes in all were included.  All different and all had something special to contribute to the historic home admirer.  The weather was perfect so I decided to walk the route.  Everybody was nodding hello in mutual recognition of their shared enthusiasm for this Miami neighborhood, or historical homes in general. With the huge transient population Miami has, most people probably don’t know about Miami’s rich heritage.  To check out more of Miami’s historic districts, please go to the City of Miami’s Historic Sites and District web page. Also to have a good read about this northeast neighborhood of Miami, please read The Historic Houses of Morningside, by Keith Edward Soto, A.I.A.  If you have any interest in owning an historic home in this convenient upper east side neighborhood of Miami, I’ve made available for you to see exactly what is available for sale presently.

Please contact me if you have any questions regarding this magnificent family neighborhood.  Call me at 305-764-8959 or mmattsson@yahoo.com.
