Brickell Key

An island of high-rise condominium towers reached by one bridge from Brickell Avenue. It sits inside the City of Miami rather than being its own municipality, which changes what published data exists for it. Its perimeter baywalk is currently closed in sections while the seawall and path are rebuilt.

Why this table is shorter

Brickell Key is a neighbourhood inside the City of Miami, not a town or a census-designated place. The Census Bureau does not publish population, income or home-value figures at that level, so the rows that appear on the other island pages do not exist here.

Figures you may see quoted for Brickell Key elsewhere are generally drawn from listing sites or estimated from a wider ZIP code. They are not Census figures, and they are not shown here for that reason.

What can be said with confidence is what the buildings themselves publish, and that is verified per property rather than per island.

Schools

Brickell Key is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, and assignment is by property address, not by neighbourhood name.

The district also runs magnet and choice programs open to students outside their assigned zone, each with its own application window.

Send us the address you are considering and we will look up the assigned schools. Which school suits your child is your decision.

Before you commit

This is an island of individual condominium associations. Dues, reserves, assessments, rental rules, pet rules and short-term letting policy are set by each building, and they vary widely across the island.

Two units with the same view can carry very different monthly costs. The association documents are where that shows up, and they need reading before an offer, not after.

How this market works

Brickell Key has a real, active market, several thousand condominium units across a handful of towers.

But the figure that decides whether a unit works financially is rarely the asking price. It is the monthly carrying cost: dues, reserves, insurance, and whether the building has an assessment coming.

That is knowable, building by building, before you make an offer.

Where these facts come from

Figures change. Verify anything decision-critical against the source at the time you need it.

  • Why no Census figures are shown Brickell Key is not a separate incorporated place or census-designated place, so the U.S. Census Bureau does not publish population, income or housing figures for it. It is counted within the City of Miami.
  • Cost of living, temperatures and unemployment BEA regional price parities, NOAA climate normals and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, at Miami metropolitan area level.
  • Flood risk FEMA Flood Map Service Center. Always check the specific address.
  • School assignment Miami-Dade County Public Schools, by property address.
  • Baywalk status, the island’s perimeter path is closed in sections while the seawall and walkway are rebuilt following demolition at the southern tip. Common areas including parts of the baywalk are administered by the Brickell Key Master Association. Verify current access before relying on it.
