With the increasing popularity of living in walkable communities, rents are on the rise in areas such as downtown Brickell and Coral Gables. The fact that there are so many new buildings with great amenities and upgraded finishes, such as granite counter tops and modern kitchens and baths, in these two areas have lead to an increase in demand and rents. An unfurnished 2 bedroom 2 bath condo in a newer building starts at $2000.
