Upper Eastside is a small estimate, built from only 3 census tracts, but its values are among the highest in Miami. Homes are valued at $707,000, in 2nd place and 36% above the city, while renters pay $1,930, in 3rd place and 10% above it. Little Haiti, next door, shows $529,000 and $1,330, and Model City $371,000, so the drop across a short distance is steep. Ownership runs higher too, with 41.3% of households owning against 30.8% for Miami overall. The stock is old without being the oldest. Housing built before 1980 stands at 62.6%, with a midpoint of 1971, later than Model City's 1957 but earlier than Wynwood/Edgewater's 2008. In the city's north-east, Upper Eastside combines premium owner values with rents that stay well beneath Wynwood/Edgewater's $2,620, so buyers pay a premium here without the rental premium seen next door in that sector, which charges far more.
