The Upper Eastside (alternatively spelled East Side and commonly referred to as the Northeast[1]) neighborhood of Miami, Fl, is north of Midtown, east of Little Haiti, south of the village of Miami Shores, and sits on Biscayne Bay. It contains the neighborhood of Morningside and is home to a large population of fashion and design oriented people.[citation needed] It has a population of 15,322 of different ethnicities and races that includes high, middle and low income residents. Biscayne Boulevard is the central spine of this neighborhood.[1] The neighborhood like the rest of Miami is quickly becoming composed mostly of artisitic and bright colored homes and condos.
Public Projects
A beautification and landscape project was recently completed on Biscayne Boulevard and Legion Park and Eaton Park recently received improvements such as new playground equipment. Construction on new Little River Canal and efforts to fight crime are currently being worked on.[1]
Zoning
Under pressure from residents to keep undesirably large buildings out, The Miami City Commission considered new building codes and a 180 moratorium on February 26th of 2007. With many homes built in the late 1920s, the Upper Eastside encompasses some of Miami's oldest neighborhoods and residents desire to keep it that way. The proposed codes were looser on distance to low-density areas but stricter on building height.[2]
