Flagami apartments for rent

Flagami is a neighborhood on the west side of the City of Miami; its name joins Flagler and Tamiami. Flagler Street runs through it, the Tamiami Trail (SW 8th Street) marks its southern edge, and it takes in the Alameda, Fairlawn and Grapeland Heights areas.

MiaRent's Flagami listings sit north of Flagler Street, along and near NW 7th Street, and are newer communities with pools, fitness centers and pet amenities. Blue Lagoon 7, from 2019, has a sauna, a kickboxing studio and a playground, and LaVida Apartments has a resort-style pool with cabanas and a yoga studio. At 850 Living, on NW 43rd Avenue, part of the units rent below market to households under an income limit, with income paperwork each year. Our building files don't place any of these at a rail station, so plan on driving or the bus.

Getting around is mostly by road. Metrobus Route 7 runs along NW 7th Street between Downtown and Sweetwater, and Flagler Street has a local route to University Park, home of Florida International University's main campus, plus the faster Flagler MAX. The Dolphin Expressway (SR 836), a cashless toll road that passes the southern end of Miami International Airport, has exits at Red Road (NW 57th Avenue) and NW 45th Avenue and runs east to the Civic Center medical area, I-95 and Downtown. East of Le Jeune Road, the Miami Intermodal Center has Metrorail's Orange Line, Tri-Rail, Metrobus and the free MIA Mover to the airport terminals.

Away from the new buildings, Flagami's housing is a mix of moderately priced apartments, duplexes and small, neatly kept, brightly painted single-family homes. Fairlawn Elementary is in the neighborhood, and Coral Gables lies just south, across the Tamiami Trail from the Alameda area.

Flagami suits renters who want a newer building on the west side of the City of Miami, with the Dolphin Expressway close by, and who mostly drive. Compare it with Little Havana, closer to Downtown, and with Coral Gables and Doral.
