Where students live
The US-1/S Dixie Hwy corridor from Coral Gables into South Miami, plus rented houses along Ponce de Leon Blvd within walking distance.
This is a conventional Miami luxury market — mostly unfurnished mid/high-rises on 12-month leases, not per-bed student housing. UM maintains offcampus.miami.edu with vetted listings.
