It contains a wealth of Mediterranean, Art Deco, and vernacular style houses that reflect the diversity and direction of architectural design during the 1920s and 1930s. Morningside is one of Miami's best planned subdivisions. It is a quiet neighborhood featuring wide, tree-lined boulevards that are ideal for strollers, and contribute to the character of the area.
