While Miami remains the country’s ninth most expensive city to rent in in terms of median one-bedroom rentals ($1800 a month), we thought it’d be an eye-opening exercise to take a closer look at the most expensive homes for rent on the market.
These listings are asking as much as $150,000 a month, an incomprehensible figure for the typical tenant. Three homes in Miami-Dade County are asking $90,000 or more and a vast majority of listings on this map feature a Miami Beach address.
This article reveals Miami’s eight most expensive rentals, in order from most to least, according to Zillow.
Note: Omitting a 870-square-foot Hialeah townhome that’s asking $160,000 a month because it must be a mistake (hopefully).
1) Casa La Bonita
$150,000
Tied for Miami’s most expensive rental is a 14,268-square-footer oozing with gold. Dubbed Casa La Bonita (the pretty house), the mammoth estate offers a movie theater, an elevator, and Biscayne Bay views.
