Where Does Anitta Live in Florida? Her Morningside Home in Miami

Where does Anitta live? In Miami for much of the year, in a 1940 Mediterranean style house in Morningside, a historic neighborhood on the bay just north of the Design District. Brazilian outlet Metropoles reported the purchase in 2021 at about $1.5 million. She also keeps a home in Rio de Janeiro, the city she comes from, and she moves between the two. Here is what public reporting says about the Miami house, why she bought it, and what her neighbors' homes cost today.

Key takeaways

• Morningside, Miami: a historic district of 1920s to 1940s homes between Biscayne Boulevard and the bay.
• Bought for $1.525 million in March 2021, Metropoles reported, citing Miami-Dade records.
• A 1940 Mediterranean house with three bedrooms, two baths and a pool, on a lot with mature palms.
• City of Miami median list price is about $640,000 across more than 11,000 listings, per our MLS feed as of September 2026.

Where does Anitta live in Florida?

Morningside is the answer, and it is a more modest choice than most stars make. The neighborhood sits on the west shore of Biscayne Bay in the City of Miami, roughly between 50th and 60th streets, east of Biscayne Boulevard. It is one of the city's oldest platted subdivisions, and the homes are mostly Mediterranean revival and Art Deco houses from the 1920s through the 1940s. A guard booth controls car access from the boulevard, but the streets are public.

Metropoles, a Brazilian news site, reported in May 2021 that Anitta had bought a house there on March 1 of that year for $1.525 million, or about 8 million reais at the time. The paper drew on Miami-Dade property records. Brazilian fan accounts had already spotted the purchase in April, which is how the story broke. Pure Equity does not publish private addresses, so we name the neighborhood only.

Morningside has drawn artists and designers for years because it is old, walkable and close to the Design District and Wynwood. You can see current listings on our Morningside page and across the city on our Miami page. Anitta joins the Latin and Brazilian names in our South Florida celebrity roundup.

Inside the reported Morningside home

The house dates to 1940 and keeps its Mediterranean lines, per Metropoles. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two car garage. Inside there is a large dining room, a living area, a kitchen with granite counters, a powder room and a television room with a fireplace. The walls are white inside and out.

Outside is the reason to buy in Morningside. The lot has a garden with palm trees, a pool with both heating and cooling, and a barbecue area. The roof was redone in 2018 and the air conditioning in 2020, according to the listing details Metropoles cited. So the house was move in ready rather than a project. A Brazilian television segment later covered a renovation she carried out, though the scope was not detailed.

At about $1.5 million, the purchase was a small one by Miami celebrity standards. Compare it with the eight figure deals on Star Island or North Bay Road and it reads as a working base rather than a trophy. That fits what she said at the time about why she bought.

Why Anitta chose Miami

The stated reason was work. In 2021 Anitta was building an English language career after a decade as the biggest pop star in Brazil. Metropoles reported that she bought the house to focus on that push and to work with the producers and labels she needed in the United States. Miami is the center of the Latin music business in the country, and it is also the U.S. city with the largest Brazilian community. Her single Envolver went to number one on Spotify's global chart in 2022, the year after the purchase.

Miami also sits between her two markets. Flights to Rio and Sao Paulo are direct, and Los Angeles and New York are a few hours the other way. For a singer who records in Portuguese, Spanish and English, that geography matters more than a view.

Morningside itself is a practical pick. It is fifteen minutes from the airport and from the studios in Wynwood and the Design District. It has old trees and quiet streets, and the guard booth keeps traffic down without the cost of a gated island. Several musicians and designers have bought there for the same reasons.

There is a cost angle too. A $1.5 million house in Morningside carries far lower taxes, insurance and upkeep than a $15 million house on the water, and a touring artist who is away half the year has little use for the second kind. Buying small in a strong neighborhood also protects value; historic districts in Miami have held up better than new construction in downturns. The choice looks less like modesty and more like good sense.

Where else does Anitta live?

Rio de Janeiro is the other home, and the bigger one. She grew up in Honorio Gurgel, a working class neighborhood in the north of the city, and her main Brazilian residence is a mansion in the Barra da Tijuca area. Metropoles put its value at about 10 million reais. Architectural Digest filmed an Open Door tour of a mountainside Rio home she owns, which shows the scale of it. Brazilian media have also reported an apartment in the city.

Which home is primary shifts with her schedule. Her recording and promotion in English happen out of Miami, and she has described spending most of her time there in recent years. Her Brazilian tours, television work and family bring her back to Rio for long stretches. In short, Miami is the work base and Rio is home, and both are real residences rather than investments.

What homes near Anitta cost

The City of Miami as a whole had more than 11,000 active listings in our MLS feed as of September 2026, with a median list price of about $640,000 and an average of about 131 days on market. That median is a condo figure. Morningside is a single family district and prices there run higher.

Historic houses in Morningside on dry lots have sold in the low millions in recent years, while bayfront homes in the neighborhood go much higher. Anitta's $1.5 million purchase in early 2021 came before the sharpest run up, so the same house would likely list higher today. Nearby, Belle Meade and Bay Point offer a similar mix of old houses and bay access. Our waterfront homes hub covers the bayfront tier across the city.

For sellers in the Upper East Side neighborhoods, the buyer pool is a mix of locals moving up and out of town buyers who want to be near Wynwood and the Design District. Homes there have moved faster than the county average.

Pricing a historic house is its own skill, though. Original features add value to some buyers and read as work to others, so the comps matter more than the square footage. County figures are on our Miami-Dade County page.
