- Forty units closed between July 2025 and October 2026, at prices from $482,500 to $2,575,000. The median closing was $742,500, or about $701 a square foot.

- What are the HOA fees at Aria On The Bay?
- Listings show monthly association fees from $675 to $2,333, with a median of $1,230. Many listings say the fee covers water, sewer, trash, cable TV and building security, and some add internet and hot water. Ask the association for the current budget and any planned special assessments before you buy.
- Can you rent out a unit at Aria On The Bay?
- Many sale listings say leasing is allowed, and ten say a unit may be leased in the first year of ownership. Asking rents over the past year ran from $3,490 to $18,000 a month, with a median of $4,475. Listings disagree on short-term rentals, so get the current lease rules from the association in writing.
- Is Aria On The Bay pet friendly?
- Pets are allowed according to 74 of 77 listings that state a pet policy, but most of those listings also note pet restrictions, and a few mention size limits. If you have a large dog or more than one pet, confirm the current rules with the association before you write an offer.
- Do all units at Aria On The Bay face the water?
- No. Sixty-two of 77 listings note a bay view and 54 describe the unit as bayfront, but other lines face the city and the Miami skyline. Some units also list ocean or Intracoastal views from higher floors. View line is one of the biggest price drivers in the building, so compare closings by line, not just by size.
- How long does it take to sell a condo at Aria On The Bay?
- The median unit sold in 94 days over the past year and closed at about 96 percent of its final list price. Well-priced units can go faster. Some current listings have been on the market for more than 500 days, which usually means the asking price started above recent closings in the same line.
- When was Aria On The Bay built?
- The tower was completed in 2018, and every unit in recent listings carries that build year. Most listings put the building at 53 stories, and one listing describes it as an Arquitectonica design. Because the building is newer, buyers are mostly comparing floor, view and finishes rather than the age of systems.
- What schools serve Aria On The Bay?
- Current MLS listings show the building zoned for Phillis Wheatley Elementary, Jose De Diego Middle and Booker T. Washington High. Attendance zones can change from year to year, so confirm the assignment for a specific unit with Miami-Dade County Public Schools before you buy.
- How many homes are for sale in Aria On The Bay?
- There are 32 active listings for sale in Aria On The Bay right now, and these counts update from the MLS as homes come on the market and go under contract. The most expensive listing asks about 5 times the least expensive, so budgets vary widely within Aria On The Bay. Ask us to set up a search alert and you will see new Aria On The Bay listings the day they reach the market.
- What is the median home price in Aria On The Bay?
- The median list price in Aria On The Bay is $767,500, or roughly $738 per square foot. The median is the midpoint of what is currently listed, so about half of Aria On The Bay homes ask more and half ask less, within a broader range of $480,000 to $2,400,000. The median sits in the lower part of that range, so most Aria On The Bay homes are nearer the entry level and a few high-end listings pull the top up. We can pull recent comparable sales to price a specific home more precisely.
- What price range do homes in Aria On The Bay cover?
- Homes for sale in Aria On The Bay currently range from about $480,000 at the entry level to $2,400,000 at the top of the market. That spread reflects unit size, floor, and finish level across the condos and townhomes here, with the median list price around $767,500. That is a wide spread, so Aria On The Bay genuinely holds homes at very different budgets rather than one price point. Tell us your budget and must-haves and we will send the Aria On The Bay listings that actually fit.
- How long do homes take to sell in Aria On The Bay?
- Homes in Aria On The Bay are averaging 172 days on market, measured from the day a listing goes live to the day it goes under contract. That is a slow pace, so sellers here should expect to price carefully and buyers often have time to compare before committing. Days on market in Aria On The Bay also shift with the season and with how a home is priced, so a sharply priced listing can still sell well ahead of the average.
- Are there waterfront homes in Aria On The Bay?
- Yes. Aria On The Bay includes waterfront homes with canal, lake, or Intracoastal frontage.
About Aria On The Bay
Aria On The Bay, Miami, FL, is a waterfront community in Miami-Dade County with 32 homes for sale right now. Aria On The Bay is a waterfront community in Miami, Miami-Dade County, Florida. Active listings are priced from $499,000 to $529,800. Homes were built starting 2018. Pure Equity lists homes in Aria On The Bay and represents buyers. Commission is negotiable, and what we are paid is agreed with you in writing before you commit to anything.
Aria On The Bay is a single condominium tower at 488 NE 18th Street in Miami's Edgewater neighborhood. It was finished in 2018 and sits on Biscayne Bay, directly across from Margaret Pace Park. Most listings put the building at 53 stories. Units run from one-bedroom plans of about 706 square feet up to three-bedroom residences of 2,365 square feet, and the median unit in recent listings is about 1,161 square feet. With 32 units for sale, 5 under contract and 40 closings in the past year, this building turns over often. That shapes how an owner here should think about price, timing and presentation.
If you own at Aria and are thinking about selling, start with what actually closed. Forty units sold between July 2025 and early October 2026, at prices from $482,500 to $2,575,000. The median closing was $742,500, or about $701 a square foot. Units took a median of 94 days to sell and closed at a median of 96 percent of their final list price. The top sale was a 2,365 square foot three-bedroom that closed at $2,575,000 in August 2026. Two 2,018 square foot three-bedrooms closed a few days apart in late September and early October, at $2,025,000 and $2,200,000.
Floor height and view line move the price more than anything else in this building. A 1,178 square foot two-bedroom in unit 2401 closed at $650,000 in July 2026. A 1,171 square foot two-bedroom in unit 4900 closed at $965,000 two months later. Same size, very different outcome. That spread is why the building median of $701 a square foot is a weak guide for any single unit, and why closed prices here range from $552 to $1,140 a square foot. The 743 square foot one-bedrooms show the same pattern on a smaller scale, with recent closings between $482,500 and $535,000. We price units here against closings in the same line and a similar floor band first, then adjust for view, finishes and parking.
Competition is the main problem a seller faces. With 32 units listed at once, a buyer can often tour two or three units with the same floor plan in one afternoon. In the current listings, two 743 square foot one-bedrooms are asking $480,000 and $548,000, and the higher one has been on the market for more than 600 days. Units that sit that long almost always started too high. The asking median of $767,500 also runs above the closing median of $742,500. A seller who prices off other asking prices, rather than closings, should expect to wait. Clean staging, easy showings and a price set against recent same-line sales do most of the work here.
For buyers, the housing stock is easy to read. Everything dates from 2018, so there are no older-building layouts or systems to work around. Listings describe floor-to-ceiling glass, balconies, porcelain or marble floors and quartz counters, and several mention Italkraft cabinetry. One-bedroom and one-bedroom-plus-den plans make up a large share of what trades. Two-bedrooms of about 1,030 to 1,260 square feet sit in the middle, and the three-bedroom plans of 1,592 to 2,365 square feet are the top tier. Views drive value: 62 of 77 listings note a bay view, 54 describe the unit as bayfront, and others face the city and skyline instead.
The monthly fee is the number to study before you buy. Listings show association fees from $675 to $2,333 a month, with a median of $1,230, and the fee rises with unit size. Many listings say it covers water, sewer, trash, cable TV and building security, and a good number also include internet and hot water. Insurance appears as an included item in 18 listings. Ask the association for its current budget, its reserve figures and any planned special assessments before you commit. The amenity package is large, which is part of what the fee pays for: listings describe several amenity floors with two heated pools, a gym with a yoga room, spa, sauna and steam rooms.
Investors and part-time owners should read the leasing rules closely. Eighteen units were offered for rent over the past year, at asking rents from $3,490 to $18,000 a month and a median of $4,475. Many sale listings say leasing is allowed, and ten say a unit can be leased in the first year of ownership. A few show rental restrictions, though, and the listings disagree on short-term rentals, so get the current lease rules in writing. Pets are allowed according to 74 of 77 listings, usually with restrictions, and a handful mention size limits. Most units come with one assigned garage space, and 14 listings show two.
Aria makes the most sense for buyers who want a newer bayfront tower with a deep amenity package and are comfortable with a four-figure monthly fee. Buyers who want a lower fee in Edgewater usually give up the 2018 build year, the bay frontage or the amenity floors. For sellers, the takeaway is the reverse of what most people expect. Your main competition is not the next tower down the bay. It is the unit three floors above or below you with the same plan, and the sale usually goes to whichever of those is priced closest to the last few closings in its line.

How It Compares

On price, Aria On The Bay sits in the upper tier, drawing buyers who want more space, newer construction, or a stronger location. Whether Aria On The Bay is right for you depends on how you plan to use the home, full time or seasonally, and Pure Equity can walk you through the tradeoffs before you commit.
Amenities & Lifestyle
Living in Aria On The Bay
Daily life at Aria On The Bay moves between the amenity floors and the park across the street.

A 24-hour concierge and valet service appear in several listings. Margaret Pace Park sits directly across from the building on the bay, so residents have green space and a waterfront walk close at hand. Listing descriptions also point to restaurants in Edgewater and to Wynwood, Midtown, the Design District and Brickell a short drive away.
Location
Aria On The Bay location
Aria On The Bay is at 488 NE 18th Street in Miami, zip code 33132, in Miami-Dade County. The tower stands on the Edgewater stretch of Biscayne Bay across from Margaret Pace Park, between Downtown Miami and Brickell to the south and Midtown, Wynwood and the Design District to the north, as listing descriptions put it. One listing also notes convenient airport access. Current MLS listings show the building zoned for Phillis Wheatley Elementary, Jose De Diego Middle and Booker T. Washington High. Attendance zones can change, so confirm the assignment for a specific unit with Miami-Dade County Public Schools before you buy.
Buying in Aria On The Bay
Buying a home in Aria On The Bay
The buying process in Aria On The Bay is the one used across Miami-Dade County. Getting a mortgage pre-approval first tells you your real budget and lets you move quickly when the right home comes up. Property taxes factor into the monthly payment: the median annual property tax in Miami-Dade County is about $3,516. Florida's homestead exemption lowers the taxable value of a primary residence, and the Save Our Homes cap limits how fast that assessed value can rise from year to year. Budget for homeowners insurance as well. Rates in Florida reflect wind and flood exposure, so gather quotes early and check whether a specific address sits in a FEMA flood zone. Once you are under contract, plan for a home inspection and, if you are financing, a lender appraisal, both of which fall inside the inspection period. Working with an agent who knows Miami means you see new listings in Aria On The Bay the day they reach the market.
Selling in Aria On The Bay
Selling a home in Aria On The Bay
Selling a home in Aria On The Bay starts with pricing it correctly for current conditions. List prices in Aria On The Bay currently center around $767,500, which is a starting reference for where a comparable home might be positioned. Homes that are decluttered, professionally photographed, and priced to recent comparable sales tend to draw the most interest in the first two weeks, when a listing is newest and gets the most views. Florida sellers usually pay the documentary stamp tax on the deed, currently $0.70 per $100 of the sale price in most counties, along with prorated property taxes and, by local custom in many areas, the owner's title insurance policy. We provide a no-obligation home valuation for Aria On The Bay owners in Miami, so you can see what your property could sell for before you commit to listing.
Thinking of Selling?
What is your Aria On The Bay home worth?
Online estimates miss what makes a home different. Tell us about yours and a licensed listing agent will send you a pricing opinion based on what has actually closed near you in Aria On The Bay.
Listing agents and seller representation in Aria On The Bay
Thinking about selling in Aria On The Bay? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.
Buyers currently hold leverage in Aria On The Bay, so pricing and presentation carry more weight than they would in a hot market. Homes that are prepared properly and priced against real closed sales still sell; the ones testing an optimistic number are the ones that sit. Homes here are averaging about 172 days from listing to accepted offer, so build that into your moving timeline.
Community-level detail matters most here. Association rules, what the fees cover, and which buildings sell fastest all affect your outcome. So does whether a buyer needs board approval before closing. None of it appears in a listing description. All of it decides whether a sale closes on time.
Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving Aria On The Bay. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving Aria On The Bay
People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.
What separates real estate professionals in Aria On The Bay is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in Aria On The Bay
A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.
Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in Aria On The Bay, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within Miami-Dade County, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.
What representation costs
Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.
Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find a listing agent in Aria On The Bay?

Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving Miami-Dade County. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.
What does a seller's agent actually do?
A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.
How much does a real estate agent cost in Aria On The Bay?
Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.
What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?
A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in Aria On The Bay, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?
Do I need an agent to buy a home in Aria On The Bay?
You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in Aria On The Bay do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.
Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?
Yes. For people moving within Miami-Dade County it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
