The two-bedroom, one-bath layout at 831 square feet posts the lowest cost per square foot among available two-bedrooms; the smallest one-bedroom carries the highest cost per square foot on the page, because base rent doesn’t scale down as fast as unit size does below 700 square feet.

Fee amounts per the Apartments.com Fees and Policies section for this property. On a $2,076 one-bedroom, that’s roughly $2,261 due before the first month’s rent itself, not counting any pet deposit.
Building Facts
The property’s structured facts entry on Apartments.com lists the building as built in 1990, with 31 stories and 465 units. A separate directory, Redfin’s listing for the same address, states 32 units. Neither source cites a county record.
How many units does Park Place by the Bay have? One listing states 465 units across 31 stories, built in 1990. A separate marketplace listing states 32 units for the same address. The 465-unit figure comes from a structured property-facts field; the 32-unit figure has no stated source and looks like a data error, but neither is confirmed against a county building record.
Pets
Two sources tied to the same operator disagree directly. The property manager’s page states pets are allowed, one per unit, 35 pounds maximum. The Apartments.com FAQ for this same address states pets are not allowed except service animals, while the amenities list on that identical page includes a dog park.
Is Park Place by the Bay pet-friendly? One official source says yes, one pet up to 35 pounds. A marketplace FAQ for the same property says no pets except service animals, despite listing a dog park as an amenity on the same page. The two sources conflict; confirm directly with the leasing office.
Amenities
- Pool, Jacuzzi, and sundeck with cabanas at ground level.
- Fitness center and community room on the penthouse floor.
- Covered garage parking and 24-hour concierge.
- On-site deli and convenience store.
- Grab bars available at no charge, a documented accessibility feature.
- Dog park, though it sits alongside the pet-policy conflict above.
Does Park Place by the Bay have in-unit laundry? No. The property does not offer in-unit laundry or a shared laundry facility; residents use nearby off-site options.
Location and Commute
Local Logic scores the address 60 out of 100 for walkability and 100 out of 100 for transit, per the Apartments.com scores panel. Zillow’s listing, using Walk Score instead of Local Logic, scores the same address 89 for walkability, a reminder that walk-score figures aren’t interchangeable across providers even when the transit number matches.
The nearest rail stop, Historic Overtown/Lyric Theatre, sits 0.3 miles away, about a 4-minute walk. MiamiCentral Station itself, the stop the property’s marketing site names directly, is 0.4 miles away, closer to a 7-minute walk than the “four minutes” the leasing copy states.
Neighborhood: Park West
| Bedroom Count | Park West Avg. | Miami Citywide Avg. |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $2,754 | $2,095 |
| 1 Bedroom | $3,357 | $2,237 |
| 2 Bedrooms | $3,999 | $2,819 |
| 3 Bedrooms | $4,869 | $3,605 |
Averages per the Apartments.com neighborhood rent-comparison panel. Every listed unit at Park Place by the Bay prices below its Park West bedroom-count average, and below the one-bedroom and two-bedroom citywide averages too; only the 3-bedroom’s $3,560 sits under both benchmarks by the widest margin, more than $1,300 under the neighborhood average for that bedroom count.
What’s the total move-in cost beyond rent? Budget for an $85 application fee, a $100 administrative fee, and a security deposit equal to one month’s rent, on top of the first month itself.

What Residents Say
The 3.2-out-of-5 rating on the Apartments.com listing reflects only 8 reviews, split evenly between strongly positive and strongly negative. A larger pool of 69 reviews on ApartmentRatings.com names specific recurring problems: a single working elevator serving a 31-story building, outdated in-unit appliances, and an external parking situation where residents describe paying roughly $50 a month for a lot enforced only until early evening. Positive reviews single out staff responsiveness and skyline views from upper floors as the reasons residents stayed.
