This historic hamlet sits in northwest Downtown Miami, Florida, at the intersection of Northwest Sixth Street and First Avenue.

The area takes its name from the Overtown/Lyric Theatre Metrorail station, which has served the community since opening on May 20, 1984. The station's identity has shifted over the decades, reflecting the neighborhood's changing landscape. When the Miami Arena opened in 1988, the station became known as Overtown/Arena, a name that stuck until 2007 when it was simplified back to Overtown/Lyric Theatre following the arena's demolition a year later.

The station itself forms a gateway to the area, providing rapid transit access through Miami's Metrorail system. Just a short walk away is MiamiCentral, the major transportation hub that connects Tri-Rail and Brightline services, making this a genuinely accessible location for getting around South Florida. Visitors can explore the character of this historic neighborhood, which has deep roots in Miami's cultural development. The proximity to the restored Lyric Theatre adds cultural interest to the area, offering a sense of the entertainment venues that once anchored this community. For those interested in how Miami's neighborhoods have evolved and adapted, Overtown provides authentic insight into the city's layered history and ongoing development.
