It's a solid choice for families who want an established residential setting in western Miami-Dade with access to schools like John I. Smith K-8 Center. The area draws steady interest, with 104 homes sold over the past year, which points to a community people commit to.

It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the county, with a median list price of $722,500 and homes averaging $329 per square foot. That said, the range runs from $135,000 all the way to $1,280,000, so there's more flexibility than the median alone suggests.

The median home is about 2,047 square feet, and the median sold price over the last 12 months came in at $601,250 — below the current median list price of $722,500. Seven of the active listings are priced above $1 million, so the top end is real but not the norm.

It's balanced and moving at a healthy pace, with 52 active listings and a median of about 33 days on market. Sellers are getting 98% of asking on average, so serious buyers should come prepared rather than expecting deep discounts.

Most homes in this zone are single-family without HOA dues, and no median HOA figure is reported here. The median annual property tax runs about $6,789, and median rent sits at $3,300 a month if you're weighing renting against buying.
