West Miami pairs small-city ease with big-city access. Set between Miami and Coral Gables in Miami-Dade County, this compact community prizes walkable blocks, tidy lawns, and friendly corner cafés. Residents enjoy quick trips to Coral Gables’ dining and shops, Calle Ocho eateries, and local parks, while staying close to major corridors like Flagler Street and Southwest 8th Street. Housing ranges from mid-century single-family homes and duplexes to thoughtfully updated townhomes, often on quiet, sidewalked streets.
Families benefit from an array of public and magnet options through Miami-Dade County Public Schools, including nearby West Miami Middle School, with advanced coursework and arts programs a short drive away. Libraries and colleges are nearby, with the University of Miami and FIU just a short drive, expanding choices for enrichment. City-run recreation keeps calendars full—youth leagues, seasonal events, and classes are coordinated by the City of West Miami.
Commuters appreciate how effortless it is to get around: Miami International Airport sits just north, and countywide buses and Metrorail connections via Miami-Dade Transit make car-light living realistic. On weekends, neighbors gather for cafecitos, pastelitos, and family dinners at longstanding spots along 57th Avenue and 8th Street, with world-class arts and sports within minutes.
