Homes for Sale in Miami Lakes

Miami Lakes Homes for Sale

Miami Lakes is one of the few true planned communities in Miami-Dade County — a town built around lakes, pedestrian streets, and a small-town feel that most of the county simply doesn’t have. If you’re searching for homes for sale in Miami Lakes FL, you’re looking at a market where buyers consistently pay a premium for walkability, schools, and neighborhood character that’s hard to find anywhere else at this price point.

About Miami Lakes

Miami Lakes was developed by the Graham family in the 1960s and incorporated as a town in 2000. It sits along the Palmetto Expressway (SR-826) in northwestern Miami-Dade, bordered by Hialeah to the south, Hialeah Gardens to the west, and Carol City to the east. The town spans zip codes 33014, 33015, and 33016, with lakes and green space woven throughout the residential streets.

Main Street Miami Lakes is the town’s pedestrian commercial district — restaurants, boutiques, professional offices, and community events in a walkable format that feels more like a small city than a Miami suburb. It’s one of the strongest lifestyle differentiators the town offers over neighboring Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens.

Schools in Miami Lakes

Miami Lakes is served by Miami-Dade County Public Schools and consistently draws buyers with families because of its school options. Miami Lakes K-8 Center, Miami Lakes Middle School, and Barbara Goleman Senior High serve the core residential neighborhoods. Miami Lakes Educational Center is a specialized option within the town as well. Several charter schools also serve the area.

What the Miami Lakes Housing Market Looks Like

Home for sale in Miami Lakes inventory skews toward single-family homes and townhomes on lakefront or lake-view lots. Older homes from the 1970s and 80s coexist with newer construction, and renovation activity has been strong in the last several years as buyers update kitchens and add impact windows. The combination of lake views and Palmetto access consistently supports demand from buyers relocating from Hialeah, Doral, and Aventura.

• Minutes from Amelia Earhart Park and the Miami Lakes Golf Course
