As Miami’s housing prices grow, those looking to enter the market can have difficulty finding something they can afford that’s still close to the action. Enter Gladeview, a small census-designated place in Miami-Dade County, about 10 miles from downtown and even closer to upscale—and expensive— communities like Wynwood and the Miami Design District. “Gladeview is an older part of Miami, but it’s really evolving,” says Ileana Rodriguez, a Realtor with RE/MAX Advance who sells throughout the Miami area. “They’re totally rehabbing the old houses or knocking them down and building new ones.” Along with proximity to some of the city’s buzziest neighborhoods, Gladeview is close to Interstate 95, Miami International Airport and the beaches. “You’re really in the middle of everything,” Rodriguez says.
Gladeview is about 10 miles from downtown Miami.

Community is mostly residential, with a mix of ranch-style, new traditional homes and 1920s cottages
Gladeview’s west side contains warehouses and other light industrial buildings, and the rest of the community is residential, with a few stores, parks, restaurants and schools scattered throughout. Residential streets contain a mix of cottages and small mission-style bungalows built in the 1920s, larger midcentury-era ranch-style houses built in the 1950s and 1960s and new traditional styles built after 2000. These homes sit close together on petite lots surrounded by mature trees and low fences. The median price for single-family homes is about $440,000, lower than nearby areas like Hialeah and West Little River. “Everything has gotten so expensive here in Miami. Gladeview has some homes that are a little more affordable,” Rodriguez says.
