Located in Miami/Dade County
Ives Estates is a South Florida community of mixed subdivisions with palm trees and live oaks lining the streets that branch off the community winding main road. At the heart of the community is a plaza for casual shopping and dining, but thanks to nearby Aventura, Hollywood and Hallandale Beach, additional high-end options are never far away.
Ives Estates is less than 5 miles from major Miami area attractions like Hard Rock Stadium. The premier sports destination is home to the Miami Dolphins and seats up to 65,326. In addition to a consistent calendar of Dolphins and college games, the stadium is a venue for nationally acclaimed artists. Prospective residents should note that with big events comes heavy traffic.
Gulfstream Park Casino is about 3 miles from Ives Estates. The entertainment hub is a primary draw to Hallandale Beach, right by the Intracoastal Waterway. The destination’s chief attractions are thoroughbred horse racing, a state-of-the-art casino with over 800 slot machines and a ritzy shopping plaza with several restaurants, including Texas de Brazil, an upscale Brazilian steakhouse chain.
List prices in Ives Estates begin with the community's original condominiums, built in the 1970s and ‘80s. Units in these low-rise buildings typically range from the low $100,000s to the high $300,000s. New construction townhouses are more expensive, ranging from $450,000 to the high $600,000s. Most of the single-family homes are 1950s and ‘60s ranch-style houses that cost between $500,000 and $800,000. In the 1990s, the Spanish Revival style was all the rage, and several subdivisions were built with stucco-sided, terracotta-roofed homes that largely fall within the same price range as their midcentury neighbors. New construction houses, with their contemporary, sleek exteriors, cost between $800,000 and the high $900,000s.
Good eats aren’t hard to come by in Ives Estates. The community is bound by main thoroughfares like U.S. Route 441 and Ives Dairy Road, which are lined by eclectic, locally owned spots, such as Awash Ethiopian Restaurant. Named after an Ethiopian river, Awash is a family-owned eatery popular for homestyle Ethiopian cuisine. Chef Creole Seasoned Kitchen serves Creole classics down the street, but most head there for the signature spiced-up seafood. Winn-Dixie is right in the nearby shopping plaza, RK Centers.
Aventura Mall – the fourth-largest shopping mall in the United States — is just 3 miles west of Ives Estates. Walking through the expansive and airy indoor shopping mecca is home to more than 300 stores, and more are on the way with the recent addition of a two-story Saint Laurent boutique and the anticipated arrival of Eataly in the spring of 2025. And shopping there takes visitors past various contemporary art installations, from multicolored, multipatterned hanging square screens to bronze sculptures that double as benches.
Students in Ives Estates attend Miami-Dade Public Schools. Madie Ives K-8 Prep Academy is graded B-minus on Niche. Highland Oaks Middle earns a B. Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High has a B-plus and is home to the STAR Academy. The arts-focused program allows participating students to spend 2 hours daily in their respective disciplines, whether theater, dance, band and orchestra, chorus, or visual arts.
Ives Estates Park is set behind Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High. The green space recently received substantial upgrades funded by the Orange Bowl Committee. “They have all kinds of ball fields at the park, and it’s just a comfortable, safe area to be in,” says Larry Louis, a top producer for Keller Williams Elite Properties in Aventura. The park has athletic fields and courts for everything from tennis to baseball. Down Ives Dairy Road, about 3 miles from Ives Estates, Highland Oaks Park routinely fills up with delectable vendors for Food Truck Thursdays. Family-friendly live music plays from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. as locals line up for authentic Latin street fare, decked out personal pizzas, churro-topped milkshakes, and more. Throughout the rest of the week, Highland Park is a quiet spot, popular for its lakeside walking loop, playground and athletic facilities.
Ives Estates is just under 15 miles south of Fort Lauderdale and about 16 miles north of Miami. Ives Dairy Road has ramps onto Interstate 95, and several Miami-Dade County Metrobus stops. The main road is also a direct route for residents to reach Aventura, Louis says. “[It] takes them right to Aventura in 3 miles.” Ives Estates is 10 miles from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and 3 miles from the nearest hospital, HCA Florida Aventura Hospital.
