Carol City
Like the name suggests, Miami Gardens West is the western part of the larger city of Miami Gardens. Also known as Carol City or Norwood, Miami Gardens is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area and the eighth largest, just behind Coral Springs. Roughly 20 miles from downtown Miami, Miami Gardens West offers a suburban neighborhood feel with a variety of housing options and styles for homebuyers at any stage of life.
The neighborhood is crisscrossed by flood canals and small bodies of water like Lake Steven, creating plenty of backyard waterfront perfect for fishing or boating. Single-family homes here are primarily ranch-style, offering a single story and broad curbside footprint. Beyond this standard pattern, homes vary wildly in design, offering bright colorful exteriors to match Florida’s tropical climate or showing off some state history with Spanish-influenced barrel tile roofing. Three-bedroom homes average around $500,000 but prices can vary depending on location. There are also larger homes available, some with upwards of seven rooms, ideal for large families. If you’re looking for something smaller, condominium buildings offer two-bedroom units in the mid-$200,000s.
Students in Miami Gardens West can attend Miami-Dade County public schools, with several nearby options within the neighborhood, like Lake Stevens Elementary or North Glade Elementary, both having been awarded an overall grade of B from Niche. Lake Stevens Middle offers a STEM coding magnet program for students to learn about software design and production. The school is also a Verizon Initiative Learning school, which provides students with iPads and free monthly data to enhance learning. Lake Stevens Middle recently received a grant to build a 5G Innovation Lab that would provide opportunities and electives for students to study virtual reality, artificial intelligence, coding and more. Miami Carol City Senior High School offers several Career Technical Education programs for students to kickstart a future career and gain important industry certifications in fields like culinary arts, digital design and barbering. The school’s magnet law program gives students real-world experience in the legal field with mock trial events and partnerships with the University of Miami School of Law, St. Thomas University School of Law and local law offices.
To enjoy the Florida weather, head to one of the neighborhood’s green spaces like A.J. King Park, offering sports facilities and a playground right next to the local YMCA. Lake Stevens Park features its own shaded play area and picnic pavilions, along with public exercise stations and walking trails to burn off lunch.
While Miami Gardens West is primarily residential, there are some shopping and dining options within the neighborhood for a quick bite to eat or convenient access to groceries. Find household necessities and local produce at the Price Choice supermarket in Miami Gardens Shopping Plaza or head to the nearby Walmart for almost everything else. Enjoy the variety of chain restaurants and fast-food options along Miami Gardens Drive or try local favorites like We Shuckin’, a Southern-style eatery serving soul food classics from across the Southeast like gumbo, collards and peach cobbler. If none of those nearby choices pique your interest, jump on the nearby Palmetto Expressway for easy travel across northern Miami and the surrounding area.
