Living in the middle of Miami-Dade County
Named after the famed Miami Beach resort, Fontainebleau is a suburban neighborhood offering quiet living 11 miles west from the heart of downtown Miami. Residents are more likely to find palm trees in front yards and grassy public parks than high-rise hotels on the coast, but access to shopping and dining on Flagler Street and popular thoroughfares like the Dolphin Expressway make it an increasingly convenient location. "Fontainebleau is close to three of Miami's largest malls, Florida International University and major local intersections, so it's a very in-demand area. My clients love not needing to own a car, they can just step out their front doors, get on a bus and go anywhere in the city," says Pablo Mercade, a recently retired Realtor who sold homes in the area for 25 years. With neighborhood amenities like public schools and manmade lakes located within walking distance, Fontainebleau is close to many of the city's amenities while still maintaining a relaxing, residential atmosphere.

Rising housing market in Fontainebleau
Most homes in Fontainebleau were built in the 1970s and '80s and can be found along narrowly spaced lots. Set against the neighborhood's sidewalk-lined streets and ornamental greenery, buyers will see Spanish-Revival stylings like terra cotta roofs and warmly painted stucco exteriors. Most properties are single-story builds and duplexes are common, with the largest homes in the neighborhood offering four bedrooms and just over 2,500 square feet. Despite the neighborhood's compact floorplans, home prices have continued to rise in recent years. "Homes in Fontainebleau have a high demand because of their central location; most go quickly and, if you do list them for a fair price, they won't last long," Mercade says. Two-bedroom homes with just over 1,000 square feet can be found selling for as low as $375,000, but most homes in the neighborhood sell from about $550,000 to $850,000. Buyers can also find condo and townhouse communities in the area like Century Parc, which offers access to a clubhouse, pool and gym. Prices for condos and townhouses tend to range from $240,000 to $480,000. Fontainebleau is also known for being relatively safe, with a CAP Index crime score of 3 out of 10.

Shopping and dining along Flagler Street
"Flagler Street is really convenient for shopping with all its stores and malls right next to the neighborhood, but my favorite thing about Fontainebleau is its great mix of Latin cultures," says Roxana Galindez, a Realtor with Real Estate Empire Group and former resident of the area. Galindez recommends visiting Off the Hook Churrascaria for authentic Brazilian flavors like picanha, a tender and flavorful cut of sirloin steak, paired with fruity drinks, cheese bread and fried plantain. Bandeja Paisa is another popular restaurant serving Columbian cuisine like "La Original," a platter loaded with bean consomme, chicharrones, chorizo, avocado, and an arepa with hogao. For more shopping and dining options, Miami's largest malls, like Mall of The Americas, Dolphin Mall and Miami International Mall, are all located within a few miles of Fontainebleau. When cooking at home, residents can stop by Costco Wholesale about 2 miles away, or walk to local options like Fresco y Más and Walmart Supercenter, located right across Flagler Street.

Several soccer and baseball fields provide expansive grassy spaces for sports, along with a public swimming pool and courts for tennis and sand volleyball.

Whether hiring an airboat, renting a kayak or visiting a wildlife and rescue center, the Everglades are a nearly endless resource for enjoying Florida's beautiful nature.

Getting around the Magic City
Just 11 miles west of downtown, Fontainebleau is still well connected to the rest of the city. Public transportation is readily available, with local bus routes circulating through all the neighborhood's main thoroughfares and bike lanes located on Tamiami Trail. Thanks to the Dolphin Expressway, also called FL-836, a trip downtown takes as little as 20 minutes. Galindez advises to plan around rush hour, however, noting that traffic can make the commute take up to 40 minutes. Miami International Airport is also just eight miles away for those traveling outside the city, and the closest hospital, Keralty Hospital, is just 3 miles southeast, off of Coral Way.
