Little Havana
Family recreation in Little Havana
Little Havana is a bit more urban than its namesake, but plenty of locals and visitors fill the local parks on any given day. Domino Park, officially named for the Cuban revolutionary Máximo Gómez, is nicknamed after the table game. Players excitedly slam the pieces down on tables day and night, giving this vibrantly decorated park a raucous energy. Grove Mini Park has a playground for children and barbecues for warm Florida cookouts. The whole family can catch a ballgame a block away from Grove at LoanDepot Park, where the Miami Marlins play home games all spring and summer.Cuban cuisine is plentiful in this enclave
It can take time to decide where to eat around here. Sala'o Cuban Restaurant & Bar hosts live music and serves Cuban dishes; the restaurant’s theme is dedicated to Ernest Hemingway, a lifelong lover of Cuba and the Florida Keys. From eating what many say is the best Cuban sandwich in the country at Sanguich to sitting down for a more formal Cuban meal at the world-famous Versailles restaurant, Little Havana offers a dizzying array of options. Even the local McDonald's offers croquetas and specialty McCafecitos. And there's a Publix nearby for those who prefer to cook their own platanos.Condos, single-family homes and multi-unit buildings decorate Little Havana
The northeastern third of the neighborhood, bordering the Miami River, is in the flood zone. Sections next to the river are mainly industrial, with a few older homes and teardown lots under construction. New apartment buildings are being constructed along 7th Street, near LoanDepot Park. Spanish-style haciendas with three bedrooms, renovated ramblers, and prewar Craftsman homes are all visible throughout Little Havana. Housing prices range from $200,000 to $400,000 for individual condos and apartments. At the same time, single-family homes will range from $450,000 to over $700,000. Finally, homebuyers seeking to purchase multi-unit properties like duplexes and fourplexes can find some from $900,000 to $2 million. Ortiz says, “Little Havana’s condos are older constructions and are mostly full of renters; a lot of renovation is being done on some of these old condo buildings as well.”Local art events and festivals along Calle Ocho
Local artists host an opening at the Futurama 1637 art gallery every month. The Calle Ocho Music Festival has happened every March for four decades, running down Little Havana’s main street of the same name. It is the culmination of a citywide event, Carnival Miami—a cultural import from Brazil.
Miami-Dade Schools teaches digital literacy for students
The Miami-Dade County Public Schools system serves Little Havana. Nearby options include Shenandoah Elementary, rated a C-plus on Niche, and Shenandoah Middle, rated a B-minus. Shenandoah Middle School is part of the Microsoft IT Academy Program, adding digital literacy to the curriculum to prepare students for career and college readiness. Miami Senior High School, which received a B-plus on Niche, is listed on the United States Historical Site Registry because it's the oldest high school in Miami-Dade County, opening its doors in 1903. Once students get their diplomas, the Eduardo Padrón campus of Miami-Dade College is within Little Havana, the institution has the largest undergraduate enrollment of any college or university in the U.S.
Tamiami Trail is the main artery of the neighborhood
U.S. Highway 41 runs from the Georgia state line south and along Little Havana's southern border. This section of the highway is called the Tamiami Trail and holds scenic views along the Atlantic Ocean. Two stops on the Miami Metrorail are also within walking distance for many Little Havana residents. Downtown is just a few miles east for simple commutes by car.
