Latin heritage and lakefront living in suburban Miami
Cultural heritage and a refined suburban lifestyle come together in Olympia Heights. First established as a residential area to accommodate returning veterans after World War II, the area stayed popular with residents in later decades thanks to the beauty of its nearby lakes and the family-focused nature of its ranch-style homes. Like Westchester to the area’s north, Hispanic and Latino residents make up a large portion of Olympia Heights’ population, a quality reflected in the presence of establishments such as the Raices Hispanic Cultural Arts Center and many of the dining and shopping options near Bird Road.

Olympia Heights welcoming neighborhood close to tropical park.. people are very into their lives so there is not a lot of interaction with neighbors but once you go to the park is a different ballgame. as well when natural disasters occur I try to help as much I as can my elderly neighbors with chores they can not perform. overall this community is recommended to live in.
