Quiet, residential Pinewood Park offers highway connectivity just north of Miami. The neighborhood features single-family homes close to healthcare, public schools and local parks, attracting families. It’s also surrounded by a diverse culinary scene, near public transit and rich in tropical greenery.
According to longtime local Brenda Avila, a Realtor with RelatedISG Realty, “Pinewood Park is an older neighborhood. Many houses are from the 1940s and ‘50s.” These old-Florida cottages and ranch-style houses are primarily HOA-free, featuring colorful stucco exteriors, from pink and peach to green and sky blue. Some have been converted to multifamily properties. Driveways are common, but street parking is also available in unpaved verges between the roads and sidewalks. Lots are small but green year-round, with mature palms and live oaks shading lawns, while blooming tropical plants like Allamanda bring seasonal pops of color.
More than half of residents here rent, but for those buying the median sale price is in the low $400,000s, down 2% from last year. “It’s a blue-collar market, good for first-time homebuyers, and attractive to investors, too,” Avila says. Age, lot size, square footage, location, and condition are among the main price determinants, with fixer-uppers on the low end and renovated waterfront houses on the high end. Newer construction fetches a higher price tag, too. Overall, most homes sell between the high $200,000s and the mid $600,000s. Multifamily properties, such as duplexes, have sold from the mid $500,000s to just over $700,000.
Flood insurance is an additional cost to consider when buying in the Miami area. FEMA has designated a few flood zones around the canal and lakes in Pinewood Park, so homebuyers purchasing within them will need flood insurance for a federally backed mortgage. Hurricane season, from June to November, makes hurricane retrofitting essential as well.
Miami-Dade County Public Schools is a highly rated district, featuring more than 350 magnet programs with acceptance based on random lottery or, for arts programs, auditions. Florida’s controlled open enrollment policy allows families to apply to any public school with capacity, regardless of a student’s home district. Pinewood Park is served by several public schools, including Van E. Blanton Elementary School, Henry E.S. Reeves K-8 Center, Madison Middle School and Miami Central Senior High.
The neighborhood has two parks: Arthur Woodard Park and Gratigny Plateau Park. Arthur Woodard, a lakeside green space on the south side, has walking trails, an outdoor gym and a shaded picnic area. Gratigny Plateau, on the north side, has a shaded playground, walking trails, outdoor workout stations and a butterfly garden.
Several more green spaces are within a short drive, such as:
Northwest 119th Street and U.S. Route 441 are the main avenues for shopping and dining in Pinewood Park. Grocery stores, banks, gas stations and other conveniences are within easy reach, and residents have a wide variety of eateries, including:
Public transit is available via Metrobus, with stops concentrated along U.S. Route 441 on the neighborhood’s east side. Interstate 95 is also accessible on the east side, making it easy to reach Miami International Airport or Downtown Miami, both within 10 miles. Miami Beach is closer to 12 miles away.
